Oakland, California diocese names 45 accused of sexual abuse

The Catholic Diocese of Oakland, California, has released the names of 45 priests, deacons and religious brothers who officials say are "credibly accused" of sexually abusing minors.

The San Francisco Chronicle says Monday that Oakland's list goes back to 1962 — when the diocese was founded. None of the men are currently in the ministry. Of the 45 people named, 20 were priests.

Most have been previously identified but five names have not been in the public domain until now.

Stephan Wilcox, chancellor of the Oakland diocese, tells the newspaper he's reached out to survivors but hasn't yet spoken to all of them.

Oakland is the latest in a series of dioceses across the country to release names amid a scandal involving pedophile priests and decades of church cover-ups.

Tiny Neptune Moon Spotted by Hubble May Have Broken from Larger Moon

Astronomers call it “the moon that shouldn’t be there.”

After several years of analysis, a team of planetary scientists using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has at last come up with an explanation for a mysterious moon around Neptune that they discovered with Hubble in 2013.

The tiny moon, named Hippocamp, is unusually close to a much larger Neptunian moon called Proteus. Normally, a moon like Proteus should have gravitationally swept aside or swallowed the smaller moon while clearing out its orbital path.

So why does the tiny moon exist? Hippocamp is likely a chipped-off piece of the larger moon that resulted from a collision with a comet billions of years ago. The diminutive moon, only 20 miles (about 34 kilometers) across, is 1/1000th the mass of Proteus (which is 260 miles [about 418 kilometers] across).

“The first thing we realized was that you wouldn’t expect to find such a tiny moon right next to Neptune’s biggest inner moon,” said Mark Showalter of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. “In the distant past, given the slow migration outward of the larger moon, Proteus was once where Hippocamp is now.”

This scenario is supported by Voyager 2 images from 1989 that show a large impact crater on Proteus, almost large enough to have shattered the moon. “In 1989, we thought the crater was the end of the story,” said Showalter. “With Hubble, now we know that a little piece of Proteus got left behind and we see it today as Hippocamp.” The orbits of the two moons are now 7,500 miles (about 12,070 kilometers) apart.

Neptune’s satellite system has a violent and tortured history. Many billions of years ago, Neptune captured the large moon Triton from the Kuiper Belt, a large region of icy and rocky objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. Triton’s gravity would have torn up Neptune’s original satellite system. Triton settled into a circular orbit and the debris from shattered Neptunian moons re-coalesced into a second generation of natural satellites. However, comet bombardment continued to tear things up, leading to the birth of Hippocamp, which might be considered a third-generation satellite.

“Based on estimates of comet populations, we know that other moons in the outer solar system have been hit by comets, smashed apart, and re-accreted multiple times,” noted Jack Lissauer of NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, a coauthor on the new research. “This pair of satellites provides a dramatic illustration that moons are sometimes broken apart by comets.”

Hippocamp is a half-horse half-fish from Greek mythology. The scientific name for the seahorse is Hippocampus, also the name of an important part of the human brain. The rules of the International Astronomical Union require that the moons of Neptune are named after Greek and Roman mythology of the undersea world.

The team of astronomers in this study consists of M. Showalter (SETI Institute, Mountain View, California), I. de Pater (University of California, Berkeley, California), J. Lissauer (NASA Ames Research Center, Silicon Valley, California) and R. French (SETI Institute, Mountain View, California).

The paper will appear in the February 21 issue of the science journal Nature.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy in Washington, D.C.

College Promotes Men’s Cuddling Group To “Redefine Masculinity”

A Pennsylvania university is promoting the concept of men cuddling as a way to help them deal with stress and “redefine masculinity.”

Dr. Christopher Liang, a counseling psychology professor at Lehigh University’s College of Education, recently came out in support of a Philadelphia area “Men‘s Therapeutic Cuddle Group,” a function advertised by Lehigh University in a news release. The Meetup.com page for the group currently has 69 members and the group has held 46 events so far. The meetups are held once every other week.

Organizers have established quite an expansive set of guidelines for attendees. The men attending must be “hygienically sound” and  “remain fully clothed at all times.” The group’s organizers state that all cuddling is “non-sexual.” However, they do note that participants may become aroused during cuddling and that if that occurs, it should be treated as a normal thing.

Liang believes that “these types of groups can be healthy and helpful for men and women,” according to the news release.

The professor suggested that groups like the “Men’s Therapeutic Cuddle Group” can help men who didn’t learn to deal with stress in healthy ways, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He also hopes that such groups will help men get past a singular, binding version of masculinity, according to the article.

He remarked that “if this is something that’s more comfortable for men…then it can do a whole lot of good.”

Dr. Liang was also recently on a board of the American Psychological Association (APA). He helped create the organization’s first set of guidelines for psychologists whose practices involve working with men and boys. In the news release accompanying the APA’s guidelines, the APA noted several trends among males in America, including the fact that men “commit 90 percent of homicides in the United States and represent 77 percent of homicide victims.”

“Traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful,”  the APA’s news release said while adding that “socializing boys to suppress their emotions causes damage that echoes both inwardly and outwardly.”

Liang and Lehigh University did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication.

Egypt says security forces kill 11 militants in Sinai

Egypt says its police forces have killed 11 militants in the northern Sinai Peninsula, after several attacks in the last two days have killed eight policemen and three civilians in the restive area.

An Interior Ministry statement Thursday says security forces exchanged fire with the Islamic militants, but no casualties were reported among the police as they stormed the insurgent hideout in the Mediterranean coastal city of el-Arish.

The ministry says it found weapons, two explosive devices and two explosive belts.

On Wednesday, Egyptian security officials said two separate explosive attacks overnight killed four policemen, a day after an Islamic State suicide bomber killed four policemen and three civilians.

Egypt has for years battled Islamic militants in Sinai.

March 29, 2019

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Euro zone banks are supplying credit to all corners of the bloc and the European Central Bank’s upcoming round of cheap loans is merely designed to “protect” that channel, ECB board member Benoit Coeure said on Friday.

“Today, the bank lending channel in the euro area is fully operational after years of fragmentation,” Coeure told an event in Paris.

“To protect this achievement, we decided at our last monetary policy meeting in March to launch a new series of targeted long-term refinancing operations, ‘TLTRO-III’, starting in September 2019.”

Burial program for veterans in Texas reaches milestone, as 100th unaccompanied veteran laid to rest

As dozens gathered Tuesday at Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery to show their respects at a funeral for an unaccompanied veteran, the 100th such service, a state agency announced the milestone to give those who served their country a proper sendoff.

United States Army veteran Major Lee Shotwell died in November at the age of 73, but no immediate family members were found to claim his body. Little was known about Shotwell, who served in the Army from Dec. 6, 1963, to Dec. 6, 1966.

“We don’t know what he did or where he went, but none the less today he is our brother,” Marc George with the Christian Motorcyclist Association told FOX7.

SENATORS INTRODUCE 'GREEN ALERT' LEGISLATION TO ESTABLISH NATIONWIDE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR MISSING VETERANS

Shotwell became the 100th unaccompanied veteran to be laid to rest in Texas with full military honors since the Texas General Land Office created the Unaccompanied Veterans Program in 2015. The program provides a burial with full military honors if a relative of a veteran does not come forward after their death.

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, who started the program, told FOX7 he has been "thrilled" with the progress over the past couple years.

"We started this in 2015, we found savings in our budget to make it work," Bush said. "Other states have approached us including the Federal VA to replicate this in other parts of the country, we’ve actually reunited a handful of families through this program, but to me, it’s a reminder that there are many of our battle buddies that are being left behind. To me, this is a platform to speak to a larger set of issues that we see in the veterans community."

Bush now wants to expand the program to include other state cemeteries across Texas. He's pushing for state lawmakers to provide the program with some additional funding.

Those who attended the service, in less than ideal weather conditions, said they will never shy away from a call to service.

"I tell everybody no matter what kind of day you’re having and even the weather, you leave here after something like this, whatever problems you’re dealing with through life, your job, your family and your children you leave here in a little bit in appreciation of life and the day and what the United States services have done for our country over the years,” veteran Lawrence McCullar told FOX7.

France preparing to fight activist funds: finance minister

April 5, 2019

BUCHAREST (Reuters) – The French government is preparing measures to prevent activist funds destabilizing French companies, the country’s finance minister told Reuters in an interview.

Activist funds are increasingly active in Europe, buying up stakes in companies they feel are underperforming and pushing for changes in strategy to extract more value for shareholders.

The practice has been common in the U.S. for many years but slower to take off in Europe as big stakes held by founding families or even the state proved a deterrent.

In France, New York hedge fund Elliott Management is currently piling pressure on drinks giant Pernod Ricard, CIAM is tussling with reinsurer Scor, Amber Capital has acquired a stake in Lagardere and Searchlight Capital Partners said earlier this week it was investing in aeronautics company Latecoere.

“I am thinking about new national instruments that would make it possible to better resist activist funds,” Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told Reuters in Bucharest, where he was attending an EU finance ministers meeting.

The plan would make it possible for the state to invest in companies it deemed to be of national interest, he said, declining to give further details other than saying the proposals would be ready in the coming months.

“It’s a subject I follow very closely because an activist fund that destroys value does not conform with the new capitalism I want to build,” he added.

Le Maire has championed an overhaul of French corporate law encouraging long-term investment and employee profit-sharing schemes. Parliament is due to vote on the legislation next week.

Le Maire said there was a place for investment funds which helped improve a company’s performance, but activist funds that destroyed longer-term value by trying to boost short-term profitability “should be fought”.

Elliott’s campaign to improve profit margins and corporate governance at Pernod has fueled concerns that no company is immune.

Not only does the group’s founding family hold a large stake, it is generally considered to be well managed already.

Last month, France’s Bpifrance pubic investment bank said it had 2 billion euros available to fend off potential activist attacks on French firms if needed.

Through the bank, the French government last week increased its stake in car parts maker Valeo, which has previously been targeted by activist investors.

Valeo also currently counts among its shareholders Chicago-based activist Harris Associates, which after Bpifrance’s move said it supported management.

(Reuters) – U.S. oil and natural gas producer Chevron Corp reported a 27 percent fall in quarterly earnings on Friday, hit by lower crude prices and weaker margins in its refining and chemicals businesses.

Net income attributable to the company fell to $2.65 billion, or $1.39 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, from $3.64 billion, or $1.90 per share, a year earlier.

Earlier in the day, larger rival Exxon Mobil Corp reported earnings well below analysts’ estimates, as margins in its refining business were hurt by higher Canadian prices and heavy scheduled maintenance.

Hundreds of Cuban migrants are reported to be on the run Friday in Mexico after a crowd of more than 1,000 burst out of a troubled immigration detention center on its southern border.

Mexico’s National Immigration Institute said the mass escape Thursday in Tapachula – which the Associated Press called the largest in recent memory — involved around 1,300 Cuban migrants, although 700 of them have since returned voluntarily.

The migrants reportedly streamed out of the compound without any resistance, as the institute said its agents weren’t armed and “there was no confrontation.”

Federal police with riot shields later rushed in to control the situation, as a crowd of angry Cubans whose relatives were being held at the facility gathered outside. The Cubans claimed their relatives reported overcrowding and unsanitary conditions at the facility.

BORDER PATROL UNION CHIEF BLASTS CONGRESS OVER MIGRANT CARAVANS: ‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT’?

“My wife and child have been in there for 27 days in bad conditions,” said Usmoni Velazquez Vallejo, as he waited outside for news. “There is overcrowding, insufficient food and there isn’t even medicine for them.”

Another Cuban detainee told the AFP: “We have many there… we are very tight, we sleep on the floor.”

It’s the third time since October that migrants at the facility staged an uprising, according to the news agency.

The center’s holding capacity is officially listed at less than 1,000 people, but the escape of 1,300 meant it was probably at least at double its capacity, since not everyone being held there escaped. Residents in the area said that sometimes the facility has held as many as 3,000 people, and a Mexican newspaper cited by Reuters said Haitians and Central Americans also are among the large group who still have not been tracked down.

April 26, 2019

(Reuters) – Exxon Mobil Corp on Friday reported first-quarter profit fell sharply on lower oil and gas prices and weakness in its refining and chemicals businesses that offset modest production gains.

The largest U.S. oil producer’s first quarter earnings fell to $2.35 billion, or 55 cents a share, from $4.65 billion, or $1.09 a share, a year ago.

Analysts had expected Exxon to earn 70 cents per share, according to Refinitiv Eikon estimates.

Shares were trading down about 2.7 percent in premarket trading on Friday.

Exxon’s oil equivalent production rose 2 percent to 4 million barrels per day, up from 3.9 million bpd in the same period the year prior. The company said its output in the Permian Basin, the largest U.S. shale basin, rose 140 percent over a year ago.

The Washington Post’s media critic went into meltdown after White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders held a mock press briefing for the children of White House journalists and employees on Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day.

Erik Wemple, the newspaper’s chief media critic, slammed Sanders and the White House for organizing a fun day on Thursday for junior would-be journalists, while not holding an actual press conference for the record number of days.

WHITE HOUSE STAFF TO SKIP CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER AFTER LAST YEAR’S CONTROVERSY

Wemple wrote that Sanders gave to children an important lesson of “the centrality of nonaccountability mechanisms in the affairs of state” after she announced that the mock press briefing was “off the record.”

“When the children head home tonight, perhaps they can pull up archival footage to see how their questions stack up against ye olde press briefings,” he added.

“Accordingly, Sanders was doing more than just providing a fun interlude for the kids; she was headlining a reenactment, anchoring a bona fide historical site.”

— Erik Wemple

“Tuesday, after all, marked a record for number of days without a White House press briefing. Accordingly, Sanders was doing more than just providing a fun interlude for the kids; she was headlining a reenactment, anchoring a bona fide historical site.”

While some correspondents praised the White House for doing “a lot of work to welcome the children and provide “them an excellent experience,” other journalists echoed Wemple’s criticism and pointed out that Sanders hasn’t held a press briefing in over 40 days.

“Kids of WH Press Corps members are getting ready for a briefing with  @PressSec. Their parents have not had one in 45 days,” tweeted CBS News’ White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang.

“The irony of it is that they’re pretending that the White House press briefing is a thing, and they’re pretending that this is how the White House operates, but this is not at all how the White House operates … It’s a relic of an earlier time,” another correspondent quoted by the Post said.

The Post struck a different tune in a column earlier this year, which declared that despite the administration’s criticism of the media, President Trump was “extremely accessible.”

Wemple quoted Martha Joynt Kumar, director of the White House Transition Project, who said that Trump held 338 “short question-and-answer” sessions over his time in office, significantly more than 75 such sessions by former President Barack Obama during his first full two years in office.
