INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL KAISERHello everyone.
"And the beat goes on........................"
INTERVIEW with MICHAEL KAISER
I heard Michael Kaiser - head of the Kennedy Center for the Arts since 2001 - speak at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco last month, and asked him if we would sit for a brief interview. Michael's ideas and positions on a number of issues facing the arts community are thought provoking, and I think you will enjoy his responses to my questions.
Here is a quick bio: Michael M. Kaiser is President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Dubbed "the Turnaround King" for his work at The Kansas City Ballet, the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, the American Ballet Theater and the Royal Opera House, Michael has earned international renown for his expertise in arts management. A Cultural Ambassador for the U.S. Department of State, he advises performing arts organizations around the world, working with arts leaders in over 60 countries. He has created an online education forum for arts administrators at artsmanager.org, where professionals and students in the field can share experiences, seek employment, and post opportunities. He founded "Arts In Crisis: A Kennedy Center Initiative" in early February, which is currently providing free arts management consultation to almost 350 arts organizations across the United States.
And here is the interview:
BARRY: You have gotten a lot of media attention lately about your advice to struggling arts organizations that they should not make cuts to their artistic programming or to their marketing budgets. You've said that you think "that the problem is almost always not spending too much, but no development of adequate revenue, and that cost cutting is not a good long term strategy". At the core of your philosophy is the mantra for arts organizations "to produce great art, well marketed". For those readers not familiar with your argument, can you please expand on what you mean?
MICHAEL: I believe that the fiscal health of arts organizations depends on a robust inflow of revenue. What creates cash flow? Good programming (artistic and educational) supported by aggressive marketing. And yet, troubled arts organizations invariably cut these two areas first, since they represent discretionary spending. What evolves is a vicious cycle of less programming and marketing yielding less revenue yielding more cuts, etc. etc.
This is especially true in the current environment. When arts organizations are competing for a smaller pool of contributed dollars and ticket sales, they must compete harder, not less hard. This means more interesting programming and more aggressive marketing. When arts organizations are forced to cut budgets, I prefer them to cut these two vital areas last. I prefer to save on everything that does not relate to programming and marketing. Sometimes cutting these two areas is required but it should be a last resort.
BARRY: Following-up - You are quoted in a February of this year piece in the Washington Post as saying that you are: "not as concerned about smaller organizations -- which are used to dealing with difficult situations -- as (you) are about groups that are misdirecting efforts at downsizing." But for those small to medium organizations that have undergone huge budget cuts due to declining revenues from virtually all of their sources, and thus may have no choice left but to cut either marketing or programming, what would you tell them to do? Many are in danger of closing their doors. Is part of the problem that the arts & culture sector is overbuilt with too much duplication for the marketplace to support? Left alone the marketplace will arguably weed out poorly managed organizations and those that don't attract sufficient public support – and most of those will likely be smaller or newer organizations. Are we more likely then to see only the larger cultural institutions survive in the new arts landscape?
MICHAEL: What I said was that I am most concerned for the mid-sized organizations because they do not have the flexibility of the smaller organizations and do not have the resources of the larger ones. Mid-sized organizations typically have developed a larger infrastructure that is at risk in this environment. I am very concerned that the organizations that are 'weeded out' will be the ones with underpowered managements, not necessarily those with poor artistic product.
BARRY: In your remarks to the San Francisco arts community at a Commonwealth Club address last month you observed that arts organizations, in their attempts to fundraise, too often fail to market "caring about our organizations". You opined that we should better market the organization's image and value, and that institutional marketing (selling and branding the organization itself) need not be prohibitively costly. What did you mean by that? Do you have any practical advice to offer organizations to more effectively do that?
MICHAEL: I believe that there are two types of marketing: programmatic marketing and institutional marketing. Programmatic marketing is the marketing we all do – advertising, brochures, web sites, etc – to sell tickets. I am more concerned about institutional marketing – the things we do to get our communities excited about us as an organization. In my experience, it is these activities that drive fund-raising. Example of institutional marketing include major artistic and educational programs, special events, exhibitions, high profile appearances, etc. There is a classic example of the institutional marketing we did at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in my book, The Art of the Turnaround.
BARRY: You also said that you believe 'individual donations' are the key to fundraising stability for the arts. I assume you have concluded that the other sources of arts income -- corporate, foundation, and government support, combined with earned income are all inadequate or unreliable – or both. Is that right? Please explain why?
MICHAEL: I believe that grants from governments, foundations and corporations are bounded. Arts organizations that rely only on these sources will not grow with inflation or beyond. There is no limit to the amount of individual donations that can be raised.
BARRY: Another point you made in your talk, was that arts organizations often need a different Board of Director composition at different stages of the organization's growth, and that the culture of the Board must change as the organization grows. How do you recognize when that culture needs to be changed and how do you get Board members to move on when that time comes?
MICHAEL: I believe it is clear to every arts executive when a board is not functioning properly. Frequently the board is 'poaching' – making the decisions that the staff should be making. Or the board members may not be as involved with the fund-raising of the organization as is needed at that point in its history.
Someone, ideally the Board Chair or the Head of the Nominating (or Governance) Committee will work with the Executive Director to determine a course for re-shaping a board. I have frequently asked a board member to resign a seat to make room for someone who can better serve the organization at that time.
BARRY: One of your suggestions that caught my interest was that arts organization leaders ought to make a list of the 100 people in the community who could change the life of their organization. Can you elaborate on that concept and how it could be used? You also said that a valuable exercise for the leadership of arts organizations is to carve out time each week to consider how to make next year easier. What did you mean?
MICHAEL: I believe that in every community there are 100-300 people who could truly help the organization if they were engaged. I suggest every arts organization make such a list and work aggressively to bring those people to events, meet with them periodically, make sure they see important news stories about the organization etc. A disciplined campaign to reach these people is required.
I believe that what makes next year easier is to do the institutional marketing today that brings new audience members, donors and Board members to the organization and enlivens those that already exist. So making time to do institutional marketing every week is essential.
BARRY: What do you think the role of the NEA ought to be in the current arts & culture economic climate? Do you think the endowment should shift any of its priorities? Do you think it ought to re-think where its' funding goes? Do you think it ought to launch new initiatives that address specific weaknesses in the arts management ecosystem? Is the Arts In Crisis initiative you have launched at the Kennedy Center to help troubled arts organizations something the Endowment should have done? Why or why not?
MICHAEL: I am not qualified to say how the NEA should function. I do believe that the majority of funding should go to small and mid-sized organizations (and organizations that serve under-served populations). I also believe that all grants should be challenge grants. I am not certain whether the NEA has the people resources to mount programs like Arts in Crisis.
BARRY: You observed that most arts organizations need a new perspective every decade. Do you think senior leadership at arts organizations should have term limits; that key employees should have a sunset date (like the Hewlett Foundation imposes) when they should be required to leave the organization?
MICHAEL: I do believe that there needs to be turnover amongst personnel, particularly artistic personnel in presenting organizations. I do not think that is required in producing organizations, and certainly not in founder-driven organizations. I cannot prescribe exactly how long a term should be.
BARRY: Apart from the economic problems facing arts & cultural organizations, what do you think are the major challenges facing the arts & culture "field" as a whole, and what thoughts can you share about how some of those priorities might be addressed.
MICHAEL: I think our biggest challenge is our inability to increase productivity. This means that we suffer from inflation so much more than other industries. This means that we have to find ways to cover our costs. Historically this was accomplished by raising ticket prices but we have priced ourselves out of the market – many people can no longer to be habitual arts consumers. I believe we have to work to increase our fund-raising capabilities so we can reduce our reliance on ticket prices.
This requires far more sophisticated marketing and fund-raising knowledge that many arts professionals have; we need to spend more on arts management training if we are going to have robust arts sector in the future.
BARRY: You said that you think major donors give larger amounts of money to organizations when those organizations become part of their social lives. I can see that in the largest cultural institutions like the major symphonies, ballets, operas and museums in the major cities. Do you think that works across the board irrespective of the size or the organization, and how do organizations (particularly smaller ones) increase their role so that they are a larger part of their major donor's social lives?
MICHAEL: Absolutely. I see many smaller organizations, and community organizations, playing a central role in the lives of their constituents. This is something that any arts organization can work to achieve.
BARRY: What has been your experience thus far with your online Arts Manager.com "Arts In Crisis" support program for arts organizations? What insights into the management of our organizations has offering this service taught you? Do you think there ought to be some kind of institutional / systemic training opportunities made (widely) available to arts leaders so that they might improve their managerial skills levels? Looking at that issue from another perspective, how can we mentor younger arts administrators and provide them with quality professional development training and nonprofit business skills enhancement if much of our current senior arts leadership never got that kind of support in the first place?
MICHAEL: I have been trying for two decades to get the funding community to appreciate the need for better arts management training. We spend so much on training artists but so little on training the people who must find the resources for their work. It makes no sense to me. The biggest thing I have learned from all of our arts management training programs is that there is a tremendous thirst for training, and that board members need training as well.
BARRY: I ask this question of every interviewee. If you had one million dollars that you could spend any way you wanted to improve the arts & culture sector, how would you spend it (different from the Arts In Crisis program, as that program is already up and running)?
MICHAEL: I would select ten amazing young, small arts organizations and give them each $100,000 to plan and produce a life-changing set of programs.
Thank you very much Michael.
Have a good week.

Festivals and Holidays in MalaysiaKirsty Turner
Malaysian festivals tend to be loud and colourful, marked with plenty of singing, dancing and parades through the streets. Malaysian people tend to be tolerant of people from other faiths and welcome them into their homes to celebrate with them. These festivals are a good opportunity for foreigners to learn more about Malaysian culture and hospitality.
Here are some major Malaysian festivals to look out for. Many festivals revolve around the lunar calendar, so dates vary slightly from year to year.
New Year's Day
January 1st is a public holiday and New Year's Eve is marked in most cities with sporting events, competitions, exhibitions and cultural performances by Malaysian multi-ethnic groups.
Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year lasts for 15 days and is very colourful, filled with feasting and firework displays. Gather to watch the traditional dragon and lion dances, which take place to the beat of gongs and drums. Penang is the best place to experience Chinese New Year in Malaysia.
This festival is celebrated by Hindus on the tenth month of the Hindu calendar. Thaipusam is a day for penance and atonement and during this time devotees to fulfill a vow they have made to Lord Muruga, who is also known as Lord Subramaniam. Devotion is demonstrated by fasting and piercing their bodies with elaborately decorated metal structures decorated with colored paper, fresh fruit and flowers and parading through the streets. To get the most out of this festival, head to Kuala Lumpur to watch Lord Muruga's jeweled chariot carried through the streets to the Batu Caves in Selangor.
Wesak Day
Buddhists celebrate this festival in May to remember the birth, enlightenment and ascension of Lord Buddha. The daytime is filled with visits to the temple and merit making, while there are processions of floats and candles in the streets after dark.
Gawai Dayak
On the 1st of June the people of Sarawak celebrate the good annual with parties, games, processions and feasting. People gather to sing traditional songs, dance and drink the locally produced rice wine. Children bring their parents plates of food and cattle is sacrificed to ensure that there is a good harvest the following season.
Hari Raya Aidil Fitri
Also known as Hari Raya Puasa, this Muslim festival marks the end of fasting throughout the month of Ramadhan, which is the tenth month of the Muslim calendar. The celebrations last for one month and feature bright decorations, feasting and parties
Lantern and Moon Cake Festival
This festival is celebrated by all Malaysians, who hang colourful lanterns on their houses and eat moon cakes in this celebration of peace and unity.
Hungry Ghost Festival
According to Chinese tradition the gates of hell are opened during the 15th day of the seventh lunar month to allow the hungry ghosts to wander the Earth in search of food and possibly seek revenge. The Chinese hold a festival at this time to remember their dead ancestors and pay tribute to them, setting aside food for them and burning money so that their relatives can use it in the afterlife.
The Festival of Lights, also known as Deepavali, is celebrated as the triumph of good over evil, marking the legendary time that Lord Krishna is said to have defeated Narkansura. Mainly celebrated by Hindus, people visit the temple during the day and lit candles and oil lamps in the evening. There are colourful parades through the street and much merrymaking.
Unlike most Asian countries, Malaysia celebrates Christmas much like people do in western countries. Houses are decorated with lights and a large Christmas tree, carols are sung and the traditional roast turkey dinner is often eaten to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

As the genially sarcastic Archie, Ed Gardner was a product of New York's lower East Side. Noted for his stupendous misuse of the English language, the character had a penchant for succumbing to money making schemes and beautiful women�but, the actor was a brilliant and shrewd businessman. Duffy's Tavern was so popular that it spawned a hit song, a comic strip, a motion-picture, a television program, and a U.S.O. Tour. Based on a decade's worth of research, this book documents the entire history of the series, including Ed Gardner's personal life, contract negotiations and much more! Over 150 never-before-published photographs are included. Fully indexed.

LP Not Giving Up
In a press conference Monday, the Liberal Party claimed that based on 88 certificates of canvass (81 percent) obtained by the party, Mar Roxas led Jejomar Binay by 137,404 votes. LP stalwarts did not reveal though whose idea was it to publicly give Roxas… false hopes.
During Liberal Party's press con last Monday, May 17, PAGASA reported that temperature in Metro Manila sizzled at 37.3 degrees Celsius. Now you know why Binay's lead over Roxas evaporated.
Based on official tally though, Mar Roxas is losing the vice presidential race to Jejomar Binay. Roxas and the Liberal Party are shocked. They couldn't believe that Binay and even Erap would actually be this strong. In fact, the Binay-Erap tandem has become LP's second strongest competition… next only to the tandem of Conrado De Quiros and William Esposo.
Questions and Answers
Q1: "Senator, hindi ba kayo naaawa kay Governor Salceda? Sunog na sunog na eh."
A1: "Sus! 'Di naman halata. Hayaan na natin. 'Tsaka, nag-sunblock lotion 'yan kanina."
Q2: "Senator, bakit kayong lahat naka-yellow pero 'yung mama sa likuran naka-blue?"
A2: "Naku! Hayaan mo na siya. Basta ang iboboto ng pamilya namin, 'yung laging naka-dilaw!"
Q3: "Meron po bang 'B?'"
A3: "Alam mo, taga-IBC 13 ka na nga lang, ikaw pa ang malakas mang-intriga! Next question pls!"
Q4: "Senator, kung mananalo po kayo at matatalo si Mar Roxas… why not?"
A4: "Lokohan na 'to! Tama na! Aalis na kami."
Vocal Local
In Quezon City: Actress and defeated vice mayoral candidate Aiko Melendez is reportedly filing a petition before the Comelec against what her camp alleged were "preprogrammed" PCOS machines. A shocked Melendez claimed she got zero votes in her bailiwicks… something that if proven true will finally disprove the popular notion that many Quezon City residents are idiots.
In Manila: After being trounced by incumbent mayor Alfredo Lim in the May 10 polls, mayoral candidate Lito Atienza filed an election protest claiming that some PCOS machines may have been "preprogrammed" to make Lim win even in some known Atienza bailiwicks. Asked if he took the cue from Quezon City's Aiko Melendez, Atienza replied, "Definitely not! I can spell 'bailiwick.'"
Accompanied by his loyal supporters, defeated mayoral candidate Lito Atienza went to the local Comelec office Monday and filed an electoral protest. But tension rose outside the office when Kuya Kim Atienza suddenly appeared, and told his dad's supporters, "Maaaadlang pipol…. vote mo, show mo!"
In Quezon Province: Outgoing Governor Rafael Nantes was killed when his private chopper crashed in Lucena City Monday. Supporters of the defeated re-electionist were quick to deny rumors that the chopper crashed because of"shipment" overload.
Remember Rafael Nantes? The former congressman and outgoing Quezon governor who had been linked to the illegal drug trade was killed in a plane crash Monday. Probers are now checking on reports that Nantes' private pilot was flying 'high.'
And finally, in my home province of Batangas: Actress Vilma Santos was re-elected governor… making her the first gubernatorial candidate to win against a corpse.
Kris Stays
Amid calls for her to fulfill a promise, incoming presidential sister Kris Aquino announced Sunday that she's not leaving the country… disappointing the 22,000plus members of the Facebook group, 'Kris Aquino's Despedida,' her brother's critics, and James Yap.
"Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Briefly Noted
Did you read Conrado De Quiros' two-part column "about" and "against" the Hyatt 10, The Firm, and Mar Roxas diehards in the Liberal Party? Geez, these people must be debating among themselves now: who should draft the rejoinder? Will there be a Korina Sanchez vs. Conrado De Quiros Part 2? Abangan!
Survey Says
Sino ang dapat sisihin sakaling matalo si Sen. Mar Roxas?
Ang 'Team Noy-Bi' sa Liberal Party 27%
S'ya mismo at ang mga campaign strategists niya! 46%
Wala. It's his fate to lose. 27%
We have a new survey. Please vote now.
My sincerest apologies to Mark Tare of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism. His group requested for an interview prior to Election Day but due to a tight sked, I failed to grant their request. Anyway, here's PCIJ's online article on political humor: Joke the vote, pun the bets
More Personal
My LA Lakers massacred Los Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Kobe Bryant dropped 40. Wohoo!

Did you know that you can now use Publix Digital Coupons?
I like how easy they have made their digital coupon offers. All you have to do is create an account then log in and select the coupons you would like to use. The coupons are available immediately once you "clip" it. They make it easy to do while you are in the store as well. You can always view your coupons and any new available coupons online from your mobile browser.
To redeem your coupons, all you have to do is enter your registered phone number at checkout or tell the cashier your registered phone number. Your coupons are electronically matched against your purchases and automatically deducted from your bill.
How easy is that?
Right now they have about 60 coupons you can use and there is no limit to the number of coupons you can clip.
Like other digital coupon programs, you can not use a paper coupon and a digital coupon together. According to the frequently asked questions on the site…
Should a paper coupon be accepted for an item, the digital coupon will not be accepted and will remain in your account for future use.
This is a nice option. At stores like Kroger, once you load a digital coupon it will be used first so you have to be careful not to load a digital coupon that may be a lower value that your paper coupon. I set up a dummy account and I thought the process of loading the coupons was pretty simple.
Now, lots of you guys are emailing in a panic worried that Publix may stop accepting traditional paper coupons. Personally I don't think that will happen any time soon. At some point we may see more and more digital opportunities. But, there are too many other folks involved in all that goes into paper coupon that there will not likely be a change overnight!
I like the idea of having another option for coupons. I would gladly welcome additional opportunities for saving money. My only issue as of this point is the fact that digital coupons do not double. Well, I guess it also gives me more work. I suppose now I need to try to keep an eye on the digital coupon page and try to include them in the matchups–tee hee!
Now, what do you guys think? I would love to hear your opinions.

British singing sensation Susan Boyle may be spreading some holiday cheer this Christmas.
According to U.S. retail sources, the singer is currently recording a Christmas album, Billboard.com reported. The details are unknown, but Boyle's record company, Sony, is aiming for an October release date of her upcoming record.
Earlier this month, Boyle kicked off a singing competition in which someone could win the opportunity to duet with the singer on her new album. Contestants can enter "Susan's Search" by uploading a video of them performing "Silent Night."
U.S. & World
According to Billboard, Boyle's debut album, "I Dreamed a Dream," sold over 3.7 millions copies in America, coming in second to Taylor Swift's "Fearless" for last year's total record sales.

Chargers want no slip-ups against Bengals
Two teams going in drastically different directions meet Sunday when the fading Cincinnati Bengals visit Los Angeles to face the rapidly rising Chargers.
The Chargers (9-3) could clinch a playoff berth with a win. They trail the Kansas City Chiefs by a game in the AFC West, but they are two games ahead of the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC wild-card race and three games up on the other wild-card hopefuls.
The scenarios are still complicated at this point. Simply put, the Chargers help their chances to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2013 by collecting their ninth win in 10 games at the StubHub Center.
It might be a challenge to maintain the same level of intensity the Chargers had in a 33-30 win on Sunday night over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers erased a 16-point deficit and won on a last-second field goal that came on the third attempt.
"We address it every week," Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said. "That was an emotional game last week, but that is behind us now. The only thing we can do is work on the team that we have on Sunday."
The Bengals (5-7) wouldn't seem to offer much of a test. But Lynn and the other veterans know not to get cute.
"This is an NFL guy with NFL guys and they have pride," Lynn said. "You prepare for them like you would do for anybody else. Especially against a team that basically has to win out to have a chance at the playoffs."
At one point, the Bengals were 3-1. But a 24-10 loss to the Denver Broncos last Sunday increased the probability of Cincinnati missing the postseason for the third straight season.
And if the losses were not bad enough, the Bengals lost starting quarterback Andy Dalton the previous week with a thumb injury and then this past Sunday lost star wide receiver A.J. Green, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, with a toe problem.
Green finished the season with 46 catches and 694 yards. He averaged 15.1 yards per reception, equaling the second-highest average of his career.
"That's huge," said Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel, who makes his second career start this week in place of Dalton. "At the end of the day, we have other good players out there, and the coaches are going to do a good job of getting those guys in position to make plays.
"We have full confidence that whoever is out there playing receiver is going to make those plays. It's definitely different and you have to draw some things up a little bit differently and move some people around. We're going to have to overcome and make some plays out there in his absence."
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis realizes the daunting task that awaits his team against the Chargers, one of the league's hottest teams.
"Obviously, they've really hit their stride," Lewis said. "They've won close games and been up in games, so they've had the tale of both sides of those. They're playing really well on offense."
Offense, defense and penalties all have contributed to the Bengals' struggles.
"You know how important every game is anyway, then when you are up against the ropes and need these wins everything gets multiplied," Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson said. "Every error, every mistake gets multiplied. It keeps stacking on top of each other."

Funding for Public Broadcasting
Federal funding for public broadcasting amounts to just $1.35 per American, per year. Federal funding supports the best news, children's and music programming available today. Every month more than 170 million Americans – over half of the population of the United States – rely on public broadcasting services. Federal funding for public broadcasting is roughly one one-hundredth of one percent of the federal budget.
If you feel public broadcasting is not—and should not be—a partisan issue. Here are a few things you can do today:
- Invite your friends and family to join 170 Million Americans today.
- Like the campaign on Facebook.
- Follow the campaign on Twitter.
- Tell Congress to support public broadcasting by clicking here.
170 Million Americans for Public Broadcasting is a collaboration of public radio and television stations, national organizations, producers and our viewers and listeners throughout the country in favor of a strong public media in the United States. This project receives no government funding.
Flash from the Past
Fred Rogers appeared before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Communications to challenge the cuts for public broadcasting proposed in 1969.

So let us secede, Blue America and Red America. We can handle the Blue state Republicans, so long as we don't have a lot of ignorant Red state lemmings frustrating our efforts and screwing themselves in the bargain. Secession will enable us both to live as we have chosen without the other's interference. We will prosper, and you will get a clue.
But do stay in touch after the borders slam shut. When you finally tire of living on the modern, corporate plantations of Cargill, Tyson, ConAgra and Smithfield; when you tire of shopping at Wal-Mart and sending your daughters to sling hash at Denny's in hopes that they'll meet the nicer sort of truck driver; when you tire of sneaking into Blue America as illegal white-trash wetbacks eager for casual work dusting our parlors; and when, like men, you finally rise up in rebellion against this immoral usury -- then, and only then, let us talk.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- U.S. government officials said they finalized out-patient Medicare hospital payment increases, which go into effect Jan. 1.
The Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System and Ambulatory Surgical Center updates Medicare payment policies and rates for hospital out-patient and Ambulatory Surgical Center services beginning Jan. 1.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said the payment increase affects hospital out-patient departments in more than 4,000 U.S. hospitals including: general acute care hospitals, in-patient rehabilitation facilities, in-patient psychiatric facilities, long-term acute care hospitals, children's hospitals and cancer hospitals, as well as 5,000 Medicare-participating Ambulatory Surgical Centers.
The Medicare hospital out-patient departments payments will increase 1.8 percent. The increase is based on the projected hospital market basket -- an inflation rate for goods and services used by hospitals -- of 2.6 percent, minus 0.8 percent in statutory reductions, including a 0.7 percent adjustment for economy-wide productivity and a 0.1 percentage point adjustment required by statute, officials said.
Ambulatory Surgical Center payment rates will increase 0.6 percent -- the projected rate of inflation of 1.4 percent minus a 0.8 percent productivity adjustment required by law, officials said.

Ugly Duckling
The Ugly Duckling
Once upon a time down on an old farm, lived a duck family, and Mother Duck had been sitting on a clutch of new eggs. One nice morning, the eggs hatched and out popped six chirpy ducklings. But one egg was bigger than the rest, and it didn't hatch. Mother Duck couldn't recall laying that seventh egg. How did it get there? TOCK! TOCK! The little prisoner was pecking inside his shell.
"Did I count the eggs wrongly?" Mother Duck wondered. But before she had time to think about it, the last egg finally hatched. A strange looking duckling with gray feathers that should have been yellow gazed at a worried mother. The ducklings grew quickly, but Mother Duck had a secret worry.
"I can't understand how this ugly duckling can be one of mine!" she said to herself, shaking her head as she looked at her last born. Well, the gray duckling certainly wasn't pretty, and since he ate far more than his brothers, he was outgrowing them. As the days went by, the poor ugly duckling became more and more unhappy. His brothers didn't want to play with him, he was so
clumsy, and all the farmyard folks simply laughed at him. He felt sad and lonely, while Mother Duck did her best to console him.
"Poor little ugly duckling!" she would say. "Why are you so different from the others?" And the ugly duckling felt worse than ever. He secretly wept at night. He felt nobody wanted him.
"Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers?"
Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and began to question all the other birds. "Do you know of any ducklings with gray feathers like mine?" But everyone shook their heads in scorn.
"We don't know anyone as ugly as you." The ugly duckling did not lose heart, however, and kept on making inquiries. He went to another pond, where a pair of large geese gave him the same answer to his question. What's more, they warned him: "Don't stay here! Go away! It's dangerous. There are men with guns around here!" The duckling was sorry he had ever left the farmyard.
Then one day, his travels took him near an old countrywoman's cottage. Thinking he was a stray goose, she caught him.
"I'll put this in a hutch. I hope it's a female and lays plenty of eggs!" said the old woman, whose eyesight was poor. But the ugly duckling laid not a single egg. The hen kept frightening him.
"Just wait! If you don't lay eggs, the old woman will wring your neck and pop you into the pot!" And the cat chipped in: "Hee! Hee! I hope the woman cooks you, and then I can gnaw at your bones!" The poor ugly duckling was so scared that he lost his appetite, though the old woman kept stuffing him with food and grumbling: "If you won't lay eggs, at least hurry up and get plump!"
"Oh, dear me!" moaned the now terrified duckling. "I'll die of fright first! And I did so hope someone would love me!"
Then one night, finding the hutch door ajar, he escaped. Once again he was all alone. He fled as far away as he could, and at dawn, he found himself in a thick bed of reeds. "If nobody wants me, I'll hide here forever." There was plenty a food and the duckling began to feel a little happier, though he was lonely. One day at sunrise, he saw a flight of beautiful bird's wing overhead. White, with long slender necks, yellow beaks and large wings, they were migrating south.
"If only I could look like them, just for a day!" said the duckling, admiringly. Winter came and the water in the reed bed froze. The poor duckling left home to seek food in the snow. He dropped exhausted to the ground, but a farmer found him and put him in his big jacket pocket.
"I'll take him home to my children. They'll look after him. Poor thing, he's frozen!" The duckling was showered with kindly care at the farmer's house. In this way, the ugly duckling was able to survive the bitterly cold winter.
However, by springtime, he had grown so big that the farmer decided: "I'll set him free by the pond!" That was when the duckling saw himself mirrored in the water.
"Goodness! How I've changed! I hardly recognize myself!" The flight of swans winged north again and glided on to the pond. When the duckling saw them, he realized he was one of their kinds, and soon made friends.
"We're swans like you!" they said, warmly. "Where have you been hiding?"
"It's a long story," replied the young swan, still astounded. Now, he swam majestically with his fellow swans. One day, he heard children on the river bank exclaim: "Look at that young swan! He's the finest of them all!"
And he almost burst with happiness.

How To Quit Weed Without Withdrawals Or Sleepless Nights
Plus: Natural Marijuana Detox At Home
Nice Click…
Because if you're anything like I was…
You've tried to quit weed before (honestly) – and you've still failed!
You probably already know there isn't much help out there for us weed smokers, and the longer you keep smoking pot, the harder it is to quit:
So What's The Good News?
You've just discovered a solution that has helped over 10,000 people quit weed
This guide helps weed smokers go from stoned to 100% clean in both body and mind
Discover The 2 CRITICAL REASONS Many Regular Smokers Trying To Quit – Fail Within 2 Weeks
The active ingredient in marijuana (and the reason you smoke weed) is THC
And THC content, in the weed you smoke, is rising all the time
Weed grown in 2016 is twice as strong as marijuana grown just 7 years ago
This is often overlooked – and many people that smoke weed regularly (or for a long time) are now experiencing serious problems when they try to quit weed
It's crazy, but most people trying to quit weed do nothing to help detoxify
Detox is more important in marijuana than in any other drug…
This is becoming more popular for people quitting weed, because the chemicals in weed have an ability to stay in your body for a long time
Detox designed for marijuana will flush your system of built up toxins, helping you quit weed easily. This can also help stop cravings to smoke weed, created in your body
Sometimes these occur months after you actually stop smoking
Let's talk about your main problem:
**Your problem starts here**
When you inhale weed, THC moves quickly from your lungs to your bloodstream to get you stoned, we know this. But from that point on, weed is completely different to any other drug… Why?
Because after getting you high:
Metabolites of marijuana store in the fat cells of your body and stay there for months
You think that makes it harder to quit?
While still inside your body, marijuana is released slowly back into your bloodstream
This can give you a lack of focus, emotional mood swings, lower energy, headaches, stomach pains, and even sometimes a feeling of still being stoned – even if you haven't smoked for days!
Do you want to know the real problem?
Cravings to smoke more marijuana
IMPORTANT: You may already have a build up of toxins in your body
Smoking too much gives you a build up of toxins:
You continue feeding your addiction. To quit weed without understanding your problem, is kind of like somebody trying to quit smoking cigarettes yet still sucking down 2 or 3 smokes every day
If you are trying to quit weed – and you still feel the need to smoke weed, this could be why. Willpower alone is not the best method to quit marijuana successfully, and you may be going about this the hard way.
Are You Physically Addicted To Weed?
A regular marijuana smoker will experience many physical symptoms when they quit.
Thing is, most smokers believe weed has no physical effects at all
This is another reason why so many have trouble quitting…
Sure, the 'marijuana habit' is mostly psychological
However, contrary to the common belief, modern scientific findings are now showing us that marijuana actually can create physical withdrawals in your body, that smoking weed relieves
This is creating your vicious cycle
You might even notice these physical symptoms when you stop smoking
Have you noticed the common things like:
By removing toxins in your body, you can eliminate cravings and even physical withdrawals
This way of quitting is easier than trying to fight your own thoughts, feelings and desires created in psychological addiction. Smokers now have a real method to follow in order to quit weed…
What Is The Best Way To Quit?
The proven method to quit weed is to deal with your body & mind
Re-establish the way you actually think about weed – and give your body a marijuana detox
This isn't a long process and is great for your health
It is also the most successful method to quit smoking pot
Once you think about marijuana differently, and detox denies your body of any cravings or withdrawals, you will find yourself turning down weed offered to you, much more naturally
YOU having a clear mind and increased energy. Total focus, motivation, clarity. Better health. Deeper relationships, more money, and a new ability to turn down weed easily, and finally get ahead in life…
No matter how difficult it is right now…
When you have control, you can smoke weed less and on your own terms – or not at all…
With this new ability, even people that smoke marijuana daily for years, can quit permanently
Or just cut back to once a month… Remember, you will be in control of your addiction for once, and you will have the power to make that decision, and you will keep this power forever
How would this change your life?

From The Author:
I started smoking weed daily when I was 14 – and that didn't stop until 27.
So that's 13 years – HIGH! I know, a long time. The worst part? For the last few years I was hopelessly trying to quit. Many people told me weed isn't even addictive. If you've been told the same thing, think about alcohol for a second:
Most people drink socially – take it or leave it, right?
But you also have your alcoholics, don't you?
They drink too often – all the time – and it ruins many lives (not only theirs but others too).
Well I was the "alcoholic" of weed.
Now I know for an undeniable fact: Many people are like I was…
…while you lose everything that was given to you…
That's what I went through for years and it stopped me from achieving just about anything.
These days I enjoy a clean life, without smoking weed. I have no addictions, and I can think clearly and make decisions quickly. I look and feel great, and I enjoy more confidence and overall happiness in my life.
All because I learned HOW to quit weed, instead of just "trying to quit" over & over again (like so many people do)
Instead of "trying" I learned HOW to control my actions and how certain I was about them.
Are you still unsure if you should quit weed?
Maybe you still believe marijuana has benefits in your life…
Or (if you're honest) maybe you are seriously worried or even fearful about losing the comfort weed brings, so predictably and so often…
So don't over-complicate the situation!
If you've tried to quit weed before, and you failed, you have a problem.
You Should Be Successful, Right?
…and most people in your position continue to do nothing about it – they just keep smoking weed to escape the problem weed is actually causing
Because most regular smokers get stuck in "Analysis Paralysis" mode.
But for some reason, they never 'think' to blame their weed habit.
There is no doubt in my mind, that in order for you to see the potential in your life explode (beyond anything you could possibly imagine) all you need to do is quit weed…
Are You Ready?
To REALLY take control? Not just "say you want to" and end up stoned next time someone offers you some (have you done that?)
You might not feel like you are ready.
But what I've found over the years is, you are ready
It is no coincidence you are still here, carefully reading this page today. It isn't some fluke that you've just found a full proof plan to quit weed that has already worked for over 10,000 people.
That isn't really up for debate. Anywhere you look you will find good feedback about 'The Complete Guide' because it has worked for many 1000s of people in your position.
Why would you be any different?
…and just to make sure I've included other courses:
These are all unique programs; complete courses on their own, and although I'm including them all I haven't raised the price just yet.
I want EVERYONE to have a chance to quit weed properly
If you are someone that worries about spending money on improving yourself and becoming a better version of yourself, consider this:
How much do you spend on weed in a week?
HONESTLY: "How much of your weekly cash goes 'up in smoke' right now?"
The truth is, NOT quitting weed is costing you a fortune!
But this isn't even about money, is it?
Not even about sleepless nights or painful withdrawals, either…
How much has 'being stoned' cost you in your life – so far?
- In your friends & family?
- In your physical health?
- In your mental health?
- In your appearance?
- In your career or education?
- In your ability to think clearly?
- In your ability to handle emotion?
- In your relationships – with the people you love?
- In your ability to provide for yourself – or anyone?
- In you?
When you smoke weed all the time, it plays a big part in your whole life.
Sometimes you can't even see it!
But you will soon, because when you quit smoking weed every day, your perception of the world will change for the better.
It will soon be very obvious that quitting was the right choice.
And right now you have that decision to make:
1. You can continue smoking weed, until you want to quit again
(it could take weeks, months, or years, but it always comes up again)
2. You could try to quit on your own, yet another time
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results"
– Albert Einstein
3. Or you can learn how to quit weed with me today. It means you can continue smoking for now, as we work together to change how you think about marijuana, and how you perceive being stoned.
Then, you can quit weed in your own time, on your own terms…

President Vladimir Putin is making his visit to Crimea
August 17, 2015 (Ukrinform). Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko compared the trip of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Crimea with the actions of Russian mercenaries in Donbas.
The President wrote this on Facebook. "Putin's visit to Ukrainian Crimea without the consent of the Ukrainian authorities is a challenge to the civilized world and part of the scenario to exacerbate the situation, which is implemented by the Russian military and mercenaries in Donbas. Such visits mean further militarization of the occupied Ukrainian peninsula and increase its isolation," Poroshenko said.
The Ukrainian President stressed that Crimea had a future only as a part of Ukraine.

Russian bombs signed "Toward Berlin!" spotted at exercises in Kaliningrad
August 13, 2015 (UNIAN News Agency) Russian Air Force bomber pilots used training bombs signed "Toward Berlin!" and "To Stalin" at the military drill held in the Kaliningrad region in early August 2015, according to Deutsche Welle citing Bild.
Slogans "Toward Berlin!" and "To Stalin!" were widely used by the Soviet Union's Red Army during the World War II against Nazi Germany, Deutsche Welle reports. The publication reminds that the exercises were held just 500 kilometers from the Germany's capital. Bild refers to Flot.com, the online Navy portal, where the photos were published. It is noted that Flot.com is part of Mil.press media group - Russian private online publication specializing in the navy fleets of the Russian Federation and other countries.
According to Flot.com, within the mentioned drills, the bombing by military transport aircraft An-26 was practiced, for the first time in twenty years. The ongoing campaign for the glorification of the Soviet era in Putin's Russia draws parallels between the struggle against fascism in World War II and Moscow's modern confrontation with the Western world against the backdrop of the conflict in Ukraine, according to the report.
"The inscriptions on bombs "Toward Berlin!" and "To Stalin!" are something more than just an expression of nostalgia; they show portray dangerous tendencies in the Russian government and the army," concludes Bild.

A new finds of black archeologists on the Poltava Battle field
August 10, 2015. Luckily or not, but modern metal detectors are becoming more affordable every year, even for people with average incomes. Hundred people prefer to spend weekend or even a full vacation digging somewhere on the battlefield being armed with spade and appropriate computerized equipment.The use of such equipment for gain, undoubtedly, is a criminal offense but nevertheless such kind of outdoor activity is becoming more and more popular in Ukraine.
All findings are generally not plotted to the map and enter the black market in the hope of selling them to foreign tourists. The state which budget is bursting at the seams, unfortunately, can not properly protect all battlefields. The state also can not organize an appropriate archaeological survey of these fields. Only due to support of the Swedish Society of the Military History (SMB) the first archaeological survey of the Poltava Battle field was made by Swedish-American group of archaeologists headed by Bo Knarrström and Adrian Mandzy eight years ago.
Many finds on the Poltava Battle field were made by the local villagers in their gardens. Many discovered cannonballs, musket balls, firearms and cold steel were transferred to the Poltava Battle Museum, where they can be seen by visitors.
But nevertheless some findings, even though they were made by black archaeologists, can be very interesting for military history. Not long ago a three pound cannon ball and a handful of musket bullets were found near the village of Petrovka where Russian army crossed Vorskla river on June 20, 1709.
It is well known that there was no fighting with Swedish army there because Russians soon left their first fortified camp being seeing that an enemy is not going to advance. Within a few days a new fortified camp was completed near the village of Yakovtsy. So may be these findings, even though they were made by black archaeologists, can be very interesting for military history. I was lucky to learn about these findings before they were sold out and take a picture.

Rat Removal in Claremont and Upland, CA by Rodent Guys
Claremont and Upland, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2014
Rat and rodent infestations are common in house attics and crawlspaces in Southern California homes. These animals are unsanitary and carry diseases that are unhealthy for humans. These rodents also chew wiring and other materials causing significant damage if not eradicated immediately. This makes rat removal in Upland and Claremont, CA important for home safety.
The damage from rodents can cause fires, create leaks in roofs and walls, as well as contaminate food goods in the pantry. Fires have been caused by rodents chewing on wire exposing the protective sheath meant to insulate the hot wire. Once the wire is exposed and flammable material comes in contact with the wire, it has the potential to ignite and catch fire.
Since often times rodents chew their way into a Claremont and Upland, CA home, they leave a hole at their entry point. This hole now allows for future rats and mice to enter, along with the outside weather, including cold air and rain. These holes in the structure will need to be fixed with material that keeps out the rodents and the weather.
Rats and mice are known to frequent the food pantry leaving evidence behind. Because rats and mice defecate indiscriminately their feces are left inside of the food containers they gnaw into. It is recommended to throw away any food rats or other rodents have gained access to.
One of the most damaging materials rats and other rodents destroy in a home is the insulation. The animals nest inside of the insulation and use it as a bathroom. The attic insulation becomes less effective because of the urine saturating the insulation, which compresses it down. This compression leaves less air space, letting out more of the home's conditioned air.
The insulation absorbs the feces and urine creating an unsanitary attic space and overhead rodent toilet for the homeowner. Removal of rodent droppings from rats, mice, raccoon, opossums and other animals is recommended. This should be done by a professional company familiar with the proper safe techniques for this hazardous material.
In more extreme cases it is recommended to remove and replace the insulation. If the insulation is saturated with feces and urine the attic needs to be cleaned, sanitized, and the old hazardous insulation removed. The recommendation is that this be done by a company specializing in this type of removal. The insulation can be replaced with material that is less desirable to rodents and gives better than average insulation value to the home.
Rodent Guys Rat Extermination Services provides these services to Claremont and Upland, CA and perform home inspections to evaluate the level of infestation. Recommendations can then be given, which varies depending on the level of infestation and number of entry points rodents have access to.

After an emotional sendoff that followed a vintage win in Sunday's UFC on Versus 5 main event, Chris Lytle said his announced retirement is set in stone.
And that's a good thing, he said.
Lytle, who concluded a memorable 20-fight UFC career with a third-round submission victory over Dan Hardy at Sunday's Versus-televised event, said the sport thankfully has afforded him the opportunity to call it quits for good.
"I didn't want to go out because I had to go out," he today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com). "I didn't want that to be me.
"I'm not going to change my mind about retiring. It wasn't really a question in my mind (to begin with). I'm fortunate to be in a situation where I'm not in dire need to support myself and my family. If I were, it'd be a different situation. But thankfully, I'm not."
In addition to his contracted pay and sponsorships, Lytle also can thank his many fight-night bonuses for that financial security. Ever since the UFC began publicizing the awards about five years ago, Lytle has racked up 10 bonuses (including a record six "Fight of the Night" awards) that have accounted for $515,000 in extra pay.
After Sunday's fight, which saw him earn both "Fight of the Night" and "Submission of the Night" honors, Lytle told MMAjunkie.com he simply wants to spend more time with his family. After recovering from a knee injury earlier this year, he spent a lot of time at home with his wife and kids, who often have seen the former pro boxer and current Indianapolis firefighter's busy schedule pull him away. But once recovered, Lytle no longer had the same passion to get to the gym.
That's when he knew it was time to call it quits.
"This is not the kind of sport (to compete in) if you don't want to be there," he said. "I felt like I was starting to slip, so I knew I had one more in me, and that was it."
Would he have come to that same realization if it weren't for the knee injury and the time at home?
"No, probably not," he said. "I would have never really had the time away (from the gym) to pick up on what all I was missing back at home."
His family, training partners and UFC officials have all been supportive of that decision. The only group trying to talk him out of retirement have been – not surprisingly – MMA fans.
But even if he didn't win that long-desired UFC title, Lytle was pleased with his final performance in the cage. The performance, the outpouring of support, sharing it with his family, being king for a day?
"It's exactly what I wanted for my last fight," he said. "I couldn't have asked for a better night than that."

FOLLOWING THE GAME'S Pledge of Allegiance and handshakes all around, Larry controlled the tip. Sylix received the batted ball and hit Tyee with a pass like a frozen rope as he moved down the sideline. The Tulameen boy jump-stopped at the 3-point line and launched a perfectly arcing attempt that fell through the bottom of the net, swish! Four of the next five times down the court Tyee repeated the successful shot at the arc, and just like that, 15-2. Coyote called time. The Sasquatch had started the game with a 2-3 zone defense. Coach Chilcotin reasoned that the solid zone could help keep his boys out of foul trouble. But he realized that another approach was in order. He assigned Hondo the task of guarding Tyee man-to-man, as closely as possible, and instructed him to prevent Tulameen from even touching the ball. The rest of the team members were instructed to play a diamond or 1-2-1 zone defense.
Throughout the rest of the half both boys picked up fouls as the officials called Hondo for holding Tyee, and Tyee was caught pushing off Hondo a few times. The other members of both teams started scoring and, with evenly distributed points at half-time, the Sinkiuse team led 38-25 as the boys headed to their locker rooms. Tyee, Larry, Hondo, and Phillip had three fouls apiece. Both coaches gave the same speech, We can't pick up any more fouls, play smart, don't foul, be quick but, slow the game down and use the clock, and above all, don't get caught fouling!
Throughout much of the second half both teams did slow the game down. Both teams tried to use up as much clock as possible before attempting a shot. But by the fourth quarter most players had two or three fouls and some kids had four fouls. With four minutes left before the final buzzer and trailing 55-40, Hondo got whistled for his fifth foul and the Sasquatch were playing four against five. But something strange and discernible started to happen. It was almost miraculous as if the Sasquatch were playing with a new found mission, the role of an underdog, possibly an extra rush of adrenalin. The three Smohalla guards were moving like a blur, stealing the ball, driving the length of the court, and outscoring the Bobcats. Levi, Caleb, and Cole were playing far above their previous skills. But Spirit was perceptive. He instinctively knew what was happening. So, as a show of sportsmanship that would certainly calm the Sasquatch, he pulled Chase-In-Winter off the court and had him sit next to Peoples. But the lead official blew his whistle, approached Spirit, and declared, "You can't pull a player off the floor."
"I've never heard that before, I think it's just good sportsmanship."
"Don't matter, it's the rules. If ya pull him off the court both the boys on the bench will be ineligible to enter the game, it's in the book. You can have him stand at half-court if ya wanta, but he's gotta stay on the court."
Spirit instructed Chase, Jr. to stand on the court at the mid-stripe in a respectful parade-rest position, and the game continued. Just as Spirit had presumed, at four-on-four, the game continued at a more natural pace. With one minute remaining in the contest Pierre fouled out. Spirit motioned to Larry Lillooet and the intuitive center knew what to do. Finishing the game, three-on-three and with two Bobcats standing motionless at midcourt, the final buzzer blew, 63-56.
