There's no biz like show biz: The Top 50 movers, shakers, heart-breakers in the mercurial world of autodom
1. Rick Wagoner, General Motors chairman
When you're slipping to second, you try harder
Why he's number one: Carlos Ghosn is fond of saying there's no problem at a car company that good product can't fix. Rick Wagoner has taken that to heart. He's let his number-one car guy, Bob Lutz, help fix the primary problem GM has had since Ron Zarella was running the show, with his repugnant "brand management" style. All the GM engineers and designers on the Power List this year have contributed to Wagoner's standing and the company's refound product success. And some car-guy attitude has rubbed off on Wagoner, who, it turns out, is the man behind the "Blue Devil" Corvette ZR1.
Vanquished? Last year, we gave Wagoner credit for surviving former major GM shareholder Kirk "please, keep it in Vegas" Kerkorian's Machiavellian move to replace Wagoner with Ghosn. Last year, Toyota sold more vehicles than GM in the first few months of the year. But GM, in the midst of introducing greatly improved new models, regained the lead.
Warning: The huge, $39-billion third-quarter loss. Most of it is a paper loss, the "write-off" of tax credits GM had claimed earlier. Blame $757 million of the loss on the mortgage crisis, as GM still owns 49 percent of GMAC. Still, the write-off means Wagoner has lowered GM's profit expectations over the short-term.
He says: "People are going to see significantly greater distinctiveness in our product execution among our brands and they're going to see less overlap in our product portfolio from brand to brand as well. It's going to cover a broader portion of the market."
We say: GM's glory days could be ahead, once again. Toyota must show new respect.
2. Fujio Cho, Toyota Motor Corporation chairman
The runner stumbles
Bull market: Toyota made $4.27 billion in its third quarter alone. Cho has pushed to maintain excellent quality control and to expand the hybrid lineup. He still runs the world's best-run automaker.
Bear market: Japanese sales are slipping, environmentalists have figured out that Toyota profits on gas-guzzling trucks, Consumer Reports has uncovered quality glitches, and two top execs have left to save distressed U.S. automakers Ford and Chrysler.
Why that shouldn't worry you: Cho understands the problems and won't waste time fixing them.
3. Ferdinand Piech, Volkswagen AG Supervisory board chief
Plans to rule the world through VW and Porsche
Why he's behind Wagoner and Cho: Even with his family company, Porsche, buying up controlling interest of Volkswagen, it's not quite the powerhouse GM and Toyota are.
What's his game? Piech quietly sat in the first row of the Frankfurt show audience for each of VW Group's brand press conferences. After giving Bernd Pischetsrieder and then Wolfgang Bernhard a few years to dismantle his Phaetonesque product plan, those two are gone and Piech is back in the front row, planning automotive world domination.
4. Bob Lutz, GM vice chairman, global product and development
What's good for Lutz proves good for Wagoner
Props? Lutz has been GM's car guy long enough to foster in everything from the Car of the Year Cadillac CTS to Corvette ZR1, Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Malibu, a whole new line of Saturns and the upcoming Camaro.
Failures? The Aussie-built GTO never caught on.
Warning: His Aussie-built Pontiac G8 has suffered several delays.
Bottom line: Because Wagoner hired him to be GM's top car guy, they're a package deal. When Wagoner rises to the top of this list, Lutz can't be far behind.
5. Martin Winterkorn, Volkswagen AG chairman
Doing Piech's bidding to be at the top
What he's done for us lately: Has kept a GM-size list of brands true to their heritages, from proletariat Volkswagen to stiff-upper-lip Bentley to hot Italian Lamborghini.
Next big thing: The little Volkswagen Up!, a three-cylinder rear-engine hatchback for next-decade urban and Third World markets. And more luxurious, technically advanced Audis.
On the other hand: Still not that big in North America.
Will he run VW/Porsche? Could happen, though keeping Porsche under separate control (Wiedeking) is more likely.
6. Chris Bangle, BMW Group Design chief
Moves on just as he's copied
His influence: Now that the rest of the automotive world has copied his "flame surfacing" design language, BMW is ready to move on to a much more handsome evolution. We'll see it roll out beginning later this year.
How so? Think a fleet of cars that look like the CS Concept replacing a fleet of 7 Series. It'll knock the rest of the design world on its collective ass.
This ends the controversy? Hardly. Luddites will always claim he ruined BMW design.
7. Wendelin Wiedeking, Porsche AG executive board chairman, chief executive director
Next two years will be crucial
Why he's slipped behind Winterkorn: Onslaught of VW's mainstream product is less interesting, but more important to the industry than the new GT2, GT3.
Why 2008 and '09 will be so big for Wiedeking: Further extension of the Porsche brand continues with the Panamera.
Why we're not so bullish on that: The word "handsome" doesn't come to mind when looking at the Panamera spy shots.
The big question: If Porsche controls VW AG, does it need anything but sports cars to balance its portfolio?
8. Ed Welburn, GM VP for global design
Responsible for GM's best designs since the 1970s
Evidence: Chevy Malibu, Cadillac CTS, Pontiac G8, Chevy Camaro. Give Welburn extra credit for working on the Sixteen concept that inspired CTS and future Caddys.
Not a Harley Earl or Bill Mitchell? Still too early for such comparisons, but his stock outside GM is quickly rising. Insiders have always been bullish on him.
What'll it take? GM design must be consistently good, through all divisions and at all price levels, to live up to GM design from the 1930s to early '70s.
9. Fritz Henderson, GM vice chairman, chief financial officer
Keeping the General's turnaround going
Who? Career GM employee who began as a senior analyst in the treasurer's office, he worked for GMAC from 1989 to 1992. Led recent turnaround of GM's European operations, and in last September's UAW negotiations, was GM's point man in for the all-important Voluntary Employee Benefits Association portion of the contract.
Why should you care? Without him, Wagoner and Lutz wouldn't have money to build good cars.
Bet you didn't know: Upcoming Saabs reflect his redefinition of the brand for Europe.
10. Walter Da Silva, VW Group design chief
From Audi S5 to the whole company
Design history: Penned the Alfa Romeo 147, then went to VW's SEAT, followed by a stint at Audi, where he led design of the A6, Q7, new TT, R8 and A4/A5/S5.
Bangle-like controversy: Many enthusiasts love his new Audi A5/S5, many more don't like it; Da Silva says it's "the most beautiful car I've designed in my career."
We say: Can't wait to see what he does for VW's new world car, upcoming Bentleys, Lamborghinis, and Bugattis.
11. Ian Callum, Jaguar design director
Leading the Leaper into a new design era
Why he's back: XF, the car that'll put Jaguar back on the luxury icon map. Callum, off last year's list after rising from 22 in 2005 to 18 in '06, finally has his first all-new design to show after joining Jag in '99.
What he's done: Aston Martin DB7, Fords Escort RS, Cosworth, RS200, Mondeo, Fiesta, and the not-all-new Jaguar XK.
What's next: 2011 Jaguar XJ with XF's design language. Expect more retro-free, ground-breaking heritage design no matter who owns Jaguar by then.
12. Kevin Wale, GM China Group president, managing director
Making GM number one in its number-two market
Why he's moving up: After selling more Buicks than the U.S. in 2005, he got a new rear-drive Park Avenue for China four years before the U.S. gets one.
Bonus points: The Buick Riviera concept was designed in China, where it made its world debut.
The outlook: GM was never going to crack the Japanese market. China is much bigger and more open, and GM under Wale is becoming a powerhouse there.
Why you should care: GM's strength there feeds capital for better cars here.
13. Tom Peters, GM director rear-wheel-drive design
Stunning auto shows with his rear-drive Chevys
Why he's 13 with a bullet: Peters designs new Chevys with the kind of appealing looks that made it such a hot brand in the 1960s.
Evidence: Corvette ZR1, new Camaro, C6, and an unnamed concept, said to be a showstopper.
Designer, phone home: Also designed first Saturn, Cadillac XLR. During a stint at Texas Instruments, he penned its first laptops and drew set design concepts for the film "ET."
Can't win 'em all: "Credits" also include Pontiac Aztek, concept and production.
14. Alan Mulally, Ford Motor Company chief executive officer
Steering the Titanic away from the iceberg?
Why he's slowly moved up: Mulally is changing and challenging Ford Motor's culture. He understands that Ford needs to become a smaller automaker, and seems to have convinced the UAW of that.
Why he's not moving up faster: Ford's over-reliance on SUVs is shifting to over-reliance on crossovers. His Five Hundred name change hasn't worked.
Prospects: Better, with Jaguar/Land Rover off Ford's hands. But the goal is profitability by late 2009, and with our faltering economy, that looks like a long shot.
15. Roger Penske, Mega-dealer, race-team owner smart guy
Can he sell Americans on tiny cars?
Has Penske met his match? The guy who could be running GM, the guy whose shop floors you can eat off, is the U.S. importer for Daimler's smart cars.
Will he succeed? He'll meet modest sales goals and make smart a niche car in urban markets. Won't be a runaway hit like Mini, though.
Bonus points: GM bought 50-percent of Penske's VM Motori diesel last year.
What does it mean for Penske's future? He can do anything he wants-but that's nothing new.
16. Ron Gettelfinger, UAW president
Settling with GM, Ford, Chrysler, was a survival tactic
Why he's here: Gettelfinger understands his union's survival depends on GM, Ford, and Chrysler's survival.
What he did: Settle with each of the Detroit Three and take over health care benefits through voluntary employee benefit associations. Gettelfinger settled four-year contracts that seemed to satisfy both rank-and-file and management.
On the other hand: Rank-and-file barely passed the Chrysler contract, and the company followed by laying off another 10,000 blue-collar workers.
Bet you didn't know: Gettelfinger's UAW represents workers at three Detroit casinos.
17. Jean Todt, Ferrari CEO
Runs automaker like an F1 team, and vice versa
What he's done: Led Ferrari through its 60th anniversary with a healthy lineup of sports/exotics. He's looking to the future with lighter-weight cars that get better mileage and spew less CO2.
The sports pages: Led Ferrari to its 15th Formula 1 Manufacturers Championship (and 15th Driver's Championship, with Kimmi Raikkonnen last year). All that after Team McLaren got caught spying on Ferrari as its phenom, Lewis Hamilton, lead in points.
Bonus OK! magazine gossip fodder: Still reportedly dating Malaysian model/actress Michelle Yeoh.
18. Martin Smith, Ford Europe executive director, design
Designs the Fords Americans want
What he's done: Introduced Ford's new small-car design language with the Verve B-car concept at Frankfurt. His Ford Mondeo sedan nearly stole "Casino Royale" from the Aston DB-S. motortrend.com's e-mailbox has been stuffed with demands to bring the non-U.S.-compliant Mondeo here.
Last year, we said we hope Horbury can do for Ford what Smith has done for Ford of Europe: This year, we hope to see spy shots of small-car world designs based on the Verve.
19. Adrian Van Hooydonk, BMW Cars Design director
Deserves some of Bangle's credit for BMW design
Who is he, exactly? Bangle is design chief for all of BMW, which includes nonautomotive clients and motorcycles. Dutch-born Van Hooydonk reports to him as design chief for cars.
And why is he No. 19?: Van Hooydonk got the job in September 2004, well after Bangle had established his Flame Surfacing design language. The next generation of cars will have more of Van Hooydonk's influence. And they look sensational.
Really? Consider the production-approved CS Concept. It hints at the future direction for all future Bimmers.
20. Clay Dean, GM Design Cadillac Division
From truck design to Standard of the World
Why he's No. 20 with a bullet: Last year, we recognized Dean for designing the new Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM has since recognized Dean by putting him in charge of Cadillac, the only division with its own design studio.
Why that's a big job: Dean must translate the successful CTS sedan design language to coupe and wagon versions, plus the 2011 rear-drive DTS/STS replacement and the '10 BRX.
Other credits: C5, 1993 Camaro, '95 Impala SS, Avalanche, H2, '07 Saturn Aura, '08 Chevy Malibu.
21. Wolfgang Durheimer, Porsche AG executive VP, R&D
What happens when Porsche takes over VW?
Why he's influential: His cars continue to set the standard of what a sports car should be. Usually best-in-class straight-line performance, handling, steering, comfort, etc. The Cayman, for example, is nearly perfect in its mid-engine balance.
Porsche faces life: The Cayenne has failed to set any standard for performance SUVs. Panameras had better have the type of performance to make us forget its styling.
Bottom line: Porsche taking a major stake in Volkswagen Group could change Durheimer's life, but probably things won't change too much.
22. Takeo Fukui, Honda Motor Company Ltd. CEO
Running the world's biggest little automaker
Honda couldn't have had a V-8: No V-8, rear-drive (except for S2000) or body-on-frame trucks looks pretty smart right now.
On the other hand: Acura can't compete with Lexus and Infiniti without RWD or V-8s.
On the bright side: Fukui's promising fleet of high-fuel-mileage cars and trucks, including new dedicated hybrids, clean diesels, and the FCX fuel-cell car, are within two years away.
Can't wait for: The next CRX (CR-Z concept)
Probably can wait for: Heavier, front-engine, AWD NSX replacement.
23. John Krafcik, Hyundai USA VP product planning development, strategic planning
His cars only need a dose of enthusiast passion
Why he's dropped four places: Others have moved up while Hyundai has hit a sales wall, recently.
What about new models like Veracruz? It's a great Lexus RX competitor at a Toyota price, but doesn't break new ground.
What Krafcik must do: Hyundai excels in value and has vastly improved quality. Now Krafcik must bring on the kinds of cars and trucks car guys want.
What are the chances of that? The rear-drive, V-8-optional Genesis sedan and Tiburon replacement are a start.
24. Dave Richards, Prodrive CEO/Aston Martin dealmaker
Aston's savior: Richards. Dave Richards
A rookie? Really? Prodrive is a successful racing organization, not big enough alone to have placed Richards among the 50 most influential.
Why now? He brokered the deal for a group of Middle Eastern investors to buy the majority stake in Aston Martin.
Q won't like this: Sure, he will. What's more appropriate than oil profits going to buy an automaker that builds V-8 and V-12 sports cars?
What's next: Richards toured Jaguar facilities last summer, but looks likely to pass on buying Jag/Land Rover.
25. Mark LaNeve, GM North America VP sales, service and marketing
Better cars need smart marketing
Continuing efforts: Like last year, GM continues to cut sales to rental lots. Meanwhile, LaNeve is working to convert Pontiac, Buick, and GMC dealers into one sales organization. Grouping more Cadillac, Saab, Hummer dealers, too.
What good does that do? Better resale values from the former, less badge engineering from the latter.
Hey, how ya doin'? redux: Even as GM hybrids roll out and Volt plug-in hybrid production looms, LaNeve has the unenviable task of transforming the company's image to reflect its actions.
26. Don Esmond, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president, automotive operations
Toyota's last American standing?
Last year, we told you why the Americans could use him: This year, he's our highest-ranking American at Toyota, what with Press and Farley having departed.
What's he done? Continues to manage sellout of old models as replacements roll in. In the past year, that includes Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Matrix, Scion xB and xD.
Results: By the middle of its first year, new Tundra monthly sales approached 200,000 per year, Toyota's goal, even as pickup sales faltered thanks to the housing and mortgage crisis.
27. Jim Taylor, Cadillac division general manager
Running GM's lux division the old-fashioned way
Context: When GM had 50-percent-plus market share, each division was run separately, often competing with each other.
This relates to Taylor, how? Cadillac has regained some autonomy, with its own design studio (in a different context than the old days). And he's making Cadillac Standard of the World again, not just Standard of GM.
Success? Taylor has helped lead the careful rebuilding of Cadillac into a serious competitor for Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus.
Next challenge: An S-Class competitor that's as good as the CTS.
28. Dieter Zetsche, Daimler AG chairman
Oh, how the mighty have fallen
And that's from number two in 2006: Biggest thing Zetsche did last year was smoothly sell Chrysler to Cerberus, which he didn't relish after five years rebuilding Chrysler.
Did he really rebuild it? Good question. Chrysler's short-lived success, which came just as Mercedes was sucking euros, was largely thanks to its rear-drive LX models and the sport/utility boom. Zetsche left it without much product depth for the long-term.
Does he have a future? Maybe, if rebuilding Mercedes's quality reputation can overshadow the Chrysler debacle.
29. Carlos Ghosn, Nissan Motor/Regie Renault CEO
Oh, how the mighty have fallen II
Ghosn was our Number One most influential for 2005 and '06: He'd met and exceeded sales and financial goals for Nissan. Then he took on leadership of Renault.
And he can't handle it? Ask Zetsche how hard it is to keep two automakers on top at once.
So blame him? He's kneecapped Renault's talented design chief, Patrick le Quement, and appears to have done the same with Shiro Nakamura, who's reportedly unhappy with Nissan/Infiniti's conservative redesigns.
Saving grace: Three letters. GT-R.
30. Jim Press, Chrysler vice chairman, president
Toyota's top American moves to Auburn Hills
How the mighty have fallen, III? No. Press left the world's most powerful automaker last year to help rebuild the automaker with the most potential.
And the worst prospects: Yes. Chrysler needs to become a global automaker and needs to rationalize its product lineup. Press is well-suited for that job.
More influence: Press was Toyota's first non-Japanese board member, but was still lost in that organization. He can really change things at Chrysler.
Which might include a strip-and-flip: No question, despite Cerberus's constant denials.
31. Luca Cordero di Montezemelo, Fiat Auto chairman
Rebuilding Italy's automaker
Where he's been and where he's going: Updated and modernized Ferrari and Maserati. Now he's returning mainstream Fiat Auto (which includes Alfa Romeo and Lancia) to high profitability. He understands style makes these Italian brands stand out.
Influence on: Alfa Spider and Brera. Fiat Grand Punto and especially the 500.
Needs much work: Lancia still seems completely lost.
But first we have lunch: U.S. relaunch date for Alfa Romeo seemed to slip several times, now is set for '09.
32. Kazunori Yamauchi, Polyphony Digital president
More important, Gran Turismo 5 designer
Why he's influential: Has access to car designs before they're available to the public.
Been to Tokyo? Once certain cars are unveiled at the Tokyo show, you can "test drive" them at the Gran Turismo station just outside Makuhari Messe's main hall.
But what of that platform? GT's Sony PlayStation platform hasn't been as popular as Microsoft's Xbox 360 in recent years.
And yet: When GT5 launches for PlayStation3, it'll come with 60 frames/second hi-definition video and 16 competitors per race (up from six).
33. U.S. Representative John Dingell (D-Mich.)
No rookie to the automotive culture wars
Who? Has served Michigan's 15th district since 1955; chairs Energy and Commerce committee.
Influence on: Fight against draconian Corporate Average Fuel Economy proposals like Rep. Ed Markey's (D-Mass.) bill calling for 35 mpg for cars and trucks by 2020.
Dingell's alternative: His Carbon Tax Legislation proposes a $50 per ton tax on carbon emissions from coal, petroleum, natural gas production, a 50c per gallon tax on gas, jet fuel, and kerosene. Phases out the mortgage tax credit on homes of 3000 or more square feet.
34. Jim Farley, Ford vice President marketing and communications
Now he can drive his 1965 Cobra to the office
Exodus: Leaving Toyota, where he helped launch Scion, was bigger news than Jim Press leaving for Chrysler. Farley had 20-some years left at Toyota and could've climbed the ladder there at least as far as Press.
Big shoes? Ford notes Farley replaces Cisco Codina, who "retired" after 30 years. His responsibilities also encompass the job Elena Ford held before joining Ford Credit last August.
Bottom line: It's harder work marketing Fords than Toyotas. We'll soon find out how good Farley really is.
35. Dave Rand, GM director advanced design
Taking interior magic to concept cars
Where he's been: Saturn, Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, and GM's advanced studio, then interiors, where he vastly improved big truck, 2008 Malibu, CTS, Corvette interiors.
Where he is: Last year Rand was promoted to director of GM's advanced studio.
What that job is: Leading design for concept/show cars and well-advanced designs for future production models. Perhaps it's time for a modern Motorama?
Where he's headed: To being part of industry design dominance reminiscent of the Earl/Mitchell eras, this one led by Ed Welburn.
36. Bob Nardelli, Chrysler chairman
Can a GE/Home Depot veteran save Chrysler?
Is he a car guy? "I've got a Prowler, I've got a PT Cruiser, I've got a Jeep." Guess not.
Is he Chrysler's Zarella?: No. Spent most of his career at General Electric under Jack Welch, then led Home Depot by cutting costs and raising profits before taking a $210-million "golden parachute" when the board ousted him. Likely to cut models and costs rather than apply brand marketing better suited to light bulbs.
Bottom line: Can't help thinking Jim Press should've gotten this job.
37. Phil Murtaugh, Chrysler China chairman
Is he the real power behind Chrysler?
Job description: Chrysler was earliest into China with Beijing-built Jeep Wranglers, but is far behind Occidental and Japanese/South Korean competitors in local manufacturing. Murtaugh, who built Buick's China effort to what it is today, is organizing and economizing Chrysler in China.
Hidden under the job description? Murtaugh left GM China a few years ago for Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. One theory is that he's preparing Chrysler for a sale to SAIC.
Bottom line: Whatever his objective, Murtaugh is good for Chrysler.
38. Liz Pilibosian, Chief engineer, Cadillac CTS
Engineering the best Cadillac in 50 years
Total immersion: Pilibosian began working on and testing our 2008 Car of the Year in 2004. Earlier was engineering group manager for body closures and then director of noise and vibration engineering.
Influence on: Chevy Lumina/Pontiac Grand Prix/Olds Cutlass Supreme/Buick Regal, Chevy Lumina, Gen IV Camaro/Firebird, and Pontiac Montana.
Fun job (from her testing diary): "Love the road that winds down the Santa Rosa Mountains. Thousands of feet of elevation change in several miles, achieved via a countless series of twisty and hilly corners."
39. Hideki Suzuki, Chief designer Mazda CX-9
How to design a big, sporty crossover
Influence on: The CX-9, a large crossover SUV that has healthy injections of Mazda's Miata/RX-8-honed sports-car flavor.
Experience includes: Work at Mazda's Irvine, California, studio from 1997 to 2000. Chief designer on the '04 Mazda3.
He says: "We tried to achieve three things in this car: the emotional and sporty feeling which is our design DNA, prestigious feeling best suitable for a mid-class crossover SUV, and newness as a newcomer in this segment."
We say: Superiority, value, significance. Check, check, check.
40. Gene Stefanyshyn, GM global vehicle line executive, global rear-drive
Mr. Pontiac G8
Who is he? Canadian-born GM lifer with an engineering degree and MBA, has worked in manufacturing, engineering, finance, and planning.
Influence on: Saabs in the early '90s, and was vehicle line executive for midsize cars from 1995 to 2005.
Moved to Australia in 2005: To work on rear-drive Holdens, Pontiac G8, Chevy Camaro, new 2011 Buick and Cadillac models, and a rear-drive Impala.
Canadian in Oz: Down under, ice hockey remains his favorite pastime.
Bottom line: Key player in GM's rear-drive renaissance.
41. Peter Horbury, Ford Motor Company North American design chief
Designs American Fords
What he's done for us lately: Last year's Ford Interceptor concept and in 2006, the Super Chief pickup concept. Putting zing into big Fords.
Downside: Ford doesn't have money for big, rear-drive Fords like the Interceptor. Ford is moving toward international design, and with its concentration on smaller, front-drive cars and crossovers, Martin Smith has more power in the company's design hierarchy right now.
Bottom line: Should see some influence in the 2009 F-Series, but his American Ford designs have yet to gain traction.
42. Tom Stephens, Group vice president GM global powertrain and quality
A variety of engines for tougher EPA standards
What he's done for us lately: Developed powerful, efficient new direct-injection gas V-6s, a new high-feature V-8 for '09 and clean turbodiesels. Working on production of plug-in hybrids and fuel cells.
Problems with timing? If Congress chooses Ed Markey's bill over John Dingell's (see No. 33) on CAFE standards, Stephens will have needed new four-bangers, not V-6s and V-8s.
The Motor Trend perspective: Stephens's mix of modern, efficient engines, including the new V-8, is the right strategy for a company the size of GM.
43. Sergio Marchionne, Fiat Auto CEO
Fiat 500 is the new Mini
Why he's relevant: Marchionne is making the kinds of tough decisions that'll straighten out Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia. And he's bringing Alfa back to the States.
Why returning is tough: There's even more competition than when Alfa left the U.S. a decade ago. And the exact date of return seems to be constantly slipping.
Marchionne's arsenal: Brio, la dolce vita, call it what you will. Fiat, Alfa, and Lancia style, when properly harnessed, can run with or beat anything else in the world.
44. Jim Queen, GM group VP global engineering
Quietly leading the turnaround
Why he's relevant: Continues rationalizing GM's factories, so any vehicle on a given platform can be built in any factory that handles that platform. A long process, considering model cadences.
What that means to you: Fewer platforms for lower costs, with designs and features appropriate for each market.
Latest examples: Epsilon II, the Opel-based Saturn Aura, and the Chevrolet Malibu. If Saturn Astra and Chevy Cobalt/HHR are built on the same platform, Queen can build the Astra here and take advantage of the weak dollar.
45. Jay Leno, "Tonight Show" host
Talking is his job; cars are his passion
Tonight's car guy: "Late Show" host David Letterman may be the car-guy equal of "Tonight Show's" Jay Leno, but only Leno is happy to talk with anybody about cars. Go to jaylenosgarage.com and see his scuderia.
What's in his garage?: Everything from an 8.0-liter '31 Bentley to an '08 Can Am Spyder to a rear-drive '66 Toronado with LS1 power.
Clout: Last year, GM built a green sports car for him. This year, BMW gave him a hydrogen-powered 7 Series.
46. Ulrich Bez, Aston Martin chairman, CEO
"Mr. Aston" now has new owners
Diminishing influence? Bez tried to broker a sale of Aston Martin to private investors, but Ford wanted too much money. Last year, Prodrive's Dave Richards (see No. 24) instead found the right investors, and Bez remains an employee.
His next challenge: Bez must keep Aston on schedule with the 2011 Rapide and V12 Vanquish replacement.
Prospects: Building an all-new model isn't easy without a major automaker behind you, but if anyone has the passion to get a new Aston done, it's Bez.
47. Anna Kretz, GM Lambda platform vehicle line executive
Her Acadia and Enclave are successes
Influence on: The new breed of big crossover sport/utilities. Her Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave got GM out of the minivan business with no harm done. Previously Polish-born Kretz held several influential engineering jobs at Saturn, Buick-Oldsmobile-Cadillac, GM North American Operations, and the former Cadillac/Luxury Car division.
What's next: Working on the 2009 Chevy Traverse and '10 Buick Enclave Super with the high-feature V-8. Challenge with the Traverse is to maintain the brand delineation she achieved with the Outlook/Acadia/Enclave.
48. Luc Donckerwolke, SEAT design director
Following da Silva up the VW design ladder
Why you should care: VW hired da Silva from Alfa to design SEATs, and he quickly moved to Audi before becoming head of all of VW Group design. Peruvian-born Donckerwolke last year was promoted from Lamborghini design to SEAT. Seems likely the top job at Audi or VW is next.
What he needs to do next: SEAT gives Donckerwolke the chance to prove himself. It's more of a challenge to design popularly priced cars with Latin flair than Lamborghini's small, homogeneous lineup.
49. Tom LaSorda, Chrysler president, vice chairman
Is there life after UAW talks?
The situation: LaSorda was key to Chrysler last fall because of his labor relations acumen. He brokered a contract after a six-hour-long UAW strike, and the next day, Chrysler announced an additional 13,000 blue- and white-color layoffs, and that it would cut shifts at several plants.
The reality: While Chrysler says ex-Toyota guy Press (No. 30) is LaSorda's equal, Press will be pushing for better quality, so LaSorda must answer to him. LaSorda may fade into the background for about four years.
50. J Mays, Ford Motor Company Group vice president, design
Ford's celebrity designer hides in London
Where he's been: One of the most influential designers in the business, he became a household name, gaining mostly positive notoriety outside automobiledom.
Influential on: VW Concept 1 (New Beetle), Audi AVUS, Ford Fairlane, Shelby GR-1, Ford 427, Jaguar F-Type, Volvo Safety Concept Car.
Now responsible for: Shaping direction of Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, Mazda, Volvo. From London.
Why he's down here: As design "editor," he's charged with sorting Horbury versus Smith designs for global Ford models, but we haven't seen much leadership on this issue recently.
Power list to powerless: Anybody see Bernhard lately?
Flavio Briatore: Beat Ferrari with back-to-back Formula 1 championships for Renault and Fernando Alonso in 2005 and '06. Then Alonso moved to McLaren-Mercedes, and Briatore's Renault F1 dropped to the middle-back of the pack.2007 Rank: 20
Mark Fields: Ford's president for the Americas pitched a vague "Way Forward" before Mulally parachuted to the rescue. Fields rose up the ladder after getting credit for rebuilding Mazda and revitalizing the Premier Automotive Group. Presence of Mulally and Jim Farley (No. 34) has diminished Field's influence.2007 Rank: 22
Hau-Thai Tang: Ford's amiable, urbane director of product development for South American operations was running SVT until management kneecapped the performance division. He's learning production operations in Brazil while Ford promotes Derrick Kusak as its Bob Lutz. We're waiting for Tang's return to Dearborn.2007 Rank: 23
Bryan Nesbitt: Bob Lutz brought him to GM after Nesbitt led Chrysler PT Cruiser design. Nesbitt moved to Europe after a short stint in the U.S. Now he's in charge of North American design, but it's too early to judge work. Word is his next European midsize design is good enough to bring him back on the list, with a bullet.2007 Rank: 24
Anne Assensio: GM's ex-director of advanced design left Detroit abruptly last year to return to her native France. She was credited for leading design of the Buick Centieme (Enclave) and Velite, Hummer H3T, and Cadillac Sixteen's interior. It appears her coworkers didn't hold a going away party for her until she went away. 2007 Rank: 36
Carroll Shelby: The sharpest good ol' boy in overalls rode a wave of Shelby-inspired Ford products and concepts recently, but was pretty much relegated to endorsing fuel additives last year.

Later he got his prison sentence suspended after he agreed to donate one-trillion won ($1.09 billion!) to charity.2007 Rank: 47
Craig Jackson: Still runs the biggest classic car auction in the nation, but has scaled back this year's event 20 percent, citing "too much mud" last year.

Photo Gallery: show only photos (not albums)?
I'm a recent convert to Android (from iPhone) and am used to being able to see all the photos on my phone in one place.
Every app on the phone seems to create its own album withing the Gallery app. I'd like to have a view that only show just the photos (not individual albums associated with different apps).
Is there a setting to change this (or an alternative app)?
On Samsung Galaxy S3, 4.1.1 (Verizon)

Re: Photo Gallery: show only photos (not albums)?
Hey Argelius, welcome to Android! It's gonna be a great experience, I'm sure Unfortunately, not everything is peachy: Fragmentation is a b**ch. That being said, I need to ask: Which device are you using? Not all Android are born the same, and every manufacturer tends to tweak things to their own (sometimes demented) liking.
In my case, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and it has two ways to achieve what you want:
1) In the Gallery, there's an option to watch the pictures in a Square-by-Square layout (the normal view), a carousel, and a spiral view. The last two options always show all pictures regardless of which album they're stored in.
2) I think this option is general to all Android devices, but I can't really confirm that since my last two phones have been Samsung's, so it might be only a Sammy thing. Anyway, on the top of the Gallery there's an option to change how you want to view your pictures. The default is 'ALBUM', but you also get Time, Locations, Person (if your phone has face-tag enabled), Group, and Favorites. The option that would make it the closest to iPhone's Photo reel is 'TIME'.

A Short History of Tibet
Tibet, a remote region along the southwestern border of China, sits at 15,000 feet above sea level between the Himalaya and Kunlun mountain ranges. The first recorded king of the region was Srong-btsan sgam-po, who is credited with introducing Buddhism to Tibet around 640 AD. He and his descendants ruled over a unified Tibet through the 8th century, but the empire eventually collapsed into a collection of small independent kingdoms.
click for larger image including key
When Genghis Khan's forces marched through much of Asia around the turn of the 13th century, Tibetans managed to retain a good deal of autonomy and acquire some political influence by agreeing to pay tribute to the Mongols. When the Mongol empire collapsed, Tibetans asserted their independence from China, and power within the region became concentrated in the hands of a spiritual leader known as the Dalai...

Maybe the reason exoplanets so often surprise us is that we base our thinking on our own Solar System, and the minimum-mass Solar nebula from which it grew, considering this a template. The rest of the galaxy may have other ideas. Consider that close-in super-Earths are common. Planets like these, showing up in abundance in Kepler data and Doppler velocity surveys, are a challenge to explain. Laughlin and Chiang say that more than half, if not nearly all Sun-like stars have planets with radii between 2 and 5 times that of Earth and orbital periods of less than 100 days.
[. . .]
The problem, then, is that our Solar System has no planets inside Mercury's 88-day orbit. Is it possible our Solar System did not undergo the same kind of formation history that may be the dominant mode in the galaxy? To explore this, the researchers look at migration issues, for it is commonly thought that short-period planets formed several AU out from their stars and then migrated to their present location. But disk migration is poorly understood, and while it may be necessary to explain hot Jupiters, Laughlin and Chiang say it may not be the mechanism to explain the majority of planetary systems with super-Earths in inner orbits.
The alternative: Forget orbital migration and consider the possibility that super-Earths form right where they are, in circumstellar disks that extend inward from 0.5 AU.
[. . .]
Hot young stars should lack close-in super-Earths because they would be too hot for planetesimal-building dust to survive. Brown dwarfs and M dwarfs should have close-in super-Earths and Earths orbiting them. Close-in planets grown from close circumstellar disks should also have orbital planes aligned with the equatorial planes of their host stars. I'll send you to the paper to go through the entire list of predictions, all of which should allow these ideas to be probed, but I do want to mention one last prediction having a bearing on Centauri B b. For if Laughlin and Chiang are right, then binary systems offer a good test.
After all, close binary systems should make planetary migration extremely difficult. The close companion would disrupt planet formation at large distances from the star. Planets orbiting Centauri B inside the 0.5 AU boundary would be incompatible with migration, and of course, we now have such a planet, along with the likelihood of finding more. Here I drop back to the Science News article, which quotes Laughlin on Centauri B: "I think that the odds that there's an interesting planet, a truly interesting planet in the system, are very high, given that this one is there." And if he's right, that interesting, potentially habitable world may serve as further evidence for the theory that such planets formed right where they are found.

Any fan of British television knows Sir David Jason. He's grown up on the TV from a frustrated grocer's assistant with dreams of a bigger world in Open All Hours to his most famous character, Del-Boy Trotter, a Cockney criminal trying to make ends meet for his family in Only Fools and Horses to an older, tough but tender police detective in Touch of Frost. He continues to age gracefully as a criminal mastermind and thief named Des in the new box set available from Acorn Media titled Rough Diamond.
Jason's character, accompanied by various guest stars, including Simon Williams, Don Warrington, and Jenny Agutter, stars in four episodes totaling just under 300 minutes. Included on the DVDs are text interviews with the cast and cast filmographies. These are always helpful when playing my favorite game of "name what other show you've seen that guy on", which happens a lot with British television.
Of the four, the first episode titled "Rough Diamond" is the best. It was the pilot episode for the series that was originally called "Diamond Geezer" over the pond. We find our boy Des, a stuttering simpleton, locked up in jail. He's a fully trusted inmate charged with delivering tea to everyone, including the alpha dog of the prison, Benny Fellows (Gary Whelan). It's a front though, a plan Des has spent three long years working on for his one last heist. Just before putting his plan into action, fate throws a wrench in the works in the shape of Phil Perkins (Stephen Wight), a young tearaway hooligan sent to prison for stealing cans of lager. He is also Des' long lost son. Phil doesn't know Des is his dad but can see there is something oddly not right about the tea boy and tries to figure out what it is while also trying to prove he's a tough guy to Benny.
Des has to adapt his plan to keep his son from getting killed. It keeps getting further adjusted every time he lets the lad into his true identity a little more. There are so many twists to the episode, all of them good and surprising, that I really can't tell more without ruining it for you, so I won't. Let's just say that this episode alone is worth the price of admission.
As I watched the other episodes – I enjoyed them all, by the way – I couldn't help but wonder if they were a rushed afterthought. I remember thinking that perhaps the original episode was written as more of a standalone TV movie. The producers, surprised to find the episode in the top five most watched shows of the year, decided to ride the horse a bit longer. I enjoyed the second episode, "A Royal Affair" and the fourth, "Old School Lies" the best while finding the third, "Old Gold", while well done, the least engaging.
Having said that, the show is definitely a great vehicle for Sir David Jason. He gives Des a touch of sly wit and charm that makes the character so endearing. He appears to relish all the disguises and characters he gets to play here and it really shows off his ability and range.
The twists and turns will keep you guessing, David Jason will keep you engaged, and you will truly enjoy watching Rough Diamond.Powered by Sidelines

A calorie (small c) is also known as a small calorie. It's equal to the amount of energy required to heat 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius… which isn't a lot.
What's seen on food and beverage listings is a Calorie (note the capital C). This is equivalent to the amount of energy needed to heat 1 kilogram of water that same 1° C.—quite a bit more. This is the Calorie referred to when you're discussing a 1,200-Calorie-a-day diet. No wonder it's tough to lose those pesky extra pounds!Powered by Sidelines

Aretha Franklin Weight Loss Surgery (PHOTOS)
Rumors are running rampant that the mystery medical procedure that Aretha Franklin had is December was gastric bypass surgery, based upon the fact that the singer has shed 85 lbs. in the past three months.
Franklin, 68, sat down for a two-part interview that will air on Access Hollywood next week. She gives clues that the surgery she had did help her to lose weight but was vague about exactly what she had done. She said: "It was definitely not the bariatric or, what is it, gastric by... Yeah, I can't even tell you the correct name for it."
She went on to say: "It's really not necessary to talk about one's personal medical health. The doctor did say to me: 'Mrs. Franklin, you are going to feel better than you have felt maybe in 10 or 15 years. The surgery that you had is going to add 15 years to your life.'"
Check out Aretha's startling then and now photos. Keep in mind, these were taken before the weight loss -- so the comparison was showcasing her weight gain rather than her weight loss.
Check out a recent photo of Aretha below:

Dear colleagues and friends:
As many of you know, the Boston Adult Congenital Heart (BACH) and Pulmonary Hypertension (PHT) program was created in 1990 and began accepting patients in 1992. It was formed in response to the highly specialized needs of a rapidly expanding patient population: Adults with Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD). As we expected, the number of patients and families cared for by BACH has grown and grown, and thankfully, so has our team.
Dedicated to being a partner of choice to local, regional, national and international clinicians, our current caregiver group consists of full time staff cardiologists, additional dedicated staff cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, mid-level practitioners, dedicated fellows, and two administrators.
Cardiology staff:
Michael Landzberg, MD, director, BACH service
Thomas Johnson, MD
Paul Khairy, MD, PhD
Mary Mullen, MD, PhD
Keri Shafer, MD
Michael Singh, MD
Laurence Sloss, MD
Anne Marie Valente, MD
Fred Wu, MD
BACH surgeons:

Mid-level practitioners:

We welcome you and your patients to the BACH program. We look forward to partnering with you to provide the highest level of care and education for your patients.
The BACH Team
The advanced fellowship program in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) and pulmonary hypertension is a two-year multi-institutional program at Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. The program accepts 2 fellows each year. This program places candidates on a career pathway that gives them a solid foundation and accomplishment for program building and leadership in the field of ACHD. The ACGME approved ACHD fellowship is designed as a two-year curriculum and meets the requirements set forth by the ABIM and ABMS to allow fellows to be Board-eligible for ACHD specialty certification. The goal of the fellowship is to train leaders in the field of adult congenital heart disease, with an emphasis on clinical excellence, innovative research, and education. The clinical program includes training in outpatient and inpatient care with collaboration of multidisciplinary programs including pulmonary vascular disease, advanced heart failure, aortic conditions and connective tissue disorders, electrophysiology, exercise physiology, cardiac imaging, interventional cardiology, quality initiatives and pregnancy and cardiovascular disease. Fellows actively participate in dedicated conferences to discuss management issues in ACHD patients. To apply to the ACHD senior fellowship program, you may download application here.
To apply to our fellowship program, you will need to submit an application.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

This AK-22 is manufactured by Armscor of the Philippines, the company that brings us their excellent 1911 pistols that perform so very well. Action type is, of course, blowback semi-auto, and it is a direct descendant of the Remington 550-1 rifles that are still in service after 60 years. Action is not at all Kalashnikov, so this rifle is not proscripted by anti-AK State and Local laws. Sights are correct elevation adjustable square notch rear and hooded blade front with authentic pistol grip and faux gas tube assembly. Magazines are 10 round blue steel, housed in a correct-looking and fitting short curved AK type housing. Forend and buttstock are classic dark stained AK Vietnam Era styling. Barrel is 18 1/4 inch blue steel with 1:16 rifling, and receiver is anodized alloy. Weight empty is a well balanced 7 pounds. Sling is 1 1/2 inch black military style, and it attaches easily to the permanent swivels. We have sold substantial numbers of this brand rifle with good results since the 1970s, when the 550-1 phased out and the Filipino manufacturers filled the gap with a good quality economically priced rifle marketed under the Squibman and K-Mart brands, then Armscor. ARMSCOR uses, writes the factory, only high grade ordnance steel for all major parts for durability and mechanical reliability even in the most adverse operating conditions. Instruction manual and magazine indicates high velocity .22 ammo; our local customers have always had best results with Winchester, Federal, and Aguila coppercoated ammunition. This is a good little rifle, but it is NOT a garbage-mouthed Ruger 10/22. Own the rifle in the photo or one of its identical mates for only $ 229.95.
