...full terms of the contract have not been disclosed - and will be reunited with Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn, who masterminded all seven of his titles, the first two with Benetton in 1994 and 1995 and the subsequent five with Ferrari from 2000-2004. "The motivation is pretty straightforward," said Schumacher. "I got a call from Ross at the beginning of November asking me to race again, telling me Mercedes were going to be involved. I've never left the racetrack and after three years I regained the energy I'm feeling now. After playing around on motorbikes...

This method of calculating unemployment was pioneered by the head of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor in 1878, and it has its merits. It's simple. It's straightforward. And it provides a pretty accurate count of those who really, really want jobs. But it also misses millions of people who may not be actively looking for a job but would happily take one if offered. Those ranks surely swell in a deep recession or during a time of economic turmoil that destroys entire job categories (like autoworker). The government's statisticians are aware of this, and since...

...clip opens with some fairly straightforward footage of Woods' driveway, presumably shot from a news helicopter. But then things jump into three badly animated dimensions: a 3-D cop is shocked - shocked! - to hear of Tiger's accident and rushes to the scene only to find a inconsolable Barbie-like Elin Nordegren, crouched over her husband's unconscious body. But wait! After a shaky dissolve, the story changes. In the retelling, Nordegren has found out about Woods' alleged infidelities; animated, massively conjectural craziness ensues. (See the top 10 cheats...

...applying a checklist of criteria spelled out by the agency and providing documentation that the cells meet all of the requirements exactly. This review, says Collins, boils down to NIH staff agreeing that all the necessary criteria for inclusion have been met. Approval of some lines may be less straightforward if certain requirements have not been met to the letter. For instance, since stem-cell lines are drawn from unused embryos donated to research by couples undergoing the IVF procedure, researchers must offer proof that each couple was fully informed of all their options for discarding excess embryos...
