Reporting suggests that Congress will continue to consider a variety of legislative solutions to support Americans enduring the ongoing public health crisis, provide short-term financing and taxA tax is a mandatory payment or charge collected by local, state, and national governments from individuals or businesses to cover the costs of general government services, goods, and activities. relief for businesses and individuals, and eventually, revive economic growth after the crisis passes.
With policymakers contemplating more spending even as tax revenues fall relative to previous years, the deficit is now a major point of contention. As members of Congress and the White House discuss proposals which could increase the deficit, all parties should keep two principles in mind:
First, the question is not whether deficits matter, but when they should be considered. Second, sound tax policy can ensure more efficient ways to raise revenue, which can reduce the deficit and provide the government with more tools to address future crises as they arise.
The Deficit Question: When, not Whether
Fiscal conservatives are expressing their concern with increasing government debt associated with relief spending, arguing that any future relief proposal be paid for. According to some, the suggestion that certain states could receive taxpayer-financed support from the federal government is also out of the question.
Others propose that now is the right time to spend federal dollars to fight the pandemic effectively through public health measures and policies supporting businesses to stem the tide of increasing unemployment claims. In their view, the main priority is to defeat the virus. Any discussion over the deficit can come later.
Still others argue that any discussion of the deficit is superfluous since economic conditions demand more federal involvement. If there were ever a time to borrow and spend, it would be now. Since the Trump Administration has already spent the last three-plus years increasing the deficit through a variety of tax and spending proposals, these proponents argue, why not increase spending when it is truly needed?
While all three camps are well-intentioned in their desire to accomplish their goals, whether that be a balanced budget, effective relief, or increased federal investment, the current debate is missing a key element: The when. Few fiscal conservatives would argue that the government should not levy any taxes, reducing the government to solely borrowing to resolve the public health crisis. Most of those less concerned with the deficit would also not argue that debt does not matter at all, but rather at what stage does it become the primary concern.
Realistic public policy recognizes that sometimes it is better to spend a certain amount of money now in order to prevent greater economic debilitation later. Moreover, not every dollar spent, or revenue forgone, has the same effect. As Tax Foundation has pointed out, full and immediate expensing and neutral cost recovery are far more effective policies for encouraging economic growth and job creation than a capital gains taxA capital gains tax is levied on the profit made from selling an asset and is often in addition to corporate income taxes, frequently resulting in double taxation. These taxes create a bias against saving, leading to a lower level of national income by encouraging present consumption over investment. cut or increasing the Child Tax Credit, for example.
However Congress decides in the coming months, it is critical for policymakers not to let the deficit be the only litmus test which determines the course of action. Sometimes borrowing and debt make sense in order to prevent a worse outcome. For example, even the great fiscal conservative and devoted proponent of budget balance, United Kingdom Prime Minister William Pitt (the Younger), concluded that debt and borrowing was a necessary sacrifice to ensure the survival of Great Britain from surrender to post-revolutionary France in the Napoleonic Wars. In the same way, lawmakers must realize by now that money will be spent during the pandemic to avoid worst-case outcomes for the economy and public health. There is no easy way out of these difficult fiscal facts. The question is how best to use public funds to protect Americans and help the economy recover over the long term.
Some Tax Policies Are Better than Others
Sound tax policy strives for simplicity, transparency, stability, and neutrality. While it is difficult to achieve these principles simultaneously, each should be a guiding principle for future tax legislation. The coronavirus pandemic provides a critical opportunity for lawmakers to look at the code with fresh eyes and ask which parts do more harm than good, create more burden than relief.
As it pertains to correcting the tax treatment of investment, lawmakers have a rare opportunity to treat capital and structural expenses more favorably by allowing businesses to immediately and permanently write off these expenses in the first year (full and immediate expensing) or at least keep their value across the years they are required to deduct the asset (neutral cost recovery). On the labor side, policymakers should evaluate whether increasing taxes on corporations falls more on the entity or the laborer’s wages.
Taxing a broad base with low rates is far more effective at raising revenue than adding complicated provisions to the code which are difficult to interpret, such as the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) and the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII) contained in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Moreover, increasing or retaining tax expenditures such as the state and local tax (SALT) deduction), which protect certain constituencies, reduces simplicity and efficiency.
Removing the SALT deduction and reducing the number of tax expenditureTax expenditures are a departure from the “normal” tax code that lower the tax burden of individuals or businesses, through an exemption, deduction, credit, or preferential rate. Expenditures can result in significant revenue losses to the government and include provisions such as the earned income tax credit (EITC), child tax credit (CTC), deduction for employer health-care contributions, and tax-advantaged savings plans. s would lead to a simpler code with a broader base. Base-broadening measures make the code more neutral and easier to move toward lower rates since more goods and services are subject to the tax.
Transparent, simple, and stable tax policy ensures more efficient revenue collection, which can, in turn, increase productivity and tax revenues—reducing the deficit over the long run and providing the government with more tools to address future crises when they appear.
Prudent tax policy should always consider revenue shortfalls. However, it should also remain flexible enough to provide short-term relief and long-term stability to businesses and individuals facing enormous challenges due to no fault of their own.
The coronavirus pandemic demonstrates, perhaps more clearly than any other situation in recent memory the need to reevaluate the wisdom of promoting temporary, complicated, confusing, and biased tax policy.
Members of Congress should think clearly about the need to pursue stability, transparency, simplicity, and neutrality in any future tax legislation, whether the package is in response to the coronavirus outbreak or not. Ultimately, revenue shortfalls and deficits can be addressed best by considering when to consider the deficit as the primary priority and reevaluating how revenue can be raised most efficiently through sound tax policy principles.

Remote surveying goes live
Classification society DNV GL has announced that all its classed vessels are now able to utilize the possibility of remote surveys for some inspections through the Veracity data platform.
This means that for a range of surveys, the surveyor will not be required to travel to the vessel. Instead, by using an online connection or video streaming link, a dedicated team of remote surveyors can provide support to vessels anywhere in the world with documentation, images, video (streaming or recordings), and input provided by the customer and crew.
“This is another big step forward in using the power of digitalization and increased connectivity to deliver smarter and more efficient services,” said Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL – Maritime. “Remote surveys allow us to free up time for our customers, while delivering our services with unparalleled response time. In addition, cutting down on unnecessary travel can result in lower costs, less waiting, and more operational up-time.”
More than 1,000 remote surveys were completed in the pilot and scaling up phase by the Direct Access to Technical Experts (DATE) units based in the Maritime Operational Centre in Høvik, alongside units in Hamburg, Singapore, Houston and Piraeus. Technology testing began in 2017, with the first production pilots in June 2018, and now the entire DNV GL fleet is able to take advantage of the service.
When a customer makes a survey request through DNV GL’s fleet portal on the Veracity platform, they may, for some survey types, be given the option by the system to choose to carry out the survey remotely. All such survey requests are then evaluated by a remote surveyor to make sure that the survey can be offered remotely. The remote survey regime has been constructed to ensure that the level of assurance is equivalent to an onboard survey.
The types of surveys able to be offered as remote surveys include: occasional surveys that fall between periodical surveys, documentation-based surveys, testing and witnessing systems during normal operation, and surveys not ordered together with annual surveys. Periodical surveys like the annual survey of a vessel are not part of the remote survey programme as they require a surveyor onboard.

The JSC «Grasys» manufactured a nitrogen membrane station, which will be operated in Central Africa, for a major international oil company.
For this project, «Grasys» engineers have implemented a special technical solution for membrane air separation, when the process of gas separation is carried out at the low temperature of +24°С. That enabled a greater share of nitrogen recovery and operation at high temperatures of the compressed air downstream the compressor. Cooling was carried out through a closed water circuit comprising an air-cooled chiller.
The product gas is applied as an inert environment for further filling to the low-pressure receiver and also to gas cylinders and trailer-mounted bullets. The station has two nitrogen output capacities of 206 m³/h and 90 m³/h with 99,5% purity grade and 10,5 bar and 207 bar pressures respectively.
All pressure equipment inside the container as well as pipelines welding meet the American ASME standards. Electric equipment meets the international standard IEC.
The station was manufactured in view of the specific nature of its location — all air-supply vents are fitted with sand traps and dust filters for operation in the dust storms prone environment.
JSC «Grasys» produced a nitrogen station for one of the largest oil companies in the world.

The county council voted 3-2 Tuesday night against removing the statue atop the rebel monument on the courthouse lawn.
The vote on Resolution 290 came after a majority of the members of the Talbot County Council voted against, or abstained from, amendments that called for removing the entire monument, not just the statue.
Council President Corey Pack and Councilman Pete Lesher voted for removal; members Frank Divilio, Chuck Callahan, and Laura Price voted against.
The vote, held in council chambers closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, drew a quick response from local residents fighting to have the statue removed.
Signs reading “Take it down” and “Vote them Out” were affixed to the statue and a growing crowd gathered on Dover Street outside the courthouse to shout “take it down,” “no justice, no peace,” “black lives matter,” and other chants that could be heard inside the council chambers.
A banner reading “No hate in our state” later was unfurled as the demonstration continued.
After a brief recess near the end of the meeting, the council decided to suspend the remainder of the session.
“We understand that citizens are quite upset over the earlier vote taken today so council is going to go ahead and suspend the balance of this meeting,” Pack announced. “Basically we’re at the end of the meeting.”
“I know there has been a number of people online (teleconference) for public comment. We certainly will take any comment in writing that persons will have,” he said.
Pack, who proposed Resolution 290, had previously voted against the monument’s removal.
“Where I was five years ago is not where I am today,” he said before the final vote. “People change, times change. And I’ve said repeatedly that a man who fails to change his mind will never change the world that’s around him….
“I do not support the Talbot Boys statue remaining on the courthouse lawn. I don’t think it’s appropriate. I know what I’ve said in the past and I’m very much aware of what I’ve said in the past, but it is not appropriate to keep that symbol on the courthouse lawn,” he said.
“I’ve made my apologies to myself, I’ve made my apologies to … persons previously because of my vote in the past. It’s not one of my better votes and I’m ashamed to have voted that way.
“But that’s done, that’s in the past,” Pack said. “We can only look to the future and only make those changes today which will impact our future. I think that not removing that statue will certainly say a lot about this county, a lot about this council as we move forward through the rest of this term and into the next.”
Lesher, in comments before the vote, said the decision would speak to what the county believes in and its failure to change and said he was worried about the effect on the county’s tourism and hospitality industries.
“The removal of this monument … would not change the history of this county and it may not directly improve anyone’s economic or physical well-being, but the number who’ve expressed their feelings in this matter have made it clear that this, this is indeed a powerful symbol and our actions on it tonight, I’m afraid, sadly speak to who we are now as a county and the extent to which we have not yet changed.
“I hope, I aspire, to be better than this.
“Our failure to act to remove this monument from the courthouse square, in our failure to do so, Talbot County increasingly puts its tourism economy at risk along with our legendary reputation for hospitality,” Lesher said. “Whatever it may have meant in the past, the Talbot Boys today is not viewed as a welcoming symbol, that we accommodate all people here with equity and with justice.
“Now, more than ever, if Talbot County’s economy is to recover from the devastating impacts of COVID-19 pandemic, I fear that we further imperil it by allowing us to remain the last holdout of a Confederate monument on public property outside of a battlefield or a cemetery in the state of Maryland.”
Saying it applied to the situation in Talbot County, Lesher also read an excerpt from the speech New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu made in May 2017 after that city removed its Confederate monuments:
“To literally put the Confederacy on a pedestal in our most prominent places of honor is an inaccurate recitation of our full past, it is an affront to our present, and it is a bad prescription for our future.
“History cannot be changed. It cannot be moved like a statue. What is done is done. Surely we are far enough removed from that dark time to acknowledge that the cause of the Confederacy was wrong. And in the second decade of the 21st century, asking African-Americans or anyone else to drive by this property that they as members of the public own occupied by reverential statues and names of men who fought to destroy the country and deny that person’s humanity seems perverse and absurd.
“Centuries old wounds are still raw because they never healed right in the first place. We are better together than we are apart.”
Before the vote, Divilio, Callahan, and Price pushed for delay, arguing the council’s decision to close its meetings to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing technical issues with the audio for the live video and teleconference of meetings had restricted public input.
Divilio and Callahan also called for the public to decide the issue by putting the statue’s removal on the ballot in 2022, while Price argued that the resolution was improperly introduced because the council only was meeting during the pandemic to deal with critical operations and the budget.
“I’d like to push it down the road a little bit,” Callahan said, noting the two amendments introduced Tuesday night.
He said it is difficult to hold meetings without the public in attendance.
“This is a big deal for a lot of people and it’s a big deal for us to make such a historical decision on something that is 150 years old. We’re changing the way we’re looking at history,” Callahan said. “I think we better really take a couple steps back and make sure we’re doing the right thing and at this time I don’t think we’re doing the right thing.”
Price also opposed taking action Tuesday night and suggested Resolution 290 had been improperly introduced.
“Because we have had no public input on amendments 2 or 3, I believe that that is inappropriate for us to take any votes on the amendments this evening and additionally the entire resolution should not have been introduced under our emergency order,” Price said. “We were only supposed to deal with critical legislation and the budget at this time. As an example, we let several pieces of legislation expire including short-term rentals that’s also supposed to be voted on this evening.
“Certainly this is a worthy issue to be given its proper attention but it is not appropriate to vote on tonight when we still lack sufficient public comment, knowledge of the cost of any removal, approval of the historic district commission … and knowledge of where and how the statue will be stored,” she said. “Because we have not had that feedback from the public and I believe this resolution was introduced at a time that was deemed only critical to county operations and the budget, I believe that we should not vote on anything this evening, but especially the amendments which have had no public input at all.”
Pack noted amendments are often introduced by members and voted on without additional public hearing and the proposed amendments were not deemed as substantive changes to the overall bill.
And, unless Resolution 290 is passed, there is nothing to take before the Easton Historic District Commission, he said.
Pack and Lesher also noted the first amendment, which would have changed Resolution 290 to include the removal of the entire monument, had been publicly available before the July 28 hearing on the resolution.
“If the statue is simply removed, there will never be a statue that represents a very complex period in the county’s history,” Price said. “If people haven’t come together with any effort over the past five years, it surely isn’t going to happen once it’s gone.”
Divilio said he had offered an idea for a unity statue, suggesting a group be formed to develop a design and raise funds for a new monument.
“I’m committed to move forward with a plan, a committee, and a ballot question so that we can put this issue to rest with full public input at the nearest possible election,” he said.
“Now it’s time for us to put it back to the community, if they’ve asked three different councils to change their opinion and we’ve tried, we’re putting it back to the community to put it on a ballot question would be my plan so that everybody has an opportunity to voice their opinion.”
With the pandemic and a budget freeze, Callahan said it was the wrong time for the council to vote on the issue. He also called for the public to decide the fate of the statue.
“I think that this should be in the hands of the community and not our hands. This is something that should be voted on from the community. People have asked me many, many times can you put it on the ballot? We all know we can’t do that this go-round. We’d have to do it in ’22.
“It’s only fair that the community make that decision, not us. I feel very uncomfortable with something that’s happened 155 years ago and I’m making a decision on whether this thing should go or not. I don’t think that’s fair. I don’t think that should be my decision, I don’t think it should be the council decision, I think it’s the community that should be making that.”
Callahan also noted a prior council had rejected the statue’s removal in recent years and had said it would consider a Union statue if a group proposed one.
Pack noted Callahan had frequently said in the past that county voters had elected him to make decisions.
“So you can’t go back and forth and say one day they hired you to do a job … and now say you’re going to throw it back on the people,” Pack said.
Divilio interjected, arguing that Pack was twisting his and Callahan’s comments, but Callahan said to let Pack finish.
Pack noted he had not mentioned Divilio’s comments and was simply highlighting Callahan’s prior statements contradicting his stance on the statue removal.
“Let’s go back five years ago,” Callahan responded. “We’re dealing with your change right now; you’ve done flip flopped 180 degrees. We’re dealing with that as a council. So if I feel like it’s the wrong time and we need the public to vote on this, that’s what I think. So don’t tell me I’m this and I’m that ….”
After a somewhat heated discussion between the two men, Callahan said, “We’re talking history here…. And nobody’s here that’s on that statue — there’s 84 names on that statue — and they can’t stand in front of us and tell us what their thoughts are. And that’s something you need to think about too.”
This is the third time the county council has rejected calls to remove the monument, which has a statue of a young flag bearer holding the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia atop a base listing the names of 84 men from Talbot County who fought against the United States.
As the nation continues to grapple with the wounds of its history of slavery, white supremacy, and racism, and amid cries for equal justice for all races, former rebel states have seen fit to remove the battle flag of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s army and to remove statues to rebel leaders from public spaces.
Mississippi voted this summer to remove the battle flag from its state flag. Richmond, Va., capital of the Confederacy, removed all Confederate monuments from Monument Avenue.
In Talbot County, more than 400 patriots fought for the Union, significantly higher than the 84 rebels who fought against their state and country.
As the council met Tuesday night, Marjorie Opalski and daughter Jessica stood at the main Washington Street entrance to the courthouse lawn. Marjorie Opalski held her cell phone, listening to the council discussion on speaker, as Jessica held a sign that read: “No Confederate statues.”
While mother and daughter were the only two demonstrating earlier Tuesday night, a crowd began gathering on the lawn after the vote, moving to the entrance to the courthouse’s south wing, where the county council meets, before moving to the sidewalk along Dover Street where they chanted for justice and the statue’s removal outside the windows to the council chamber.
Among the crowd were Easton Council President Megan Cook and Talbot NAACP President Richard Potter. A marked Easton Police Department SUV drove down Dover Street several times, but didn’t stop.
Talbot County Sheriff Joe Gamble and a deputy arrived about 8:30 p.m. and went inside the building for a period of time before Gamble left less than 30 minutes later.
At about 9 p.m., the demonstrators split into several groups to ensure all exits from the south wing of the courthouse were covered and council members would have to face citizens upset about the vote.

Natural ice rinks opening across the country; Skating on open water unlikely this week
In various places in the Netherlands, skating enthusiasts can skate on natural ice rinks on Tuesday. But tying the irons on lakes and canals will almost certainly not be possible this week, according to Weeronline. With temperatures dropping to -9 degrees locally, last night was the coldest night of the year. But that cold did not last long enough to skate responsibly on open water.
The Doornsche IJsclub opened its track at 8:00 a.m., the club said on Facebook. “We will remain open as long as the weather permits.” Skaters can also go to the IJsclub Vooruitgang in Ammerstol, the Warmondse IJs-en Skeelerclub, and Hard Gaat ie in De Lier, Zuid-Holland.
The association in De Lier started spraying water on Monday at 7:00 p.m. and spent all night preparing the ice floor for skating. “It looks great,” said chairman Wim van der Berg. He thinks the rink can stay open for at least a few days with the current temperatures.
The ice rink in Winterswijk is also ready to skate on but will only open to the public later on Tuesday after an attempt to break the world hour record for skating on natural ice.
Last night was the coldest night of this year, with temperatures dipping to -7.6 at the national weather station in De Bilt. While the low temps were great for opening inundated skating rinks and flooded meadows with a shallow layer of water, it’s not enough for most rinks, according to Weeronline.
“To open ice rinks on a large scale, you need a few days of severe frost,” said Weeronline. “This afternoon, the temperature will be around freezing point, and there will be another night with a few degrees of frost, which is favorable for the ice. It can grow a bit thicker overnight in the coming days. But the temperature will rise above zero in the coming days, especially in the coastal areas.”
With the current dry air, those higher temperatures during the day are not necessarily bad for the ice, but with only moderate frost on the horizon, the ice will not grow fast enough to skate on large lakes, for example. Weeronline expects severe frost this coming night, with outliers of -9 in the northeast and -3 in the southwest, but after that, there is mainly frost of around -5 degrees. The cold spell will end on Saturday night, and the thaw will set in on Sunday.
Weeronline expects a few more natural ice rinks to open in the coming days, but it will probably stay at that. “Skating may be possible on ditches here and there, but on large lakes, you really have to be careful.” The ice may close in many places, but it will not be thick enough to handle large numbers of skating enthusiasts, according to the weather service. “And if you see someone skating, it doesn’t mean it’s safe.”

Which automaker showed a plug-in hybrid concept car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell?
And what will the new 2016 Chevy Volt look like?
This is our video look back at the Week In Reverse--right here at Green Car Reports--for the week ending on Friday, November 21, 2014.
On Friday, we looked at long-distance riding on electric motorcycles, specifically a Southern California biker group that regularly rides a dozen or more electric bikes through the curving canyon roads.
You might call them the biker gang you'll never hear coming.
Thursday, our big story was the styling of the all-new 2016 Chevy Volt range-extended electric car--which we got another peak at, along with more details of updates to its charging system.
During the middle of the week, it was all about this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, and a whole slew of new small cars and crossovers introduced there.
Then there was the new Scion iM Concept hatchback, which previews a production model coming next spring.
And the Audi A7 Quattro HyMotion concept, an all-wheel-drive luxury sport hatchback, turns out to be a plug-in hybrid powered by a hydrogen fuel cell rather than a combustion engine.
On the Unexpected News front, it seems that the Coda Sedan electric car may have returned from the dead, in the form of what's now called the Mullen 700e. We'll believe it when we see it.
Tuesday, we published photos of the 2016 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell car that will go on sale next year, in limited numbers, in Southern California.
It will sell for $57,500, or you can lease it--if you live in Southern California, the only place it'll initially be sold--for $499 a month with $3,650 down.
We opened the week on Monday by noting that discounts had risen on Tesla Model S loaner cars that the company is replacing with updated version--if you're in the market for an electric luxury sedan at a slightly higher discount.
On Sunday, we got more details on the Honda FCV Concept, that company's five-passenger hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicle, now slated to go on sale in 2016.
Finally, we noted that the innovative BMW i3 electric car is selling slowly in Germany--and wondered if the car will maintain its impressive sales pace in the U.S.
Overall, though, between the auto show and a slew of announcements about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and partnerships, this was the fuel-cell focus week.
Next week, we'll return you to our regular programming.

Tickets go on sale from www.ticketek.com.au 11am Monday 15 April.
Announcing their Rhapsody Tour of Australia Roger Taylor said: “We are ready for Australia and raring to get back with our new show.”
Adam Lambert said: “We have a brand-new visual spectacle that will reframe these iconic songs and we are excited to reveal the show to Australian fans!”
With Brian May adding: “This is a great opportunity. Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever and got us our best notices ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious! Watch out, Australia!”
Paul Dainty, President and CEO of TEG-DAINTY said: “With the enormous success of the highest grossing music biopic of all time – Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen’s popularity in Australia is as huge as it gets, we can’t wait to bring Queen + Adam Lambert back to Australia with this brand new stadium production and watch them bring their iconic songs to life.”
The Rhapsody Tour will debut a brand new larger-than-life production. Set designer Ric Lipson says: “Queen + Adam Lambert’s Rhapsody tour will, once again for them, expand the parameters of what a live music experience can be. This new show promises to be their most spectacular yet, an innovative and interactive celebration of the continued power of Queen’s music.”
Since Adam Lambert first shared the stage with Queen for the 2009 American Idol final, his dynamic performances have reinvigorated the band and delighted fans worldwide. Their first full show thrilled a half-a-million-strong crowd in the Ukraine capital city of Kiev in June 2012. Since then May and Taylor’s musical fireworks have been matched by Lambert’s vocal prowess and stage presence, making for an explosive combination. Over 180 gigs later, the partnership has proven a commercial and critical triumph, playing to enraptured full houses in every corner of the world.
Completing the tour line-up are long-term collaborator Spike Edney on keyboards, Neil Fairclough on bass, and Tyler Warren on percussion.
When Freddie sang The Show Must Go On all those years back, even he couldn’t have guessed that Queen music would still be thrilling audiences. Next summer, the Stadium Australia stage will be well and truly rocked again.

- MABEL SUEN
- Chef Ben Welch.
It has been a long year. Even those who are taking COVID-19 seriously have in recent weeks found themselves searching for a holiday-party-sized opening in coronavirus protocols.
For eight months, pandemic-induced anxiety has piled up, rising with every fraught trip to the grocery store, every decision about whether to send kids to school and every question about the future of a job. More than 3,700 people in Missouri and more than 258,000 in the United States have died as a result of COVID-19, and those numbers could nearly double by spring, according to projections.
If ever there was a year that people could use a break to relax and be with people they care about, we're in it. But Thanksgiving will be different for hundreds of thousands of people in St. Louis. All across the metro, people are altering generations-old traditions. They're planning meals for two instead of twenty, re-imagining turkey trots and trying to find some way to preserve even the slightest sense of the holiday while staying safe. Some are just trying to find a way to hold on.
"People love tradition," says chef Ben Welch of the Midwestern Meat & Drink. "Family loves tradition. Your older relatives love tradition. They want to see you. They want to pinch on your face and squeeze on you, you know? And this is just a weird year for that."
That so many of those traditions are rooted in food is not lost on Welch, one of the city's culinary stars. The pandemic's effect on even the day-to-day act of dining together has ravaged his industry, making it less of an experience and more utilitarian as we snag takeout from masked workers and speed away. Even the restaurant dining rooms that are open are mostly empty by design and health department order.
"As a chef, I love dining out," Welch says. "I miss dining out and just getting away from my own food. I've been eating so much of my own food I'm over it."
Now, combine pandemic fatigue with the prospect of skipping not just the occasional night out but the idea of doing without the family celebrations with their once-a-year dishes — the pull of the holidays becomes powerful.
"For me, Thanksgiving isn't the big day," Welch says. "What happens at Christmas? I'm not a religious guy — I'm a spiritual guy — but I love the season of Christmas. I love the holidays. Everyone seems happier for those couple of days, regardless of how cold it is or how dreary the weather is. Everybody just wants to celebrate just for a few hours."
And if we can't do that together this year, Welch suggests there is still comfort in food.
At the Midwestern, he makes a fried turkey leg, and well, maybe that would work for a smaller Thanksgiving. It's the kind of showpiece dish that satisfies the main-event quality usually reserved for a roast turkey, without tasking a family of four to eat a 25-pound bird by themselves.
"It's definitely something you can do at home," he says.
He smokes his at 250 degrees for three hours and then confits them for seven hours in duck fat (but you could use bacon fat or lard) and then lets them chill overnight in the refrigerator. Finally, he heats oil in a fryer to 350 degrees and fries them for five minutes. If you do cook a whole turkey, you can skip the smoking step and fry up the leftover legs.
But it might also be the year to reach for something familiar, according to Welch.
"I think it would be a good time to work on those hidden family recipes," he says. "If you can't be with your family, then maybe work on those recipes that connect you — Mom's famous dressing. Nobody makes dressing as good as your mom, so you hold onto those things."

The St. Louis metro's biggest holiday dinners have always gone beyond family homes to the massive neighborhood gatherings, food pantries and church halls, where volunteers work shoulder-to-shoulder cooking and serving meals to dozens and often hundreds of people.
The pandemic has upended those traditions as well. The annual Cherokee Street Thanksgiving Potluck, one of the district's most beloved events, has transitioned into a food drive this year, with donations going toward turkeys and sides for families.
Loaves and Fishes, one of only a few St. Louis food pantries that have not shut down because of the coronavirus, plans to hand out meals to 250 families through curbside pickups this week at its location at 2750 McKelvey Road in Maryland Heights. But the supply of volunteers it counts on has dried up during the pandemic, forcing the nonprofit to hire more staff, according to Executive Director Jacki MacIntosh.
"When a pandemic or a crisis comes to town, we should be expanding and opening up and making sure we are on the front lines serving the people who are in the most need and not shutting our doors," MacIntosh says.
- COURTESY OF CONGREGATION TEMPLE ISRAEL
- In years past, hundreds of volunteers cook and serve a feast at Congregation Temple Israel.
Even Congregation Temple Israel has had to reinvent its storied Thanksgiving dinner, usually a packed affair rooted in a remarkable tale of decency.
The Creve Coeur synagogue started the dinner in 1986 after receiving a donation from Ernest Wolf, a non-Jewish German national who was helped by a rabbi during World War II to avoid going back to Germany to serve the Nazi regime.
Then-Rabbi Ferdinand M. Isserman gave Wolf $300 to seek asylum in Mexico. Wolf repaid the favor with a $50,000 check to the synagogue more than four decades later. Some of that money was used to start an annual Thanksgiving dinner for those in need.
In normal years, a few hundred volunteers at the synagogue would work together to prepare and serve meals to hundreds at Congregation Temple Israel. Because of COVID-19, operations have been pared down this year to the kitchen staff and seven volunteer drivers. Instead of hosting the feast, they'll deliver turkey dinners with cranberry sauce and all the side dishes to social service organizations that will distribute them to families.
Congregation Temple Israel Communications Director Erin May says the organization planned over the past month to ensure the dinner still impacted the community in the way it has since 1986.
"This is our tradition, and we just knew we wanted to find a way to make this work to make sure we can get people these meals," May says.

Mr. BERMAN. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the resolution under consideration.
Mr. BERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of this resolution and yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to support this resolution that notes the tragic poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, expresses concern about the potential involvement of elements of the Russian Government in his death, and highlights the need to ensure the security of radioactive materials.
And I'd like to thank my good friend and the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN of Florida, for introducing this important measure.
In late November 2006, Americans joined with many around the world in watching with horror as a youthful, energetic Russian dissident and British citizen dramatically changed appearances within days. Who can forget the piercing blue eyes of the bald and gaunt man staring intently at the camera from a London hospital bed?
After the completion of an autopsy, British health officials concluded that Alexander Litvinenko had died on November 23, 2006 of radiation poisoning caused by ingesting the radioactive element Polonium-210. British law enforcement officials classified his death as murder.
Alexander Litvinenko was an agent in the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation at the time when Vladimir Putin ran the agency. Mr. Litvinenko was fired from the service in 1998, then was arrested and briefly held without conviction after accusing senior Security Service officials of assassination plots.
Mr. Litvinenko successfully sought asylum in Britain, from where he continued to accuse the Security Service of involvement in illegal activities.
The night before falling ill, Mr. Litvinenko reportedly dined with three Russian citizens, including former Federal Security Service Agent Andrei Lugovoi.
On May 22, 2007, British authorities announced their intent to prosecute Mr. Lugovoi for the murder of Mr. Litvinenko. After Russia refused to extradite Mr. Lugovoi to Britain, a political dispute ensued between the two countries that resulted in the mutual expulsion of diplomats.
The murder of Alexander Litvinenko clearly raises disturbing questions about how elements of the Russian Government appear to deal with their enemies and perceived threats.
It also raises worrying questions about the security and proliferation of radioactive material. 97 percent of the world's legal production of Polonium-210 occurs at the Avangard nuclear facility in Russia, the country that is also the world's leading exporter of this substance for commercial purposes.
If the Russian government is not responsible for Litvinenko's death, as President Putin has stated, then it should be urgently investigating the security of the production, storage, distribution and export of Polonium-210 to prevent grave threats to international security.
The resolution calls on President Bush and Secretary Rice to urge President Putin and President-elect Medvedev to cooperate with British authorities in finding answers to ensure the safety and security of all our citizens.
I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this resolution.
I reserve the balance of my time.

TOURISM, agriculture and the extractive sectors will enjoy the lion’s share of public investments in the next five years, in a new development plan that seeks to drive Uganda to middle-income status by 2020
By John Odyek, Francis Kagolo and Pearl Agasha
TOURISM, agriculture and the extractive sectors will enjoy the lion’s share of public investments in the next five years, in a new development plan that seeks to drive Uganda to middle-income status by 2020.
The National Planning Authority (NPA) estimates that the key projects in these sectors require sh185 trillion over the next five years. Of this, sh100 trillion is expected to come from the public sector and the balance from the private sector in form of partnerships.
The draft development plan awaits the approval of Cabinet and Parliament ahead of implementation in the new financial year starting in July.
NPA chairperson Dr. Kisamba Mugerwa warned that the plan will only be successful if the Government aligns the annual national budgets with the plan. Mugerwa and the NPA team were addressing journalists about the completion the new development plan (NDPII) last week at their offices.
Mugerwa said it is essential that the Government focuses on particluar priority areas instead of scattering the limited resources by trying to do everything at once.
“While we don’t want to undermine the essence of decentralisation, we believe that some services can best be delivered by a cluster of districts instead of them working individually,” he said.
The mid-term review of NDPI conducted last year revealed that the limited funds to finance projects and the ineffective public sector management, corruption and bureaucracy hampered private investments and delivery of public services.
Dr. Patrick Birungi, the NPA director of development planning, explained that tourism, agriculture and minerals, oil and gas have been prioritised because they are revenue-generating sectors which, if developed, can increase the country’s resource envelope.
Agriculture employs about 72% of Ugandans and investments in the sector will boost food security and exports, according to Birungi.
Tourism, Birungi said, can provide high returns with little investment. Tourism accounts for 19.6% of Uganda's total exports.
Birungi noted that the sector has a high potential to generate more revenue and employment. Improving the road network, diversifying the tourism products beyond wildlife and investing in aggressive marketing will boost tourism, Birungi said.
NPA executive director, Dr. Joseph Muvawala called for creative approaches.
“We need a new financing mechanism for technical institutions. Technical education is very expensive,” he said.
National development plan needs sh185 trillion

Democratic candidates for chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors met in two forums to give communities their ideas and solutions to the county’s numerous challenges, such as affordable housing and education. On May 11, the Fairfax County NAACP hosted a forum at Heritage Fellowship Church in Reston and on May 13, the Fairfax County Healthy Communities Coalition hosted a forum in Fairfax.
Jeff McKay, Ryan McElveen, Tim Chapman, and Alicia Plerhopes all hope to succeed current chairman Sharon Bulova, who is retiring. (The county calls the position chairman regardless of sex.) Here’s what they said.
Affordable housing was a hot button topic
“We’ve left many people behind, and we are often asked to settle for less,” Alicia Plerhoples said at the Fairfax County Healthy Communities Coalition Forum on May 13. “We deserve a chairman who treats affordable housing crisis as a crisis, because that’s what it is.”
To support affordable housing initiatives, Plerhoples said she would like to revisit the meals tax that failed in 2016. This was a proposed tax on restaurant meals and prepared foods at grocery stores, which would have funded schools and county services but lost at the ballot 44%-56%.
She proposed passing the meals tax as an ordinance instead of the ballot, and that “if we do not enact a meals tax we will not have money for the things and the quality of life residents deserve.” Plerhoples also proposed re-evaluating real estate tax rates if the meals tax does not pass, and adding escalation clauses to developer contracts, though increasing real estate taxes would not be ideal if they affect senior residents.
She said that the county needs to move in a “progressive manner” so that people are not left behind. Plerhoples said she had previously experienced homelessness as a child when her father lost his job, and said that affordable housing must be built everywhere, not just in areas that will divide low income residents from high income residents and create “pockets of poverty.” She also discussed how the county needed to take some of the single family residential areas and rezone for higher density near transit, and how the county needed to hold developers accountable for building affordable housing. She has also pledged not to take any donations from developers.
“When I say that ‘affordable housing is not just what I do, it’s who I am,’ I have a clear understanding of what it means for a sheriff to stand at your door and take you out of the house. I have a clear understanding of what it means to have your goods put out on the street,” Tim Chapman said. He proposed making 10% of the housing stock affordable housing by 2035, and called it “shameful” that the county only set aside $5 million for affordable housing during the latest budget cycle, for a total of $15 million.
Chapman said there’s an income and equality disparity, and the Board of Supervisors favor larger developers and ignore residents’ opinions about development in their neighborhoods. He used ANCs as an example, saying that nothing gets through the DC government without residents having a say, though he did also point to NIMBYs in wealthy neighborhoods who use local meetings to oppose affordable housing.
McKay agreed that affordable housing needed to be spread throughout the county and not focused on only some areas, and that under his tutelage the county would be more adept at describing to residents what the county envisioned for housing and assistance. At the Fairfax County Healthy Communities Coalition forum he said that under his leadership, Lee District has been a leader in affordable housing construction, and as chairman he would provide funding and other incentives for nonprofits to work with the county to build affordable housing and he would ensure that the county would hold developers accountable for building the right amount of affordable housing.
McKay also said that the Embark Richmond Highway model, which affects Lee District, would be a good plan to implement affordable housing and mixed use development across the county to increase building while ensuring residents would not be displaced.
At the Fairfax County Healthy Communities Coalition forum, Reverend Sarah Scherschligt of Peace Lutheran Church acted as moderator and asked what the candidates would do to promote walkable, bicycle friendly and transit oriented communities that have “a clear sense of place.”
McElveen began by hitting the top wishes of most commuters in the region: expanding Metro (though he misspoke by saying it was the Blue Line by Mount Vernon, when it’s the Yellow Line), adding more bike paths, improving the sidewalks and ensuring they are connected, and placing transit, housing, and work opportunities near each other so that people can do all in the same area. McKay touted the bicycle master plan, more bike lanes, and better sidewalks. Pointing to the Route 1 corridor again, he said that Lee District and other districts on the corridor have made progress in connecting sidewalks.
“People want to live in places where they can walk, where they can bicycle safely” he said, adding that they wanted to be multi-modal and have bus, trains, and walkable communities.
“We need to make sure we are not gentrifying neighborhoods,” Plerhoples said, noting that this is what she has been seeing in many mixed-use developments. She also said the county needed to adopt creative solutions to solve the first mile and last mile problem.
She also addressed this at the NAACP forum, saying “We often have these deserts where transit doesn’t go.” She said that with the 70 miles of smart roads that allow for testing for autonomous vehicles and that innovation in autonomous vehicles may provide opportunities to bring transit to areas that aren’t currently connected to transit lines, especially to help seniors who want to age in place and not move, but also don’t have access to transit.
“Our transportation system in Fairfax County imprisons us in cars,” Chapman said. “We need a transportation system that moves people and not cars, and does not unjustly tax the poor.”
Amazon, Amazon, Amazon
At the NAACP forum, Perryman asked McElveen how his vision of the county as a leader in innovation could be achieved without displacing residents and gentrifying neighborhoods. McElveen said that he thought that the influx of Amazon (and Google) in the region will add vastly more residents, and that the county needed to “plan wisely” for the low and middle income individuals.
McElveen said that an innovation-oriented county should focus on internships and apprenticeships for students and add makerspaces to all schools that will bring together students with professionals in the area who can teach important STEAM skills.
Plerhoples said that she would like to see county’s innovation focus on small businesses and nonprofits.
“Some of the [innovation hubs] are in the community, and they are coworking spaces and bring technical services to small business and to nonprofits,” she said, adding that these organizations work with low income business owners and those who have just been released from jail. She would like for the county to provide innovation opportunities for more than just “the 30-something middle class millennial.”
Rev. Scherschligt asked how the candidates would ensure that equity remained a priority as the county embarked on large scale developments and ambitious programs like the Fairfax Green initiative and “One Fairfax” policy, which requires county government and the school system to “intentionally consider equity when making policies or delivering programs and services.”
Plerhoples lamented that there was only one equity officer in the county and that there was not enough support for this person’s work.
McKay took a broad approach, saying that leaders need to take care of “all corners of the county” and include racial and social justice in decision making with regard to the comprehensive plan and how the county writes land use plans and sets its priorities.
While the candidates agreed on many other positions, they differed on how effective and proactive the county has been so far to address climate change. McKay proffered the most positive outlook, saying that the county has done a great deal. He noted that the board adopted a storm water tax in Fiscal Year 2010 and has improved erosion and drainage problems.
At the NAACP forum, McElveen said the county was not doing enough and has to support the countywide energy and action plan as well as a resilience plan since the county is by the Potomac. He also discussed one of his major achievements while on the school board, which was banning styrofoam trays. He supports the Virginia Green New Deal’s goals, including switching completely to renewable energy by 2050.
“Let’s be clear, we are in a climate crisis,” Plerhoples said at the Fairfax County Healthy Communities Coalition forum. She said that the current efforts to promote climate change planning should have been done years ago, and that the county needs to work with the private sector to reduce greenhouse gases. Hewing close to her other comments on housing developers, She also said that the county would need to be stronger in preventing developers from building on flood plains where residents would be vulnerable.
The primary is June 11, when one candidate will earn the nomination and square off in the general election against Joseph Galdo, a Republican who entered the race in late April. He last unsuccessfully ran for office in 2014 as a Green Party candidate in the state’s 11th district race.

UPDATE 1-Landry's CEO sweetens offer to take co private
* New offer at $21/shr vs prior offer of $14.75
* Reaches partial settlement of lawsuit on merger
* Shares fall as much as 11 pct
April 27 (Reuters) - Landry's Restaurants Inc LNY.N said Chief Executive Tilman Fertitta agreed to raise his bid to take the company private by offering $21 per share, or about $341 million, in cash.
The new offer values the stock at a discount of 16 percent to its Monday close of $25.03.
Shares of the second-largest U.S. seafood restaurant operator were down 5 percent at $23.71 Tuesday afternoon, after having run up 55 percent since activist investor William Ackman blocked Fertitta's earlier bid of $14.75 in November.
Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP currently owns about 10 percent of Landry's outstanding shares and Fertitta about 50 percent, according to Reuters data.
Landry's said in a statement Tuesday that Fertitta reached a tentative partial settlement of a Delaware lawsuit in connection with his proposal to merge Landry's into his wholly owned company.
The Houston-based company added that any final agreement will have to be approved by the stockholders.
Fertitta has been trying to take the company private for two years. (Reporting by Renju Jose in Bangalore; Editing by Don Sebastian)

On May 24 the controversial bill to aggravate the Criminal Procedure Act was passed and reconfirmed by the House of Representatives: the revisions contain enhanced wire-tapping activities by state’s authorities, introduction of plea bargaining that may induce false charges and ‘a partial filming’ of police interrogation process. The next agenda for the police and prosecutor’s authorities is to enact a law to criminalize conspiracy.
DON’T ALLOW PRESENTATION OF BILL TO DIET TO ENACT LAW OF CONSPIRACY
A bill to criminalize conspiracy has been submitted to the Diet three times, but failed in vain.
The controversial bill is designed for a law to punish a person involved in an agreement at a stage when preparatory processes are absent and prior to conducting a certain criminal action, a period much earlier than consequences are brought about. For this reason the bill extremely ambiguous and imprecise as it does not describe concretely who should be penalized.
Concerning the past three submissions to the Diet, the bill defined ‘conspiracy’ as an act of ‘a person who connived with somebody in crime’. It did not elaborate content of crimes and did not provide a degree of concreteness of a crime.
Violation of rule of law
The bill provides other conditions in combination; ‘as an activity of a certain organization’ and ‘an act to be conducted by an organization in order to fulfill a specific action’. The definitions are exceedingly vague and uncertain and nulla poena sin lege, a doctrine of rule of law, is clearly infringed. The rule of law sets forth that a crime is established when a concrete action is committed and such an action must be defined unquestionably as a criminal act.
The bill sent to the Diet debates previously specified the crimes which set penalty over four years in prison, and it provided over 600 types of crimes, including theft and embezzlement, which cannot be called special crimes. Among these crimes is included violation of the Public Office Election Law. Clearly, the fundamental human rights, including freedom of expression, may be unjustly infringed.
Taking advantage of Revised Wire-tapping Law
The concept of conspiracy will penalize an agreement of private persons, so content of conversations among private persons can be investigated by police authority. Therefore, thanks to the revised Wire-tapping Law (Communication Interception Act), police authority will be allowed to survey conversations of people (by telephone, electronics mail, SNS and etc.). Consequently the right of people’s privacy may be dishonored to an exceeding level.
Until today the government has maintained that it is necessary to enact a law to criminalize conspiracy in order to ratify the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.
Sophism for Legislation
The UN Convention does not require creation of criminalization of conspiracy. It just demands each signing country to legislate necessary acts on the basis of the domestic laws. Japan can ratify the convention as it has rules to penalize a broad range of unlawful attempts and the penalty rules to apply to felonies.
In other words ratification of the convention and enactment of the law are different. The government’s explanation is an excuse to set up a crime of conspiracy. It does not make up a reason for legislation.
Accordingly, the bill does not deserve to be sent for the Diet debates, not to mention legislation. The content of the bill violates the principle of modern criminal code. It will bring in a hazardous system to breach markedly the fundamental human rights. The bill must not be submitted to the Diet.

As public safety agencies and other first responders look at their future radio needs, many are finding that radio spectrum is scarce and the demand for data transmission is more pronounced and often unachievable in narrow-band systems. Furthermore, increased functionality and secure communication is a growing necessity.
Luckily, a number of possible solutions are available, including a variety of digital technologies, but upgrading a communications network is expensive and time-consuming. Plus, the variety of platforms available can make the task of choosing a digital technology seem daunting. Each agency must take into account its individual needs and unique situation.
To help public safety agencies with this monumental transition, many look to APCO and the Project 25 (P25) set of standards. The P25 standards were created in 1989 by and for public safety under state, local and federal representatives and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) governance. APCO International, the National Association of State Telecommunications Directors (NASTD) and the National Communications System (NCS) participated in the joint effort, and P25 was standardized by TIA.
The P25 suite of standards involves digital land mobile radio (LMR) services for local, tribal, state and federal public safety organizations and agencies. It is a multi-phase, multi-year project to establish a standards profile for the operations and functionality of new digital narrowband LMR systems needed to satisfy the service, feature, and capability requirements of the public safety communications community for procuring and operating interoperable LMR equipment. As technologies evolve and the state of the art advances, new requirements may be defined, while existing requirements may be modified or deleted. The standards development is an evolutionary process, and ongoing adaptation is necessary as the needs of users and the capabilities of new technology advance. From its inception, the APCO Project 25 Steering Committee sought to establish open system standards to increase interoperability and allow multiple vendors to make competing products that are compatible.
The P25 systems available today are being deployed globally. They are gaining worldwide acceptance for public safety, security, public service and commercial applications. Many organizations and grantors have mandated that new land mobile radio system purchases follow P25 standards.
The equipment available today offers so much more than what was offered a few years ago. Just something as simple as being able to use any vendor’s portable radio on a single land-based system is a huge departure from the past. Project 25 and 700 MHz spectrum reallocation are all part of the new land-based radio future for first responders.
Mike Snyder, the public relations director at TIA, said the spectrum reallocation is a very complicated situation with a lot of interested parties, which is why the process is slow and arduous. “It’s a big tug of war,” he said. “It’s recognized where you talk spectrum that it’s kind of a finite resource and allocation of it is a big issue. Sooner or later you need it to be freed up to establish these networks, which will benefit everyone. They continue to address that and look into solutions.” TIA
is a trade association that represents the information and communications technology industries through standards development, government affairs, business opportunities, market intelligence, certification and worldwide environmental regulatory compliance. TIA facilitates such work through its role as the ANSI-accredited Standards Development Organization (SDO) and has developed in TR-8 the 102-series of technical documents. The standards development part of P25 is going quite well, according to Snyder, and TIA just released several new standards for people to purchase and implement.
Every aspect of Project 25 is designed to benefit public safety professionals who seek a new level of performance, efficiency, capabilities and quality in two-way radio communications. Four key objectives guided the APCO Project 25 Steering Committee through this open process: to provide enhanced functionality with equipment and capabilities focused on public safety needs; to improve spectrum efficiency; to ensure competition among multiple vendors through open systems architecture; and to allow effective, efficient and reliable intra-agency and inter-agency communications.
The committee was striving to provide “user friendly” equipment for users, “user friendly” being defined as the least amount of mental and physical interaction by the operator. And yet another goal was to provide a graceful path from present analog technologies through all phases of Project 25.
By adhering to these objectives, APCO P25 makes it easier for users to make the most informed decision possible when planning to convert existing analog systems to digital systems. Vendors’ P25-compliant systems can be accurately compared because they are determined by an agreed-upon baseline set of standards. This allows users to compare the direct features and benefits of both entire systems and individual radio products, making the bidding processes more competitive among prospective vendors. Plus, users have the opportunity to mix and match equipment among Project 25-compliant suppliers because their equipment will follow all basic standards. Within the past year, a Project 25 Compliance Assessment Process has been developed to test and declare equipment compliant to the standards. There is currently no official mark to indicate that compliance testing has been done. There is a P25 logo, but its application is not tied to any official testing program, according to the TIA.
“The people who develop these standards come from hundreds of different companies,” Snyder said. “Some are wireless, some are cable, some are satellite and some are fiber,” he said. Both users and manufacturers have played an important role in shaping P25. Overall, the P25 land-mobile radio vendor community has worked well together to provide a safe and effective two-way communications platform. The variety of people on the panels and the fact that many of them are competitors makes for a well-rounded and balanced set of standards. P25 SoR
The objective of the APCO Project 25 Statement of Requirements (SoR) is to establish a standards profile for the operations and functionality of new digital public safety radio systems. The document, dated Aug. 15, 2009, can be seen in its entirety at www.apco911.org/frequency/project25/documents/SOR-2009.pdf. The P25-compliant radios should be able to communicate in analog mode with legacy analog radios and in either digital or analog mode with other P25 radios. In addition, P25 systems should be able to be maintained and upgraded more cost effectively over the system’s lifecycle, thus meeting user requirements, achieving interoperability and security, promoting committed manufacturers to provide compliant products, fostering competition, and achieving cost-effective emergency/safety communication solutions.
There are actually two phases of P25 development: Phase 1, which specifies a 12.5 kHz bandwidth, is for the most part completed. Phase I defines the services and facilities for a compliant system and ensures that any manufacturer’s compliant radios have access to the services described in the SoR (including other systems, across system boundaries, backward compatibility, etc.), regardless of system infrastructure. In addition, the P25 system provides an open interface to the radio frequency (RF) subsystem to facilitate inter-linking of different vendors’ systems.
Phase 2 deals with the overall lack of spectrum and increasing demand. It refers to P25 requirements and standards for a digital common air interface (TDMA- or FDMA-based) using a 6.25 kHz channel or equivalent bandwidth and for the supporting system (i.e., radios and infrastructure). Both Project 25 Phase 1 FDMA standards and the more recent Phase 2 TDMA Standards will function well in both a rural and urban environment. However, in large urban areas where spectrum is a scarce commodity, the Phase 2 standards will provide both superior coverage and improved spectrum efficiency than may otherwise be available.
“There is still a ways to go,” Snyder said. “Obviously, we advocate for increased spectrum that can be allocated so these networks can be established so the P25 equipment can be mobilized and actually used. So we’re still kind of waiting for some of the pieces to fall into place.” CALL-OUTS: For more information on the P25 suite of standards and procuring radios, check out the following Web sites: www.project25.org www.apco911.org www.tiaonline.org To view the APCO Project 25 Statement of Requirements (SoR), visit http://www.apco911.org/frequency/project25/documents/SOR-2009.pdf.

Teams replaying suspended game from Dec. 1 in Kensington on Wednesday
KENSINGTON – This much is known – barring any unforeseen developments, either the Kensington Monaghan Farms Wild or Moncton Flyers will hold sole possession of first place in the New Brunswick/P.E.I. Major Midget Hockey League late Wednesday night.
The two teams enter a much-anticipated showdown at Credit Union Centre in Kensington tied for top spot in the six-team league with 35 points each. The Flyers, who have played one fewer game, are 17-1-1 (won-lost-overtime losses), with both setbacks coming to the Wild. Kensington is 17-2-1, with two of its three losses against Moncton.
The two teams began a game in Kensington on Dec. 1, but an unexpected power outage resulted in the suspension of play with the teams tied 1-1 in the second period. The league ruled the game would be played in its entirety, and was rescheduled for Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Both teams have been red hot as the Wild has won 12 league games in a row while the Flyers, winners of three straight, are 8-1-1 in their last 10.
This will be Moncton’s final visit to Kensington this season, and the teams have two more head-to-head meetings scheduled in Moncton on Dec. 29 and Jan. 25.
Third-year forward Ryan Richards leads the Wild with 31 points – 11 goals and a team-high 20 assists. Dixon MacLeod has a team-leading 13 goals, including five on the power play.
Patrick LeBlanc leads the Flyers’ offence with 40 points – 14 goals and a team-leading 26 assists. Alexis Dube leads the Flyers in goals – 20.
The teams are also evenly matched when it comes to special teams. On the power play, the Wild is clicking at 26 per cent while Moncton checks in at 22 per cent. Kensington has a 92-per-cent showing killing penalties, and Moncton is second at 88 per cent.
The Wild and Flyers have split four league games this season, with each team posting an overtime win. To illustrate the parity between the two teams, they played a third overtime game – a quarter-final win by the Wild – in the Monctonian AAA Challenge in November.
After Wednesday’s game, the Wild will close out the pre-Christmas schedule on the road against the Charlottetown Bulk Carriers Pride (10-11-1) at MacLauchlan Arena on Saturday at 6 p.m. The Wild’s annual Boxing Day game in Kensington against the Pride at 7:30 p.m. will start a stretch of eight of the team’s final 13 regular-season games a home.

I think the aspect of the design that I'm most pleased with is the wheels. These were the first aspect of the design to be realized. The design process moved rapidly and smoothly, and ordering the parts was relatively painless. It's satifying to send off a drawing you've spent a fair amount of time on, and get a perfectly cut part in return.
I was also pleased with the native code to read the sensors. It offered a substantial performance increase, and also gave me an opportunity to re-learn some C. It was nice that the native code "just worked", with very little configuration to go wrong.
After an initial setback, the motor drivers started working well. As hoped, they did not heat up excessively, and seemed to have no trouble controlling the motors. The driver boards turned out neat and compact, and mistakes during manufacture were kept to a minimum.
The robots appeared to perform quite well in the rounds where they worked. About 6 goals were scored by the robots before they were both permanently out of action. It was a shame that they didn't last longer. The bugs in the code were only ironed out by match 3, by which point it was too late for one of the robots.
The biggest problem was the breakage of the motors. This unfortunately only revealed itself a week before going out to the competition in Istanbul. What happened is a tooth broke off one of the gears in the motors' gearboxes. It appeared to be the same gear every time.
This happened twice before travelling out to Istanbul, at which point four spare motors were bought. It happened again while testing in the hotel room in Istanbul, and again during the practice round. This left no spare motors for the competition. As a result, the first robot lasted until partway through round 1, and the second one died during round 5. That left four rounds with only one of these robots, and four without any of these robots at all! Fortunately, we brought the robots from last year along as backup. We had really hoped not to have to use them.
I still don't know what caused the motor to break. I softened the control system after the first one broke, but that didn't stop the next 7 from breaking. It looks as though it might be a fault in the motors themselves, in which case a refund might be in order. I'll make sure to ask pololu, the vendor of the motors, what they think happened.
The biggest disappointment was not being able to fine tune the robot strategy. Testing the robots was ruled out, since there was too great a risk of motor breakage. As such, the ultrasonic sensors were not used to their full potential.
Before this project, I'd treated a motor as a black box that "just works". You send it a signal, and it does what you want it to. It turned out that it was actually a bit more complicated than that, and there was some more sophisticated electronics involved. It was a good experience to build, test, and use the motor drivers, but it was a lot of work, but if I do it again, I think I'll just buy pre-assembled ones.
When I started this project, the only thing I knew about C# is that it was "like Java". I am now fairly competent at it, and will likely apply it in other areas in the future. As well as the .NET Micro Framework, C# can be used in desktop applications, and as of recently, the Windows Phone 7 app market. It's a good skill to have.
Last year, I'd worked with a version control system called Subversion, usually abbreviated to SVN. I'd been using it as a plugin to Eclipse, so using it was fairly easy. It had a couple of large shortcomings though. Firstly, it is very difficult to cope with conflicts originating from working in different places at the same time. More importantly though, it can't be used without access to a central server: Without internet access, the history can't be recorded.
I introduced myself to Git on the command line. It gave me more of an insight as to what was going on behind the scenes. In general, it felt like a more robust system that SVN. Later, I stumbled across a GUI for Git, which removed the command-line-induced headaches.
Git is likely to be of great value to me in the future, whether it is used for software, or even for a report, like this one. I haven't really explored much of the collaboration aspect yet.
Had the motors been tested earlier on, the problem may have been diagnosed sooner, and a different type of motor could have been substituted. The way it went, there was not enough time for a redesign, only for a re-purchase.
