General Motors spending $44M to expand engine-building capacity at Corvette plant in Kentucky
– canadianbusiness.com
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – General Motors says it will spend $44 million to increase engine-building capacity at the Kentucky plant that makes Corvette sports cars.
The automaker said Wednesday that it will add 36 jobs as part of the investment to expand capacity in the Performance Build Center at the Bowling Green Assembly plant. It says construction and tool rearrangement is scheduled to start next month.
GM says the increased capacity is fueled by the success of the Corvette Z06, which accounts for nearly one-third of all Corvettes produced at the plant in south-central Kentucky.
Plant manager Kai Spande says GM has committed $483 million to the Bowling Green plant this year.
In May, the company said it was spending $439 million for a new paint shop and facility upgrades.

AP EXPLAINS: What’s bitcoin? A look at the digital currency after police raid Australia home
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Australian police raided a home and office Wednesday that, according to technology websites, belongs to the founder of the virtual currency, bitcoin. However, the origin of the currency remains murky, as is the identity of the founder. Here’s a brief explanation of what bitcoins are, how exchanging the digital money works and why it’s popular among some denizens of the web.
BITCOINS ARE VIRTUAL MONEY
Bitcoin is an online currency that allows people to make one-to-one transactions, buy goods and services and exchange money across borders without involving banks, credit card issuers or other third parties. Transactions can be made anonymously, making the currency popular among people who want to conceal their financial activity. As a result, this exotic form of money has become popular with libertarians as well as tech enthusiasts, speculators — and criminals. Bitcoins are basically lines of computer code that are digitally signed each time they travel from one owner to the next…
