[Updates - Here's an item on Nissan's partnerships, including comments by CIO Linda Goodspeed, on NashvillePost.com. And, here are the Nissan release and the Obama Administration's release about a $1.6Bn loan to Nissan to upgrade its TN plant for the electric car. Lest they be forgotten, here's the TFP's June 24 story on Volkswagen hiring moving apace.]
