Top 10 Best House Petsfoxrocks There are so many popular house pets, but what is number 1?
The Top TenXW
I think dogs are friendly and loving. As they say " A mans best friend is a dog" I agree. I have the cutest cairn terrier. He is loving and when we take him for walks he always gets complements on how cute he is. He also does not tear up the carpet and make foot prints in the carpet. When has wet feet he knows he has wet he runs into his cage and waits until he has dry feet. So dogs are definitely a great house pet.
Beautiful, dutiful, happy, good, loyal, bests friend, playful, loves you the way you are, protects family, there for you when you are sad, know to show best greetings when you come home! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! - IceCream
Man's best friend! Will always be there for you, eager to obey, loving, loyal. If you want a pet to be part of the family, no animal can take the dog's place. Horses and other farm animals are too big to live 24/7 in the house with you, caged/tanked animals like fish, birds, reptiles, etc can't always be with you when you're watching T.V., going for a jog, at night curled next to you, etc. Cats are pretty darn close, but when it comes down to it, it's really the dog that shines as the most family-type pet.
I agree 100 percent!V324 Comments
Cats are so much better than dogs because:
-Cats clean themselves and have better hygiene
-Cats don't need to be walked, but sometimes you can train them to take walks outside (I've seen it before)
-Cats can learn just as many tricks as dogs. My grandma's old cat used to play fetch all the time.
-Cats can sit on your lap. Only small dogs can do this.
-Cats don't wake your neighbors.
-You don't need to take them out every few hours JUST to go to the bathroom.
-Cats are much cuter than dogs.
-Dogs kill and hurt people more in a year than cats would in a lifetime. I would know, since my mom got attacked by a pitbull (God, I hate large dogs like those).
-Cats are safer than dogs. Meaning, they are most likely not to pounce on guests or scare kids. My little brother is afraid of dogs but he thinks my cats are adorable.
-Cats can get feisty, but you will barely get hurt. When my cats are feisty, they barely make a scratch.
-Cats can nibble on your arms! ...more
I've owned and loved both dogs and cats. Your cat comments are true, but your dog comments are ignorant. I sympathize for your bad experience and fear, but because of these, you hate all dogs. How sad and how unfair. Dogs help many more people than they harm.
Cats are very loving and snuggly, but also independent, so you don't have to provide them all of your attention all of the time like you do with a lot of dogs. They are self-sufficient for the most part, able to be left alone for a weekend trip and never need to be "walked" at 2AM in the snow. I have had several cats that also enjoyed learning tricks, including "fetch" and "shake, " although I wouldn't consider this the norm.
By the way by statistics the amount of cats found in homes is much greater than dogs. There is most likely to be more than one cat in a cat household, rather than a dog in a dog household. CATS AND TORTOISES RULE! My cat(male)- Johnik(Johnny) and tortoise(female)-Jessica! LOVE!
Cats are adorable and loving. People say they are lone animals, and aren't friendly. That is NOT true, they are kind, friendly and VERY affectionate. Especially Burmese cats.V250 Comments
Beautiful animals, friendly, funny ears and always twitching.
Rabbits are so cute and mine follows me around the house they are really good pets so go and buy one
Rabbits are great house companions. They are not too much work and they are good pets for kids. They are really gentle and they clean their selves. And if your rabbit does get in trouble you won't get too mad at it because of it's cute face. I like cats, but I like rabbits more. Once my pet rabbit almost got eaten by a dog. Those dumb dogs! Why are they at the top?!? Here are some reasons why rabbits are (and cats) are better than dogs: 1. Rabbits, like cats clean and don't smell. 2. Rabbits are less expensive then dogs (my bunny was free but the only thing that costed money was the vet appointment) 3. Rabbits are bundles of joy, they hop to your feet and twitch their whiskers. 4. Rabbits don't make any noise. Dogs bark when you are watching T.V. shows and movies. And they bark all night. (I know because my friend who just got a dog and she told me that) 5. Dogs slobber and puppies pee and poo on the floor. 6. Rabbits and cats are way cuter then dogs. Dogs and puppies always look ...more
Don't extol the virtues of rabbits (and cats) by slandering dogs. You just appear jealous, nasty and ignorant. Dogs come in more sizes and variations than any other domestic animal, including small and cute ones. Dogs are the truest friends, loving, forgiving, and grateful. They guard, hunt, herd livestock, haul sleds, perform in sports, assist the handicapped, do search and rescue (and save lives), apprehend criminals, and detect bombs, narcotics, cancer, and termites. Dogs are wonderful.
I love my bunny thanks for helping meV138 Comments
Hamsters are good pets I've had one before. I'm thinking about getting one more because there so easy to look after and there cheep. Hamsters are not good for children under 6. I have a friend that breeds them and he says that there very easy to breed so unless you what baby's keep males and females apart also don't put two males together because they will fight once my cousins hamster almost died. So I would recommend a hamster as a pet.
I have a hamster and it is an amazing pet cute and cuddly and plus they can recognize who is who like when my dad comes near,my hamster stands up and looks puzzled but when I come near there is no problem there and if any of you are seeing this and are afraid hamsters might bite don't worry they don't bite unless you startle them or your hands smell like food. And hamsters are very affordable to take care of and not to worry at day time " their nocturnal" and so you don't have to worry because you can feed your little guys at night.
I had a hamster and they are adorable and easy to take care of they are also soft and cuddly.
Hamsters are really cute and fun to play withV86 Comments
Birds are much more cost-effective and easy to take care of in comparison to what they have to offer. Many birds can be just as social as dogs in cats, and much more than rabbits. They best part about birds is that they are extremely easy to breed and the babies are not hard to raise.
I love the kinds of birds that you can teach how 2 talk! -
Pigeons have a homing device! When you get lost in a dark, damp, forest, a pigeon will lead you home! Scientist don't know how they remember but some think pigeons are relying on the wind, moon, or sun. They are sorta cute! Why have compass on you hand when you hot a pigeon on your shoulder! Its feel like having a smart flying sidekick! Once you get one, you feel like having 2!
Birds can be as social as rabbits. Rabbits and birds are amazing pets I used to have a bird now I have rabbitsV84 Comments
Blue tongue skinks are the BEST lizard to have as a pet. Very docile and you don't have to feed bugs! They eat dog food and vegi's! (With calcium and vitamin supplements. ) You don't have to feed them every day. They love to cuddle. Best of all, they live up to 25 years!
My favorite lizard is bearded dragon
So bearded dragon should be 1 not to be mean
I have a leopard gecko and I can honestly say I think it's the best pet anybody can have!
I showed my mom this I think she's going to let me get one.V66 Comments
Great pets! They are really lovely and cute and are great with children!
It's an absolutely great pet to have!
I used to have 1 and he was the best pet I've ever had, and considering I've had horses, birds, dogs, cats, hamsters, and even lizards, it was a tough choice. But truthfully, I believe they're really the best and easiest to keep. They don't take much work but plenty of attention.
Guinea pigs should be much higher on this list! They are sweet and kind and often misjudged. They hardly bite (They bite only when they have a medical problem, or to let you know when holding them they need to use the bathroom, yes they are considerate of your clothes =]) I absolutely love my Guinea pigs and hope that they bring happiness to others.
Guinea pigs are amazing they are cute and fun pets to have as A KidV84 Comments
Ferrets are like a combination of a cat and a dog only better! So agile and playful, they can even be trained to come when called or do tricks. Their little ferret dance is always a blast to watch and their curiosity forever getting them into adorable awkward situations. If ever something goes missing, check your ferrets stash, it's almost certain the little carpet sharks decided it belongs to him now. Need less space than both dogs and cats, and have so much character, love them
Because ferrets are so playful, and energetic, and if you tame them, whenever you call them they will listen to you
My ferret bubbles is the weirdest little thing in the world. She steals my shoes, hides all the plastic bags in the house, runs around with an angry bird plushy and she hisses at my toes. Ugh.. But I love her haha
I agree so much and such social pets great for kids and guests they are so cute and so niceV79 Comments
Easy to take of and make great pets.
Amazing as geckos
I used 2 have a turtle it was so cool -
Turtle are cool and chilling animals and live a long time. They are endangered and need love and care. How could anyone not love these adorable creatures.
Not shore on this oneV45 Comments
Little squirrel like animal doesn't "fly" but jumps long distances using spread skin. Very Friendly. Sleeps in a small pouch or bag and can be trained to sit in a bag around your neck or in your pocket. (brought one to school in the pouch under my jacket and nobody knew. ) Nocturnal. When in pain or afraid of danger the animal lets out a growl or small squeak-ish noise to warn you. Very Good Housepet. But be aware although friendly the animal needs great attention and cleaning. If you don't spend great amounts of time with the animal he/she will create a hate toward you and begin to bite or get scared or mean towards you.
I used to have a pair of sugar glider! They are really loyal but however they both pass away due to illness, R.I.P.
I think they are really friendly and easy to take care of.
Awesome for pets great companionsV45 Comments
The Contenders
Easy, relaxing, pretty, and an all around fun hobby! Fish are great for those not wanting to invest too much money or time into a pet.
Fighting fish will last at least 3 years, only if you care for them properly. These fishes are not supposed to be mixed with other fishes, but are really pretty. Some fighting fish are different, which are expensive. But I really recommend fighting fish are great pets in small houses.
They are so fun to play with. They are very relaxing. The best reason is that Gold fish, especially black moor gold fish are the best pets in the world that you can ever have.
I have two fish and that are awesomeV34 Comments
I just got a male chinchilla and he is the sweetest animal I have ever had, I would recommend one to any home.
Chinchillas are the best of rodents...
Really need a lot of care and a very big cage. They wake up at night and sleep at day searching for one and can't find one just don't get it there a really big hand full rather get a gerbil
I love chinchillas they are amazingV17 Comments
They're very social and curious animals. Great for house pets. Take very little matinence and have little health problems
I love hedgehogs and want one soon badly, but unfortunately they are illegal to own wear I am.
They're very curious animals, friendly but you need to gain their trust. When you do, you will love them forever
Hedgehogs are awesome but I thought they were nocturnalV22 Comments
Many people see mice as smelly gross rodents but from my experience, mice are very playful and are very adventurous. Mice don't smell as bad as you think however this is said if you clean their cage weekly. Mice can be trained as well as rats and ferrets. Mice are very cute and love making little warm beds in small containers. It is recommended to buy two or more mice of the same gender, these little friends love to cuddle up to each other and clean themselves often.
Yeah! Cool! You can just leave them in your living room! And boom! Also, they are cute AND clean! In case you wonder, there IS a difference between rats and mice, mice love adventures and try to get away, rats will sit on your lap while you pet them! (Males usually, but females are sweet, too) but mice are also awesome!
Very cute, easy to look after and love to dig! I've had 17 and very friendly
They sound boss but prefer lizardsV7 Comments
I have them and thought they were a good idea at first but I was totally wrong. If you want a pet that will interact with you they are not the right one for you, at least in my case. They hide most of the time and aren't to keen on interaction (hence their name being HERMIT crabs). I also feel, in my opinion, they are way more work then their worth; it is recommended to change their cage bedding weekly and food and water daily, my parents are divorced so I simply am not able to follow that schedule. Even my local pet store employee advised me that I wouldn't like them. She was right and I should have listened! Once again this is my experience and my opinion don't get your panties in a bunch if you absolutely love hermit crabs and think I'm crazy this is just my opinion you're entitled to yours as I am entitled to mine.
I have one and I must say they are low maintenance but depending on your crab's personality they may not be very social. Most people would recommend a cage mate but my crab does not like cage mates and will not be happy if I try to introduce another crab. But if you want one of these pets be aware that they live VERY long, I've had mine since I was 8 years old and she's 21 years old now but still has a good 10 years left! So be aware that these pets live LONG but personally, I haven't regretted the pet yet
They are awesome easy to take care of weird and funny I had them for 1-2 years. you can take them out of their cage they get scared really easy. I am only 9 years old and I took care of them for a while they don't bother. and like to climb on bar cages.
I've wanted one for a while now I think their coolV20 Comments
Like every animal every individual snake has different personalities. I have a ball python and a boa both friendly and love gentle human attention.. BUT one likes to venture and mingle from one person to the next and the other I can just leave on the lawn and he won't move till I come back :)
But any ways very independent. Doesn't beg for attention. And adults eat any where from 2 weeks- 3months... But I wouldn't try starve them that long the tend to "hibernate" in northern climates. That being said they need HEAT to live though.
Excellent pets, if you choose the right species. Corn snakes are amazing: they come in over 50 morphs, are extremely docile, and all around require low care and skill. Fascinating, brilliant creatures, many good species. You can level up to more complicated ones after gradual experience, and engage in the wonders of these horribly misunderstood animals.
Can we do a list of easiest pets! Not including a dog or cat or anything because they aren't easy. The are expensive, effort, and you can't get your parents to let you have one. Stuff like hamsters, worms, rocks, mice, finches, STUFF LIKE THAT!
Snakes are amazing. I don't understand why they are so far down the list.V41 Comments
No! Please, never ever get an exotic pet! Arctic foxes deserve good habitats, and the only place fit for them is their natural habitat...the Arctic Circle! It is animal abuse to get one, not to mention illegal, inconsiderate, and flat-out crazy! If they get lost, they are a very dangerous to other pets, small humans, and their own selves! If you really want an Arctic fox, get a dog that acts/feels/looks like Arctic foxes!
Arctic foxes eat children, I learned the hard way, I went to the bathroom and when I came back, I only had half a child left, I had to put my arctic fox to sleep, my son Jimmy will be forever remembered
If they are trained right when they are babies, arctic foxes can be the equivalent or greater pets than dogs
I love this fluffy animals!V21 Comments
They are expensive, time consuming animals that require a lot of space but don't worry! It's worth it! Although I wouldn't say these animals are house pets, most likely they will need an area outside to graze and maybe even a little shelter outside, so they aren't house pets in most cases but if you have a lot of outdoor space they can be very rewarding animals
Pygmy goats are adorable loving they will love you just as much as you cat or dog and yes they do cost a bit but it is all worth it for a friend for life
I want a pygmy goat, I love them I might get a boy and a girl the food is free and I think cats, dogs, ferrets and pygmy goats are the best pet on the planet
Silly animalsV17 Comments
I got to sister gerbils 5+ years ago. One passed away 2 years ago, but I still have one who is now about 7 years old. She still acts fine and is very lovable, intelligent, sweet, and friendly. Gerbils are very easy pets with sweet tempers and are able to be trained. My girl uses a litter box which means I don't have to clean her cage often. It only took me about a week to litter-train her. She has never gotten sick and has never bitten anyone.
I Had a gerbil for 6 years and he was such a delight! My daughter loved him as well and they rarely bite. They are most of the time tame And live long
I had 5 gerbils in my life they are the best pets I only got one bite that broke skin and it was only because of a fight I was breaking up they are best kept in groups of two and are loving and trainable the only sad part is that they have short lifespans mine only lived 2 years and mostly all died of illnesses that are un known two however did not I had one gerbil with a 3 year life and she was very social I definitely recommend gerbils as pets
They are like so cuteV20 Comments
No. These animals should be in the wild and can become dangerous once they grow up. It it also very difficult and costly to provide everything needed for a monkey, but don't waste your time, these lovely creatures should just stay in the wild
I think they should be left in the wild: it would be near impossible to provide adequate habitat and mental stimulation
Monkeys are sometimes crazy but come on guys isn't having a monkey cool like everybody would want a monkey
They look so cut but at the same time they are very viciousV11 Comments

Service Catalog and the Back Office Connection
- December 2008
- Region: Global
- 3 Pages
- Enterprise Management Associates
With the introduction of the IT Infrastructure Library version 3 (ITIL v3), awareness and adoption of the Service Catalog is rapidly increasing. As a cornerstone of the IT front office, it offers IT users access to the services they need while shielding them from the complex technologies and processes of the IT back office. While much of the value of the Service Catalog stems from hiding these complexities, a well implemented Service Catalog can also help reduce or eliminate them. In fact, to get the most out of a Service Catalog implementation, leading IT organizations leverage the back office connection to automate once manual processes and even make intelligent decisions during the fulfillment of requests.
The Service Catalog has many roles to play. The ITIL v3 Service Catalog Management process builds direct relationships to processes in every stage of ITIL v3 Service Lifecycle – from Service Strategy and Design to Service Transition and Operation to Continual Service Improvement. For instance, it can link together the Financial Management and Demand Management processes to gain a better understanding of which departments are consuming what services and what cost. It can also integrate Service Level Management (SLM) to ensure committed service levels from the Service Catalog are monitored and maintained. But it is the ITIL v3 Service Operation's Request Fulfillment process that most directly interfaces with the Service Catalog Management process to connect the Service Catalog with the back office.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of LRR Energy (UNKNOWN: LRE.DL ) jumped 10% today after updating second-quarter operating results.
So what: Management said that production during April and May averaged 6,450 barrels of oil equivalent per day. That was up from 5,900 Boe/d in the first quarter, and at the high end of the expected production for the year of between 6,250 and 6,550 Boe/d.
Now what: The results were within expectations, but investors clearly think the company can outperform management's guidance this year. They didn't change guidance giving the second quarter results, so officially, the outlook remains the same, but investors' are raising the bar today. I think this is a positive sign, but, with the company posting a loss in the first quarter, I'd like to see a solid profit before jumping in.

At 8 p.m., the Gonville and Caius College Choir will present a free concert in the Chapel of Saint Michael the Archangel, singing a selection of sacred choral works and music from the court of Henry VIII. The ancient colleges of Oxford and Cambridge University preserve the English Choral Tradition at its height. Vermont audiences have very few opportunities to hear choirs in this tradition, which sound significantly different from American choirs, singing with a cleaner, lighter tone, almost no vibrato, and an extraordinary attention to tuning. In addition, the performance will showcase the College chapel's cathedral acoustics, while the choir's talented young organ scholars will make superb use of its 1966 Casavant organ. The concert, sponsored by the College's Department of Fine Arts and funded by the Marc and Dana vanderHeyden Endowment, forms one of a series of musical events at Saint Michael's College celebrating the 50th anniversary of the organ. Under Dr. Webber, this group has become one of England's leading collegiate choirs, with a world-wide reputation based on extensive touring, an exciting program of concerts and broadcasts, and highly acclaimed recordings. During the school year the choir's 24 singers and two organists, mostly undergraduates at the College studying a wide range of subjects, provide music for three Anglican chapel services per week and several College feasts.

As addictive as granola is to eat, so is it just as addictive to make! Often I end up making granola simply based on what ingredients I have sitting around. That is exactly how this one came about.
I never grew up eating granola, so I must be making up for lost time. It is such a versatile food. It can be used as a cereal, doused in nut milk, eaten by the handful as a mid-afternoon snack, sprinkle it over yogurt or ice cream, shape it into bars, or cookie forms, the possibilities are endless.

One of the greatest joys when creating raw food recipes is experimenting with different ingredients… a practice that I highly encourage. Daily I get questions regarding substitutions. Of course we all might have different dietary needs and tastes which could necessitate altering a recipe. I love to share with you what I create for myself, my husband, friends and family. I spend a lot of time selecting the right ingredients with a particular goal in mind, looking to build a certain flavor and texture.
So as you experiment with substitutions, remember they are what they sound like, they are substitutes for the preferred item. Generally they are not going to behave, taste, or have the same texture as the suggested ingredient. Some may work, and others may not and I can't promise what the results will be unless I've tried them myself. So have fun, don't be afraid, and remember, substituting is how I discovered many of my unique dishes.

Choosing quality of deathApril 24,2013
Choosing quality of death
We Americans are so fortunate to live in a country that prizes individual freedoms. Unlike those living under repressive regimes, we, not the government, are free to decide where we live, how much education we have, whom we marry, how many children we have, what kind of work we seek, how we worship, and many other choices that determine the quality of our lives.
However, as the end of our lives approaches, we discover that we dont have the individual right to determine the quality of our dying. The Vermont Legislature is now considering whether we, not they, should have this freedom. I believe we should. Do you? If so, please contact your legislators.

One hundred seven years ago today, Leslie Townes Hope was born in England. You might know him better as Bob. Yes, it's Bob Hope's birthday and we're celebrating by bringing you this special poem, which salutes all of those who have supported the USO and our Troops…
Throughout its noble history the USO has been there for America's brave, honorable ones who answered our beloved country's call on behalf of us all, standing proudly tall defending the home of the brave, and keeping the USA the land of the free with oh so many in harm's way.
The USO has gone and continues to go with patriotic volunteer entertainers from legends to new star faces bringing enjoyable reprieve to our troops near and far away, with a message of appreciation, respect, and support for their valiant duty to country!
The USO truly exemplifies love and pride of America, as does all the involved celebrity patriots with a special salute to those being there whenever asked like… Bob Hope, Wayne Newton, Martha Raye, Ann-Margret, Gary Sinise, and Toby Keith.

Committing an etiquette faux pas can be mortifying for anyone, especially if it happens at work. But for young employees, a lapse in decorum could mean the difference between taking a step toward advancement -- or out the door.
Knowing the proper ways to conduct yourself could give you an edge in your career, especially if you've just entered the workforce. Problem is, many young employees don't know the rules of conduct, either inside the workplace or out, says etiquette expert and international business coach Gloria Starr, who has counseled Middle Eastern dignitaries and Pentagon officials, among others. And if you ask Starr, proper etiquette is becoming a lost art. "I could grow to be 105 years old, and I'd never reach all those who need help," she told me. Here, the manners maven discusses the top four etiquette faux pas to avoid at all costs, whether you're a young public servant or a junior executive in the private sector.
1. Taking care of personal business at work. Spending a couple of minutes of your day to check your Facebook surely is OK? Wrong, says Starr. In the same way taking too long a coffee break or receiving or making personal phone calls, checking your Facebook or Twitter could be a one-way street to Unemploymentville, Starr warned. "This is a huge problem," she said. "I think that younger people aren't even aware of that it's disrespectful and it should be in the 'illegal' category. I'd fire someone if they were doing personal things during business hours. When you send a paycheck their way, you expect respect and proper behavior." Although Starr has a zero tolerance for employees doing personal things in the office, she says it's OK for workers to browse social networking sites during their break -- as long as it's not on their work computer. "On your own time, absolutely," she emphasized.
2. Looking like a slob. You don't need an Armani suit or Louboutin shoes to look a million bucks. The first step in looking presentable simply begins with clean, ironed clothes. A no-brainer? Sure, but Starr says many young people completely miss this part, which could hamper their chances of getting in on their manager's good graces. Also, always putting your best foot forward pays off: First impressions are formed within mere few seconds of meeting someone, and one research team found it takes just one-tenth of a second to make a judgment about a stranger. "Because we're so casual these days, anyone who dresses up slightly beyond baggy, wrinkled clothes would automatically be considered a serious, committed worker," Starr said. "If I'm flying to the Middle East or Europe, I dress in a proper business suit with stockings, heels and a hat. Do I get an upgrade? Most of the time, yes, because I look deserving. Do I get better service? Absolutely, because I look the part."
3. Demanding accolades and raises. One of the most commonly regurgitated gripes about the millennials is that they have an sense of self-entitlement unlike any other generation, which Starr says has tainted their expectations in the workplace. "Young employees are expecting recognition and promotion [early] in their employment, she said, "and that shouldn't happen." But that doesn't mean young employees should abandon their ambitions. Those feeling the itch to advance should take a look at their achievements and then talk to their managers about how they can be better at their job. That talk could sound something like this, Starr suggested: "I've been in the company for a year, and I respect your judgment. Please let me how I can do more. I'm ambitious and would like to be honored with the opportunity to add greater value to the company. Thank you."
4. Slacking off. No workplace is safe from the slacker who does next to nothing but appears to always be busy. I should know: I once worked with a guy who did roughly two hours of work and then spent the rest of the workday watching movies and checking sports scores on ESPN.com. "Why are we rewarding that kind of behavior?" Starr asked. "You can look busy and accomplish next to nothing, but it's about bottom line -- our government is broke, what the hell are we doing? Why are we rewarding bad behavior? Let's clean out the problems." If you want to avoid being labeled as a slacker -- because everyone in an office knows who the underachiever is -- work! It's as simple as that, Starr said, but always strive to do more. As example, Starr mentioned one particular worker in her own staff who in her five years of employment has never been late, always comes in with a happy attitude and never complains about 14-hour days. Go the extra mile, Starr encouraged, because your employer will notice and reward you in one way or another.

I find these "rules" superficial and a bit out of touch. It's time to look passed these "measures" and look to quality performance and output. When I was a manager I never measured my employees by whether their shirt was pressed; it didn't bother me they spent some time during work hours doing personal stuff (or slacking) as long as performance wasn't impacted. In fact, there are companies, like a lot of silicon valley or the dotcom companies, that allow for "playtime" during the day.
Regarding rule #1 - completely agree IF management respects the work/personal time boundary. EXPECTing me to work extra hours and not pay me for those hours, work extra hours or expecting me to be on call without consideration of my personal commitments negates the rule...
We have a young woman employee. Very fashionable and athletic. She does a super job and is very dedicated, but the head female supervisor counseled her about proper dress when she was running around the office barefoot.

Man pleads in fraud casesMay 18,2013Man pleads in fraud cases
BURLINGTON A Wolcott man has pleaded not guilty to selling used vehicles he is alleged to have tampered with in order to get a better price.
Douglas Jordan, 40, was charged with fraud and firearms charges in U.S. District Court in Burlington on Thursday.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Jordan, doing business under the name Auto Credit Solutions, bought high-mileage used cars at auctions in Vermont and resold them. The department says Jordan would do things like removing or disabling warning lights for anti-lock brakes, air bags and check engine systems and is also accused of rolling back a trucks odometer 100,000 miles so he could get a better selling price on the vehicles.
Jordan is also charged with having a firearm as a felon, as the department says he has a felony driving conviction in Massachusetts.
If convicted, Jordan faces a maximum of 20 years and a $250,000 fine.MORE IN This Just In

News 12 First at Five/ July 31, 2014
BURKE COUNTY, Ga.--A convicted sex offender with a 41 page rap sheet ends up in the Burke County Emergency Room claiming he killed his father and four other people. He's in jail in the psych ward now, but authorities are still trying to figure out how a sex offender slipped through the cracks without making it onto Burke County's sex offender registry.
You won't find Perry Nathan Smith's name on the Burke County sex offender registry. Sgt. Annette Hodge with the Burke County Sheriff's Office says, "Right now we don't know where he was supposed to have been."
Deputies got a call last week from the Burke County ER. Smith allegedly told nurses he killed his father and four other people.
"Eventually, they had to arrest him for causing a disturbance. That's when they found out he was a sex offender," Sgt. Smith said.
While the story about murdering 5 people turned out to be false, they did learn some surprising truths. Smith is a convicted sex offender with a 41 page rap sheet. He's been in and out of prison at least 7 times. Two of those sentences were for child molestation charges. Hospital records list two separate Burke County addresses since his most recent release from prison in 2013, which was news to the Sheriff's Office.
The current address where Smith claims to live in Waynesboro is just a couple of blocks away from a children's park. The other address he listed back in 2013 is near Henrietta Lake's home. She doesn't recognize his picture, but the circumstances are troubling to her.
"I'm very concerned about my grand kids. Not only my grand kids, but the other kids in the area," she said.
Sgt. Hodge says once sex offenders are released from prison, the state is supposed to let the county know. In this case, Smith was originally released in Richmond County.
"The Department of Corrections actually should have been responsible for him until Richmond County put him on the registry. Richmond County never had contact with him," Sgt. Hodge says.
It appears Smith was shuffled to a few different halfway homes and care facilities, but in the process, no one let Burke County know he was there. A big mistake that could have ended a lot differently, Lake says. "I'm very surprised, and I feel they're not really doing their job."
Smith is in custody at the East Central Regional Hospital in Augusta, charged with disturbance at a hospital and being a wanted sex offender. It'll be up to a court to decide what happens next.

AbstractThis study uses the Joule heating effect-generated temperature difference to monitor in real-time and localize both compressive and tensile strains for the polymer substrates used in the roll-to-roll process. A serpentine gold (Au) line was patterned on a polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN) substrate to form the strain sensor based on thermoresistive behavior. This strain sensor was then subjected to either current or voltage to induce the Joule heating effect on the Au resistor. An infrared (IR) detector was used to monitor the strain-induced temperature difference on the Au and PEN surfaces and the minimal detectable bending radius was 0.9 mm with a gauge factor (GF) of 1.46. The proposed design eliminates the judgment ambiguity from conventional resistive strain sensors where resistance is the only physical quantity monitored. This study precisely and successfully indicated the local strain quantitatively and qualitatively with complete simulations and measurements.

A Fundamental Problem
Published: July 14, 1996
(Page 8 of 10)
ACROSS FROM THE National Cathedral in Washington, the Cafe Deluxe offers meat loaf, martinis and a mahagony bar -- just the sort of a stylish new place where a happy operative might sit and savor a success. On the the second Monday of June, a high prince of the Dole campaign was doing exactly that. He was recounting -- with great detail, understandable pride and an insistence on anonymity -- how the campaign had defused the abortion plank controversy, thereby insuring a harmonious convention in San Diego.
Only a few days earlier, after months of anticipation, Dole had finally stated his position. Despite the growing criticisms of moderate Republican governors, he would keep the strict anti-abortion plank. But he would also add "tolerance language" to assure supporters of abortion rights that their concerns were understood. Dole's statement had achieved the seemingly impossible. It won generous praise from the advocates of abortion rights, like Gov. Christie Todd Whitman of New Jersey. Yet the opponents, including Buchanan himself, declared they were happy, too.
"We're geniuses!" the Dole aides had told one another, as they watched that evening's news. There was just one arcane detail left: where to put this "tolerance language"? Dole had strongly implied, without flatly stating, that it would go in the preamble to the entire platform, not in the abortion plank itself. That way it would acknowledge disagreements in many areas, without suggesting any particular wobbliness in the commitment to the unborn.
From afar this seems like so much talk of angels on a pin -- either way, the plank still calls for a complete abortion ban. But to finely trained ears, it is a matter of, well, life and death. "There's no confusion here," Deep Bistro told me as he munched his Caesar salad. "We're talking about the whole platform, not the plank."
What the Dole aide didn't know was that, at the very moment we were eating lunch, Dole was going on CNN to fire-bomb his hard-won peace. The conversation was over, Dole said; the disclaimer goes directly in the plank. "It has been resolved," he said. "I made that decision. It is not negotiable."
And hundreds of anti-abortion delegates immediately vowed to fight him. Representative Henry Hyde, Dole's choice to head the platform committee, even warned that he might resign. What could Dole have been thinking? There are two possibilities: a) he wasn't or b) the plank itself is so unpopular that Dole felt he had to find a way to further distance himself from it, even at the risk of inciting the right. Dole's erratic campaign style points toward the former, but the polling data hint at the latter.
While the anti-abortion forces have fervor on their side, two-thirds of the party favors keeping some form of abortion legal. The plank, by contrast, calls for a constitutional amendment to ban all abortions. There are no stated exceptions for rape or incest; there are no stated exceptions for the life of the mother. There are, it appears, simply no exceptions. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, when the National Republican Senatorial Committee polled the party this spring, it found that as many as 40 percent of Republicans were considering a vote for Clinton because their own party was so strident on social issues.
Reed saw the problem coming and he wound up the first to be burned. When he sent "Active Faith" to press last winter, he included his own stab at an alternate plank and quickly found himself labeled a Judas. By accident or design, Reed's language was perfectly ambiguous on the central issue of the debate: whether the plank would call for a constitutional amendment. It pledged to "seek by all legal and constitutional means to protect the right to life." But does that mean under the current Constitution? Or under an amended one?
The unveiling of Reed's plank happened to coincide with a news conference Bay Buchanan had organized to threaten Dole, but she now had Reed in her cross hairs as well. "We are saying no words can be changed," she said. "We will fight them inside the convention hall. We will fight them outside the hall. We will fight them on radio, on TV, in the mail, on the phones. We will fight and fight and fight until we win. There is no compromise. There is no negotiating. There is no appeasement."
Within a few days, Reed was calling it all a great misunderstanding; he had written his plank merely as an intellectual exercise, he said, not as a trial balloon. "I think that my pro-family and pro-life credentials are, you know, beyond reproach. For anyone to suggest that I was planning on going to San Diego to water down the platform is laughable." Bay Buchanan puts it differently: "That prodigal son didn't get to the end of the block."
Reed's experience in touching the third rail eerily presaged Dole's. The campaign started searching for a compromise as early as April, when the moderate governors began threatening a floor fight. The Dole aides then found the tolerance language in a particularly thrilling place: Ronald Reagan's 1980 platform. Who would quarrel with the Gipper? Dole gave the go-ahead and they released the statement of June 6 to rave reviews.

Contemporary dance can inspire confusion and panic in the average viewer.
But now it's time for us all to get over it, and Rayn Hookala is here to help. A graduate student in Arizona State University's department of dance, Hookala works overtime with her own dance company, Rayn Dance Theatre. The group emphasizes outreach, which means making modern dance more understandable. It might even make you laugh.
"People often feel as if they're not getting' the message that choreographers meant for them to get in a performance," say Laura Steigerwald, promotions manager and dancer with Rayn Dance. But Steigerwald says Hookala's choreography for this exciting new company is "gesture oriented," and therefore easier to understand. "We strive to make our performances accessible to our audiences, and we employ athletic movements versus traditional ballet movements," she says.
One of the company's pieces focuses on gestures of the male gender, and investigates how those gestures might look if taken to the extreme. All of the graceful female dancers in the company dress as men and sport mustaches for the performance, too. It's a fun piece that allows the audience to recognize the humor in simple, often unnoticed acts in our everyday lives.
Upcoming Events
In addition to teaching us how to laugh at a dance performance, Rayn Dance has commissioned some extraordinary talent in guest choreographer Jennifer Tsukayama, an associate professor of dance at ASU and the founder and artistic director of the Tsukayama Dance Collaborative (tdc). She has created a work that revolves around local poet Norman Dubie's poem "The Last Sentence of the Evening," which is not to be missed.
The group's debut performance is your chance to catch a glimpse of dance anew and welcome fresh young talent to the Valley's dance community.

Klitschko Set To Add To Growing Pile of Accomplishment
By Lyle Fitzsimmons
His accomplishments precede him long before he reaches the ring.
• Consensus world heavyweight champion.
• Thirteen successful title defenses.
• Seven defenses against current or former world champions.
• Unbeaten for more than nine years.
• A KO winner in 50 of 62 career fights.
And even at a freshly-minted age 37, he shows no signs of slowing down.
Yet somehow, Ukrainian strongman and reigning IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko remains one of the sport's most consistently underappreciated commodities.
The 6-foot-6 slugger, last active in November, will return to action on Saturday night in Mannheim, Germany when he faces German-based Italian challenger Francesco Pianeta – the No. 13 non-belted heavyweight in the world, according to the IBO's Top 100 computerized rankings.
The fight is getting a large dose of apathy from the mainstream boxing press, which finds itself preoccupied with the latest belligerent missives from Floyd Mayweather Jr. and the insistent claims from Robert Guerrero – who's spent the last year goading his way into the spotlight – that he's actually the civilized and gentlemanly alternative to "Money's" longstanding theatrics.
Much of that can inattention can be laid at the feet of Pianeta, a heretofore anonymous 28-year-old who's ranked no higher than seventh by any of the most significant organizations and whose highest-ranked opponent was a 47-year-old version of ex-WBC champ Oliver McCall.
Not exactly the stuff heavyweight superfights are made of.
In fact, the biggest buzz surrounding Klitschko heading into fight week had zero to do with Pianeta, and everything to do with the $23.3 million purse bid forked over by Russian-based promoter Vladimir Hryunov for a subsequent date with former Olympic gold medalist Alexander Povetkin in the summer.
With 75 percent of that largesse earmarked for his wallet, it's hard to imagine Klitschko letting Pianeta play a role that stretches far beyond crash test dummy.
Assuming the stand-in is indeed dispatched, Klitschko will continue his quest for history.
A 14th straight title defense would keep him in elite company in the division's all-time annals, alongside only Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes in the modern era.
Louis was undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1937-1948 and defended a remarkable 25 times, winning all but three by stoppage.
Ali defended his consensus crown 10 straight times, including five KOs, between winning it from George Foreman in 1974 and losing it to Leon Spinks four years later.
Holmes won the vacant WBC version of the title against Ken Norton in 1978 and risked it 17 straight times before giving it up in 1983 to wear the newly-founded IBF's belt. He defended that title three more times before finally losing to Michael Spinks in 1985.
Fifteen of Holmes's 20 defenses ended inside the distance.
Klitschko's automaton-like compilation of numbers – albeit without a single career-defining foe – warrants inclusion in the same general breath as Ali and Holmes as the fifth-best among the 15 heavyweights who've claimed consensus recognition since Ali first emerged as champion in 1964.
To these eyes, only Ali, Holmes, Riddick Bowe and most recent undisputed champion Lennox Lewis are clearly ahead of him in the last 49 years, which, by definition, puts him ahead of more-celebrated notables like Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier and Foreman.
Why? Because he's a big man who can box and punch and can't help but climb the charts with each successively more dominant performance. He's cleaned out the top 10 and all but unified the division in the family name, which is a significant accomplishment in a splintered era.
IBO President Ed Levine is solidly in Klitschko's corner in terms of historic comparisons.
"I think it's clear that Wladimir has accomplished more than most men who've ever reached the championship level," he said. "His level of dominance since becoming champion rivals anyone's, and I think people will only develop a true appreciation for him after he's no longer active."
Provided he's successful against Pianeta and then Povetkin, Klitschko's long-term opponents list may veer toward the few contenders he's not already handled. Finnish slugger Robert Helenius, 29, is 18-0 and ranked third on the IBO computer, Bulgarian Kubret Pulev, 31, is the incumbent European champion and confident British tough guy Tyson Fury, 24, has trained his sights on the reigning elite.
The latter defeated American Steve Cunningham in an IBF eliminator in April in New York.
"When Wladimir Klitschko fights me," Fury said, "I will knock him out just like I knocked Steve Cunningham out."
Of the top 10 challengers in the IBO rankings, Klitschko has beaten No. 2 David Haye (UD 12, July 2011), No. 8 Tony Thompson (KO 11, July 2008; and KO 6, July 2012). His brother, WBC champion Vitali, has beaten No. 4 Tomasz Adamek (KO 10, September 2011) and No. 7 Odlanier Solis (KO 1, March 2011).

Interaction with current students and faculty can provide a wealth of information for prospective students entering the graduate school selection process.
To schedule a campus-wide tour, please refer to this link: Campus tours
For additional questions about planning your visit, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We look forward to meeting you!
