Rough start sinks Giants in Game 1 loss
SAN FRANCISCO -- Though the National League Championship Series is one game old, an ominous trend already has developed for the Giants.
Maybe it's more of a rut more than a trend. No Giants starting pitcher has lasted six full innings in this postseason. What once was an asset is now an albatross. The Giants no longer can assume that they'll receive a solid pitching effort, as they were reminded in Sunday night's 6-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of the NLCS. This confrontation promised an evening of sparkling baseball. It marked the first time in LCS history that the last two World Series winners collided. The teams did their best to fulfill the matchup's potential. St. Louis jumped to a 6-0 lead, but the dauntless Giants scored four runs in the fourth inning to enliven the AT&T Park throng. The Cardinals, who have become the upstarts of this postseason as the NL's second Wild Card qualifier, ultimately relied on their formidable bullpen to blank the Giants from the fifth through ninth innings and blunt San Francisco's home-field advantage in the series. The Giants must win Monday to avoid facing a gaping 2-0 deficit as they head for St. Louis. "We're not feeling bad about anything," Giants center fielder Angel Pagan said. "They played better than us, and we just have to turn the page. It's a long series, and we just have to keep the good attitude that we have right now."Referring to the 2-0 deficit that Cincinnati handed the Giants in the Division Series, Pagan added, "What happened in the last series, we're not going to go back there. We're going to come out tomorrow and play hard."
Madison Bumgarner's disappointing performance forced the Giants to scramble for almost the entire game. He absorbed his second defeat in as many outings this postseason as he yielded six runs, four coming on two-run homers, in 3 2/3 innings. The left-hander could not end the struggles of San Francisco's starters, who recorded a 5.16 ERA and allowed 25 hits in 22 2/3 innings during the Division Series against Cincinnati. "We certainly need some good starts. There's no question about it," manager Bruce Bochy said. Catcher Buster Posey maintained faith in his batterymates."I think it's a little surprising, but I don't think it's anything they can't turn around," he said.
Bumgarner hinted that fatigue might be an issue, noting that he has cut back on his between-starts routine. Asked to evaluate his stuff, he replied, "Not very good. The last few starts I haven't had a whole lot of life on the ball. At the same time, you have to find a way to make pitches. [When] my stuff might not be as sharp, I have to get it where it's supposed to go. I'm just missing over the plate a little bit." Posey acknowledged noticing some dullness in Bumgarner's deliveries."His breaking ball's not getting buried in," Posey said. "It doesn't have quite the same finish on it. I think that's the main thing."
Examples of Bumgarner's ineffectiveness abounded. Twice he yielded base hits on 0-2 pitches, to Yadier Molina in the second inning and John Jay in the fourth. Bumgarner said that he tried to retire both hitters on high fastballs."I guess they weren't up enough," he said.
Both preceded home runs by David Freese and Carlos Beltran, respectively. Bumgarner also lapsed in the second inning when he walked St. Louis pitcher Lance Lynn, an .060 hitter with 36 strikeouts in 50 at-bats during the regular season, though that didn't figure in the scoring.
Then again, the Cardinals have remained proficient against left-handers all season. They led the NL with a .276 batting average against lefties and ranked second with a .787 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) against them. Lynn no-hit the Giants for three innings before crumbling. Marco Scutaro lined a leadoff single for the Giants' first hit. Lynn retired Pablo Sandoval and Posey, which should have halted what little momentum San Francisco had amassed. Then came four consecutive hits: Hunter Pence's single, Brandon Belt's RBI single, Gregor Blanco's two-run triple and Brandon Crawford's run-scoring double. "It was the second time through [the batting order]," Lynn said. "I threw a lot of fastballs early and then they started jumping on it and got a lot of big hits in a row. Before I knew it, they had four runs. I wasn't able to make as quick an adjustment as they did." Pinch-hitter Aubrey Huff drew a walk, bringing the possible go-ahead run to the plate. Pagan smacked a grounder that second baseman Daniel Descalso smothered by diving to his right, leading to an inning-ending forceout at second base. "He made a great play. You've got to give him credit," Pagan said. "... I was just hoping it would get through." Afterward, the game belonged to the bullpens, which combined for a LCS-record 10 2/3 scoreless innings. Giants relievers no-hit St. Louis for 5 1/3 innings; St. Louis' bullpen yielded two hits over the same span. "Their bullpen's pretty tough," Pagan said. "That's why we have to score some runs against their starters so we won't have to face the nasty guys." Said Posey, "It seems like they all throw 97 [mph] or higher." As has been the case this month, the Giants' most intriguing reliever was Tim Lincecum, who contributed two innings. In three appearances this postseason, Lincecum has surrendered one run and three hits in 8 1/3 innings. Lincecum's success again prompted questions about the possibility of his starting -- in this case, Game 4 on Thursday at St. Louis. Bochy didn't rule out that option: "He's still available if we want in Game 4." Said Lincecum, "I'm not going to go out there and say that I deserve to be starting or should be starting. I'm going to go out there with the mentality of whenever they need me, I'm going to try to get my outs. That's good enough for me."Chris Haft is a reporter for MLB.com.

Nashua mayor's words called 'harsh' in wake of 'smear campaign' talk
"I find it disappointing," Pappas said, contending no one within the department is engaged in a smear campaign against the mayor or any public official. Although Pappas said he has some personal thoughts on why the mayor would make those accusations against the police department, he refused to elaborate.
Although that investigation included numerous wiretaps and ultimately determined that no crimes were committed by David Lozeau, the mayor said the closed case "came back to life" around the time she publicly criticized Nashua police unions for failing to negotiate new contracts that included health care concessions.
Lozeau believes at least one person in the police department attempted to start a "smear campaign based on an unfounded investigation to achieve political goals."
On Wednesday, Lozeau said she has not hired a personal attorney in connection with the matter. However her husband, David, previously hired attorney Rick Lehmann of Douglas, Leonard and Garvey.
"I have to count on the fact that people in our community know me. I have been a public servant for 20 years now," she said. "If I tell you something, it is the facts. I have always been straightforward."
"Any investigation that the Nashua Police Department did concerning her husband or anybody else would be done for justifiable reasons," Chief Seusing said this week. "To make any connection between disagreements between the mayor's office and the police department is absolutely false."

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today released its much anticipated proposed rule for Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). The proposed rule defines eligibility requirements of ACOs, the types of providers that may be included in an ACO, how providers can participate in this new model of care, and criteria that will be used to reward ACOs that lower growth in health care costs while meeting delineated performance standards.
Under the proposed rule, an ACO refers to a group of providers and suppliers of services that coordinate care for the patients they serve under Medicare parts A and B. According to the proposed rule, ACOs and the incentives offered to them will encourage health care providers to work together to treat an individual patient across care settings. In turn, the Medicare Shared Savings Program will reward ACOs that lower growth in health care costs and that meet delineated performance standards on quality of care incentives measures and patient centeredness criteria. According to HHS, ACOs will develop in various innovative ways, according to the unique needs of each community.
Patient and provider participation in an ACO is purely voluntary. Beneficiaries would not enroll in a specific ACO. Instead, the proposed rule calls for Medicare to take a retrospective look at the beneficiary's use of services to determine whether a particular ACO should be credited with improving care and reducing expenditures. Additionally, patients assigned to an ACO also have the option of receiving services from providers who are not ACO providers.
Providers participating in an ACO would be required to notify the beneficiary that they are participating in an ACO, and that the provider will be eligible for additional Medicare payments for improving the quality of care delivered to the beneficiary.
As a companion to the proposed rule, CMS and the Office of Inspector General have also released a notice with comment period that addresses how certain waivers will allow ACOs to provide care while not violating the physician self-referral law, anti-kickback statutes, or the civil monetary penalties law. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission has released a proposed statement of its anti-trust policy as it relates to ACOs.
Upon the release of the proposed rule, CMS Administrator Donald M. Berwick, MD, participated in a public forum in which he provided an example of a patient receiving cardiac rehabilitation services from a physical therapist within the ACO model.
APTA is carefully reviewing the proposed rule and will provide members a comprehensive analysis and summary of the rules shortly. The association also will submit its recommendations on the rules via the public comment period.

Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development, 1992-1997 [United States] (ICPSR 4551)
Principal Investigator(s): Schneider, Barbara, University of Chicago
The Alfred P. Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development was designed to gather a holistic picture of the adolescent experience. To understand how young people form ideas about their future, the study considered not only what adolescents' aspirations are, but also how they may be influenced by family, peer groups, schools, and their communities. Data were collected within adolescents' three major social environments: schools, families, and peer groups. The study gathered information from 12 sites over five years, to examining such research questions as: (1) how young people of various ages and family backgrounds differ in their conceptions of work, (2) what learning opportunities families with different economic circumstances provide for their children with respect to work and careers, and (3) how schools influence educational expectations and career formation. Data were collected from focal students using the experience sampling method (ESM), an in-depth interview, and a battery of questionnaires. The questionnaires included: (1) the Teenage Life Questionnaire, a modification of instruments used in the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS:1988-94), (2) a Friends Sociometric form, which provided detailed information about the respondents' peer groups and social ties, and (3) the Career Orientation Survey (COS), which measures respondents' knowledge about jobs and occupational expectations. Cohort students were also administered the questionnaires but did not participate in the ESM or in-depth interviews. All instruments were administered to focal students in Years 1, 3, and 5. In addition, in Year 2, in-depth interviews alone were administered to focal students. In years 1, 3, and 5, a separate group of cohort students were administered the questionnaires. Parts 1, 2, 6, 7, 11, and 12 consist of the Teenage Life Questionnaire data. Parts 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, and 14 consist of the Career Orientation Survey data. Parts 5, 10, and 15 consist of the Experience Sampling Method data. The in-depth interview component will be released by ICPSR as restricted data at a later time.

Would having a separate lifetime for development and marketing of a patented item make it more reasonable?
For instance, 10 years time during development, but once development is complete you only have 2 years time to market (or the remainder of the 10 year development period, whichever is shorter). The given time periods are only for example--I don't know what would be reasonable, as far as that is concerned.
YMMV. Most HDR-rendered pics look worse to my eyes too (and this is on a IPS screen).
We simply need displays and color depths that can show at least 32 bits and a dynamic range of infinity:1
Lol at people confusing high-dynamic range with bloom.
Things are simple: 8bpp do not offer enough range to represent the contrast between sunlit and shadowed geometry. HDR involve using more bpp (usually 16 or 32) to improve the dynamic range and a tonemapping step to reduce the extra bits to the 8bpp that monitors can display.
Of course, many games add fluff such as bloom effects that have little to do with HDR itself, which is what people seem to dislike. HDR by itself is 100% necessary for any modern-looking 3d game.
how about 24 bits?
More colors are useless because not a single consimer panel supports correct colors (like the Adobe standard). The cheapest true color panel is sold by Dell for 800 euro's and is LCD...
Now software patents; they are not useless because hardware must be involved. We live in an age where embedded systems are everywhere and large part of the magic happens in software. However being able to patent obvious shit like floating point on a piece of PC hardware is far from an invention that gets us anywhere near a better product offering that we wouldn't have got without the patent, anyway...

This was NOT because I had stuffed a lot of receipts in the file envelope either. It looked like it was just shoddy construction in that the glue didn't hold it on."

Is the "zone blitz" passe?
Dec 09, 2007 at 20:12 »
I wonder if teams have now found a critical weakness in "zone blitz" scemes. The sceme seems to be every "dink-and-dunk" and/or "West Coast Offense" QB's wet dream. Sure, it normally prevents the big play, but with DBs playing so damn far off the line of scrimmage, they can be eaten alive by the short passing game. Teams may not score quickly against them, but they certainly can move down the field methodically. Move the chains about six or seven times, and the next thing you know, you're in the end zone.
On that note, I wonder if today's game will ultimately make Mike Tomlin convert the defense to a "Cover 2."
Q: What's the difference between "hard" and "light"?

I think not -- whatever schemes we've been running this year have worked pretty well. I think it's true that our scheme doesn't work against the Patriots, as they score plenty of points on us each time we play. But I'd say in general the scheme works:
> Our pass defense numbers this year are staggeringly good
> We really haven't been dinked and dunked on, successfully, by many teams in the last couple-three years -- certainly not like we were in 2002 and 2003 when teams threw 50 straight passes on us in successive weeks. The Seahawks run a West Coast offense and we shut them out.
> We just played one of the best offenses ever without either of our starting safeties.
So.....I don't know. Not saying what you're asking isn't possibly so. Maybe we need a better scheme just for Tom Brady.
One thing I find distressing about our defense this year is how few interceptions we've had. What's up with that?

Well I'm worried that Tom Brady will slay us for the entirety of his career unless the scheme changes. He knows how to counter EVERYTHING we throw at him.

No doubt.
We have no solution for that guy. He throws it deep on us when he wants. He dinks on us when he wants. He converts any fourth down on us. He murders us in the red zone.
And you definitely have a point that it's the Tampa-2 teams like the Colts that seem to have had the most success against him. It does seem like the Pats have our pass rush solved, completely. Although even they got torched in the AFCC last year, and in the last ten minutes of the game this year. I don't think anyone has them solved. Philly played a nice game on them, and the Ravens are just talented on D. So if anything, it's maybe the Philly scheme we could borrow from.
But heck, if I had the answer I'd be a wealthy man!

"Zone Blitz Schemes"...what zone blitz schemes? I can honestly think of about 9 zone blitz plays that were called. I watched our entire defense rush 3 to 4 guys all fucking game long. Brady had more time to pass than I would've liked, that's for sure. Yeah, our safeties bit hard on a few plays...but all in all, it was the lack of pressure/Brady having time to throw that fucked our defense. Staying in a 3-4 D against a 5 wide attack isn't the smartest idea if you don't intend to "bring pressure", and not just 4. Our D lacked the instinct to rattle Brady, thus leading to a complete beat-down through the air. On one full drive, Wes Welker ALONE caught every fucking pass leading to every fucking yard down into the red zone. He didn't catch one ball all game...it goes to show how ineffective our passing game is against a 4/5 wide set passing attack if we stay in a solid 3-4 without overloading the O-line.
Drop back and let Brady pick you apart...I fucking love that hard nosed front 7 D that we forget to use. Dropping back in zone against a 4/5 wide set...hilarious, and no pressure!!

The Steelers just don't have the dominant pass rush from their DL to get consistent pressure on Brady while dropping 6 or 7 into coverage. The Ravoons were able to pressure Brady with 4 or 5 guys and drop everyone else. If the Steelers could do the same, they would have a better chance. I think a D like the Giants could give Brady problems. Two dominant pass rush DE's who don't need a blitz to get pressure. We saw how inaccurate Brady can be when he gets hurried in the 1st half today. If you can hurry him while dropping into coverage, you might have a chance. I don't know if the zone blitz will work against the Pats. It seems like a team like the Steelers just needs to score 40 points to win.

Agree on the requirement of a better offense. Although Brady put up the big yardage in H2, it still remains that the PSD gave up 17 points in each half. The offense did not close the deal on any drive after the first TD, which won't get it done.
I don't think yunz are calling for abandonment of the zone blitz, per se. All teams have elements of that in their defense, and a lot of the zone blitz concepts come out of the package schemes, not the 34 base. Every team has zone blitzes and Cover 2 schemes in the playbook. Further, a Tampa 2 (favored by Dungy and Tomlin) is a specialized version of Cover 2.
What the 34 Okie base of the past and present Steelers does do, though, is require D-line personnel that are not going to get to the QB early or often. If teams can pick up the extra rusher (or recognize the 3 man rush), it's a problem for the Steelers. It's not easy to do, but for an elite passing attack, it's possible to beat the LeBeau fronts when they don't have a young Joey Porter or Greg Lloyd creating havoc.
Problem with converting to a Cover 2 or Tampa 2 is that without pressure from the D-line, that defense can be had. Exhibit A would be the Bears this year. Second problem is that a Tampa 2 requires a lot of fast LB's who can cover TE, at least within a zone. Remember, there's only three of 'em in the "conventional" front. The Steelers only have that in part.
Part of LeBeau's challenge each year is to determine how to morph his base and package defenses with the personnel available. With Clark and Maul out, it gets to be a problem. One thing that the Steelers cannot do defensively is get beat over the top, and the FS has to be a sure tackler. Although he didn't get a lot of picks, Chris Hope was the bright, steady FS needed in the LeBeau defense. Ryan Clark is a poor man's version, but still OK, and Anthony Smith's lack of disciplined play is a minus in the LeBeau system.
Back to the question of whether the Steelers' defense is passe? I don't think so, but I'm not sold on whether the front seven has enough collective talent to make it go at full throttle. The D-line is good, but not of the four LB's have real speed, and all are hitting 30+. The failure of Woodley and Timmons to make an immediate impact isn't helping, at least to date.

Is the "zone blitz" passe?

Exactly...Smith has been a liability in coverage since day 1. There was a reason why Clark was the starter. The Cover 3 schemes, with Troy doing his thing, requires great discipline from the deep safety to stay deep and not allow the big over the top play. Smith sometimes has the big hit, but other times hit's a receiver late in the EZ which could have easily been flagged. He's young and he does have talent, so I hope he learns to operate within the system and STFU. Hideously ironic that he was telling Brady when they were jawing after the 1st Moss TD to "throw it my way bitch", and then the very next Pats offensive play was the PA fake over the top to Moss. Ouch...

I must've missed all of those plays where Pittsburgh dropped 8 in "coverage" because I saw a lot of five guy pressure. Who and from what direction those five were varied (mostly Harrison and Foote with the down guys), but it was usually five and sometimes six with the corners playing soft and safeties giving support over the top. I dunno, but that sounds an awful lot like a zone blitz scheme to me.
The problem was they just couldn't get there fast enough because Brady was getting rid of it quickly. Notice that with the exception of the flea flicker and one bomb with the blown coverage, Brady had very little success with the intermediate range routes. On those plays, he was usually rushing his throw because pressure was coming or a lineman was being pushed into his face.
Everything, and I mean
they were having success with was less than 10 yards. And, if the play went for 12 or 16, it's because of YAC.
Again, I'm no expert or coach, but to me, when an offense is doing that, I think it renders the blitzing part of that zone blitzing moot. IMO, I don't have a problem with the scheme, I just didn't like the defense that they ran from it. An example that I'm thinking of was during that long 3rd quarter New England drive, Pittsburgh repeatedly had 2 guys with their hands down and several others sort of dancing around the LOS. Instead of doing something crazy like show 6 coming and dropping 3 of them, they'd show 6 and drop 1 with the usual suspects going forward (guys like Keisel and Foote, mostly Harrison) and the others going back.
Where was the safety or corner blitz? Where was the unpredictability?

The Steelers had the #1 D versus the pass until they ran into Randy Moss and Tom Brady. Zone blitz has had plenty to do with that.
Passe? No. Whatever is french for "still pretty damn good and had a bad day" Oui Oui.
Steelers 58-15 when I am in attendance.

I do remember one saftey blitz (or it might have been 'Shea), he came clean up the gut but the Patties ran the ball.

Did Dick LeBeau become senile the moment he turned 70?
This is the SECOND game this season in which the offense tied the fucker up, only for the defense to spread 'em wide like WHORES!
Q: What's the difference between "hard" and "light"?
A: You can sleep with a light on.

Times for Town Halls/Online Events
Are the the times listed for the Performance Evaluation Town Halls/Online Events Eastern Time? My email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Times for Town Halls/Online Events are Eastern Time
This is John Buzzard (Human Resources) responding. To address the question/comment posted previously re: events, please note times listed on this site are Eastern Time. We have updated the events page to indicate this, so thank you for calling this to our attention.
Are employees suppose to be involved in the writing/editing/updating and/or creating of JAQ?
Shari - Thanks for your question. This is Bill Verble responding. The process for updating and editing JAQs is managed by the supervisor and the department's business officer or HR administrator. Many supervisors do involve employees in writing the updated information to ensure that it accurately reflects the job. However, it is up to the supervisor to determine when and how employees will be involved in updating the JAQ information.Compensation will then work directly with the HR administrator, business officer, or supervisor to complete the update/reclassification process.
responses to questions - who's responding?
Hi folks, this is Bill Verble, HR's PE consultant. In our new commenting system, the system moderators are only identified by the LinkBlue userid. We're working to get that fixed. In the meantime, we want to let you know who is responding to your questions from HR. "jhbuzz2" is John Buzzard, our communications officer;"dlva222" is Donna Vanover, our Training & Development coordinator and "wdverb00" is me, Bill Verble. We hope to get this fixed soon so you know more easily who is responding to your questions. Thanks for your patience!
Taping of Town Halls/Online Events
Are any of the Town Halls or Online Events being videotaped and made available to folks that are unable to attend one of the Town Halls or Online Events?
Tapong of Town Halls/Online Events
Hi Ricard, this is Bill Verble. We've just posted the link to the recording of Wednesday's virtual town hall. We will also record the next virtual town hall on Tuesday the 13th. Look under Events & Training and you'll find a link next to the date of the town hall. Thanks for your question!
JAQ dates and signatures
At present the JAQ does not provide detail associated with the date created or edited, by whom and the employee date of sign off with signature lines. These are Joint Commission and College of American Pathologist requirements. This was not essential when we created a "working job description" in our environment but now the JAQ is gospel. Are there any plans to update the document?
Supervisors using MyUK
I see where supervisors are encouraged to view their direct reports in MyUK. At what time are supervisors to start entering the direct-reports' MJRs, competencies, etc. for 2013 review?
Supervisors Using MyUK
Hi Christine, this is Bill Verble responding to your question. Supervisors will not need to enter MJRs and Essential Functions - those will be imported into the PE from the Online Employment System (OES). When the system is available, supervisors and employees will only need to enter the job standards. Thanks for your question!
Employee training; off campus folks
How best to orient and train staff working off campus, to the new PE system? Is the video-clip link on the PE page enough or, is there something in-depth for those who cannot travel to Lexington in October?
Employee Training: Off Campus Folks
Hi Christine, Bill Verble responding. We are happy to work with departments that have off-campus employees to ensure they get training and information about the new PE system. If you have off-campus staff that need training, please call or email me directly to make arrangements.
Accessing my PE pages
Yesterday I attended HR's Performance Evaluation Virtual Town Hall. I've been trying to access my PE since then and can't get in. I've turned off my pop-up blocker as suggested, but when I try to open the Performance Goals & Evaluations page it quickly closes. Didn't you say that we could go ahead an look at our MJR's?
Accessing My PE Pages
Hi Gwen, Bill Verble responding. It sounds like an issue with the settings for your browser. If you are using Internet Explorer, we suggest putting the link for the PE site (performancemanager4.successfactors.com) in the Trusted Sites area. Trusted Sites is found under the Tools dropdown in Internet Options if you are using Internet Explorer 8. If you are still having problems accessing the system, contact the SAP support team at email@example.com for further assistance. Thanks for your question.
Training location
I have noticed that all staff training in October is taking place in McVey Hall. Is it possible to have some of the staff training held in either hospital or the Wethington building for UKHC staff in order to minimize time away from our work site?
Training Location
Thanks for your question, Karen. We scheduling workshops in the coming months throughout locations around campus and UKHC. Please continue to check our website as training dates and locations are added. If there's a specific location you want to have training, please contact me directly and we'll try to get sessions scheduled there.
Log in question
Hi! I cannot log in to my "Performance Goals and Evaluations." I use UKY for Company ID and enter my linkblue id and password. A screen then tells me to re-enter them (invalid name and password). Is entry contingent upon completing the classroom training, or should I be able to access now? If I should be able to view my information, who do I contact - my dept. IT or someone else?
Log In Question
Hi Christine, The first time you log in to the system, you will enter your linkblue id as BOTH the username and the password. For example, if your userid is jdoe00, you would enter jdoe00 as the username and jdoe00 as the password. (Also enter UKY as the company ID.) You will then see a pop-up window prompting you to change the password. It will be a separate password from your myUK password, though you can change it to your myUK password. You can also got to this link for steps on accessing the system: http://www.uky.edu/pe/pe-system-login-and-position-review-instructions-supervisors
If you are still unable to log in, contact email the firstname.lastname@example.com inbox for further assistance.

MJRs duplicated
Everyone I have talked to (in APAT/UKIT) has had the MJRs appear twice in their goals for a total weight of 200%
MJRs Duplicated
Hi Wayne, this problem was fixed with a number of people. Check with Sharon Welch (firstname.lastname@example.com) in Compensation to see if this has been fixed in the online JAQ for your position. If it has, then it should be fixed in the PE system with the next update.
PE System
I am unable to login using my UK user ID and password
First time log in
Hi Sharon,
You will enter your id as BOTH the username and the password. For example, if your userid is jdoe00, you would enter jdoe00 as the username and jdoe00 as the password. (Also enter UKY as the company ID.) You will then see a pop-up window prompting you to change the password. It will be a separate password from your myUK password, though you can change it to your myUK password.
Company ID: UKY
Username: jdoe00
Password: jdoe00
This should get you in to the system. Thanks!
PE training
In MyUK Training I noticed there are Virtual Classroom Training sessions for "Getting Started Online PE System" and "Online PE System: Faculty/Supervisors" courses. However, there does not seem to be a link to watch/book the course. Are these courses only available in the classroom setting? If so, why is Virtual Classroom Training listed?
PE Training - Virtual Classroom
Hi Amy, our apologies for the confusion. There have been some virtual classes previously offered. We are continuing to add classes to the calendar, including a Getting Started virtual and an Online PE System: Faculty/Supervisors virtual for some time in December. Please check back on our Events and Training page for new classes.
Changing your name in Personal Information on myUK
I have an employee that needs to change his last name in his personal information area, due to being misspelled. The system will not allow an individual to edit their name like they are able to edit other areas(addresses, phone, etc.) Can you tell me how this name edit can be accomplished?
Changing Your Name in MyUK
Thanks for your question. The employee needs to see the department business officer or time administrator. Either of these unit personnel will have the access to change the spelling of the name. Names should be the same as the name certified to on the I-9 paperwork created during the new hire process.
Access to Performance Goals and Evaluations
I am unable to access this link. Several in my office are also having a problem. The page appears and and then disappears. Is this a browser issue?
disappearing page
Hi Linda, This is usually due to browser settings.Check the instructions on this page - http://www.uky.edu/pe/login-window-pops-and-disappears-what-do. This should fix the problem.
No information listed in my profile
I received an e-mail from Kim Wilson saying I needed to update my information. I logged into my performance management tab and updated my password. It says I'm all caught up under the "to do" tile. However, there is no information (goal plans, PE, JAQ, etc.) for me to review and/or update. Do I need to contact my supervisor or our department's personnel manager?
No Information Listed
Hi Dustin, make sure you are in the correct place to view your MJR information. Your MJRs, Essential Functions, and Weights will appear in the University Goal Plan (for Campus employees) or the UK Healthcare Staff Goal Plan (for HealthCare employees).
See Step 7 in the Login Instructions for the Switch Plans area to get to your goal plan. If your MJRs are incorrect, contact your department HR manager to have them updated in the JAQ.
Thanks for your question!
Navigating the new PE site
This is nearly impossible to nagivate. The screen will not scroll down to show all the Essential Functions required for my job. It's also difficult to go from screen to screen. It is not a good system and needs to be reworked before the official roll-out. If this is already going to be used then a detailed map and instructions are needed.
Navigating the New PE Site
Hi John - Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the PE site. The problem with the scroll bar not appearing occurs with certain browser settings in Internet Explorer. Below are the specific steps to correct the problem in Explorer. Also, you are welcome to attend one of the workshops listed in our Events and Training page to learn more about the system.
- Access Internet Explorer
- Select Tools / Internet Options
- Select the Settings button in the Tabs section (see photo – highlighted step)
- On the Tabbed Browsing Settings screen - Select Always open pop-ups in a new tab (see photo – highlighted step)
- Click OK
- Click OK again on the Internet Options page
- Access PE site again – it should work this time.

It looks like the photos didn't post. I'll email you the steps with the photos.
OES in line with SuccessFactors
my position MRJ's do not match what shows approved in OES. So as the budget officer how can I verify that what my staff see in SuccessFactors is the same information that I entered and is approved in OES.
OES in line with SuccessFactors
Hi Julie - If your MJRs were recently updated in OES then they will be updated in the PE system. The next import from OES will occur early next week, so please check then to make sure the updates imported correctly. If you have updated JAQs for your department and those updates have been approved by Compensation then you have met the November 27th deadline. The updates will show up in the online PE system.

I am a new hire (as of 10/28) and cannot log into the system to update my information. I have attempted to find a "new user" link, but cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Cannot log in
Hi Liz - Sorry for the delay responding to your question. You should already have a profile in the system. Be sure to use your LinkBlue user ID as both the username AND the password in the SuccessFactors login screen. Please contact me directly at email@example.com if you are still unable to log in to the system. Thanks!
This is kind of ridiculous
Why was this rolled out the week before a holiday? And then you only gave us until the day *right before* a major holiday to fix any issues? My entire JAQ was entered incorrectly. Now my boss and I are both scrambling to get this corrected before holiday vacations when we already have other work deadlines we're dealing with.
Also, what is with this public forum for questions and webpage that looks nothing like any other UK standard? And of course we have yet another password to remember for this 3rd party site for PEs.
I am disappointed, HR.
re: response to your comments
Good morning, this is Bill Verble responding. We're sorry for any frustration you're experiencing. Let me offer resources to assist with addressing any questions you may have and explain how the rollout of the PE system has unfolded.
If you need any guidance on updating your JAQ, please consult the instructions at this link: http://www.uky.edu/pe/new-update-new-online-pe-information-extended-november-27. Sharon Welch or Katie McRoberts in Compensation can also provide guidance on updating your JAQ. We understand the confusion about what was entered. The online JAQ contains the most recent JAQ information on file in Compensation. Often times, departments may have a more updated position description that has not been forwarded to Compensation for the JAQ. This is why we are asking supervisors and employees to check their MJRs in the PE system – so the JAQ and the PE can be as up-to-date as possible.
The roll out for the PE system has been going on for several months. Town Hall events to explain changes to the PE were first held in August. In September, supervisors were sent an email and asked to access the system to check information on their employees and initiate JAQ updates. College and department business officers have also received several communications about updating JAQs for their units. Many employees have attended training on the new system the past couple of months. We understand, though, that some have only learned about the changes and new system recently.
We understand the concern about having another password to remember and hope to be able to address this in the future. We are continuing to work with SuccessFactors so users will only need to log in to the myUK portal.
The PE website is the first HR site to adopt the new look and format we have developed over the past few months. Other HR sites will be transitioning to a similar format in the next week. The comment section is one of many avenues we have to address questions and concerns with the new PE. If you have other concerns you would like to address, please feel free to contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 257-5066.
Thanks for sharing your concerns.
campus core competencies
should we have the campus core competencies anywhere on our PE website tiles. I can't find it. do we need to write a self evaluation on ourselves for that even if we are not being judged on it this year?
re: campus core competencies
Hi Ed - Thanks for your question. The core competencies do not show up in the Goal Plan you see now. They will appear in the Performance Evaluation when it is released to you in mid-December. That is when you can do your self-evaluation. You do not have to sef-evaluate on the core competencies this time around.
This is a huge pain. Who
This is a huge pain. Who thought it was a good idea to give people less than two weeks before a holiday to update JAQs? We don't have time for this. Too many deadlines.
re: response to your comments
This is Bill Verble responding. We understand your frustration. It is important to update JAQs at this time so that MJRs in your online performance evaluation are accurate when it is released in mid-December. We have been communicating with departments, business officers, and supervisors about the need to update JAQs for several months. The message to employees with the November 27 deadline was the final push in that effort. Many departments have been working with their employees to update JAQs. If you need any guidance on updating your JAQ, please consult the instructions at this link: http://www.uky.edu/pe/new-update-new-online-pe-information-extended-november-27. Sharon Welch or Katie McRoberts in Compensation can also provide guidance on updating your JAQ.
Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com or at 257-5066 if you have other specific concerns.
Great job!
I see an awful lot of complaints, but I really like the new system! I can see my team and all of their job descriptions (some need to be fixed). I wish we didn't have to log in twice, but really, it's not a big deal. I love being able to see the org chart and see where I fit into the "big picture". Nice job, whoever did it. :-)
No need to login twice
You do not need to login to myuk to login to the PE system -- just bookmark the successfactor login url...
Thank you for your comments
Hi Missy - Thank you for your comments. We hope this new PE system will be a positive and useful tool for employees, supervisors, and departments. A lot of people have contributed to the new PE and the online system. We know there will be bumps along the way and will continue to address problems and issues that arise. The ongoing feedback from you and other employees is much appreciated!
additional dates for online trainings
Will the online/virtual training for the new online performance evaluations be offered another date besides Dec. 3? I, and most of our KCP staff, live outside Fayette County. Thank you.
re: Additional Dates for Online Training
Hi Gloria -
Bill Verble responding. We will be scheduling more virtual sessions in January and should have that schedule out within the next couple of weeks. You may also want to look into the Resources page on the PE website (http://www.uky.edu/pe/resources-training-materials) where we have recordings of previous virtual sessions, short videos on navigating and getting started in the system, and step-by-step guides that you can download.
Thanks for your question!
first time logon not working
First time logon fails, entering blueid as illustrated in the PE login document, all I get is form reset and no error message. I am entering blueid username and password as stated in 1st time doc. Help appreciated.
re: First Time Logon Not Working
Hi Woody,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. When logging in to the PE site the first time, be sure you are using your linkblue ID as BOTH the username and password. For example, if your userid is jdoe00, you would enter jdoe00 as the username and jdoe00 as the password. After you log in, a screen will appear prompting you to change the password. This is described in steps 5 and 6 in the login instructions at this link: http://www.uky.edu/pe/login-and-information-review-instructions-employees.
If you are still experiencing problems, please contact me directly at email@example.com. Thanks, Bill Verble
Performance Evaluation Classes
Can't find any performance evaluation class openings for staff, are they all booked??
re: Performance Evaluation Classes
Steve - More classes are now available in January. Our Events and Training page has been updated to show the classes scheduled. Let us know if you are unable to find the class you need. Thanks for your question!
lawyer button and spell check
why did you take out the lawyer button and spell check from the self evaluation. Most word programs automatically capitalize i as I but your's did not. The comment section stayed one sentence after i pasted a paragraph in it, so my PI will have to scroll through one sentence at a time to read.
re: Lawyer Button and Spell Check
Hi Ed,
Thanks for pointing out that the Legal Scan and Spell Check are not appearing. Those functions should be there, so we are working to get them restored. We are also looking into why the comment box is not expanding. However, when the form is sent to your PI all the comments will display, so he or she won't need to scroll through to read them. Let us know if you encounter any other issues.
legal scan and spell check
The next day when i sent the self evaluation to my boss, he said those 2 functions were there for him. So either you fixed it or, they were there only for supervisors.
re: Legal Scan and Spell Check
Hi Ed - We were able to get it corrected yesterday and have verified that it is showing up on the self-evaluation step. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
how to sign up for workshops
I see the listing for staff training sessions. I would like ot sign up for 1/14/14. from 8:30a-10am. This shows on your list but I don't see how to sign up. Please respond and let me know. Thanks! email@example.com

7. Click the 'Book this course' button.
8. Answer 'OK' to 'Do you want to book this course?'.
9. Look at the top of the screen to see that you have successfully booked for the course. You will also receive a confirmation email.
Hope this helps! Thank you, Anne
No MJR's listed
I have no MJR's listed on my employee PE. It will not allow me to send to my supervisor. What should I do/who should I contact. Thanks.
No MJRs listed
Hi Chad,
Please contact me, Bill Verble, at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can look into the matter. Send your name and position in an email and we'll investigate further.
Forgot Password
When I click forget password the security question does not come up for me to answer it says contact system administrator. I tried to leave feedback but got and error when sumbitting that. How do I get my password?
Hi! This is Donna Vanover. You can send an email to the firstname.lastname@example.com and they can reset your password. Be sure to include your myUK login in the email.
Self Eval editing
Good Morning! tgiF. I'm addressing a question on Self-Eval editing. Once the employee sends the Self-Eval to manager, the employee may not access the Self-Eval for editing or update; is this correct? This is the case for one employee in my department; he called me and we walked through the Home page, etc. to see if he can edit the SE. At this point, is the manager, who has received the employee's SE, able to send that SE back to employee so s\he can complete some information as requested?
Self Eval Editing
Christine - You are correct - once the employee sends the self evaluation on to the manager, the employee no longer has access to edit their self evaluation. The manager is not able to send the review back to the employee. If the employee does need the form again, the manager can request it be sent back to the self eval stage by contacting email@example.com. Please keep in mind, if the manager/supervisor has entered any comments / ratings into the PE, then they will be visible to the employee. Donna Vanover 2/3/14
Mac & Chrome browsers
It appears that the "Performance Goals and Evaluations" link will not load in the chrome browser on the mac. It will work in firefox though. I've checked all of the browser settings and there shouldn't be anything preventing it from working. I just wanted to give a heads up.
Browsers for PE Completion
Jeana - Thanks for your note. We are recommending that only Internet Explorer and Firefox be used for accessing the new online PE system. There are known issues with both Chrome and Safari. Donna Vanover 2/4/14
I have internet explorer and it is still not loading the link...what level of internet explorer do you need?

There's a lot of FUD around here from some posters (we know who they are) regarding the open source driver. It's nice that you separated R500 class chip/driver with benchmarks and showed how they are competitive with fglrx.(any work that may still need to be done on the driver in various areas notwithstanding)
I hope in the future you will do this the same way regarding the other classes of AMD chips as well. With the progression that has taken place in the OSS drivers, it's time that the wailing and teeth gnashing started cooling down; and the OSS/AMD/driver devs didn't constantly have to run around these forums and defend themselves so much anymore.

Desperate to mend the ailing economy, town officials plan to add recreational amenities to Reservoir Hill in Pagosa Springs, but opponents say it will create an "amusement park" environment unsuitable to the open space.
The proposal calls for a chairlift, alpine coaster, observation tower, tree-top zip-line tour, amphitheater, hot-air balloon ride, water-splash park and enhanced trail system for hiking and biking.
The recreational amenities will promote tourism and, hopefully, keep visitors in town an extra day, said David Mitchem, town manager.
"It's all about growing tourism in the community," he said, "It's all about helping downtown businesses."
Opponents said town officials are commercializing a public park that is enjoyed as a wilderness retreat by locals. The plan is riddled with flaws, and most community members don't support it, said Pagosa Springs resident Norm Vance.
"There's just a general dislike for the idea of turning our town park into a commercial and private entity," he said. "It kind of destroys the ambiance of a nice, peaceful park to have mechanized and motorized amusement rides."
Reservoir Hill is a thickly vegetated hill that sits on the eastern side of downtown Pagosa Springs. The city owns 110 acres that is currently used for hiking, biking, picnics and disc golf. Two music festivals are held there each year, including the Four Corners Folk Festival, which ended Sunday.
The proposed development would cover about 10 acres, Mitchem said. About 40 percent of the pine trees that cover the hill will be thinned, mostly to prevent wildfires and bark beetle infestation, he said.
The Town Council voted 5-2 on Aug. 23 in favor of the plan and directed town staff members to begin looking for ways to fund the estimated $4.3 million project.
Funding options include going for a bond or forming public-private partnerships with companies that would operate amenities, such as the alpine coaster or the zip line.
Construction could begin as early as next summer if funding comes together, Mitchem said.
"It remains to be seen how quickly we're going to pay it off," he said. "We've got to do some more research before we figure that out."
The town received a free chairlift in December 2010 from a ski area near Walsenburg. The two-seater has about 64 chairs and is 1,200 feet long. It sits in pieces in an overgrown field behind a fence at the town's wastewater treatment plant.
The town paid about $40,000 to have it dismantled and delivered to Pagosa Springs. It plans to spend another $500,000 to install the lift and make modifications, which include a new motor and braking system.
A new lift would have cost $1.5 million to $2 million, Mitchem said.
Critics say town officials are hellbent about installing the lift and finding ways to pay for it, which is why they are proposing "amusement park" type amenities.
Pagosa Springs resident Ken Levine said the chairlift is too short and needs numerous alterations before it can be licensed for use.
A swath of trees will need to be cut to make room for the lift. He worries the town will need to install more recreational amenities to pay for the lift and make it economically viable.
"They're really ramming something down our throats here," Levine said. "I don't think it's right."
Vance said the alpine coaster will be one of the shortest in the world. Locals will ride it once and be done with it, he said.
In addition, a fence will need to be installed on both sides of the coaster that will cut off existing trails.
The local newspaper, The Pagosa Sun, has editorialized against the project, saying it is ill-conceived, is unlikely to produce much revenue and is a misuse of public land.
"We do not believe amusement park amenities serve long-term, healthy and quality growth downtown," reads an editorial published Aug. 23. "Such amenities will not draw additional tourists here, nor will they keep tourists downtown."
Mitchem said opponents have loud voices, but they are in the minority. He points to two petitions for and against the plan. The one in favor of the development has 730 signatures, he said, and the one against the plan has 104 signatures.
Town residents question the validity of the petitions. One man signed his dog's name, Winslow, to the petition, according to the PagosaDailyPost.com, an online community magazine. Others individuals signed on behalf of their whole family, including children.
An online poll last week on the Sun's website – with 203 votes as of Friday – showed 85 percent opposed to the plan and 7 percent supported it. Eight percent supported portions of the plan.
Vance said town officials are desperate to boost the economy, and they're ready to try anything to do it. The town has more than 30 empty store fronts, he said.
"It's not pretty over here from a business standpoint," Vance said. "They're just desperate to find something."
The privately owned Springs Resort & Spa, with 23 mineral hot-spring pools along the San Juan River, has about 175,000 visits each year.
The town also has created fishing habitat and whitewater features in the San Juan River.
Town officials insist the amenities planned for Reservoir Hill are good for boosting tax revenues.
Many tourists come from lower elevations and are unable do hikes or mountain bike rides at higher elevations, said Bob Hart, chairman of the town's tourism committee.
Tourists have expressed a desire for more activities in Pagosa Springs, and the proposed amenities on Reservoir Hill would be fun for the whole family, Hart said.
Mitchem said the town is trying to grow the community in a way that is friendly to both residents and tourists.
"Anytime you do something big and different, you encounter opposition," he said.
"All this development will be right adjacent to downtown, and it should assist in growing business downtown, both retail and restaurants. I think it will also assist the lodgers."

I don't think that sort of stuff 'happens everywhere'
I'm not saying europe is sunshine and rainbows but I doubt you will find soldiers crushing people to death with bulldozers.
Who do you think gives IDF the money to buy weapons/bulldozers etc? it's the taxes, by buying israelli products you are indirectly giving money to the israelii govt.
And btw would they simply expel the palestinians and close their borders, I wouldn't say a thing, it's this sick state of affairs where they bulldoze people and try to shadily acquire land while playing the victims is what irks most europeans.
Passive cooling, especially of an i7, is bad news if you live around here, southern europe.
"you could just put a fan in front of it and problem solved. " or you could simply design a system with liquid cooling or any kind of cooling that doesn't require air vents etc

Double D Records/ New Nation Entertainment featured recording artist Unkle Sam was born Samuel Andrew Boyd on December 20, 1986. When he was seven weeks old, his family relocated to Murray, KY. That is where he stayed until the age of twelve when they moved to Buchanan, TN to be closer to his grandfather, the legendary country music artist, Jack Smith. Unkle Sam moved to Louisville, KY from 2004-2006 to pursue musical interests in a larger city. In Louisville is where Sam was discovered, branded "Unkle Sam", and developed his southern rap style. He made a name for himself in the Louisville music scene by performing with musical acts such as The Villebillies, KD, Nappy Roots, Juvenile, Goodfella, and the late Stephen "Static/Major" Garrett. After getting comfortable in the music industry, Unkle Sam moved back to Buchanan, TN until the untimely passing of his grandfather in August 2007. In September 2007, he moved back to Murray, KY to promote his new material and help get the Murray music scene on a roll. In March 2008, he hooked up with DJ Jay-Nice and his Bloodhound Entertainment label for a collaboration on the hit song "ROCKSTAR", which is featured on the newly released "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" mixtape available now. In April of '08, Sam hooked up with Theo Mackey, a.k.a. Fate Til Death, who was starting his new entertainment group, "New Nation". Unkle Sam jumped on board and is expecting to put out an album soon under Fate's "New Nation Entertainment Group" as well as his own, "Double D Records".
unkle sam is the gratest rapper alive!

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

SOAP, originally defined as Simple Object Access Protocol, is a protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of Web Services in computer networks. It relies on Extensible Markup Language (XML) for its message format, and usually relies on other Application Layer protocols, most notably Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), for message negotiation and transmission. SOAP can form the foundation layer of a web services protocol stack, providing a basic messaging framework upon which web services can be built. This XML based protocol consists of three parts: an envelope, which defines what is in the message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing procedure calls and responses.
