Hearing in dog attack case postponed
MORE: Read more Spotsylvania County news
This Friday's hearing on whether a Spotsylvania County woman's dog should be declared dangerous has been postponed by one week.
The hearing had been scheduled for 9:30 a.m. in Spotsylvania General District Court. The county attorney handling the case said it has been delayed until March 7 at noon.
Latoya Johnson, 33, of Hastings Count in the Lancaster Gate subdivision, was charged with letting her dog run at large and not having a county license for the dog after her dog reportedly killed another dog in the subdivision on Jan. 12. Both charges are misdemeanors.
The dangerous dog classification is not a criminal charge but a legal classification. An earlier story provides details on the classification and the requirements associated with it.
Deputies were called to Hastings Court at 11:45 a.m. on Jan. 12 for reports of a pit bull attacking another dog, Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Pearce said.
A woman was walking her Maltese when the pit bull got out of its owner's house or yard, according to witnesses.
The woman attempted to keep the pit bull away by picking up the Maltese and calling for help, but the pit pull jumped up, grabbed the little dog from her arms and killed it, Pearce said.
This report provided information on safety when dealing with any dog. report.

I would never let my dog near a pit bull. You can love them all you want, but they are a very dangerous breed.
"pit bull" not an actual breed. I had a friend with a golden lab when I was younger, it ate their cat literally ate it. No one put that dog down, why? It was a "family dog" dangerous is a relative term and should be limited to define the owners not the animals.
Pitbulls are inherently more aggressive than other types of dogs. These stories are becoming all too common with pitbulls. If people can't handle a pitbull or train them properly, they should not own them. I agree with you on that.
She didn't let the pitbull near her dog, the pitbull came after them.
Even worse! LOL
Terrible beasts, those Molosser/pit breeds.
Was Johnson ever convicted of the misdemeanor charges? Given what happened, why wouldn't the dog be considered dangerous?
ALL DOGS- big or small, dangerous or not NEED TO BE ON A LEASH! Any thing can make them snap and attack, even your small, sweet, and innocent Fluffy!
Sooooo sick and tired of pit bulls as some sort of status symbol.
If you want to own a pit bull you have to stand responsible for that dogs action. Is the dog dangerous? of course it is. Why was it off a leash is the owners problem and they should pay some retribution for letting this dangerous dog out. Another person mentioned these dogs are a sort of status symbol and I agree a lot of owners buy them for just that reason.
No matter what type of dog it is the owner is responsible for its action. When anything attacks without provocation to kill it is dangerous. I would submit even people in that same category. Thats why we have jail terms for murder.
" reportedly killed another dog in the subdivision on Jan. 12?" the dod was killed, there isn't anything reportedly about it. I'm glad the woman wasn't out with a young child.

Merritt Clifton Editor OF Animal People:
Of the 4,558 dogs involved in fatal and disfiguring attacks on humans occurring in the U.S. & Canada since September 1982, when I began logging the data, 2,923 (64%) were pit bulls; 541 were Rottweilers; 3,696 were of related molosser breeds, including pit bulls, Rottweilers, mastiffs, boxers, and their mixes.
Of the 523 human fatalities, 269 were killed by pit bulls; 84 were killed by Rottweilers; 392 (75%) were killed by molosser breeds.
Of the 2,593 people who were disfigured, 1,753 (67%) were disfigured by pit bulls; 319 were disfigured by Rottweilers; 2,169 (83%) were disfigured by molosser breeds.
Pit bulls–exclusive of their use in dogfighting–also inflict about 10 times as many fatal and disfiguring injuries on other pets and livestock as on humans, a pattern unique to the pit bull class.
Surveys of dogs offered for sale or adoption indicate that pit bulls and pit mixes are less than 6% of the U.S. dog population; molosser breeds, all combined, are 9%.

Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Pit bulls are not only problematic in large cities; they threaten mid-sized cities and small towns as well. Located in the heartland, Council Bluffs, Iowa has about 60,000 citizens.
After a series of devastating attacks, beginning in 2003, Council Bluffs joined over 600 U.S. cities and began regulating pit bulls.
The results of the Council Bluffs pit bull ban, which began January 1, 2005, show the positive effects such legislation can have on public safety in just a few years time:1.

Miss Universe Canada has joined the fight for a pit bull ban in B.C., and plans to make the effort a major part of her reign.
Sahar Biniaz, 26, was crowned Miss Universe Canada on May 19, and thinks the provincial government should adopt either a pit bull ban or at least require that pit bulls must be leashed and muzzled at all times.
The Richmond resident was a victim of a pit bull attack herself at the age of 14, a year after her family adopted a five-month-old pit bull from a breeder.
The pit bull "came from a really nice environment," she said, but "then I ended up getting 16 stitches." Biniaz still bears the scars on her chest to this day.
"I was just sitting down and it just kept staring at me, and I don't know what aggravated it," she said. "It just all of sudden… went off."
Biniaz said her parents ended up getting rid of the pit bull as opposed to putting it down, but every time she hears of a pit bull attack she remembers that day.
"This is something you hear all the time, over and over again," she said, noting that with her Miss Universe Canada title she now has "a voice… to bring more awareness to this [issue]."
Biniaz said recent pit bull attacks — like the one on Emma-Leigh Cranford, 4, on Aug. 23 in White Rock — spurred her to act.
Cranford survived with 40 stitches across her jaw, but not before a two-hour surgery at B.C. Children's Hospital.
Biniaz said she has already spoken with White Rock Coun. Alan Campbell, who said he would bring up the possibility of a ban when council reconvenes Sept. 17.

Toronto dog bites fell after pit bull ban
Patrick Cain, Global News : Monday, November 14, 2011 02:12 PM
The number of dog bites reported in Toronto has fallen since a ban on pit bulls took effect in 2005, public health statistics show.
A total of 486 bites were recorded in 2005. That number fell generally in the six years following, to 379 in 2010.
Provincial laws that banned 'pit bulls,' defined as pit bulls, Staffordshire terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, American pit bull terriers and dogs resembling them took effect in August 2005. Existing dogs were required to be sterilized, and leashed and muzzled in public.
Bites in Toronto blamed on the four affected breeds fell sharply, from 71 in 2005 to only six in 2010. This accounts for most of the reduction in total bites.
The fall in bites blamed on the four breeds tracks a reduction in the dogs themselves, data obtained separately byglobalnews.ca under access-to-information laws shows. Some 1,411 Toronto dogs were in the four breeds in 2008, as opposed to 798 in mid-2011.
"It is encouraging to hear that fewer people are victimized by dangerous dogs," Ontario Attorney-General John Gerretson said in a statement.
About 1,000 Ontario pit bulls have been put down since the ban took effect.
With totals of Toronto dogs by breed and ten years of bite data, it is possible to see which dogs are most likely to bite in Toronto based on a ratio between dogs of a given breed in 2011 and reported bites over the decade between 2000 and 2010. Below are the 20 most bite-prone dogs. The four prohibited breeds all appear in the top eight slots.

Research showing severe dog bites are fewer in Manitoba areas with pit bull bans.
The study, conducted by University of Manitoba scientists, shows the number of dog bites requiring hospitalization have decreased since pit bull bans went into effect in 2005.
It states the number of hospitalization attacks fell from 3.5 per 100,000 population to 2.8 after the legislation took effect.
Many people feel the breed is inherently aggressive.
The study doesn't purport to be the last word on the issue but does contain some compelling data, particularly when comparing Brandon, which has never prohibited pit bulls and Winnipeg, which has, said study co-author, Dr. Malathi Raghavan
"I would not claim this is the ultimate study … all dogs bite," she said.
But she said the data collected from 16 larger Manitoba jurisdictions, along with recent Spanish and Texas studies suggesting similar results, is compelling.
"We should pay attention to the fact there is something going on here," said Raghavan.
The Spanish data showed similar hospitalization reductions in the absence of pit bulls while the Texas research indicated higher rates of death, severe injury and treatment costs are linked to the breed.
Raghavan said she was careful to isolate the pit bull factor from others, such as changes in dog populations.
"The legislation was a variable coming out significantly," she said.

Wichita, Kansas
In January 2009, the Wichita Department of Environmental Services released a number of pit bull statistics. The figures are based upon the Wichita Animal Control department's investigation of 733 dog bites in 2008.
Included in the data are pit bulls encountered by the Wichita Police Department. In the 1-year period, 95% of police encounters with aggressive dogs were pit bulls.
The report also showed that the percentage of pit bull encounters had increased from 66% in 2004 to 95% in 2008. Subsequently, four months after the release of this data, the City of Wichita enacted a mandatory pit bull sterilization law.
55% of all dogs deemed dangerous were pit bulls (41 pit bull dogs deemed dangerous).
34% of attacks and bites involved pit bull dogs (246 pit bull attacks/bites).
28% of dogs found running at large were pit bulls (1,279 pit bulls found running loose).
25% of dogs impounded were pit bulls dogs (1,575 pit bulls impounded).
37% of all dogs euthanized were pit bull dogs (1,255 pit bulls euthanized).
23% of dog complaints involved pit bull dogs (2,523 complaints involved pit bull dogs).
In a discussion of the Denver ban, Assistant City Attorney Kory Nelson recently told the San Francisco Chronicle that:
"Since 1989, when that city instituted a pit bull ban, 'we haven't had one serious pit bull attack,' said Kory Nelson, a Denver assistant city attorney. His city's assertion that 'pit bulls are more dangerous than other breeds of dog' has withstood legal challenges, he said.
'We were able to prove there's a difference between pit bulls and other breeds of dogs that make pit bulls more dangerous,' he said."

In a November 2011, public health statistics published by Global Toronto showed that pit bull bites dropped dramatically after Ontario adopted the Dog Owners Liability Act in 2005, an act that banned pit bulls:

Salina, KS
Rose Base, director of the Salina Animal Shelter who lobbied for the ordinance, told the Salina Journal:
The ordinance has made a difference, she said. Records at the Salina Animal Shelter indicate there were 24 reported pit bull bites in 2003 and 2004, and only five since — none from 2009 to present.
Salina has 62 registered pit bulls, Base said. Before the ordinance she guessed there were "close to 300." Since the first of this year three of the registered pit bulls have died of old age.
"We definitely haven't had the severity of bites that we had in the past," Base said. "Our community has been somewhat safer because of the law that was passed
Prince George's County, MD
Prince George's County passed a pit bull ban in 1996. In August 2009, Rodney Taylor, associate director of the county's Animal Management Group, said that the number of pit bull biting incidents has fallen:
"Taylor said that during the first five to seven years of the ban, animal control officials would encounter an average of 1,200 pit bulls a year but that in recent years that figure has dropped by about half. According to county statistics, 36 pit bull bites, out of 619 total dog bites, were recorded in 2008, down from 95 pit bull bites, out of a total of 853, in 1996."
Salina KS (a second article)
Note that they admit that the pit bull ban did not reduce the number of bites, but it did reduce the severity of bites reported by all breeds. Proof that when pit bull deniers find a jurisdiction that banned pit bulls, but reported no decrease in overall bites, is a moot point. Its death and dismemberment we are focusing on, not bite counts.
In the monthly city newsletter, In Touch, published in September 2006, the City of Salina reported that the pit bull ban adopted in 2005 significantly reduced pit bull biting incidents in just a 12 month period.
The number of pit bull bites depicted in the "Salina Pit Bull Bites Reported" graph shows 2002 with 13 pit bull bites, 2003 with 11 pit bull bites, 2004 with 15 pit bull bites and 2005 with only one bite. The newsletter notes that "animal bites reported have remained constant, but the severity of bites have decreased dramatically" since the enactment of the pit bull ban.
Springfield, MO
In April 2008, the Springfield-Greene County Health Department released data to a local TV station – following the City of Springfield's adoption of a 2006 pit bull ban:
"The Springfield-Greene County Health Department reports that dog bites and vicious dog complaints are declining since the implementation of the Pit Bull Ordinance in the City of Springfield two years ago. In 2005 the health department fielded 18 vicious dog complaints, but only eight in 2007. Bites were down from 102 in 2005 to 87 in 2007."
In 2008, the City of Wapato passed an ordinance that bans new pit bulls, rottweilers and mastiffs. Nine months after its adoption, in March 2009, Wapato Police Chief Richard Sanchez reported successful results:
"Nine months into the ban and police calls about vicious dogs have been cut in half. The Wapato Police tell Action News they've gone from 18 reports in January, February and March of last year to seven so far in '09. "Seven calls in three months… that's nothing," says Chief Richard Sanchez, Wapato Police Department.
Chief Sanchez credits local cooperation for the decline of dangerous dogs."
Rhode Island
When the City of Woonsocket was debating a pit bull ordinance in June 2009, the animal control supervisor in Pawtucket, John Holmes, spoke about the enormous success of Pawtucket's 2003 pit bull ban:
"Holmes says he predicted that it would take two years for Pawtucket to experience the full benefit of the law after it was passed, but the results were actually apparent in half the time.
"It's working absolutely fantastic," said Holmes. "We have not had a pit bull maiming in the city since December of 2004."
Per section 8-55 of Denvers pit bull ban:
A pit bull, is defined as any dog that is an APBT, Am Staf Terrier, Staff Bull Terrier, or any dog displaying the majority of physical traits of anyone (1) or more of the above breeds, or any dog exhibiting those distinguishing characteristics which substantially conform to the standards set by the AKC or UKC for any of the above breed.
Over the course of 22 years, the Denver ban has withstood numerous battles in state and federal courts. It has been used as a model for over 600 USA cities that legislate pit bulls, as well as US Navy, Air Force, Marine and Army bases ( so much for Sgt Stubby).
without it, we'd see just what we see in Miss E's lame replies. Every pit owner would claim their land shark was anything but a pit bull.
Miami Dade county voted 66% to keep their pit bull ban, just as it is worded, last year

A pit bull BSL works EVERYWHERE it is useful in almost eliminating all serious dog attacks that maim, disfigure, dismember, maul, cripple.
or kill, this is a simply proven fact in all cases.The number of pit bulls is dramatically reduced as are the numbers of them put to death.
The need to have BSL is to have a preemptive capability to avoid a pit bull attack from happening due to it's extremely savage consequences.
It is enacted against all pit bulls as they all have the genetic DNA propensity to carry out these horrific attacks that are non existent in 99% of all other breeds, ban the breed and you ban the deed, simple as that.
Dealing with an attack after the fact is simply not acceptable due to the horrific nature of said attacks.
With any other breed other then Rottweiler's, wolf hybrids and Akita's and a few others in very small numbers it is not a naturally genetic reality for them to carry out such horrifying attacks.
Hence they need to be dealt with in an aggressive reactive modality where all of the breed are not looked on as one but rather based on the actions of the individual misbehaving dog.
This can be done in a very aggressive proactive manner so that as soon as a dog like a lab lets say starts behaving inappropriately severe consequences can be brought to bare on the owner and their dog in an escalating manner as needed to deal with a situation that has developed.
This duel track approach can deal with the pits issue as other normal dog breeds can be dealt with as well so vicious dogs of other mainstream breeds are also held accountable for their actions.
There should be mandatory Spay/Neuter programs for all breeds but clearly the one that needs it the most and where the most change would be effected would be with the Pit Bull type dog
Thomas McCartney
"The LA Times (and other advocates) are fond of mentioning that many pit bulls live without incident as gentle pets. These advocates ignore more compelling facts.
321 humans have been killed or disfigured by dogs during calendar year 2013; 316 of those attacks were by pit bulls.
16 of the attacks have caused human fatalities, 15 of those deaths were caused by pit bulls.***.
California leads the nation in fatal pit bull attacks with 25% of the nation's total.
To omit this essential information in an editorial opinion on pit bulls is tantamount to a lie of omission."
Pit Bulls Lead 'Bite' Counts Across U.S. Cities and Counties.
Dog Biting Incidents: 2008 to 2012
Animal control departments in at least 25 U.S. states report that pit bulls are biting more than all other dog breeds. These states include: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The oft-quoted myth by pro-pit bull groups that pit bulls "do not bite more than other breeds" is categorically false. In addition to leading bite counts, the pit bull bite is also the most damaging, inflicting permanent and disfiguring injury

About 31,400 dogs attacked about 61,500 other animals in the U.S. in 2013, killing 43,500 and seriously injuring 18,100.
The animals killed included about 12,000 dogs, 8,000 cats, 6,000 hooved animals, and 17,000 other small domestic animals, primarily poultry.
The seriously injured included about 12,400 dogs, 4,000 cats, and 1,700 hooved animals. Few small mammals and poultry survived reported dog attacks.
Pit bulls inflicted 99% of the total fatal attacks on other animals (43,000); 96% of the fatal attacks on other dogs (11,520); 95% of the fatal attacks on livestock (5,700) and on small mammals and poultry (16,150); and 94% of the fatal attacks on cats (11,280).
About 30,000 pit bulls were involved in attacks on other animals, many of them killing multiple other animals.
There are about 3.2 million pit bulls in the U.S. at any given time, according to the annual ANIMAL PEOPLE surveys of dogs offered for sale or adoption via online classified ads.
Thus in 2013 about one pit bull in 107 killed or seriously injured another animal, compared with about one dog in 50,000 of other breeds.
Complete details of the year-long epidemiological survey that produced these estimates will appear in the January/February edition of ANIMAL PEOPLE.

I have 3 pits and a rott. My dogs are all wonderful pets!! They adore my 3 children and are raised with 4 indoor cats!!! Trust them with my life. They sleep with my kids…so sick of the stereotyping of "bully breeds"..

Only a stupid Owner of dogs would own a pit bull in the first place.But even if the owner is not an idiot the pit bull is still a time bomb waiting to go off at any time for no reason, a land shark that no matter the training will express It's DNA and rip some unsuspecting kids face off, that is just what they are and what they do.
I am sick of hearing this blame the owner not the dog mantra, a.
ll that does is get the dog off the hook so it can do no wrong and is never held accountable or stopped from doing again what it has criminally already done
Nothing is ever done to the owner and in with this mantra the dog is untouchable so both get off scott free when it has attacked someone.
Pit Bull's are naturally breed killers and have no place in a city or where they can interact with humans period.
The best solution to this is what happened in Powell River where a tan pit bull was drowned, most likely after it attacked someone.
The only good Pit bull is a dead one.

Ottumwa, Iowa
Population 24,998
In July 2010, Police Chief Jim Clark said there had been no recorded pit bull attacks since the city's 2003 pit bull ban. Between 1989 and 2003, the city had a pit bull ordinance, but still allowed pit bulls as "guard" dogs.
"Police Chief Jim Clark says since the ban, there have been no recorded attacks by the animals.
"We haven't had any attacks since then for one thing because it is illegal," said Clark. "Most people are keeping their dogs inside their house or inside their basement and not letting them out loose so therefore they're not around other people to attack them."
"In the two-and-a-half years before the 2003 ban, Ottumwa police recorded 18 pit bull attacks, including the death of 21-month-old Charlee Shepherd in August 2002. There were at least three other attacks on children during this time."
Little Rock, Arkansas
Population 189,515
When the City of Indianapolis was discussing a pit bull sterilization law in April 2009, Little Rock Animal Services Director Tracy Roark spoke about Little Rock's successful 2008 pit bull ordinance:
"There was a day when you could walk down any street in center city Little Rock, you could see several pit bulls chained up. You don't see that anymore," said Tracy Roark with Little Rock Animal Services.
Roark told Eyewitness News over the phone that pit bull attacks have been cut in half and credits their new law with getting them there.
"This is the most abused dog in the city," said Roark.
The Little Rock law passed last year and requires pit bulls to be sterilized, registered and microchipped. Also dogs – regardless of the breed – are also not allowed to be chained up outside."
Fort Lupton, Colorado
Population 6,787
When the City of Fort Collins was mulling a pit bull law in March 2009, Fort Lupton's Police Chief spoke about Fort Lupton's successful 2003 pit bull ban, including zero pit bull biting incidents since the law's adoption:
"Fort Lupton Police Chief Ron Grannis said the city hasn't had a pit bull bite since the ban was enacted, but it still has the occasional pit bull that is picked up and taken away.
Although he said the ban has not been well-received by every resident, he thinks it was the right decision for the city.
"I believe it makes the community safer," he said. "That's my personal opinion. Pit bulls are not the kind of dogs most people should have. They are too unpredictable. … These dogs have been bred for thousands of years to be fighters.
You can't take it out of them. A lion cub may be friendly for a while, but one day it can take your head off."
Reading, Pennsylvania
Population 80,560
After an 8-year legal battle, pit bull advocates dismantled a pit bull law adopted by Reading in 1998. It was reported in the same news article, in February 2008, that the law had significantly reduced biting incidents:
"Reading's 1998 law required that aggressive or dangerous dogs, when outside the home, be muzzled and kept on a leash shorter than three feet long with a minimum tensile strength of 300 pounds.
The law also punished violators with fines of up to $1,000 or 30 days in jail.
The law is credited with helping to reduce dog bites from 130 in 1999 to 33 in 2006. As a result, the law – or at least elements of it – were not being actively enforced, the Reading Eagle reported last year.

Aurora, Colorado
Population 339,030
Also in March, Aurora released statistical data showing a significant reduction in the volume of pit bull attacks and pit bulls euthanized after adopting a pit bull ban in 2005.
"Since the ban has been in place, bites are down 73 percent from pit bulls," said Cheryl Conway, a spokeswoman for the city's animal care division.
She described various problems the city encountered before enacting the ban in 2005 that included irresponsible owners letting the dogs run at large, and owners using pit bulls to taunt pedestrians.
She added that the dogs placed a tremendous burden on city staff. According to city documents, before the ordinance was enacted in 2005, up to 70 percent of kennels in the Aurora Animal Shelter were occupied by pit bulls with pending court disposition dates or with no known owner. That number is now only 10 to 20 percent of kennels.
"There hasn't been a human mauling in many years. Complaints and requests related to pit bulls are down 50 percent. Euthanasia of pit bull dogs is down 93 percent. Of those few that are put down, they are primarily those that come in as strays and their owners don't come to claim them," she said.
Omaha, Nebraska
Population 415,068
After the City of Omaha adopted a pit bull law in 2008, Mark Langan of the Nebraska Humane Society, who opposed the law, said in September 2009 that pit bull biting incidents were down 35% since its adoption:
"Despite the attack of Haynes, The Humane Society's Mark Langan says pitbull bites are down since new laws went into effect last year. Langan says so far this year 54 bites have been reported compared to 83 last year."
In September 2010, the Nebraska Humane Society provided bite statistical data to city council members and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the pit bull ordinance adopted by the City of Omaha in late 2008.
"It is the position of the Nebraska Human Society that this ordinance has been effective in reducing bites involving dogs defined as "Pit Bulls" in the ordinance."
Judy Varner, President and CEO, Nebraska Human Society
Varner's attached statistical data shows that bites by pit bulls dropped 40% after one year of the adoption of the ordinance, 121 bites in 2008 down to 73 bites in 2009. The bite rate dropped even further in 2010.
2008 Pit Bull Bites: 121 Total
2009 Pit Bull Bites: 73 Total
2010 Pit Bull Bites (through August): 28 Total
In January 2013, the Nebraska Humane Society reported that pit bull bites dropped to 31 in 2012, down from 121 in 2008 (a 74% reduction), the year that Omaha enacted a progressive pit bull ordinance.
2008 Pit Bull Bites Total: 121 (pre-breed specific ordinance)
Level 2: 52; Level 3: 58, Level 4: 8; Level 5: 3 (69 were Level 3-5 attacks)
2009 Pit Bull Bites Total: 73
Level 2: 49; Level 3: 17; Level 4: 4; Level 5: 3 (24 were Level 3-5 attacks)
2010 (through August) Pit Bull Bites Total: 28
Level 2: 19; Level 3: 6; Level 4: 2; Level 5: 1 (9 were Level 3-5 attacks)

Saginaw, Michigan
Population 51,230
In November 2012, Saginaw reported a reduction in dog attacks eighteen months after enacting a "Light" BSL ordinance1 requiring owners of the top 5 dangerous dog breeds2 to comply with new regulations.
Eighteen months after Saginaw created its dangerous dog ordinance, put into effect in June 2011, Saginaw City Chief Inspector John Stemple said it has helped to lower the amount of dog attacks in the city.
"It was the government reacting to a problem," Stemple said. "And if you look at the numbers, it's been very effective."
The ordinance requires residents to register dogs whose breeds are deemed "dangerous" at the City Clerk's office, post a "Dog on premises" sign in the front of their homes and when outdoors, keep their animals either on a leash or within a 4-foot-high fenced area or kennel.
The breeds included in the ordinance are pit bulls, presa canario, bull mastiffs, rottweilers and German shepherds.
Stemple said he has heard from employees at Consumers Energy and the U.S. Postal Service that the signs and tethering rules have made their work safer. The number of reported dog bites fell in 2011 to nine, from 24 in 2009.
Darrin Stephens
MARK WULKAN, MD, surgeon at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
"There is a difference with the pit bulls. In the last two years we've seen 56 dog injuries that were so severe the patient had to be admitted to the hospital so this doesn't count just a little bite and then goes to the emergency room. Of those 56, 21 were pit bulls. And then when we look at our data even further, of the kids that were most severely injured, those that were in the hospital for more than 8 days or had life threatening injuries, 100% of those were pit bulls.
STEPHEN COHN, MD, professor of surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center
"I think this is a public health hazard, this particular dog. We just have to have them contained in a way that protects the general public. I don't want to see another kid come in dead."
JOHN BINI, MD, chief of surgery at Wilford Hall Medical Center
"There are going to be outspoken opponents of breed legislation, who say: 'My pit bulls lie with my baby and play with my rabbit.' And that's fine. I just think we're seeing something here, and I think it does warrant a discussion as to whether this is a risk that a community wants to take."
MORTALITY, MAULING, AND MAIMING BY VICIOUS DOGS, April 2011 Annals of Surgery
"Fortunately, fatal dog attacks are rare, but there seems to be a distinct relationship between the severity and lethality of an attack and the breed responsible," they wrote in an article published in the April issue of the medical journal Annals of Surgery. "These breeds should be regulated in the same way in which other dangerous species, such as leopards, are regulated."
DAVID E. BLOCKER, BS, MD, Dog Bite Rates and Biting Dog Breeds in Texas, 1995-1997
Bite Rates by Breed page 23
One out of every 40 Pit Bulls (2.5%) and about one out of 75 Chow Chows (1.4%) generated a reported human bite each year (Table 29; Figure 7).
One out of 100 Rottweilers (1%) caused a reported bite, and less than one out of 250 German Shepherds (0.37%) bit a human each year, not statistically different from the average for all dogs combined (0.53%).
Huskies, Dobermans, and Australian Shepherds had bite rates slightly lower than German Shepherds but higher than Labrador Retrievers.
Less than one in every 500 Labrador retrievers (0.15%) was associated with a reported bite each year. All other breeds examined individually, including Poodles, Cocker Spaniels, and Dachshunds, had bite rates lower than Labrador Retrievers.
Odds ratios for each of the five most commonly biting dog breeds versus all others presented similar findings (Table 30). The odds of a Pit Bull in Bexar County causing a bite were 5 times greater than the odds for all other breeds combined, at 4.9 to 1.
Chow Chows and Rottweilers also had odds ratios significantly greater than the average, at 2.9 to 1 and 1.8 to 1, respectively. The odds ratios for German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers were significantly lower than the average, at 0.67 to 1 and
0.26 to 1.
PETER ANTEVY, pediatric E.R. physician, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital
Dr Antvey sees at least five dog-bite victims a month in his emergency room. Unfortunately, he said, "the biggest offender is the pit bull."
The reality is that any dog can bite, and statistically speaking, a child is most likely to be bitten by the family dog or a dog that they know. When you're talking about bite severity resulting in life-threatening and even fatal injuries, pit bulls and Rottweilers are the main culprits.
Experience absolutely colors our perception, and in this case I can't help but be affected by what I've seen. I will never forget a young child I treated in the ER during my pediatric residency. She suffered severe facial lacerations and tears to her face after a pit bull attack in her local park.

I purchased this chandelier for our entry way and it looks stunning! We recently remodeled and have a barrel ceiling in the entry, so not a lot of room. We wanted something with bling but with bronze metal, not chrome..this is the perfect one! It 's not too large, has clean lines so not too showy, but with the lights on the crystals really sparkle! It is really pretty! The only downfall is putting it together, so as many said plan on about 4 hours for 1 person to put all of the crystals on. Also, when its shipped to you the lower part of the light is mounted inside the larger and upside down, so don't miss taking is out and put the crystals on the right way! Or you will be redoing the lower portion, like I did (not too smart, I know!) It's a great buy and worth the time to put it together!
This is a gorgeous light. the bronze is very dark almost black. The way the light reflects off of crystals makes shadows on the wall. If you use 8 60w bulbs, it will blind you when you turn it on. We needed to purchase a dimmer. It would be great hung high, not at eye level. All of these things make it special, that being said, we did not expect that in our dining room. I would love it for a different area of the house but we are looking for a new dining room light and will put this in our bedroom when the time comes. It is gorgeous though, for the price and unique.
It took me a long time to decide which chandelier to buy for our foyer. It is a decent size foyer and I was concerned that the chandelier might be too small. But I loved the design so much that I went and ordered it and am so happy with the purchase. It definitely sparkles a lot and creates a cool pattern on the walls. Absolutely love it! For all those people who are bit concerned about the size�the chandelier definitely looks bigger than the description on the site, it is simply amazing! And yes mine also came with crystals attached so did not have to worry about it.
very nice for the price. you do get what you pay for so it is a little inexpensive looking when you get really close up but for the money, I'd say it's worth what I paid for it. I would recommend it to a friend if they wanted something inexpensive but nice. looks high end from a distance!
Bought this for my two story entrace way to match the 4 light version of this chandelier I put in my dining room. Fills up the entrance way with brilliant light on both levels. Had this installed professionally because of the location and had two small problems. Needed to extend the length of the chain and wire which we were able to do since I had bought the 4 light one and had extra chain. The other problem was balancing the top with the bottom. No matter what adjustments he made, it seems just a hair off. As one other reviewed suggested, I bought round bulbs for this one because you can see the fixture from all angles. It was worth the few extra dollars. Very pleased with this purchase, it is stunning.
I saw this light and for the price decided to give it a try. Shipped to my house so fast, took it out of the box and hubby had it hung within an hour. Some folks said they had to put the crystals on the lamp, but mine came fully assembled. Very easy to install and it looks amazing in my entry.
We just added on to our house and our friends have all been walking through and everyone stops and talks about this chandelier. It is by far the favorite part of our addition for everyone. The best part is how beautiful the crystals sparkle when the light is on.
I looked at bedroom chandeliers for a really long time. We bought a pair of these - the small one and the bigger one - because of the reasonable price and the modern style. Both lights exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.
Great light! I love how it shimmers and mine did come with the crystals in place.
If you like a lot of sparkle this is for you. I used decorative clear 40 watt bulbs and it looks very nice when lamp is off, stunning when lit. At night with the dimmer turned down it is still awesome and the crystals really do sparkle. Wish the brown color was lighter [it is a little dark] but it is true to the photo.

Vince Young's financial situation is the subject of a legal battle. Young has asserted his financial advisor, Ronald Peoples, secured a seven-figure loan during the NFL lockout that the ex-NFL qb claims wasn't authorized by him. Peoples claimed in a deposition that Vince Young wanted to throw himself a birthday party that would cost $300,000 so he reached out to Pro Player Funding LLC about the loan.
"I think we still would have been OK to go ahead and survive until the next season, but he had a birthday event coming up that he paid 300 and some thousand dollars for," Peoples testified. "That's what prompted that call."
Vince Young's representatives have denied this claim. The loan was secured the day before Young's 28th birthday. People's also said that Young's monthly expenses would sometimes run as high as $200,000 per month.
"It's almost like I can have a $30,000 budget that I know we had to pay here, but then, you know, I get an invoice for a Ferrari that he just bought for $176,000, and they want their money," he testified.
And he thinks an NFL team will take him seriously? Go to. Canada,if you can clear customs. Stupidity is one thing we can't teach.
Seriously Vince Young? This is why you can't give people money for playing a game. It's quite apparent Mr. Young isn't the sensation he thought he was because where is he now? Throwing yourself a $300,000 birthday party? Ignorant POS is all he is. It's okay, he'll be in the paper one day for something more serious with a jail term attached to it. Stupid, stupid, stupid...
this has to be among the most ridiculous behaviors ever perpetuated by a human being. I hope it is not true, but if it is, shame on the entire Vince Young management team.
The reason he didn't make it in the NFL....he would not study the play book or film.There was a big question from NFL scouts about his ability to read and overall IQ Now you know why! He's just stupid and that's a tough one to fix.
Ignorant! Simply put, just ignorant. No other way to slice it.
What IS it with this guy? He's blown through millions of dollars, if memory serves me he either filed or was about to file for bankruptcy, can't find a team that will put up with him, has been a huge bust in the NFL, and now he pulls this? A hint, Vince--when you're closing in on broke, you have a quiet b'day bash at home with your family and a few close friends, you don't throw a $300K ego bash and show off your new Ferrari. I give him another five years before he's either on the streets or living in a friend's basement...or in jail. He's a bigger waste of potential than Ricky Williams, and that takes work. If only he worked that hard on his game.

and development outcomes will demand of NSF a broader than usual understanding of the scope of its mission relating to innovation.
The committee recommends that NSF embrace the House Appropriations Committee's challenge as an opportunity to explore a new mode of research and innovation support that may prove valuable for the country as well as for the agency. It is by no means clear that the founders of NSF more than a half century ago appreciated fully the range of mechanisms that NSF could productively employ in mobilizing the nation's scientific and technical talent in the exploitation of the "endless frontier" of science. Experimentation with an inducement prize program, like all good research, will yield both anticipated and unanticipated outcomes, some positive and some not so positive. It is with this perspective in mind that the committee offers in the remainder of this report a set of observations and recommendations on the establishment and operation of an NSF innovation inducement prize program that, at least at the outset, will be experimental.

EU suspends sanctions on Myanmar
European Union nations have rewarded Myanmar for its "remarkable" reforms by suspending most sanctions, a move opening the way to a potential trade and investment bonanza for Europe.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg on Monday approved a one-year suspension of sanctions against almost 500 individuals and more than 800 firms, but keep an arms embargo in place.
"The situation in the Myanmar is "looking much better" after the "remarkable progress" culminating in opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's election to parliament on April 1," a senior EU diplomat who asked not to be identified, said.
But a decision to suspend rather than remove restrictive measures aims to "send a signal that we are continuing to watch", he added.
"It is not set in stone that this [reform] trajectory will continue".
In a first sign of discord, Suu Kyi's party announced on Sunday it would postpone its parliamentary debut in a dispute over the swearing-in oath.

It did get overused, so now it's a Discredited Trope. You're as likely as not to see it thrown in a sentence just to be funny, even though there is no other reason to emphasize a point this way. Bitch. Since talking this way is inherently humorous, actual dramatic scenes are more likely to use "son of a bitch" (if the target is male) or some other insult (if the target is female) instead.

Data Type Indicator (indicators field: A field containing a graphical indicator that provides information about the state of an assignment, resource, or task. For example, a check mark indicator shows that a task is completed.)
Entry Type Calculated (calculated field: A field in which the value is determined by Project based on information in other fields. Project may recalculate the value automatically or when you specify, depending on your choice of calculation settings.)
Description The Status Indicator field displays an icon which represents the current status of a task. There are indicators to specify that a task is Complete, On Schedule, Late, or a Future Task.
How Calculated Project bases the content of the Status Indicator field on the results in the Status field.
If the task is complete, then the Status Indicator contains a check mark.
If the task will occur in the future, the Status Indicator field is blank.
If the task is on schedule, the Status Indicator contains a clock with a check mark.
If the task is late, the Status Indicator contains a clock with an exclamation point.
Best Uses Add the Status Indicator field to a task view when you want to get a quick visual on task status. Use the Status Indicator field in conjunction with the Status field if you want to group, filter, or sort by task status.
Example There are 100 tasks in your project, and you want to get a quick overview of task status to see where you should focus your tracking efforts. You add the Status Indicator field to the Gantt Chart view. By examining the indicators, you see that 25 tasks are completed, 50 tasks are still in the future, 20 tasks are currently on time, and 5 tasks are late. You follow up on the late tasks so you can get more information from the assigned resources.

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.
Opening a Turkish restaurant in the heart of Brooklyn"s Chinatown might not seem like the most brilliant business plan, but owner Hasan Ustun hopes to appeal to Turkish families who come to the mosque next door (and, of course, to other fans of Turkish cuisine as well). He brought in a trio of highly specialized Turkish chefs: a grill chef to prepare meats and kebabs, a pizza chef to bake flatbread pizzas like Iahmajun (a spicy mini-pizza topped with ground lamb), and a chef to handle soups and main courses like manti,{/I} delicately folded beef dumplings served with yogurt sauce.

J. J. Cale Magnolia Lyrics
Last updated: 08/22/2013 06:11:57 AM
Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You whisper "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
J.J. Cale The Best Show I Never Saw | Reviewer: Robert | 8/22/13
In 1989 J.J. performed in Dayton, OH at this little dive named Canal Street Tavern. I convinced my sister and her husband to go.
My friend Gary Simpson also came. Before the concert started Gary went outside passed out hitting his head on the bumper of a parked car. He broke his jaw and lost several teeth. While I should have been at the concert I was at Miami Valley Hospital.
My sister and her husband, who before that night, had never heard of J.J. Cale needless to say they were blown away.
I still have the ticket stub that J.J. signed and wrote "sorry you missed the show."
J.J. My favorite all time music artist. | Reviewer: Bobby Carolan | 8/13/12
Almost certainly the most underrated and unappreciated artist of our generation. If I had to throw out all 2,000+ albums I own but one, J.J.'s "Naturally" would be the one I would cling to!
JJC | Reviewer: Jim Ragsdale | 2/18/11
I first saw JJ Cale in 1974 at the University of Kentucky and was sold from the first note. He doesn't know me, never hear of me, and probably never will, but four kids and 34 some odd years later, he's still the best.
Magnolia - A Beautiful Song... | Reviewer: Virginia McKean | 1/19/08
Magnolia is a very special and beautiful song to me because it brings back some wonderful memories of a very special person in my life and our times in New Orleans some years ago.
Magnolia is performed beautifully by JJ Cale - so sultry, smooth, sexy and southern!!

Gill keeps his wit about him during the tribute. For instance, he tells about going out for football and having the coach ask him if can pass the ball. "I said, 'Sir, I don't even think I can swallow it,' " Gill recalls.

People said that Defrag 2007 was the conference of the year. That's why I hoped to have a reason to go to Defrag 2008. Luckily I got a good excuse when I was invited to participate at one of the panels (Finding serendipitous content through context).
I flew in last night just early enough to catch the pre-conference dinner. Already there it became obvious this is really going to be great three days in Denver, Colorado. We had some great conversations around email, IM and social network mining with guys from SocialCast, Mailana and others.
I am just sitting through the first keynote by enthusiastic William Duggan about Strategic intuition. Talking about new combinations of existing elements to create breakthroughs and how brainstorming sessions don't really work since we need "presence of mind" to get the insight.
And we got his book as part of the schwag for participants! Looking forward to other pleasant surprises at Defrag conf 2008. Next is Paul Kedrosky moderating a panel about information overload.
Oh and at breakfast I already met two of Zemanta very early (and dear) users: Zoli Erdos and Tac Anderson. This is a bit overwhelming, maybe I should start live blogging this.

text: Boomtown 2: Corporations Profit Off $75 Billion Food Stamp Industry Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 6 Apr 2013 post a comment On Fox News' Hannity on Friday, Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon exposed how politicians and corporations have used the country's food stamps program, which is meant to temporarily supplement the nutrition of Americans facing hard times, as a profitable jobs program. In "Boomtown 2: The Business of Food Stamps," Schweizer said a program that was supposed to be a "safety net" has "become an insider game of power and profit" where corporations try to get a slice of the $75 billion taxpayer-funded pie. In addition, as host Sean Hannity noted, nearly 20% of Americans are on either food stamps or disability payments, which means they are depending on the government for all of their "sustenance." The GAI president said the tentacles of the food stamps industry "extend to Wall Street and Madison Avenue." He claimed as the food stamps budget increases, many of the nation's top companies see their market shares increase as they try to get their share of the $75 billion the government spends a year on food stamps. Schweizer said food stamps were intended for basic foods like cheese, meat, and eggs, but have grown to include soft drinks and fast food as the program continued to expand as a result of lobbying from the food industry. He also noted that when food stamps were turned into EBT cards in 2002, it became easier for Americans to commit even more fraud, which gave the government and the corporations that profited from EBT transactions absolutely no incentive to reform the system or take steps to limit the fraud. According to Schweizer, J.P. Morgan, which administers many of the EBT cards, has no incentive to limit the number of transactions on their cards when they get a cut from the transactions. Schweizer noted that corporations like Coca Cola and Kraft Foods have "lobbied against laws" that would make sodas ineligible to be purchased with food stamps. He said "a nutrition program designed to provide supplemental nutrition to people having a hard time making ends meet" has turned into a economic stimulus and jobs program that politicians are continually trying to expand even more with no resistance from those in the lobbying and corporate world that profit from the expansion. After a dismal March jobs report that saw 663,000 Americans completely leave the job force, which lowered the labor force participation rate to its lowest level since 1979, the topics discussed became more paramount as more Americans are likely to be recipients of food stamps in the down economy. The Government Accountability Institute, "a nonpartisan government investigative group devoted to exposing government corruption and cronyism involving taxpayer dollars," teamed up with Bannon for the highly-rated and acclaimed ""Boomtown 1: Washington, The Imperial City." That special "exposed the cronyism and luxurious lifestyle of Washington, DC's power elite"; Boomtown 2 similarly exposed how the same interests take advantage of the food stamp program to use "the poor and the taxpayers," like the workers who gave up looking for work in March, as pawns to enrich themselves. Bannon noted how there is no incentive in the current system for any of the players to limit or reduce fraud, because doing so would see their own profits would decrease. He also said Americans are becoming less self-reliant as the government, with clever advertising pitches, tries to get even more people--even those who are resistant--on the program. "This is a $75 billion industry that is metastasizing," Bannon said, noting that the spending on food stamps has doubled in the last four years. He said "tough measures" have to be taken in an "age of austerity." The "Boomtown 2" special is intended to start the dialogue about what some of those measures need to be as the country faces a threatening debt crisis. Bannon's and Schweizer's past projects, which always put taxpayers outside of the Washington beltway first, have led to institutional reforms--like the banning of insider trading by members of Congress. As Breitbart News noted, three of Bannon's past films--Generation Zero, District of Corruption, and The Hope and The Change--have also previously been the subject of highly rated one-hour Hannity specials.

Diaz, 17, Madison Dibble, 16, Natasha Rogen, 17 and Megan Turner, 17, were selected earlier this month to represent Corpus Christi in France, Taiwan and Japan.
Each girl wrote an essay, completed community service projects and went through an interview before being selected by the Sister City Committee.
Diaz and Turner will spend three weeks in Agen, France. Rogen will spend two weeks in Keelung, Taiwan, and Dibble will spend two weeks in Yokosuka, Japan.
The girls have all traveled outside the U.S. before for vacation, they said.
When they return, a student from the host family will live with them for a few weeks in Corpus Christi.
The program started in 1962 and is danger of ending next year due to budget cuts, said Alan Thornburg, a member of the selection committee and the liaison to Taiwan.
"Previous students in the program did not have to pay for any of the costs. But this group will have to pay for half of their airfare," Thornburg said. "After our budget was cut to zero, we could only afford to send three students. An anonymous donor gave us money so that a fourth student could go this year."
Thornburg said with the students paying for their half of the plane ticket, the committee has enough money leftover for three students to be sent next year.
"We like seeing that this program makes a difference in student's lives," Thornburg said. "But we need to find new sources of revenue if we want to continue the program beyond next year."
