This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Advice for Dancers
Hamilton, Linda, Dance Magazine
I'm coming back from an injury, and everyone is mad at me, from my ballet master to the other dancers, because I can't perform my old roles yet. I understand that they're tired and resent filling in for me, but my body just isn't ready. One day my knee feels fine and I can do every step in company class. The next day it's sore and I have to back off it. My doctor says that minor setbacks are normal after surgery. Why doesn't the company understand that?
Off-Stage Blues
Pittsburgh, PA
If you're dancing full out in class one day, it's easy for others to assume that you're ready to perform, unless you keep everyone in the loop about your injury status. At New York City Ballet, injured dancers have the option of asking the physical therapist or orthopedist to complete an Injury Reentry Form for the artistic staff:. This reduces misunderstandings by stating what the dancer can do, which helps the artistic staff to handle the casting. Over time, the form is updated. Needless to say, it also takes pressure off the dancer to constantly explain why she isn't ready to perform. Schools or companies that want to use this form can find it in our new book, The Dancer's Way: The New York City Ballet Guide to Mind, Body, and Nutrition (St. Martin's Griffin, $16.95).
hate my teacher! She makes fun of us if we ask questions and refuses to explain why we're doing something wrong. Our whole class is counting the days until the semester is over. Is there something we did to make her behave this way?
San Francisco, CA
Sometimes a student misbehaves in class and a teacher gets fed up. The red flag, in this case, is that aft the students are feeling mistreated. It suggests that the tension is coming from the teacher's issues, not yours. While asking questions in class can be disruptive, usually it's a plus to want more information to improve. Most teachers will acknowledge a question's merit and deal with it then or after class. Refusing to explain a correction or resorting to ridicule could be a sign of stress. Your teacher may be overworked, for instance. My advice is to meet as a group with the director of your school to explain your concerns.
I know it's silly, but I'm jealous. My director has his favorites whom he uses all the time. I'm a ballerina who gets nice roles but not a lot of attention from my boss. Should I mind? From the outside looking in, my life must seem great. The downer is that I'm rarely in the first cast, let alone the one he chooses when he choreographs a new piece. …

Abu Dhabi International Book Fair 2010: Abu Dhabi Marked the 20th Anniversary of Its International Book Fair with the Biggest and Best Exhibition Yet. Pat Lancaster Reports from the UAE
Established in 1981 by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the now annual Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF) goes from strength to strength, having developed from a small event dealing mainly with publishers from Egypt and Lebanon to a fully fledged international spectacular and the major gateway to Middle East and North African publishing markets.
Most participants agree that the real advent of development and change took place in 2007, when KITAB, a joint venture between the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) and the Frankfurt Book Fair took over organisation of the event with the aim of promoting it as a vehicle for developing the publishing industry in the Arab world.
The blossoming of ADIBF has since become an important date on the calendar of book trade professionals across the globe. A further step in the right direction was taken with the appointment of Monika Krauss to the position of General Manager of KITAB, "When I got here last year I found good foundations and a good team in place. The next step is to have it grow," she told The Middle East.
Publishing in the region is not without its problems, as Krauss pointed out. "Our aim is to professionalise publishing in the Arab world. There are a number of issues we are trying to address. For example, there is a need for a structured distribution system, there are not enough bookshops, the ISBN numbers are not properly in use yet, and there are censorship issues. But we help get people on track. The public need and want access to more books. There is a belief that Arabs don't read but look out there," she said with a nod of her head towards a crowd of people jostling each other in the aisles to look at the hundreds of publications on show, "I think that proves that they do," she observed with a smile.
Popular choices
The Abu Dhabi Fair is growing in popularity and reputation year on year: the 20th session packed a multitude of activities, lectures and discussions into six days, attracting more than 236,000 publishing professionals and members of the public, achieving a highly successful balance of activities that included discussions, exhibitions, a special children's day, even cooking displays.
Some 840 exhibitors from around the world participated in ADIBF this year, a 32% increase on the number attending in 2009, making it the largest fair in the Middle East region and among the major international events, having overtaken the numbers attracted to similar events in Tehran, Moscow and Seoul.
The importance of ADIBF is highlighted by its choice as the venue to announce the annual Sheikh Zayed awards for literature, where each winner receives a gold medal, a certificate of merit and a cash prize: a total of Dh7 million ($1.9 million) is distributed among authors from various fields. As in such competitions around the world, the Sheikh Zayed awards never fail to provoke argument and discussion although this year's judges, for the most part, gained the widespread approval of the public for their winning selection.
A particular popular choice was that of Qais Sedki, who won the prize for children's literature with his book Siwar al-dhahab (Gold Ring). The book is the first Japanese style Manga work to appear in Arabic; the author's first ever published volume, and the only book by an Emirati to win a Sheikh Zayed award.
Sedki, who received an MBA from the American University of Sharjah where he specialised in IT, told The Middle East he was surprised but delighted to have won the prize.
The title of the book comes from a fictional sport loosely based on the sport of falconry. Sedki made a conscious decision to publish it first in Arabic even though there was a good chance that by launching it English, he would have boosted both sales and international popularity. "I felt it was important to publish first in Arabic. Most of our entertainment originates abroad and even with the best of intentions, it may not be appropriate to our customs, our identity or our religion. …

A custom shader for texturing voxels in voxeljs
Shaders for texturing voxels in voxel.js
Based on voxel-texture by @shama, mostly compatible but several differences:
Experimental toggling between voxel-texture-shader and voxel-texture: https://github.com/deathcap/voxel-debug
// create a material engine var textureEngine = require'voxel-texture-shader' // a copy of your voxel.js game game: game // artpacks instance artPacks: artPacks; // load textures and it returns textures just loaded textureEngineload'grass' 'dirt' 'grass_dirt' // create a new mesh var cube = Mesh CubeGeometrygamecubeSize gamecubeSize gamecubeSize // use the texture engine atlas material textureEnginematerial ; // paint the cube with grass on top, dirt on bottom and grass_dirt on sides textureEnginepaintcube 'grass' 'dirt' 'grass_dirt';;
Returns a new texture engine instance. Must pass a copy of your voxel.js
options defaults to:
artPacks: artPacks materialParams: ambient: 0xbbbbbb materialType: THREEMeshLambertMaterial mapmagFilter = thisTHREENearestFilter; mapminFilter = thisTHREELinearMipMapLinearFilter;
textureEngine.load(textures, callback)
Loads textures onto the atlas by expanding the texture names:
textureEngineload'grass' // textures = [grass, grass, grass, grass, grass, grass] ;
textureEngineload'grass' 'dirt' 'grass_dirt' // textures = [grass_dirt, grass_dirt, grass, dirt, grass_dirt, grass_dirt] ;
textureEngineload 'obsidian' 'back' 'front' 'top' 'bottom' 'left' 'right' 'brick' /* textures = [ obsidian, obsidian, obsidian, obsidian, obsidian, obsidian, back, front, top, bottom, left, right, brick, brick, brick, brick, brick, brick ] */;
Finds the type of block by texture name:
// Find and change the center block to grass gamesetBlock0 0 0 textureEnginefind'grass';
Although this is built into the voxel engine so you could just do:
gamesetBlock0 0 0 'grass';
textureEngine.paint(mesh, textures)
Modifies the UV mapping of given
mesh to the
textures names supplied:
// create a custom mesh and load all materials var mesh = Mesh Geometry textureEnginematerial; // paint the geometry textureEnginepaintmesh 'grass' 'dirt' 'grass_dirt';
Or if you have the
face.color set on the faces of your geometry (such as how
voxel-mesh does it) then omit the
textures argument. It will select the
texture based on color from all the previously loaded textures:
textureEngine.sprite(name, w, h, callback)
Create textures from a sprite map. If you have a single image with a bunch of textures do:
// load terrain.png, it is 512x512 // each texture is 32x32 textureEnginesprite'terrain' 32 // each texture will be named: terrain_x_y ;
The width and height default to
textureEngine.animate(mesh, textures, delay)
Create an animated material. A material that after each delay will paint the
mesh by iterating through
textures. Must run
textureEngine.tick() to
actually animate.
var mesh = Mesh Geometry MeshFaceMaterial;meshmaterial = textureEngineanimatemesh 'one' 'two' 'three' 1000;
Run the animations for any animated materials.
gameon'tick' textureEnginetickdt;;

 Winner of the Caldecott Medal
Bright Islandby Lynd Ward Mabel L. Robinson
Born and raised on Bright Island off the Maine coast, Thankful Curtis is more like her sea captain grandfather than any of her older brothers are. Nothing suits her better than sailing and helping her father with the farm. But when her dreaded sisters-in-law suggest that Thankful get some proper schooling on the mainland, the wind is knocked from her sails.Thankful finds the uncharted waters of school difficult to navigate: there's a rocky reception from her rich roommate, Selina; the breezy behavior of the charming Robert; and stormy Mr. Fletcher, the handsome Latin teacher whose caustic tongue masks a tender heart. And while Thankful works hard to make the best of her new life, Bright Island continues to flash in her thoughts, like the sparkle of the sun on the water.

The first book to examine the unprecedented growth of China's economic investment in the developing world, its impact at the local level, and a rare hands-on picture of the role of ordinary Chinese in the juggernaut that is China, Inc.
Beijing-based journalists Juan Pablo Cardenal and Heriberto AraUjo crisscrossed the globe from 2009-2011 to investigate how the Chinese are literally making the developing world in their own image. What they discovered is a human story, an economic story, and a political story, one that is changing the course of history and that has never been explored, or reported, in depth and on the ground.
The "silent army" to which the authors refer is made up of the many ordinary Chinese citizens working around the world--in the oil industry in Kazakhstan, mining minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo, building dams in Ecuador, selling hijabs in Cairo--who are contributing to China's global dominance while also leaving their mark in less salutary ways. With original and fresh reporting as well as top-notch writing, "China's Silent Army" takes full advantage of the Spanish-speaking authors' outsider experience to reveal China's influence abroad in all its most vital implications--for foreign policy, trade, private business, and the environment.
About the Author
Praise For…
"A fascinating book about a topic of great importance." —The Wall Street Journal
"Highly readable.... An important summary of some of the worst Chinese behaviour around the world." —The Economist
"[A] pioneering investigation….The book cuts to the political core by defining China's behaviour abroad as a mirror of its system at home." —Sunday Times
"Engaging and sympathetic portraits of some of the 750,000 Chinese who have set up retail businesses all over Africa selling the flood of consumer goods that pours out of China's factories….Fascinating and vivid reportage." —Spectator
"Excellent macro-economic insights….But ultimately the human stories are what make [China's Silent Army] so compelling….It ought to be required reading."
"The amount of reporting that went into China's Silent Army is truly impressive. It is the sympathetic accounts of ordinary emigrants' experiences that provide the backdrop for the real insights of the book." —Financial Times
"The Spaniards' research is prodigious and the facts they unearth startling....The Chinese should reflect on the questions the book raises." —Evening Standard
"Lively and humane….[China's Silent Army] offers essential information for all who wish to learn how the global reach of China Inc is transforming the lives of everyone on this planet." —Literary Review
"An excellent piece of investigative journalism….China's Silent Army is the first book to give such detailed coverage to the greatest Chinese emigration in history, which is changing the world, and to record the voices of those who are taking part….If you want to understand how China is changing the planet, read this book."
—South China Morning Post

1Whiten your teeth. Teeth whitening needs to begin anywhere between a month and a week in advance.You can whiten teeth by using whitening toothpaste or even through a dentist.
2Practice walking in high heels. If you can't walk well in heels on a stage, you lack poise and it will appear that you also lack confidence. Keep your hips straight, your shoulders SLIGHTLY back, and walk with one foot in front of the other.
3Do mock interviews. Yeah it may be a tad bit weird at first, but it is necessary. Most pageant interviews consist of questions off of your application. Ask a few friends to ask you questions and respond as you would in a typical pageant interview. Keep wonderful posture, be ladylike, and avoid any negative connotation.
4Choose clothing, hairstyles, make-up and other pageant wear well in advance. Try them on periodically to ensure proper fit. Make sure everything fits well, that there is no way you'll have any sort of mishap, and, finally, that none of your outfits are too reveling. As for the hair and make-up, practice often so that when your pageant day comes, you'll be able to do it in a snap!

I've set up a clustered print spooler on a two node W2K3 cluster. I've
installed my printers on the node that owns the print spooler resource and I
can print to all of the printers on that node just fine. However, when I
attempt to connect to the printers from a remote workstation over the
network, I'm getting an error that says 'Windows cannot connect to the
printer. Either the printe rname was typed incorrectly, or the specified
printer has lost it's connection to the server'. There is a kb article that
appears to address this issue, it's KB883789. I believe I've followed the
instructions in that article by setting up a group policy for the machine
that owns the print spooler that allows remote connections to the print
spooler. I also tried setting this up on the virtual server that owns the
print spooler in the cluster. Neither of these has worked. Can someone
point me to a solution? Thanks in advance.

Tackle Adam Gress is one of the most well-rounded student-athletes on the Penn State roster. He completed his coursework in May, earning his degree in telecommunications after playing in 11 games, with three starts, during the 2012 campaign. Gress also is heavily involved in the team's Penn State Lift For Life to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association. The former West Mifflin Area High School standout is one of the primary success stories of the strength and conditioning program implemented by Craig Fitzgerald and his staff in January 2012. Gress' dedicated work in the weight room and in conditioning has resulted in him adding nearly 25 pounds since the 2012 winter conditioning began, greatly assisting his larger role on the field. Possessing excellent physical attributes and improved strength and mobility, Gress finished spring drills as the top candidate at right tackle and should play a significant role this season. Gress is vice president of Penn State's Uplifting Athletes chapter and was extensively involved in the planning for Penn State's Lift For Life in July to benefit kidney cancer patients and their families. The Penn State Lift For Life has raised more than $700,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association since 2003, including a record total of more than $110,000 in 2011-12. Gress compiled a 3.34 grade-point average during the spring semester and is on schedule to receive a second degree, in journalism, in December.
2012 (Senior Season)
Gress appeared in 11 games, with three starts, with his first career start coming against Navy. His first start helped deliver a 34-7 win over the Middies for Coach Bill O'Brien's first career head coaching win. Gress also started the next two games and was instrumental in the Nittany Lions rolling to 496 yards and 36:52 in time of possession in the victory over Temple and gaining 389 yards on 82 plays in the 35-7 win at Illinois. He helped the Nittany Lions lead the Big Ten in total offense (437.0 ypg) in conference games and rank second in scoring offense (32.6 ppg) and pass offense (283.1 ypg) against Big Ten foes. Gress was instrumental in helping Penn State gain more than 500 yards of total offense three times in conference play, led by 546 yards against Indiana, its highest total against a Big Ten foe since gaining 557 yards against Michigan State in 2008. Gress played a vital role in helping pave the way for 1,000-yard rusher Zach Zwinak and protecting quarterback Matt McGloin during his record-setting campaign.
2011 (Junior Season)
Gress saw playing time against Indiana State, Temple and Eastern Michigan, with his most substantial action coming against the Eagles. Gress and the offensive line protected Matt McGloin to help him complete 14-of-17 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns against Eastern Michigan to share Big Ten Offensive Player-of-the-Week honors.
2010 (Sophomore Season)
In his first campaign on the field, Gress saw action in six games during the second half of the season. He saw most of his snaps against Minnesota, Michigan, Northwestern and Indiana and also played at Ohio State and against Florida in the Outback Bowl.
2009 (Freshman Season)
Redshirt season.
High School
A three-year letterman and four-year starter at West Mifflin Area High School, Gress played for Coach Tim Brennan. A two-year captain, Gress was named all-state and all-conference. He also was captain of the ice hockey team at West Mifflin Area.
Full name is Adam Michael Gress. He is the son of Armand and Lisa Gress. He has one brother, Armand. An uncle attended Penn State from 1983-87. Gress graduated in May 2013 with a degree in telecommunications. He is on schedule to earn a second degree, in journalism, in December. Born December 28, 1990 in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dallas Cowboys was arrested again on Thursday after he tested positive for marijuana for the second time since being released on bond. Brent has been out on bail since being charged with intoxicated vehicular manslaughter, stemming from a car crash that killed teammate Jerry Brown. This was his second failed test since being out on bond, with the first coming in May on another court ordered test. Despite the failed drug tests, multiple DUI's and looming intoxicated vehicular manslaughter charge, the Cowboys still plan to stand behind Brent and keep him on the roster.
On December 8th of last year, Cowboys practice squad player Jerry Brown died after sustaining blunt forced trauma of the head and neck. Josh Brent was driving the car at the time and had a blood-alcohol content of more than twice the legal limit (0.8). Only a few weeks after Brown's death, Brent was back on the sidelines with the teammates with the blessing of Jerry Brown's mother. She had asked the Cowboys to stand by Brent and support him after the death of her son.
I respect Jerry Brown's mother for overcoming her heartbreak to support Josh Brent and forgiving him for her son's death. Brent and Brown were close friends and I'm sure Brown's death is something that Brent aches and regrets every single day. But in a span of two months, he has failed two drug tests. Regardless of your feelings about marijuana it is illegal in Texas. Brent was granted bond by the judge even after his first positive test, but now with a second test just a month later, the judge may not give him another chance. He knew the court had mandatory drug testing but he stilled failed the tests anyway. Yet, despite all of this the Cowboys still are going to keep Brent on their roster.
What happened back on December 8th wasn't even Brent's first DUI, he was arrested for driving drunk on February 21, 2009. He was suspended by the University of Illinois and spent 30 days in jail as punishment. After he was released Brent told the Chicago Tribune in 2009 that it gave him "a new outlook on life and some of the mistakes I've made" he also told the Tribune that "You realize a lot of things, how naive and how dumb you can be sometimes". Fortunately, nobody was hurt or killed as a result of his first DUI and Brent swore it gave him a new outlook on life. Yet, just a little over two years later he made the same dumb decision and it cost the life of a close friend. Two DUI's, two failed drug test and one intoxicated vehicular manslaughter but that still isn't enough for the Dallas Cowboys to release him.
I will not compare this to how the New England Patriots handled Aaron Hernandez. Hernandez intentionally committed a far more evil and violent crime. Josh Brent made mindless decisions and showed arrogance and ignorance for his prior mistakes. But what kind of message are the Cowboys sending to young athletes out there? Will athletes see this as teams showing support for whatever you do, or will some end up using this to justify their own naive decisions. Teams and players need to set a positive example for the future generations, but all this does is show that if you are an athlete you can get away with things and not have to pay the consequences. It is time for the Dallas Cowboys to release Josh Brent and move in another direction. Let Brent get the help he needs from professionals and hopefully one day, he can turn his life around.

DALLAS (AP) - A Texas prison inmate on Monday was indicted by a Dallas County grand jury for attacking a newlywed couple at a Mequite college campus in 1993.
Alvin Avon Braziel Jr., 25, was charged with the stabbing murder of Douglas White and aggravated sexual assault of White's wife of 11 days. Prosecutors said Braziel fatally shot 27-year-old Douglas White in the chest as he jogged with his 24-year-old wife at Eastfield Community College after trying to rob them. Braziel then raped White's wife, authorities said.
The couple had married 11 days earlier.
Braziel was linked to the case last month after a Texas Department of Public Safety crime lab conducted a DNAdatabase search.
The computer system matched the DNA profile obtained at the crime scene with the convicted felon, Mesquite police said.
Braziel already is serving a fiveyear sentence at the Gib Lewis Unit in Woodville for an unrelated 1997 sexual assault of a child.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Greater Cook County Area expanded its newest facility this week to teens ages 13 to 18.
The center, located at the old Cook County High School, 1200 North Hutchinson Ave., boasts a lounge and game room.
So far, 19 teens have joined the club and officials say they expect another 60 by the summer.
"A nice, comfortable place where progressives are talking about their futures, what they can do on their day-to-day to improve their quality of life," said Ronald Mitchell, the chief volunteer officer, with the organization. "That's what we're shooting for."
The Teen Center was paid for with Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funds.
The next phase will be to remodel the football field, gym and theater.

Man faces felony assault chargeAugust 14,2014Man faces felony assault charge
A Brandon man on Wednesday denied striking a woman repeatedly at his Carver Street home.
John D. Desabrais, 43, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of aggravated domestic assault in the second degree. The aggravated charge was based on a violation of an abuse prevention order placed on Desabrais in March 2010.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $5,000 for Desabrais who posted that amount and was released. The judge also imposed a condition that prohibits Desabrais from possessing or consuming alcohol.
Brandon Police say they were called to Desabrais home at 20 Carver Street at about 11:10 p.m. Tuesday where a woman told police that he had struck her repeatedly and torn her clothes, according to court records.
Asked about the injuries to the woman, Desabrais said he and the woman struck each other during a mutual affray but declined to elaborate on the fight, and police said they found no injuries on Desabrais. The Brandon man also told police he had been drinking throughout the evening and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.161 percent when tested at his home. That level is twice the 0.08 percent legal limit to operate a motor vehicle in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

Verses from the Center: A Buddhist Vision of the Sublime
Riverhead Books, 2001 - Poetry - 181 pages
The understanding of the nature of reality is the insight upon which the Buddha was able to achieve his own enlightenment. This vision of the sublime is the source of all that is enigmatic and paradoxical about Buddhism. In Verses from the Center, Stephen Batchelor explores the history of this concept and provides readers with translations of the most important poems ever written on the subject, the poems of 2nd century philosopher Nagarjuna.

Disappointing. This is not a translation of Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika. It is an oddly framed up 80 page widely ranging introduction with 50 pages of poems that Batchelor drafted. I don't think ... Read full review
Review: Verses from the Center: A Buddhist Vision of the SublimeUser Review - Goodreads
3.5, actually. Very interesting intro by the author. Then the verses themselves sort of disappointed. Too repetitive, and they didn't feel as rich as the explanation that was done of them in the intro. Maybe it's a translation problem. Maybe I just didn't get it. Read full review

The Hood Museum of Art Marks 25th Anniversary with Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons
October 07, 2010
The Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College marks its twenty-fifth anniversary with a major exhibition of paintings by Frank Stella from October 9, 2010, through March 13, 2011. Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons presents one of each of the artist's eleven monumental compositions for the Irregular Polygon (1965–66) series, along with preparatory drawings, the 1974 print series Eccentric Polygons (based on the Irregular Polygons), and a selection of the artist's latest works, the Polychrome Reliefs. Together these objects testify to an outstanding artistic career and provide an exciting opportunity to engage with the "complex simplicity" that is the paradox of Frank Stella's art. The acclaimed abstract artist was awarded a 2009 National Medal of the Arts earlier this year by President Obama.

The exhibition is accompanied by a scholarly catalogue written by the show's curator, former Hood director Brian Kennedy, who assumed directorship of the Toledo Museum of Art in September 2010. Kennedy will deliver an opening lecture, Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, on Friday, October 8, at 4:30 p.m. in Loew Auditorium.
Stella returns to Dartmouth as a Montgomery Fellow from October 17 to October 24. On Thursday, October 21, at 4:30 p.m., he will participate in a question-and-answer session in Dartmouth's Spaulding Auditorium. This event is free and open to the public.

Various purposes including identification of employee talents and behavioral tendencies; useful feedback; control of employee behavior. Beneficial influence on human relations of an organizatioin. Negative aspects such as job dissatisfaction. Performance appraisals & litigatrion. Value of effective performance appraisals.
Paper Introduction:
Performance Appraisals Performance appraisal has long been one of the most hotly debated topics in personnel management circles and fortunately has also been the subject of a great deal of research. Gabris and Ihrke (2001) believe that performance appraisal serves many purposes within organizations, among which the provision of periodic, formal feedback to individual staff members figures significantly. A second and somewhat more debatable purpose of the performance appraisal is management's attempt to control employee behavior and results. Most performance appraisal instruments, in the view of Gabris and Ihrke (2001) are designed around managerial objectives and the types of behavior that management would prefer to routinize in employees. A final purpose of the performance appraisal rests upon its use as a

HarvardBusiness Review, 78(1), 21-22. Scotto, D. The legalramifications of performance appraisal: The growing significance. Performance appraisal reappraised. Aneffective performance appraisal that facilitates the development ofpositive human relations in the organization should be tailored to thetasks of the employee and not to some arbitrary and generalized set ofcriteria. Medical Laboratory Observer, 31(3), 38-44. Strategic Management andBusiness Policy. L., & Hunger, J. In other words,it is not an opportunity for criticism alone, but an opportunity for two-way communication that can inspire and motivate employees to improvedperformance. They are effective tools for moving theorganization forward (Martin, et al, 2 ). Developing a performance appraisalformat that accurately assesses an employee's contribution to theorganization is seen by Scotto (1999) as inherently difficult. Wheelen, T. These researchers found that a relationship existed betweenperformance appraisal perceptions and job satisfaction levels. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. Improperly applied,performance appraisals damage employee trust and serve no meaningfulpurpose. Testing the longitudinal impact of work variablesand performance appraisal satisfaction on subsequent overall jobsatisfaction. Properly done, the performance appraisal can also sensitize managersto the needs and concerns of their employees and help to identifyorganizational systems, processes, or jobs that could benefit fromredesign. This represents a more than 1 percent increase in the number ofsuch cases in just five years. PublicPersonnel Management, 29(3), 381-4 2. (1999). C., Bartol, K. A second and somewhat more debatablepurpose of the performance appraisal is management's attempt to controlemployee behavior and results. Grote, D. Gabris and Ihrke (2 1) believe thatperformance appraisal serves many purposes within organizations, amongwhich the provision of periodic, formal feedback to individual staffmembers figures significantly. Used in this manner, the performance appraisal is lessthreatening and more beneficial to all concerned (Grote, 2 ). A final purpose of the performance appraisal restsupon its use as a tool for managing employee compensation and identifyingemployees capable of advancing in the organization or in need of skills,training, or education (Martin, Bartol, & Kehoe, 2 ). T., & Ihrke, D. Martin, D. Viewed from this perspective, performance appraisals can becharacterized as a potentially beneficial influence on the human relationsaspects of organizations. (2 ). M., & Kehoe, P. Grote (2 ) and Scotto (1999) both made the case that manyperformance appraisal systems failed to capture sufficient informationabout the vast majority of workers. Does performance appraisalcontribute to heightened levels of employee burnout? The question of the degree to which performance appraisals arenecessary in organizations was discussed by Wheelen and Hunger (2 ).According to these researchers, a recent survey of 34 corporate plannersand human resource executives from 24 large American corporations revealedthat approximately 8 percent used performance appraisal systems toidentify employees' and managers' talents and behavioral tendencies so theycould place an individual with a likely fit to a given competitivestrategy. E. They alsofound that performance appraisals that address work-specific or taskmeasures rather than behavioral or attitudinal measures were less fearedthan the latter. Performance Appraisals Performance appraisal has long been one of the most hotly debatedtopics in personnel management circles and fortunately has also been thesubject of a great deal of research. Boththe number of organizations using a performance appraisal system and theuses of the results of such systems are increasing. In 1999, more than22, employment discrimination claims of which well over 4 percentincluded performance appraisal issues were filed in United States federalcourts. In this context, Gabris and Ihrke (2 1) examined the relationshipbetween employee perceptions of performance appraisal and both employeeburnout and experienced job satisfaction among workers for a countygovernment. References Blau, G. Theeffective performance appraisal helps to ensure mutual understanding ofgoals and objectives and serves as a locus for facilitating individual andorganizational growth. Scotto (1999) believes that the first step in conducting a successful,proactive, and ultimately empowering performance appraisal is to lose theidea that a performance appraisal is nothing more than a report card. (2 ). D. However, many workers and managers alike fear performance appraisalsand tend to regard them in a negative light. Blau (1999) suggests thatperformance appraisals can contribute to job dissatisfaction and to thedevelopment of negative employee attitudes toward their company. (2 ). Asuccessful performance appraisal uses a three-pronged approach of reviewingthe past, analyzing the present, and planning the future. (1999). (2 1). Additionally, more than 77, employmentdiscrimination claims were registered in 1999, with the Equal EmploymentOpportunity Commission. Gabris, G. Martin, et al (2 ) reported that performance appraisals have becomea focus of discrimination litigation in cases addressing layoffs,promotions, discharge, merit pay, or a combination of these actions. Human Relations, 52(8), 1 99-11 6. Used to genuinely identify competencies and toassist workers at all levels of an organization in maximizing their ownperformance and thereby their careers, the performance appraisal is abeneficial tool (Blau, 1999). Performance appraisals: More than just goingthrough the motions. Public PersonnelManagement, 3 (2), 157-168. Most performance appraisal instruments, inthe view of Gabris and Ihrke (2 1) are designed around managerialobjectives and the types of behavior that management would prefer toroutinize in employees. M. Again, performance appraisals were frequentlyincorporated into these claims, with many claimants asserting that unfair,discriminatory, and inadequate performance appraisal systems were beingused to their detriment (Martin, et al, 2 ).

Legendary Wookiee, Peter Mayhew, may return in 'Star Wars VII'… after dropping out of a fan convention due to 'filming' commitments.
Ever since the 'Star Wars' sequels were first announced, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford have been rumoured to return. But where would Han Solo be without his trusty Wookiee companion? Peter Mayhew (aka Chewbacca) might just return to the galaxy far, far away… let's just hope he remembers where he left that hydrospanner.
[Star Wars VII: Five actors up for lead Jedi role]
According to the folks running the Texas International Comic Con, 'Star Wars' favourite Peter Mayhew is unable to attend their event on 23 May, 2014… and the reason? Filming commitments.
We regret to announce that Peter Mayhew is canceling his appearance at Comicpalooza this year due to filming.- Comicpalooza Con (@Comicpalooza) March 28, 2014
Of course, there's been no official confirmation of Peter's involvement with 'Star Wars VII'… at least, to date. But considering the convention is scheduled for the end of May, it seems an obvious indication that Chewbacca (or Mayhew in another role) could appear in the upcoming sequel.
[Carrie Fisher filming Star Wars VII for 6 months?]
But while the towering seven foot, three inch actor is now rumoured to return, this wasn't always a certainty…
Back in September, the gentle giant found himself hospitalised for a double knee replacement - a move which some believed could be a pre-emptive move to put him back on his feet in time for 'Star Wars: Episode VII'.
But the 69-year-old 'Star Wars' actor admitted that it was no minor op… and while his recovery was thankfully quick, it could have taken a lot of patience to get him up and about again.
Thankfully, it looks as though he's fighting fit and ready to climb back into that Wookiee costume. But will he appear in 'Star Wars VII'? For now, we'll just have to wait and see.
Will Chewbacca appear in 'Star Wars VII'? Could Peter Mayhew nab another, less-costumed role? Let us know what you think in the comments below…

Chandler beats Millwood in Class 2A quarterfinal
CHANDLER — In game that ended five and a half hours after it started and was played in two towns, Chandler bested Millwood 40-0 Saturday in a Class 2A quarterfinal game. A blown transformer late in the second quarter caused a blackout at L.W. Good Stadium. Chandler was leading the homestanding Falcons 7-0 at the time. After about a 45-minute delay, Millwood athletic director Avery Gilliland determined that even if the transformer was repaired the game would not be able to continue because the circuit box at the stadium was burned up when the transformer blew. Gilliland said the OSSAA gave three choices for completion of the game: 1) play at Millwood Sunday afternoon; 2) play at Chandler Sunday afternoon or 3) continue the game at Chandler, starting at 11 p.m. Saturday night. After both coaches agreed on the late-night continuation and relocation, fans and teams headed for Chandler at 9:15 p.m. "I'm like everyone else — that's got to be a first," said Chandler coach Neal Bacon. "But once we got the game started again, it just seemed like any other game. I think our kids were pretty excited about coming home, even if it was in the middle of a game." Not everyone was pleased. "I really wish the game would have just postponed the game," said Millwood standout receiver Cameron Stewart. "I just think it made a lot more sense to come back and play in the afternoon than pile everyone and everything into cars, go up the highway and re-start a game about an hour after we're used to games ending." At the time of the loss of power, the game had been very evenly played. Chandler was up 7-0 and had 89 yards of total offense to 67 for Millwood. However, when the game resumed in Chandler, the Lions ripped off 33 unanswered points with Jack Gray throwing for three touchdowns and running for two more. In the end, Chandler outgained Millwood 445 to 165 in total offense. In retrospect, Bacon says the decision to continue play was an easy one for him. "When the lights went out we had a lot of momentum and we were moving the ball," he said. "We didn't want to try to go back and mess up the rest of the week's schedule." Nevertheless, wishing his final high school game had ended differently, Sanders said the move altered the outcome. "It did have a big effect on the game because it was a tight game before all that happened," said Sanders, whose team closed with a record of 10-3. "I'm not saying we would have won, but if we would have played at home the next day I don't think there's any way we would give up that many points or not score at all." Chandler (13-0) moves into the semifinals and will meet Kingfisher (11-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Moore High School.

It's time to renew: 2015 boat decals expire June 30June 18, 2015
It's time to renew: 2013 boat decals expire June 30May 23, 2013
OLYMPIA—Boating season is here, and the deadline for renewing boat and watercraft registration decals is right around the corner. All Washington state boat registrations expire on June 30.
Don't let an expired registration spoil your day; remember to renew before you get out on the water.
Boat registrations can be renewed online at the DOL website or in person at a neighborhood vehicle licensing office. Those who choose to renew at an office should make sure to note the registration number on the bow of the boat or watercraft and take that information to the office.
Due to budget cuts, DOL discontinued paper renewal notices for boats in 2010 and instead offered boat owners the opportunity to sign up to receive email renewal reminders. It's too late to sign up for an email renewal reminder for this year, but boat owners can sign up online at dol.wa.gov to receive renewal reminders by email in the future.
Skip a Trip — Go Online. The Department of Licensing has a wide variety of consumer services available online. Please visit our website at dol.wa.gov.

New, faster vehicle and boat title service now availableApril 26, 2012
Vehicle and boat owners who find themselves in a situation where they need a title certificate immediately now have a new service option called a Quick Title.
A Quick Title is an official certificate of ownership provided to a vehicle or boat owner across the counter at the time a title transaction is processed. Quick Title services are available in 16 locations around our state.
The key benefit of a Quick Title is speed. A title processed normally can take a month or more to arrive in the mail. In most circumstances, this doesn't present any problems for vehicle or boat owners. However, sometimes an owner will lose a title and need an immediate replacement to prove ownership or sell the vehicle to someone else.
The fee to get a Quick Title is $50. This is in addition to all other fees and taxes due at the time of the transaction. Quick Titles are not available for vehicles reported to DOL as destroyed or for vehicles classified as not eligible for road use.
People seeking a Quick Title must have all of the necessary title documentation completed and ready for processing at the time of the transaction. This documentation will be carefully reviewed for completeness and accuracy before the transaction is processed.
Vehicle and boat licensing offices currently offering Quick Title services include:
- Benton County Auditor's Office in Kennewick
- Clark County Auditor's Office in Vancouver
- Cowlitz County Auditor's Office in Kelso
- Franklin County Auditor's Office in Pasco
- Jefferson County Auditor's Office in Port Townsend
- King County Records and Licensing Services in Seattle
- Kitsap County Auditor's Office in Port Orchard
- Klickitat County Auditor's Office in Goldendale
- Lincoln County Auditor's Office in Davenport
- Pierce County Auditor's Office in Tacoma
- Skagit County Auditor's Office in Mount Vernon
- Snohomish County Auditor's Office in Everett
- Spokane County Auditor's Office in Spokane
- Walla Walla County Auditor's Office in Walla Walla
- Whatcom County Auditor's Office in Bellingham
- Whitman County Auditor's Office in Colfax
Quick Title counter service is not available at the Department of Licensing headquarters office in Olympia or at any location in Thurston County. But more counties are expected to begin offering this service in the future.
Boat email renewal reminders make for smooth sailingMarch 24, 2011
by Mark Horner
Own a boat (or know someone who does)? Here's an important story.
Due to state budget cuts, registration renewal reminders for boats are no longer being sent out in the mail. However, there's a simple solution.
Boat owners can sign-up to receive renewal reminders by email. Signing-up typically takes a minute-or-less on the Department of Licensing's website.
Yep—it's really simple, really fast, and super convenient.
If you know other boat owners, it's likely that they'd want to know about this change and would also like to continue receiving boat renewal reminders. Feel free to share this blog post. If you have a website or blog, you're certainly welcome to embed the video below into your site.
Boat license stickers expire ThursdayJune 30, 2010
Tomorrow (Thursday) is an important day for boat owners in Washington state. Don't get caught high-and-dry without a boat license. DOL just sent out a news release on this important topic statewide. We thought we'd share it here, too:
OLYMPIA—Boating is a popular activity on the Fourth of July holiday and the Department of Licensing doesn't want an expired boat license to cost you a $257 fine this weekend. All of last year's boat licenses will be expired on July 1.
Boat licenses can be renewed online at dol.wa.gov or at a neighborhood vehicle licensing office. Those who choose to renew in an office should make sure to note the registration number on the bow of the boat or watercraft and take that information to the office.
DOL also would like to remind boaters that haven't yet signed up for email renewal reminders to visit the agency's website at dol.wa.gov to sign up to receive a reminder next year.
