If you participate in the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with a Health Savings Account (HSA), this message is very important: keep receipts of your Health Savings Account (HSA) spending – this is an IRS requirement. Essentially, any money that comes out of your HSA and is coded as a distribution by your HSA institution must have a receipt showing the distribution was an eligible medical expense. The only exception is when a distribution is rolled over to another HSA and you must account for this on your tax return. (more…)

Hello, my name is Madison Williams and I have dystonia. Dystonia is a movement disorder that makes my muscles contract in many painful ways. The reason way I am writing to you today is because on Sunday, June 22 Dystance4Dystonia will take place at the Detroit Zoo supporting the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF). The Foundation provides resources about treatments, specialists and even connections with support groups, to families who have a family member with Dystonia. In an effort to support DMRF’s cause, Dystance4Dystonia spreads awareness, generates donations for DMRF, lets those in attendance show support for their loved ones, and supports their mission to make the freedom to move a reality for everyone by making medical advancements with treatment options and one day finding a cure!

On April 16, Rowman & Littlefield will release Motorsports and American Culture: From Demolition Derbies to NASCAR. Co-edited by communications instructor Dr. Mark Howell and Dr. John Miller, a professor of English at Longwood University in Virginia, a motorsports scholar.
The book is a collection of essays covering all facets of motorsports commonly seen in North America. Scholars from across the United States provided articles exploring a diverse assortment of topics — everything from gender and ethnicity in NASCAR to 19th-century train wrecks staged before spectators at the Iowa State Fair. Research into various forms of motorsports have never been collected in one book before until now.
The book will be introduced at the national Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association conference in Chicago next week; Howell will be at the meeting presenting a lecture on recent policies within NASCAR introduced to address the growing problem of serious brain trauma.

Monks from the Mystical Arts of Tibet will introduce a special screening of the Academy Award-nominated film, Kundun, at the Milliken Auditorium on Monday, April 14, at 7:45 PM, with a live performance of the multi-phonic chanting featured in this fascinating film about the dramatic life of a young boy, discovered in one of the world’s remotest places, and destined to become the world-renowned Dalai Lama.
Directed by Martin Scorcese and written by Melissa Matheson, Kundun tells the true story of a young boy found living with a family of Tibetan farmers in a small hamlet, near that country’s border with China — and what happens when the two year-old child displays a remarkable ability to correctly identify the personal possessions of the recently deceased 13th Dalai Lama. What follows is the amazing story of the 14th Dalai Lama, from his escape from Tibet to his years of exile as a spiritual leader and advocate for peace. Kundun is scored by Philip Glass’s unique electronic compositions, and was nominated for four academy awards.
The monks are at the Dennos Museum Center, April 14 -19, where they will create an intricate sand painting similar to the one in the film. (more…)
