...saved annually worldwide by remanufacturing is 14 million tons, according to a University of Bayreuth study, or enough to fill 230,000 railroad cars - that's a train 1,860 miles (3,000 km) long. And while current European Union regulations dictate that only 15% of an auto can wind up in a scrapyard, that percentage will drop to 5% in 2015 - a requirement that should boost the industry's growth, since remanufacturers need a steady supply of broken-down goods for the process to work efficiently...
...Until around 1900, golf was inhibited by Man's fundamental distrust of flight. Golfers believed that the walking game must also be terrestrial, and the best shots were hit low to the ground. This was particularly true in wind-battered Carnoustie, where nothing in the air is safe. In this part of Scotland, where golf has been played since the 1500s, even breeze-hardened seagulls are swept across fairways like errantly sliced golf balls. But the course, with par fours frequently stretching in excess of 450 yds. (411 m), proved too long for the standard earthbound strategy. That...
...practical effect. Church progressives, and indeed some conservatives, are asking why Benedict went out of his way to reopen a hot-button issue that, for the vast majority of Catholics, has long been settled.

Still, on a more substantive level, Benedict's real long-term objective may be a sort of "counter-reform" of the alternative practices of the new Mass rather than a widespread return to the old one. He says the Vatican II reform "was understood...
...surrounding the forecasters and Proenza, who this year replaced the avuncular Max Mayfield as the Hurricane Center's chief, doesn't look likely to lose strength any time soon. At the heart of the dispute is an aging weather satellite, known as QuickScat, named for the scatterometer that measures wind speed and direction. Proenza has argued for months that QuickScat, which was launched in 1999 and is well past its lifespan, needs to be replaced as soon as possible. And he has publicly criticized his bosses at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for not acting quickly enough. If QuickScat...
