(Reuters) - Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, participates in a panel discussion at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York in this file image from September 23, 2009. "Bonus" has become a dirty word on Wall Street, prompting image consultants to advise the biggest financial firms to use euphemisms that carry less stigma as the season of lavish payouts approaches. A look at Goldman Sachs' quarterly filings with regulators reveals that the term "discretionary bonuses" has been replaced with "discretionary compensation" in the past nine months.

(AP) - Alexandra Patz watch as Jessina Carroll, a nurse at the Ryan Chelsea-Clinton Community Health Center, administer a swine flu vaccine nasal mist to her son Douglas, 4, in New York, Thursday Nov. 5, 2009. The private nonprofit health center has seen a steady flow of individuals asking for the vaccine. 'There was no wait,' said Patz, who also got the vaccine along with her son. 'It was painless and I am glad I did it.' Some of New York's biggest companies, including Wall Street giants Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, received doses of swine flu vaccine for at-risk employees, drawing criticism that the hard-to-find vaccine is going first to the privileged.
