    A staple in the New York region and an emerging program on the nationalQuick stage, the Facts Manhattanville and College Athletic Contents Department continues to bolster its reputation as a program on the rise in all areas: athletic achievement, academic success and overall participation. More than 325 Valiant student-athletes (nearly 20 percent of the student body) took part in intercollegiate athletics during the 2011-12 school year showcasing the continued and rapid growth of athletics at Manhattanville. With women’s golf beginning play as a varsity sport in 2012-13, the program now sponsors 20 competitive intercollegiate teams – including eight teams that have been established or re-established since 2007 alone. And teams at Manhattanville do not just compete, they win. Three teams earned conference regular-season or tournament championships in 2011-12 and two Valiant squads (men’s soccer and men’s golf) made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Fifteen of 21 Valiant squads earned berths in their respective conference championships last year, including the third straight title and seventh in 11 seasons for men’s golf. In addition, the men’s hockey, men’s golf and women’s hockey teams all received national rankings over the course of the year. On an individual level, many Valiant student-athletes were honored in 2011-12 as well, led by All-America selections Eros Olazabal (men’s soccer) and Dan Fiorito (baseball). Manhattanville also boasted three Freedom Conference Players of the Year and two Freedom Rookies of the Year to go with 47 combined All-Conference honorees. In recent years, at least 35 former Valiants have gone on to play their sport professionally either domestically or overseas as well.

  • Louis Chevrolet: La Storia Di Un Progettista Geniale
    CHEVROLET - Rassegna Stampa Web http://www.intermotori.com/ex000016920050124.htm | Aggiungi a Preferiti | Note Legali | E–Mail | | Prove su Strada | Automobilismo | Accessori | Notizie Utili | Quiz & Test | Contattaci | Louis Chevrolet: la storia di un progettista geniale Automobilismo Il giorno di Natale 1878, nella città svizzera di La Chaux-de-Fonds, nelle montagne del Giura, nasce un ragazzo destinato a cambiare per sempre il mondo dell'automobile. Alla fine del 1887, quando Louis ha solo nove anni, i coniugi Chevrolet si trasferiscono, con i loro cinque figli (Alfred, Louis, Fanny, Berthe and Arthur), a Beaune, in Francia, dove la famiglia continua a crescere. Dopo Marthe, la terza figlia, nel 1892 è la volta di Gaston, l'ultimo di sette bambini. Collaborazioni Mentre il padre Joseph si guadagna da vivere nella fabbricazione di orologi, Louis decide di diventare meccanico. Trova lavoro nella società di trasporti Roblin che si occupa anche della riparazione di carri e biciclette. La leggenda vuole che, nella primavera del 1896 o 1897, Louis Chevrolet venga prelevato dal laboratorio per riparare l'auto di un cliente che alloggia all’"Hotel de la Poste". Il veicolo, che all’epoca suscita Corsi di Guida Sicura enorme scalpore, appartiene al miliardario americano Vanderbilt. È questo, probabilmente, il Sportiva e Agonistica momento in cui Louis Chevrolet si “innamora” due volte: dell'automobile e dell'idea di emigrare in America. A Beaune, Louis Chevrolet scopre un'altra passione: le corse. Più o meno in quell'epoca, il ragazzo gareggia nelle sue prime corse ciclistiche nelle colline che circondano cittadina, ottenendo diverse vittorie. Ed è effettivamente la sua bicicletta "Gladiator" a portarlo a Parigi all'inizio del 1899.

  • The Evolution of the US Automotive Industry
    The Evolution of the U.S. Automotive Industry Course No: D05-004 Credit: 5 PDH Robert P. Tata, P.E. Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] The Evolution of the U.S. Automotive Industry Copyright 2013 Robert Tata, B.M.S.E., P.E. All Rights Reserved Introduction The author, a licensed Professional Engineer, has also been employed in an engineering capacity by all “Big Three” automakers; GM, Ford, & Chrysler. Here he has sought to investigate the series of events that made Detroit, Michigan the automotive capital of the world. Detroit, Michigan is a place, off the beaten path, in an isolated glove-shape piece of land thrust up between two lakes, with sometimes very inclement weather. Ohio and Indiana, who were also active in the creation of the auto industry in the U.S., are in the same general area of the country as Michigan and share the same climate. How did the industry get its start in this three-state area. One would think that other parts of the country would be more conducive to the formation of such an important part of the history of this nation. Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana were not members of the original 13 states and therefore have to be considered less developed territories than the original thirteen states around the turn of the 19th century when the American gasoline powered automobile was invented. Read how the author has searched for the answers to these somewhat perplexing questions surrounding why Detroit became “The Motor City”.
