Mr. Hatz, head of transmission and engine development at the Volkswagen Group, was suspended in September. CreditDenis Balibouse/Reuters LONDON — A few months after taking over engine development at Volkswagen in 2007, Wolfgang Hatz faced a potential challenge that he considered insurmountable. It was the State of California. Regulators there were seeking to limit global warming gases released by automobiles, a step never directly taken before in the United States. “We can do quite a bit and we will do a bit, but ‘impossible’ we cannot do,” Mr. Hatz said during a trip to San Francisco that year, where he http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/22/business/international/vw‐executive‐had‐a‐pivotal‐role‐as‐car‐ maker‐struggled‐with‐emissions.html?_r=0 The New York Times 12/21/15 Page | 2 took part in a technology demonstration hosted byVolkswagen. “From my point of view, the C.A.R.B. is not realistic,” he said of the California Air Resources Board, in remarks filmed by an auto website during the event. Of the proposed regulation, he said, “I see it as nearly impossible for us.” In September of this year, Volkswagen, then the world’s largest automaker, admitted to installing software designed to cheat on emissions tests, setting off one of the largest corporate scandals in the industry’s history.

FLANERY ABSTRACT Midcentury American life featured a post-war economy that established a middle class in which disposable income and time for leisure were commonplace. In this socio-economic environment, consumerism flourished, ushering in the Golden Age of the automobile: from 1950 to 1960, Americans spent more time in their automobiles than ever before, and, by the end of the decade, the number of cars on the road had more than doubled. While much critical attention has been given to the role of the automobile in American novels, less has been given to its role in American short stories.

  • The Opel Association of North America
    The Opel Association of North America The Official Newsletter of the OANA Vol.8 No. 2 – Mar/Apr 2000 The History of the Opel Bitter OANA CLUB INFORMATION The Opel Association of North America has been in existence as a local club since 1985. From 1994 to 1996 the club saw many transformations, and the O.A.N.A. settled into its current form in 1996. Our purpose now is to provide a source for locating parts, service, tech-help and various forums to exchange information between owners of all Opel models from the 1957 Olympia to any gray market imports that are in North America. We do, however, place a special emphasis on the Opel GT, Manta and Kadett models. Our ultimate goal is to keep the Opel marquee a presence in North America, improve the collectability of all Opels in North America, and most of all, to have fun doing it. The North American Bitter Registry was formed for essentially the same reasons as The Opel Association. A very small number of Bitters (our sister make) SC coupes were imported into the U.S. With the non-existence of any club to help the owners of these rare and exotic cars, it was determined that our club would be the right place to give assistance and help these owners have a place to get connected. · Club membership dues: Net-Only Membership (Members do not get a mailed newsletter; they download it from the net) is $20 for 2 years. Business members are $100 a year (includes business card in newsletter and banner on front page of web site), $50 per ad page per issue.

    LONDON BOOK FAIR 2018 McCormick Literary Fiction SHERPA GIRL by Adam Popescu Debut novel set in the shadow of Mount Everest about a young Sherpa woman’s quest for self- determination. When Nima’ father, a proud Sherpa guide, is injured in an avalanche that kills his young son, he becomes taciturn and abusive, losing himself in the bottle and forcing his wife and daughters to scrape out a meager existence as best they can. An arranged marriage with a handsome neighbor could be Nima’s way out, but after a fortuitous encounter with a sympathetic female nurse, she decides she wants a real escape—an education. On the eve of her wedding, she steals her father’s sturdy boots and flees down the mountain to Kathmandu. There she meets a British journalist looking for a guide to take her to Base Camp. Unfortunately, girls are considered bad luck on the mountain. So begins Nima’s transformation –she chops off her hair and tapes down her breasts to pass as a boy—and her incredible journey. Adam Popescu is a freelance journalist for The New York Times, the Washington Post, Bloomberg, Vanity Fair, and others.

You will note it is not just a rendition of the number of procedures, patients seen or lives touched, but a display of what it’s like to be in our culture. Culture is a commonly over- used word; what I really mean is our family. We prize our family approach to medicine, life and doing the right thing for everyone we encounter. Arkansas Heart Hospital also values a community approach which is ev- ident with our various events each year. The major ones are the fabulous Cardiac Classic bike ride, the unbelievably exciting Heart Summit and our sponsorship of the Festival of Wines.
