...programs, at about $2.50 a month per employee, cut health-care claims to as much as one-sixth their cost. On average, according to a nonprofit research group called the Wellness Councils of America, for every dollar that a company spends on helping employees get healthier, it can expect to save $3 in health-care expenses. On top of that, an article in last month's Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine says every dollar in medical and pharmacy expenses that companies pay is dwarfed by $2.50 in health-related productivity costs.

Levy paints Newman not just as a movie star but as a determined entrepreneur, family man and racer - a man who admitted mistakes as he made them, took advantage of good luck when it came his way, and did his best...
...Desert Islands' considerable comforts are treated to five-star splendor inspired by a mélange of exotic themes - part Bedouin, part African, with a hint of East Asia and 19th century colonial style. Safari game drives allow close encounters with a host of beautiful beasts (just don't expect Tsavo or Kruger), and multiple soft-adventure activities are also on offer, from fascinating wadi walks to mountain-biking, kayaking through mangrove lagoons and snorkeling with coral-reef denizens - you'll probably swim with turtles and if you're lucky even glimpse the rare dugong. This is an imaginative alternative...
