A common bike-car collision is the left hook, when an oncoming car turns left into the path of a bicyclist going straight through an intersection.
The right hook, when a right-turning vehicle collides with a bicycle traveling straight-through, can be prevented with assertive lane position and never passing on the right. Another common bike-car collision is the left hook, when an oncoming car turns left into the path of a bicyclist going straight through an intersection.
The reason for this is the same as for most car-bike collisions: the motorist doesn't see the bicycle. That may come as a surprise, because in the left hook situation, the motorist is facing the cyclist. The failure of a motorist to see a bicycle right in front of him can be explained by the "Moonwalking bear test", a short video which challenges the viewer to count the number of times a ball is passed between players in white. The viewer is so focused on counting passes that he never sees the prominent moonwalking bear.
Motorists and bicyclists alike don't see what we aren't looking for. A motorist making a left turn may be looking for oncoming cars, cars coming from the right or left, and cars that may be already in the target lane. In places like Kirksville where there aren't a lot of bicycles, motorists don't expect to see them, and aren't looking for them.
As a motorist, you can prevent a left hook by avoiding distractions while driving (such as talking or texting) and by watching for bicycles.
As a cyclist, you can prevent a left hook using again the Third Layer of Crash Prevention, "Discourage drivers' mistakes" with an assertive lane position. Allow at least an arm's length from the edge of the road, but when approaching an intersection, especially if an oncoming motorist is waiting to turn left, move more toward the center of the lane. (Always check behind before changing your lane or your lane position). This assertive lane position makes you more visible. Finally, keep an eye on the oncoming traffic, whether or not you see a turn signal. Being aware that a motorist might make that left turn even though you have the right of way can give you that extra bit of reaction time you need to avoid a collision.

My credit card won't die.
On August 1 I cancelled a Chase credit card. I cancelled it because I couldn't get rid of fraudulent recurring charges by contacting the merchant.
A few months ago I had tried asking for a new card with a new number, in the past that always worked to clear out all the BS recurring charges (gym memberships, etc.). The charges blasted right through that new card.
I wrote the blog post because I was surprised in the change in the law that allows credit card banks to continue to push recurring merchant charges even after a card had been claimed lost or stolen.
But it turns out it's even worse than that. Yesterday I received a bill for that cancelled credit card. The account was closed, said the bill, but there was a new charge for $40.
Say what?
I called Chase. They told me that even though I had cancelled the card merchants could continue to bill me.
Basically, any merchant that had a recurring billing relationship with me can keep billing that card even though it is a closed account. All I can do is pay the charges or go through the dispute resolution procedure.
This raises an interesting philosophical question – How does Chase manage to continue to accept charges on my behalf when we've ended the contractual relationship? Can an account really be called "closed" when people can still run charges through it?
That's something I'm going to explore by actually reading my credit card agreement. Shudder.
The merchant won't deal with me because they don't want to deal with me. My bank won't stop them.
My only recourse is to go through the full dispute process and all the paperwork it entails.
The guy from Chase was interesting. He said that this was really necessary because so many people defraud merchants by getting out of recurring charges.
Err, ok.
I really don't think I'm going to be giving out my credit card so freely in the future.

Robert ClarkAlumni, Class of 2008
Up until now I've been majoring in fiction writing at Purchase college, and am still currently working on a novel, a novella and several short stories. At ITP I'm interested in exploring modes of interactivity in storytelling, especially in broadening the modes of expression available in modern video-game design, which at the moment appears to lack a cohesive and coherent method of emotive communication within the context of its characters, thereby lessening the fields of choice available to players. If the medium is the message, as McLuhan said, then the impact that games have on our society might be qualified as introducing the idea of choice to narratives, and as a part of a larger movement towards audiences demanding greater control over their entertainment counts as a primary attraction of mine to this program.

I remember having a Habitrail and a couple of hamsters when I was a kid. It was cool because no matter where those Hamsters wandered off to (and I had quite the maze) I could watch their every move.
Suddenly we're all the hamsters in the Habitrail.
The U.S. Constitution has no express right to privacy, but the issue was brought up repeatedly in the Bill of Rights.
We don't have a right to privacy in the U.S. But the basic agreement with government has always been that the police can't just do whatever they like, they have to have probable cause and get a warrant from the judicial branch before they start shredding privacy.
There are lots of notable exceptions, like sobriety checkpoints, that allow police to sidestep the judicial process. But generally speaking as long as you avoid driving drunk (or perhaps being an Asian American during World War II), you could have a reasonable expectation of privacy, or something like it, as an American.
Those days are long gone. Today we all carry finely tuned location tracking devices in our pockets and purses nearly all of the time.
We carry these devices voluntarily, even though we know that the government can access that location data at any time and without a warrant. And then use that data as evidence against us to convict us of crimes.
If I could somehow explain all this to our founding fathers, I imagine them doing a double take and sputtering something along the lines of "say what now?"
It really is happening right now. If you're a criminal there's good chance your cell phone company is handing over all your location data.
This is such an efficient system the police aren't even bothering with their own GPS tracking devices any more.
You might be saying to yourself "I'm not a criminal, so I'm fine. Who cares if the police are tracking my every move. I have nothing to hide."
I'd say "Ok. I hope that you aren't dating or married to a police officer or federal employee who might get jealous and start to track you. Or that you aren't friends with the wife of a police officer who might start tracking you, too." Because, damn, being a police officer today means you're just a phone call away from being able to track anyone in the country for any reason.
And wait for the day a decade from now when someone is convicted of a crime based on nothing but implied guilt from turning off their phone or leaving it at home.
After a couple of years of this the police won't just be happy they can track anyone – they'll start to really think that they have the absolute right to track everyone.
And therefore anyone who isn't carrying their phone with them, or turns it off, must certainly be doing something illegal and trying to hide what they're really up to.
There are juries that will convict on this kind of circumstantial evidence. Maybe even you would.
Personally I don't want to live in that kind of America. Because I'm not a hamster, and America isn't supposed to be a Habitrail.
The last line of defense against the government is our Supreme Court. They're the line in the sand. And they're completely complacent about all of this.
Update: Google continues to do what our judicial branch will not.

Obamacare or bust? There is a better optionEDITORIAL
August 25. 2013 10:51PM
This has been the summer that Obamacare began dismantling in earnest the health insurance plans President Obama promised us we could keep. Week after week, we have seen stories of companies altering their health insurance plans or switching employees to part time to avoid the law's massive costs. Even NPR reported on Friday that Obamacare will "force" (NPR's word) millions of Americans into health insurance plans they don't want. This is the tip of the iceberg.
As Manhattan Institute health policy analyst Avik Roy pointed out at a series of events last week sponsored by Americans for Prosperity's New Hampshire chapter, Obamacare's regulations will deeply change health insurance in the United States, reducing choices and increasing costs. Just one of the negative effects: In the individual insurance market in New Hampshire, according to the Society of Actuaries, the average price of insurance will rise by 37 percent.
To cover everyone, Obama-care forces the young and healthy to buy insurance, and makes that insurance tremendously more expensive to pay the cost of covering the sick and elderly. But universal coverage and lower costs can be achieved in smarter ways. We know this because other countries already do it.
Switzerland and Singapore have universal health insurance coverage. Switzerland spends $1,628 per person on health insurance. Singapore spends $762, Roy shows. Counting state, local and federal government spending and tax breaks, the United States spends $3,967 per person. We spend far more and get far less. Why? Because we spend stupidly. (Obamacare makes this worse.)
Switzerland has a regulated insurance exchange (as Obamacare does), but instead of all the mandates and regulations on top of that, the Swiss simply give lower-income people a subsidy with which they can buy their own insurance on the exchange. People can choose the insurance coverage they want, with subsidies going to those people who need them, not to everyone (as with Medicare).
It is a cheaper, fairer, freer and smarter system. Roy makes a strong case that we should adopt a similar system here. Instead, we have the costly, burdensome, nonsensical Obamacare.

Fredric Stahl is "the sympathetic lawyer, the kind aristocrat, the saintly husband, the comforting doctor, or the good lover." At least onscreen.
He's an American movie star, born in Vienna, and says "my dear" with a kind of dreamy, trans-European cosmopolitan allure that makes him seem "a warm man in a cold world." He's also the hero of Alan Furst's new novel, Mission to Paris, set in Furst's favorite locale: Europe on the brink of war.
Warner Brothers makes a one-picture swap: Gary Cooper for Stahl, who is sent to Paris to make a film about the French Foreign Legion. He discovers a Paris that is sultry, lovely and inviting — especially to Nazi "agents of influence" who are multiplying in the city in 1938.
Stahl lands in hot water after telling an interviewer that he thinks war is futile — a sentiment closely associated with the French right wing, which, with Nazi support, is pressing to keep France out of the coming war. Now, both the Americans and the Germans are very interested in what he might say and do.
"He is, like any large-screen personality of the time, potentially a very important agent of influence," Furst tells NPR's Scott Simon. Sports stars weren't the cultural force then that they are now, but "everybody went to the movies," he says. "They went to the movies on every continent, and they went every night."
The Germans recruit Stahl at one point, although he resists, to judge a festival of "mountain films," a genre popular in Nazi Germany. "They loved the idea of being outdoors, but they also liked the spiritual side of it, that you climbed and climbed until you stood on the peak in the sunlight, and that was supposed to be morally instructive to the German society," Furst says.
Furst does intensive research to uncover things like the German love of "mountain films."
"When I read period material — and it ain't on Google — I am always alert for that one incredible detail," Furst says. "I'll read a whole book and get three words out of it, but they'll be three really good words."
For example, he says, at the farewell banquet for the "mountain film" festival, the tables are decorated with marzipan tanks and planes — a detail he got from a contemporary diary. "And when I saw marzipan tanks and planes, I thought, that's too good, I can't leave that out. That has to go somewhere in the book," he says.
The candy tanks are a lighthearted touch, but there are plenty of dark moments in Mission to Paris. Furst writes about Kristallnacht, the night of Nazi-backed attacks on Jewish homes and businesses, but at a certain distance — not close up.
Furst says he wanted to reproduce a moment in history in such a way that his readers could see themselves as part of it. "It wouldn't have been strange or unusual for someone to say, 'Oh, you know, we were in the Adlon [hotel] that night, when there was Kristallnacht.' Really, did you see anything? 'Well, no, not exactly, but we certainly smelled the burning,'" he says. "I prefer that to having somebody run out and punch a Gestapo person and get away with it. Forget it. That was not the way life was in Berlin at that time."
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. Fredric Stahl is the sympathetic lawyer, the kind aristocrat, the saintly husband, the comforting doctor, or the good lover. At least onscreen. He's an American movie star, born in Vienna, and says my dear with a kind of dreamy, trans-European cosmopolitan allure that makes him seem a warm man in a cold world.
Warner Brothers makes a one-picture swap: Gary Cooper for Fredric Stahl, who is sent to Paris to make a film about the French Foreign Legion. And he discovers a Paris that is sultry, lovely and inviting - especially to Nazi agents of influence who are multiplying in the city in 1938.
Fredric Stahl is the star of Alan Furst's latest novel "Mission to Paris." Alan Furst, acclaimed as the master of previous historical spy novels including "Night Soldiers," "Spies of the Balcans," and "Foreign Correspondent," joins us from New York. Thanks so much for being with us.
ALAN FURST: Thank you for having me.
SIMON: Let's begin this interview with recounting what Fredric Stahl says in an interview that kind of puts him in the center of events in Paris in 1938.
FURST: What he says in an interview, or what they make him say in an interview, is such things as war is futile. Now, you would normally think that that would be an acceptable political sentiment any time, any place, but not in Paris in 1938 when the French right wing, with the help of the Nazi department - the Foreign Ministry was pressing hard for France to take a very kind of conscientious objectors approach to war.
SIMON: So it looks like he's aligning himself with that side.
FURST: Yes, it certainly does.
SIMON: And both the Nazis and the U.S. Embassy have designs on Fredric Stahl, but how do they each see him as being useful potentially in different ways?
FURST: He is like any large screen personality of the time - potentially a very important agent of influence. This is a time when sports stars weren't quite so universally important. Entertainers certainly were, especially the bands and some of the singers. But everybody went to the movies. They went to the movies on every continent and they went every night and around the world the studios made money.
SIMON: Your novel features a mid-level U.S. Embassy official who knows that war is coming and believes that the U.S. has a role to play in defeating Nazi Germany. And I liked that character very much but I wondered is that really borne out by history? Was that really U.S. policy in 1938?
FURST: It was Roosevelt's policy. It wasn't U.S. policy a bit. And Roosevelt enlisted his friends like Vincent Astor and some others to visit Europe, see airplane factories, do whatever they could do to get whatever information they could because he needed it in order to try to whisper it in senators' and representatives' ears and try to change the point of view with the Congress. Which he didn't do.
SIMON: Mm-hmm.
FURST: He didn't really get it done until the Japanese did it for him at Pearl Harbor.
SIMON: Yeah. At one point Fredric Stahl is recruited by the Germans - he resists at first - to be a judge for one day at a German film festival of mountain films.
FURST: Yes.
SIMON: Is this an actual genre?
FURST: Yes.
SIMON: So you've seen a few, it sounds like.
FURST: No. I've read about a few. That's not quite the same as actually having to sit through them. No, they were passionate for mountain films in Nazi Germany. They loved the idea of being outdoors, but they also liked the spiritual side of it, that you climbed and climbed until you stood on the peak in the sunlight. And that was really supposed to be morally instructive to the German society.
SIMON: I'm going to be very disappointed if the answer to this is I just Google it - how do you establish the sometimes luxuriant detail of the period?
FURST: When I read period material, and it ain't on Google, I am always alert for that one incredible detail. I'll read a whole book and get three words out of it but they'll be three really good words. And I'll give you an instance.
SIMON: Mm-hmm.
FURST: When the mountain film festival nears its end and they have the farewell banquet, you see marzipan tanks and fighter planes.
SIMON: Yeah.
FURST: As the centerpiece of the table.
SIMON: Mm-hmm.
FURST: That's true. And I got that from a person who kept a diary during the period. And when I saw marzipan tanks and planes I thought that's too good. I can't leave that out. That has to go somewhere in the book.
SIMON: You have Kristallnacht, for many people a marker in the history of Nazi Germany, an indication that there was no going back, the night that synagogues were destroyed and the windows of Jewish businesses were smashed. It's seen at a distance in this novel, not close up. What are you trying to achieve there?
FURST: I was trying to authenticate the moment of history by trying to put it as more of my readers could see themselves taking part in it in some way. In other words, it wouldn't have been strange or unusual for someone to say, oh, you know, we were in the Adlon that night when there was Kristallnacht. Really? Did you see anything? Well, no, not exactly but we certainly smelled the burning and we did think we saw a man running away down the street.
And the doorman told us we should stay in the hotel that night. I preferred that to having somebody run out and punch a Gestapo person and get away with it. Forget it. That was not the way life was in Berlin at that time. So I tried to be as authentic as possible.
SIMON: In other words, people being aware of it and it not registering much of a shudder with them morally or any other way?
FURST: Well, they had no idea what was going on. They only found out later that they were witnessing a really brutal, savage attack. But you can't see that from the streets and you can't know that from having a cigarette in front of a hotel. Later on you find out what it was you actually saw.
SIMON: Let me ask this question carefully for a Saturday morning family audience. How do you treat sex during this time period in that kind of society?
FURST: Well, in Europe in any event, sex was more acceptable in a general way than it was in the American Middle West, that's for sure. It was a fairly sophisticated place and I think what happened was people slowly began to understand that everything around them was going to be destroyed and that it might include them.
And it sounds like a cliche but it isn't to say if we don't do this now, there's a good chance we'll never do it. And I think that was true for men and I think it was true for women and I think a lot of people were making love in the '30s who might not have done so but for the threat of war.
SIMON: How much time at a given day do you spend in 1938 or whatever year in that period you're writing about?
FURST: Ooh. A lot. When I'm writing I'm kind of in a kind of teleportated(ph) haze. Can you say that? It's a teleportated state. Somehow, I live in the '30s for part of the time and I don't quite understand why you would or why I do, but it's just extremely interesting to me and it's interesting to me in the same way that people will have, say, a passionate hobby for something. Or they're a passionate golf player. I spend a lot of time in the '30s in just that way.
SIMON: Alan Furst. His new novel, "Mission to Paris" comes out on Tuesday. He joined us from our studios in New York. Thanks so much.
FURST: Thank you for having me.
SIMON: You can read an excerpt from Alan Furst's "Mission to Paris" on our website npr.org. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I recommend avoiding the following foods as much as possible:processed foods artificial sweeteners
6. Add Metabolism Power Foods
Certain foods might help the body use and expend energy better. This has to do with the thermic effects of some foods, meaning the body works harder to break down and metabolize certain fat-burning foods , in some cases because the food has a warming effect on the body that uses up calories.fat-burning foods
Eating enough protein, for example, is tied to a strong metabolism, as are some spicy foods and also drinking natural forms of caffeine in moderation, like coffee or tea.Packing in healthy high-protein snacks and sources throughout the day — in the form of wild-caught fish, cage-free eggs, grass-fed beef or raw dairy products, for example — is one the simple metabolism boosters that also keeps you full for longer. Protein is beneficial for keeping energy and blood sugar stable while also helping build calorie-burning lean muscle mass. () Eating foods with protein naturally forces your body to use up more calories during the digestion process than when you eat carbs.high-protein snacks
Green tea is another healthy addition to your diet, since its consumption has been considered a natural metabolism booster for centuries thanks to special antioxidant compounds in addition to low levels of caffeine.Garlic is another food that acts as a thermogenic in the body, which revs up the metabolism's heat-producing effects. It's also tied to lower blood sugar levels and less fat accumulation thanks to a compound called allicin.
Naturally warming foods likecayenne pepper, chili and other spicy ingredients are known to increase heat in the body thanks to an active compound called capsaicin. There's evidence that warming spiceslike cinnamon, pepper and ginger aid in lipid oxidation, which is the process of burning fat for energy — obviously highly desirable when weight loss is the goal. These antioxidant-packed spices also might helpdecrease appetite and slow the growth of fat cells.
Lastly, let's not forget about
Chinese Laundry Hayden Espadrille Womens OzqrRho
, one of my favorite ingredients for digestive health and balancing blood sugar.
From the sound of it, you might think leaky gut only affects the digestive system, but in reality it can affect more. Because Leaky Gut is so common, and such an enigma, I'm offering a free webinar on all things leaky gut.

It had been a long time since I had last had pizza and I was craving it. A while ago I made some
shrimp scampi
and I remembered thinking that it would go well on pizza. My idea was that the sauce of the pizza would be the garlic and butter sauce of the shrimp scampi and of course some cheese would be required to top everything off. The shrimp scampi pizza was easy to make and tasted great! I really enjoyed having shrimp on a pizza. The garlic and butter sauce went well on the pizza and I did not miss the tomato sauce at all. I had planned on brightening the pizza up a bit with some fresh chopped parsley after it came out of the oven but I completely forgot.
Shrimp Scampi Pizza
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pinch red chili pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 pound shrimp (shelled and deveined)
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 cup mozzarella (grated)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, optional)
- Heat the oil and melt the butter in a pan.
- Add the red chili pepper flakes and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the shrimp and saute until just cooked, about 1-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan.
- Add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil.
- Simmer the liquid until reduced by about half, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the butter, wait for it to melt and turn off the heat.
- Pour the mixture onto the pizza crust, add the shrimp and top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in a preheated 550F oven until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley and let cool.

MP warns over 'disposable pets'
The sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops should be banned or Britain risks becoming a nation with "disposable pets", an MP has said.
Labour's Robert Flello said that, as a nation of animal lovers, the country should not allow the sale of the animals in high street shops because they often come from irresponsible breeders.
So-called puppy farms and other establishments mistreat puppies and kittens and separate them from their mothers at an early age, which leads to life-threatening problems such as poor socialisation, infectious diseases, and impaired immune systems, he said.
Stoke MP Robert Flello said the the sale of the animals in high street shops should not be allowed
Some puppies can also pose a risk to their owners in later life due to their mistreatment, Mr Flello added.
Irresponsible breeders usually sell the animals privately, on the internet or to retail outlets.
But banning the sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops, garden centres and "pet supermarkets" is the easiest way to have an immediate impact on the problem, according to Mr Flello.
Asking for clarity from the Government, he said he believed local councils may already have the power to restrict pet shop licences to stop them selling certain types of animals, and if so they should stop the sale of puppies and kittens.
Opening a debate on a backbench business motion in the Commons, Mr Flello said: "We consider ourselves to be a nation of animal lovers where a dog is a man's best friend, a pet cat, a pet dog is part of the family.
"But every day puppies and kittens are bought from pet shops or garden centres that become ill. All too frequently they die as a result of the supply chain from irresponsible breeder to pet shop.
"Quite frankly I can't think a nation of animal lovers would allow this to continue.
"Are we at risk of becoming a nation with disposable pets?"
Mr Flello said the sale of puppies and kittens on the high street can lead to impulse-buying, leaving owners with the burden of unhealthy animals that may have behavioural problems, which can lead to pets being abandoned.
He said: "Puppies and kittens are housed and sold without their mothers and the presence of such retail outlets encourages impulsive buying, irresponsible breeding, and commoditisation of these animals, as well as too often leaving prospective owners with the burden of life-threatening health and behavioural problems associated with pet shop puppies.
"The Government can therefore have an immediate effect without any excessive enforcement costs by banning the sale of puppies and kittens on high street premises."
Mr Flello acknowledged that improving public information to encourage people to only buy puppies and kittens when their mother is present is important, but the banning of their sale on the high street is needed to combat impulse-buying.
He said: "Information is absolutely important but, with all the best information in the world, if you happen to be buying a container of goldfish food from the local pet shop with your family and they see a cute puppy or a cute kitten that's where a problem arises - the impulse purchase."
The MP added: "My intention from this motion is not to vilify pet shops per se but in almost every case where they sell puppies and kittens they simply can't meet the specific needs required in this developmental golden period for puppies to learn their future emotional template, in order to exhibit normal behaviour patterns, to safely adjust to family life, as well as all the health implications."
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee chair Anne McIntosh said self-regulation and better public information was the way forward.
She said: "I'm slightly confused as to why a great deal of emphasis in your speech was on pet shops because my understanding is that pet shops are the one part of the trade that is pretty much regulated."
She went on: "The message that I think should go forward from the House today is that there is a role for self-regulation.
"Surely to any responsible potential dog or cat owner we should not be buying puppies or kittens where the mother is not present.
"That is so self evident. Do we need to legislate that? Is that something we just need to go out and educate the public on?"
Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke (Elmet and Rothwell) outlined his own support for the motion as a dog lover.
But first he lightened the mood: "Dogs have a unique bond with us humans - our two dogs, Boris and Maggie, have a loyalty, a love, a calming nature through exercise and, of course, the comfort a dog can give you.
"When your animals need medical attention, you worry about them like you would any other member of the family.
"For the first and last time, I can stand in this House and say that Boris's bad behaviour was improved immensely when I had him castrated.
"He did have a castration operation when he was younger and that night he got constant attention, because they are like a member of your family ... the public when we go out and buy an animal, we need to expect those animals are getting a healthy start in life, that they are well looked after."
Conservative Simon Kirby (Brighton Kemptown) urged the House to "speak up for the puppies and kittens who have no voice" and stop the "cruel and unnecessary" practice.
He went on: "Let us all ask 'Where's mum?'"
Liberal Democrat Paul Burstow (Sutton and Cheam) said the status quo was unacceptable, adding that the same treatment would not be tolerated in respect of farm animals.
Labour's John McDonnell (Hayes and Harlington) said in terms of breeding licensing the regime had to be reduced to two litters a year and insisted a puppy should not be removed from his or her mother for 12 weeks.
He said enforcement was key and that local authorities needed to have the resources to be able to deal with the issue.
Conservative Justin Tomlinson (North Swindon) said there should mandatory licensing for all breeders, not just those with a larger number of animals, and called for pet shops to be banned from selling puppies.
He told the House that 95% of people would not wish to buy from puppy farmers but more than 900,000 a year inadvertently do so.
Green MP Caroline Lucas (Brighton Pavilion) called puppy farms "factories" for dogs and said adult dogs were used as "breeding machines".
She agreed with Conservative Sir Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) that the existing legislation needed to be better enforced.
But she added that the case for action was "overwhelming", and said: "The fact we can't do everything doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything."

An Illinois man was left with minor injuries following a crash Wednesday morning on U.S. 36.
An Illinois man was left with minor injuries following a crash Wednesday morning on U.S. 36.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol the mishap happened at 9:10 a.m. on eastbound U.S. 36, 0.1 of a mile west of County Road 271.
A 1999 Toyota 4-Runner was being driven west by 47-year-old Eyad A. Al-Swetti of Champaign, Ill. When Al-Swetti lost control of the Toyota on the ice-covered road, the vehicle went through the median and onto the highway's eastbound lanes where it overturned.
Al-Swetti, who was wearing a safety device, was taken by ambulance by Marion County Ambulance to Hannibal Regional Hospital.
While traffic was stopped on eastbound U.S. 36 because of the accident, a report was received from a man who said he was taking his father to the hospital with heart attack symptoms. The man was seeking a way around the traffic. At about that time law enforcement was beginning to allow traffic to pass through the area.

Social media monitoring started in the world of marketing, allowing companies to track what people were saying about their brands. But now, with software that allows users to scan huge volumes of public postings on social media, police are starting to embrace it as well.
Many police departments in Britain use a product sold by CrowdControlHQ. CEO James Leavesley says the company is in the business of monitoring "social media risk."
Companies can use the product to keep tabs on what employees say on social media or watch what others are saying. British police use it to stay in touch with the public in their jurisdictions — and as a means to detect trouble.
"By looking at keywords, it can track conversations," Leavesley says. "Vulnerable people" — who might be suicidal or abused, for example — "have been identified and reached out to."
In the U.S., a company called BrightPlanet sells a product that is more explicitly marketed as an investigative tool.
"If you had 1,500 gang members, like we do in Detroit — we have their handles, so we're able to identify what the gang members are doing," says BrightPlanet Vice President Tyson Johnson.
The tool, called BlueJay, is capable of scanning the entire "fire hose" of tweets, he says — far more than is available to search from the Twitter Web page. It can be configured to focus on tweets coming from certain places, and it can collect instant photographic evidence from a disturbance.
"If we'd been able to monitor real-time during the Boston Marathon, they'd have an immediate repository to interrogate, as soon as the bombs happened," Johnson says.
Location information depends on people leaving their geotagging option on, and only a small subset of Twitter users do. But when they do, BlueJay can track their movements over time on its map. For police, it's a potential gold mine of information.
"It's like a stakeout," says Vernon Keenan, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. "If persons are talking about certain criminal activity, it alerts us to it."
But some police hesitate to use these tools. Keenan says he understands that this is all public information — people tweet this information voluntarily — but he says that there are many public things the police should not monitor. He gives the example of a political rally.
"For law enforcement to be there and to take photographs of all the participants — monitoring — is not against the law, but it's not acceptable," Keenan says.
So even on the public Internet, Keenan requires his agents to get permission from a supervisor before they scan social media. They have to explain what they're monitoring and why.
Ryan Calo, a professor at the University of Washington law school who specializes in privacy issues, says police could run into trouble searching on the Internet.
"If officers were [scanning social media] on the basis of gender and then making decisions on that basis, you could run into constitutional scrutiny," Calo says. "And you'd be almost sure to if your keyword involved the word 'Muslim.' "
Calo says the law is fuzzier when it comes to other kinds of searches, such as political keywords. The law and the courts are far behind the technology, and no police department wants to become the test case. Calo says it's not clear whether it would be illegal for police to monitor for a keyword such as "Occupy," but that doesn't mean police should feel free to do so.
"Any police officer ought to sort of think through a kind of publicity principle, which is, 'If it were to get out that we did this exact search, what would the public reaction be?' " Calo says.
That's why Keenan is now campaigning to get more police departments to set up internal rules for social media scanning. He thinks the tools are useful, and he's worried that a public backlash could cause law enforcement to lose them.
At the annual meeting of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Keenan gave a speech warning his colleagues that social media monitoring is a "hot stove issue" for police.
"[And I] know what happens when you touch a hot stove — you get burned," he said.
And now to that other story I mentioned. It's no secret that police search social media. It's useful for investigations and if a posting is public, there's no need for a court order. But now, some police are using powerful social media monitoring tools for their searches. As NPR's Martin Kaste reports, the software is making even some cops nervous.
MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: When you search Twitter, you're not actually searching the whole thing. There are millions of tweets a day, and it's technically impossible to search all that from the Twitter page. But you can if you have something called Bluejay.
TYSON JOHNSON: Let's see what pops up.
KASTE: Tyson Johnson is vice president at the company that makes this product, which is meant for security operations and police departments. It lets them search the entire Twitter firehose, as Johnson calls it.
JOHNSON: You can imagine - if you had 1,500 gang members, like we do in Detroit, we have their handles so we're able to identify what the gang members are doing.
KASTE: And where they're doing it, at least the ones who leave their location settings on. He plugs in the search term "weed" and the pertinent tweets pop up on a map.
JOHNSON: You see how somebody has their GPS on here. So if we have a history of that person tweeting over, say, a month or two-month period, you can run it through another technology called Geotime; and it'll actually plot for you by time, date, location, where that individual goes.
KASTE: Now, keep in mind, this is not a case of the police asking the phone company for data. The information is already public. People are voluntarily tweeting what they think, where they are, and what they photographed. Social media monitoring actually comes out of the world of marketing. Companies use similar tools to track what people are saying about their brands. It's just that now, the police have discovered it.
Vernon Keenan is director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
VERNON KEENAN: It's like a stakeout, you know. If persons are talking about - you know, about criminal activity, it alerts us to it.
KASTE: But here's the thing. While the companies selling these services say the police should feel free to scan social media, some police are hesitant. Keenan is one of them.
KEENAN: What public can do, law enforcement cannot do.
KASTE: Yes, he says, tweets are public. But there are plenty of public things that the police are not supposed to monitor - say, political rallies.
KEENAN: For law enforcement to be there and to take photographs of all the participants, monitoring is not against the law. But it's not acceptable.
KASTE: So Keenan requires his agents to get a supervisor's permission before they monitor social media. They have to lay out what they're searching for, and why. It seems like overkill, forcing cops to ask permission just to search the public Internet. But cops are different. Ryan Calo is a professor at the University of Washington Law School. He says there are certain kinds of searches that a police officer should be careful of.
RYAN CALO: If officers were looking on the basis of gender and then making decisions on that basis, you could run into constitutional scrutiny. And you would be almost sure to, if your keyword involved the word Muslim.
KASTE: But beyond protected classes like race and religion, Calo says the law on this is pretty unclear. Police departments don't like to talk about their monitoring, and no one is eager to become a test case. Calo says there may be no legal barrier to the police scanning Twitter for political keywords - say, #occupy - but he says that doesn't mean they should.
CALO: Any police officer, you know, ought to sort of think through a kind of publicity principle; which is, if it were to get out that we did this exact search, what would the public reaction be, and what would the constitutional import be?
KASTE: Which brings us back to Vernon Keenan, at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He's been campaigning to get more police departments to set up rules for social media monitoring. He wants to avoid a backlash that might deprive cops of a useful tool. Last fall, he gave a speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, warning them that social media scanning was a kind of hot stove.
KEENAN: And know what happens when you touch a hot stove - you get burned.
KASTE: As you might guess from that audio quality, the speech was recorded by someone in the audience, and uploaded to the Internet. The funny thing is even before Keenan sat down, he knew he'd been recorded because one of his colleagues up on the dais had been monitoring Twitter.

Darrick Price - Help for the 'home' stretch
It began with a single sneeze.
Just before Christmas, my 11-year-old son exploded, "Achoo!" He has allergies, so I assumed the Christmas tree had triggered something. But then it happened again, and again, seven sneezes in five seconds. My boy's sudden fit was less a seven-sneeze salute and more a starting pistol signaling an evil flu bug to run its course through our family.
By Christmas Day, all three kids were running fevers, and we were a mess. My wife and I were able to nurse all the kids through it before we crashed and burned. On New Year's Eve, we toasted with Nyquil.
It had been more than a decade since I was that sick, and my recollection of four or five days is pretty hazy. In the fog of flu, we kept tabs on the kids, but in hindsight, I'm guessing they survived primarily on Christmas candy — not exactly first-rate parenting!
Nevertheless, I didn't worry too much about our children. We have a decent, safe home with great neighbors — a fact for which, in my fevered state, I was thankful. Whereas my wife and I were ill, we knew the kids were protected, and we were able rest more easily.
During those days, I was reminded just how much we depend upon one another. My brother and his wife brought us a meal, half the city of Dayton checked up on us, and a farmer down the way dropped off some extra firewood to make sure we were warm and cozy. These were good reminders that we live in a community and really do depend upon the kindness of others.
I am grateful and proud to be a homeowner. My wife and I have worked hard to achieve our share of the American dream. However, let me be clear. We have received a lot of help and support along the way. We were raised by parents who taught us the value of hard work, education, homeownership, community service and our responsibility to those around us.
Our parents co-signed our first mortgage, our friends helped us find our first jobs and our community helps us raise our kids.
In my work at Community Home Builders, I meet many people who work hard to become homeowners. Many are doing everything right. They simply need some help as they enter the home stretch. In that way, my clients are just like me: good, hardworking individuals and families trying to carve out a life and take care of their families. The only real difference is that, at just the right moment, I had a bit of help, fortune and opportunity.
So I care deeply about the work done by Community Home Builders. Every day, I get to play a part in supporting folks eager to make the dream of homeownership a reality. Every day, I get the chance to offer the same sort of support I so fortunately received.
Community Home Builders, established in 1990, is a private nonprofit in McMinnville, building homes and investing in rural communities. We partner with families and individuals to help them build their own homes, achieve long-term financial stability and learn valuable skills to aid them in home maintenance.
At the heart of our organization is our mutual self-help housing program. This program serves low- and moderate-income families by helping them build their own homes. During the course of construction, nine to 13 families work together to build an entire neighborhood of homes.
Participants receive mortgages with reduced payments through USDA. Each client works about 1,200 hours on homes, receives a great deal of construction training and takes a course in financial planning.
To participate in the program, clients must have decent credit and a steady income.
We have helped 184 families build homes in McMinnville, Gervais, Carlton, Amity, Sheridan and Lafayette, thus providing stable, safe and affordable homes for more than 700 of our neighbors, including nearly 400 children. In this process, Community Home Builders has injected more than $30 million into the local economy, where we are committed to working with nearby vendors, suppliers and contractors who bolster local jobs and businesses.
Over the next two years, we plan to build 22 more homes in Lafayette.
So many of us have leaned upon the community for support. Working together, we can help transform lives and strengthen our community. In fact, if we diligently take care of one another, there isn't much we won't be able to confront and overcome.
A new year is upon us. Let's move forward with purpose, seeking ways to help the people around us!
Whether you'd like to build your own home, know someone who might be a good fit for the program or would simply like to investigate ways you could help, please contact me at darrickp@communityhome builders.org or visit www.community homebuilders.org.
Guest writer Darrick Price has served as executive director of Community Home Builders for seven years. He is working on his dissertation for a doctoral degree in management at George Fox University. He lives in Dayton with his wife, Raylinda, and their three children. His hobbies include watching, chasing, wrestling, wrangling and corralling of kids — and napping.

(Franz) Joseph HaydnAustrian
Joseph Haydn, the most celebrated composer of his time, excelled in every genre and, along with Mozart and Beethoven, represents the high point of Viennese Classicism. His long career began amid the patronage of the late Baroque and concluded as the early flowerings of Romanticism began to sweep across Europe.
Born on 31 March 1732, the son of a master wheelwright and brother to two fellow professional musicians, Haydn's musical talents were recognised early. In 1739/40 he became a choirboy at the Stephansdom in Vienna and was given a musical education.
But for his father's refusal of consent, Haydn might have been made a castrato. In the event, his voice matured and in his 18th year he was compelled to leave. For eight tough years, Haydn was a freelance musician and teacher, composing in the evenings and learning as much as possible from Porpora and Metastasio.
In 1757, he gained his first regular appointment, as director of music for Count Morzin, and began to write his first symphonies. He also married, wedding Maria Keller on 26 November 1760 in an unhappy relationship that resulted in infidelities on both sides.
In 1761, Haydn was recruited as Vice-Kappellmeister to the Esterházy family and worked steadily to enlarge the orchestra. His treatment was generous, especially after Paul Anton was succeeded by Nicolaus Esterházy, and his status was more that of a professional employee than servant.
Haydn's compositional output for the court was largely instrumental in the 1760s and, apart from symphonies and concertos, included baryton trios for the Prince to play. On 3 March 1766, however, Kappellmeister Gregor Joseph Werner died and Haydn now inherited responsibilities for church music as well.
The summers were now spent at Nicolaus's new castle Esterháza, where a steadily increasing number of operas were staged. By 1778 the court was spending ten months of the year there and a regular opera season had been established. Between 1777 and 1783, Haydn wrote almost one new opera each year in addition to revising and altering new operas acquired from Vienna.
After 1783, Haydn wrote no new operas, devoting himself instead to the composition of instrumental music for publication. A new contract in 1779 had removed a clause of exclusivity, enabling Haydn's works to be heard outside the court. His first works appeared in print in Vienna in 1780 and Haydn also began to market his music in other countries.
Prestigious foreign commissions, such as those for the Paris Symphonies and Seven Last Words, were spreading Haydn's fame. In addition, he was no longer isolated at Esterháza, spending much of his time in Vienna where he had many friends and patrons. The strength of Haydn's friendship with Mozart remains uncertain, though the mutual admiration of each other's abilities is clear.
When Nicolaus Esterházy was succeeded by his son, Anton, the musical establishment was dissolved, allowing Haydn, on reduced salary, to move to Vienna. He immediately received invitation to travel to London, where he composed twelve symphonies for the promoter Salomon over the course of two trips in 1791-2 and 1794-5.
The London visits were the highpoint of Haydn's career and were particularly lucrative financially. When Anton was succeeded by Nicolaus II, Haydn was reappointed as Kappellmeister and returned to Vienna. His duties were primarily concerned with sacred vocal music and he wrote a number of masses and oratorios, including The Creation and The Seasons.
Haydn had suffered a serious illness in 1800-1 and, after completing his last major work in 1802, underwent a period of physical decline marked by a steady stream of honours, including an honorary citizenship of Vienna. The French bombardment of Vienna on 11-12 May 1809 hastened his end, though Napoleon stationed a guard of honour outside his house, and he died on 31 May.
Haydn is colloquially known as the 'Father of the Symphony' and of his 100 or so examples, around thirty are regularly performed. He also practically invented the String Quartet as a genre for serious compositional thought and composed a huge amount of important vocal music.

Cheryl fall-out a nightmare: Cowell
TV mogul Simon Cowell has described his fallout with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as a "nightmare" and admitted that "there was something not quite right" about US X Factor.
The duo's friendship came to an abrupt end when Cowell, 54, fired the singer from the US show just weeks into her high-profile job.
Cowell said that the judge, 31, who had "put on a bit of weight" and whose confidence had plummeted following the end of her marriage to Ashley Cole, had become unrecognisable.
Simon Cowell described his fallout with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as a "nightmare"
He told Radio Times magazine: "My falling-out with Cheryl came soon after her divorce and was a nightmare. We were all wound up.
"There was so much expectation on the show in America and I definitely wasn't myself. I was uptight."
He said of the former Girls Aloud star's appearance, complete with big hair, purple trousers and an orange frilly top on the first day filming the US show: "When I saw her I didn't recognise her. Literally. The hair and outfit were crazy. Just totally crazy.
"I asked her manager, 'What's she wearing, what's happened to her hair?' He was defensive about it. I haven't a clue why she turned up like that."
He added: "She'd put on a bit of weight, but not loads. That wasn't the issue. The only way I can describe it is that it wasn't Cheryl sitting in that seat. She'd lost her confidence."
Cowell admitted of the US X Factor, which ended after three series and falling ratings: "In hindsight I don't think that first day worked anyway. There was something not quite right about that show in America."
He said that Fernandez-Versini - who is back as a judge on the UK X Factor - "turned on" him when he mentioned her outfit and told her that her first few days on the US show had not gone well.
She later told him that he had "betrayed" her.
"If I could go back in time I would have kept her on the show. It was stupid doing what I did. I didn't sack her personally. That was the second-biggest mistake I made. When you're under pressure you make stupid mistakes," he said.
Fernandez-Versini has previously revealed that she sent Cowell a "very abusive" text message telling him: "F**k you, f**k the orange and purple outfit, f**k big hair, f**k you all. In fact f**k off."
Cowell told the magazine: "The worst it got between us was when she sent me a text message.
"It was like when you get a really horrible letter from an ex-girlfriend. The general tone was something along the lines of 'F**k you, you've hurt me, you've let me down, I can never forgive you'. I shrank."
He labelled the X Factor judge "beautiful" and "a tough little nut"..... "but not really my type", adding that the singer, like himself, is a "killer" with "steel" in her eyes because she knows how to get what she wants.
Fernandez-Versini said of her sacking: "In hindsight he was right because I wasn't myself. He wasn't himself either. He was under a lot of strain because it was a new venture.
"But he handled it wrongly - he got somebody else to sack me. I didn't want to talk to him at the time. I didn't want to talk to anybody. The sacking came on top of everything else, it was just the cherry on the cake."
She said that the music mogul - who got someone else to sack her - found confrontation difficult because he is a "good person", adding: "I've warned him never to let me down again. Just let him try."
But in a dig at her boss, she added: "He's more ruthless than me but I'm stronger in my opinions; I believe what I'm saying."
