Back when we first developed the hydraulic hybrid sports car, the automotive market was in great upheaval (think GM bankruptcy) and we found ourselves at a crossroads. We knew that if we could get the car to market we could certainly sell a 100 MPG sports sedan, however the cost of getting to market would be well over $2 million (Tesla found that number to be closer to $2 billion), mostly due to regulatory compliance and testing. While we never proved that the hydraulic hybrid sports car could get 100 MPG, we have proved that our hydraulic hybrid is right for trucks and buses in start-stop drive cycles.
Lightning Hybrids' hydraulic hybrid technology is one of many approaches to lowering fossil fuel use and decreasing harmful emissions. As the engineering.com article points out, different technologies and fuel types will have various success rates in different vehicle types, drive cycles, and other variables.
Lightning Hybrids' hydraulic system is designed for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, with a GVW from 10,000 to 35,000 pounds. For these large, heavy vehicles, hydraulic components work very well, delivering strong fuel savings, emissions reductions and brake component savings, as well as improved acceleration which is appreciated by the drivers.
Electric hybrids, either battery- or capacitor-based, are not successful in this vehicle weight range, primarily because electrical components do not have the high "power density" that hydraulics can provide. Power density is a measure of the rate at which energy can be absorbed into and delivered from a storage system, and therefore of how much of the vehicle's motion energy can be captured during a braking event and deployed when accelerating the vehicle. A heavy vehicle decelerating has a lot of kinetic energy to shed in the space of a few seconds, and a hydraulic hybrid will capture more than 70 percent of that braking energy due to the simple mechanics of hydraulic energy storage which functions much as a spring does. Batteries can only capture 30 percent of the braking energy because of the it simply takes more time for the chemical reactions to occur. In order to achieve with batteries what a the hydraulic hybrid does with hydraulic accumulators, such a large number of batteries would be required that weight and cost would become prohibitive. Even with future improvements to battery and capacitor technologies, we do not foresee prices coming down to anything close to where our hydraulic solution is priced.
Conversely, as we consider cars and light trucks, we see the advantages of electric and battery hybrid technologies over the hydraulic hybrid. Many of our team members drive Prius and Volts and even a Tesla. We're happy to focus our efforts on providing a system that helps heavy truck and bus fleets reduce their fuel consumption and lower emissions.
With that in mind we have put together an updated list of grants and incentives that are currently available for the Lightning Hybrids system. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list and that these opportunities are subject to change without notice.
Have questions? Need help with your proposal? Please let us know – we would be happy to assist you. Is your state not on the list? Still looking for other ways to fund your hydraulic hybrid purchase? Consider a lease of the system that can get you to an ROI in month one. Contact us – we have options and ideas that can help you.
We did this to get certified results to quantify the emissions reductions that our hybrid solution delivers to truck and bus fleets, proving a key value of the system, along with fuel and brake savings. (You can read the full report here.)
By design, many hybrid drive systems provide benefits during a vehicle's braking and subsequent acceleration phases, so not all drive cycles will take equal advantage of the system. For example, an urban delivery truck which stops many times per mile will benefit strongly, whereas a truck that spends most of its time on the highway would not be a good candidate for regenerative braking hybridization.
With this in mind, SGS tested the LH systems according to documented standard drive cycles which are accepted for regulatory certification and which are representative of city drive cycles:
Both drive cycles were based on city bus routes, and define the speeds and times, including idling, that are reproduced during testing on the dynamometer at SGS.
The vehicle, a 2010 GMC 3500/4500 Savana Cutaway with a GM 6.0 liter gasoline V8 engine, was placed on SGS's dynamometer and driven on the Orange County and Braunschweig drive cycles. The vehicle was loaded with a concrete dummy load to bring the weight up to 10,800 lbs. Exhaust gases were captured in order to measure the vehicle's emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxides (NOX), both of which are criteria pollutants which are written into United States EPA regulations on air quality, and into equivalent European Union legislation.
Baseline comparisons
You may remember that our previous testing at SGS provided two sets of baseline results which we use for comparison to allow the improvements provided by the hybrid system to be quantified. These sets of results are:
On both drive cycles, the hydraulic hybrid's most dramatic improvement is the reduction of nitrogen oxides, or NOX, emissions. Results for the gasoline vehicle show a 50% (or slightly greater) reduction in NOX with the hybrid system on. A key contributor to air pollution and smog, NOX reduction is significant for cities, states and nations that are working to meet air quality targets.
The results become even more dramatic when comparing these gasoline results against the equivalent diesel vehicle. Take a look at this chart:
The gasoline-powered truck with the Lightning Hybrids hydraulic system emitted just 5% of the NOX emitted by the conventional diesel vehicle. This is especially interesting to European fleets, who are concerned that new emissions regulations will make diesel vehicles difficult to justify.
In many cases, diesel trucks are chosen over gasoline for their greater low-end torque. However, the Lightning Hybrids hydraulic system delivers additional power during acceleration from a stand-still, which means that a hybridized gasoline-powered vehicle has advantages of both very low NOX emissions and great power for acceleration.
The benefits of the hydraulic hybrid system extend to fuel savings and corresponding reductions in carbon dioxide, or CO2, emissions with results that show 14-15% reduction in CO2 emissions for both cycles, and a corresponding fuel economy improvement of about 18%.
Fuel use and CO2 emissions are closely correlated, so an improvement in fuel economy will show an similar reduction in CO2 emissions. As noted above, these tests are preformed in a laboratory. Therefore while they are appropriate for testing, we have found that the do not correlate precisely with our customers' real-world drive cycles. Our customers in urban delivery and bus routes report over 30% fuel savings (so we can assume the parallel 30% CO2 savings as well).
Not every hybrid technology is capable of these levels of emissions savings, especially in urban delivery and transit bus drive cycles. Lightning Hybrids' hydraulic drive system provides intense torque (up to 850 ft-lb) for acceleration, a time when emissions are generally at a peak. This allows us to achieve higher reductions in criteria pollutants than battery or ultra-capacitor based hybrid designs.
At the first hybrid technology developer to focus primarily on emissions for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, these results prove Lightning Hybrids hydraulic drive system is a clear winner.

Smog is a white or brown haze or fog which envelopes many cities, especially those with heavy vehicular traffic and a large industrial sector. Local weather conditions and topography can also contribute to smog: cities which are ringed by mountains, and which are subject to temperature inversions are likely to see smog more frequently. Examples are many Chinese cities, New Delhi, Denver, Mexico City and Los Angeles. (And, apparently, Paris.)
Probably the primary harmful component of smog is ground-level ozone. Ozone, which is a variant of oxygen gas, became famous about 30 years ago due to the appearance of a "hole in the ozone layer" in the upper atmosphere. At that altitude, ozone is a beneficial because it protects the ground from harmful ultra-violet radiation from the sun. However, ozone at ground level is a different matter, as it's harmful to health, especially as an irritant to the human respiratory system. Short term exposure can irritate eyes and throat and trigger asthma attacks in sufferers. Long term exposure may cause permanent damage to lung tissue.
Ground-level ozone is generated by the sunlight-powered interaction of two classes of pollutants: nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as benzene and its derivatives. NOX is a by-product of the combustion of fossil fuels, with gasoline and diesel engines being the primary source in the United States. Volatile organic compounds come from solvents, consumer products and – you guessed it – petroleum fuels. Motor vehicles are about level with industrial processes as a source of VOCs in the USA. However you look at it, fossil fuel vehicles are a major contributor to ground-level ozone.
Another major harmful component of smog is "particulate matter" (PM). Characterized by particle size in microns, PM10 (10 micron) and PM2.5 (2.5 micron) concentrations are major pollutants. PM2.5's effects on health are related to the body's respiratory and cardiovascular systems and have been shown to lead to increased mortality, with hospitalizations and deaths spiking during particularly heavy smog incidences. Long term exposure is also detrimental to health. PM2.5 is typically generated by the burning of coal and in industrial processes such as steel manufacture; but it is also a by-product of automotive diesel use. Diesel vehicles in North America and Europe are equipped with particulate filters which dramatically reduce PM2.5 emissions; but many or most diesel trucks in India and China lack filters, in which case truck-generated PM2.5 becomes a major contributor to smog.
Sulfur dioxide, another component of smog, is the result of burning fossil fuels with a high sulfur content. Although a component of smog, sulfur dioxide's effects can be felt further afield, with results such as acid rain and atmospheric aerosols, which can contribute to climate change. Locally, sulfur dioxide is a harmful irritant to the respiratory system. The adoption of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel in developed countries has reduced the incidence of SO2 pollution, however it remains severe in China and India where low-grade coal and high sulfur content diesel are burnt.
Thankfully, lead has been removed from gasoline and is no longer a significant automotive pollutant. However, this article makes thought-provoking reading.
Smog's primary detrimental impact is on human health, though it also contributes to environmental degradation. Respiratory irritation can become serious for people already suffering from respiratory conditions, and long-term exposure can produce permanent damage to lungs, heart and other organs. An ongoing air-pollution study by the University of Southern California correlated exposure to smog to stunted lung development in children, and it found that children growing up in polluted areas are more likely to develop asthma. Not exactly any surprises there, but recent analysis in the study found that children's lung development improved as air quality in the study area got better in the past 20 years.
Smog is a major problem around the world, but the good news is that it, and the damage it causes to human health are reversible. Increased awareness and a great effort to decrease smog are underway. And what, you may ask, can Lightning Hybrids do to help?
Internal combustion engines pollute most heavily during acceleration. Not only is this phase inefficient (high engine load, low revs, and low distance traveled), but it is the phase during which diesel engines generate most PM2.5 particles, and NOX gas too. The beauty of Lightning Hybrids' hydraulic hybrid system is that vehicles accelerate using hydraulic energy stored during the previous braking event, which has no fume exhaust whatsoever. This releases the vehicle's engine from the task of propelling the vehicle during this most inefficient and dirtiest phase. Indeed, diesel trucks which can be expected to emit a visible cloud of (PM) smoke when accelerating typically do not do this when launched hydraulically. This is even true for the dirtiest, filter-lacking vehicles one finds in, say, Africa.
As you may have read in another recent post (here), Lightning Hybrids has worked with a third party emissions testing facility for accurate characterization of the beneficial effect on emissions of the hydraulic hybrid, and it is typical to see a 50% reduction in NOX emissions when comparing non-converted with converted vehicles. Of course, these (and other) benefits are seen most strongly for trucks and buses which exhibit a heavy stop-start drive cycle.
The recent smog event in Paris showed that even with modern pollution mitigation there is still a long way to go before we have reliably clean air. Until then, people will suffer health effects and compromised lifestyles. We think that doctors should start prescribing Lightning Hybrids conversions right away.
China's problems with pollution have been increasingly visible in the news, to the point where China's government has declared that environmental policies are now a national priority. The investment in full-electric buses is a part of this strategy, but one that's turning sour.
The full extent of China's problems with pollution was brought to the world's attention recently by Chai Jing's documentary, "Under The Dome", which was subsequently suppressed by the Chinese government after going viral in China. An investigative journalist, Chai revealed the scale of China's pollution and the corruption that renders environmental enforcement agencies powerless. One of the key areas highlighted by Chai is the use of low-quality coal for electrical power generation in power stations with no pollution mitigation systems. Even though China has recently imposed restrictions on the burning of "dirty coal", electrical power stations are, amazingly, exempt. These power stations are the primary contributor to China's widespread smog. In China, electricity is anything but clean.
On the face of it, full-electric buses appear to be a good bet for the environment. After all, they are zero emissions vehicles, at least on the road. However, the benefits end there and are overwhelmed by the negative aspects.
Any reasoned assessment of energy and emissions must take into account the full chain of production from the ground to the wheels, or in other words, tracking the impact of mining and transporting the coal, burning it in the power stations, energy conversion to electricity and the cost of building and maintaining the infrastructure needed to operate the vehicles. Full-electric vehicles in China do not come out well when assessed in this way. Just because the vehicle itself is not emitting pollutants does not mean that it's clean in aggregate.
But problems with full-electric vehicle technology do not end at the power station. In order to deliver that electricity to China's city bus fleets (there are an estimated 83,000 full-electric buses operating now or in the near future in China), the required infrastructure is extremely expensive. Wang Zedong, an official in charge of China's power vehicle test center, complains, "Just building charging stations [for Beijing's buses] cost at least 60 million yuan [$10M USD]. How can a city bear such an expense?"
And the batteries themselves leave a lot to be desired when it comes to operating the buses, according to the article. They are unreliable, leading to customer complaints when buses don't show up; they require charging several times a day, which represents a significant downtime (5 hours, per the specs), and they have short lifetimes, typically lasting no more than 2,000 charging cycles before needing to be replaced.
And that's another problem: batteries are extremely expensive, running to tens of thousands of dollars or more. Amazingly, in many cases, buses with expired batteries are simply "set aside".
Add to that the facts that batteries can overheat and catch fire, and that they are difficult to dispose of in an environmentally responsible way, and we see that full (or hybrid) electric vehicles are not fulfilling their promise in the medium and heavy duty space.
It turns out, though, that China's conventional fuel vehicles aren't much better. Diesel trucks and buses are China's main source of PM2.5 pollutants, which are health-threatening particulate emissions. According to Chai Jing's investigations, China's environmental regulations are not being observed or enforced. Vehicles which are certified as compliant with emissions standards are in fact nothing of the kind: manufacturers save money by not installing particulate filters and other pollution mitigations. The certificate sticker on the vehicle is bogus.
Lightning Hybrids' investment in hydraulic hybrid technology doesn't solve all operational and environmental problems at a stroke. However, China's problem with electric buses is proof that electric batteries are a poor solution for medium and heavy duty vehicles and serves to highlight the advantages of hydraulic energy storage: no costly infrastructure, cheap and light storage devices, low maintenance costs, zero operational downtime, no fire risk, long lifetimes and superior regenerative energy efficiency. And with the ability to reduce emissions by up to 50%, Lightning Hybrids' system contributes to cleaner air too.
We would encourage governments and fleet operators worldwide to watch China's experiment closely. The allure of full-electric isn't always the answer.
"This partnership with Kiessling Transit is a significant milestone for Lightning Hybrids and a testament to the success and benefits of our system in providing a cost-effective and elegant solution for large fleets," said Tim Reeser, president and co-founder, Lightning Hybrids. "Kiessling Transit is an innovative, early adopter and was one of the first customers to trial our technology for over a year. Their positive experience and attractive results during the pilot program lead to this substantial follow-on order. This program will demonstrate that it's possible today to make existing fleet vehicles significantly cleaner and more efficient with a high-tech, computer controlled system built on proven and sustainable hydraulic technology."
When put in service, the buses will provide an immediate positive impact on the environment due to the reduced emissions of the system. For example, vehicles with Lightning Hybrids' technology produce half of the NOx emissions and 30 percent less CO2 emissions, compared to vehicles without the company's system. In addition to these emissions reductions, the Kiessling fleet will see decreased fuel use, longer brake life, better low-end torque, and lower maintenance and operational costs.
Launching the hybrid fleet in Massachusetts
Kiessling Transit purchased a pilot vehicle equipped with the hybrid system through Lightning Hybrids' Boston-based dealer, National Fleet Hybrids, in 2013. The pilot vehicle's fuel consumption was closely monitored during the pilot program. The results, logged through Lightning Hybrids' telematics systems and confirmed through Kiessling's fuel logs, revealed a 30% improvement in fuel economy and emissions. Driver feedback also confirmed vehicle performance benefits. Kiessling Transit will use the hybrid vehicles to transport primarily urban-area Massachusetts residents with disabilities. The company is based in Norfolk, Massachusetts, and currently contracts with regional transit authorities, state agencies and local municipalities to transport passengers throughout the state.
"Kiessling Transit is excited to incorporate vehicles with Lightning Hybrids' technology into our fleet. We are pleased with the results of the pilot program, which proved a fuel economy gain of around 30 percent all year, and we look forward to seeing the positive results continue on a much larger scale," said Roger Kiessling, chief operations officer, Kiessling Transit. "Our company is focused on providing the most efficient, reliable, environmentally friendly transportation to the areas we serve, and the Lightning Hybrids system supports this goal."
Lightning Hybrids announced the Kiessling Transit agreement at a press conference today during the National Truck Equipment Association's Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, where a walk-in van equipped with the Lightning Hybrids system participated in the Green Truck Ride-and-Drive.
In August of this year, Lightning Hybrids acquired and installed a dynamometer custom-designed for our system (not to be confused with the chassis dyno used for emissions tests). When we connect our system to this machine we can test nearly any aspect of the system with essentially unlimited data acquisition capabilities and without being constrained by vehicle mounting and drivability.
In our case, we mount our hydraulic system to a driveshaft that interfaces with a water brake and then an electric rotor. As the system runs through cycles, the water brake applies a load to the driveshaft, which simulates friction from the road to the wheels, as a tachometer records RPM and the rotor measures the axial forces.
Its basic operation is the same as an engine dynamometer – common in the automotive industry – that controls the inputs and measures the power output from any generic engine. Similarly, our dynamometer controls the inputs and measures the outputs, but it is designed specifically to drive a standalone LH hydraulic hybrid system. This allows us to test nearly any aspect of the system with essentially unlimited data acquisition capabilities and without being constrained by vehicle mounting and drivability.
This dyno will be used for three types of testing: acceptance, development, and reliability testing. Several of our hydraulic systems have already completed rounds of acceptance testing, where we run the system on the dyno for a specified amount of time or equivalent distance and verify operability. Compared to on-vehicle acceptance testing, the dyno allows us to periodically check for and assess any fluid leaks before costly installation, wear in all the components with engineering-specified system inputs, and "drive" the system on a predefined route for much longer daily durations than are feasible for a vehicle driver. Along with running the tests faster, we can make vehicle-specific tweaks to the system more quickly.
The development testing is an exploratory role of the dyno for system prototypes. The flexibility of the dyno means that the system inputs can be anything the engineers deem pertinent. Development testing can identify issues before costly vehicle integration or direct a redesign before resources are spent on refining the prototype. It also can allow quick turnaround for iterations to the control system.
Reliability testing is a category LH has not yet been able to perform at the system level. For the first time, we can monitor component interactions and their effect on reliability throughout the lifespan of a system. With end-of-life considerations, we can even safely take the full system to failure. System failure on the dyno will have no environmental impact, we have a controlled environment for easier failure analysis, and failures are contained for easy repair.
To achieve reduced emissions and fuel economy gains, Lightning Hybrids applies a hydraulic system to the driveline of a vehicle to regenerate braking energy, which is stored and used for the next acceleration. The system, which does not have electric batteries, uses this otherwise wasted energy for acceleration, supplementing power from the internal combustion engine to reduce fuel costs for fleet owners and greatly cut emissions. The company's system decreases emission of nitrogen oxides, the key ingredient in harmful smog, by up to 90 percent and enhances fuel efficiency by 30 percent. Additionally, the hybrid system dramatically lengthens brake life and the increased low-end torque improves acceleration.
"Lightning Hybrids is providing the heavy-duty marketplace with the hybrid technology needed to transform fleets to more environmentally friendly operations, while reducing operating costs associated with fuel and maintenance," said Dave Brosky, vice president of sales, Lightning Hybrids. "We are excited to participate in the South Shore Clean Cities event and demonstrate the integral role hybrid systems will play in the quest to enhance work truck efficiency."
As fleet owners continue to seek cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles like hybrids, incentive programs are beginning to play a vital role in supporting this transition. Lightning Hybrids' system installed on the Ford F59 is eligible for Drive Clean Chicago's "Drive Clean Truck" voucher program, which provides incentives to help shift diesel fleets in the Chicago area to zero- and low-emission vehicles. Through the voucher program, fleet owners that operate Class 2 to Class 8 trucks can apply for vouchers for $30,000 and up, or 80 percent of the incremental cost, to retrofit existing fleets. Additional states that offer grants and funding for Lightning Hybrids' systems include Colorado, Maryland and Massachusetts, among others.
One business that recently integrated a Ford F59 into its fleet is AmeriPride Services Inc., a leading North American uniform and linen supply company, and this is the first hydraulic hybrid in the organization's fleet of approximately 1,900 vehicles. Lightning Hybrids partnered with Morgan Olson, an industry leader in customizing walk-in vans, to incorporate its hybrid system into the Ford F59 chassis and additional details about this partnership can be found here.
South Shore Clean Cities is a U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored nonprofit organization focused on advancing the use of alternative fuels and vehicles to improve air quality, develop regional economic opportunities and reduce the use of imported oil. At this year's annual meeting, Lightning Hybrids will participate in the ride-and-drive with a Ford F59, owned by its event partner, Auto Park Fleet, a dealer that specializes in supplying delivery vehicles nationwide. The South Shore Clean Cities annual meeting is scheduled at Avalon Manor in Merrillville, Indiana, from 10:30 a.m.–2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 17. Registration details can be found on its website, southshorecleancities.org.
In addition to the South Shore Clean Cities event, the company will showcase the Ford F59 hybrid at the upcoming National Truck Equipment Association's annual Work Truck Show in Indianapolis from March 4-6. Lightning Hybrids will participate in the Green Truck Ride-and-Drive with the Ford F59, as well as host a press conference in booth 2411 on Thursday, March 5, 1:25-1:55 p.m. The Work Truck Show features the latest products for Class 1-8 vocational trucks and equipment, and offers intensive programs on hybrid vehicles, alternative fuels, truck upfitting, specification writing and fleet productivity.
"This patent award illustrates not only our innovation, but also our efforts to find new opportunities in an area historically dominated by large companies," said Tim Reeser, Lightning Hybrids president and co-founder. "It separates us from the crowd of others who have worked on previous hybrid technologies and clearly establishes Lightning Hybrids as the international leader and innovator in the hydraulic hybrid space."
The patent, specifically for a "hydraulic regeneration apparatus," was awarded Jan. 21, 2015. The regeneration apparatus or hybrid system, which the patent grants exclusive rights and inventor status to Lightning Hybrids, uses hydraulic pumps and accumulators to capture braking energy and regenerate it for accelerating a vehicle.
Dan Johnson, Lightning Hybrids co-founder and CTO who co-invented the new patented system with senior controls engineer, Jonathan Reynolds, said the new patent built on previous generations and focused on making the system more efficient.
"Eliminating a lot of the parts in the system was a big goal," Johnson said. "By doing that, we were able to dramatically increase the efficiencies of the system. The higher the efficiency, the more we can decrease emissions and increase fuel savings."
Johnson said a primary goal for the new patent was making the system lighter by using more aluminum in its construction and by having fewer parts. "Fewer parts means a significant cost savings, and a lighter system means higher efficiency overall. It means fleets are able to have a higher payload, allowing them to effectually do the work they're on the road to do in a cleaner, more efficient way."
Reaching the fourth generation of Lightning Hybrids' parallel hybrid system was the result of six years of work. Reynolds said the project was an engineering venture. "Designing any system from the ground up is challenging," he said. "This hydraulic hybrid system was particularly perplexing because we had to create so many of the building blocks. Several parts in our system did not exist before – at least not in the form we needed. Lightning Hybrids has faced many challenges and met them with successful engineering solutions."
Reynolds said new manufacturing processes were instrumental in achieving Lightning Hybrids' patent goal. "Advanced manufacturing technologies helped us iterate our designs quickly to get to a finished product," he said. "We have utilized 3D printing, 3D scanning, CNC machining, carbon fiber manufacturing, thermal imaging and in-house PCB etching – all of which have helped us make some great breakthroughs, but real progress primarily comes from being dedicated to innovate."
Lightning Hybrids' system provides 50 to 90 percent reduction in harmful emissions as well as fuel efficiency gains by regenerating braking energy. The Lightning Hybrids system does not have batteries. Instead, it safely and efficiently stores energy mechanically in composite hydraulic accumulators, which are a fraction of the cost and weight of batteries.
The company said it has filed for international patent protection for the system and expects it to be awarded yet this year.

With the world-wide asthma and lung cancer epidemic, I am happy to see a study focused on air quality and its impact on human health rather than the climate change discussion. This study is one of only a few published reports to take a holistic well-to-wheels approach to transportation and fuels, rather than the short-sighted and incomplete tailpipe-only assumption of many of the other reports. Well-to-wheel studies account for the impact of the entire life cycle of a vehicle, including manufacturing of the vehicle and its power-components (i.e. engine, motors, and battery), where the energy originates and how that energy is transported to the vehicle. Here are a few things that I extracted from the report:
A million dollars a day: this is what just one of the package delivery companies is saving in fuel due to the present low fuel prices. In fact, large fleets are saving $10 to $30 per day per vehicle in fuel, compared with what they were paying just two months ago. While this doesn't sound like much, when you multiply it by the number of vehicles large fleets run every day – UPS alone has 101,000 delivery vehicles – it amounts to nearly $30M in savings for the holiday season alone. And if fuel prices continue in this trend, one company alone could experience over $200M in fuel cost savings for the year.
Every time I pass a gas station, I get a knot in my stomach because I feel manipulated. And I know that American transportation fleets are being manipulated. Manipulated into thinking and investing based on temporary bargain basement fuel prices. Manipulated into taking our eye off of the goal of reducing the impact of fleet trucks and buses on human health.
The opportunity presented by these low oil prices is tremendous: we can take this savings and spend it on emissions and fuel reduction technologies that will make a large impact on air quality as well as future profitability. Or we can bow to the manipulation and spend the savings on current dividends and bonuses, all while sacrificing future profits and leaving the health costs of coal emissions for future generations to cope with.
Middle-Eastern sources have admitted to maintaining oil production to suppress prices temporarily in hopes of forcing U.S. drillers to stop drilling since most U.S. drillers are now losing money at the current price of oil. Once the higher-priced U.S. wells stop producing, the prices will go back up. And when the dollar falls again as we end quantitative easing, the prices will go up further. The last 20 years of history has proven that these are not hypothetical scenarios, but rather inevitable outcomes of the economic cycle. Fuel prices will go back up, and when they do, what will we have to show for all the money saved during this boom time? Instead of being manipulated into building business around the assumption that fuel prices will remain low, fleets should take the savings and make investments. Here is my list of not-necessarily-politically-correct investments that fleets and the US government need to make:
I encourage you to read the report that sparked my musings. In addition, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Please feel free to comment below and I will respond.

by Libby Anne cross posted from her blog Love Joy FeminismCreated To Be His Help Meet, pp. 94-98Debi starts off this section by discussing the 1989 movie Dad. I haven't seen it so I have only the wikipedia summary to go off of. Basically, a busy young executive is called home to help his ailing parents, and he ends up helping his dad, who had been growing senile, live more fully and learns to live more fully himself in the process. Upon waking up from a coma, the father suffers delusions that he spent his life on a dairy farm, rather than as an aerospace industry worker, and keeps speaking of people who never existed. … [Read more...]

Quoting Quiverfull: Giving Our Daughters to the Imperfect?
by Vaughn Ohlman of True Love Doesn't Wait - Giving our daughters to imperfect young men As harsh and unfeeling as it sounds to our ears, a daughter is not seen in Scripture as a rose to be hidden under glass, but a gift to be given. Her fruitfulness is frequently mentioned, her delicate sensibilities less so. She is seen as at her best when rising to a difficult task, not when tenderly sheltered. And the entire focus of Scripture is not on her father, but on her husband. How then can it be the role of that father to refuse to give her to that husband? … [Read more...]

Baby Morph Episode YKTTW Discussion
|Baby Morph Episode
An episode of a show where one or more of the characters is turned into a baby
Sometimes, in an animated series, an episode will come along where, through some means, one or more than one of the characters is transformed into an infant, requiring their friends to find a way to turn them back. Often overlaps with Parents for a Day.
Examples Include:Comic Book
- Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane
- In Issue #10◊, Lois is changed into a baby. And she's still a baby at the end of the story!◊
- In Issue #33◊, Lois turns the tables on Superman when he becomes a baby.
- And it happened to Superman yet again in Issue #57◊.
- Royal Pain's evil plan from Sky High involves this.
- Egon is slowly transformed into a baby in The Real Ghostbusters episode "Three Men and an Egon".
- An episode of Donkey Kong Country had Donkey Kong become Baby Kong after drinking one of Cranky's potions.
- An episode of Monsters vs. Aliens had the President become a baby after being hit with Dr. Cockroach's Youth Ray.
- Princess Toadstool became a baby in an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show after falling into the Fountain of Youth.
- Jimmy Neutron accidentally transformed his own grandmother into a baby in one of the earlier episodes.
- In the Justice League Unlimited episode "Kid Stuff", Morgaine le Fey transforms Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern into 8-year-olds after Mordred uses his magic to remove all adults from Earth and keep children on the Earth.
- The Futurama episode "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles" features the Planet Express crew grow younger after falling into a pit of rejuvenating tar.
- One episode of Spongebob Squarepants featured Plankton turning everyone into babies to steal the Krabby Patty formula.
- There's an episode of the Lilo & Stitch: The Series cartoon series that featured an experiment that did this, transforming all of Lilo's family into babies. Once that was reversed, she sent the experiment to the animal shelter where she first adopted Stitch so it could make older dogs young again and more likely to be adopted.
- Dexter's Laboratory. Dexter accidentally turns his parents into babies after creating a machine that was supposed to age up Dexter and Deedee.
- The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode "Goofy Baby" involves Professor Ludwig von Drake's invention turning Goofy into baby and the rest of the cast looking after him. The Sequel Episode "Goofy Babysitter" reversed the roles — now it's Goofy trying to look after his transformed friends.

STRAIGHT TALK ON Estate Planning for Gay and Lesbian Couples BY KATHIE J. GUMMERE & MICHAEL J. TUCKER Kathie J. Gummere: ARIZONA ATTORNEY has asked me to submit an article on sex. The editors seemed to think that this topic would pique the interest of the readership. Michael J. Tucker: A revolutionary approach. Kathie: Yes. I thought I would focus on estate planning for gay and lesbian couples. Want to help? Michael: Sure. But they probably won't want to print it. Kathie: Don't be silly. ARIZONA ATTORNEY is committed to raising awareness among attorneys about corners of law practice that people haven't necessarily thought about. Michael: Oh, well, why didn't you say so? When it comes to unmarried couples, there's definitely a lot about estate planning that lawyers may not have considered. Kathie: You said unmarried couples. But I want to talk about gay and lesbian couples. Michael: From a legal standpoint, there is typically no difference between the relationship of a same-sex couple and the relationship of an unmarried opposite-sex 22 A R I Z O N A AT T O R N E Y J U LY/A U G U S T 2 0 0 4 couple. Kathie: What's the big deal about unmarried couples? Their estates can't be that complicated, can they? Michael: Well, Kathie, actually, more planning is needed for unmarried couples, because they can't take advantage of the safety nets that are in the law for married couples. Kathie: Like what? Michael: The intestacy laws, for starters, not to mention guardian/conservatorships, and medical decision making. And, of course, the adoption laws. Community property law. Income tax law. You name it. The issues come up more often that you would think. These days, more people than ever are living together who are not married. Kathie: You mean there are people who are in … meretricious relationships? Michael: Don't make it sound so … well … PRURIENT. We're not talking Will and Grace here. Unmarried couples are chauffeuring their kids to soccer practice and taking care of their aging parents, just like the rest of us. Their loved ones need protection in the event that they become incapacitated, or if they die unexpectedly. Kathie: Naturally. Michael: Here's a quiz. If a married man dies without a will, who inherits? Kathie: His widow, of course. Or if it's a second marriage, then his widow and his children from the previous marriage share in the estate. Michael: Right. But what if the decedent was not married to his beloved. Who inherits? And what if he is incapacitated? Whom will the court appoint as his guardian and conservator? Kathie: I see your point. Unmarried couples don't have the automatic protections under the law that married couples enjoy. Michael: Now you're getting the idea. And unmarried couples perhaps need the legal protections more than married couples, who enjoy a kind of carte blanche in navigating through society. Kathie: What do you mean? Michael: Let's say you are incapacitated, and I go around town trying to conduct transactions on your behalf. W W W . M YA Z B A R . O R G Straight Talk on Estate Planning for Gay and Lesbian Couples Kathie: I'm not sure I like this example. Michael: Let's assume you have named me the holder of your power of attorney. Even though I have a piece of paper giving me authority to act on your behalf, I assure you that I will be greeted with suspicion at banks and title companies all over town. Kathie: Go on. Michael: But if you and I were married … Kathie: … the ceremony would be fabulous. Michael: Yes … well, and apart from that, if you and I were married, and if you were to become incapacitated, I would probably be able to handle most of your financial affairs during your incapacity, even without a power of attorney. That's carte blanche. Kathie: Inequality again. So let's talk about the intestacy laws. I take it that you are saying that unmarried couples are somehow disadvantaged by them. Michael: Well, the intestacy laws exist as a default mechanism so that there will be an established order for the distribution of estates of persons who die without having executed a will. Arizona's intestacy laws, like those of most jurisdictions, make no provision for the unmarried domestic partner of a decedent. Kathie: Isn't that the law everywhere? Michael: Things are changing. In California, a surviving domestic partner is entitled to a share of his or her deceased domestic partner's estate, even if there is no will, but only if they were registered as domestic partners with the state. Kathie: That's a lot better than inheriting nothing! Michael: Everyone should still execute a will. However, the California extension of intestacy law protections to domestic partners is a first step at giving unmarried couples the same legal safety net that married couples enjoy. Kathie: I have heard a lot about gay marriage lately. Is that what you're talking about? 24 A R I Z O N A A T T O R N E Y J U LY/A U G U S T 2 0 0 4 Michael: Massachusetts is the only U.S. state to actually legalize same-sex marriage. Various other states have had short periods of issuing marriage licenses. The legality of most of those marriages is in doubt. Portland, for instance, issued marriage licenses for a couple of months, and marriages were performed pursuant to those licenses. Although their legality has been challenged, and a trial court stopped the issuance of any more licenses, the trial judge did declare the marriages performed were legal. Of course, that decision is now up on appeal. pesky full faith and credit provision of the U.S. Constitution. This controversy should bring lots of business to family lawyers and probate litigators. Kathie: Will couples be recognized as married in one state, but not in another? What happens when a couple is legally married in their home state and then moves to a state that doesn't recognize that marriage? And how will all this affect pension plans regulated by ERISA, in light of a state-sanctioned marriage and the federal Defense of Marriage Act? And what about social security? It really does sound as if it will be messy for quite awhile. In the meantime, let's talk about adoption. Michael: Many American jurisdictions allow unmarried couples to adopt. Also fairly common are laws permitting someone to adopt his or her unmarried domestic partner's child. Some of those laws include gay and lesbian couples, while others do not. Arizona's adoption laws don't draw a distinction between straight and gay people in unmarried domestic partnerships. In Arizona, only a married couple or a single person can adopt. Kathie: Are co-parent adoptions in one state recognized in other states? Michael: Usually; however, the states are still unclear. This is another area for litigation. Good thing there are lots of lawyers looking for clients. Kathie: What about when the domestic partnership falls apart? Doesn't one of them get palimony? Michael: You refer to the Arizona progeny of the Marvin v. Marvin case. As in that case, the Arizona cases have allowed palimony-type recoveries based on a contract theory. It can be difficult to prove. It's certainly not analogous to the statutory basis for spousal maintenance in the event of the dissolution of a marriage. Kathie: Well, I hope at least it's not complicated for the former domestic partners to unravel their jointly held property. Those divorce settlements can be so unpleasant. W W W . M YA Z B A R . O R G Will couples be recognized as married in one state, but not in another? What happens when a couple is legally married in their home state and then moves to a state that doesn't recognize that marriage? Kathie: And I have heard that other countries are contemplating either full marriage or at least extension of rights to registered couples. I guess this is one area where the United States is not leading the pack. When couples are married in other states and/or countries, such as Massachusetts or Canada, it could be a legal mess when they come back to the United States or their home state, right? What will the states do then? Michael: Who knows? Some states have laws specifically stating that marriage is only recognized when it is between a man and a woman. Of course, there is that Straight Talk on Estate Planning for Gay and Lesbian Couples Michael: Actually, unraveling a domestic partnership can be just as messy. If there is real property involved, and if the joint owners can't agree on how to dispose of it, the remedy is a partition action in superior court. And proving who contributed what and when can be a nightmare. Kathie: How awful. How can that be avoided? Michael: One way for the happy couple to minimize the risk of problems is to enter into a domestic partnership agreement. Kathie: How does that help? Michael: It's kind of like the opposite of a prenuptial agreement. Kathie: And we know how popular those prenuptial agreements are. Michael: Oh, just give me a chance here. A prenuptial agreement seeks to limit, or even eliminate, the rights that marriage will confer on the prospective spouse. Kathie: Eliminate all rights? I see that you've gotten hold of a copy of my prenuptial agreement form. That's what happens when one person has lots of money and is planning on getting married in a community property state like Arizona, right? What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine. Michael: Very funny. The domestic partnership agreement is the reverse of the prenuptial agreement, because the domestic partnership agreement seeks to confer rights on the domestic partner where no such rights would otherwise exist. Kathie: So let's see if I've got this straight. Michael: Pun intended? Kathie: Of course. You're saying that the prenuptial agreement restricts the rights of the spouses in each other's property, while the domestic partnership agreement expands the rights of the domestic partners in each other's property. Michael: Exactly. Each is like a property settlement agreement that is negotiated and executed while the lovebirds are still getting along. 26 A R I Z O N A A T T O R N E Y J U LY/A U G U S T 2 0 0 4 Kathie: You're so romantic. Michael: Some people may criticize the community property laws as anachronistic or unsophisticated. At least they create a framework for the respective property interests of divorcing spouses to be divided. In the case of unmarried couples, inadvertence in how the property is titled often leads to unintended results when the property is divided. Kathie: Like what? Michael: Well, it would be typical for an unmarried couple to hold title to a home as joint tenants, even though one of them may be making the down payment, paying the monthly mortgage and paying for insurance and repairs, while the other is paying only for utilities. But as joint tenants, their rights in the property are coextensive while they hold the property. And if they terminate their relationship … Kathie: You mean, if they break up? Michael: Right. Then the partition law provides that each of them must prove up his or her contribution to the property so that the division of the proceeds of the sale of the property can be determined. Kathie: What a mess. Michael: Exactly. And that's just about the time when one of them files for bankruptcy court protection. Kathie: (wincing) Ouch! Let's talk about something else. Michael: How about taxes? Kathie: You really know how to liven up an interview. Michael: Bear with me. Unmarried couples really aren't much worse off than married couples, at least in the area of income taxes. Kathie: The IRS spares no one. Michael: Married couples get to file joint income tax returns, but the applicable tax rates are actually higher than for two unmarried persons filing separately. Kathie: Also, the laws for claiming dependents for income tax purposes do not hinge on the marital status of the taxpayer or the dependent. Michael: That's true. Just about the only income tax area that's a lot better for married couples than everyone else is the area of inheritance, pension and IRA distributions after death. Widows have a lot more flexibility and more options to postpone the payment of income taxes on inherited pension accounts and IRAs than any other beneficiary. Kathie: Many people have gotten a rude awakening when they realize the tax burden on an IRA they inherited from a domestic partner. Michael: However, being married is a boon for estate tax purposes. If you're going to leave a vast inheritance to someone, be sure to marry him or her first. Kathie: Is that because of the estate tax marital deduction? Michael: That's right. It's unlimited! Kathie: And so are the possibilities for this interview topic. But I think I had better go back to the office now and review my unmarried clients' estate plans. Michael: Let me know if I can help. After all, I answered all your questions, didn't I? Kathie J. Gummere is a sole practitioner in Phoenix who limits her practice to estate planning and government affairs and is also a registered nurse. She spends much of the legislative sessions lobbying for the Arizona Human Rights Fund on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues. Michael J. Tucker, a shareholder in the firm of Polese Pietzsch Williams & Nolan PA in Phoenix, focuses his practice on estate planning, probate and trust matters and is also a certified private fiduciary.

The Murcia region
The regional capital - Murcia City, is known as the "Baroque capitol of Spain" for its wealth of fine buildings and is a fantastic place to explore. It is shopping heaven with many up market shops and department stores. You can wander through the pedestrianised areas to beautiful squares which are just waiting to be discovered.
There is a magnificent cathedral, a beautiful monastery, gardens and parks, the list is almost endless. To explore it all would take many months.
South from Murcia the motorway takes you past the town of Alhama de Murcia with it's Moorish castle, Roman spas and beautiful church. Continue south to Totana which again has a beautiful church and an enormous market every Wednesday. Both of these small towns are on the edge of the stunning Sierra Espuna Regional Park. This area is a paradise for walkers with dedicated trails cris-crossing the mountain area which is covered in pine trees.
Los Alcazares
Roda Golf Course was designed by the internationally renowned golf architect Dave Thomas and offers the very highest standards of quality. An 18-hole, par 72 course (6,177 metres), with extensive, undulating greens and strategically placed bunkers, together with three large lakes, provide entertainment and excitement at every turn. The care and consideration we continue to take over the landscaping has resulted in the Roda Golf Course being the first course in Murcia to obtain the coveted ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification.
Los Alcázares is on the edge of the Mar Menor, with seven kilometres of beach. It is an ideal spot for water sports.
Los Alcázares is in the Region of Murcia, 24 kilometres from the town of Cartagena and just 5 kilometres from San Javier international airport. Its name is of Moorish origin, meaning palace. It comes from the holiday houses that were once built in this coastal village by the Moors. Los Alcázares is a very healthy destination, too. Try the waters of the Mar Menor, famous for their therapeutic qualities, or enjoy a thermal treatment at the La Encarnación Spa Resort, which conserves the character of old, turn-of-the-century spa centres. If you like sports, there are activities such as sailing, windsurfing and kayaking at its Marine Resort, available all year-round thanks to the warm temperatures in the region. Another good option is to visit the Torre del Rame, a Moorish fortress, or to visit the Municipal Aeronautical Museum
Los Narejos Los Alcázares
The beach is beautiful and the quality of the sand is excellent. The water is crystal-clear and ideal for water sports such as windsurfing, sailing, and scuba-diving. The beach area is full of palm trees. There are water platforms at 100 metres from the waters edge
Las Palmeras Los Alcázares
It is a beach recommended for sporting types. The buildings near the beach are recent constructions. Costa Cálida Black volcanic sand.
El Espejo Los Alcázares
It is an excellent area for water sports: kayaking, windsurfing, scuba-diving...The beach's sand is of excellent quality. It has a marina with sailing and motor boats and floating platforms.

This is the second year we have stayed at this apartment. Only a 10 minute drive to the airport and 5 minutes to the local town and amenities. The resort itself is within a secure compound which is very reassuring with regular security patrols.
The pool is fantastic, very clean and always space to lay your towel or sunbed. My step-son finally learnt to swim unaided.
The apartment is very well kept and cleaned to a high standard. We requested the baby package for our 8 month old and was pleasantly surprised with the travel cot complete with mobile and cuddly toys. The facilities in the apartment are excellent all you expect in self catering and more. We ate in alternative nights and dined at some of the many local restaurants.
There are plenty supermarkets nearby, we preferred Consum to Lidl but they are next door to each other. Plenty of choice both local and comforts of home food.
The resort is set on a golf course but I still haven't had a chance to play it, hopefully next year.
An excellent place to stay if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing family holiday.

"Excellent holiday"
This was our first time staying at Roda Golf. Found the complex to be of a high standard and very well maintained with lovely gardens throughout and several pools. We stayed here with older relatives who felt very safe in the complex due to the high levels of security within.
From the moment we booked our holiday Craig was very helpful and provided us with lots of useful information for when we arrived. He was a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much of a problem.
On arrival we were met by the apartment management who showed us to our apartment, provided a welcome pack (which we highly recommend as it saved us looking for a shop late at night) and showed us how to operate all of the amenities.
The apartments private garden was ideal for sunbathing, with the pool only a few steps away. The apartment itself is spacious with excellent facilities and is tastefully decorated. The local supermarket is just outside the complex and easy to get to.
The local town of Los Alcazares was only a five minute drive away and had plenty of places to eat and drink. We particularly enjoyed La Diva and Rosalind's Rooftop restaurants. Also nearer the complex there is an Irish bar called Campbells which has an excellent restaurant to the back, which we loved.
Overall we throughly enjoyed this holiday, it was very relaxing and look forward to booking again for next year!

"Perfect for young family, you will definitely need a car."
Great apartment and on the whole clean. Some food had been left in the cupboards by previous guests which might have been helpful had the ants not found it first! We had to buy some spray but after a good clean we didn't really see any more than the odd one, and that's only to be expected. The pool was fab and quiet, some days we had it to ourselves. Roda golf itself is sprawling yet lacks restaurants and a decent supermarket so it's advisable to hire a car and drive to the main resort centre which is literally 5 minutes away. This has plenty of shops and restaurants suitable for families with young kids.

Aldeas Verdes: How Lollapalooza Exports its Green Spirit to its South American Sister FestivalsGreen No Comments »
By Jenzo DuQue
More than twenty years after its debut as a roving summer festival, Lollapalooza lives on in its Chicago home base, attracting more than 250,000 attendees and compiling one of the most diverse line-ups in popular music. Now the festival roves in a different way, by expanding beyond the borders of Grant Park and into South America since 2011. Chile was the first to greet founder Perry Farrell, debuting the festival in the nation's capital, Santiago, followed a year later by a São Paulo, Brazil outpost. Today, Argentina prepares for its second round in Buenos Aires, to take place in spring 2015. Read the rest of this entry »
