Just 11 days shy of his 41st birthday - he'll be the oldest driver on the F1 circuit when he comes back - Schumacher said he's signed a three-year contract with Mercedes GP and that he'll return to the track for the opening race of the 2010 season in Bahrain on March 14. His will be the highest-profile return to F1 since Austrian Niki Lauda came out of a two-year retirement to race for McLaren in 1982. Lauda, who was 33 at the time, went...
...will Schumacher be able to adjust to the changes that have been made to the sport's rules since he last raced at the end of 2006?

Unlike the typical workplace, here employees know exactly how much a company - and each individual - is making. "There's a value in dealing with an informed workplace," says Kiel. In terms of problems that can arise, including safety, production and theft concerns, "if people feel...
