Is My Work “Medically Necessary”? [12 Jan 2015|01:35pm]

I was completing my predoctoral internship in clinical psychology in 2008 when the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act went into effect. As a graduate student, I’d spent four years seeing cases practically for free as part of my training, and one unintended consequence was that on the brink of becoming a mental health professional, I’d had no exposure to the vagaries of insurance-supported treatment.

Should You Cut the Cord? [12 Jan 2015|07:15pm]

With the announcement of Sling TV at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, it’s become clear: The era of cord cutting is here to stay. The new service will provide consumers who’d rather not pay for cable TV with live streaming of ESPN, TNT, TBS, CNN, and some other cable channels for $20 a month. Together with two other services that will launch this year, PlayStation Vue and HBO streaming, Sling TV will expand the universe of à la carte digital-media consumption beyond Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. But how many of these services can you subscribe to before you’re paying more than you would with cable? To answer that question, Slate brings you this calculator:

Email signatures, like the people who craft them, come in many molds. Some are pithy and professional, bordering on brusque.

Why Mitt Romney Would Be a Strong Candidate in 2016 [12 Jan 2015|10:58pm]

In the documentary Mitt, which follows the titular Romney and his family through two presidential campaigns, the former Massachusetts governor gripes that nominees who lose “become a loser for life.” “Mike Dukakis, you know, he can’t get a job mowing lawns,” he joked. “We just brutalize whoever loses.”
