...similar approach, Marriott International offers a 24-hour, toll-free hot line manned by social workers to give employees assistance with and referrals for almost any problem. This can include anything from tips on how to maintain a budget to advice on how to handle a child being expelled from school, to what to do if your house burns down. The hot line costs about $1 million annually to operate. It saves Marriott about $4 million in reduced absenteeism and lower turnover...
Some companies may even help employees with their holiday shopping. CMP Media is considering the launch in January of a personal concierge service for its 1,800 employees, says Leah Landro, director of compensation and benefits. By calling a toll-free number, employees could have a special gift picked out and sent to that hard-to-please favorite aunt or have tickets ordered for the hottest concert in town, without doing any of the legwork...
...inspired by the Halloween weekend production dates. Though the two ideas should theoretically work together (What better way to make a man obsessed with time mad than by reversing time's direction?), implementing them was too unwieldy to be well-executed.

The restaurant's chef is on a mission to create an entirely new menu, however, which will include both sushi and a more international, French-Japanese fusion cuisine fit for the new millennium...
...official death toll approached 7,000 Tuesday, and with 13,000 people still listed missing, that count is almost certain to rise. And true to Nicaraguan tradition, the natural disaster is impacting on politics. "President Arnoldo Aleman is being criticized for the slow progress in getting aid to stricken villages," says Orlandi. "And the Sandinistas are attacking him for not declaring a national emergency." Aleman may want to pay more attention to history: It was political fallout from the 1972 killer earthquake that helped sweep the Sandinistas to power seven years later...
