Disease experts probe farm flood
Roads in the area near the infected farm remain closed
Lab statement
Experts searching for the source of the foot-and-mouth outbreak are looking into whether flooding may be to blame.
Chief veterinary officer Debby Reynolds said flooding was one possible means by which animals may have been infected on a farm near Guildford, Surrey.
Inspectors have yet to confirm whether the nearby Pirbright research site, which stocked the virus, is the source.
Earlier, the government said no new cases of the disease had been reported in the previous 24 hours.
Ms Reynolds said no decision had been made on vaccines for livestock, but 300,000 doses had been ordered from Merial - the vaccine manufacturer at Pirbright being investigated as a possible source of the outbreak.
Vaccine profits
When asked how much Merial would be paid for producing the vaccine, Ms Reynolds said: "I cannot give you the financial implications of that. Merial is the supplier of the UK vaccine bank."
She said the priority remained containment, adding: "It is important that no animals move in Great Britain."
FOOT-AND-MOUTH IN NUMBERS
97 cattle culled - 64 from infected premises, 33 from neighbouring premises
111,000 farms across UK affected by movement ban
That includes 10m cattle, 23m sheep and 5m pigs
N Ireland exempt from ban
Lives on hold
Scots push for early exports
Two facilities based at the Pirbright complex - the private firm Merial and the government-funded Institute for Animal Health - had been using a strain of the virus, for research and for vaccines.
That strain was then discovered at Wolford farm, four miles away, on Friday.
About 97 cows have been culled on the infected farm and neighbouring premises - most as a precaution.
Roger Pride, whose cattle were all culled, told the BBC: "We are still taking it in really...We can do work but it's just a case of waiting to hear the news."
Farmers' anger
On a visit to a disease control centre in Reigate earlier, Prime Minister Gordon Brown was asked about farmers' anger that a research site could be the cause of the outbreak.
He urged people to await the results of the inspection - expected on Tuesday - but said "every possible source" was being investigated, with up to 100 different farming establishments tested.
Defra has widened the size of the protection and surveillance zones
Both Merial and the institute have denied any breach in bio-security - Merial says it has "complete confidence" in its procedures - which are now being independently reviewed.
National Farmers' Union head Richard MacDonald said it would be a "body blow" if the vaccine centre was to blame, but also urged people to wait for the results of the inspection.
BBC science correspondent Pallab Ghosh said a flood on 20 July at Wolford farm - where the disease was confirmed on Friday - was one possible means by which animals could have become infected.
'Particular interest'
He said an investigation of cows' mouths suggested that they were infected sometime between 18 and 22 July. Computer models suggest it was unlikely to have been carried by the wind, he said.
Ms Reynolds said "all factors, including flooding and movements" were being investigated.
"There is a particular interest in a particular area of the farm where there was some flood water," she added.
FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
Foot-and-mouth is a highly contagious viral disease which affects cattle
Symptoms include fever, lesions in the mouth and lameness
The disease only crosses the species barrier from cattle to human with very great difficulty
The disease in humans is mild, short-lived and requires no medical treatment
What is foot-and-mouth?
There have also been questions about the Institute of Animal Health - which has been undergoing a £121m redevelopment, following a critical report in 2002. Last year MPs were told there were concerns about cuts to its funding.
But the former head of the institute, Alex Donaldson, said any buildings where the virus was handled met international standards of containment.
He added: "This is the last thing anyone working at Pirbright would want. People are devoting their scientific activities to controlling and preventing foot and mouth disease, not trying to create outbreaks."
Protection and surveillance zones covering farms in the area have been expanded to 10km (6.2 miles).
Footpath fears
But there has been some criticism that footpaths remain open in the area.
Conservative leader David Cameron said: "Of course we want the countryside to be open for business but within the exclusion zone it's very important that people don't actually walk from farm to farm, otherwise there will be a risk of spreading it."
Stephen Bowers, who owns a smallholding on the edge of the exclusion zone, also said bridleways were open and wild deer were freely moving across the area.
Two sites on the Pirbright complex are being investigated
But Ms Reynolds said: "Only on the infected premises, and based on veterinary advice, do we always shut footpaths."
She said "some parks, safari parks and other wildlife centres" had closed paths as a precaution, but Defra was not advising that such action was necessary.
The government has banned the movement of all livestock in England, Scotland and Wales.
Meanwhile, the European Commission has formalised a ban on British exports of meat, milk products and live animals. Northern Ireland, which has imposed a ban on all cattle, sheep and pigs from Britain, has been excluded.
Supermarkets in the UK have said they are not expecting any shortages of meat following the outbreak.
The outbreak in 2001 led to between 6.5 million and 10 million animals being destroyed and cost as much as £8.5bn.
Defra has set up a helpline in response to the latest outbreak on 08459 335577.

Fool Me Thrice by Dean Conan (Harold Phifer)
Charlie Mo is a young skirt-chaser that inherited a small fortune from his deceased parents. He relished being a womanizer with an army of Gold-Diggers until he lost everything that was left to him. Being down on his luck, Charlie Mo builds a close bond with his boss and closest friend, Tin Can, that gives him hope he can turn his life around.
But for every positive step Charlie Mo makes costs him three steps backwards. It takes getting suckered one last time for Charlie Mo to find Real love, Real character, and realize the one who Fools him the most.
Dean Conan grew up in Atlanta with a single mom and an absent father. It was his relationship with his mother that strengthen his character as a gentleman. His mother moonlighted as a blues singer during Dean early years. She would take little Dean to night clubs as her way of working and keep an eye on her son. It was these seedy bars that inspired Dean Conan to go into show-business. When Hollywood failed to embrace him Dean tried to break into the modeling and the famous male revue. Yet, Dean Conan didn't have quite the physique nor the flair to remain in men fashion so he took to the mic as a Stand-up comic. It didn't take long for Dean to realize that he didn't have quite the funny bone that brought audiences to knee slapping laughter. But Dean never shied away from attention so he stepped on the Broadway stage and was swiftly booted from all major shows due to poor performances and lack of skills. Finally, Dean Conan decided to pick up a pen and write fictional stories about his love life, friendships, and international travels.

Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at A Beach Bar by Harold Phifer
For more than fifty years, Harold Phifer's childhood living conditions remained a secret, even from those who thought they knew him best. No one knew about his past growing up with a mother who suffered from mental illness; a greedy aunt; a mindless and spoiled older brother; an absent father.
It wasn't until an explosion in Afghanistan that his memory was blasted back into focus. This book is the result of a long, cathartic chat with a stranger at a beach bar, where Harold finally found some peace.

Sleep Walking Out Of Afghanistan: Walking It All Back by Harold Phifer
Harold Phifer was living a life that he was hiding from everyone–including himself. Then he met a retiree in Thailand who cracked that secret open. Finally listened to, and guided by the stranger's on-target, thoughtful questions, Phifer spoke for the first time of his near-death experience while flashing back to his dysfunctional past.
Phifer's memoir, Sleep Walking Out of Afghanistan: Walking It All Back does not shy away from the stark details of childhood bullying, family tension, schizophrenia, and feeling like an outsider. At the same time, Phifer expertly keeps the reader turning the pages by finding the knee-slapping comedy within the darkness. Anyone who enjoys a good thrill ride, sharp wit, and fast-paced self-reflection will appreciate Sleep Walking Out of Afghanistan.

Introduction Message From Author Harold Phifer: Afghanistan is a war-torn country that's known for car bombs and suicide attacks. What is amazing about it is the fact that it has almost no factories, industries, and chemical plants—yet explosions are as common as catching a cold!
I found myself caught in the middle of the biggest vehicle explosion to ever hit Afghanistan. While dealing with injuries and destruction, my mind kept spinning out of control from horror to horror. Most of it revolved around my dysfunctional past.
I did my best to replay my personal ordeals and the reactions of the people around me as accurately as possible. However, as I feared for my life, my complete history of existence kept bouncing back and forth in and out of my head.
Nothing about Afghanistan is comparable to anything that the average person can relate to or may have experienced. I tried to give a fair account of life as a foreign worker surrounded by unknown terrorists.
After being in Afghanistan as a contractor, I realized that only the fools, the desperate, and the greedy dare to return. Unfortunately, I fall into one or more of those categories. None of the events I experienced was a laughing matter, and I didn't try to minimize any of my quests to survive.
The ventures of my life bounced like a yo-yo without a knot as I tried to come to grips with being at death's door. Once the characters are established, you will find that most of my past is comically meshed together with abnormal circumstances. My stories take you through my highs and lows, while perhaps giving you some of the best laughter you will ever get from a book.
The journey started out in the tropical country of Thailand, where I was living a carefree life with no worries or drama. By happenstance, I came across another retiree named Dylan. He took advantage of my drunken state while easily coercing me to dive into my life history. It was a life that I buried deep below the surface—away from my kids, family, friends, coworkers, and mainly myself.
After being forced to fight for my life, I had an avalanche of past events come gushing out from every possible angle. Dylan helped open a door that took him and me on a whirlwind tour that neither of us had ever expected or imagined.
There are so many twists and turns that feed into other stories or episodes. These features take place in different areas: Thailand, Afghanistan, Detroit, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Memphis, Houston, and back to Thailand.
Like most confused males, I had many good and bad relationships with the opposite sex. However, I saw no real value in talking about my normal or balanced connections. Instead, I shared my many failures, embarrassments, and heartbreaks with the readers because it's just good entertainment and also a major part of my development. No doubt that you will find them quite unusual and amusing as well.
Each brief story is sure to affect you differently than the previous one. Dealing with what I viewed as imminent death helped me bring closure to where I was once open and exposed.
This book touches on the sad, shocking, and schizophrenic behaviors that surrounded me until later in my adulthood. I tried to ratchet down those experiences with my sense of humor and my creative outtakes.
You will meet both male and female bullies throughout the book. You will get to follow my difficult and awkward approach to meet my dad. And finally, you will witness my hidden drive just to be loved and accepted.
I hope that readers like you will desire to go back to these pages more than once. You may find yourself identifying with many of the events or characters. Hopefully, some of the stories will stick with you like nothing you have ever read or heard before.

RYU Ramen is not on the top 10 ramen spots in town according to Spot.ph, but in my opinion, for their quality of ramen and their price point, they should be in that list.
One thing I liked about their Tantanmen is that the serving size is quite big compared to Nomama Artisanal Ramen's Tantanmen. But comparing the two, Nomama's Tantanmen is the clear winner. However, one thing I disliked about RYU Ramen's Tantanmen is the fact that the Aji Tamago drowned in the broth. I couldn't see it, hence my phone's camera couldn't see it as well. I had to swirl the broth and rummage underneath the noodles. The presentation is a bit off. Also, the seaweed plastered on the walls of the bowl were drenched already, and almost slipping under the broth.
My friend ordered the Tamanegi for our group to share. These are fried vegetable that have lessened the spiciness level of our Tantanmen and neutralized our palettes, thus making us crave for more ramen!
Overall, serving size and price wise, RYU Ramen is a "dragon" that can compete in the ramen spots in town, hence the name "RYU".
(I bet you can now see how I much I love Ramen. Check my Guide to Ramen Joints.

On December 5th, Shooters Snooker Club in Toronto held its last Amateur 9-ball event of 2015. SL4 to SL9 players had been anticipating this event for almost a month, since Waleed Mukhtar became Shooters' youngest amateur winner on November 8.
Although many players were unable to attend due to holiday shopping and other commitments, 38 talented amateurs showed up to compete for a prize pool that included $500 added by Shooters. To make it more convenient for the players, tournament organizers decided to make it an epic one-day event. It was a truly sleepless night of pool battles.
Jackson Revell fought hard through the A-side, going undefeated to secure himself a spot in the finals. On the other side, Jun Briones anxiously awaited the winner of the B-side semifinal between Froland Magsanoc and Kevin Oliveira. Froland defeated Kevin, but his journey back to the A-side finals came to an end by Jun.
Jackson Revell and Jun Briones faced off in the finals of this long one-day event. The true double elimination format required Jun to win two matches against Jackson in order to claim victory. However, Jackson was not to be denied. Jackson Revell's (SL5) spectacular shooting led him to become the first SL5 or under to win the amateur event this year.
This event was a true test of skill and endurance as matches took place from Saturday morning to the early hours of Sunday morning. It also marked the halfway point of the Shooters Amateur 9-ball tour, with 4 events remaining until the April 16/17 finale with $1,500 added.
Please check the Shooters Snookerclub Facebook page and www.thepoolscene.com for dates and details for all upcoming tournaments. To register, please contact Peter Chin at (416)750-7787.


If you own a commercial building, replacement cost coverage is needed. Although cost estimators are available, we recommend that you secure an appraisal from a third party to accurately determine the current replacement cost of the building. Determining the proper amount of coverage is critical to any insurance program.
Most commercial property policies and homeowners insurance policies exclude flood as a covered cause of loss. A separate policy must be purchased to protect you from damage due to a flood. Coverage is available through the National Flood Insurance Program and other private insurance companies.


As a designated UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, Macau has so much good food to try. One area our city excels in is desserts and snacks. Local dessert houses are deliciously fulfilling and affordable! In addition, many of these street desserts come with a special ingredient called 'history' and 'heritage' which has permeated them over time. When you take a bite you not only experience sweetness but also the rich culture of our city. Here are five local desserts to sink your sweet teeth into!
This one's a hard one to track down, but once you find it you'll be back for sure. Hong Heng is overflowing with history and has been operating since 1869 – traditions and a menu passed down through generations. The item that sells out the most is their homemade coconut ice cream, made from coconut water, milk, and some coconut meat. This dessert is completely sugar-free with no preservatives also so it's pretty diet-friendly!
This Macau snack/dessert is so iconic that we reckon it should be on the national flag, or at least on a commemorative stamp! There are not many pairings better than the delectable crispy crust and the creamy custard filling – they definitely satiate a craving at any time of the day. We recommend Lord Stow's Portuguese egg tarts, but take note you may have to wait in a long queue (and it will be worth it). If you don't want to wait, most local bakeries do their own version which tastes just as great!
This is another classic and nostalgic dessert. You can smell them as you walk around the streets of Macau – the milky sweet aroma tempting you to buy one. While the classic ball-shaped ones (also known as egg puffs, bubble waffles, eggettes or in Cantonese, Gai Daan Jai) are the cutest, the waffles are more substantial. With the waffles, you can have generous servings of peanut butter and condensed milk soaked inside. Find these all over Macau, such as on the way to Senado Square at Hing Yi stall, one of the oldest stalls serving them in Macau, or look for them up the path to St. Dominic's Church. Simply follow your nose!
Located in a narrow alleyway, this hidden gem is worth the adventure that comes with it. Firma U Tac Hong screams tofu only serves tofu and they have a lot of it! You can get two versions of Dou Fu Fa (soybean pudding) served either hot or cold. The pudding is accompanied with either evaporated milk or syrup. The magic begins when you take your spoon and scoop up your first bite – the sensational smoothness of the tofu never disappoints. They also serve soybean drinks but due to the popularity and demand, these may or not be available.
The Koi Kei Bakery logo is on shopping bags all over Macau – they are famous for their exceptionally yummy souvenirs and signature treats. Their almond cookies are their most famous. These delicacies are handmade and roasted over charcoal oven then tossed over a basket to dry out and be eaten. Want a free sample? Make your way through the crowded pathway to St. Paul Ruins and you will never come back hungry, as there will be loads of Almond Cookies to try alongside beef jerky and more – it's like a buffet of samples. Grab a box and share your blessings with your families back home – sharing is caring!


Dissolve sugar in lemon juice in, naturally, a Collins glass. Add ice, gin and fill the balance with soda water. Stir with swizzle stick or cocktail spoon, add lemon wedge and a very optional maraschino cherry as garnish.
As you can see, we've left a considerable amount of wiggle room here. If you like your drinks very tart, use two ounces of lemon juice and one teaspoon of sugar. If you have a slight sweet-tooth like we do, use just one ounce of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of superfine sugar. It's still fairly tart but not alarmingly so, and those two teaspoons of sugar only have 32 calories, about half of what you'd get out of half a can of soda. Of course, the gin has more.

You still can't believe what MLB says about 2020's revenues
A little over a month ago, I wrote a piece titled "You can't trust MLB's crying poor," with the thinking being that the league's discussion of the debt that they had accrued and the losses they suffered wasn't in line with the reality of either situation. Part of the reason for writing that was not just to tackle the idea head-on at the moment, but also because it was necessary to understand what was happening in that moment in order to also understand what was to come.
One of those items in the "what was to come" bucket turned out to be "Bill Madden columns," as he's been repeating back whatever he's told by MLB clubs about finances and debt for the last month-and-a-half. In October, he wrote that this offseason will be a "bloodbath" for MLB players in a column in which he repeated the kinds of revenue loss claims that caused me to write a rebuttal in the first place:

Waco Curves II
Series: Niwot Sculpture Park | Story 5

"Waco Curves II" by artist Rollin Karg
This article continues a monthly series about the artworks and artists chosen for Community Corner at Sculpture Park at the corner of 79th Street and Niwot Road.
This month's feature is "Waco Curves II" by artist Rollin Karg. This tall steel and blown glass structure is the most colorful sculpture currently on display, and the only one in the park which features glass. The sculpture is now a permanent resident at the park - after it was bought by the Burrell Family Foundation and generously donated back to Niwot through the Niwot Cultural Arts Association.
Rollin Karg grew up with men who worked with their hands. His father was a carpenter. One grandfather was in construction, the other a tool-and-die man who could make things out of junk. His family wanted him to work more with his brain. Karg studied business for a time at Wichita State University and then launched an industrial engineering and sales career working with aircraft and other manufacturers. All the while, he liked being creative, dabbling in wood, metal and other craft work.
Although Karg spent the first part of his career as an industrial engineer, after exploring woodworking, pottery and photography, he began to focus his artistic efforts on what he had decided to be his true artistic purpose – glassblowing. He became a full-time glass artist in 1983 and has quickly gained fame for his contribution to the world of glass art. He has received a slew of awards in competitions and exhibitions across the United States.
Karg prefers to use traditional techniques of glassmaking that are thousands of years old. That said, he also adds his own inventive techniques to each project. He creates massive works of art, sometimes taller than 14 feet, through the use of a five-foot blowpipe.
He is especially well known for his creative use of dichroic colors – colors which convey one color while reflecting another – in his glass art. Over the years he honed his skills and soon became well known within the art glass world for deftly mixing traditional glass making techniques with his own, more modern touches.
In the same year he became enamored with glass work, he opened his studio and gallery, Karg Art Glass, in Kechi, Kan. His works started as paperweights, sculptures, bowls and perfume bottles, and have since expanded skyward. "Waco Curves II" is a prime example of Karg's expansive quality and unconventional mixing of media and technique.
Karg's works can be seen in galleries and exhibitions across the United States, and at his studio in Kechi, a small community just north of Wichita. His sculpture, "Waco Curves II," is on permanent display at Niwot Community Corner at Sculpture Park. For more information visit http://www.niwot.com/sculpture and http://www.rollinkarg.com.

Q: How to time function calls in OpenLayers? We have an existing application that has a function that wraps the OpenLayers.Layer.Vector constructor, which gets its layer info from a KML source over http.  Once this function completes, I need to run another function which will read some of the layers data from the map object.
Normally in JavaScript I would of course use a callback when executing a remote AJAX call like this.  But in this case -- perhaps because I'm still pretty new to JavaScript -- I don't know how to delay the execution of my function until the Vector constructor is done.  There doesn't seem to be any ability to pass a callback to the OpenLayers.Layer.Vector constructor. Any suggestions?  Thanks.
[Addendum]
How do I add the listener to the layer before the KML is loaded?
var newLay = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector(name, {
    displayInLayerSwitcher: true,
    visibility: visible,
    styleMap: MapLayers.styleMaps.polygonMap,
    strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
    protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
        url: url,
        format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
            maxDepth: 2,
            extractAttributes: true,
            extractStyles: useStyles
        })
    })
});

function loadEndListener() {
  alert('loading ended);
}

var events = new OpenLayers.Events(newLay);
events.on({"loadend": loadEndListener});

A: You can use register event loadend on your layer. More on:
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Events-js.html#OpenLayers.Events.on
You should call this that:
newLay.events.on({"loadend":loadEndListener});

I make it a long time ago, but probably that should work. On another site I found that should be tilesloaded listener, but I don't check it.
I'm sorry that so late, but I have a free.

A: Decided to bail on this after finding too many people having trouble with loadend working.  I'm going to simply issue another server call rather than trying to figure out when my kml layer is finished loading.  Thanks.

A look @ the GM AUTOnomy Concept Vehicle click on the car.
h2fc.com
DETROIT (Jan. 7, 2002) — AUTOnomy, a futuristic General Motors Corp. concept vehicle, so profoundly changes the automotive industry that GM is seeking 24 patents covering business models, technologies and manufacturing processes related to the concept.
"AUTOnomy is more than just a hot new concept car, it's the beginning of a revolution in how automobiles are designed, built and used," said Larry Burns, GM's Vice President of Research and Development and Planning. "If our vision of the future is correct — and we think it is — vehicles such as AUTOnomy will ultimately reinvent the automobile and our entire industry."
This new technology may well transform the entire customer experience — from the way the vehicle is driven, to the body (or bodies) the customer chooses to mount on the chassis. Such flexibility allows the vehicle to adapt to changing lifestyles and needs around the world, at an affordable price.
Inherent in the AUTOnomy concept — the world's first vehicle designed completely around a fuel cell propulsion system — are the seeds of a profoundly different automotive enterprise. Indeed, AUTOnomy is as much a cutting-edge business idea as it is an imaginative vehicle concept.
AUTOnomy's flexible design and technological advances offer the promise of more affordable fuel cell vehicles, and the fuel itself — hydrogen — is the most abundant element in the universe. So, how will the transition to hydrogen-fed vehicles occur?
For starters, AUTOnomy could help simplify the manufacturing process with sophisticated modular assembly and accelerated vehicle development. This would be accomplished, in part, by decoupling the body and chassis in the manufacturing process.
Millions of chassis — which GM calls "skateboards" — could be manufactured to achieve economies of scale, reducing the cost of the fuel cell system. Small satellite assembly plants could make unique bodies for both emerging and established markets. These plants could operate profitably and at niche volumes — an automotive oxymoron today.
"A flexible architecture, such as the AUTOnomy's, obviously offers many advantages to our customers," Burns said. "But it also would help shorten production time and be more responsive to global market needs."
The modularity would improve quality. Warranty costs could conceivably go down. Planning could become easier.
Take powertrains, for example. Typically, to amortize the heavy investment costs, companies can't afford to update engine designs, sometimes for as long as 20 years. Companies get locked into a certain mix of four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines. It's difficult to be flexible and yet meet regulatory and market demands. In contrast, fuel cells are, in simplest terms, a stack of plates.
"If you need to double the kilowatt output, you double the number of plates in the stack," Burns explained. "It's very easy to scale up or down."
The skateboard would also afford GM maximum flexibility. It could likely only vary in length — short, medium and long. Issues of safety, stiffness and ride-and-handling would not have to be re-engineered to accommodate different body types.
"You could envision a body docking onto this drivable skateboard and the interface is just a software interface, much like a laptop docks into a docking station," Burns said. "So you could steer by wire, brake by wire, or control your ride and handling by wire."
Furthermore, the feeling of the vehicle's steering, chassis and brakes, controlled simply through software, could make each GM brand even more distinctive, Burns said, "making a Chevy a Chevy, a Buick a Buick and a Cadillac a Cadillac."
The AUTOnomy concept also provides tremendous freedom from mechanical components and interfaces and the limitations those components place on a product's design.
"You don't have to design around exhaust, steering and braking systems with their associated mechanical linkages for braking systems," Burns said." Because you can handle all of this by wire, it allows you to lengthen or widen the chassis-'skateboard' without having to worry about lengthening all these mechanical couplings. That's where the cost savings and development speed would come into play, helping make fuel cell electric vehicles potentially affordable."
AUTOnomy, with its hydrogen-fed fuel cell, may be especially attractive in less developed nations, where the extensive gasoline infrastructure has not yet been built. Emerging markets might be able to launch directly into a hydrogen economy, much as China's telecommunications system went directly to wireless telephones, skipping traditional land line-type systems altogether. By generating hydrogen from the natural gas used to heat a home, a person's dwelling might become the equivalent of today's gas station. Conversely, vehicles could be used to provide standby or backup power to homes or businesses.
Customer subscription services could be delivered to the vehicle via satellite, such as mobile diagnostics and software upgrades, hands-free communication, digital radio, navigation services and other features that haven't even been imagined. Car loans might be extended from six years to 20 years, Burns added.
"Clearly, this is an experimental idea," he said. "This is a global vision because GM and its alliance partners have an unparalleled ability to design and build vehicles all over the world."

AUTOnomy Concept Allows Designers to Think Outside the Box
DETROIT (Jan. 7, 2002) — Starting now, vehicle design is officially wide open.
Click on image for a larger view
All the working parts of General Motors' AUTOnomy concept vehicle are sandwiched in the skateboard-like chassis, and the application of a new technology eliminates foot pedals, the instrument panel and the steering column. Now, the driver can sit anywhere in the vehicle.
"The fusion of fuel cells and x-by-wire technology, which replaces mechanical systems with electronic ones, opens the door to tremendous styling and design opportunities," said Wayne Cherry, GM's Vice President of Design. "It's design freedom without constraints."
By themselves, fuel cells aren't a new story. But every fuel cell vehicle shown so far has attempted to stuff the fuel cell stack, hydrogen storage unit and electric motors into the existing internal combustion architecture, often at the expense of passenger space and payload capacity.
That design goes back to the earliest days of the internal combustion engine. The cylinders needed to be together in one or two compact rows to share camshafts and other components. The engine needed to be positioned so that it had access to an abundant supply of fresh, cool air, which almost always meant the front box. And the driver needed to be able to see over it.
"But a fuel cell stack can be spread around the vehicle and can take any shape you might imagine," said Christopher Borroni-Bird, head of GM's new Design and Technology Fusion Group and program manager of the AUTOnomy concept. "It doesn't have to be bunched up like the cylinders of an internal combustion engine."
Inside the vehicle, a driver doesn't have to be seated within a comfortable reach of the pedals, because there aren't any. A hand-operated steering guide replaces the traditional foot pedals, instrument panel and steering column, modeling, in some ways, how planes, motorcycles and snowmobiles operate. Everything the driver needs is incorporated into an adjustable steering guide called the X-drive.
"Instead of a steering column, the steering guide might be mounted on a swivel arm that affixes to the floor in the center of the vehicle," Cherry explained. "It kind of reminds me of how airplane engineers package those small video monitors in the armrest of the seat. They fold out in front of you, but they are stored in the armrest."
For instance, a driver could sit in a center driving position when driving alone, and move to accommodate passengers. Or a European driver could switch from left-drive to right-drive after crossing the Chunnel from France into England.
The new architecture also enables enhanced safety. For example, seat placement can improve side-impact protection and the instrument panel can be replaced with a bulkhead optimized for crash protection. The GM "skateboard" creates an unusually low center of gravity, without sacrificing ground clearance. This allows for superior handling, while resisting rollover forces, even with the tallest body attached. In the event of a crash, the stiff skateboard would absorb most of the crash forces, helping to prevent passenger compartment intrusion that can occur with today's internal combustion engines, steering columns and foot pedals.
On the exterior, designers can make any variety of bodies for this vehicle, from a one-seat commuter to a seven-seat minivan and everything in between. In India, it might be an open-sided, 10-passenger jitney.
In China, it might be a stake truck for hauling livestock. Customers also would have the ability to change bodies, as their needs change over the 20-year life expectancy of a chassis - even if their needs change on a weekly basis.
The GM AUTOnomy concept, revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, is a sleek and futuristic two-seat roadster, inspired by motorcycle and fighter jet design.
Cherry and his design staff have been dreaming for years of revisiting a big vision statement, in the vein of GM's renowned Firebird series of the 1950s, which was inspired by the post-war aviation boom. Firebird I, II and III had long fuselages, cockpits and wings and were powered by gas turbine engines.
"When we were first presented with the power of this idea," Cherry said, "it was so exhilarating and liberating. Imagine having no constraints, the freedom to do any shape you want. Then, for a time, our designers had the artistic equivalent of writer's block. We had always worked with some boundaries. Eventually, we got past that."
The creative process was exhausting and, at times, ambiguous, and yet exhilarating, and Cherry is happy his team went through that.
"When you get that kind of creative tension, you get a wealth of ideas," Cherry added. "Remember, this is just the first iteration. There are a number of body styles to create in the future."
While the skateboard, or chassis, might be common, the body styles would be even more unique, leading to even further brand differentiation.
Brand character can be tailored not only by the body's shape, but also by the software that determines driving characteristics, such as braking, cornering and acceleration.
AUTOnomy runs on a fuel cell adapted from GM's existing HydroGen III fuel cell system. The whole package fits within a 6-inch chassis, a dimension that will ultimately be determined by the state of hydrogen storage technology. A single docking connection, or port, on the chassis provides a quick and convenient way to hook up the body's power, control, heating and cooling systems.
"When fuel cells and drive-by-wire are combined, it enables us to build and design new kinds of vehicles," Cherry said. "Until now, these technologies have been demonstrated as if they were an end in themselves.
But we look at this technology as enabling great design. "In the end, people are passionate about their cars and trucks and the potential of AUTOnomy ought to quicken their pulse. I believe we are beginning an exciting, new chapter in automotive design."
Hydrogen in, Water Out — Clearly, the AUTOnomy is Clean
DETROIT (Jan. 7, 2001) — The hydrogen-powered future just became easier to imagine with the introduction of General Motors' AUTOnomy concept vehicle. It would run cleaner, use fewer resources and conceivably last twice as long as conventional vehicles.
Fuel cell vehicles consume hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, and emit only water vapor and heat. Emissions such as carbon dioxide are removed from the picture.
However, AUTOnomy is much more than just a clean air vehicle. The GM concept provides much more value than just zero emissions and twice the fuel economy.
"Customers want better fuel economy and a cleaner environment," said Larry Burns, GM's Vice President of Research and Development and Planning. "However, they do not expect to pay more for sustainable mobility. It is incumbent on the auto industry to invent vehicles that are sustainable but do not impose tradeoffs on customers."
Government also plays a critical role, Burns said. Consumer tax incentives, for instance, would help overcome the higher initial costs of advanced technologies and create consumer demand for vehicles that include them, he said.
"AUTOnomy would also be attractive for benefits people don't even associate with fuel cells," Burns added. "It would provide very affordable all-wheel drive, unprecedented safety and comfort, re-configurable interiors, multiple bodies for differing needs, no oil changes, maintenance worries or trips to the gas station."
The chassis also could serve as a mobile energy source, providing heat and electricity for your home, he said.
"That's what will make fuel cell vehicles sell, not the environmental benefits alone. That's what we need to move to a hydrogen economy and the day when the automobile is completely removed from the environmental equation," Burns said.
The skateboard chassis, which includes the propulsion system, fuel storage, brakes, steering and other critical systems, is intended to last up to 20 years.
With a longer service life, AUTOnomy will reduce manufacturing waste and will potentially be easier to recover and recycle than today's vehicles. The body also can be made of recycled materials.
The drive-by-wire technology replaces mechanical systems with electronic ones, eliminating the need for engine oil, transmission fluid or brake fluid. That would further reduce the environmental impact of the automobile.
"Long term, this is the best solution for customers, government, industry and environmentalists," Burns said. "Policy makers in the U.S. and around the world need to give serious consideration to the power of an idea such as AUTOnomy. It is a catalyst for bringing about a hydrogen economy.
"People will buy these cars because they are passionate about them and they offer a better value than today's technology."

Congressman backs fuel cell technology for U.S.
By:Bill Doak, Editor February 21, 2002
First District Congressman John B. Larson, back in the district to address a rally of veterans in Newington and speak with South End seniors about Social Security and prescription drug costs, sat down to an interview with the Gazette Wednesday.
As he detailed some of the intricate political gamesmanship on the floor of the House of Representatives, the congressman took the opportunity to explain his recent vote in favor of campaign finance reform, said he favors giving government relief to insurance companies - even though unlikely to be approved - and wants to hold off reforming accounting practices in the wake of Enron's bankruptcy.
With the country at war in Afghanistan, and dealing with both international and domestic issues, the two-term East Hartford Democrat not only seems more at ease in discussing the ins and outs of life in the Beltway he appears invigorated by the quickened pace of politics and policy in Washington D.C.
"Everyone is four-square behind Powell, Cheney and President Bush," said Larson. "That being said, domestically everyone still has a conflicting agenda."
For example, gone are the campaign promises of prescription drug reforms prior to September 11, Larson had to tell seniors. And gone as well is deficit reduction and any talk of having a "lock box" to protect Social Security.
Issues such as homeland security and dealing with the international community during a time of crisis and war have replaced the usual rhetoric, he said.
But the technology of the war has also brought a boost to the local defense industry, and made America's allies sit up and take notice. As U.S. Rep. Larson is a member of the Science Committee, he has an inside view of technology which has again made this country the envy of other nations. Technology, he believes, can get us out of future conflicts - or even prevent them before they start.
Larson notes the prevalence of Saudi nationals among the four terrorist teams September 11.
"Oil. This has been an addiction," said Larson. "American troops are camped out on Saudi Arabian soil next to Mecca to make sure there is control over their natural resource. The king collects the wealth from the oil while you have this unbelievable poverty and large groups left out of the mainstream. That was the heart of Senator Joe Lieberman's speech," calling for a more compassionate approach to resolving tensions in the Middle East, Larson related.
"The US has to figure out a way to make us energy independent."
The Congressman wants to use the military action to underscore his point on the need to wean American dependence from foreign oil. He is pushing a "hydrogen" economy based on fuel cells, power generating devices which chemically break down natural gas into water, extracting hydrogen for fuel.
"This technology is not 20 years away, it is two years away," Larson stated. Such fuel cells ought to be used on local buses, such as those using the planned New Britain-Hartford busway. "There should also be trolley-like buses powered by fuel cells."
Government should also create a market by holding a competition amongst the top three auto makers, the congressman added, and cap future oil reserves for "future generations" to use in case of an emergency.
Larson said the fuel cell development could help create a "critical mass" centered in the Connecticut River valley.
"This is the way to go. And it will foster the use of fuel cells in other countries as well."
Noting the new configuration of the First Congressional District, which Larson describes as a "backwards C or a crab," the congressman now counts among his constituencies Bradley International Airport, part of the city of Torrington, part of Middletown and the north half of Glastonbury.
"I consider the whole city as being in my district," said Larson.
The congressman said he "feels very lucky" that the district remains overwhelmingly Democratic. Asked if he would entertain a run for Senate, the former East Hartford teacher said he is "very content" in his current role in Washington D.C.
The congressman, who also co-owned an East Hartford insurance agency, also said he hopes to revisit a reform package to help the insurance industry obtain some government relief from major catastrophes it now faces during a time of possible terrorism and war.
"The defense department says it is 100 percent certain September 11 will happen again. Now, actuaries have to consider that when they underwrite property. How do you do that in New York City, where the cost of September 11 is already $40 billion?"

IPL 13: Bumrah has taken over the mantle from Malinga, says Pollard
Dubai [UAE], October 19 (ANI): Jasprit Bumrah has been a mainstay in Mumbai Indians' bowling attack, and all-rounder Kieron Pollard feels that the Indian pacer has taken over the mantle from Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga.
Malinga had opted out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to personal reasons. The Sri Lankan pacer was a key cog in the bowling wheel of Mumbai Indians.
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) defeated Mumbai Indians after the end of two back-to-back Super Overs at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
However, in the first super over Bumrah had conceded just five runs and Mumbai Indians looked set for a comfortable victory but Mohammad Shami turned the tide and took the game into another super over"He's (Bumrah) a world-class cricketer. He has been number one in a couple of formats for a long period of time. He has learned and has gone leaps and bounds for us at Mumbai Indians in a run of while and so. We have comfort in him. A couple of years ago, we had a fit and fair Lasith Malinga and he (Bumrah) has taken over that mantle now and so," said Pollard during the post-match press conference.
In the first Super Over, Rohit Sharma and Quinton De Kock came out to bat and were not able to take the team over the line. In the second Super Over, Pollard helped Mumbai Indians score 11 runs.
"Obviously there are decision-makers to make the decision, you know we can look at those things and say that's where we lost the game but we played a very good game of cricket. We batted well and getting to 170 odd and bringing the game to the last over," said Pollard.
Defending champions Mumbai Indians are at second spot with 12 points, two points short of front-runner Delhi Capitals.
"Just a matter of improvement, each and every time we step on the cricket field is to improve and to do better. We will look back and analyse the game and we will come up with a better plan and hopefully get two points in the next game," said the all-rounder.
Mumbai Indians will next lock horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday. (ANI)

Q: Android Studio: android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView Error I am currently having this error. I am using API 21 and I know some folks here suggested to upgrade it to API 22 base on previous questions but the tutorial(Slidenerd of Youtube) I am following is using API 21 and did not encountered any errors like this. Weird thing also because my RecyclerView in emulator is just working fine as expected in his tutorial and I don't why this error keeps popping up. Thanks !

A: It is not an error. Because the constructor is getting called while viewing the layout. Normally there are some operations which are going to be executed. To avoid this there is View.isInEditMode().
Normally you would use it like this
public Constructor(){
  if(View.isInEditMode())
    return;
}

A: If I understand your question correctly you are talking about the message the preview window of your layout is giving you?
You are probably using a version of recycler view that is newer than your compile version.
In you build.gradle file where you have added recyclerview to your dependencies you can try downgrading the version you are using
Change compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.1'
to compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.3' (or change to a 21.x.x version that suits your needs
