Omaha police have arrested a 24-year-old woman in connection with Monday's fatal hit-and-run crash at 42nd and Q Streets. Police said Flor Campos was neither the driver nor a passenger in the pickup that hit a car driven by 27-year-old Ronald E. Rydberg. According to police reports, Campos drove the pickup's driver from Omaha to a Kansas City, Mo., bus station so the pickup driver and his brother could flee to Mexico.

Ex-SEC commissioner Campos wants to bring back hedge fund manager registrationWASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - A top adviser to President-elect Barack Obama on securities regulations called Tuesday for the Securities and Exchange Commission to require more complete disclosure of "synthetic securities" and other derivatives. "All synthetic securities, all derivatives should be overseen by the SEC or an organization the SEC morphs into," said Roel Campos, a former Democratic SEC commissioner and member of Obama's transition team. "Disclosure, transparency, counterparties, leverage, positions and derivatives should be well known so people aren't fooled into thinking that they are entering into a safer situation than...

Bishop Fernando Rifan says traditionalists must show perfect communion with Pope, tradition Brian Mershon Brian Mershon June 20, 2006 (From the June 22 edition of The Wanderer) The great expectations of a pending "freeing of the Classical Roman rite of liturgy" have dissipated like April showers. It is now in the heat of summer, and a well-respected consultant to the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith was interviewed by the Mexican newspaper, Milenio, where he mentioned the possibility of a document freeing the Classical rite may be promulgated in October, a post-synodal apostolic exhortation, following the October 2005 synod on...

Supporters of the Iraq war like to claim that Iraq is merely the current front line in a battle for national survival against a vast and shadowy enemy. They call this opponent "Islamofascism" or "global terrorism" or "the enemies of freedom." (How Saddam Hussein's brutal but ruthlessly nonideological regime ended up on this enemies' list remains unclear). For example, Commentary's Norman Podhoretz assures us we are fighting the first battles of World War IV, which he estimates could last 50 years, while The Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer conjures up visions of atomic bombs going off simultaneously in 10 American cities...

...snip CU officials say roughly 15 percent of Churchill's $92,000-a-year salary - $13,800 - comes from state tax dollars. The remaining 85 percent - $78,200 - comes from tuition. But about 74 percent of that tuition - $57,868 - comes from out-of-state students, CU says. Ward Churchill gets paid plenty by the rich parents of kids from the country's major metropolitan areas who can afford CU's hefty nonresident bills. He owes his professional existence to the very "technicians of empire" he likened to "little Eichmanns."

Ward Churchill said in his most recent speech that Wall Street was named because of a wall that had once been part of a holding pen for slaves. He also said that the Wappinger tribe only thought they had rented a portion of Manhattan to the Dutch and that when they contested the sale the settlers massacred them, cut off their heads, and played kickball with the heads at roughly the site of the Twin Towers. The facts are easily googled. “A century before, Dutch settlers had built a wall to protect themselves from Indians, priates(sic), and other dangers.” -...

The University of Colorado is....hearing from Indian country [http://www.indiancountry.com] scholars whose previous protests against Churchill's appointment fell on deaf ears. The three-person panel reviewing Churchill's work is receiving studies that accuse him of fabricating evidence for his academic writing and even of plagiarism. At least one member of the UC faculty has also questioned why the University hired and promoted Churchill in the first place... Charges such as these will be grist for the University of Colorado review mill over the next 30 days. As DiStefano described it at the tumultuous Board of Regents meeting, it would consider two questions:...

A Comment on Campos from David Allen White Ph.D. Author of The Mouth of the Lion In the late 1980s, Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer of the diocese of Campos, Brazil, realized that his days with his flock were drawing to a close. Pope John Paul II had forced him into retirement when the Bishop had reached the age of 75, but he had remained a strong and guiding presence as Rome's newly appointed Bishop, Carlos Navarro, sought to stamp out the Tridentine Mass, and thus the Catholic Faith, in the diocese. Bishop de Castro Mayer made arrangements with Archbishop...

My Brothers in Christ and My Friends, With great sorrow I read today that you are now "considered perfectly inserted in the Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church." I never knew you left. During those memorable days when I visited you in 1991 while doing research for my book on your great and honored Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer, I had the privilege of witnessing the Catholic life of your diocese, the most perfect embodiment of the Catholic life in a contemporary setting which I have ever witnessed and so much more than I could ever imagine. What a blessing you...

Latin Mass brings more people to church Bishop Fernando A. Rifan, the apostolic administrator for traditionalist Catholics in a diocese in Brazil, visits East Providence and speaks of the resurgence of the traditional Mass. EAST PROVIDENCE -- The Catholic bishop who was tapped by the Vatican as the pastoral leader for thousands of Catholics in Brazil who remain attached to the old Latin Mass says he's convinced the rite will play a crucial role in the renewal of the church. "Because the guidelines and structure of the Tridentine rite are so much more strict, I believe it will protect us...

Sometime in February or March, officials at the Justice Department held a closed-door meeting with a federal judge in Washington, where they laid out what the government knows about the anthrax-letter attacks of 2001. Nobody is exactly sure what the department told the judge during that meeting. People familiar with the presentation say it was held under top-secret conditions; documents were escorted to the courtroom under the supervision of the U.S. Marshals Service, and the judge was not even allowed to keep copies of the papers that were shown to him. But at a hearing on March 29, the judge,...

Radio talk show host Laura Ingraham received a hostile reaction last week from crew on ABC’s daytime show, The View, to the premise of her new book, Shut Up and Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN are Subverting America. Other than Rachel Campos, one of three finalists auditioning to join the show permanently, the co-hosts were all appalled by Ingraham’s contention that elites on the coasts are out of touch with “the heartland.” When Ingraham argued “that the Democratic Party is not connecting with the people who are its logical constituents, from the South and from the...

Q. Since you are the first French priest ordained for the Priestly Society of St. Pius X, were you close to Archbishop Lefebvre? How did he inspire you? A. Yes, I was close to Archbishop Lefebvre. I knew him well and I strongly appreciated him. He was so cordial, pleasant, a great prelate, but humble, simple, thoughtful for those who surrounded him. He had heart. It was difficult to not love him. He had a magnetic per- Fr. Aulagnier meets with Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos and Bishop Rifan. sonality.

Another season, another disgraced reality star. Rob Campos, the hunky star of NBC's For Love or Money, was forced out of the U.S. Marine Corps for drunkenly groping a female Navy officer in 1999.TheSmokingGun.com, a Web site that has exposed the indiscretions of several past reality TV stars, broke the Campos news Monday after receiving a tip from a source who is an acquaintance of several of Campos's former girlfriends. An NBC source confirmed the account.

João Mota Neto has attended the traditional Latin Mass all his life. His spirit was formed and his heart captivated by the Mass of St. Pius V. When he determined to give his heart to God, he entered the Seminário da Imaculada Conceição - Seminary of the Immaculate Conception. He was fifteen years old. Once at the seminary, João quickly got used to the routine: the Angelus at 6AM, the Holy Mass at 6:30, the little hours of Prime, Sext and Terce (all in Latin) interspersed with studies throughout the day. At 5:30 the seminarians meet to practice singing the...

Bush Chided for Boosting Jesse Jackson The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, head of the civil rights group Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), is criticizing the latest White House effort to reach out to the African-American community as "shameful." Why? Because the man the Bush administration is reaching out to is none other than Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose record for strong-arming corporations with threats of boycotts has earned him a reputation as a shakedown artist who's more interested in feathering his own nest than helping black America. Still, Bush plans to dispatch Michael Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications...

62 Reasons Why... In Conscience, We Cannot Attend the New Mass Compiled by the priests of the diocese of CAMPOS, BRAZIL Note: all quotes followed by an asterix "*" are from the Letter of Cardinals A. Ottaviani and A. Bacci to Pope Paul VI, dated September 25, 1969 enclosing "A Critical Study of the Novus Ordo Missae." 1. Because the New Mass is not an unequivocal Profession of the Catholic Faith (which the traditional Mass is), it is ambiguous and Protestant. Therefore since we pray as we believe, it follows that we cannot pray with the New Mass in Protestant...

The Campos Profession of Faith Until the end of 1981, when its Archbishop retired, the Diocese of Campos, Brazil was unique within the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Its bishop, Msgr. Antonio de Castro Mayer, had refused to adopt the new rite of Mass promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1969. He insisted upon retaining the Traditional Latin Mass as the official liturgy of his diocese. The Bishop made this decision for two reasons: firstly, he claimed that the New Mass was not mandatory; secondly, he claimed that the New Mass presented a danger to the faith of his...
