Workers who feel over-pressured yet powerless are more at danger than those who suffer less stress Being in a stressful job where you are bossed around could raise the risk of a heart attack by a quarter, warn researchers. They said workers who feel over-pressured yet powerless are more at danger than counterparts who suffer less stress. Their major review of heart health among 200,000 workers examined the risk for all occupations, from [...] With women being denied roles in Army combat units, they have sought out an alternative way to showcase their strength and training: cage fighting. And they are not just competing against their own – they are taking on men in a battle to prove they are just as worthy fighters both in the field and away from it. One competition, held at Ford Hood in Texas last month, saw 300 men and [...] http://billhicksisdead.blogspot.com/2012/02/us-job-quality-crashes-during-recovery.html Surprise! Surprise!

It was forwarded to an email list I monitor by a friend of the writer. If is assessment is correct, it’s important to pay attention to this movement as it could lead to all sorts of [...] The Daily Bail We can sit on our collective petards, or we can fight peacefully through protest. The decision is for all of us to make. Anonymous has now joined forces with AdBusters in calling for a non-violent occupation of Wall Street beginning on September 17th. Simultaneous occupations of financial districts are now being planned in New York City, Madrid, Milan, London, Paris and [...] Warning!
