Kaley Cuoco Responds to Anti-Pit Bull Article: They're The Greatest Dogs in The World!by Tyler Johnson at . Updated at . Comments
Before Kaley Cuoco married Ryan Sweeting, the actress says she warned her husband-to-be that she has several other loves in her life: her three rescue pit bulls.
Her affection for her dogs led Kaley to respond on Twitter yesterday to a Time magazine article detailing the scars and and injuries suffered by a 3-year-old girl following a horrific pit bull attack:
"Many of u asked if I read the Time magazine article about 'killer pit bulls,'" Cuoco tweeted. "I just did. I have to take a Twitter break. I can't stomach this anymore."
The Time article stemmed from an incident in Jackson, MS, in which a woman was asked to escort her granddaughter from a KFC restaurant, as the young girl's facial scarring and eye patch were bothering the other patrons.
The article cited some alarming statistics about the breed, including the facts that pit bulls account for 68 percent of all dog attacks and 52 percent of all dog-related deaths.
Kaley has yet to refute the specific claims made by Time, but speaking about pit bulls during a recent appearance on Ellen, Cuoco remarked, "I love them. They're the greatest dogs in the world."
Kaley spoke about her desire to have children recently, but has not stated whether she plans to continue to raise pit bulls in her home once she has a baby.

http://nationalcanineresearchc... 1. WHAT IS BREED-SPECIFIC LEGISLATION?
8. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE DOG BITE-RELATED INCIDENTS IN A COMMUNITY? Q: What is breed-specific legislation? Breed-specific legislation (BSL), also referred to as breed-discriminatory legislation (BDL), is a law or ordinance that prohibits or restricts the keeping of dogs of specific breeds, and/or dogs presumed to be mixes of one or more of those breeds. The most drastic form of BSL is a complete ban; but BSL also includes any laws or governmental regulations that impose separate requirements or limitations, including but not limited to: mandatory spay-neuter, mandatory muzzling, special liability insurance requirements, special licensing, property posting requirements, confinement requirements, breed-specific pet limits, sale or transfer notification requirements, and prohibitions in government and military housing. BSL, in all of its forms, results in the destruction of many pet dogs. Q: What breeds of dogs have been targeted by BSL? Various breeds have been or currently are targeted by BSL. Until the law was repealed in 2009, Italy regulated the keeping of 17 breeds. In the United States, jurisdictions have either banned or put discriminatory restrictions on one or all of the following: American Bulldog, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Chihuahua, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Dogo Argentina, German Shepherd Dog, Miniature Bull Terrier, "Pit bull" (please note that "pit bull" is not a breed of dog), Presa Canario, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, and wolf-hybrids. These ordinances also target dogs suspected of being mixes of one or more of the named breeds. Q. What position do the leading animal-related organizations take on BSL? All of the following national organizations oppose BSL: American Animal Hospital Association, American Dog Owner's Association, American Humane Association, American Kennel Club, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, American Veterinary Medical Association, Association of Pet Dog Trainers, Best Friends Animal Society, Canadian Kennel Club, Humane Society of the United States, International Association of Canine Professionals, National Animal Control Association, National Animal Interest Alliance, and National Association of Obedience Instructors. In addition, many state and local-level veterinary medical associations and humane organizations oppose BSL. Q. Aren't certain breeds of dogs more likely to injure or bite than others? No. There is no scientific evidence that one kind of dog is more likely than any other to injure a human being.[1] In fact, there is evidence to the contrary.[2] A recent survey of the controlled study of dog bites covering 40 years and two continents concluded that no group of dogs should be considered disproportionately dangerous.[3] Q. Does BSL reduce dog bites?
No. BSL has not succeeded in reducing dog bite-related injuries wherever in the world it has been enacted. • An analysis published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association explains why BSL does not reduce serious dog bites. The authors calculated the absurdly large numbers of dogs of targeted breeds who would have to be completely removed from a community in order to prevent even one serious dog bite-related injury. For example, in order to prevent a single hospitalization resulting from a dog bite, the authors calculate that a city or town would have to remove more than 100,000 dogs of a targeted group. To prevent a second hospitalization, double that number.[4]
• Denver, CO enacted a breed ban in 1989. Citizens of Denver continue to suffer a higher rate of hospitalization from dog bite-related injuries after the ban, than the citizens of breed-neutral Colorado counties.[5]
• A study published in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior (2007), compared medically treated dog bites in Aragon, Spain for 5 years prior to and following enactment of Spain's "Law on the legal treatment of the possession of dangerous animals" (sometimes referred to Spain's Dangerous Animal Act) (2000). The results showed no significant effect in dog bite incidences when comparing before and after enactment of the BSL.[6] • The Netherlands repealed a 15-year-old breed ban in 2008 after commissioning a study of its effectiveness. The study revealed that BSL was not a successful dog-bite mitigation strategy because it had not resulted in a decrease in dog bites. [7]
• The Province of Ontario in Canada enacted a breed ban in 2005. In 2010, based on a survey of municipalities across the Province, the Toronto Humane Society reported that, despite five years of BSL and the destruction of "countless" dogs, there had been no significant decrease in the number of dog bites.[8]
• Winnipeg, Manitoba enacted a breed ban in 1990. Winnipeg's rate of dog bite-injury hospitalizations is virtually unchanged from that day to this, and remains significantly higher than the rate in breed-neutral, responsible pet ownership Calgary.[9] Q. How costly is it to implement and enforce BSL? BSL is very costly, penalizes responsible pet owners, diverts resources, and is open to challenge. • Use the Best Friends Fiscal Impact Calculator: http://bestfriends.guerrillaec... to calculate an estimate of the additional expenses for your community (and you as a taxpayer) that will result from BSL: costs for enforcement, kenneling, euthanasia and litigation, among others. • Miami-Dade County banned "pit bulls" in 1989. The ban did not reduce dog bites, but has generated litigation costs. Hearing officer proceedings, as well as a circuit court case, have questioned the enforceability of the law. • The Department of Justice guidelines for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) state that it is contrary to the Act to deny a disabled person equal access to public facilities based upon the presumed breed of their service dog. This has exposed municipalities with BSL to litigation costs when they have attempted to deny such access based the presumed breed of a person's service dog.
Q: What is the trend in BSL?
There is a growing awareness that BSL does not improve community safety and penalizes responsible dog owners and their family companions. Both the Netherlands and Italy have repealed their BSL in recent years. From January 2012-May 2014, more than seven times as many American communities have either considered and rejected a breed- specific ordinance, or repealed an existing one, as have enacted BSL.[10] Massachusetts, Nevada, Connecticut, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Utah have recently enacted state laws that prohibit their towns and counties from regulating dogs on the basis of breed. Eighteen states now prohibit BSL. The Obama Administration has announced its opposition to BSL, stating that "research shows that bans on certain types of dogs are largely ineffective and often a waste of public resources."[11]
Q. What is the best way to reduce dog bite-related incidents in a community? Dogs cannot be characterized apart from people. At the heart of any public safety issue involving dogs is the need for responsible pet ownership. Effective laws hold dog owners responsible for the humane care, custody, and control of all dogs regardless of breed or type. Humane communities are safer communities. Updated 17 March 2014.

I , my husband and two golden retrievers, are some of those who have been attacked by pit bulls. A pit bull ran three blocks to get us while we walked our dogs on leashes. These dogs need to be outlawed. I will never get over the attack. It is not "if" then attack, it is "when."

Michal Nelson, 41 years old Valencia County, New Mexico ** (1 non-pit type killing) [Rachel Honabarger - 35 yrs old - mauled to death by her own GSD mix] Coshocton, OH. (1 husky-mix killing, unknown if the other half of the dog was pit bull) [Jordan Lee Reed – 5 yrs old] Kotzebue, AK (1 Shiba Inu killing) Mia Gibson - age 3 months, of Gibson, OH - mauled to death by family Shiba Inu. Three of the pit bull type dogs were BULL mastiffs, ie 40% pit-fighting bulldog. If 27 of 33 dead were killed by pit bull attack, that's 82% dead by pit attack, 9% dead by 'molosser', 3% by some kind of GSD mix, 3% by a husky + possibly pit mix, 3% by Shiba Inu. If you count the pit-mix mastiffs as pit bull types, that's 91% killed by attacking pit bull types. Pit types are only about 6% of the entire dog population. The man who ran into traffic kept pit bulls himself. He knew perfectly well what the two stranger pit bulls that were chasing him would do if they caught him, so he preferred to risk a swift death by oncoming car. 534 maimed by pit type dogs 2013 (as of November.28).

A mastiff is not a pit bull. The pit bull is a terrier. It can be a small thirty pound dog up to a large 100 pound dog. The mastiff is the largest breed in the world. Some have gotten to nearly 300 pounds. Any dog over 100 pounds could easily kill a small child simply by rough play, not an attack. That is what probably happened in the case of toddlers and infants who died as a result of a "dog attack". Notice almost all the child attacks were of children under five. A dog might not recognize a child crawling as a person, but as another animal. This could cause protecting their territory behavior in the dog. Pit bulls are good dogs, just as semi auto hand guns, are good guns. Neither is good with children however. People are stupid! All the bans in the world won't change that. Forty children died last year from being left in hot cars. Hundreds are run over in their driveways, when a parent backs the car up over them. Back up cameras will be required in cars as a result. I had a 80 pound pit bull very sweet dog, but I would have never allowed him to be with small child without my hand on his collar the whole time. He liked to jump up on people, it wasn't aggressive, but it would easily knock over a small person, and injure a child. The fourth of July is in a few days. Children will be injured by the hundreds by fireworks, but we will have them again next year. Some people will also die in fires, caused by these fireworks. The dog on Our Gang was a pit bull, as was several other dogs on TV and movies. They are cute, fun and very loyal. They are also strong, protective, and sometimes deadly, but people love them. They are also one of the most popular dogs, and because they are mixed in with other breeds, even more so. Their numbers alone make the likely hood of being involved statistically more likely. Blame the owner, breeder, or parent who lets child around dog owned by someone else, but not the entire breed.

Merritt Clifton Editor Of Animals24-7: I have logged fatal & disfiguring dog attacks in the U.S. and Canada since September 1982. Overall, of the 4,812 dogs involved in fatal and disfiguring attacks on humans since September 1982, 3,279 (68%) were pit bulls; 551 were Rottweilers; 4,109 (85%) were of related molosser breeds, including pit bulls, Rottweilers, mastiffs, bull mastiffs, boxers, and their mixes. Of the 558 human fatalities, 294 were killed by pit bulls; 87 were killed by Rottweilers; 422 (75%) were killed by molosser breeds. Of the 2,904 people who were disfigured, 1,989 (68%) were disfigured by pit bulls; 322 were disfigured by Rottweilers; 2,466 (84%) were disfigured by molosser breeds. Of the 4,793 dogs involved in fatal and disfiguring attacks on humans occurring in the U.S. & Canada since September 1982, when I began logging the data, 3,260 (68%) were pit bulls; 551 were Rottweilers; 4,090 (85%) were of related molosser breeds, including pit bulls, Rottweilers, mastiffs, bull mastiffs, boxers, and their mixes. Of the 557 human fatalities, 293 were killed by pit bulls; 87 were killed by Rottweilers; 421 (75%) were killed by molosser breeds. Of the 2,893 people who were disfigured, 1,979 (68%) were disfigured by pit bulls; 322 were disfigured by Rottweilers; 2,456 (84%) were disfigured by molosser breeds. Pit bulls--exclusive of their use in dogfighting--also inflict more than 70 times as many fatal and disfiguring injuries on other pets and livestock as on humans, a pattern unique to the pit bull class. Fatal and disfiguring attacks by dogs from shelters and rescues have exploded from zero in the first 90 years of the 20th century to 80 in the past four years, including 58 by pit bulls, along with 22 fatal & disfiguring attacks by other shelter dogs, mostly Rottweilers & bull mastiffs. The only dogs rehomed from U.S. shelters to kill anyone, ever, before 2000 were two wolf hybrids in 1988 and 1989. 33 U.S. shelter dogs & one U.K. shelter dog have participated in killing people since 2010, including 24 pit bulls, seven bull mastiffs, and two Rottweilers. 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%.

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 Animal24-7 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. Nationally, fatal and disfiguring attacks by dogs from shelters and rescues have exploded from zero in the first 90 years of the 20th century to 80 since 2010, including 58 by pit bulls, along with 22 fatal & disfiguring attacks by other shelter dogs, mostly Rottweilers & bull mastiffs. Altogether, 33 U.S. shelter dogs have participated in killing people since 2010, including 24 pit bulls, seven bull mastiffs, and two Rottweilers. The only dogs rehomed from U.S. shelters to kill anyone before 2000 were two wolf hybrids, rehomed in 1988 and 1989, respectively.

Bull sit, pit bulls did not kill 96% of the dogs attacked by other dogs. It is statistically impossible with all the large aggressive breeds out there. German Shepherds, are not in the same family as pits. and they killed 50 people between 1982 and 2010, Rottweillers73, Husky 14, you really expect me to believe these dog breeds combined account for only 1% of deadly attacks on dogs. I got these numbers from Dog Bite Lawyer. Then you state that there was zero fatal attacks by shelter dogs in the beginning years of the twentieth century. Do you really believe, that there is accurate records involving where each dog came from, that was involved in a fatal attack. A stray dog, could have came from shelter, at a earlier time.

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." MELISSA ARCA, MD 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.

HORSWELL BB, CHAHINE CJ, oral surgeons Dog bites of the facial region are increasing in children according to the Center for Disease Control. To evaluate the epidemiology of such injuries in our medical provider region, we undertook a retrospective review of those children treated for facial, head and neck dog bite wounds at a level 1 trauma center. Most dog bites occurred in or near the home by an animal known to the child/family. Most injuries were soft tissue related, however more severe bites and injuries were observed in attacks from the pit-bull and Rottweiler breeds. Younger (under five years) children sustained more of the injuries requiring medical treatment. Injury Severity Scales were determined as well as victim and payer mix demographics, type and characteristics of injury, and complications from the attack. DR RICHARD SATTIN, chief of unintentional-injuries section of the Centers of Disease Control We're trying to focus public attention on this greatly underestimated public hazard. In 1979, pit bulls accounted for 20 percent of fatal attacks by dogs. That figure had risen to 62 percent by 1988. Nobody knows the dog population of the United States or the exact breakdown by breed. We do not believe that pit bulls represent anywhere near 42% percent of dogs in the United States. Therefore, we believe that the pit bull excess in deaths is real and growing. ROBERT D. NEWMAN, M.D. As a pediatrician I was disturbed to read Vicki Hearne's assertion that there are no bad breeds, just bad dogs (Op-Ed, April 15). There is ample evidence to suggest that certain breeds of dogs are more dangerous to children than others. From 1979 to 1994, there were 177 known dog-bite-related fatalities in the United States. Of these fatalities, 66 percent were caused by five breeds: pit bull, Rottweiler, shepherd, husky and malamute. If you include crosses among these five breeds, that number rises to 82 percent. Other breeds, like Labrador retrievers and golden retrievers were not implicated in a single fatality during this same period. I laud the American Kennel Club's attempt to include information about dog breeds considered ''not good with children'' in the coming edition of ''The Complete Dog Book,'' and lament the fact that the book is being recalled at the request of some breeders. Seattle, April 16, 1998 Dr. EDGAR JOGANIK (after trying to reattach scalp and ear to a pit bull victim) Pit bull attacks are typically the most severe, and in about one-third of all attacks, the animals are family pets or belong to close friends. That should be the message, that these dogs should not be around children, adults are just as likely to be victims. Everyone should be extremely cautious. DR. MICHAEL FEALY When a Pit Bull is involved the bites are worse. When they bite, they bite and lock and they don't let go... they bite lock and they rip and they don't let go. DR. CHRISTOPHER DEMAS Bites from pit bulls inflict much more damage, multiple deep bites and ripping of flesh and are unlike any other domestic animal I've encountered. Their bites are devastating - close to what a wildcat or shark would do. DR. AMY WANDEL, plastic surgeon I see just as many dog bites from dogs that are not pit bulls as bites from pit bulls. The big difference is pit bulls are known to grab onto something and keep holding so their damage they create is worse than other breeds. DR. PATRICK BYRNE, Johns Hopkins Hospital I can't think of a single injury of this nature that was incurred by any other species other than a pit bull or a rottweiler. ANDREW FENTON, M.D. As a practicing emergency physician, I have witnessed countless dog bites. Invariably, the most vicious and brutal attacks I have seen have been from the pit bull breed. Many of the victims have been children. In a recent study from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, pit bull attacks accounted for more ER visits than all other breeds combined. In young children, the most common part of the body injured was the face. Numerous studies have proven that the number-one cause of dog bite fatalities is the pit bull breed. I am certain that many attacks are due to owner negligence, but the fact remains that many were unpredictable and were perpetrated by formerly "loving and loyal" pets. Dr. Chagnon has every right to leave our town as she claims she will if pit bulls are banned, just like every one of her patients has the right not to attend her clinic where she brings her pit bulls. I applaud Mayor Pro Tem Joanne Sanders for bringing this issue to the forefront. In the interest of public safety, I recommend we enforce a spay/neuter requirement on pit bulls while reviewing and revamping all of our policies relating to animal bites.

DON BAUERMEISTER, Council Bluffs, IA prosecutor All dogs can "get into it". The reality, though, for way too many dog owners is the sudden, unprovoked, violent and very serious attack from a pit bull. These folks have to pay the immediate vet bill. Yes, sometimes, the Court is able to intervene and order restitution, but what about the dead dog. What about the psychological damage to those who had to witness the attack. I have seen pit bulls attack and injure other dogs. It is something that you will never forget. A very purposeful bite, indeed. Pit bulls are pros and the rest of the dog world are amateurs. Man made them this way. KORY NELSON, Denver, CO City Attorney The most significant point about the justification for bans or restrictions of pit bulls is that these are not dependent upon a claim that every pit bull has a higher than average propensity for attacking humans. The justification is based on the clear evidence that, as a group, pit bulls, compared to other breeds, generally have a higher propensity to exhibit unique behavioral traits during an attack. These behaviors havea higher likelihood of causing more severe injuries or death. The Colorado Dog Fanciers trial court made this clear, stating that, while it could not be proven that pit bulls bite more than other dogs, there was "credible evidence that Pit Bull dog attacks are more severe and more likely to result in fatalities." The court, in great detail, noted fourteen separate areas of differences, including: strength, manageability and temperament, unpredictability of aggression, tenacity, pain tolerance and manner of attack. A municipality that is experiencing a problem with pit bull attacks needs to consider for itself the best course of action to protect its citizens, especially those most likely to be unable to defend themselves from the tenacious and sustained attack of a pit bull, who will likely bite, hold, and tear at its victim despite efforts to stop it. However, given the clear rational evidence, breed-specific legislation is still a legally viable option.There is no new evidence that undermines the holdings of Colorado Dog Fanciers, only new relevant evidence that adds additional support for BSL, as the differential treatment of pit bulls is based upon logical, rational evidence from the scientific field of ethology. BOB JOHNSTONE, Cincinnati, OH city attorney We have amassed what I consider an overwhelming amount of information that demonstrates to me that pit bulls are, by far, responsible for more fatal or serious attacks than any other breed. JUDGE VICTOR E. BIANCHINI, San Diego, CA A pit bull is the closest thing to a wild animal there is in a domesticated dog. U.S. SUPREME COURT, April 26, 1897, SENTELL v. NEW ORLEANS & C. R. CO. Laws for the protection of domestic animals are regarded as having but a limited application to dogs and cats; and, regardless of statute, a ferocious dog is looked upon as hostis humani generis, and as having no right to his life which man is bound to respect.

Karle Pyaar Karle is an adrenaline gushing, action packed, edgy love story of two rebels, Kabir & Preet, playing the game of life.
The unstable environment within their homes manifests into their daring attitude towards life. Right from their childhood Kabir and Preet indulged in playing borderline dangerous games trying to defy the fear and complexes within. In a desperate moment, eight year old Kabir indulged in an act that lead him to the doors of a juvenile home… In a bid to protect Kabir, his mother decided to leave town to escape the harsh punishment. After travelling from one city to another for 12 years, the family returns to their home town where Kabir and Preet reconnect..... beginning a mad chapter of dares, games and fun.
The film is a journey of their unbridled games as they discover themselves and the essence of romance. Problems rear up as though it was their destiny…. Preet started believing that they are ill fated and it's best they should stay away. Kabir firmly believed that only if they are together, will they survive. Preet willingly tore herself apart from Kabir leading them to a point of no return.

Another option is to hook the printer to a Print Server, such as
TRENDnet TEW-P1PG Wireless Parallel Print Server
D-Link DP-301P+ Fast Ethernet Print Server
both available at Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!
I will be installing one of ours on the TRENDnet, since the new Windows 7 computers we are getting do not have parallel ports.
We have 2 on Windows XP machines and 1 on a DLINK 3 port print server, all work fine with Windows 7 using the NiceLabel drivers on Windows 7 and local port UNC paths to XP machines and IP port for print server

Zebra LP 2844 works with Window 7/Worldship 64bit
I have talked to several tech people (UPS, Zebra, FedEx) and actually ended up combining several suggestions to get our Zebra LP2844 working with UPS Worldship 12.0.
This particular route will probably only work if you are using UPS Worldship.
-Of course get rid of all other drivers and uninstall current printer.
-Drivers need to be installed through UPS folder on your C drive.
C: > UPS> WSTD> FOSS > Drivers > Eltron > PrnInst64. It will run the setup.
Once that is installed go into Worldship program. TOOLS > System Preferences Editor > Printing Setup > Label Printer Setup > select your printer and the print test label after clicking okay.
From what I understand, if you are using UPS Worldship, getting the drivers from the Zebra website will not work.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
Problem Printing to TLP 2824 using Parallel to USB Cable
Hi. I bought a TLP 2824 with parallel interface. Got a parallel to USB cable & installed the latest drivers downloaded from zebra site (Using Windows 7 Ult-32bit). It didn't work. Then I removed all the drivers/printers I could & using the supplied CD (that came with XP drivers) installed the drivers in compatibility mode. That worked. Great.
Now the printer was going to be used on this other laptop. The problem is that I've repeated the whole procedure, but it is not printing on the main laptop that it is supposed to. I've tried matching all settings but no use. The only place I'm really confused is the port .. Even on the first computer that it worked, it prints to only USB0002 port. Plugging it in another USB doesn't work. Can anyone get me through this mess & let me know how to fix it. Many thanks.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Success for UPS LP2844 on 64-bit Win7 printing from ups.com
I have now successfully added a UPS LP2844 (Zebra Eltron LP2844), connecting through its USB port, on 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate, and have successfully printed UPS labels to it using the Internet Shipping feature on ups.com. I used a variation of the instructions provided above in this thread by rscinc. To him we all owe our thanks.
Like everyone else with a UPS LP2844 thermal printer bought from UPS, I found that the printer was about half-recognized by Windows 7, but no real drivers were ever installed.
What I got was a generic "USB Printing Support" icon in the Unspecified category of the Control Panel's Devices and Printers page. There was no entry for the printer in the Printers and Faxes category on that page. There is no "Printer Properties" in the context menu for the "USB Printing Support" icon, and therefore there is no "Print Test Page" button. Like I said, the printer was about half-recognized.
If this is your starting point, follow these steps in this exact order:
1. If you tried installing any drivers or ActiveX controls that you downloaded from ups.com, uninstall all of them and reboot.
The ups.com printing support page claims that their driver is Windows 7 compatible. However, it is byte-for-byte identical to the same driver they've been providing for years for Windows XP. Either UPS's developers honestly don't know the difference between an XP driver and a Windows 7 driver, or they do know but they think that claiming to support Windows 7 is all they need to do. In either case, they are less than stellar minds. The drivers on ups.com are useless for any Windows version newer than XP.2. From zebra.com, download the Zebra Designer software for an LP2844. On the date of this post, zebra.com offered me ZD_2.6.42.03_Certified.exe, dated 17 May 2010.
3. Power off the UPS LP2844 and unplug its USB cable from your computer.
4. Install the Zebra Designer software. When prompted for a port, select USB001 (whether or not that is the precisely correct USB port for your LP2844). I elected to not install the optional software such as the Font Downloader.
5. Plug in and power on your UPS LP2844 and let Windows finish the installation.
6. Open the Windows 7 Control Panel's Devices and Printers page and locate the newly installed printer whose name begins with ZDesigner.
7. Right click on the ZDesigner printer's icon. From the context menu, open Printer Properties (not "Properties").
8. Change the name of the printer to UPS Thermal 2442. Note especially the change in the printer number from 2844 to 2442. This is the only printer name that the UPS plug-ins are designed to recognize, and your printer icon must have this exact name.
9. Download and install the UPS Thermal Printer Plugin or ActiveX Control Program from ups.com. Since I have both IE 8 and Firefox 3.6, the installer provided both an ActiveX control for IE and a plug-in for Firefox. Use IE to download and install this link, even if Firefox is your default browser.
10. If Firefox was running when you ran the installer in step 9, exit and restart Firefox.
11. Print a test page from each browser, using the "Set Preferences" page on ups.com (as described on the UPS site).
In my case, printing UPS labels from ups.com using IE now works exactly as expected. In the case of Firefox, two labels are printed for each print request (but only one shipment is recorded on ups.com). It is not a great hardship to remember to use IE for the times I need to print UPS labels.
I have no experience with connecting an LP2844 with its parallel port, or with the UPS WorldShip program. The instructions above work with a USB-connected printer and "Internet Shipping" on ups.com. Your experience may vary.
Good luck!

rscinc method worked without a hitch.
When he says to use the UPS Thermal 2442 that
is what makes the difference.
A good testing method is to be logged in at UPS and
have your printer preferences page open. As you make
changes to your drivers-and-activex-installs test your
printer until it works.
Thanks a lot rscinc. I took a long time to find you.

The Head Coach position of the Charlotte Bobcats is perhaps the least desired of all head coaching jobs in the NBA. The team's frontcourt is abysmal, their backcourt shows glimmers of light with Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker, but neither figure to be true stars. Also, they have Ben Gordon. Even with a probable top-3 pick in this year's draft, the team doesn't figure to improve dramatically from a talent standpoint. Therefore, any coach who takes the job enters the situation already at a disadvantage. No matter how able a coach is to connect with his players, effort only goes so far. Practice makes perfect, but perfect is subjective, and one team's perfect may only be as good as another team's decent.
To be fair to Dunlap, and most Charlotte coaches before him, it seems as if the Bobcats have little patience for "the process." They want to win, and they want immediate improvement, without taking the steps necessary, albeit slow, steps to do so. Defense takes more than a season to learn, especially for those just entering the league. In the past three seasons, the Bobcats notched Defensive Ratings of 108.9, 107.8 and 104.8, per NBA.com. Personnel clearly contributes to these issues, but so too do the ever-changing defensive schemes Offensive concepts beyond scoring, such as spacing, cutting and angles, are not inherent traits in most players, and thus must be taught. Development takes time, especially with a young team that features so few promising pieces. Perhaps Dunlap wasn't the right coach, but the more Charlotte continues this yearly cycle of hiring and firing coaches, the less time players have to learn the concepts so essential to success.
This, then, leads to the importance of Charlotte nailing this next hire. Instability doesn't breed consistency, nor does it foster team or individual development. It also exponentially decreases the authority of whoever next assumes this mantle. Players are less likely to heed a coach's advice, warnings or disciplines when it's highly likely that coach won't be there the next year, as exemplified by the conflict this year between Mike Dunlap and Ben " you need to humble yourself" Gordon.
Originally, it was thought that Charlotte could fix their talent issues by luring (read: overpaying a free agent or two this summer. However, as Zach Lowe points out, they may not have as much cap space as previously thought:
That $20 million in approximate cap space the Bobcats are trumpeting at every chance is also mostly theoretical. Charlotte has about $41 million committed to eight players next season. Henderson's cap hold takes up another $7.7 million of that space, and the no. 2 pick would eat up another $4 million or so. Toss in charges for empty roster spots, and the Bobcats are looking at something like $8 million in actual cap space — at least before deciding on Henderson's fate.
Already, this free agent class is lacking in true difference makers. Maybe the Bobcats throw money at Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson or even Monta Ellis, but none of those additions could realistically be touted as franchise saviors. Thus, Charlotte, and whoever their next head coach may be, is once again doomed to toil in the dregs of the league. Given this scenario, coupled with the fact that the position of Head Coach in Charlotte doesn't exactly lend itself to longevity, is it any surprise that this is one of the least attractive jobs to any aspiring coach?

I bought the red/yellow/white stripes cushions. They are bright and bold...just like I wanted. Quite thick so they don't smush down like a pancake. Fit my chairs perfectly. I sitll find the price for good chair cushions to be rather expensive, but these were cheaper than the nicest ones at Walmart and definitely more eye-appealing.
I love my new cushions! They're beautiful and durable, I am very pleased.
Happy with these cushions! They are comfortable and a good size overall (not too thin or thick) for my wicker chairs.
I love these cushions! The only problem I have is that since they are chair cushions, I naturally assumed they would have tie strings to attach them to the chair. I understand that lower quality items would not necessarily have them, but for this price I would expect to get such a thoughtful "luxury".

WICHITA, Kan. – Evansville coach Marty Simmons watched his young team race out to a big early lead on No. 4 Wichita State. Then he saw the Shockers slap on the press and come roaring right back.
It's something they've done to plenty of teams this season.
D.J. Balentine had 26 points in another strong performance, but the Purple Aces were unable to hold onto an early 15-point lead and lost 81-67 at raucous Koch Arena on Saturday.
"It's about the process. It's about the possession. You start thinking like that," Simmons said, when asked about getting comfortable with the big lead, "bad things are going to happen."
They certainly happened quickly.
Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker scored 14 points apiece for undefeated Wichita State.
The Shockers' comeback began when Baker scored with 8:12 remaining in the first half, starting a 27-4 run spanning halftime and turning a 15-point deficit into a 41-33 lead.
The charge was fueled by a three-quarter-court pressure that forced Evansville into several turnovers, the only time that a team starting two freshmen and three sophomores looked shaky.
"When they're making their run, it's like pouring gasoline on the fire," Simmons said with a shake of his head. "That's something we have to learn from."
It didn't help that the Purple Aces were mired in foul trouble.
Duane Gibson and fellow guard Adam Wing each had three fouls by halftime, and four others had two fouls apiece. That included Balentine, who sat on the bench for the final couple of minutes so that he wouldn't be tempted into picking up his own third foul.
The Purple Aces hung around until the midway point of the second half, when Evan Wessel's basket began a run of seven straight points that gave the Shockers a 70-52 lead.
Wichita State never allowed the Purple Aces (10-13, 3-7) to get close the final 8 minutes, avenging two frustrating losses to them a year ago.
"The way they started, I said, `Oh boy, here we go again,"' Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. "But we finally got stops. They missed a couple and we got out in transition."
The Shockers (23-0, 10-0) rallied from a 19-point deficit to defeat Missouri State earlier this season, and have often found themselves suffering through long stretches of poor play only to come out unscathed by the final buzzer.
So is there a deficit too big to overcome?
"Let's just hope we don't find out," Marshall said. "I'm sure there is, at this point not so far, but let's just hope we don't find out anytime soon."
Balentine, who was coming off a 43-point performance against Northern Iowa, finished 11 of 21 from the field. But he didn't get a whole lot of help from his teammates, who struggled against the length and athleticism of the Shockers' forwards.
"They play so hard and they're so active and they have so many good pieces," Simmons said. "They change things up and they keep you off balance."
Cleanthony Early added 13 points and Tekele Cotton had 12 for the Shockers, who haven't lost since last year's surprising run to the Final Four, and now face the toughest two-game stretch standing between them and an unbeaten regular season.
First up is Indiana State on Wednesday night, followed by a trip to Northern Iowa – the two closest teams to the Shockers in the Missouri Valley standings.
Incidentally, the only Valley school with a better start than the Shockers was the Indiana State team led by Larry Bird, which won its first 33 games before losing an iconic NCAA title game to Magic Johnson and Michigan State on March 26, 1979.
"It's something a lot of people have talked about," Baker said. "We're excited about it."

James Holmes Identified as Colorado Shooting Suspectby Hilton Hater at . Comments
James Holmes has been identified as the suspect who opened fire inside a Colorado movie theater early this morning, injuring over 50 attendees and killing at least 12 people on hand to watch a screening of The Dark Knight Rises.
The 24-year old is in police custody.
Sources say Holmes is a former University of Colorado School of Medicine student who dropped out last month. He does not have a criminal record, nor does he appear to possess ties to any terrorist organization.
Authorities raided Holmes' Denver-area apartment today and reportedly found what appeared to be "buckets of extra ammunition" and some kind of chemical inside his home.
Eerily enough, a woman from California called in to ABC News a short while ago and confirmed that Holmes, her son, is almost definitely the culprit.
"You have the right person," the San Diego resident said, adding that she would be calling the police and flying to Colorado.
In the wake of this tragedy, Warner Bros. has canceled the Paris red carpet premiere of The Dark Knight Rises tonight and sent out its thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims.
UPDATE: The University of Colorado has released the following photo of James Holmes:
Hello? Earth to morons, Earth to morons! both parties are corrupt and complicit and although continually demanding Rmoney's tax returns, refuse to show their own. GARY JOHNSON 2012 is the last chance we have. 2 party system is a sham. Demand the hope and change Obama promised and then laughed and shrugged off the TOP EIGHT requests at we the people dot gov -- all concerning cannabis prohibition law reform! everyone could have a job if hemp were legal HEMP FOR VICTORY look it up on youtube, in 1942 the US dept of AGRICULTURE released a 20 min film urging american farmers to grow HEMP FOR THE WAR! WW2. to be used to make uniforms, parachutes, machine oil for their huge aircraft carriers in BOTH oceans...
Look at the retards trying to blame Obama and spamming message boards with 'OMGZZORS LEFTIST' he was raised in a very strict, very conservative religious household.
PS Typo: I meant 'incompetent'.
@Colorado You're right as rain! So many obvious failings of Obama. So many ways he's shown us he's in competent. Liberal fools on here are trying to make Romney out for what he is NOT! He wants to repeal Obama Care alright, but replace it with a better health care system that utilizes private sector more so to keep the horrendous taxes that will come with Obama's health plan--AND will be primarily on the backs of the MIddle Class he (Obama) promised to protect from tax hikes. Romney will not repeal Roe vs Wade. No President will despite his personal beliefs on right-to-life. It's here to stay. Bush didn't touch it and he was pro-life. It's an old scare tactic Dems shove at women voters. Women voters are smart. They get it. They are worried about the economy instead as they should be. Enough said.
This is why Bitches & Company should be booted off. You're crazy like a fox! You are crazy obsessed with a person on here you hate! Then go to another site, but you won't because your extreme bullying personality won't allow it! Then some people wonder why this Colo. man did what he did---it's freaks like you that can spin out eventually & do the unspeakable when you hit that desperate point. Do us all a favor, Trolls, stay away from movie theaters--just rent the film when it comes out on dvd!
How can people see Obamacare as a plus? You don't even know what's in it. What we cannot afford Is unemployment over 15%. What we cannot afford is having 50% of people on assistance. Who is this Obama? Does anyone know? What are his personal goals? Where does he want to take our country? I have yet to hear him say. Why isn't he in Colorado? What else could be so important? Campaign strategy? Is he not a leader?
Obama our country cannot afford Romneys repeals on enviroment regulations-on obamacare-on medicaid-on abortion.Romney is wrong.
By reading the comments on the site one can tell who supports obama. What a bunch of crazed lunatics you people are. My vote goes to romney. If this attitude is what Obama brings out I want no part of it.
Obama secured my vote this year.
You are sick! I'm talking to the entire clan.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Set Visit Report; Creating the Turtles Step by Step
by Perri Nemiroff Posted 112 days ago
Taking on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles isn't like signing on to direct any old film. It's a property that comes with an enormous fan base and, therefore, sky-high expectations and even while shooting it, director Jonathan Liebesman was well aware of it. Last June we got the chance to visit the film's Wall Street set in New York City and Liebesman took a brief break to say hello and also note, "I've never had a film that people are so excited to see so long before, so I think it's just challenging to do something that meets the expectations. Honestly, that's hard."
Fortunately, Liebesman's got some quality talent backing him up including VFX supervisor Pablo Helman, the man responsible for leading the initiative to bring the Turtles back to the big screen in the most groundbreaking and realistic way possible. Hit the jump to find out what it took for Helman to take the Turtles from concept to design to set and beyond.

Top 5 government IT disasters besides Healthcare.gov
Summary: The government program generally known as Obamacare is the poster child for poor government IT work. There have been others though.
3 of 7Image
EDA wrecking ball
A report released earlier this year by the US Department of Commerce revealed how one US agency, fueled by the paranoia of a nation-state attack, spent US$2.7 million trying to destroy US$3 million worth of its own IT equipment, even though evidence of such an attack was never found.
This odd decision came out of a miscommunication between the affected agency, the US Economic Development Administration (EDA), and the Department of Commerce's Computer Incident Response Team (DOC CIRT). DOC CIRT had determined that two components on EDA's network were infected with malware. EDA somehow got the idea that in fact 146 components were infected.
EDA cut all their systems off of the networks. Confusion ensued about how widespread and sophisticated the infections on their systems were. Just to be thorough in the event that foreign infiltrators were working their way into the US Economic Development Administration, EDA's CIO ordered the destruction of all of EDA's IT components. This included printers, mice, keyboards, TVs and cameras.
Food stamp system goes down
Only a few weeks ago Xerox, the operator of the Electronic Benefits System (EBT) was conducting a routine test of their backup systems. For reasons which aren't clear, this lead to the system shutting down for five hours.
EBT is the system for food payments to beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program in 17 states. It's what is usually known as food stamps. Of course, they don't use stamps anymore, they use a special debit card.
During the five hour outage merchants are supposed to use an emergency voucher system, but some merchants decided to just keep accepting the cards, which effectively no longer had limits on them. Some cardholders went on a shopping spree.
The Failure Of The FBI's Virtual Case File Project
Between 2001 and 2005, the FBI attempted and failed to build a system called the Virtual Case File.
Part of a larger project called Trilogy, Virtual Case File seems to have been designed as a case study in how not to run a large IT project. It experienced significant cost and schedule overruns. There was scope creep. The scheduling was driven by desired outcomes, not reality. There was lack of clear ownership.
Author Simon Moore says the heart of the problem is vague requirements. The requirements were ill-defined and changed throughout the project.
