Ford's China JV ends gas pedal review - The Sun News Posted: 31 Jan 2010 02:01 PM PST Toyota nears fix for pedal Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday it's closing in on solutions to a gas pedal system problem, but it still had no details on when drivers would see repairs, as an embarrassing recall spread to more than 2.4 million vehicles on three continents. Toyota dealers in the U.S. have been swamped with calls from concerned owners, but had few answers as the recalls snowballed. Elkhart, Ind.-based CTS Corp., which made the parts, is cranking out redesigned gas pedal assemblies that fix the problem, which is caused by condensation around an arm attached to the pedal and springs that send the pedal back to the idle position. Toyota engineers are developing ways to repair the pedal systems in existing cars and trucks, said spokesman Brian Lyons. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

Volkswagen Many people may wonder: I have not had any problems with my Volkswagen Beetle so far. Do I really need an Extended Warranty? The answer is simple - Yes. Every vehicle on the road is open to the possibility of having a mechanical failure. The older your Volkswagen Beetle gets and the more miles that are put on it, the more likely it is that a breakdown occurs. An extended warranty will be there for you when you need it the most once Volkswagen is no longer there to protect you from high repair costs. The Volkswagen Beetle, also known as the Volkswagen Type 1, was an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. It used an air cooled rear engined rear wheel drive (RR layout). In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most of the world, VW introduced the "New Beetle" (built on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 platform) which bore a visual resemblance to the original.

City cries for parking space - Tribune Posted: 31 Jan 2010 12:21 PM PST At the Crossroads Flitting across the good old days During the wintry season, my imagination carries me to Shimla where nature weaves the web of snowflakes at intervals. My association with this place is due not only to its ambience but also to the individuals who came into my contact over the years. In Sanjauli resides Dr Som P Ranchan who is a scholar, poet and novelist. I have known him since 1952 when he had received his first degree and was doing MA English. Thereafter, he went to the US on Fulbright Fellowship, served California University System for 10 years, joined HP University, Shimla, as a professor and head of English department and retired from there in 1992 after putting in service for 15 years. Basically he is a learned poet, but these days he is working on his second novel that revolves around the period of his growth and maturity, verging on a confessional. Perched on a hillock in Summerhill is Dr Mita Biswas who has guided 25 PhD scholars in English literature and published 30 well-researched articles in literary journals of repute. She is at present director, department of correspondence studies at HP University, Shimla. She has authored many books of literary criticism, the latest being representation of a culture in Indian English Poetry (2009), the research project she has accomplished as the Fellow of Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla. She is a poet too but her outpourings in poetic form are still a guarded secret. In the same university, Professor Pankaj K Singh of the department of English is engaged, besides teaching, in her critical writings on the various aspects of English and American literatures. She is an authority on the feminist nuances in Qissa Puran Bhagat by the nineteenth century Punjabi poet Qadiryar. She is also editing a journal that spans Indian writing English and the literary output in Australia. Her endeavour is to bring the thinking people in both the countries nearer to one another. In my recent telephonic conversation with her, I urged her to focus more on Punjabi Cultural Heritage. "In vacant or in pensive mood", the images of certain persons known to me, "flash upon that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude." As TS Eliot has said - "In the room women come and go/ talking of Michelangelo", my contact has always been with the persons who are in the field of creative as well as critical literature. When I was Fellow at IIAS in Rashtrapati Nivas, a decade ago, Dr Mrinal Miri was the Director of the Institute. His philosophical talks in the seminars enlightened the mind but his silences at occasions were more eloquent. His wife, Dr Sujata Miri, played her role, as an artist, in synchronising the moods of nature with the strokes of her brush on the canvas. In Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla Bhisham Sahni was of a taciturn nature. But he opened up at times with literary anecdotes and regaled the audience with his genial humour. Krishna Sobti of Mitro Marjani fame was a veritable grande dame who always presided over the informal get-togethers in the evening. Mostly she carried the day in her suave manner. Not far behind were Lakshmi Kanan and Rajee Seth who were very articulate in the seminars. Kanan had written novels in Malyalam and poetry in English. Her sophisticated manners greatly impressed the Fellows who were eager to exchange their views with her during the afternoon coffee-sessions. Rajee Seth, on her part, had a charisma of her own. She had written novels and poems in Hindi but most of her works had been translated in English. Recently she has received Tagore Literature Award in New Delhi by the First Lady of Korea, Her Excellency Kim Ywon-ok. Recalling the images of the good old days transports me to the realms of gold of John Keats's imagination. — NS Tasneem Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
