		Performance standards and expectations should be communicated to the employee at the time of appointment to the position and as they change thereafter.
		Probationary employees without permanent status in any class may be terminated for failure to meet the performance standards/expectations of the position or, upon recommendation by the supervisor, the appropriate dean/director/designee may extend the probationary period.
		Permanent status in a class entitles the employee to remain in the class, grieve adverse action, and accumulate retention points to be used in the event of a layoff.

	Performance Status Indicative of Need for Bone Scan in Kidney Cancer
		Patients with a performance status of 0 according to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scale, which refers to patients that are completely ambulatory and no symptoms that inhibit daily activities, had only a 1.4% incidence of bone metastasis, regardless of all other variables.
		The researchers concluded that ECOG performance status scores are highly predictive of bone metastases in patients diagnosed with RCC.
		Patients that have an ECOG performance status of greater than 0 are at a higher risk of having bone metastases and may benefit from a bone scan during their diagnostic work-up or prior to surgery.

		Research in status characteristics theory supports the assertion that sexual orientation, homosexual and heterosexual, is a diffuse status characteristic in The United States (Johnson 1995; Webster and Hysom 1995; Webster et al.
		In groups that are task and collectively oriented, status characteristics that differentiate actors or that actors believe relevant to the task may become important in determining task expectations for self and other.
		Status generalization theories have focused on the degree of relevance to task performance of a given characteristic not its weight.

		Higher status members are objects of increased performance expectations that increase the relative amount of participation and influence an advantaged individual has on the group.
		Following the procedures of Kenny (1979), a path analysis was done to decide whether the liking manipulation directly affected performance expectations or the effect of the liking manipulation on performance expectation was mediated through participants’ liking for their imagined partner.
		Therefore, because of heightened sensitivity to status compared to students, the impact of status manipulations in the Driskell and Webster study far exceeded the status manipulations in the other studies.

	Grassland Ecosystem Monitoring: A Nonquantitative Procedure for Assessing Rangeland Performance Status

		Assessment of rangeland health status is different from the traditional method for determination of range condition, which compares the current successional stage of the plant community to the theoretical climax plant community.

		We investigated possible discrepancies in the assessment of performance status among patients, nurses, and oncologists, and evaluated the prognostic importance of each assessment.
		Oncologists gave the healthiest performance status assessment, nurses an intermediate assessment, and patients the poorest.
		However, the assessment by the patients themselves failed to distinguish survival of patients with performance status 1 and 2.

		Performance at the Commendable/Sufficient level on one indicator and the Growth Plan level on the other indicator also results in Status 3, reflecting the view that a school that has performed in this manner is likely to continue to improve with its current level of effort.
		As in Table 1, overall ASAM accountability status for a given school year is determined on a scale of 1 — 3 (with 3 being the highest) based on combinations of performance levels attained on the school’s three selected indicators.
		Readiness indicators (Group I) are essential for assessment of school performance in assisting students to overcome social, attitudinal, and behavioral problems that limit their ability to attend school and learn in a school setting.

		In multivariate analysis, young age, high Karnofsky performance status, and the delivery of higher biologically effective doses of irradiation retained independent significance relative to the endpoint of survival.
		Survival following definitive irradiation is strongly related to two pretreatment factors (young age, high performance status) and one treatment factor (total biologically effective dose of cranial radiotherapy).

		Monitoring Metabolic Status: Predicting Decrements in Physiological and Cognitive Performance 3 Monitoring Overall Physical Status to Predict Performance There is an extensive body of literature dealing with the prediction of maximal physical performance in a variety of settings, including both the prediction of optimal performance and the prediction of performance deterioration.
		The investigators suggested that the improved performance at 31 hours of sleep deprivation was due to what has traditionally been termed “end spurt” in human performance research, that is, the participants walked faster since they knew this was the last work bout.
		In the early phases of overtraining, performance is not affected, but this is followed by a decrease in performance as the overtraining continues (Costill et al., 1988; Morgan et al., 1987, 1988).
