The only trouble? There’s no way these employers are seriously thinking about doing this. I can understand why the employers would do the math. According to healthcare reform law, penalties for failing to provide health coverage are a small fraction of the cost of that coverage. But as with most everything else in healthcare, there’s muc...

We’re pretty sure it’s still true for magnets. No one is sure how “opposites attract” became a dating truism, but the idea of partners with stark differences complementing each other is a total myth, according to the Association of Psychological Science. Research shows that people are drawn to folks who are like them, and actually tend to dislike those who are different or hold differing opinions. Beyond just the initial attraction, similarities are a reliable indicator of a successful and happy marriage. But you can’t be exactly like your mate in every single way, and there are some traits that more directly correlate to stable relationships. Matching levels of conscientiousness seem to be particularly important, meaning that you should look...

Engage opposite points of view2. Grow dendrite brain cells for a competitive edge3. Problem-solve with the brain in mind4. Rewire against Hebbian le...

Why do you think  racial slurs continually pop up. Recently in the elevator, I heard two co-workers discussing a mixed race couple from their firm. One manager said … “I hope they realize what they’re up against…” and the other shot back … "they likely have no idea what they’re in for."Why then, do we think opposites attract? Maybe it’s because we see more openness than in past?” Look closer though. Deeper differences of color, race, religion, and ethnicity don’t usually attract one another – and often polarize and diminish people in cruel ways. Are we simply deceived? No question - many people attribute some growth in interracial ...

A black one with black leather interior. Our car was clean and waxed and clear of clutter. It was small and sporty and we loved it. Others loved it. We were cool. We thought so, anyway.We don't think we are so cool now, however. We are happy, with our two children, our dented and dirty Honda Odyssey mini-van, and all the gear -- books, toys, wet wipes, a scooter, a Big Wheel, and even a little potty -- that fills the vast space of our latest vehicle. But I am not sure anyone would ever call us cool as we cruise around town in our family ride.My husband, John, dreams of getting another Mustang. And he's primed our three-year-old son for the same dream. Danny can spot a Mustang a mile away, ...

I wanted to stay in bed and feel sorry for myself but the nurses had other plans. Today, I am grateful for those nurses who pushed me because that is what I really needed. The first night in the hospital was not a lot of fun. I was completely wired and couldn't sleep. I also had to wear circulation stockings that would help move my legs a bit in order to keep the blood flowing and prevent blood clots from forming. These stockings were necessary but such a pain. They were plugged in and I couldn't really move without annoying myself. The nurse had to take them off in order for me to go to the bathroom and put them back on when I returned.So, here it is 7:30 in the morning and who do I see but my roommate's husband sitting in a chair...

It’ really very simple – begin each sentence thusly:“Please may I…………” fill in the blank. Even if this comes out mangled ‘peez ma hi……’ it still works quite well.I started out extracting this phrase from my children from birth, using the blanket approach to child rearing.
