• Rx for HEMS: Faster and lower

  Mark Huber Medical & Allied Healthcare

  ​How low can you go? (And live.) That has been the perpetual question as the FAA continues to work with the helicopter EMS industry to develop low-altitude infrastructure in the national airspace system, including better weather-reporting tools, low-altitude routes and point-in-space (Pins) instrument approaches.

• America’s hidden fuel: How does the US stack up on energy efficiency?

  Lucy Wallwork Natural Resources

  The rapid ramping up of oil and gas production is only half the story in North America's transformed energy security outlook. The other half is energy efficiency, dubbed the "hidden fuel" by industry watchers. In the past, the "gas-guzzling" U.S. was criticized by its European counterparts for its addiction to SUVs and a poor record on energy efficiency, but recent years have seen something of a turnaround. Concerns still remain that the realities of lobby politics and downward pressure on domestic gas prices could set this impressive progress into reverse.

• ​The everyman Porsche: Cayenne

  David Mathews Recreation & Leisure

  Ten days and 748 miles ago, I bought a brand new 2014 Porsche Cayenne. This one is third in our Cayenne continuum, an SUV lineage that is pure Porsche, save two ill-conceived and misbegotten vehicles that I immediately shed. This Cayenne is diesel-powered. It provides an appealing, yet quirky practicality. I am liking it more with each passing mile and with each passing service station. To date, my mileage is 30.8 mpg. My infatuation is about more than fuel economy, however.

  Andrew Gaved Construction & Building Materials

  As the precise details of the forthcoming EU F-gas regulations are currently being hammered out in Brussels, many in the European refrigeration and air conditioning industry are bracing themselves for significant new cost to be added to the supply chain. The European Parliament has made plain its desire to effectively "penalize" those who use HFCs, by charging an allocation fee for production of the refrigerants.

• Homework is vital for a good bus tour

  Mark Hewitt Travel, Hospitality & Event Management

  Part of my role with my company is to train the new drivers in how to drive a motorcoach. A lot of them come in saying it is only a bigger version of the school bus, and it can't be that different. Shortly after that, I introduce the concept of "homework" to them and watch their faces fall. Homework is a vital part of the preparation for driving a trip. Without it, you will have no idea where you are going and what to expect when you get there.

  Herb Meyer Sports & Fitness

  I played college football in the mid-1950s when you had to play on both sides of the ball, and I played in a single-wing offense which was pretty physical. Back then, you couldn't use your hands to block, you had to hit people.
