Washington Mutual, and other big-name companies have announced similar cuts,
pushing the civilian jobless rate to a 14-year high of 6.5%. Today, more
than 10 million Americans are searching for work. Many have college degrees,
management skills, and white-collar work experience; in a stronger economy,
they'd be gainfully employed. But for the immediate future, an all-important
question looms: What now?

Given the wave of job cutting this year and the likelihood of further losses
in 2009, BusinessWeek queried prominent career gurus about how skilled job
seekers can best position themselves during the credit crunch. Following are

[indoexpat-uk] UK 'closer' to adopting the euro

UK 'closer' to adopting the euro
  [image: Jose Manuel Barroso] Mr Barroso has been told by British
politicians they now favour the euro

*The UK is "closer than ever before" to joining the euro, according to the
president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso.*

*
*

Speaking on a French radio show, he said British politicians were
considering the move because of the effects of the global credit crunch.

In the same interview, Mr Barroso also forecast that interest rates will
drop in Europe.

However Downing Street said its position on the euro remained the same.

Mr Barroso acknowledged "the majority" of British people continued to oppose
joining the eurozone.

But he said the recent economic uncertainty had made the currency a far more
attractive option.

*Confidential conversations*

In the RTL radio/LCI television broadcast, the former prime minister of
Portugal said: "We are now closer than ever before.

Fitness and the Brain: Can a Walk a Day Keep Alzheimer's Away? A new study
looks at the connection between exercise and memory loss

By P. Murali Doraiswamy and Benson Hoffmann

In the U.S. some five million people have Alzheimer's disease and 10 million
boomers will be at risk for memory problems over their lifetime. Worldwide,
more than 100 million people may have Alzheimer's by the year 2050. As
clinicians, we have learned to recognize that jokes about "old-timer's
disease" and "Teflon brain" are often calls for help from seniors worried
about their memory
lapses<http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=partial-recall-why-memory-fades>.
Living longer is obviously no fun if you cannot
remember<http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=delaying-dementia>your
home address or drive a car. Although we have made tremendous progress
in understanding brain changes that accompany aging and dementia, no
medications have proven effective for preventing Alzheimer's to date. In
recent years, however, more evidence is pointing to a non-medical way to
bolster brain health as we age: exercise.

[indoexpat-uk] Fw: 100, 000 manufacturing jobs at risk in 2009 as recession bites


http://www.personneltoday.com/articles/2008/12/01/48552/100000-manufacturing-jobs-at-risk-in-2009-as-recession.html

100,000 manufacturing jobs at risk in 2009 as recession bites
Greg Pitcher01 December 2008 14:33

Almost 100,000 manufacturing jobs will be lost next year as the UK plunges into recession, according to a report.
The December 2008 Engineering Outlook survey by employers' body the EEF and advisory firm Grant Thornton
shows manufacturing will be hit hard in 2009.
Both output and orders fell into decline over the last three months, with worse expected to come after Christmas.
The
number of people working in the sector is predicted to plummet from
2.78 million to 2.69m - a drop equivalent to 90,000 full-time jobs.
However,
there are some words of encouragement in the report, which was based on
a survey of 807 companies between 30 October and 19 November. 
"While
further job losses will be experienced in engineering and
manufacturing, the pace of job cuts will not match that of previous
recessions," it says. 
"Despite a fall in output and uncertain
outlook, manufacturers are taking steps to cut production and shifts
rather than staff levels."
