...been here before. Graham Farquhar, a partner in Ernst & Young's employment tax division, says the mad rush "is reminiscent of what we saw during the downturn in 2001," with employees suddenly acting on perks they may have forgotten were on offer. Katarina, who lost her marketing job with a cosmetics firm in Frankfurt, joined a gym before her last day to secure a corporate discount, which saves her $40 a month. "I've been unemployed for the past month but my gym membership is still the rate of a working person's," she says...

According to most estimates, between one-third and one-fifth of women will experience sexual or domestic violence at the hands of a male friend, partner, spouse, or date during their lifetime. The MenSpeakUp campaign believes that men must play a prominent part in addressing these problems if significant progress is to be made.

Though Rosetta Stone software is expensive - the typical three-level program costs about $500 - it's still more cost-effective than the classroom, or extensive one-on-one tutoring...
...charismatic enough to keep our attention. Mirren is feisty as Cal and Della’s boss, but her character lacks substance. As is often the case in an ensemble cast, many of the supporting actors are underutilized. Della, for instance, is not so much Cal’s partner as his sidekick, entering and exiting the film as it suits the plot. Their dialogue is often amusing, but Cal and Della lack chemistry. McAdams is almost too pretty to play Della, but she manages to hold her own against Mirren and Crowe. Bateman enters the picture late...
