This recession has gone on long enough. Jobs are still scarce. Layoffs are still happening. While the end looks in sight one day, the next day it seems to disappear.Last fall, when the bottom fell out of our economy, anyone who still had a job was willing to do the work of three people. That person understood that their supervisor's bad mood was caused by stress.O.K., that was over a year ago and many people are still dealing with stressed out bosses and doing the work of three people. Others struggle with fear and anxiety over their job search process.Emotions are high: fear, panic and stress are in the air like the H1V1 ...

Many of us grew up with a stereotypical life plan: I'll go to school, college, get a job, get married, have a family, get a home, and maybe even have a white picket fence and a dog. “Then magically, at 65, I will retire and can finally relax.” Some of these notions have faded into oblivion - in fact, “retirement” has been virtually redefined.We have reached a critical mass in which Baby Boomers now say they do not plan to retire. Retirees are applying for jobs, either out of economic necessity or the realization that it’s not “greener” on the golf course or tennis court. These individuals comprise what ...

The RNase H activity of reverse transcriptase carries out three types of cleavage termed internal, RNA 5' end-directed, and DNA 3' end-directed. Given the strong association between the polymerase domain of reverse transcriptase and a DNA 3' primer terminus, we asked whether the distance from the primer terminus is paramount for positioning DNA 3' end-directed cleavages or whether preferred sequences and/or a cleavage window are important as they are for RNA 5' end-directed cleavages. Using the reverse transcriptases of human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) and Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV), we determined t...

CONCLUSIONS: Job insecurity has a strong association with feelings of depression even after controlling for biographic characteristics (age and sex), economic factors (personal debt) and work characteristics (type of work and level of responsibility). Despite the organizational changes needed to cope with a recession, employers should also take note of the additional distress experienced by workers at a time of great uncertainty, particularly those in less skilled jobs and in financial straits.
