Cute, but delicate!
Bought this tank and wore it with white shorts, got lots of compliments! Would give it a 5 except it's soooo delicate! It comes with a tag warning how delicate it is... snagged mine the first time I wore it, but was able to pull snag through the other side so you couldn't see it. I will definitly be more careful next time!!

Picture Doesn't Do it Justice
This is one of those slubby tops that you want to pair with jeans or boyfriend shorts. It's a very relaxed fit and you definitely must wear something underneath (otherwise you can see everything below with utmost clarity). I noticed that because of the type of yarn used, this sweater tank snags quite easily. So buyer, you're on notice!
June 13, 2013
So cute!
Love this sweater! Goes great with jeans and dress pants for a casual or more dressy look. Very soft material. Comfortable.
June 2, 2013
Sweet sweater tank!
I was debating between this sweater tank the and open weave sweater tank that the Limited has out right now and ultimately this won me over. As the previous reviewer mentioned, this is more of a tan in person with a subtle silver thread running through it. Though this is somewhat see through, it's not as much as the open weave tank. This could be warn with a nude bra for an edgier/sexy look. I think this would look cute with white cut-off's and wedges or heels. Better in person!
May 14, 2013
Love this top!
Salesgirl in store recommended. It is such a nice top for summer. Light weight and airy, subtle silver in the fabric with added silver around neck and arms. Comfortable. The color shown online is more golden. It's a nice neutral tan color that would look great with white pants and necklace.

Sarah Palin campaigns for Ted Cruz in Houston
Tea Party holds event in the Woodlands
Former Alaska governor and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was in the Houston area Friday to campaign for the Tea Party's pick for the U.S. Senate.
Palin and candidate Ted Cruz held a rally in The Woodlands.
"She's wonderful we love her," supported John Meehan said.
Meehan is a voter and planned to attend Friday's rally with Palin and a handful of other conservatives all backing Cruz, the former Texas Solicitor Lieutenant General, in the GOP primary runoff.
"The campaign is doing well, momentum is off the charts," said Ted Cruz.
Cruz faces Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in a race that has made headlines for both the nasty tone of television political ads and the millions of dollars the candidates are spending to win the race.
Dewhurst, who is backed by Gov.Rick Perry, voiced concern earlier this week about voter turnout in a late summer runoff.
"A lot of people thinking about their families are away, but this is an important election." he said.
The runoff is July 31.

The East (2013)
The East Synopsis
The East
, a suspenseful and provocative espionage thriller from acclaimed writer-director Zal Batmanglij and writer-actress Brit Marling, stars Marling as former FBI agent Sarah Moss. Moss is starting a new career at Hiller Brood, an elite private intelligence firm that ruthlessly protects the interests of its A-list corporate clientele. Handpicked for a plum assignment by the companys head honcho, Sharon (Patricia Clarkson), Sarah goes deep undercover to infiltrate The East, an elusive anarchist collective seeking revenge against major corporations guilty of covering up criminal activity. Determined, highly-trained and resourceful, Sarah soon ingratiates herself with the group, overcoming their initial suspicions and joining them on their next action or jam. But living closely with the intensely committed members of The East, Sarah finds herself torn between her two worlds as she starts to connect with anarchist Benji (Alexander Skarsgård) and the rest of the collective, and awakens to the moral contradictions of her personal life.

Its an unfortunate fact, but many indie movies are fairly difficult to track down.

A man pumps gasoline at a Shell station on the east side of Manhattan in New York. / Stan Honda, AFP/Getty Images file
That early winter break you've been getting at the gasoline pump? It's beginning to show signs of cracking.
Gasoline prices remain below $3 a gallon in at least 50% or more outlets in 14 states. But the national average has crept up three cents to $3.30 a gallon the past week and 8 cents since hitting a 2012 low of $3.22 in mid-December.
It's likely to get worse in the coming weeks. Crude oil prices are up about $10 a barrel the past month, with benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude closing at $93.09 a barrel Friday, finishing the week up 2.5%.
"The celebration is over,'' says Patrick DeHaan, senior energy analyst at gasbuddy.com, which operates 250 North American price-tracking websites. DeHaan expects prices to rise another 35 cents a gallon through early April before peaking at about $3.95 a gallon. That's on par with 2012's $3.94 peak and but below 2008's record $4.11.
Still, DeHaan and the auto club AAA expect 2013 gas to average less than $3.60 a gallon, ending a string of record high averages since 2008. Last year, the average price of gas was about $3.61 a gallon, up from $3.52 in 2011.
Despite decreasing demand, last year's prices were impacted by both global oil prices and limited refinery capacity. Refinery shutdowns and reduced production in California, Washington and Illinois caused both regional and national wholesale prices to surge before seasonal demand slumped in the fall. Pump prices fell nearly 15% from Sept. 14 to Dec. 22, according the AAA, on falling demand and higher inventories.
DeHaan expects less volatility and smaller price hikes in the Midwest and West Coast, but refinery woes could again plague the market.
"Americans think there should be this magic formula based on oil supplies. But refineries are the big wildcard," he says. "And even with higher energy production, increased fuel efficiency and lower consumption, we still may face rising gas prices.''

"What every parent would wish as the best for his or her children, Waldorf education provides. The fullest development of intelligent, imaginative, self-confident and caring persons is the aim of Waldorf education. This aim is solidly grounded in a comprehensive view of human development, in an intellectually rich curriculum, and in the presence of knowledgeable, caring human beings at every stage of the child's education."
Dr. Douglas Sloane, Professor of Education
"The importance of storytelling, of the natural rhythms of daily life, of the evolutionary changes in the child, of art as the necessary underpinning of learning, and of the aesthetic environment as a whole--all basic to Waldorf education for the past 70 years--are being 'discovered' and verified by researchers unconnected to the Waldorf movement."
Paul Bayers, Professor Columbia Teachers' College
"Waldorf graduates are taught to question, not to accept ideas and conventions based solely on authority, but to think for themselves."
From Learning to Learn, Interviews with Waldorf graduates
"Education is not a race where the prize goes to the one who finishes first. To help young children develop a lifelong love of learning we need to respect and strengthen their individual abilities."
The Alliance for Childhood
"Flexible, agile fingers in childhood lead to mobile, creative thinking in adult life."

there is now a 48hr countdown.
Phoronix: The SteamBox Countdown Is Complete
The SteamBox countdown page just expired!..
there is now a 48hr countdown.
And the first thing is SteamOS. So I guess the next presentation is steambox, has it is a circle instead a rectangular box. Third presentation I guess it is streaming from a steam server.
Linux distribution called SteamOS, not very impressing news, yet. Hopefully more to come.
Sound like a nvidia shield like OS.
It does mention that multiple AAA games will be comming to the Linux platform in 2014.
Not too impressive, we all knew this was coming. We want details!
Will it use X or Wayland? I know they said X at some point, but it's not like a binding promise. The webpage speaks of audio improvements (better latency etc.) Will this mean Valve will contribute to ALSA/Pulseaudio or are they making their own sound system? Frankly, the last thing Linux needs is another sound system...
Will it use systemd? Will it be compatible with non-steam games and all regular Linux applications? Can it be used as a general-purpose OS or is it limited to only function as a steam client?
This update gave more questions than answers.
Looks like the plan for supporting old Windows games will be to play them on Windows, but give it input from the Steam box and return a multimedia output stream for the Steambox to feed to the tv. Too bad they aren't backing Wine to make that better for supporting old games more directly without the need for 2 machines running. At the least I would like an option to launch Wine + Windows games from the Linux Steam client itself if only to play the many classic games that do already run great from Wine that have no chance of ever getting ported.
Was a bit surprised this first announcement was about the SteamOS, but I guess the general public probably weren't as aware of it as those of us around these parts and come to think about it I guess this is the first official announcement about it from Valve themselves.

Even though it might not be that big of a surprise it is an incredible smart move by Valve. With SteamOS, Steam for Linux/Mac/Windows they are essentially hitting all targets (disregarding mobile, at least for now. Gabe hinted that mobile also was in their plans). Providing that Valve also will be able to offer other services than games this could be a major threat to the Xbox One and PS4.
Think we all knew SteamOS was coming since Michael said Valve was looking for Linux experience and it doesn't necessarily have to be Linux game experience. I wonder what they did to improve graphic performance other than including binaries from AMD and Nvidia. I wonder if they will use BFS instead of CFS.

The 2000s saw many positive changes in the wizarding community of Britain, such as the removal of Dementors from Azkaban, massive reforms in the Ministry included the removal of pro-pureblood laws and discrimination laws against Half-breeds were abolished.

- 2003: Two Muggle dog-walkers are accidentally transported to a Celestina Warbeck concert after their dogs run off with an old trainer (which was actually a Portkey scheduled to take a crowd of witches and wizards from Clapham Common there). One of the dog-walkers was even invited by Celestina to perform a duet of "A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love" — and, even though a harried Ministry official performed a Memory Charm on him at the time, he has since returned to the Muggle world and written a popular song that bears an uncanny resemblance to Ms. Warbeck's worldwide hit (not to her amusement, though).[4]
- 2006: Burkina Faso defeats France in the final of the 425th Quidditch World Cup. The Burkinabé Seeker, Joshua Sankara, is promptly named Minister for Magic of his country, altough he resigns just two days after taking office, as he would much rather play Quidditch.[2]

Export-Import Bank gives while other agencies take
Friday - 11/16/2012, 12:48pm EST
Fred Hochbert, president, Export-Import Bank
New figures show one agency had a banner year. The Export-Import Bank, which lends money to American companies that do business abroad, had a record number of transactions in fiscal 2012.
Fred Hochberg, the Export-Import Bank president told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp there were two good reason for the bank's success.
"One, we're on an export upswing," he said. "Exports topped $2.1 trillion last year. Never have we done more exports than we did in 2011. And two, the other thing that's not as good is the financial markets are still kind of weak. So, one of the reasons we've had to step in is to make sure we keep those exports going and the jobs being created. We need to step in sometimes and help finance those exports."
Fred Hochberg, president, Export-Import Bank
The bank is not subsidized; rather, it collects a fee for the work it does, which covers all of the agency's administrative costs and loan-lost reserves. "On top of that, in fiscal 2012, we sent the Treasury $1.1 billion," Hochberg said. "Subsidy usually means you get something from the government. We actually contribute to the government."
While the Export-Import Bank is able to offer low-interest loans like other banks, its loans are backed by the "full faith and credit of the U.S. government," Hockberg said.
"We did almost $36 billion worth of approved loans and most of those loans go to foreign buyers so that they can buy U.S. goods," he said. "Very few of them actually go to U.S. companies. Most of them go to their customers."
Bright future ahead for U.S. exports
Looking down the road to the next four or five years, Hochberg expects to see the large upswing in exports to continue.
"We make a difference in two areas, long-term loans and small business," he said. "Those two areas I believe are going to still have trouble getting lending from banks for quite some time to come.
According to the 2012 Annual Report, the bank has not only been posting good numbers, its employees are more productive as well.
Part of the workforce's success is its collaborative nature. "People have found a lot of shortcuts," Hochberg said. "We've eliminated things like Credit Committee, so the career staff of the bank can approve loans up to $10 million. There's a process for that, but the point is, we've delegated more authority to our employees and we've tried to therefore cut cycle time."
Using this process, the bank has been able to process 98 percent of all loans within 100 days and 90 percent within 30 days.
Helping business succeed overseas
The bank's role is to help companies that are having a difficult time finding financing due the nature of the products they produce — satellite, nuclear power plants or large commercial aircraft — or the countries they are selling products to.
"U.S. companies are sometimes selling to countries that are hard to finance into," Hochberg said. "Kazakhstan, South Africa, Colombia, these are more difficult markets for banks to be comfortable in. So, we try to fill the gap on products that are hard to finance and countries that are hard to finance."
The Export-Import Bank conducts extensive credit reviews of its customers and reports its default rates to Congress every 90 days. "Our defaults right now are running about one-third of 1 percent," he said.
Currently, the bank operates in 178 countries and is waiting for the State Department and President Obama to make a decision about whether it can begin doing business in Burma.
"There's certainly a keen interest in Burma," Hochberg said, but added the "real action" for U.S. exports is in emerging markets like India, Turkey, China, South Africa and Mozambique.
"I think a lot of those countries are going to be still growing strong," he said. "Some of the fastest growing countries in the world today are actually in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa."
What makes Hochberg optimistic about the emerging markets is the growing middle class in those countries, something key he said U.S. businesses should be building their exports on.
"Why I'm so optimistic and bullish is the continuing emergence of the middle class globally," he said. "We're looking at more than a billion additional people entering the middle class by the end of this decade."
All of the bank's good news and optimism comes in the wake of a bumpy authorization process that wrapped up last May, when President Obama signed the bank's three- year re-authorization.
"At the end of the day, that was a bipartisan agreement but a hard-fought agreement," Hochberg said. "Partly, we're having a little bit of a debate in this country of what is the role of the government? Does government have a role in helping create jobs and helping businesses succeed. That was partly what that debate was about last spring."

Perfect Jeans!!!!!
This jeans fits perfectly!!! The fabric feels great... The color is vivid!! Love it!!!
July 31, 2013
Vibrant skinny jeans!
If you like color and a great fit then these skinny jeans are for you! I bought the red and was a little disappointed that they weren't a deeper shade of red. I got over that fast and I like these jeans a lot. They fit nicely and and don't stretch out too much like other skinny jeans.
July 12, 2013
I was looking forward to buying baby pink jeans. I usually wear the 917, which I absolutely love and fit great. The 678 jeans did not fit as I expected. They stretched out so much, it's like wearing boyfriend jeans. I spoke to a sales associate and she did recommend that I buy them a size smaller. I've never had jeans stretch out so much even after I washed and dried them. I am disappointed with the fit, however I still wear them but just cuff the bottoms. I'll stick with the 917's from now on.
July 11, 2013
Love them!
I've been looking for red jeans for a while and I'm happy I finally got these (and on sale!). They fit a little snugger than some blue ones I bought maybe a year ago, but still fit. I was a little wary of the color on the computer, and was afraid it would be too bright of a red, but I was happy when I received them.
June 26, 2013
Every color fits different
I have this pair of jeans in white and black. There are very nice jeans. I tried to get them in red but they ran a little to big. These jeans tend to stretch so I'd go a size down. I usually wear a 2 or a 4 but at the limited I wear a 0. Again, there jeans run big and each pair, even the same colors might fight a little different. I'd recommend trying them in store.
June 21, 2013
Love This!!
These jeans are flattering and super comfortable. I wish I had gotten more colors.
June 10, 2013
Great Fit and Very Comfy!
Love these skinnies! Great material and quality alongside comfort. I'm a 0 and its perfect on my, waist and length! (I'm 5'4) Not too tight yet just skinny enough, I have a lot of their colors in this style!
June 10, 2013
I want one in every color
I love these skinny jeans. They fit well and come in so many colors.

FAST and efficient international disaster victim IDentification
A project is under way to create the first ever police database to identify and link missing persons and unidentified bodies on an international level.
The FAST and efficient international disaster victim IDentification (FASTID) Project was launched on 1 April 2010 with an overall budget of almost EUR 3 million, co-funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) – Theme no. 10 Security.
Thanks to INTERPOL and its Consortium partners – the German Federal Criminal Police Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), the IOSB and IGD Institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Germany, the Danish company PlassData, the University of Dundee in Scotland and Crabbe Consulting Ltd – the project will establish an international system to manage enquiries concerning missing persons and unidentified bodies in the event of disasters as well as day-to-day policing.
Filling a gap in data exchange
To date, no centralized police database exists either on a regional or global level in order to identify and link missing persons and/or unidentified bodies (MPUB).
Some countries are running national MPUB databases and using the "DVI International" software from Plassdata (a software maker) for Disaster Victim Identification but these are not interlinked.
The need to create an international MPUB database was recognized in a resolution (AG-2005-RES-07) adopted at the INTERPOL General Assembly meeting in 2005 (Berlin, Germany).
As a result, an INTERPOL Working Group was set up to establish the general requirements for the database and a project proposal for funding.
Decentralized access
The MPUB database at INTERPOL's General Secretariat in Lyon will have decentralized access for use in conjunction with disasters and everyday policing.
It will be based on INTERPOL's Ante-Mortem (AM) Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) and Post-Mortem (PM) DVI forms together with Yellow Notice (missing persons) and Black Notice (unidentified bodies) forms.
Currently accepted minimum international standards for the collection of data to identify victims and software will serve as a starting point, while rich Internet application methods and additional identification techniques will enhance the system.
The database will include its own search capabilities for some identifiers and will interface with other databases for others, for example, fingerprints, DNA.
It will be accessible to INTERPOL National Central Bureaus and DVI teams via INTERPOL's I-24/7 and https (secured Internet) communication systems. It will be integrated and synchronized with INTERPOL's I-link in order to ensure coherent and consistent data in both systems.
Comprehensive training
A users' guide will be designed to facilitate standard reporting and explain the terminology used in the INTERPOL forms to ensure the proper quality of the data recorded and appropriate international use.
This will form the foundation for a full online training programme that will be developed using the most effective and efficient means to guarantee that countries and organizations adopt a common operational methodology.
Forensic research
Research will be conducted into image retrieval methods for assisting forensic identification with respect to faces, body modifications (e.g. tattoos), jewellery and clothing.
3D morphing, craniofacial reconstruction and superimposition approaches will also be examined for this application. Those that provide the best results will be integrated into the core system.

I remember reading that they have been working on something similar. Fusion or some such.
Maybe not right forum but wow, have you seen this. Intel integrates HD video into main processor. Results seem good. The conclusion would seem to be depressing for AMD.
I've used AMD on my last four builds and have been fairly happy with price and performance. Any moves by AMD along the same line regarding integration? Any negatives to the combination not being reported?
I remember reading that they have been working on something similar. Fusion or some such.
Yeah, we looked at making a two-die solution (eg CPU plus 785 IGP) on the same substrate but there didn't seem to be enough benefits to force a socket change at this point. We're going straight to a one-die solution :
Kinda like an Athlon X4 plus one of the "Redwood" HD5xxx mobile GPUs we just announced, but on the same die.
It's probably worth reading the comments on the review that forum1793 linked.

Adding 2 dices is no new solution. amd could have done that long ago, but no they needed to wait for a 1 chip solution. When you look at the history of the phenom quads, do you think that was the right way? All you do is losing time against intel. Not even the speed was higher in most of the benchmarks against the intel double dual cores. The integration of the igp of latest intel cpus was done not because it was easier/cheaper than produceing 2 chips it was done to eliminate other onboard solutions. All other solutions must be more expensive as they require dedicated gfx chips with extra memory as shared memory solutions are more or less impossible. For amd this is not that critial as they already gained lots of market share for their own chipsets, there is just for reducing the price. The price is the one and only way where amd can compete, definitely not with speed for desktop cpus. For server systems with lots of cpus the world seems to look a bit more friendly for amd but on desktop amd is about 1 year or more behind intel. That all began because the huge delay of the first amd quad cores. intel q6600 was out when amd just had an idea but no product.
Despite my dislike of AMD gpu's and their linux support for them, I hope AMD catches intel with a good solution in Fusion. No one wants to be dependent on one company. For system-on-a-chip solutions that will be heavily used in netbook and hand-held devices and have good support in linux will be a major milestone for linux adoption.

Excellent point. I did not notice those. I just assumed Tom's would do a fair comparison. Starts to look a little biased if they deliberately picked a slower chip. I have't kept up with AMDs PCU speeds over last year and don't know yet either way.
I thought there might be some type of thermal problem with integrating a decent gpu with the cpu. Are both slowed down to compensate or is there better thermal management or just more efficient?
Edit: what about overclocking? While I don't often think about it, it would be hard with the integration wouldn't it? Seems like there would be timing issues.

Not sure how good/fair 3DMark Vantage 1.0.2 CPU is but you can see a comparison.
Reviewing the article, they're saying the new i3 and i5 are dual core and have integrated graphics. So they compared against what they said (at the time) was the fastest AMD dual core. Looking at the chart above in the link, the 550 is still very near to AMD's fastest dual core.
Would it be more fair to compare AMD's best quad to intel's souped up dual core? They do say the intel dual core had higher voltage but we also have to consider that used for the gpu. Maybe could compare on a cost point? But that fluctuates widely with time.
Edit: Looking at costs between 550 and i5 shows 1:2 ratio. That does add some perspective.
AMD, you're just going to have to get closer. That cash infusion from intel from the lawsuit should help.

I'll vote for ARM Cortex-A9 + DSP . But the comment section on http://www.osnews.com/story/22704/In..._ARM_Cortex-A9 let me down (ARM avaibility, and their SoC cost. Heck)
Intel CPU + GPU = More processing horse power with adequate graphic acceleration
AMD Fusion = Less processing power with nicer graphic acceleration
@Forum 1793:
Tomshardware IS popular with their BIASED comparison (hm.. maybe they've been bought by *****? )
Yep The video convinced me that if gpu acceleration be integrated into ARM chips it can match intel atom performance-wise. Which is good newsI'll vote for ARM Cortex-A9 + DSP

Love This Top
I love the look and feel of this top! The arm openings are a little too loose for me, having skinny arms. I probably should have went with an xs instead of a small.
November 7, 2013
Nice Shirt
This shirt is pretty easy to like. It is lightweight and doesn't need an iron. Although I wished it had been a tad longer but I am 5'9. It is slightly see through so I do need a tank or cami underneath. I am thin and wear a small and it fit just right.
October 2, 2013
Great Versatile Shirt
This shirt is great to dress up as well as dress down. I've worn it to work with nice pants and also on the weekend with jeans. It was a great purchase!

I love this shirt because it fits very comfortably and it's a light material. I will recommend it to my friends.

Versatile top
This top is so comfortable on the skin, fits great! Breathable material. You might need to wear a tank underneath. I didn't get that from the other reviewers but it's a bit sheer. But I love it!
September 13, 2013
Very pleased with this purchase
I bought the black, polka dot version of this! Like others have said, "mesh" isn't a great word to describe this, it looks and feels very high quality! Not too sheer either. It felt a little snug at first (I always buy an XS in shirts from The Limited), but wore nice throughout the day.
I paired it with a blue pair of Exact Stretch Cropped Pants, gold ball earrings that are no longer available and black heels.
September 9, 2013
Great colors!
This is a great shirt!! I was apprehensive about the sheerness but a thin tank top is perfect under it. And it also doesn't seem "fragile" despite being sheer. I was impressed with the brightness of the colors too. Paired it with a white skirt and gold jewelry. Love it!!!
September 4, 2013
Fav Blouse!
This has become my favorite work blouse. I even ordered two more in different colors but the same cut. You can wear this with suit pants or jeans!

The alarm went off at 7AM for the first day of fifth grade. My dad was in his suit walking out the door as he heard me grumble and get up. "Life sucks and then you die," he greeted me. This is the first of a thousand similar morning greetings he would say as he suited up and walked out the door to work. I always thought this was just my Dad's "thang."

There's a theory of mine. Ok, it's not just *my* theory, I've actually read a book, watched a documentary and heard a famous comedian talk about it. It's called the "Pro You Decision" theory. See, I'm a big believer of making your own fate. I think there's a lot of self fulfilling prophecy out there. If someone is always feeling like a loser who can't lose weight, I'm fairly sure they're going to be a loser who can't lose weight. If you take that same person and shift their mind in to a positive "I can totally lose weight! I'm able to make those decisions to move in that direction!" I think eventually it will happen.

"How can you share everything from your life to The Internet?" This is a question I've been getting asked since 2003. I give the exact same answer I gave before blog ads existed, conferences were popular or marketing pitches went out en mass: "I don't." There is a vast difference between sharing all your personal information and sharing fun, personal stories. Believe it or not, most bloggers still filter their content. As personal as the stories I have shared throughout my time online, there are many details of my life nobody knows except those involved.

Rain - adapt to win |
Tuesday, 30 January 2007 16:00
Back in the founding years of Formula 1, it was enough to glance up at the sky. Today, the teams invest a large amount of money and time in the most accurate weather forecasts possible, on which they then base their race strategies. But despite state-of-the-art satellite technology, they are never safe from unpleasant surprises. The approach of a rain front in particular sets off alarm bells with the strategists on the pit wall.
Video available here !
The recommendations the meteorologists pass on to their teams' strategists must take into account not only performance but also safety – on a wet circuit, the usual conditions are turned entirely on their head. "If it rains," says WilliamsF1 Team driver Mark Webber, "you're under much more pressure." If it starts to rain during the race, the drivers have to adjust to impaired visibility and other changed conditions within seconds. How late can I start braking? Should I race around the puddles? And most importantly: how much grip am I left with? The rubber build-up which improves the cars' grip along the racing line is often washed away when it rains. As a consequence, the cars are more likely to slip and the drivers more likely to make a mistake.
When the Formula 1 weather forecasters predict rain, the strategists on the pit wall start doing some serious thinking. The fact that the conditions during rainfall rarely remain constant, often changing from one minute to the next, poses a particularly difficult challenge.
The regulations of Formula 1 offer various options for reacting to rain. If it begins to rain just before the start, for example, the race director can abort the starting procedure, thereby providing the teams with the opportunity to change the tyres.
"This is a very varied track and one of the greatest challenges Formula 1 has to offer. It's very difficult to achieve a perfect lap on this track. It's full-throttle for 62 percent of the time and does not tolerate a single mistake. The physical and psychological strains on the drivers are very high. In terms of safety, Suzuka is not up to today's standards. Though the run-off zone of the super-fast R130 corner was widened last year, a lot of dangerous points remain which should be made safer." images and text acknowledgement: Allianz.com |

Yankees get Jeter back in opener with Blue Jays
Dickey faces Hughes in matchup of American League East foes
Late-inning rallies allowed both the Blue Jays and the Yankees to avoid sweeps on Sunday. New York will get an added boost when their captain, Derek Jeter, returns to the team for the series opener against Toronto on Monday at Rogers Centre.
Due to multiple leg injuries, Jeter has made three trips to the disabled list and has been limited to just five games this season. While the Yankees will tell Jeter to take it easy whenever possible, they are also expecting results quickly.
"He has played three days in a row [on a rehab assignment]. From everything I understand, he felt pretty good," manager Joe Girardi said. "I don't know if we can afford to be apprehensive."
Phil Hughes, who is looking for his first win since July 2, will take the mound for the Yankees. Hughes will be making his second consecutive start against Toronto, allowing two runs on seven hits in six innings in a no-decision on Tuesday.
"I feel like I'm making progress in the right direction," Hughes said. "It all starts with my fastball. I was able to get ahead a lot, throw a lot of strikes and force guys to swing the bats. It worked out all right."
Meanwhile, R.A. Dickey gets the nod for the Blue Jays. Dickey took the loss in an eight-inning complete game against the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits. He has only two wins in the past two months in what has been a disappointing season for both Toronto and last year's National League Cy Young Award winner.
"It's frustrating, it's like a twilight zone -- different day, same script," Dickey said after his last start. "It's really kind of a fluky kind of feeling. I don't really know how to put it into verbiage. I'm at a loss when it comes to that. I just keep telling myself to leave it all on the field, and whatever happens, happens."
Yankees: A-Rod receives scheduled break
• Alex Rodriguez was left out of the starting lineup on Sunday, though he did pinch-hit in the 10th inning, as the Yankees try to keep his legs fresh while playing a stretch of six straight games on artificial turf.
"Whenever we get on this turf six days in a row -- it was a concern last year for some of our guys," Girardi said. "That's partly because of age, and we try to manage them carefully."
Rodriguez has struggled over the past week, going 2-for-18 (.111) with seven strikeouts in his last five games before a single to center on Sunday.
• Lyle Overbay returned to the Yankees' lineup on Sunday after a two-day bout with flu-like symptoms.
Blue Jays: Cecil to be used in shorter stints
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said the team will use Brett Cecil as a lefty specialist or pitch one full inning at most, but the extended outings out of the bullpen are over for this season.
Toronto wants to take a cautious approach with Cecil after he transitioned to the bullpen this season following several years in the starting rotation. Cecil, an All-Star, is 5-1 with a 2.73 ERA in 59 1/3 innings this season.
"[Darren] Oliver has been a bullpen guy for like 10 years probably, and he was the first one to say something to me, 'Hey man, save your bullets because you're going to need them in August and September,'" Cecil said. "I said the other day, 'Sure enough, I needed to save some bullets.' But, I'm getting the hang of it, so hopefully next year is a little bit different."
Worth noting
• The Yankees are undefeated at home against Toronto this season, going 10-0. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it marked the fifth time in franchise history the Yankees swept a home season series against a team they hosted at least 10 times.
• With 3,308 career hits, Jeter is six hits shy of tying Eddie Collins (3,314) for ninth place on the all-time list.

Earlier this summer, APTA served on an expert panel as part of the American Nurses Association's (ANA) broad-based effort to develop national standards to guide hospitals and other health care facilities in their implementation of policies and equipment to safely lift and move patients.
Ken Harwood, PT, PhD, CIE, represented APTA on the panel that included 26 specialists with expertise in nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, ergonomics, architecture, health care systems, and other disciplines to create overarching standards for implementing safe patient handling programs and detailed guidelines for making them work effectively in practice. The Safe Patient Handling National Standards Working Group plans to distribute the standards and guidelines to their professional memberships for comment in October, with publication and release set for March 2013.
The panel is seeking to build a consensus of evidence-based best practices in safe patient handling that will apply to multiple health care professions and settings. The panel's goal is to develop language that can be incorporated nationwide into practices, policies, procedures, and regulations and become the basis for resource toolkits and certifications.
Currently, there are no broadly recognized government or private industry national standards for safe patient handling. Health care facility programs lack consistency, as do regulations in 10 states that have enacted safe patient handling laws. In the meantime, health care professionals continue getting injured, and musculoskeletal injury remains a top concern, says ANA.
