another excellent ebook by andrew mulholland . i was particularly interested to see if he would be able to condense churchill’s long and involved life into a manageable read , and he has done just that . there are many books and many thousands of pages written about churchill and although i am very familiar with churchill’s life this ebook is the one text i will keep to refer to . additionally andrew mulholland has furnished an excellent appendix giving brief biographies of many of the important , but peripheral , politicians of the time . churchill is too often considered as a solitary phenomenon , but his life is best seen within the context of the times in which he lived and the politics of the day . andrew mulholland has achieved this combination admirably in a remarkably compact ebook .

( 2001 ) , a new release from the criterion collection . it’s all bushes and darkness and bends in the road , various cars’ tail - lights appearing and disappearing . anything could happen there , especially since there are some very posh residences among the shrubs . but the view from mulholland drive is even more significant . ‘it could be someone’s missing maybe , ’ one detective says to another as they stand by the remains of a car crash on the drive . ‘that’s what i’m thinking , ’ the other detective says , and turns to look at the city from where they are standing : a whole world of bright lights flashing faintly far below . the detective walks to the edge of the cliff and stares down into the valley , as if the missing person has to be there , among the lights , along with the answer to every other question .

the sexual life of catherine m .

luis buñuel is the great artist of the unflagged dream , the one you recognise for what it is when the character wakes up but not before , as happens repeatedly in the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie . but lynch is the champion of the long illusion : the dream sequence in mulholland drive takes up nearly two hours of a film that is just short of two and a half hours long . he is quite clear , as buñuel is , about when the dream ends . in a wonderfully swift and elliptical series of shots , two women return to an apartment ; one puts a small box on a bed , the other moves away to take a larger box from a cupboard , and when she turns back , her companion has gone . she calls , as if the other woman had to be still in the apartment somewhere ; but she doesn’t know what kind of movie she is in . her companion has left this story entirely and in a moment will be seen inhabiting a quite different one .
little , brown and company is one of the country’s oldest and most distinguished publishing houses . led by publisher reagan arthur , little , brown brings out fiction and nonfiction by many of america’s finest writers in hardcover , paperback , ebook , and audio formats . michael pietsch is the chairman and ceo of the hachette book group , of which little , brown is a division . terry adams , digital and paperback publisher , oversees little , brown’s paperback lines , including back bay books and little , brown trade and mass market paperbacks , as well as little , brown’s electronic publishing program . judy clain is little brown ' s editor in chief and craig young is its deputy publisher .
little , brown and company was founded in boston in 1837 , when charles little and james brown formed a partnership “for the purpose of publishing , importing and selling books . ” the company was primarily a bookseller at first , as were most publishing firms of that day , and has in fact traced its roots back even further – to 1784 and a bookstore opened on marlborough street by ebenezer battelle . mr . little and mr . brown began by publishing the works of benjamin franklin and george washington , and highlights of their early lists include edward gibbon’s decline and fall of the roman empire , the letters of john adams , the speeches of daniel webster , and oliver wendell holmes jr . ’s landmark the common law . in 1859 the company took over publishing rights to a book entitled familiar quotations by john bartlett . the eighteenth edition of the now familiar bartlett’s familiar quotations , with geoffrey o’brien as general editor , arrived in 2012 .

walter mosley : if you were poor and white , you might have claimed socrates as an inspiration .

maybe you’d look up to someone , but that person wasn’t from your race or ethnicity .
my paternal grandfather was the only black man in new iberia , louisiana who could read . everyone brought him their contracts , letters or whatever else required a written response .

michael wood is girding himself for a summer teaching in vermont . on empson is out now .
we see similar shots of the los angeles area several times in the film . this is the mythical metropolis , the last american city going west , the place where all dreams end , the place made only of dreams , and the director wants us to join him in living there for a couple of hours . it’s not an easy place to be , partly because even dreams are not made of dreams , only of mixed wreckage from the waking day , and partly because this is david lynch’s particular choice of wreckage , full of ambition , danger and ambiguity . the city is ‘mysterious and apparitional’ , as dennis lim says in his excellent new book on lynch , and never more so than in this film . [ * ]
i am calling the first part of the film a dream because that is what most people call it , and because it has elements that clearly belong to the fantasy of the character in the second part . but it doesn’t have to be a dream : it could just be a tale she tells herself , or a long memory , or a memory tipping over into fiction . all we can really say is that the levels of proposed reality within the film clearly shift ; and that naomi watts , who used to be betty , becomes diane . diane , to put it at its simplest , has invented betty .
diane is an actress who has lost her love , a woman , to a director ( and perhaps to another actress on the side , unless this is diane’s fantasy ) . in the intervals of seeing her affair go wrong and plotting vengeance , diane creates the story of the movie’s first two hours . betty , a girl from deep river , ontario , has won a jitterbugging competition – that’s what all those antique dancers and silhouettes were about at the start of the film – and has come to hollywood to try her luck . her luck includes finding the amnesiac survivor of an assassination attempt in the apartment she is borrowing , and the two women go on a quest to find the survivor’s lost past . the quest turns up various memories and locations , including a magical theatre and a corpse that may belong to diane herself – a figure of fear that has crept from one story into another .
there is quite a bit of aimless hocus - pocus in the movie involving blue keys and a mysterious blue box . this is presumably meant to remind us that lynch is a magician and can do what he likes with his film , in or out of the metaphysical cabaret . the plotline about the director - character within the movie and his difficulties with the mafia , who have a strong interest in a particular bit of casting , feels a bit thin too . but the most extraneous - looking scenes in the whole work , apart from being beautifully , slowly , acted and shot , are also the least extraneous to the film’s preoccupations .
two men sit in a diner on sunset boulevard . one looks perturbed and mentions a dream he has had – twice . he describes the dream . it has him sitting in this same diner , his companion also in the room but over by the till , and the dreamer perceives ( he says he sees through a wall ) a ghastly - looking old man behind the building controlling events , terrifying everyone . the dreamer’s waking hope is never to see this man’s face ‘ever , outside of a dream’ . this problem would seem to be easily solvable and the two men leave the diner to encounter the nothing they expect to find . as they turn the last corner to reach the back wall they see a ghastly - looking old man , all long hair , blackened face and stereotyped horror , a sort of movie caveman . both dreams and reality can be a little predictable .
towards the end of the film diane sits in the same diner , in the process of paying a hitman to kill her ex - friend camilla . the man who told the dream earlier stands outside , looking austere , saying nothing . behind the diner the ghastly - looking man sits by a fire , apparently using some kind of voodoo to manufacture the tiny figures who are going to creep under diane’s door and drive her to suicide .
the structure of thought here resembles that of david cronenberg’s the brood ( 1979 , also newly released by criterion ) , where a therapy that deals in working out one’s rage creates a set of small creatures who go off and beat in the heads of people you don’t like . the point , i take it , is not that dreams always come true , or that fact is more fantastic than fiction , but that nothing in the mind is permanently guaranteed not to find a partner or echo in reality . ‘whatever is thinkable is also possible , ’ as wittgenstein said , and just because you dream of a scary old man in the neighbourhood doesn’t mean there are no scary old men in the neighbourhood .

my research interests concern ireland since the famine , and the history of political thought since the french revolution . i ' m particularly keen to supervise research in the fields of twentieth - century irish history , and in the history of socialism .
bourgeois liberty and the politics of fear : from absolutism to neo - conservatism ( oup oxford , october 2012 ) .
in 1842 heinrich heine , the german poet , wrote that the bourgeoisie , ' obsessed by a nightmare apprehension of disaster ' and ' an instinctive dread of communism ' , were driven against their better instincts into tolerating absolutist government . theirs was a ' politics motivated by fear ' . over the next 150 years , the middle classes were repeatedly accused of betraying liberty for fear of ' red revolution ' . the failure of the revolutions of 1848 , conservative nationalism from the 1860s , fascist victories in the first half of the twentieth - century , and repression of national liberation movements during the cold war - these fateful disasters were all explained by the bourgeoisie ' s fear of the masses . for their part , conservatives insisted that demagogues and fanatics exploited the desperation of the poor to subvert liberal revolutions , leading to anarchy and tyranny . only evolutionary reform was enduring .
from the 1970s , however , liberal revolution revived on an unprecedented scale . with the collapse of communism , bourgeois liberty once again became a crusading , force , but now on a global scale . in the twenty - first century , the armed forces of the united states , britain , and nato became instruments of ' regime change ' , seeking to destroy dictatorship and build free - market democracies . president george w . bush called the invasion of iraq in 2003 a ' watershed event in the global democratic revolution ' . this was an extraordinary turn - around , with the middle classes now hailed as the truly universal class which , in emancipating itself , emancipates all society . the debacle in iraq , and the great recession from 2008 , revealed all too clearly that hubris still invited nemesis .
bourgeois liberty and the politics of fear examines this remarkable story , and the fierce debates it occasioned . it takes in a span from the seventeenth century to the twenty - first , covering a wide range of countries and thinkers . broad in its scope , it presents a clear set of arguments that shed new light on the creation of our modern world .
in irish history , i look at the ' national question ' ( almost inevitably ) . this has included studies of the press , of ulster unionism , and of the provisional ira . i have written a biography of terence o ' neill , prime minister of northern ireland from 1963 to 1969 . i am also preparing a new large - scale project on irish history based upon a fresh plunge into archives new to me .
in terms of theory , i have written on the salience of class as an interpretative framework for modern history . somewhat unfashionably , i have argued for a rehabilitation of the marxist framework , whilst insisting that it has not been well understood hitherto . my work on the history of political thought focuses less upon high theory , more upon its mid - range grappling with the exigencies of societal conflict . this has produced a recent book covering certain lines of debate from absolutism to neo - conservatism .
& quot ; bibliography of the major writings of roy foster to 2014 & quot ; - - pages 283 - 289 .
this book brings together some of today’s most exciting scholars of irish history to chart the pivotal events in the history of modern ireland while providing fresh perspectives on topics ranging from colonialism and nationalism to . . .

however fiat decided to persist with the chinese market by establishing a new joint - venture with chery . the aim of this partnership was to create 175 thousand fiat and alpha romeo cars , but this strategy was cancelled in 2009 . as a consequence , fiat established another joint - venture with guangzhou automobile group co and invested 400 million euros ( i . e . around £337 million ) . in 2011 , fiat aimed to sell 300 thousand cars in china by 2014 . to do so , fiat was relying on its alliance with chrysler , which was the first american automaker to build vehicles china . lorenzo sistino , fiat’s head of international operations confirmed its ambition to export small cars and green technology to the chinese market . the fiat 500 was introduced in china last year and was supposed to be the company’s “weapon” . however , sales of the fiat 500 didn’t really take off in 2012 .

in 1996 , nanjing auto established naveco ( nanjing iveco automobile co ltd [ 17 ] ) with iveco , [ 16 ] fiat ' s commercial vehicles unit . [ 8 ] the joint venture initially manufactured a version of the iveco daily for sale in the chinese market , [ 16 ] and , as of 1995 , it continued to make light trucks but had added diesel engines as well . [ 18 ]
wang haoling , chairman of nanjing automotive group corporation ( nac ) , the chinese parent of the joint venture , is quoted as saying :
i don ' t think fiat has a good understanding of the chinese market . our provincial governor and mayor have discussed product development strategies with fiat ' s people and expressed the hope that it would introduce medium - to high - end models to the chinese market . studies have also been conducted on the possibility of introducing alfa romeo or lancia models , or the fiat panda , for production in nanjing . but the italian side is not willing to do so . the result is that nanjing - fiat does not offer enough models to customers .
according to the purchase agreement , nanjing automobile has bought the mg , austin and other british car brands , production technology and equipment for the mg zt , mg zs , mg zr and mg tf and k - series engines .
amadei said delaying the reciprocal investment in the fiat joint venture for two years may give nac ' s mg project some breathing room but by then the fiat brand will have already lost out on the chinese market .

last year nanjing - fiat set a 300 , 000 unit sales target for 2010 , but the car article is not optimistic that this target will be reached . instead it concludes with comments by industry observers that the companies need to improve their understanding of one another , and foster mutual trust and respect .
the assembly line is likely to come up in fiat ' s ranjangaon unit , where the auto co already has a 50 : 50 manufacturing joint venture with tata .
the italian group realised its mistake and decided to expand its models into china in 1986 through a joint - venture with iveco and nanjing automotive . in 1999 , fiat signed a joint - venture with nanjing automotive but the group was already far behind its competitors . in 2002 , after investing around 330 thousand euros ( i . e . almost £280 , 000 ) , it started the production of the following models : palio , siena and perla .
shortly after nanjing automobile bought the company it revealed plans to employ 1 , 200 workers and ultimately build 100 , 000 cars in 2006 , but apparently just 600 jobs are now likely to be created and 15 , 000 cars assembled at the beginning , which represents a tenth part of those originally planned . the factory is now planned to reopen in early 2007 .
nanjing ' s rover 75 - based cars will be mostly sedans that will be called the mg 7 . nanjing will also build some station wagons called the mg 7t . it intends to build the mg 7 in both china and at the former mg rover factory in longbridge , england .

in the mid - 1980s , nanjing auto purchased designs and moulds from isuzu [ 7 ] and obtained technology from the italian iveco , the commercial vehicle unit of fiat , [ 8 ] participating in a spate of technology transfer deals circa 1980 that saw japanese designs and machinery sold to chinese buyers . [ 7 ]
fiat has been in india longer than any other foreign carmaker and yet , had little to show for it in recent years . jeep compass is steering its fortunes around .
shares of ford , general motors , as well as the u . s . - listed shares of fiat , were up between 1 percent and 2 . 4 percent .
currently , the company has reached an annual capacity of 200 , 000 sets of various autos , including over 400 kinds of saloon cars , light trucks , heavy trucks , light buses , off - road vehicles , estate cars , special vehicles and special - purpose vehicles as well as a wide series and multi - type product mix of various chassis , which has developed into four integrated production bases of yuejin , nanjing - iveco , nanjing - fiat and soyat .
however , fiat didn’t follow the trend at first and lagged behind rivals due to an inappropriate strategy . everything started in 1982 when a chinese manufacturer visited fiat in italy to offer a joint - venture . but the company didn’t really believe in the potential of the chinese market so the manufacturers left italy for germany and established a joint - venture with them instead .
) . the capacity of the nanjing - mg factory will reach 200 , 000 autos , 250 , 000 engines and 100 , 000 gear - boxes .
sometime before the 1980s , nanjing auto was under the joint jurisdiction of both the central and local governments . [ 7 ] as of 2003 , this vehicle manufacturer was owned by yuejin automobile group of jiangsu , which held just over fifty - percent ownership of the company at this time , and two state firms created to dispose of non - performing bank loans , china huarong asset management and china cinda asset management . [ 23 ] nanjing auto is now a subsidiary of saic , having been merged with the much larger automaker in 2007 . [ 25 ]
a result of chinese state policy to encourage mergers and acquisitions in the domestic automobile market , saic motor and the state - owned parent company of nanjing auto , yuejin automotive group , finalized a long - planned merger in december 2007 . [ 25 ] fitful merger negotiations between the two companies had begun in 2001 , and the tie - up was widely anticipated . [ 23 ] prior to the merger , but bidding alongside saic , [ 1 ] nanjing auto purchased the remaining assets of british group mg rover for near us $ 100 million . [ 26 ]
fiat had previously planned to invest 500 million euros in the joint venture over five years in a drive toward meeting the company ' s 2010 sales goal of 300 , 000 vehicles in china .
in 1999 the design , and possibly the tooling , for seat ' s first generation ibiza was purchased and the car sold in china as the nanjing yuejin soyat . [ 10 ]
one of the reasons for a lack of trust may be nac ' s acquisition of rover and its plans to develop its own brand . fiat dislikes the competition , but also the joint venture may have suffered from a lack of attention from nac management , according to the car report . on the other hand fiat has entered into an engine supply agreement with chery and there have been rumours that this may result in a joint venture .
nac unveiled its mg 7 series in nanjing in march this year , announcing it would become the first chinese automaker to manufacture in the united states by building the mg in oklahoma from may 2008 .
nanjing - iveco , or naveco , [ 16 ] is a joint venture with the italian iveco . [ 23 ] as of 1995 , it builds diesel engines and light trucks . [ 18 ]
the initial mg range consisted of just the mg 7 and the mg tf . [ 11 ] nanjing auto also started production of the rover streetwise - based mg 3 sw in 2008 . [ 12 ]
creating a fiat 500 in china that is adapted to the market trend could be an alternative , but it won’t be a piece of cake . according to chinese social networks and blogs , both experts and potential clients are doubtful of its possible success since small cars can be perceived as low value , even if equipped with the best technology . the price of the fiat 500 might be too expensive for the country given that numerous competitors offer small cars with very competitive prices in china .
iveco , an affiliate of fiat , also has a us $ 300 million joint venture in co - operation with the yuejin trucks , producing iveco commercial vans . iveco is the world ' s second biggest bus manufacturer , following only mercedes - benz .
the mg range will expand in late 2008 with the launch of two new model ranges which may also be sold as austins . these will effectively replace the mg zr and mg zs ranges which nanjing decided against continuing .
nanjing is already seeking price quotes from suppliers in china , including many who are already making parts for a version of the rover 75 that will be assembled by saic motor , a subsidiary of shanghai automotive industry corporation .
sometime in 2007 , yuejin ' s truck - making business was merged with the iveco - nanjing auto joint venture naveco , [ 16 ] [ 19 ] which continued to sell under the yuejin brand . [ 17 ]
but industry insiders say nanjing and saic will eventually be forced to co - operate in building rover - based cars . indeed , the chinese government has already told the two to work things out , say sources close to both companies .
however , as of the beginning of 2007 , there have been reports of quarreling between the americans partners and nanjing auto over differences of opinion regarding mg ' s future . some people speculate that the americans are impatient with nanjing , who seem to be more heavily favouring the existing british longbridge factory and their own chinese operations over the planning of the us factory . there is also believed to be extensive cultural difference between the chinese and the americans that are causing rifts .
nanjing automobile corporation sells a range of light trucks under the yuejin name . the yuejin motor group has an annual production capacity of 200 , 000 vehicles of various types including light trucks , light buses , cross country vehicles , minibuses , vans and special - purpose vehicles as well as various types of chassis . they have also been active in exporting vehicles and components with sales to countries including argentina , south africa , sudan , ivory coast , namibia , djibouti , tanzania , cyprus , togo , italy and spain . in addition they have established in some countries local skd / ckd assembly plants for trucks and minibuses .
saic sources say the agreement under which saic purchased the intellectual property rights of the 75 has loopholes that allow nanjing to also make the sedan , that means there could be two copies of the rover 75 on chinese roads in a few years .
nanjing auto acquired some assets of mg rover group and powertrain ltd in 2005 after the group had entered administration . according to the purchase agreement , nanjing auto bought mg , austin , and some other dormant british car brands , and the production technology and equipment for the mg zt and mg tf models . some equipment and blueprints were repossessed by honda , as its intellectual property is used in some of mg rover vehicles , in particular , the rover 45 and mg zs , which were based on the honda domani . [ 1 ]
however , even if its market shares remain very low ( 0 . 39 % ) , fiat - chrysler chinese sales soared by 45 % in 2012 compared with 2011 which is an encouraging growth rate . the group also announced its plans to reintroduce jeep – a brand of chrysler group – on the chinese market whose sales more than doubled last year . after 30 years of mistakes in the chinese market , fiat is at last on the right track but still has a long way to go . if the group wants to succeed , it will have to adapt to the chinese trend and expectations which has not been the case so far .
china is a goldmine for car manufacturers . since 2009 it has been the world’s largest car market . the car industry has experienced record sales for the past few years in china . but fiat was not part of this phenomenon . let’s find out why the italian group failed for over thirty years to enter the chinese car market .
fiat is a latecomer to the china market and showed half - year sales of 16 , 442 units for the first six months of 2006 . the company hopes the perla , which goes on sale in september , will help it reach total sales of 40 , 000 units this year , which would be an improvement of 20 percent from 2005
however , introducing three old car models to the chinese market was not enough to adapt to the market trend . along with this unsuccessful strategy , fiat experienced management issues ( the joint - venture’s president changed four times ) and they achieved much lower sales than expected . as a consequence , the joint - venture split up and its factory was sold to volkswagen in 2007 .
if we compare this strategy with the other big car manufacturers , we notice that most of them modified the models making them bigger than the originals in order to match the chinese expectations . take the example of the volkswagen’s passat . the chinese version is larger and longer than the european models which is a perfect example of adaptation while fiat just imported the models without making any changes .
mg vehicles will not only be built in nanjing , china , but also at the longbridge assembly plant near birmingham , england and at a new american assembly plant to be built at the ardmore air park in ardmore , oklahoma . headquarters for mg sales , marketing and distribution ( outside of asia ) will be located in oklahoma city . research and development will be in norman at the university of oklahoma .
the site is owned by st . modwen properties which acquired 412 acres ( 1 . 67 km 2 ) in two deals in 2003 and 2004 for £57 . 5 million and leased it back to mg rover group . a 33 - year deal was signed in february 2006 between nanjing auto and st . modwen properties covering the lease of 105 acres ( a quarter of the total area of the longbridge plant ) but including the two main car assembly plants , the paint shop and administrative offices at a rent of around £1 . 8 million a year . £10 million was estimated to be needed to reopen the factory . [ 13 ]
nac has now decided to establish production bases of mg project at longbridge , nanjing , and ardmore . on one hand , the production of some products with rather high cost if produced in the u . k . , such as engine , transmission and medium and low end vehicle products , will be transferred to china , where a mature supply chain with low cost will be set up step by step . on the other hand , with part of production facility retained in the uk , the original longbridge site will be integrated to resume the production of mg tf sport car and part of high end products ( including zt and zt - t ) . meanwhile , by making full use of the prominent r & d capability and human resources in the uk as well as that of china , the euro iv engines and a new generation of vehicles will be developed and then produced in both china and the uk in the near future . then , the sales network of china established by nac and the global sales network of the former mg rover can be used to meet the demand of various markets in china , britain , europe and north america .

the main reason is a lack of new products . it currently offers four models , the palio , siena , palio weekend and perla , but all are essentially versions of the palio . the perla was launched last year and was developed locally , but is still based on palio technology .
another problem is the lack of leadership . since the joint venture was established seven years ago it has been run by four ceos , mao xiaoming , su tongchang , paolo massi and now andrew j . humberstone . there have been frequent personnel changes elsewhere in the business , including in marketing . a dealer notes that the reason for the high staff turnover is that there is a cool relationship between the two partners .
neither seems to have a good opinion of the other ,

it is a significant step taken by nac in its global strategy to acquire the assets of mg rover and powertrain ltd . after its successful acquisition of mg assets , nac is now undertaking the overall planning of mg project , of which , some part is already underway for implementation .
nac is in the process of making detailed plan for the strategy implementation in the uk and china and has taken steps on some important strategic issues such as longbridge site integration and euro iv engines development .
in the current plan , the production will be resumed in the longbridge in march 2007 , when mg tf , mg zt and mg zt - t production will resume . the first customers will take delivery during the summer .
therefore , it is a key point in the global strategic plan of nac to re - establish a new sales network based on the original one of former mg rover group .
it is predicted that the factory , which covers 290 , 000 m² , will have a construction time of seven to nine months with completion in 2006 with the first cars produced in 2007 .
the mg series will be renamed as mg3z , mg5z and mg7z , from the original mgzr , mgzs and mgzt .
the mg rover plant at longbridge was for many years one of the most important factories in europe and was the largest british owned car manufacturing plant until the bankruptcy of the mg rover group . after the factory of abingdon closed in 1980 , longbridge was also from 1982 the home of mg . longbridge employed 16 , 000 ten years ago , down to 6 , 000 when the company collapsed into administration in april 2005 .
the ownership of the site is held by the st modwen properties company who acquired 412 acres of the longbridge site in two deals in 2003 and 2004 for £57 . 5 million and leased it back to mg rover group .
a 33 year deal was signed in february 2006 between nac and st modwen properties covering the lease of 105 acres ( a quarter of the total area of the longbridge plant ) but including the two main car assembly plants , the paint shop and administrative offices at a rent of around £1 . 8 million a year .
an estimated £10 million is needed to reopen the factory . the company has also encountered problems securing suppliers to make components for the mg tf the unique car it plans to build there at the moment .
the development of euro iv engines , previously completed by powertrain , would be carried into production , with much of the final stages now being complete . bulking up the european end of the operation , a uk research and design centre would be set up in order to develop euro - specific models . there will also be a research and design centre in china for the development of cars for the chinese market .
there are plans for three new model range to go on sale in late 2008 , with mg and possibly also austin badges .
nac has recruited a seasoned american auto executive , duke t . hale , to be the new company’s president and chief executive officer responsible for the revival of mg in the uk and europe followed by the re - launch of mg in north america .
according to mg motors officials , approximately 550 jobs will be created in oklahoma , including headquarters operations , assembly operations , parts and distribution operations and research and development .
the company expects to start construction of the ardmore assembly facility early in 2007 with production to start by the third quarter of 2008 .
