New Short Story in "Abyss & Apex"
My short story "Study. Learn. Know." is now available in the 2016 4th quarter issue of Abyss & Apex. This is a far future science fiction story about hermit crabs, scholars, and AI programs. Read it free here!
Funnily enough, my biography at the end of the story, which I just e-mailed to the magazine a day or two ago, says that my husband and I live in upstate New York. Except we moved to Houston almost thirteen years ago. Freudian slip?
Short fiction reviews coming within the next few days....

A Tale of Two Art Forms, Part II: Houston Ballet and Houston Grand Opera
A few nights ago I was fortunate enough to attend Houston Ballet's Dance Talk titled "A Closer Look at Cio-Cio San", who is also known as "Madame Butterfly." This talk was a lead-up to Houston Ballet's upcoming production of Madame Butterfly, a two-act ballet created by the company's Artistic Director, Stanton Welch, back in 1995 for The Australian Ballet. This, in turn, was based on Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly. (The "a" is not a typo; the opera really is titled Madama rather than Madame.)
I always enjoy Houston Ballet's "Dance Talks," but this one was particularly thrilling for me because we not only got to hear about the character of Cio-Cio San from Yuriko Kajiya, one of Houston Ballet's principal dancers who will be dancing as Cio-Cio San in the upcoming production, the panel also included Vicki Attard, who originated the role in Welch's premiere of this ballet, and Ana María Martínez, who we have seen sing the role in Houston Grand Opera's production of Puccini's opera not once, but twice.
The discussion was ably led by Dr. Howard Pollack from UH Moore's School of Music. Dr. Pollack first gave some background on the ballet, which is based on the opera, which is based on David Belasco's one-act play titled Madame Butterfly: A Tragedy of Japan. And that was based on the 1898 short story titled "Madame Butterfly" by John Luther Long, which was partially based on stories told to Long by his sister and partially on Pierre Loti's 1887 French novel Madame Chrysanthème.
Got all that? There will be a quiz.
The panel discussion lasted about an hour, but it seemed to fly by much more quickly than that. The artists discussed the fact that modern audiences may view Cio-Cio San as a victim, but within the context of her story, her strength is illuminated when she sacrifices herself for her child. They also spoke about the challenge of performing opposite different singers/dancers as Pinkerton, and performing with a small child or, as Ms. Martinez did at the Metropolitan Opera, with a puppet (and three puppeteers!) representing the child.
I was also impressed with how articulately Ms. Attard and Ms. Martinez described the process of bringing a character to life. People sometimes mistakenly assume that ballet dancers are unthinking dolls, but in actuality, the best dancers take a deep and intellectual approach to their characters. Similarly, opera singers literally must learn to convey emotion in many different languages, since most operas follow the language of the composer. If I recall correctly, we've heard Ms. Martinez sing beautifully in French (Carmen), Italian (Madama Butterfly), and Czech (Rusalka). It's not enough to learn the words by rote; the singers have to understand and convey what they're singing at all times.
All three of these strong, passionate, talented women were kind enough to sign my copy of the quadrilingual picture book shown at the top of this post, a book that is now a very treasured possession for me.
Houston Ballet's production of Madame Butterfly runs from September 22 to October 2, 2016. Tickets are available here. In addition, Ms. Martinez is in town to perform as Marguerite in Houston Grand Opera's production of Gounod's Faust, which runs from October 28 to November 11, 2016 (tickets here).

Short Fiction - August 2016
My short story "diet" in August was a little different than usual, as I focused a lot of my reading on a single-author collection that I'll be reviewing separately in a few days. Of the stories I read in August that were not part of that collection, one in particular jumped out at me, and I felt I should give it its own post rather than tack it on to my upcoming review.
by Jeremy Szal
Length: 973 words
Category: Short story (science fiction)
Where Published: Nature
When Published: 2016-08-10
Link (free)
Nature is one of the three venues that I read fairly regularly for flash fiction, the other two being Daily Science Fiction and Every Day Fiction. In this short piece, a soldier fitted with bio-armor to defend the Earth against an alien threat is left behind in his homeland of Nigeria when his superiors deem him dangerous to what's left of the human race.
Like the author of the story (according to his story commentary here), I've long been drawn to stories about power armor, starting with Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, John Steakley's Armor, and of course Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers. I'm impressed that Szal has managed to deliver such a complex mood, one that feels fresh to me, in so few words. At the same time, this story shares with its predecessors the message that war, with or without power armor, cuts off a whole generation of soldiers from the rest of humanity.
I also want to mention that Nature gives illustrations to most of its "Futures" stories; all of the ones I've seen have been by an artist going by the single name "Jacey." The illustrations are often simple but effective. Click through to the story to see this one.

Short Fiction - July 2016
I'm a little bit late in my post for my July short fiction reading, but I've been reading all along. Unusually for me, this month I read three novellas, one of them approximately 40K words long, balanced on the other ends by lots and lots of flash pieces and even microfiction, which I count as under 500 words. The two standouts for me this month fall on either end of that spectrum, with one flash piece and one novella.
I have to admit, my long fiction reading is suffering as a result of this story-a-day project. But I think I have become addicted to the short form, so that may be the way it has to be.
by Edward Ashton
Length: 971 words
Category: Short story (mainstream)
Where Published: Every Day Fiction
When Published: 2016-07-13
This short mainstream piece is about a man who has both cancer and regrets. In that sense, it's not what I'd call an innovative story, but I felt as though every word in the story was the right choice. The author conveys so much in a few words.
by Elizabeth Moon
Length: 20,450 words (est. based on sample page count)
Category: Novella (science fiction)
Where Published: Escape from Earth (anthology), SFBC
When Published: 2006
Link: N/A
This novelette appears in the anthology Escape from Earth, in which editors Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois were charged with finding stories with a traditional juvenile sensibility of longing to "see what's happening out there." I haven't read all the stories in the anthology yet, but Elizabeth Moon's "Combat Shopping" certainly filled the bill. Twelve-year-old Andi Murchison longs to get her pilot's license as a possible means to escape her stifling life in a habitat on Jupiter's moon Ganymede. When she defies her adoptive mother's orders to take the test, it sets off a chain of events that reveal some unexpected secrets about her situation. I loved the way Andi takes charge of her own destiny, yet doesn't forget her responsibilities to others, particularly her adoptive siblings.

Instrument : Aerosol Observing System (AOS)
Instrument Categories
General Overview
The aerosol observing system (AOS) is the primary Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) platform for in situ aerosol measurements at the surface. The principal measurements are those of the aerosol absorption and scattering coefficients as a function of the particle size and radiation wavelength. Additional measurements include those of the particle number concentration, size distribution, hygroscopic growth, and inorganic chemical composition. The AOS measures aerosol optical properties to better understand how particles interact with solar radiation and influence the earth's radiation balance. The measurements are useful for calculating parameters used in radiative forcing calculations such as the aerosol single scattering albedo, asymmetry parameter, mass scattering efficiency, and hygroscopic growth. To learn more, see the preliminary data plots.
The first AOS is located at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site in Oklahoma and has been operational since the beginning of April 1996. In 2005, a second AOS joined the first ARM Mobile Facility (AMF); the third AOS became operational with the second AMF. With funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, another AOS joined the ARM Facility and is available for deployments with either ARM Mobile Facility and/or the ARM fixed sites and capable of being deployed independently. For a list of instruments included in the AOS, see the Mobile AOS web page.
In March 2000, a long-term vertical profiling campaign began over the SGP site using a light aircraft. The measurements from the vertical profiles complement the surface measurements because the instrumentation on the airplane is similar to that at the SGP surface site. The aircraft measurements provide information on the aerosol vertical mixing.For more information and data, see the In-situ Aerosol Profiles (IAP) instrument page.
The AOS includes the following components:
- acsm : Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor
- aeth : Aethalometer
- aosmet : Meteorological Measurements associated with the Aerosol Observing System
- aps : Aerodynamic Particle Sizer
- caps-pmex : Cavity Attenuated Phase Shift Extinction Monitor

|About Us
When Poor Performance Gives You an EdgeBy Jeff Clark
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Happy International Impotence Awareness Month.
Forget about turkeys, cranberries, and Grandma's cornbread stuffing recipe... this month is dedicated to erectile dysfunction – and the $3 billion in annual drug sales the affliction brings to the pharmaceutical industry.
Three billion dollars can buy an awful lot of awareness. But it can't buy its own, exclusive month. November is also American Diabetes Awareness Month.
For the first time ever, diabetes broke into the top 10 therapeutic drug markets, with more than $10 billion in domestic sales last year. That's a lot of prescriptions. And the drugs are doing a lot of good. But it's not good enough to get top billing...
That honor goes to heartburn. With more than $13 billion in annual prescription drug sales, heartburn earns the top spot on the marquee for November. You see, November is also Heartburn Awareness Month.
Now, you might think that being an impotent diabetic with acid reflux would be enough to get you your own month. But, you'd be wrong. November is also dedicated to lung cancer awareness, pancreatic cancer awareness, pulmonary hypertension, and healthy skin. I'm not joking.
The problem is that there are many more afflictions than months of the year. The prescription drug business is a $600 billion per year cash cow... and it's getting bigger every year. Combine an aging population with an increasing reliance on prescription drugs to solve myriad problems – including chronic pain, obesity, sexual dysfunction, and more – along with a plethora of new drugs introduced to the market every year, and you have an enormously profitable business.
But pharmaceutical stocks can't catch a bid.
Drug stocks are among the worst performers since the bull started kicking almost five years ago. Since then, the Dow and S&P 500 have rallied to new all-time highs. The Nasdaq Composite Index has more than doubled. But the pharmaceutical sector – as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Pharmaceutical Index (DJUSPR) – is up a measly 17%.
That's 17% in five years. Heck, my money market fund has done better than that.
But poor performance can sometimes have its advantages. For example, when the stock market looks "toppy" and you're trying to capture a conservative return without taking on a lot of risk, often the best place for new money is in the stocks that haven't gone anywhere. After all, stocks that haven't shot to the moon don't have very far to fall. That describes the drug stocks perfectly.
During the past five years, as the drug stocks have been marking time, the drug companies have been growing their earnings, shoring up their balance sheets, creating new products, and eliminating competition by buying up one another.
In short, the drug companies are stronger than ever – and that fact is not yet reflected in the stock prices. But it's only a matter of time before it is... particularly for the generic drug companies poised to profit off of the tens of billions of dollars in drugs set to go off-patent.
Pretty soon it'll be Generic Pharmaceutical Company Stock Price Awareness Month. You'll want to be in position before that happens.
Best regards and good trading,
Jeff Clark
Running out of easy barrels... Deepwater drilling giants Transocean and GlobalSantaFe at all-time highs.
Machinery companies Deere and Bucyrus hit all-time highs.
Bear market in sunshine... Tejon Ranch (California) and St. Joe (Florida) hit new lows.

Farm-Life Skills Training of Autistic Adults at Bittersweet Farms.
Giddan, Jane J.
A farmstead community in Northwest Ohio, called Bittersweet Farms, serves as a habilitation program for autistic adults, involving 20 residents ranging from profoundly retarded to high functioning and 15 developmentally delayed adults who are part of an agricultural day program. The community is designated as an Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded, allowing residents to be supported by state Medicaid funds. Residents are provided opportunities to learn all tasks associated with housekeeping, cooking, animal care, farming, horticulture, and woodworking. Skills training emphasizes task analysis and carefully programmed teaching using positive reinforcement. The director and staff provide daily programming for the residents while consulting professionals (including the Behavior Management Team and the speech and language consultant) meet regularly to consider special issues. This paper describes farm activities, social life of residents, staffing, methods of encouraging social interaction, and training methods. (11 references) (JDD)

Zakarpattya region offers perfect conditions to raise buffalos
A road trip to Transcarpathia. One of the most unique regions of Ukraine - Zakarpattya. This is where you'll find a mix of cultures, cuisines, and nature untouched. This is also where the only buffalo farm in Ukraine is located.
Watch also 'Mythical' Takin: Ukraine's zoo presents a unique animal
The farm is home to about forty buffalos. More than a decade ago, they could have gone extinct in this country. But luckily this herd was saved.
Buffalos are hot-tempered animals. They don't like too much attention, and rarely let anyone get close to them. Mr. Mykola has been working here for about seven years. He says the buffalos have accepted him as one of his own. The farmer claims the animals are extremely bright and can feel much more than humans think.
The farm produces buffalo milk and cheese which are gaining popularity with Ukrainians due to their high nutritional value.
Watch also 500 rescued bats released from Kharkiv rehabilitation centre
And another interesting fact about this farm in Zakarpattya. Buffalos aren't the only ones residing here they share their accommodations with a few pigs, goats and lambs.

2013 Lexus RX 350 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Fresh styling for smooth-riding luxury SUV.
The Lexus RX lineup of sport utility vehicles gets facelift for the 2013 model year and a sporty new RX F Sport joins the lineup. The new 2013 RX 350 F Sport features an 8-speed transmission with paddle shifters and a sport-tuned suspension for quicker handling response.
The 2013 Lexus RX models look boldly different than the 2012 models, thanks mainly to the new spindle grille that has become the Lexus marque's new styling signature. Light clusters, wheels, option packages, and interior details have been updated for the 2013 model year as well.
Lexus RX seats five.
The 2013 Lexus RX comes in RX 350, RX 350 AWD, RX 350 F Sport, RX 450h, and RX 450h AWD versions. The RX is a crossover SUV, with front-wheel drive standard.
All-wheel drive comes on the RX 350 F Sport, RX 350 AWD and RX 450h AWD, helping them cope with winter weather. The RX 350 uses a light-weight all-wheel-drive system that operates through an electronic coupling on the rear differential, eliminating the need for a center differential. The comes standard with all-wheel drive. The RX 450h AWD uses an electric motor to drive the rear wheels so no mechanical connection between the axles is needed.
RX 350 models come with a 3.5-liter V6 and 6-speed automatic multi-mode transmission. The RX 350 beats the fuel economy ratings of the Acura MDX, Mercedes ML 350, and BMW X5 xDrive3.5i. The 2013 RX 350 is EPA-rated at 18/25 mpg City/Highway; the 2013 RX 350 AWD is rated 18/24 mpg; RX 350 F Sport is rated 18/26 mpg. Lexus says the RX 350 can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 7.7 seconds with front-wheel drive, 7.8 seconds with all-wheel drive, so there's little loss in performance with all-wheel drive.
The RX 450h hybrid gets better mileage yet, especially around town and in stop-and-go traffic. The RX Hybrid is very clean, achieving a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV II) certification in California, and a Tier 2-Bin 3 emissions rating in all other states; that's good, by the way. The 2013 RX 450h is EPA-rated at 32/28 mpg City/Highway; RX 450h AWD is rated 30/28 mpg. The 2013 RX 450h includes a new Sport mode that changes the steering effort, throttle mapping and transmission shifting. Acceleration performance is comparable to that of the gasoline-only versions. With its electric motor, the 2013 RX 450h AWD comes off the line more quickly than the RX 350 models do. Lexus claims 0-60 performance of 7.4 seconds for the 2013 RX Hybrid with all-wheel drive (7.8 seconds with front-wheel drive).
Overall, the Lexus RX models are comfortable and practical, easy to operate and ride more softly than other SUVs. Buyers who find the ride too soft may consider the RX F Sport model. The RX models are more fuel-efficient than many of their competitors. Drivers who need off-road capability would be better with a Lexus GX.
The 2013 Lexus RX 350 comes with front-wheel drive ($39,310) or all-wheel drive ($40,710). The RX 450h offers front-wheel drive ($45,910) or all-wheel drive ($47,310) and comes with a bit more standard equipment. Both come with fabric upholstery, automatic dual-zone climate control, AM/FM/6CD with nine speakers and a luxury level of standard equipment. 2013 RX models come standard with a power rear liftgate.
The optional Premium Package for the 2013 RX 350 ($2,260) consists of leather seats; three-position memory for the driver's seat, steering wheel, and mirrors; power glass sunroof; power-folding electrochromic outside mirrors; rear armrest storage with lid; and roof rails. The Luxury Package ($5,020) includes all the content of the Premium Package, plus power front seat cushion extenders, heated wood-and-leather-trimmed steering wheel, illuminated scuff plates, smog-sensing automatic interior air recirculation, headlamp washers, and 19-inch wheels with Superchrome finish. The Comfort Plus Package ($1,340) adds heated and ventilated front seats and rain-sensing wipers. The expanded Generation 7 HDD Navigation system ($2,775) includes a rearview camera, Bluetooth hands-free phone and automatic phonebook download capabilities, Lexus Enform 2.0 with Safety Connect including Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Location, Emergency Assist Button, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Destination Assist, eDestination and Enform App Suite; Lexus Insider; Remote Touch Navigation controller; HD Radio with iTunes tagging; advanced voice command casual-language voice recognition system; and SiriusXM radio with NavTraffic, NavWeather, Sports, Stocks and Fuel Prices. A 15-speaker Mark Levinson Audio system ($995) is available. Another package ($4,920) bundles navigation and rear-seat DVD entertainment.
Similar packages are available for the RX 450h.
The RX 350 F Sport AWD ($47,000) features a sport-tuned suspension, 8-speed paddle-shift transmission, 19-inch Dark Graphite wheels fitted with 235/55R19 tires, and special exterior trim. Black leather seats are highlighted with white contrast stitching, pedals are perforated aluminum, and all features from the Comfort Plus and Premium packages come standard.
Other RX options include a Heads-Up Display ($1,200), Heated/Ventilated Front Seats ($640), 19-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels with All-Season Tires ($770), Bi-Xenon High Intensity Discharge Headlamps ($515), Blind Spot Monitor ($500), and Intuitive Park Assist ($500).
Safety equipment includes front airbags; front-seat mounted side airbags; roll-sensing front and rear side-curtain air bags; driver and front passenger knee airbags and side airbags; active headrests for front seats; force-limiting seatbelt pre-tensioners for driver and front passenger seats; three-point seatbelts with pre-tensioners for all rear seating positions (3); direct-type tire pressure monitoring system; four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock brake system (ABS) with Brake Assist; enhanced VSC (Vehicle Stability Control). Optional safety features include Pre-collision System, a Blind Spot Monitor, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is now exclusive to the hybrid and the F Sport model. Like all Lexus vehicles, the 2013 Lexus RX comes with Smart Stop Technology, which automatically reduces engine power when the brake and accelerator pedals are applied simultaneously under certain driving conditions.
The Lexus RX gets fresh styling for the 2013 model year. We expect some will like it, others not so much.
The RX was completely redesigned for 2010, and the 2010-12 models had evolved an almost appliance-like smoothness of design, affirmed more than accented by the fastidiousness of its electric-shaver grille. For 2013, however, Lexus appears to have taken a cue from Audi and visually united the upper and lower air openings, intentionally breaking the horizontal continuity of the bumper. Only instead of Audi's fashionable goatee, Lexus uses a wide-hourglass form, appearing like the cross-section of a pulley or spindle. As before, the headlight clusters taper inboard to a point; but now the point is pointedly aimed at the pinch-point of the grille, and emphasized by a partial outline of LED running lights. Fog lights appear about where they were before, but are now more dramatically recessed and accented by a horizontal slash in the fascia.
On the basic RX 350, the grille texture has been simplified to just five bright horizontal lines above the still body-color bumper, and a dark slot below that ends just short of where it would have needed a sixth horizontal line for visual balance.
On the F Sport, however, the lower part of the grille spindle extends almost to the ground. Upper and lower openings are filled with matching mesh; and cut lines around the fog lights are deeper and more dramatic.
The RX 450h, on the other hand, has lost most of its visual distinction. A blue, enamel-like background has been added to the Lexus circled-L badge in the center of hybrid's grille.
Around back, the taillights have been subtly elongated, and the chrome bar between them is bolder. All models have LED brake lights and LED turn signals integrated into the side mirrors. In the side view, however, nothing has changed except the wheels. Gone are last year's fussy, triple-ribbed 5-spokers; for 2013, the standard 18-inch rims sport an attractive update of the classic muscle-car era five-spoke, and look just as cool now as they did back then. The 19-inch option is stunning, with five split, undulating spokes that seem to float free of the center hub.
As before, a 64-inch front tread-width lends the 2013 RX a wide stance. The wheel openings are round and unadorned. The whole shape of the vehicle is ovoid, yet highlighted by crisp, defining lines. Blacked-out roof pillars combine with rear privacy glass to merge the three side windows into a single visual unit.
Auto-dimming outside mirrors, optional on the RX 350, are standard on the hybrid.
Lexus has revised the interior of the 2013 RX, but here the changes are more subtle. Both the steering wheel and center console have been re-contoured for improved comfort and convenience, and the same matte aluminum trim that highlights the center stack now outlines the steering wheel hub and oddly slashes across the top of the glovebox door. Some new wood and leather combinations are now available as well. But anyone trading in their 2012 model for a 2013 will instantly feel at home.
It's still strangely exciting to sit in the cockpit of the Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h. There is a sensation of having so much to do, just like configuring a new computer. There are seating adjustments to lock in, preferences for the Remote Touch controller, operating modes to select and dashboard combinations to try out. We have a feeling an RX owner would be surprised to discover new features after months of ownership.
The RX comes to life with the push of a button. The instruments are bright and engaging, and shaded from outside light. The seats have side bolsters that are high enough to provide support during cornering, but they're still easy to get into. They feel firm at first, but medium-soft once you settle in, and are easily adjusted to a variety of positions. Mood lighting in the footwells and cabin supports a sense of quality and well-being.
The cockpit conveys a sense of sophistication, due in part to a gifted design scheme that (for the most part) avoids straight lines or sharp corners. Every element of the interior is curved, arched or rounded in some way, so lines blend with subtle grace and harmony. New Ebony or Espresso Birds-eye Maple wood trim accents complement light gray fabric; or black, light gray, parchment, or new saddle leather.
The cockpit is divided into two separate zones. The first is for information functions, located higher up where they are easy to see. The second is for control functions, located lower and within easy reach of both front seat occupants. This division is made possible by Remote Touch.
The Remote Touch system is essentially a computer mouse. It's located exactly where your hand would fall if your elbow were resting on the center console. This mouse will be immediately familiar to anyone who has used a computer. It replaces the need to reach out and touch the screen to use the Navigation system, or adjust audio or climate settings. We found it was simple to use while driving. It allowed us to avoid focusing on the navi screen to tune the climate control or turn down the volume. Plus, no more fingerprints on the screen.
The center console is bridge-like with built-in storage. The shifter is immediately above the Remote Touch mouse.
There are a number of redundant hard buttons on the steering wheel, and at various points on the dash, 52 in all, but the Remote Touch mouse really does reduce the need to use them. Like a computer mouse, Remote Touch can be adjusted for sensitivity to your preference.
The navigation system includes casual-speech voice recognition capability for hands-free operation of audio, climate, and Bluetooth. The system runs from a hard disc, not a DVD, so it's faster and allegedly smarter than a DVD system. New features for 2013 include HD radio with iTunes tagging, and Lexus Enform 2.0 with Safety Connect, which includes Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Location, Emergency Assist Button (SOS), Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Destination Assist, eDestination and Enform App Suite. In addition to SiriusXM NavTraffic, NavWeather, Sports, and Stocks, a service that reports fuel prices has been added to the package for 2013.
The standard audio system has 9 speakers, a 6-disc CD changer and can play MP3 and WMA files from your iPod. XM satellite capability is built in, and the first three months are free when you buy the RX. A digital power amplifier has been added for 2013. A 12-speaker system comes packaged with a backup monitor; and a 15-speaker Mark Levinson Surround Sound system is available (but only with Navigation) for those who require an audio system consistent with the very best home systems.
The front seats are fitted with active headrests as standard equipment. The headrests are designed to adjust upward in the event of a rear-end collision, reducing whiplash. Because of the active headrests, rear-seat entertainment screens are independently mounted in pods behind the headrests. The two seven-inch LCD screens can operate separately so one passenger can play a game while another passenger watches a DVD. The seats are covered in fabric in standard trim, with leather and semi-aniline leather offered as available options.
We found the available semi-aniline leather flawless, and we were hard pressed to find a misplaced stitch or shadow of stain anywhere. In fact, the leather is so supple and uniformly perfect we first thought it must be synthetic material. Regardless of the covering, both front seats are 10-way adjustable, with memory, and heated/air conditioned seats are available.
The Lexus RX seats five.
The rear seat can accommodate three and has a 40/20/40 fold-down split. One or both seatbacks can be released from behind, while loading cargo, eliminating the need to walk around to the side of the vehicle. The rear seats also have a fold-down center console with a covered wood grain cupholder and separate covered storage compartment. The rear seats are shorter, with less reclinability than the front seats, but with good legroom for average-size adults like ourselves, much better than a seat on a 757 these days. There are four grab handles, one for each door. There are two rear air conditioning vents to cool the rear compartment.
Cargo room behind the rear seats is 40 cubic feet, enough for four average golf bags.
The hybrid RX 450h has essentially the same cabin as the RX 350, except that the 450h has an Eco driving indicator that displays fuel economy using a bar graph. A hybrid system indicator replaces the tachometer to provide driving feedback.
Driving Impression
We've driven RX 350 models with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive as well as an RX 450h hybrid.
The RX 350 responds well to throttle out on the road. Part of that is the big 3.5-liter V6, part of it is the 6-speed transmission. The 6-speed automatic has a lower first-gear ratio than the typical 5-speed, so it gets the RX quickly up to velocity for merging or highway entry. Lexus told us to expect 0-60 acceleration times in the neighborhood of 7.7 seconds, and a quarter mile time of 15.7, and that's about the way it felt. We didn't go there but top speed is electronically limited to 112 mph.
The transmission quickly selects gears based on throttle input, so you can ask for a gentle downshift just by giving it a little more gas. If you floor the accelerator, it kicks down two gears and moves out. It's also possible to select your own gears in multi-mode shifting, but the automatic's logic seemed so intuitive that we would probably drive in Auto 95 percent of the time, using the manual mode for downhill control on the highway or a long uphill when heavily loaded. There is no V8 option for the RX, but if there were, we'd wager that performance would not be much improved, and mileage would suffer.
We did not feel much torque steer in the front-wheel-drive models, particularly not in the Hybrid.
The RX 350 is not built for road racing, but more for passenger comfort. The double-wishbone independent rear suspension has a lot to do with that. Still, it has a nice, clean turn-in and good lateral grip for an SUV. Here's where its genuinely wide track (a little over 64 inches in front, a little under in the rear) contributes noticeably to agility.
We expect Lexus vehicles to be exceptionally quiet, and the RX is no exception. That said, the optional 19-inch wheels do allow for more road input, and a little more noise and vibration seep through. Our preference is for the 18-inch wheels.
Regardless of tire choice, we found it easy to maintain a conversation using a low tone of voice at normal speeds. Lexus pioneered the science of quietness in a car, with the result that almost all cars are significantly quieter than they were several years ago. Tricks such as optimized wheelwell damping coatings and fender liners have been incorporated into the RX. The underbody of the car has also received attention against wind noise. And the sixth gear in the transmission allows for ultra-quiet cruising, with less engine noise, on the highway.
All those things also hold true for the RX 450h, but because it is a hybrid, it regularly operates with the engine off altogether. During those times, noise reduction is even greater, bordering on eerie.
The brakes feel strong and progressive, with just a little squish at the top of the pedal before stronger grip kicks in. The hybrid brakes, which are regenerative, are much more smoothly modulated than earlier hybrid brakes. The transition between light braking, when the generator reclaims power, and the serious stopping power that comes on when more pedal is applied, can still be felt, but you have to look for it.
Steering effort is light, and proportioned electronically, with power-assist logic based on vehicle speed. The slower you go, the less effort required, so it can be just as appropriate in the parking lot as in the fast lane on the way to Las Vegas. Lexus uses the electric steering system on a number of its vehicles, because it reduces drag on the motor and thus, improves fuel economy. It's also more compact, so there are packaging advantages, and once you have a computer controlling steering, you can add VDIM.
Now exclusive to the hybrid and the F Sport, VDIM is not a system easily tested in normal driving, because it requires driving out of control, and then recovering. At which point, nothing will have happened, except maybe a brief flash of an icon on the dash. But it's a system that looks at steering, braking, throttle and motion sensors in the cabin to predict what will actually happen, compared to what the driver is asking for. If there is any difference between the two, the system intervenes and selectively brakes individual wheels to correct the path of the car. It happens so fast you might not notice. We've tested VDIM on race tracks and lonely dirt roads. It works without slowing down the car much, unlike VSC, which is the standard traction/stability control system. It's an expensive system, but it works very well.
Visibility for the driver is excellent by SUV standards. It's easy to keep track of the area around the vehicle when backing up or parking. Driver visibility is enhanced by small windows in the A-pillar, and by small TV cameras that track the rear and passenger-side of the RX. Images from the video cameras is displayed on the navigation screen. One camera is located in the right side mirror, the other in the rear bumper. We found we could toggle between the two views, front and side, to see how close we were to the curb or pedestrians.
We found the RX to be a relaxed and comfortable ride, so we spent time trying out some of its electronics systems.
We actuated the heads up display and found it makes it easy to stick to speed limits in unfamiliar ground. Bright white, high-contrast figures were easy to read, even heading into sunlight. It's the best we've seen so far. It's possible to project the display anywhere on the windshield; we liked it best low and to the left.
Voice recognition, something we've never really trusted, still takes a little getting used to, but the system in the RX is much closer to something we might use every day. We began by asking it to switch to channel 143 on XM, which it had no problem doing. It also seemed to quickly be able to supply the nearest gas stations, and turn down the air conditioning. However, when we asked it to play Grateful Dead, it did not find the channel on its own, so evidently there are limits to Hal's intelligence.
The RX 450h is offered in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, but the all-wheel-drive system is different; it incorporates a separate rear electric motor to power the rear wheels. Because it is a hybrid, the transmission is a continuously variable automatic and the brakes are different due to the need to regenerate electricity. And there are a few packaging and styling differences to consider when making a decision between the two. Because of the addition of electric motors, the RX 450h has 25 more horsepower than the RX 350, which compensate for a weight penalty of about 160 pounds.
Using the EPA Combined city/highway ratings, both FWD and AWD versions of the hybrid get 9 mpg better fuel economy than their non-hybrid counterparts. Even with the hybrid's smaller fuel tank, it can travel 115 miles farther on a fill-up. However, at $4 per gallon, you'd have to drive close to 100,000 miles before you recouped the $6000 premium Lexus charges for the hybrid.
In short, dollar savings would be modest even if prices rise. For that reason, most current Hybrid buyers chose the vehicle because they want to drive the most fuel-efficient, cleanest SUV possible, one that reduces dependency on imported oil and reduces emissions. The RX 450h we drove averaged 23.4 mpg over 120 miles of mostly around-town driving. It meets California's SULEV certification and the Tier 2-Bin 3 regulations in other states, so its emissions are considered super low.
The hybrid brake system uses the same ventilated four-wheel discs as the RX 350, but has an electronically controlled regenerative brake feature that charges the batteries when the brakes are applied gently. The hybrid system includes ABS, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist and more important, Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system (VDIM) as standard equipment. We've experienced VDIM in controlled settings and consider it a remarkable safety system.
The driver can switch from the Normal driving mode to Eco for best mileage, or to the EV Mode which allows the vehicle to operate on battery only. Lexus tech sources estimate the EV-only mode operating distance at about a mile. The EV feature is aimed at allowing the RX to be used as an electric car in closed urban areas where internal combustion engines are banned altogether, such as in parts of some European cities. New for 2013 is a Sport mode with revised steering effort, throttle mapping and transmission-shifting priorities. Background lighting inside the instrument binnacle switches from blue to red with the Sport mode is engaged.
We haven't driven an RX F Sport. According to Lexus, the F Sport delivers a more engaging driving experience via its 8-speed paddle-shift transmission, 19-inch wheels with V-rated tires, firmer springs and shocks, and some structural reinforcement at the rear. The chassis formula sounds similar to the 2012 Sport Package, which did not impress us. Bigger wheels, thinner tires and tighter damping tend to compromise Lexus ride quality and noise control, without delivering all that much gain in handling. And Lexus doesn't promise any faster acceleration with the 8-speed transmission, although EPA-estimated fuel use is improved slightly, to 18/26 mpg City/Highway vs. 18/24 mpg with the standard 6-speed automatic. Choosing the F Sport is now the only way to get the terrific VDIM system on the non-hybrid model.
The Lexus RX is exceptionally quiet and sumptuously comfortable. It boasts a long list of safety features, and its electronic accessories are at once entertaining, sophisticated and user-friendly. The RX 350 is a good choice for people who don't tow or need to move more than five people at a time. The RX 450h offers all that, plus the greater fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness of a hybrid.
