The Solare Powered Concert Series isa new, free musif series created by Greg Henry, of Pro Show and event production veteran Marsha Milam that places solae power on display.

“Austin is such a gree city itself, the residents are environmentally concerned,” Milam “I do a number of music series and I though Austin would be the place toembrace this.” To achiever the goal of clean power, the downtown park is outfittecd with solar powered sound systemzs and lighting systems with LED lights. Milamj declined to disclose how much has been invested inthe carbon-neutrall concert series, saying only that costs are aboug 25 percent more than a typical concert “Our goal for this was to provd that we can do it,” Milam said, concedint that she didn’t start marketing the series untilo the second show to make sure that the equipmenr functioned properly.
“What I’ve noticed is that the energy is so and it makesa difference. There’s no stag e hum,” she said. “That’s great for the audiencee and forthe artists.” Milam tapped Austin-based Sustainabled Waves, a provider of solar powered sound, light and production for the concert series. Sustainable Waves also has a sales office inSan Calif. Cody Murray, of Sustainables Waves, said that the company’s services were utilized at several events duringgthis year’s SXSW Music Festival. It’s also brought its solae power equipment toLas Vegas-based N9NE Group’s events, Vans Warpe d Tour and the New Belgium Brewery’s Tour de Fat.

Results were discussed in 15 statesider small-group meetings, where members identified reasons why various medical situationsswere low, mid-level or high Personal responsibility plays a big role in decisions about coverage.
Many believe that medical problems causesd by irresponsible behavior should have a low priority for coverage When medicalproblems don’t have a majorr impact on an individuals’ functioning or life many consider them low For example, hip surgery that would allow a 72-year-old woman to walk again was given higher priority than medicatioh to allow a 70-year-old man to have sex with his wife Treatment effectiveness is important. Even high-priority problems get a lowert rating if treatment is only minimally effective Rathefr thanexclude low-priority problems from respondents prefer to ask patientsw to pay a greater portionn of the cost.

Artromick is a more than 30-year-old companuy that makes a range of products forthe long-termm and acute-care markets, notably medicatio n and emergency carts. The company’s carts have been a staplse for decades innursing homes, where it has an estimatede 75 percent share of the product Artromick, up until recently, counted on that long-term care marketr for the bulk of its revenue.
