The high cost of prescription drugs has become an increasingly pressing concern for policymakers, insurers, and families. New drugs—like those now available for hepatitis C— offer tremendous medical benefits, but at a cost that puts them out of reach for many patients. In an effort to address the affordability dilemma, the Louisiana Department of Health has recently introduced a novel “subscription” model under which Asegua Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Gilead Sciences, will supply, for a negotiated sum, enough hepatitis C drugs to cure virtually all incarcerated and Medicaid patients suffering from hepatitis C in Louisiana over the next five years.
On Monday, July 22, the Brookings Institution’s Hutchins Center on Fiscal & Monetary Policy and the USC-Brookings Schaeffer Initiative for Health Policy co-hosted a discussion of the Louisiana experiment as well as other novel approaches to increasing prescription drug affordability. Featured speakers included Louisiana Secretary of Health Rebekah Gee and Wendell Primus, senior advisor to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, whose office is currently working on legislation to lower prescription drug prices.

I've been experimenting with making flowers from Artista Soft - I use this non-edible modelling material for some removable keepsake cake toppers, but wanted to see how it would adapt to finer work such as flowers - not too shabby, it would seem!
This is inspired by/part of a forthcoming cake commission with a Gothic/Steampunk theme...can't wait to do it!

For experimentation, sometimes I combine self-composed music with visual art. One composition is set in a satirical tone to depict a phenomenon in which teenagers chase parties and become less inhibited from taking drugs. The F# harmonic minor scale music clip starts out with psychedelic music with futuristic sound effects, which symbolize a charm that the sense of mystery brings. However, it ends with suspicious music with heavy dose of stringed music, which symbolizes depression and loss after coming back to reality and leaving the temporary pleasure. The other composition is about the musical and physical representation of the process of adopting cultural diversity and exchanges of multidisciplinary ideas, a cornerstone of university learning. The beauty, texture, and endless possibilities of a singular color shine much brighter when it is mixed with and contrasted against others. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.

It is a piece I created for a fictitious Electro Party at night club after composing the music, which can be commercial background music. The neon lighting and drug at night club give me the idea of using nail polish to create those fluorescent effects that seem attractive and desirable; however, they also cause dizziness and vertigo when getting too bright and strong. The movement of the colors also reminds me of those party people dancing.
2-b)
It is a piece I created for a fictitious Music Festival, where people from all over the world get bonded together by music, and everyone travels to enjoy and share diversity. It was also based on a self-composed music clip, which can also serve as commercial background music.
While making and listening to this music clip, C major makes me feel peaceful and healing. Various colors symbolize people from different places, and the water symbolizes the festival and music itself. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.
Blow dryer, meet ping pong ball. Now, if only our blow dryer had a no-heat setting.
I always love the blower at the Exploratorium that you can float a beach ball on, but for some reason I hadn't really ever tried it at home. I hope everyone tries this for themselves at some point, it is simply too much fun.
I was out shooting today with Nailbender and tcb3. While we were standing around talking for a few minutes, I decided to do an exeriment to see how well my Canon 70-200 f/4L would drop the background pond and pasture from behind our drink cans. It did pretty well.

ascend the third highest peak in California and this is the sage advice you will receive .
the University of California operates several research stations in the White Mountains on the eastern border of the state, including this one on top of White Mountain Peak (14,246 ft / 4342 m) . during a recent bike/hike to the peak, we saw a pen of pregnant domestic sheep at 12,400' elevation, used for a study of altitude on birth defect, and met researches checking soil temperature gauges which are part of the worldwide GLORIA network of high elevation climate research sites (www.gloria.ac.at/?a=2)

Connectivity and readymade.
Experimenting, manipulating and combining daily life objects in order to attempt, to force or to mystify a workable connection between them, at least to make it visible and/or possible. This exercise is to be considered as a warm-up, a first step towards a further installation or project.
