...Remanufacturing is such a money spinner because of the low cost of the materials and energy it uses. Materials represent 70% of costs for a new product, but only 40% for a remanufactured one. And because there's less casting and smelting, a particularly power-hungry aspect of production processes, energy costs are up to 85% lower than in manufacturing new products. Consumers benefit, too. Remanufactured goods are equal in quality to new ones, but they're often 50-60% cheaper...
...have decided that aged rum is a statement about their generation," says Olly Wehring, executive editor of the London-based Just-Drinks report. "Cognacs and aged whiskeys are what their parents drank." David Longfield, an editor at Drinks International in London, agrees. Aged rum "has a hip, even naughty aspect that Cognac tends to lack." Matusalem (a Spanish variation of Methuselah), for instance, uses a recipe smuggled out of Cuba after the 1959 revolution.

...Kevin Durant: Obviously my strength, my defense. I'm not trying to pinpoint one aspect of my game more than another, I'm nowhere near where I want to be. But who is really ready, besides LeBron James, coming out of high school or college...
...most rewarding aspect of this experience is meeting other Connecticut Republicans, who actually exist outside of my cubicle. On a trip to the State Capitol, I met Representative John Harkins, who fumed over Democrats’ attempt to offer instate college tuition to illegal immigrants; but not to their legal counterparts. At a brunch in Waterbury, I heard Congressman Murphy’s challenger, State Senator David Cappiello, slam a Democratic State Senator’s naive remark that the only reason businesses were leaving Connecticut was because they wanted to make money. In my native Manchester, I helped...
