Medicaid expansion in Michigan undecided
Legislative leaders have yet to decide whether to expand insurance benefits to a broader category of Michigan residents.
Medicaid provides health care coverage to the neediest American citizens. On June 28, 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not force states to expand Medicaid by threatening to pull back federal dollars meant to support existing Medicaid programs. States will now decide for themselves whether or not to expand Medicaid to cover additional residents.
In Michigan the decision whether or not to expand coverage to additional low income residents has not yet been made by Governor Snyder and the legislature. The expansion would include an additional 500,000 uninsured individuals gaining access to insurance beginning January 1, 2014. The concern is that the cost, while initially covered almost entirely by the federal government, will create a financial burden on the state in the future.
More than 2 million individuals are enrolled in Medicaid in Michigan. Children make up more than half of the enrollees in the state at 55 percent. Adults, the disabled and the aged comprise the rest. Twenty percent of the state's population makes up the Medicaid rolls, which is the same percentage nationally. Michigan ranks eighth behind California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio in the percent of the population receiving Medicaid.
Medicaid eligibility is based on the federal poverty level (FPL). The 2012 FPL for an individual is $15,415 and for a family of three it is $26,344. The minimum percentage of the FPL for pregnant women and children set by the federal government is 133 percent. For example, a pregnant woman in a family of three could have an income of $29, 848 ($3,504 above the FPL) and still qualify for Medicaid.
In January of this year, Michigan became one of 39 states that expanded the eligibility for pregnant women to 185 percent of FPL. According to the Kaiser Commission, in 2014 states may opt to move pregnant women with incomes above 133 percent FPL from Medicaid to Exchange coverage.
Medicaid provides a safety net for children experiencing poverty in Michigan. As of January 2012 children's eligibility for Medicaid is based on 150 percent to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Parents and non-disabled adults without children do not fare as well. Their federal poverty level percentages are much lower, and the state is no longer accepting applications from parents and non-disabled adults.
Under the Affordable Care Act, the state can cover all of its low-income citizens through Medicaid at 133 percent FPL beginning in 2014. Whether Michigan's decision makers choose to do that, and how broadly they extend coverage, remains to be seen.

|Reviews for Under the Mistletoe
| InventorOfFirebolt chapter 1 . 12/10/2011
Remind me again why I was her for Halloween last year -_-
This made me hate her even more, and love your writing even more :D
| Singing in the Dead of Night chapter 1 . 11/28/2011
I agree, Cho is not one of my favorite characters. Even so, I liked this story. Good job!
| Asking Me Where My Love Grows chapter 1 . 11/28/2011
First off, CONGRATS ON NaNoWriMo!(:
Second, that was so sad.);
I like how Cho pretended that Harry was Cedric because the only person I can really stand Cho with is Cedric. This was also written in your special pretty way so that's good.~
Oy, you write fast. c;
| JPLE chapter 1 . 11/27/2011
Ergh, Cho was never my favourite character, and I suppose you've just made me despise her more...
Another canon kiss...although this one was a completely different take. I loved the expose of the motives the most, to be honest. I've never read anything Harry/Cho which depicted her as little more than a needy, sobbing mess.
Perhaps it's that feminist touch that makes her somewhat understandable. I mean clearly, if you're a Harry fan you're going to somewhat despise her here, but you can't deny that at least she has some backbone.
The female characters in the series are admirable in the way that they're all relativly independent and strong people. Luna - not giving a toss about opinion, Ginny - the epitome of self-sufficient and strong, Bellatrix - crazy and dedicated, but completely set on her ideals, Narcissa - daring to sacrifice her own life for the good of her child, Hermione - bright and driven, upon which Ron and Harry rely on for help constantly, Lily - sacrificing her own life for the good of the wizarding world and her child, Umbridge - self righteous and a toad, but set on her ideals as steadfastly as Bellatrix and completely in control...I could go on and on. Cho is the one female character I've struggled with, in that regard. She just doesn't fit the mould that the other female characters seem to.
Here, you've given her those strong and driven characteristics present in the other female characters, and although they might be selfish, in a way it makes me respect her character more. Again, I'm not sure if this was what you were aiming for, but that really popped out at me from this. She's still needy, in a way, but its covered by the desire to satisfy her own needs, rather than just being a teary mess who struggles to hold herself together without a male counterpart.
Love it.
| obsessivegirl73 chapter 1 . 11/26/2011
Awww poor Cho. :(
On a side note, you've never watched AVPM/S have you? Starkids know that it's Harry Freaking Potter. Or Remus Freaking Lupin lol...that's one way you could celebrate, you could watch those! :O
Oh, right, congratulations! My play got me behind so I kinda quit after a while. XP
Back to AVPM. You should watch it. Then again, there's a ot of Quirrelmort...but there's a lot of Bellamort also...here's a quote you'd probably like: "Back when I was young, I had a mad game with the bitches! Just ask Bellatrix Lestrange!" -Voldie. Lol. So yeah, you should go watch it. ;)
Oh, and nice story, I liked it, but I hope you're relatively close to finishing the comp already lol...

Give reasons for the following :(i) The Zener diode is fabricated by heavily doping both the p and n sides of the junction.(ii) A photodiode, when used as a detector of optical signals is operated under reverse bias.(iii) The band gap of the semiconductor used for fabrication of visible LED's must at least be 1.8 eV
(i) A heavy doping makes the depletion region very thin. This makes the electric field of the junction very high, even tor a small reverse bias voltage. This in turn helps the Zener diode to act as a 'voltage regulator'. (ii) When operated under reverse bias, the photodiode can detect the changes in current with the changes in light intensity more easily. (iii) The photon energy, of visible light photons variesfrom about 1.8 eV to 3 eV. Hence for visible LED's, the semiconductor must have a band gap of 1.8 eV.

Resolve the root causes of destructive behaviours, It's time to live free.
Ecstasy is a unique drug in that it is both a stimulant & a hallucinogen thus increases energy and has a wide range of emotional changes in patients. MDMA, like most other stimulants, can cause significant addiction problems and while mostly taken as a recreational "club drug" there are many serious associated risks.
Are you or a loved one struggling with MDMA abuse?
Specialist addiction counselor supported treatment for Ecstasy and related drug addictions. Secure, discreet, residential and bespoke outpatient programmes.
With the right treatment & commitment to support meetings or therapy, anyone can get on and stay on the road to recovery.
Ecstasy is chemically similar to hallucinogenic mescaline and meth amphetamine type classes of stimulants. This is a popular yet illegal "club drug", most often consumed in pill, tablet, or capsule and in some cases powder format.
In the case of poly addictions, users electively mix ecstasy with other substances to achieve a different "high" effects. Ecstasy use in combination with other drugs can be very dangerous.
Conclusive evidence demonstrates that ecstasy causes damage to nerve cells which naturally produce serotonin in the brain, consequentially moods, emotions, sleep, memory, and cognitive skills are negatively impacted.
Effective treatment for ecstasy addiction includes cognitive behavioral modifications and therapy designed to rectify thought patterns and behaviors that will enable long term coping skills in the face of relapse risk.
Factors of ecstasy addiction in many cases can also be treated with post traumatic stress therapy. With highly-trained addiction treatment counsellors and trauma therapists, patients can overcome the addiction.
Do NOT drive on Ecstacy, the effects of this drug on motor coordination skills and lack of appropriate judgement is well documented in the national road death toll in South Africa if in any doubt call an Uber or taxi to take you home. Never get into any car with anyone driving on ecstacy.
Ecstasy users are advised to drink orange juice both before & after taking a pill. This reduces a number of risk factors on in the brains free radicals, Vitamin C seems to help with dulling the effect of ecstasy.
Horlicks and malt type drinks contain tryptophan which will help restore some serotonin receptors in the brain.
Melatonin will help individuals to get to sleep, one should avoid "downers or prescription depression or anti anxiety medications" however they are sometimes used to calm distressed individuals.
Slang Terms
Drop, Double Drop, Double Dropping, Flip or Flipping, Roll, Rolling, Cuddle Puddle, E-Puddle, E-tard, Raver and Raving.
Tolerance to MDMA builds very quickly and users need to take more to achieve the same highs. Ecstasy depression is a well documented after effect of the drug. 90% of users take other more harmful and addictive drugs to try counteract the comedown depressions caused by Ecstasy.
Common Indicators of Ecstasy Addiction
Less than 10% of Ecstasy pills on the market are pure MDMA thus the risks of overdosing, poisoning or getting addicted to other substances mixed with MDMA are high. Remembering that Ecstasy is an illegal substance there are no standards in the manufacturing process of the drug, so users have literally no idea as to what they are taking.
Seek professional help if you feel that you could be addicted to ecstasy. This is not a harmless drug. It's all fun and games till someone dies.
Recovery Direct is a specialist addiction treatment service based in Cape Town, South Africa. We focus on the resolution of past traumas and establish positive personal growth in patients.

Racing and breeding news and information.
Pharmaceutical executive Eugene Melnyk has signed an agreement to purchase Mockingbird Farm in Ocala, Fla., from Harry T.

Mangurian, who is on top of the breeders' standings again in 2001, is no longer in the breeding business after dispersing nearly of all his stock.
Wednesday began with a lot of questions for the Keeneland Association, mostly surrounding what effect the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on Tuesday would have on resumption of the September Yearling Sale. By the end of the day, the sales company in Lexington, Ky. had gotten affirmation that the right decision had been made. There was competitive bidding between buyers from North America, Europe, and Middle Eastern countries during the session, which was highlighted by a Storm Cat colt sold for $6.4 million.
With Keeneland's decision to postpone the second day of the September yearling sale due to the apparent terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., many buyers and sellers were left in limbo. One thing was certain: horses and the sales were secondary.
The good times rolled at Saratoga Tuesday night, with prices during the opening session of the Fasig-Tipton select yearling sale exceeding last year's figures by significant amounts.
The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's March select auction of 2-year-olds ended with a bang on Wednesday. A Dehere ridgling became the most expensive juvenile ever sold by OBS when he brought a $1,050,000 bid from trainer Todd Pletcher, who was representing pharmaceutical executive Eugene Melnyk.
Eugene Melnyk announced the retirement of his stakes winner Queen's Park from racing.

A Maria's Mon colt out of Blues On Parade (by Cure the Blues) was purchased by Robert and Beverly Lewis for $325,000 as the top price during Sunday's session of the Keeneland September yearling sale.
Boosted by competitive bidding between Sheikh Mohammed, Coolmore Stud interests, and clients of trainer D. Wayne Lukas, the second session of Keeneland's fall yearling sale soared to record levels Tuesday, primarily on the strength of horses consigned by William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm. Among the highlights were the sale of a Storm Cat colt for $6.8 million--the highest price paid for a yearling sold at auction in North America since 1985--and two apparent world record prices for yearling fillies.
Hip-by-hip results, live coverage.
Scatter the Gold's bid to follow in his mother's footsteps by sweeping the Canadian Triple Crown fell a little over three lengths short Saturday as the Sam-Son Farm's homebred finished third in the $500,000 Breeders' Stakes at Woodbine. The Todd Pletcher-trained Lodge Hill earned the win, completing the 1 1/2-mile turf race, run over firm turf, in 2:28.97.

Planking, an Internet phenomenon that has people posting photos of themselves lying face down with their arms at their sides on desks, fridges, statues, pool tables - just about anything - is hardly the sort of thing a prime minister would weigh in on.
But following an accident on Sunday in which 20-year-old Acton Beale fell seven storeys to his death while "planking" on a narrow apartment balcony in Brisbane, Australia's Prime Minister has called for plankers to consider safety.
"There's a difference between a harmless bit of fun done somewhere that's really safe and taking a risk with your life," Julia Gillard told reporters on Sunday. "Everybody likes a bit of fun, but focus has to be on keeping yourself safe first."
It was originally called the Lying Down Game, and although no one seems to know exactly when and where the term "planking" originated, it has flourished under that name in Australia.
A Facebook group founded by Sam Weckert called Planking Australia is "liked" by more than 120,000 people. Planking is so popular Down Under that it's attracted everyone from a local television personality to one man who earlier this month planked on top of a police car. The man did so because he wanted to be the best planker there is, he told UPI, a news agency.
Other planking Facebook groups have launched in the U.S., Japan, Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Canada. Planking is so widespread now that enthusiasts are about to celebrate the first World Planking Day, on May 25.
The event will still go on, although many groups are now stressing caution after Mr. Beale's death.
"We urge all of you to keep the planking safe. Please do not try extreme planking without proper support. If you think it is too dangerous - it is!" the website Letsplank.com wrote under the headline "Planking Registers its First Death."
The Planking Canada group on Facebook has photos of people planking on fences, a radiator, chairs and couches, the top of a fridge and railway tracks. Like many such groups, it also posts a set of common instructions for what to do when performing a plank, which includes this: "Your safety should always be considered. Properly thought through planking procedures should always go to plan. Never put yourself at undue risk, unless you are a seasoned Planker."
A discussion on Planking Australia's Facebook page about Mr. Beale's death was divided between those mourning what they saw as a tragedy and those decrying what they see as an idiotic pastime.
"Planking is the most stupid thing I have ever heard of, not only is it dangerous but it has gotten people in serious trouble with the law," Cameron Wilson wrote on the group's Facebook discussion page dedicated to Mr. Beale's death. A woman named Linda Browne called it a "stunt gone wrong and tragic."
Tragedy or idiocy, more planking injuries are inevitable, according to Ross Barnett, Queensland's deputy police commissioner.
"As people become more and more competitive and try more and more obscure and difficult episodes of planking, which inevitably lead to greater levels of risk, this is the sort of thing that will eventuate and no one wants to see that," he told Australian media.
Meanwhile, the man who founded the Planking Australia Facebook page is defending planking, saying it was never intended to be an extreme pursuit.
"Planking was started as a fun and quirky pastime," Mr. Weckert said in a statement. "While we have no control over the actions of others we'd like to encourage any members of the planking group and the general public to undertake this in a safe and responsible fashion."Report Typo/Error

I wanted to introduce or re-introduce myself and Wow Cool to you. I don't find that an easy thing to do. Wow Cool has had a long and varied history since it was founded by myself and the cartoonists Tom Hart and Sam Henderson in a Manhattan dorm room in 1988.
It all started with School of Visual Arts off-campus publication Tuna Casserole, which was edited by the three of us, and featured many of the young artists that were around New York in the late eighties, and many others… known and unknown. Tuna Casserole published art by illustrator Jose Ortega, political cartoonists Zapiro and Seth Tobocman, Funny Garbage founders Peter Girardi and Chris Cappuozzo, Children's book illustrator Michael Rex, Gary Panter, Mark Martin, Paul Mavrides, Michael Kupperman, and San Francisco bike courier art legend Chris Hsiang.
It turned into something more than a small-press comic publishing project when Steven Cerio came up to me at a gallery opening and asked if Wow Cool would publish a book and tape set he'd created with Alex Ross (not the superhero artist and not the New Yorker writer… as far as we know) Suddenly we were a record label. OK a tape label. Within the next year I had joined the art/video/performance/music group Brown Cuts Neighbors and had released a half dozen cassettes and my first seven inch record.
Jump to 1992. I'd moved to Northampton, Mass. to work as a designer and editor for Kevin Eastman's Tundra Publishing and was sharing a studio with Al Columbia. I was very fortunate to work on book projects with Michael Kaluta and Neil Gaiman and so many other talented people. I was at Comic Con that year under my own steam. Ed Brubaker–then, a budding cartoonist–introduced me to Joshua Petrin, the zine buyer for Rory Root's Comic Relief. Wow Cool suddenly grew a new head and a new business model. It's first, really. In February 1993 Wow Cool officially moved to the Bay Area and became a distributor, publisher and mail order house for mini comix, punk zines and all other manner of DIY ephemera. It was the time of the great zine explosion; as seen on CNN, the New York Times, Sassy and elsewhere. And we were the guys to go to for Cometbus, Dishwwasher, Scam, Optic Nerve, Simon Gane's Arnie, Doris, Too Much Coffee Man, minicomics by Jim Woodring and Scott McCloud and hundreds of other stapled pieces of xeroxed paper. In this peak period Wow Cool published it's first 'proper comics', including Sam Henderson's Oh That Monroe, Scott McCloud's Five Little Comics and Steven Cerio's PIE. There was also a program that we launched with a long lost major comic book distributor to distribute small press comics and zines to the direct market. These releases included a controversial minicomic by Danny Hellman and some very early work by the hyper-talented David D'Andrea.
Somewhere in there, when things got really tight, I became art director for Fantagraphics and spent 17 wet months in Seattle. I art directed Kim Thompson's Zero Zero anthology, color separated many Dan Clowes and Chris Ware projects and finished out my stay by co-editing and designing Robert Williams' Malicious Resplendence book and the last four volumes in the Vaughn Bodé Library. Not too bad.
And then at some point in the late '90s, back in Oakland, after a few shakeups we managed to get through, the warehouse flooded (twice), I got beaten up a block from our warehouse, a good friend got mugged right outside the warehouse, my bike got stolen and I had had enough. I tore off back to the east coast and didn't think seriously about Wow Cool again for a few years.
I reconnected with Steven Cerio and Brown Cuts Neighbors and spent five years concentrating on making music and video. Focus shifted from Wow Cool, the publisher, to DeptEx–The Department of Experimental Services–a multimedia collective that had grown around the people in Brown Cuts Neighbors in Schenectady, New York. We produced dozens of television shows, played scores of unique gigs and reached our most productive creative height since the early explosion of output in 1990.
Everything came to a crushing halt on August 11, 2002.
On that day, I was told that James Kopta, one of the prime movers in Wow Cool, DeptEx, Brown Cuts Neighbors and so much more, had died in a tragic drowning accident. The same week that we had received copies of our latest work, a Screamers tribute compilation on which we covered "I am A Mensch". It was time to move on again. I could not face continuing with any of it in New York. I moved to Tennessee, became the art director for martial arts equipment manufacturer Tiger Claw, and eventually realized that Wow Cool was going to have to come back.
After years of part-time, late night and weekend preparation, and a year of full-time work, Wow Cool was ready to be reborn, here in the later part of 2010. Most of the old gang is here… the artists and musicians that have been at the heart of whatever this movement is. Most of them from upstate New York, a few, like Bath, England's Simon Gane, from a bit farther away.
So, here we are. We have a lot to share with you.
–Marc Arsenault

Ghetto Ballet Trailer (2009)
"For a way out, they had to stay on their toes." 30 December 2009 Factual 35 mins
Gehtto Ballet follows the inter-linked stories of a number of students in a groundbreaking program called Dance For All. The raison d'etre of the program - founded by Philip Boyd and his late wife Phyllis Spira - is to give disadvantaged kids in the townships the opportunity to study ballet and, if they are lucky, find a way out by joining a professional ballet company.

For any Hounds who did not already know, here is an article about brand new Burlington Market Basket that will be opening late this year practically adjacent to the current one:
Every time I go to H-Mart or just find myself driving by on Middlesex Turnpike the progress is apparent. They have completely gutted the old Expo Design Center and the stores between it and the current MB. The other day all that remained was the roof - you could see right through the space! Given that it is hard to imagine that the new store will be ready before the end of the year, but that is what they are shooting for. I can hardly wait!

Tempe, Arizona: University Town near Phoenix
If you hear Tempe natives referring to a mountain, there's no need to ask which one. It's the local nickname for Tempe Butte, a steep hill with a 60-foot-tall letter A emblazoned on its south face in honor of Arizona State University. The hill stands just north of the school's campus, which is home to a student body of more than 70,000. Many of them congregate in the brewpubs, shops, and coffeehouses in the Mill Avenue District.
Located only a 20-minute drive away, Phoenix offers several acclaimed museums. At the Children's Museum of Phoenix, kids can build forts, measure vegetables in a pint-size market, and help paint an 11-foot-tall rocket ship. The Phoenix Art Museum includes a collection of Thorne Rooms—miniature dioramas of ornate interiors kept tidy by a fleet of tiny roombas.

The Divine at Play with Itself: Feng Shui with Feeling
Gail Thomas, Ph.D.
What are the forces at work when we play? Do the forces, whatever they are, "work" at play? Are they working to bring about play, or is it their nature to play and the ordering of this nature is called work? Might similar forces "play" at working? What is the play of forces that result in my work?
These questions entertain me. I love playing around with them. And in this playful entertainment of ideas, I realize I am actually doing my work. It's fun. One of my mentors, Jim Hillman, says, ideas want to be playful. They want to have fun. They get tired of working so hard without a break. Like the improvisational break in jazz which releases the creative burst of new sounds. Ideas are like that. They want a break. So tonight is a break –If we're lucky we'll have a riff!
Many times I have found myself in the position I am in tonight–having said something and not being certain what I meant, yet confident that the statement meant something rather important. So, loving rituals as I do, (and remembering that rituals give shape to spirit) when this happens to me, I participate in a little ritual that seems to help me out. I take the simple statement–in this case, "Feng Shui with Feeling"– and I extend it out, far, farther, farther, until it is at the farthest reaches of my imagination, but connected to me by a thin thread. Then, I climb onto the thread and travel, quite quickly actually, to the length of the thread. From there, I look back.
Now, this small ritual does amazing things for me. Most immediately of course, it releases me from the prison of post-modern thinking, that is, of being too literal or too abstract. It allows me to perceive through the imagination. The thread is my story line, and the images at the end of the thread (all of us in this room) are acting out our own individual and unique stories.
Now, how do I know what I am looking for way out here? Since space and time exist in both literal and abstract thinking, I am freed from these encumbrance. Perhaps I am in the middle of what is called the AKASHIC RECORDS, (Blake would call it THE IMAGINATION) where every thought that has been thought and every word that has been spoken is active and alive, words still being uttered, fresh, newly created. (What an amazing place, no dead thought, no cliches!) I'll take my queue from words Plato is speaking, and slip an image into my eye so that everything I see sees through this image. (Plato talks about love in this way, saying that if Love is the image in the eye that is seen through, then everything is seen through love.) But, in my case, in this instance, I slip into the lens of the eye that is looking from this far, far distance two words–WORK and PLAY.
Now, excuse the pun, but Let's see. Work and Play. My goodness, what an amazing story is unfolding. It is the story of the divine at play with itself — at work making the universe. And, how extraordinary that there are so many stories, like waves of light, and yet, there is in this complexity such a profound order. How to tell this story. There are so many stories to tell and yet there is but one. The one and the many, all ending in tiny threads that lead to each one of you back in Dallas in that room at the Dallas Institute. What a celebration! What joy! It makes me want to sing! To sing creation. (Thank you, Caedmon).
So here I am, having extended myself as far as my imagination could travel, clinging to a thread led by the words, "Feng Shui with Feeling," seeking their origin. And, as I turn and look back, I realize that in order to understand the right relationship between work and play, it is necessary to begin with creation at play, working to make a universe. As above, so below.
Listen to this brief story, told by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry. They are calling it THE UNIVERSE STORY. As I read, imagine your own burst of initiatives and false starts as your desires seek a living form. Their words help us imagine the outermost forces at play in our individual work and play:
Fifteen billion years ago, in a great flash, the universe flared forth into being. In each drop of existence a primordial energy blazed with an intensity never to be equaled again. Thick with its power, the universe billowed out in every direction so that the elementary particles could stabilize, enabling the first atomic beings of hydrogen and helium to emerge. After a million turbulent years, the frenzied particles calmed themselves enough for the primeval fireball to dissolve into a great scattering, with all the atoms soaring away from each other into the dark cosmic skies opening up in the beginning time. A billion years of uninterrupted night enabled the universe to prepare itself for its next macrocosmic transfiguration. ["O dark, dark, dark/They all go into the dark/The vacant interstellar spaces." T.S.Eliot, The Wasteland. (My insert)] In the depth of its silence the universe shuddered with the immense creativity necessary to fashion the galaxies—The Andromeda galaxy, the Virgo cluster of galaxies, Pegasus, Fornax, the Magellanic Clouds, M33, the Coma cluster, Sculptor, the Hercules cluster, as well as our own Milky Way galaxy—one hundred billion galaxies in all."
I can see from this perspective that the human story is not separate from the story of our beloved Earth. Every rock, river, and star tells the story of the bones, vessels and cells of my body. I want to honor the profound relationship between work and play by looking with this cosmic gaze. Can we see that in the forces that created the earth–rivers, trees, stars, seas, cities, football stadiums–there is a relationship involved in the making of the phenomena of the universe and the earth that parallels our own bodies, homes, cars, soccer fields, and bridge tournaments. The relationship is one of work and play. So that we realize that our work and our play work in tandem. How is this so?
The first law in the expanding universe that allows the universe to take a shape is the law of gravitation. The word simply means a particular attraction things have for each other. In Newton's theory this is called FORCE. In Einstein theory it is called the "Curvature of the space-time manifold. Basically, the story this relationship tells is of the bond that exists between Earth and all of its materials. Cosmologists say now that the gravitational bond holding each thing in the universe to everything else is simply the universe acting. ( working? Playing?)
And, it is clearly an act of love. Does the rock fall to the earth, or does the earth pull the rock to itself? Is this what the poet Rilke refers to when he asks in the 9th of the Duino Elegies: "Is this not why we are here, to draw this earth passionately within our embrace so that it rises up, invisible in us? Earth is this not what you want, to become invisible in us?"
And, this erotic story of human being and place resonates in me. I feel the gravitational pull of the things that I love so much–house, face, tree, flower, hearth, word, city, friend, food, wine, work–they pull me as I say them, back on my thin thread, back, back, back, into earth's orbit and the delicious reaching out of the earth gathering me back into her arms, back, back and here now, always, back into this room and in this time playing with, yes, with that which is my work.
Amazingly, this is the art of Feng Shui. I don't know how many of your are familiar with Feng Shui. It is the art of sacred place making. Feng Shui means wind and water. The way the wind blows; the way the water flows. Both guide our attention to the flow of forces within any given place, forces that animate the land itself and the people who inhabit this land. For over two million years, what we now call energies were called spirits by the nomadic tribes who followed the flow of waters and the earth's meridians to primal springs.
This spirit in the earth many times was recorded on cave and vase paintings as the serpent because of its winding and coiling nature, like the eddies that form in streams and give it its vitality. The serpent has been present in almost all creation myths, appearing usually with Mother Gaia as soon as Gaia begins to stir and want companionship. When the two are conjoined we have what we call today "energy" or "life-force." When it is seen in visible form it appears as spiraling waves. We see it, of course, in the pattern of the double helix in the DNA, the Kundalini-like structure of our marrow which is the very essence of life. We see it in the waves of blowing sand across the beach or desert, in the entrails of birds, and, indeed, as the basic pattern of every form of life.
In myth, this spirit is seen as the trickster, as Hermes/Mercurius, and his important work of healing. The trickster heals in a mysterious way. The "trick" is to allow spirit to take shape, to assume various forms in the cosmos, and to keep those forms alive with spirit without forgetting what it is, without losing itself in matter. That means, spirit must be allowed to remain spirit when it enters into matter. So the work of manifesting is actually the rather magical work of the "spiritualization of matter." It is this work, spirit at play in matter, that brings a sense of the sacred in the world.
So where do we look to recover a sense of the sacred? How do we apprehend spirit at work in our work and play? We find the study of the spirit of the earth in the ancient science of geomancy, or what we are calling tonight, Feng Shui.
Feng Shui is a theory of Chinese geomancy (geo-mancy means the divining of ge or Gaia, Earth; just as geo-metry means the measuring of Earth's body). This theory holds that every place and every thing has its own indwelling life-spirit, which is called "chi". The "chi" gives the place or the thing or the person its vitality, making it magnetic so that it draws people and forms (forms as in architecture, dwellings, businesses, downtown arenas) to it. Forces of chi run through the universe, through the earth itself and through the human body as meridians. The earth meridians lead to water domes which are almost always designated as sacred springs. John Michell tells us that all sacred places have an association with water, that the most ancient of all cities, Jericho, was founded over an ancient spring. When cities decay and disappear, the springs will still be there as the living, vital spirit of the land itself.
Can we imagine these forces of chi at work within the meridians of our individual bodies? This is the wisdom behind Acupuncture, to stimulate the chi forces within certain meridians of the body so that the chi initiates healing at the source of the problem whether the liver, the kidneys, the lymph, the heart and what is mysteriously called "triple-heater."
Or, imagine the chi forces at work within our psychic landscape. Just as the chi forces might become blocked in the earth or in our own physical bodies, these same forces become impaired in their flow through the spirit meridians of our soul body–our spiritual, etheric, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.
Imagining spirit at work in our everyday lives through the art of Feng Shui is a holistic, integrated way of seeing which includes all the natural sciences–geometry, geology, architecture, ecology, economics, astrology, astronomy–plus music, dance, ritual life, and ceremony. It is based on the notion that matter is composed of spirit. By spirit, I mean that which we know to be working invisibly to bring to form that which is a reality at another level, at say, a higher frequency level–the "As above, so below" at work in the world. Regardless what we call this showing of the invisible, we see life manifesting itself in Forms. Spirit manifests as Life through FORMS–cities, office buildings, homes, baseball fields, music halls, pubs, institutes.
Ch'i is the vital force that breathes life through human beings, animals, plants, and minerals. A motivating force, it inflates the earth to form mountains and carries water through the earth's ducts. Ch'i determines earth's formations, the quality of flower blossoms, the luster of the cat's fur. While all things–hills, streams, trees, humans, stones–inhale ch'i, they also exhale it, thus becoming a part of each other's soul.
Now, my understanding of ch'i is that it is the vital force which links spirit and substance and becomes the condition present when soul and spirit come together. We can imagine spirit–Mercurius Spiritus–coming from the outside in, and soul–the healing forces within the aura of the body–coming from the inside outand meeting there. What actually happens when spirit and soul come together? I imagine it to be a moment of Chaos, like when you are stirring liquid in a clock-wise pattern creating a vortex and suddenly reverse the motion to counter-clockwise. There is a moment of Chaos created in this instant. An implosion occurs, an inner eruption. A "Break"? I imagine a vitality and Life Force emanating from this moment of the coming together of Soul and Spirit that creates an envelope of what we might call "ch'i". I can imagine that trees and flowers would LOVE it in such a place, and animals and humans would thrive here! Business ventures would be successful; playing fields propitious. The Feng Shui master, Lin Yun, describes ch'i this way:
Ch'i spirals around and around in the earth, ever-changing; sometimes "exhaling" towards the crust, sometimes "inhaling" towards its depths, always pulsating and manifesting itself in different ways–a high mountain, a deep river, a flat desert.
How do we see the forces of this chi energy today? My sense is that we intuit, most of the time unknowingly, where the chi forces are leading us. How many of us, when looking for a job, have left a place saying, "It just doesn't feel right?"; "I had a gut reaction against that place" or "I felt wonderful just being there!" The chi forces are at work, guiding and directing.
The Feng Shui master, Lin Yun, to whom I have been referring, lives in San Francisco now and teaches there. He says we have many more senses than five, in fact, we have hundreds. We can open these senses to gain information that we are not ordinarily privy to. It is this action that we participate any time we create. When we open the doors to the imagination. We know it as Power Golf, Power Tennis, Power Baseball, when we "see" the ball into the racket, when we, as batter, direct the ball into the bat. Derk Loeks in Santa Fe once gave me a lesson on how to use the chi force from trees when hiking in the mountains. Focus on an uphill tree and ask its force field to pull you up, like using a wench, inching you up to the tree itself. Always remember to say thank you when you get to the tree, Derk said, and then focus on the next tree higher up. He claims he was taught this technique by native mountain men in Canada who ran 70 or 80 miles in the mountains to reach their homes on the week-ends. They never stop running until they reach their destination (and many of them run in flip-flop sandals). They have not isolated themselves from the nature which produced them. Their chi and the chi of the land itself is one. They simply tune into it and go.
Is this not a lesson for our work? We are asked to find the nature of the work and to align the nature within our selves–the feng shui, the flow of natural forces–with the nature of the work. (One scholar describes Feng Shui as being in the right place facing the right direction doing the right thing at the right time.) In my profession, archetypal psychology, we ask if we are dreaming the dream or is the dream dreaming us.
I'll illustrate how this works by telling the story my brother Ike told me this morning of an Englishman living in South Africa, who, after failures in business, in two marriages, and in his attempt to conquer alcohol, began working with a prison program in Capetown. One night he had a dream about returning to his hometown in England and he was given three names–Verne, Portland, and John. The next day he was unable to resist the overwhelming desire to spend what little money he had to purchase a travel ticket to London. He visited his hometown, remembering Verne as a bicycle shop–the shop was closed. He could make no other connections to the names in the dream. Then hearing of his volunteer work with prisons, a family friend told him of a prison ministry workshop being held in the south of England, led by an American (my brother). The Englishman phoned the prison and learned that a new unit was being formed. It was to be called Verne. He rented a car and drove toward Weymouth. As he crossed a bridge to go out to the island where the workshop was being held, he read the sign–"Portland"–and he walked into the workshop just as my brother was calling on the local bishop for an invocation: "Would you pray for us, John?" My brother told me this morning that he had just returned from Capetown where this remarkable man initiated the first Kairos program for prisons in South Africa. Did he dream the dream, or is the dream dreaming him?
Let us look at the way this works in our lives. When the flow of desire of our inner spirit impregnates the matter of our job. (I want to speak of the difference between work and a job. We have a job in order to make money. We have a "work" because it is the divine working through us in the world. This later definition borders on play. At this point, the two–work and play–merge. And, it is at this point that we find we are doing our soul-work…Feng Shui with Feeling.)
A lawyer loves to solve problems, to discover new moves, like a game of chess. Similarly, a pathologist loves to diagnose and an oncologist loves to cure. A sculptor loves to see what forms will emerge from the marble, and the chef which flavors awaken all the senses and bring the vegetable or fish to its highest level. Are they at work or at play? As Plato says, it has to do with love and love is a spirit that mediates, according to Plato, between Heaven and Earth. I would suggest, creating a vesica and, always, a vortex.
Is there pure play, seemingly without work? Is it not when we lose our ego identity and, we might say, tumble back into the black hole? When we enter the realm of not knowing? And this is the place, according to the cosmologists, that living particles submit themselves to in order to emerge (eons later) into new forms?
["The dark, dark, dark,– they all go into the dark." Eliot] Passionate Love-making is like this–when it is with total abandon.
Feng Shui as an art form, as a form of urban planning or interior design, speaks to our modern sense of well-being at work and at play. It is practiced today in China, especially Hong Kong, and has been making its way to the United States during the past twenty years. In the cityscape, high buildings replace mountains, roads are scrutinized as rivers once were. A Feng Shui practitioner pays attention to the size, shape, and even color of skyscrapers, the direction and turns of overpasses and roads, and the angle of a building's corner. One manual says:
If an apartment building has towers that give it the shape of a meat cleaver, the occupant may be eating, sleeping, and working on the edge. Living in the tower, the handle of the knife, on the other hand, can improve the residents' chi, giving them a sense of control.
I was told by a Feng Shui master visiting in Dallas of a business park built over Indian burial grounds that failed again and again under continually new ownership. He said a sacrifice needed to be made to the spirits of the Indians buried there before a propitious future could be hoped for.
How are the principles of Feng Shui working for you in your work or in your play? Does your office have a window? Does it open? Water enters the office space through the imagination, a moistening or even dissolving of rigid thought or routine. Play many times takes us outside where the powers of wind and water play with the rigidity of our structured lives. Perhaps we could begin to pay attention to the forms of our work–not only desks, chairs, windows, floor coverings, but work habits that need loosening, freeing up to allow a gentle breeze to blow through.
So, What is this force which is always at work on us, shaping us, directing us through our desires, our yearnings, our longings, compelling us into work, breaking us away from routine and moving us into play? Is it not the Divine at play in the creation of the universe?
Feng shui is an ancient art form that, thankfully, has not been totally lost showing the divine at play with itself, within the ch'i of the earth and within each one of us. So that when we are moving in harmony; when the force is with us; when we're in the groove; when the centerboard of the sailboat is humming; when we're on a roll (is that a surfing term?); when we're in the flow; when we're following our bliss; "as a skate's heel sweeps smooth on a bow bend"[Hopkins]; "when the end is our beginning"[Eliot]; when as above is as below; when what is without is within; when spirit and soul have merged; when work and play conjoin–that is Feng Shui with Feeling.

Due to historic rains and flooding in the south, Luke Bryan has been forced to postpone his concert originally scheduled for Saturday, March 12.
Bryan was going to perform at the CenturyLink Center in Bossier City, Louisiana as part of his Kill the Lights Tour, but due to concerns over flooding in the area, the concert has been rescheduled "in interest of safety," according to a post on the CenturyLink Center's Facebook page.
UPDATE!!! Luke Bryan's "Kill The Lights" March 12th concert has been RESCHEDULED for May 18th, 2016.Posted by CenturyLink Center on Thursday, March 10, 2016
The Weather Channel states that some parts of the South have received as much as 23 inches of rain, and flooding is occurring in parts of Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi. Bossier City itself has received nearly 16 inches of rain, and more heavy rain is expected throughout Friday (Mar. 11).
Bryan's concert has been rescheduled for May 18, and all tickets for the original show will be honored on the new date. Opening act Dustin Lynch will still be able to perform at the show as well.
Now that Bryan has postponed his Bossier City concert, his last stop of his Kill the Lights Tour until after the ACM Awards is on Friday night in Little Rock, Arkansas. He'll pick his tour back up on April 7 in West Virginia.
It's too bad that those in Bossier City won't get to see Bryan on the original concert date, but his show is definitely worth the wait. You can tune in below to watch him perform "Play It Again" during a Kill the Lights Tour stop in Peoria, Illinois.
Our prayers go out to all those who are affected by the flooding in the south.

Anisimov's third-period goal leads Blackhawks past Pens
Artem Anisimov scored a power-play goal in the third period, and the Chicago Blackhawks continued their winning streak against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.
Artem Anisimov scored a power-play goal in the third period, and the Chicago Blackhawks continued their winning streak against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.
It's official: The Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins will play in the Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium on Jan. 1, 2019. We know many of you are irritated the Blackhawks are in another outdoor game. Get over it. The best Winter Classics are the ones where the venue is the star, and it would have been nonsensical to not have the Blackhawks in the Notre Dame game given their regional appeal. The venue should also produce an outdoor game local ratings bounce-back for Chicago: They were down 35 percent at St. Louis in 2017 when compared to 2015's game at Washington. The Blackhawks are still a national ratings driver. At this point, they're hockey's John Cena: widely popular, selling lots of merch and leaving smart fans frustrated that new talent isn't getting over. (Please wait your turn again, Nashville.) Although, unlike Cena, the Blackhawks don't always win, going 1-4 in outdoor games. If nothing else, be happy the Winter Classic is being played in a state without an NHL team, hopefully opening the door for games at Lambeau Field in Green Bay (featuring the Blackhawks) and Safeco Field in Seattle (also featuring the Blackhawks, probably). Also be happy you're not Jonathan Toews, having to answer the same questions about wind and sun glare and youth pond hockey for the sixth time since 2009, while stewing over the fact that two real points are on the line in a gimmick game.
Northwestern is used to flying under the radar. One year removed from making its first NCAA tournament, the Wildcats now have a target on their back.
Brandon Wimbush threw for 164 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score as No. 9 Notre Dame rallied in the rain and wind to beat Navy 24-17 Saturday.
No. 8 Ohio State scored on its first six possessions -- including J.T. Barrett's 100th career touchdown pass -- as the Buckeyes routed Illinois 52-14 on Saturday and clinched the Big Ten East title.
The Boston Bruins will meet the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2019 Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium. It's the fourth Winter Classic for Chicago and the third for Boston.
Bryant McIntosh scored 21 points and Scottie Lindsey added 20 to lead No. 20 Northwestern to an 82-74 win over La Salle in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday.
Northwestern's 39-0 victory over Minnesota Saturday is its largest victory margin in a Big Ten game since a 48-0 defeat of Illinois in 1970, also in Evanston.
Clayton Thorson had three touchdown passes, Justin Jackson added 166 yards rushing on 31 carries and Northwestern won its sixth straight with a 39-0 rout of Minnesota on Saturday.
N'western's 21-year gap between 6-game winning streaks pales next to an ongoing one. Indiana last won 6 straight in its 1967 Rose Bowl season. After beating Minn. 39-0 Sat., NU faces Illinois next, seeking its 1st 7-game streak since a school-record 9 wins in a row in its '95 Rose Bowl season.
The 39-0 Northwestern win vs. Minnesota Saturday is its largest victory margin ever over the Gophers, surpassing a 42-6 W in 1943, also in Evanston. It's NU's 2nd shutout against Minn. in 3 years (27-0 in 2015).
Aaron Falzon making his first appearance since November 2016. Was one of Northwestern's best perimeter shooters in the 2015-16 season. 6-foot-8 forward.
Hot start for Northwestern against La Salle after suffering a loss on Wednesday night. They have 11 points -- Bryant McIntosh has scored or assisted every point thus far.
Northwestern's Justin Jackson today joined former Wisconsin Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne as the only Big Ten players to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards in all four seasons. Only eight other players have ever done it.

Major Conference To Draw World's Top Scientists
Discussions to Focus on Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Human Health
Washington, DC
- How global warming impacts species and the consequences for human health is among several topics to be addressed at a major scientific conference, entitled, "Healthy Ecosystems, Healthy People," June 6-11 in Washington, D.C.
Scientists from around the world will explore the connections between biodiversity, ecosystems and human health, as well as solutions to current environmental challenges. Scheduled to speak are Edward O. Wilson, the two-time Pulitzer Prize award winner, Stanford University's Paul Ehrlich, Conservation International President Russell Mittermeier, and Earth Policy Institute President Lester Brown. Argentina's Lilian Corra, Vice President of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment, will also speak, as will Canada's David Schindler of the University of Alberta.
The conference is being organized by the International Society for Ecosystem Health (ISEH) and the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science (CABS) at Conservation International.
The program has four main themes. The first day will focus on linkages between biodiversity and ecosystem health; the second day will concentrate on the connections between ecosystem health and human health; day three will address the links between biodiversity and human health; the final day will integrate the recommendations made in the first three days and result in specific policy recommendations.
"Earth's most precious plant and animal species have never been under as much threat as they are today," said Gustavo Fonseca, Executive Director of the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science at Conservation International. "This conference is designed to address the most critical challenges to biodiversity and the health of our planet, and to produce tangible solutions to those challenges."
Topics will include:
The Future of Life
Climate Change and Biodiversity
Human Population Growth: A Forgotten Factor in Ecosystem Health
Infectious Disease: Ecological Insights for Conservation and Bioterrorism
Assessing the Health of "Urban Ecosystems"
Health, Environment and Economic Development
"Only through this type of collaboration across various disciplines-natural, social and health sciences-can we actually succeed in making significant leaps forward in protecting our planet's health," said Robert Costanza, President of the International Society for Ecosystem Health.
Dr. David Suzuki, host of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's popular science series,
The Nature of Things
, will speak at the conference banquet on Saturday, June 8th. The author of more than 30 books and a world leader in sustainable ecology, Dr. Suzuki is also an internationally respected geneticist.
Joining conference organizers ISEH and CABS are several co-sponsors: The World Health Organization, The United Nations Environment Programme, The Fogarty Center for Advanced Study in the Health Sciences and The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
The conference, expected to draw approximately 1,000 scientists, policy-makers and academics, will be held at the Marriott Wardman Park on Connecticut Avenue, NW, in Washington, D.C.
Center for Applied Biodiversity Science
(CABS) based at Conservation International, strengthens the ability of CI and other institutions to accurately identify and quickly respond to emerging threats to Earth's biological diversity. CABS brings together leading experts in science and technology to collect and interpret data about biodiversity, to develop strategic plans for conservation and to forge key partnerships in all sectors toward conservation goals.

"We had such a fantastic time in Cape Town. We were sad saying goodbye to Doug at the airport, we had become friends. Our time in Sabi Sands was amazing as well. Everything from the accommodations to our guides, the food and the organized schedule was beautiful. The animal sightings were astonishing: all varieties of kudu, elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, warthogs, giraffes, and on and on. We even tracked wild dogs on a hunt (and successful kill). I certainly left Africa with much of it set deep in my heart. Can't wait to come back. It was the kind of trip that lets me come home and not just feel, but actually KNOW that I was on vacation."

In so doing, it shows the feasibility of applying the lifetime income approach to measuring human capital forcomparative analysis, both across countries and over time. It also highlights the feasibility of applying the methodology to the categorical data (i.e. by 5-year or 10-year age group) that are
Statistics Working Paper N. 40- 2011/5 - Following recommendations from the Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission (2009), this OECD Statistics Working Paper proposes the use of a new methodology to measure the joint distribution of households. income, consumption and wealth. Based on a multidimensional extension of the Atkinson generalized mean framework, the paper justifies the application of this methodology based on a set of standard
Statistics Working Paper N. 39- 2011/4 - This paper reports on revision properties of different de-trending and smoothing methods (cycle estimation methods), including PAT with MCD smoothing, a double Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter and the Christiano-Fitzgerald (CF) filter.

Statistics Working Paper N. 36- 2011/1 - Every house is different. It is important that house price indexes take account of these quality differences. Hedonic methods which express house prices as a function of a vector of characteristics (such as number of bedrooms and bathrooms, land area and location) are particularly useful for this purpose.
