GENEVA -- The Omicron variant of the coronavirus is spreading faster than the Delta variant and is causing infections in people already vaccinated or who have recovered from the COVID-19 disease , the head of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) said on Monday . WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan added it would be `` unwise '' to conclude from early evidence that Omicron was a milder variant that previous ones . . '' .. with the numbers going up , all health systems are going to be under strain , '' Soumya Swaminathan told Geneva-based journalists . The variant is successfully evading some immune responses , she said , meaning that the booster programs being rolled out in many countries ought to be targeted towards people with weaker immune systems . `` There is now consistent evidence that Omicron is spreading significantly faster than the Delta variant , '' WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the briefing . `` And it is more likely people vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 could be infected or re-infected , '' Tedros said . Their comments echoed the finding of study by Imperial College London , which said last week the risk of reinfection was more than five times higher and it has shown no sign of being milder than Delta . WHO officials said however that other forms of immunity vaccinations may prevent infection and disease . While the antibody defences from some actions have been undermined , there has been hope that T-cells , the second pillar of an immune response , can prevent severe disease by attacking infected human cells . WHO expert Abdi Mahamud added : `` Although we are seeing a reduction in the neutralization antibodies , almost all preliminary analysis shows T-cell mediated immunity remains intact , that is what we really require . '' However , highlighting how little is known about how to handle the new variant that was only detected last month , Swaminathan also said : `` Of course there is a challenge , many of the monoclonals will not work with Omicron . '' She gave no details as she referred to the treatments that mimic natural antibodies in fighting off infections . Some drug makers have suggested the same . ENDING THE PANDEMIC In the short term , Tedros said that holiday festivities would in many places lead to `` increased cases , overwhelmed health systems and more deaths '' and urged people to postpone gatherings . `` An event cancelled is better than a life cancelled , '' he said . But the WHO team also offered some hope to a weary world facing the new wave that 2022 would be the year that the pandemic , which already killed more than 5.6 million people worldwide , would end . It pointed towards the development of second and third-generation vaccines , and the further development of antimicrobial treatments and other innovations . `` ( We ) hope to consign this disease to a relatively mild disease that is easily prevented , that is easily treated , '' Mike Ryan , the WHO 's top emergency expert , told the briefing . `` If we can keep virus transmission to minimum , then we can bring the pandemic to an end . '' However Tedros also said China , where the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus was first detected at the end of 2019 , must be forthcoming with data and information related to its origin to help the response going forward . `` We need to continue until we know the origins , we need to push harder because we should learn from what happened this time in order to ( do ) better in the future , '' Tedros said .

R. Kelly released a new lengthy track titled `` I Admit '' where he sings about sleeping with `` young ladies '' and shares that he was `` touched '' by a family member as a child . He also addresses several rumors about his life , including that he 's illiterate , on the 19-minute-long song , which was released on Facebook Live . But the majority of `` I Admit '' addresses decades-long claims of sexual misconduct , including 21 counts of child pornography . R. Kelly , whose birth name is Robert Kelly , was acquitted on those pornography charges in 2008 , ending a six-year investigation . In April , R. Kelly faced renewed pressure when Time 's Up unveiled a new campaign , # MuteRKelly , that targeted the R & B singer . The campaign released an open letter that drew attention to the numerous sexual misconduct allegations R. Kelly has faced and referenced a 2017 BuzzFeed report that claimed Kelly held several young women in a `` cult . '' In a statement to ABC News , R. Kelly 's attorney , Linda Mensch , denied the cult allegations . `` Mr. Robert Kelly is both alarmed and disturbed at the recent revelations attributed to him , ” she said in a statement in July 2017 . “ Mr . Kelly unequivocally denies such allegations and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name . '' In a separate statement the singer 's rep said in part that he `` supports the pro-women goals of the Time ’ s Up movement . We understand criticizing a famous artist is a good way to draw attention to those goals -- -and in this case , it is unjust and off-target . '' Still , R. Kelly shared a never-before-heard incident that occurred when he was `` a child to the age of 14 '' where he claims in the song that `` a family member touched me ... while I laid asleep , took my virginity . '' `` So scared to say something , so I just put the blame on me , '' he sings on `` I Admit . '' `` Now here I am , and I 'm tryin ' my best to be honest/'Cause the sources out there tryna keep me from being an artist/I admit I 'm at rock bottom . '' The singer -- who compares himself to disgraced comedian Bill Cosby , who was found guilty of sexual assault earlier this year -- also explained on his song why he decided to address the rumors this way . `` I never thought it would come to this , to be the most disrespected artist/So I had to write a song about this , 'cause they always take my words and twist it , '' he sang . `` Believe me it 's hard to admit all this , but I 'm in my feelings about this s -- -/But I had to set the f -- -in ' record straight . '' Here 's a breakdown of the song 's lyrics : R. Kelly on creating a cult `` What 's the definition of a cult ? / What 's the definition of a sex slave ? / Go to the dictionary , look it up/ Let me know I 'll be here waiting ... Some like to get branded/ And what some of these girls want , is too much for the radio station/ Look I 'm just a man y'all/ Not a monster or beast/ But I admit there are times when these girls so fine , they 'll chill with a n -- -- for a week . '' R. Kelly on rumors that he 's slept with underage women `` I admit I f -- - with all the ladies , that 's both older and young ladies/ But tell me how they call it pedophile because that s -- - is crazy/ You may have your opinions , entitled to your opinions/ But really am I supposed to go to jail or lose my career because of your opinion . '' R. Kelly on past sex tape with teenage girl `` She said 'What about the tape ? '/ I said hush/ I said my lawyer said 'Do n't say noth ' '' / But I can tell you I 've been set up ( up ) . '' R. Kelly on rumors that he is illiterate `` I admit I ca n't spell for s -- -/ I admit that all I hear is hits/ I admit that I could n't read the teleprompter when the Grammy 's asked me to present . '' R. Kelly on Time 's Up movement `` Cancel my shows , that s -- - ai n't right/ How they gon ' say I do n't respect these women , when all I 've done is represent/ Take my career and turn it upside down , 'cause you mad I 've got some girlfriends ... Ai n't seen my kids in years , they tryna lock me up like Bill/ ... Now here comes this big a -- conspiracy . '' A rep for the singer did n't immediately return ABC News ' request for comment .

In Angola it is a crime to speak ill of the President . The man , who for the past 37 years has led the ruling MPLA party ( the Peoples ' Movement for the Liberation of Angola ) is accustomed to hearing only praise from within his party 's ranks . Yet on the eve of what was expected to be a slickly-organized party congress , aiming to re-establish José Eduardo dos Santos as the party 's sole candidate for President in next year 's elections , there has been an unprecedented public condemnation from a senior party cadre . `` The popular appeal of the MPLA - the party of the President and head of state [ José Eduardo dos Santos ] - is at an all-time low thanks to his 'shenanigans ' . He gives the party a bad name - and when he falls , he will drag the innocent members of the MPLA down with him . '' This stunning denunciation from Ambassador Ambrósio Lukoki , a 40-year veteran of the MPLA Central Committee , was delivered at a news conference in Luanda , as he revealed that he had asked for his name to be taken off the list of candidates for election to the Central Committee . This is the first time a member of the central committee has dared to criticise the president since 1977 ( the tragic events of the 27th of May , in which explicit party dissent led to the killings of several leading members of the party along with senior government and military figures . Explaining why he would turn his back on more than 40 years of loyal service , he said that as a nationalist , he could no longer tolerate the lack of democracy at the heart of his party . `` It is wrong and harmful yet it continues to be the hallmark of the current trajectory of the MPLA party , '' the Ambassador said . `` How much longer can this regime go on stamping out the waves of protest ? When will the regime understand the signs of the times and pay attention to the criticisms that are leveled at it ? '' Ambassador Lukoki wants his party to react before it is too late , saying it is imperative to turn around the current situation inside the party machine which continues to present itself as though this were a one-party state in which the state and the party are indistinguishable , even though both are `` sinking '' . Ambrósio Lukoki has long had the reputation of a man unafraid to criticize the President directly at MPLA meetings . Now he has stated this criticism in public , also denouncing his own colleagues as nothing more than `` yes men '' . `` What the country needs is ethical authority , not straw men , '' he emphasized . To the public 's astonishment , Ambassador Lukoki spoke out about what he called `` a spirit of silent insurrection and revolt '' which is spreading across the country . He said the levels of public support for the MPLA , as seen at its large public events and in its propaganda , `` are false '' and `` melting away '' . From his perspective , the lack of popularity affecting the party today is `` the price being paid by the MPLA because of its servility towards José Eduardo dos Santos , allowing itself to be used by him as a launch pad for his absolutist style of government . '' And he had a clear message for the MPLA cohort : it should not be up to Dos Santos to step down from power and from the party leadership when he wishes , but the MPLA which should be showing him the door . `` For as long as the MPLA fails to dissociate itself from José Eduardo dos Santos it will be unable to regain its soul as a progressive party . '' He ended by calling on his comrades to show `` strength , courage and wisdom '' and to fight together again , but this time with ideas , for liberty and justice in Angola . Ambassador Lukoki 's message to his comrades-in-arms , fellow party members , and the nation at large , may be the single most significant moment of this gathering of Angola 's ruling party . Coming as it does at a difficult time for Angola , it may yet prove a turning point .

Philadelphia Political Consultant Pleads Guilty In Attempt To Conceal Campaign Finance-Related Fraud PHILADELPHIA – Political consultant Gregory Naylor , 66 , of Philadelphia , pleaded guilty today to making false statements to federal agents and misprision of a felony in connection with his role in attempting to conceal two campaign finance-related fraud schemes . According to court documents , the charges stem from Naylor ’ s participation in two campaign finance-related schemes initiated by a long-time friend and employer , identified in the information as Elected Official A . In the first scheme , Naylor helped conceal the theft of federal grant funds and private charitable funds that were used to repay an illegal campaign debt incurred by Elected Official A during a 2007 campaign for elected office . Specifically , Naylor was aware that large amounts of money from an unexplained source were being spent on Elected Official A ’ s campaign , and Naylor helped to conceal the source of those funds by preparing a false invoice for services rendered by his consulting firm . Naylor subsequently learned that Elected Official A and others orchestrated the theft of federal grant funds to repay the outstanding balance of the campaign debt , and he agreed to the falsification of campaign finance reports to further conceal Elected Official A ’ s activities . The charges were announced by United States Attorney Zane David Memeger of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania , Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department ’ s Criminal Division , FBI Special Agent in Charge Edward Hanko and IRS Criminal Investigations Special Agent-in-Charge Akeia Conner . The plea was entered by U.S. District Court Judge Harvey Bartle III of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania . Also according to court documents , in the second scheme , Naylor conspired with Elected Official A to pay down portions of the college debt of Elected Official A ’ s son using federal and local campaign funds . Some of the payments originated directly from the local campaign fund , and some were illegally sourced from Elected Official A ’ s federal campaign election committee and passed through the local campaign fund account to Naylor . Naylor made approximately $ 22,000 in improper payments between August 2007 and April 2011 at Elected Official A ’ s request . Naylor also falsely claimed on IRS forms that the payments made towards the college debt were earned income to Elected Official A ’ s son for services rendered as an independent contractor to Naylor ’ s consulting firm . When confronted by federal agents in investigative interviews about the payments , Naylor lied on two occasions and repeated his cover story that the son of Elected Official A was an independent contractor working for his political consulting firm . U.S. District Court Judge Harvey Bartle III scheduled a sentencing hearing for December 2 , 2014 . Naylor faces a maximum possible statutory sentence of 13 years in prison , a fine of up to $ 500,000 , and up to three years of supervised release .

FOLLOW ON Advertisement FILE - The employment insurance section of the Government of Canada website is shown on a laptop in Toronto on April 4 , 2020 . THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jesse Johnston OTTAWA -- The employment insurance system is set for another round of pandemic-related changes that come into force on Sunday . Here are a few of the key changes that will apply to new claims for benefits made beginning Sept. 26 . EI applicants need to have worked a minimum number of hours to qualify for benefits . In the past , that number has been about 600 hours , although the number varied in different parts of the country based on local labour market conditions . Many workers have had their hours cut during the pandemic , meaning they may not have worked enough hours to qualify . Over the last year , all new EI applicants received a one-time hours top-up to help them qualify , but that disappears on Sunday . In its place will be a uniform requirement to have worked 420 hours . The uniform hours requirement will be in place for one year , until Sept. 24 , 2022 . The government is also requiring anew a medical certificate proving an applicant is sick and ca n't work to receive EI sickness benefits . The requirement was waived temporarily over the last year because of COVID-19 . The weekly floor on benefits will decline to $ 300 from $ 500 , in line with the value of payments under the Canada Recovery Benefit that is available for those who do n't qualify for EI . The weekly floor is planned to apply to claims made between Sept. 26 and Nov. 20 . The duration and value of benefits will once again be calculated using regional unemployment rates that were temporarily replaced over the last year by a uniform unemployment rate of 13.1 per cent . EI officials will also use simplified rules around severance and vacation pay so claimants should be able to start receiving benefits sooner . The payments can delay the start and value of benefits . However , there will once again be a one-week wait before benefits flow for any new EI claims after the waiting period was waived over the last year . Anyone with an existing EI claim wo n't see any changes to the value or duration of their benefits with these new rules . As well , seasonal workers in 13 regions will still be eligible for five extra weeks of EI regular benefits until October 2022 . The pilot project provides the extra weeks to seasonal workers who started a claim between Aug. 5 , 2018 and this coming Oct. 30 , provided they had three claims for regular or fishing benefits in the last five years , and at least two started around the same time of year .

I was born there , my dad was born there , his dad before him , born deep in the heart of Texas . Once a Texan , always a Texan . Texans say that Alaska is one big ice cube , melt it down and they put it in their drink , and Hawaii they could put in their shirt pocket . All in fun . The Lone Star State and our 50th state have one thing in common , how you treat people , they call it hospitality , we call it aloha .

They don ’ t know , they just look up at mom and dad and wonder . We don ’ t see Uncle Ray and his wife hugging each other , staring at the house they lived in since the ‘ 50s , the place the kids grew up , gone , and no money to move anywhere . We don ’ t see the shame of the proud Texan in a shelter thinking of his wonderful suburban home , all he had in his life , lost in the mud . He hides his tears , he ’ s a Texan .

Thursday , March 31 2011 Department of Justice United States Attorney William C. Killian Eastern District of Tennessee FEDERAL JURY CONVICTS FRANCISCO MARTIN ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGES GREENEVILLE , Tenn - Following a two-day trial in U.S. District Court , Greeneville , Tenn. , on March 30 , 2011 , a jury convicted Francisco Martin of Jefferson City , Tenn. , of receipt of child pornography , possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography . Sentencing is set for August 29 , 2011 , at 9:00 a.m. , in U.S. District Court in Greeneville . Martin faces a sentence of at least five years up to 20 years in prison , a fine of up to $ 250,000 and up to life on supervised release following the prison term . The investigation of Martin began when an Internet Crimes Against Children ( ICAC ) Task Force officer at the Morristown Police Department , in an undercover online investigation , downloaded child pornography from Martin ’ s computer . The FBI executed a search warrant at Martin ’ s home where numerous computers were seized . A forensic examination of the seized computers revealed over 2,400 images containing child pornography and hundreds of videos containing child pornography . Martin exercised his right to represent himself at trial . He argued before the court that the court did not have jurisdiction over him and that the United States Constitution created and protected a right to obtain the images of child pornography from the internet . Both arguments were rejected by the court . Law enforcement agencies participating in the joint investigation which led to indictment and subsequent conviction of Martin included the Morristown Tennessee Police Department ICAC Task Force and the Federal Bureau of Investigation . Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Gregory Bowman represented the United States . This case was brought as part of Public Safe Childhood ( PSC ) , a Department initiative launched in 2006 that aims to combat the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children . Led by U.S. Attorneys ’ Offices and the Department of Justice Criminal Division ’ s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section , PSC marshals federal , state , tribal and local resources to better locate , apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet , as well as to identify and rescue victims .

Advertisement FOLLOW ON Humboldt Broncos hockey player Ryan Straschnitzki , who was paralyzed following a bus crash that killed 16 people , speaks to the media as his mother Michelle , looks on in Calgary , Alta. , Wednesday , April 25 , 2018 . ( THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh ) The mother of a hockey player paralyzed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash says she 's stunned by the progress he has made since receiving spinal surgery in Thailand . Doctors implanted an epidural stimulator in Ryan Straschnitzki 's spine earlier this month and a week later injected stem cells above and below the injury in the hope that will help reverse some of the damage . The 20-year-old from Airdrie , Alta. , is to remain in Thailand until early December . `` Hands down I 'm 200 per cent behind this . I did n't expect this kind of result this quickly , '' Michelle Straschnitzki said in an interview . `` It 's definitely not a quick fix . It 's not a cure , but it 's certainly progress and it 's more than we 've had in 19 months . '' Tom Straschnitzki , who is also in Thailand , has posted a number of videos of his son 's rehab , including one where the young man was able to move a leg . Another video shows him strapped into a harness as physiotherapists slowly help him walk with the use of a machine on wheels . `` Bout time he got off his ass . 1st time since he boarded the bus that horrendous day , '' Straschnitzki tweeted . `` Therapist helping with knees and ankles so they do n't buckle . Ryan did so good , I sent him to the beer store for me . '' Straschnitzki was one of 13 players who were injured when an inexperienced truck driver blew through a stop sign and into the path of the Saskatchewan junior hockey team 's bus in April 2018 . Sixteen others on the bus died . Straschnitzki , who was paralyzed from the chest down , has said he is n't expecting a cure but hopes the implant will restore some muscle movement and things such as bladder control . A small device like a remote control is to send electrical currents to his spinal cord to try to stimulate nerves and move limbs . The implant is being programmed to stimulate certain nerves mapped out by surgeons and therapists . The surgery can cost up to $ 100,000 and is n't covered by public health care or insurance , because the epidural procedure has not been approved by Health Canada . The family is paying for it themselves . It is also performed in countries such as the United States and Switzerland , but it is much cheaper in Thailand . The player 's mother , who did n't go to Thailand , said he 's been low key when she 's talked to him . `` In typical Ryan fashion he 's very quiet . All he says is he 's very tired and you can tell . His body , his mind , everything is tired because he 's pushing as far as he can . '' Her son takes part in nerve mapping in the morning , does physio in the afternoon and then does more work with the implant , she said . He still plans to hit the ice in Bangkok with his hockey sledge before returning home . Straschnitzki said seeing her boy 's progress on the videos stunned her . `` I was just absolutely floored . It obviously brought the tears . I was bawling . It was unreal , '' she said . `` Tom said the last time Ryan walked was when he walked on the bus and then , to watch him moving his legs , walking essentially , that just rocked me . '' This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 22 , 2019 .

Sand mining , export stopped at Maui Lani construction project Maui News readers report sand movement over the weekend The Honolulu-based concrete production company that has been moving sand from Central Maui to other places off-site , including Oahu , has stopped transporting sand , following a formal notice from Maui County regarding permit issues on Monday . Honolulu Construction & Draying President Wade Wakayama said in an email Wednesday afternoon that no sand has been hauled out of a Maui Lani project since Monday . HC & D is reviewing the Maui County notice , he said . Last week , Wakayama said HC & D ’ s grading activity at Maui Lani was in compliance with its current grading permit . But county Department of Planning Director William Spence said last week that grading permits were issued properly , but the excavation and exporting of “ high-quality sand for making concrete and other purposes meets the definition of a ‘ resource extraction. ’ ” Resource extraction may require either a special or conditional use permit , he said . While sand mining is not illegal , some community members are concerned about the resource being depleted and shipped off-island and archaeological damage . Spence said in an email Wednesday that county officials had considered sending a warning letter via regular certified mail , but thought it would take too long . So , the county emailed the warnings Friday and hand-delivered them on Monday to Maui Lani Partners and HC & D . Through a Uniform Information Practices Act request , The Maui News obtained the letter sent to the companies as well as emails between the county and HC & D . The warning email was sent to Wakayama at 4:40 p.m. Friday , after the Planning Department found a correct email address for the company . The letter sent via email and hand-delivered to the companies asks HC & D and Maui Lani to “ correct any violations immediately upon receipt of this notice. ” The letter from John Rapacz , administrator of the Planning Department ’ s Zoning Administration and Enforcement Division , also said that resource extraction use is not permitted within the Maui Lani Project District . It added that fines could be assessed if violations occur . Rapacz said in the email late Friday afternoon to HC & D that the notice of warning is dated May 1 , but that allowed for U.S . Postal Service delivery . In an email reply to Rapacz on Monday , Wakayama said he was not in the office for several days so he did not receive a letter other than the email . “ We ’ ve stopped any grading work as of today ( Monday ) until clarification , etc . can be determined , ” he wrote . Spence said that he has not heard from Maui Lani Partners . The Maui News was unable to reach Maui Lani Partners officials for comment on Wednesday . “ We will monitor for compliance , ” Spence said . Wakayama told The Maui News that the company has updated the county on its on-site activities and would continue to work with the county to ensure HC & D ’ s work is carried out properly and in permit compliance . “ Any work on the site since ( Monday ) are for purposes of erosion and dust control as well as stabilization which are normal and important safety practices , ” Wakayama said . The Maui News readers reported over the weekend that they believed they saw sand moving from the Maui Lani site . Spence said : “ It ’ s disturbing to me that hauling may have taken place on Saturday because it sure seems all of the parties were already aware of the issue , but it illustrates our concern to get the warnings into their hands. ” The county ’ s investigation into the sand matter was triggered by a KHON2 news report investigation into grading and sand moving work in Central Maui , county officials said . The report said Maui Lani Partners has a permit to excavate at one of its sites . A map shows the land is adjacent to Maui Lani Parkway and west of The Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course . The news report said trucks transport the sand to a mound on land leased from Alexander & Baldwin . HC & D , formerly know as Ameron , is the lessee and through another permit moves sand from the site to a barge at Kahului Harbor , where it is shipped to the company ’ s plant on Oahu . Maui Lani Partners has said all earth-moving activities are overseen by an archaeological monitor in accordance with the state-approved monitoring plan . There have been reports of sign-waving rallies on Maui this week in opposition to sand mining . Last week , Mayor Alan Arakawa sent a letter to the Maui County Council to consider a moratorium on sand mining , as he suggested in 2006 . Maui County spokesman Rod Antone said that officials in the mayor ’ s office , Corporation Counsel , Public Works and Planning departments , along with Council Member Bob Carroll , met Tuesday to see what could be done about sand mining . Antone said Carroll volunteered his staff to come up with new legislation while the Planning Department enforces existing zoning rules and regulations . “ Both the mayor and the councilman are very passionate about this issue , ” Antone said . Carroll has been trying to stop sand mining since 2001 . * Melissa Tanji can be reached at mtanji @ mauinews.com .

'We will never forget ' : Livonia pays tribute to fallen city , Michigan police officers One warm evening in a quiet spot named for one of their heroes , Livonia police officers gathered to pay respect to the fallen . The city 's fourth annual police memorial ceremony , Tuesday at Larry Nehasil Park , was a tribute to the four Livonia officers who died in the line of duty in the city 's 68-year history , plus to the seven Michigan officers who lost their lives on the job in the past year . `` We will not forget . We will never forget , '' said Kurtis Wilder , a Michigan Supreme Court justice and the keynote speaker . The ceremony was attended by several dozen uniformed officers , as well as by police retirees , public officials , representatives from other departments and family members of the Livonia officers being honored . Wilder offered thanks to law enforcement family members who , he said , will never again be able to welcome home their loved ones . His participation Tuesday , Wilder said , had special meaning for him , as in 2012 he had the honor of presenting a recognition from the Police Officers Association of Michigan to Nehasil 's widow , Linda . `` He was committed to getting the job done and protecting his community , '' Wilder said . Nehasil , 48 , was killed Jan. 17 , 2011 , in an exchange of gunfire with a burglar police had been tracking . The gunman died as well , while his brother , an accomplice who was also at the scene , was sentenced to decades in prison for the murder . Nehasil , Wilder said , was `` standing in the gap to protect others from harm '' and made the ultimate sacrifice . Also honored were three other Livonia officers who died on duty : Sidney Dethloff , who was struck by a car , in 1952 ; James Kelley , who suffered a heart attack , in 1992 ; and Ervin Johnston , who also suffered a heart attack , in 2007 . Wilder shared comments about the seven Michigan officers who died on the job since last year 's ceremony from people who knew them personally , using words like `` big-hearted , '' `` kind , '' `` loyal '' and `` tough . '' They are : Officer Jonathan Ginka , Norton Shores Police Department ; Corrections Officer Thomas Bunker , Otsego County Sheriff 's Office ; Trooper Timothy O'Neill , Michigan State Police ; Deputy Eric Overall , Oakland County Sheriff 's Office ; Officer Donald Kimbrough , Detroit Police Department ; Officer Glenn Doss Jr. , Detroit Police Department ; and Officer Darren Weathers , Detroit Police Department . As Sgt . James Green listed each of the deceased , uniformed officers , sometimes accompanied by survivors , placed a flower on a wreath at the park 's memorial plaza . Police Chief Curtis Caid said he `` could n't be more proud '' of Livonia 's police officers . Despite police work being `` more challenging than ever , '' with officers confronting multiple societal problems on a daily basis , `` Members of the Livonia Police Department are absolutely committed to our residents , businesses and visitors , '' Caid said . Caid also presented a shadow-box display case to Livonia Lt. Greg Winn with artifacts representing Winn 's 39-year career . Winn , commander of the department 's honor guard , is retiring this month . More : How far is it to the hole ? Now at Livonia courses , the golf carts can tell you More : Family expands Italian restaurant empire with Antonio 's Piccolo Ristorante in Livonia The ceremony included a flag-lowering by Judge Don Knapp of Wayne County Circuit Court , a former Livonia city attorney ; bagpipe renditions of `` Going Home '' and `` Amazing Grace '' by Harold Higgins , a retired officer ; the playing of `` Taps '' on the bugle by Officer Kenny Thomas ; and a 21-gun salute . It was not without its lighter moments , however , as when Caid skipped the wreath-laying and had to backtrack , or when he thanked the police chaplains for the nice weather . `` We just ask . We 're not in control , '' said Pastor Joel Lindman , one of the chaplains . Larry Nehasil 's twin sister Lori Caid , who is married to the chief , has attended all four of the annual ceremonies . She said her late brother is `` our hero '' and that when she sees his badge No . 450 , in different places , she takes it as a positive sign from him . Nehasil Park has a special meaning for Livonia officers as a tribute to their fallen brothers , she said . `` It 's a reflection of who these officers were and what they meant to the community , '' she said .

Baltimore city schools CEO Andres Alonso has released his 2012 message to the district on testing integrity , as the school system gears up to begin administering the Maryland School Assessements to students in grades three through eight on March 12 . A story on Monday outlined the district 's efforts this year to continue its heightened scrutiny during the testing season , a measure Alonso began last year by hiring more than 200 external monitors to act as an extra set of eyes , ears and troubleshooters in schools giving the exams . Alonso took the extra steps to quell any doubt that the city 's 2011 test scores were clean -- overall scores dropped , deeply in some individual schools after the increased monitoring -- amid ongoing confirmations that test tampering has occured during his tenure . The flurry of cheating scandals , three in two years , has seen at least one city school principal stripped of her teaching lesson and another currently going through a legal battle with the district to save their career . In this year 's message to the district , found by clicking here , Alonso said there could be more city principals facing the same sanction , publicly acknowledged that he had testified in recent weeks in favor of stripping a principal of their teaching license just last week . He also said he will testify in another case of suspected test tampering . `` If there is anybody that is thinking about any kind of gaming or irregularity , they 'd better understand that their entire professional livelihood is on the line , '' Alonso said . `` We 're not talking about termination , I am not talking about a transfer . I am talking about , possibly losing a professional license . '' The schools chief also said in his message that cheating was the exception , and the vast majority of schools administer the assessments honestly and without issues . He also outlined all of the steps that schools can take to ensure there are no perceived or real improprieties . He also encouraged school leaders to contact the district in case of any questions , telling them , `` if you have any doubt about what is acceptable or not , please call ... it makes a difference whether I hear from you , or someone else . '' `` This is so important that our kids achieve and that everybody in the city , the state , the nation and the world understands what our kids can do , '' he told the district . `` Nothing is harder than this ... but there is no place for dishonesty in our system . Those who believe that there is , are playing with their livelihoods . We are so on this . '' The schools chief began his video by opening with how important standardized test scores are , and what they have illustrated in the last four years . The school system administers the Stanford 10 tests to students in grades 1 & 2 ; MSAs to grades 3-8 ; and the High School Assessments , a state graduation requirement , to grades 9-12 . `` These tests together have shown tremendous progress in student achievement….they have pointed out the incredible potential of our students and the hardwork and commitment of you , and they suggest that your hard work , the reforms of recent years , are paying off , '' Alonso said . `` They also serve to point out where we could be doing a better job of educating our kids , '' he continued . `` As much as they 're a measure of student achievement , these tests area powerful reality check , an accountability moment for us , the adults charged with ensuring our students ' success at school . '' Meanwhile , the president of the city 's principal union told the school board last week that he believes the outcome of an ongoing administrtive hearing will shed light on flaws in the district 's process for investigating cheating claims , and its recent moves toward pay-for-performance . He also called for the system to hold off on 16 current investigations , the district had only publicized 12 , pending the outcome of that hearing -- suggesting that the union expects to be victorious . erica.green @ baltsun.com Follow me on Twitter : twitter.com/EricaLG

The problem with authoritarian control is that when things go wrong you own the consequencesby George Magnus / August 9 , 2018 / Leave a comment It ’ s summer in China and , as usual , Beijing is hot and humid . The political climate is not dissimilar . According to recent stories emanating from the capital , not everyone in the Communist Party hierarchy is happy with Xi Jinping ’ s handling of the trade disputes with the United States . But disquiet goes further than this . Remember that at last autumn ’ s 19th Party Congress , President Xi was almost deified , cast as one of China ’ s great leaders alongside Mao and Deng Xiaoping . Having already established strong control over the party , the army and the internal security apparatus , Xi was hailed as an unassailable authoritarian to lead China towards 21st century prosperity and great power status . At the National People ’ s Congress in March this year , the 10-year term limit on the presidency was abandoned and extensive institutional reforms were announced , designed to strengthen the control of both party and Xi . This no-nonsense approach to government was contrasted with the huffing and puffing of western democracies nowadays . But more savvy observers warned that the trouble with strong-man government is that when something goes wrong , there ’ s only one person to carry the can . This problem is exacerbated by Xi-style authoritarianism that tends to stifle opponents and dissent , and discourage alternative ways of thinking . We can see in China this summer why this more sceptical view is now holding sway . Last week , the Communist Party announced a new ideological campaign , or “ patriotic struggle , ” targeting specifically the country ’ s intellectuals . This dovetails with other campaigns that have targeted western values , universities and trade unions , religious minorities , human rights activists and poor urban migrants . The new campaign follows the publication of a widely shared essay published on a Hong Kong website by Xu Zhangrun , a Tsinghua University legal scholar , which has captured opposition to Xi ’ s China . It warns of the danger of the return to totalitarianism , and appeals to end the cult of personality and reintroduce presidential term limits . The government ’ s reaction was not typical of one that is comfortable and secure . There are more problems for Xi . Officials in Jilin province have uncovered a scandal involving a private pharmaceutical company with deep political connections to the party . Changsheng Biotechnology Company falsified production data for a diphtheria , tetanus and whooping cough vaccine . The party admitted , after finding faked data for its rabies vaccine last month , that this company had supplied more than 250,000 sub-standard doses of the triple vaccine , and another had supplied 400,000 similar injections . China has had previous health and safety scandals , exposing fast-and-loose corporate practices and corrupt local officials and supervisors . Yet , this sort of thing reflects even more badly on this president , who has nailed his colours to ( extra-judicial ) anti-corruption and party purity campaigns . “ 234 Belt and Road projects undertaken in 66 countries since 2013 have run into trouble ” President Xi ’ s personal association with the Belt and Road Initiative , China ’ s de facto 21st century foreign policy , means he is closely aligned with its successes and failures . There are many examples of the former , and a rising number of the latter . This year alone , for example , Chinese financing of infrastructure projects has been associated with a corruption scandal in Malaysia , an external debt crisis in Pakistan , financial stress in Cambodia and a hydro-electric dam safety issues in Colombia . There are many such cases , with a common cause that is flawed governance . According to the Washington consultancy RWR Advisory , 14 per cent or 234 of the 1,674 projects undertaken in 66 countries since 2013 have run into trouble . Even if most haven ’ t , the claim that Belt and Road offers an improved growth and financing model for the global economy , rather than a China-centric global footprint strategy , is proving increasingly hollow . The Shanghai Composite stock market index has fallen 23 per cent since its recent high in January , and is now around the worst levels reached in the 2015 crisis . The more closely managed Renminbi has fallen by over 8 per cent against the US dollar since the high in March to CNY6.83 , not too far off the CNY6.96 low at the end of 2016 . Both developments are related to the trade war with the US , but also to the Chinese economy losing traction and the loosening of policy . Of course the trade war has received plenty of coverage . Last month , the US implemented a new 25 per cent tariff on $ 50bn of imports from China . President Trump threatened to increase the tariff rate from 10 to 25 per cent on a further $ 200bn of imports from China , if the latter retaliated ( which it did ) , and even subject all $ 500bn or so of imports to tariffs . China ’ s riposte last week was to threaten variable tariffs on an additional $ 60bn of imports from the US . Since China only imports about $ 150bn of goods from the US , the scope for its own tit-for-tat tariffs is almost exhausted . If it wanted to continue hitting back at the US , it would have to resort to some combination of currency depreciation and punitive checks and regulations targeted at US products and companies doing business in China . The fall in the Renminbi so far has more or less compensated for the US tariffs imposed , but because China ’ s tariff capacity is now limited , any further widening of US tariffs would require the currency to fall to perhaps around 7.25-7.30 to the US dollar . Washington would see this as a serious escalation , and it would probably unhinge a number of other Asian currencies and global markets . For now , this might be a bridge too far and a major instability risk for China . Indeed , it acted late last week to penalise traders wanting to short the currency , and it will be interesting to watch the actions of the People ’ s Bank of China . As China ’ s top leaders gather for their annual meeting in Beidaihe this month , Xi ’ s position is almost certainly not under threat , to the extent that anyone can tell . Yet , the circumstances in which Xi ’ s China ’ s finds itself this summer , and its reactions to them , reveal something about the country and its president that doesn ’ t dovetail well with the conventional narrative .
