413-423 USAF Ret. Lt. General Tom McInerney, was the #3 man in the United States Air Force, the Assistant Vice Chief of Staff, and he was the Director of the Defense Performance Review, you see regularly on Fox News as a senior military analyst, and he's the author of Endgame: The Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror.  Tom weighs in on Hamas and Iran.  He believes Israel must neutralize Iran before the Iranians make their Soviet S300 air defense system operational sometime in the next 6 months because the S300 is impenetrable to all but stealth aircraft, and Israel doesn't have any stealth aircraft.  If covert operations to stop their nuclear program are unsuccessful, an air strike will be necessary.

612-623Eric Sohlgren, an attorney with Payne and Fears in Irvine (paynefears.com), argued back in October before the California Supreme Court on behalf of conservative St. James Church in Newport Beach and against Bishop John Bruno and his pro-gay Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles that's seeking to seize their property.  At stake is whether a secular judge can rule any church is a member of an hierarchical church organization, if so they have the authority and ownership over any of it's denomination churches.  This could apply to all churches, even Calvary Chapels, Saddleback!  The decision was released today.
• With 77 million members worldwide, the Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian group behind the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox churches.  The Episcopal Church is a subset of the Anglican Communion and has 2.1 million members (or 3%) in the US.  22 of the 38 Anglican provinces around the world, however, have changed their relationship with the liberal-leaning US Episcopal Church that has openly embraced gay ordination and gay marriage.  Only less than 10 [?] of the 7,300 Episcopal parishes in the US have joined the 22 Anglican provinces in rejecting the growing liberalism of the American Episcopal Church.  Three are in Southern California: 1,200 member St. James in Newport Beach (www.steadfastinfaith.org), St. David's in North Hollywood, and All Saints in Long Beach.  All three have left the national Episcopal Church and joined the conservative American Anglican Council under Anglican Bishop Evans Kisekka of the Diocese of Luweero in Uganda.  700 non-gay churches will be leaving the pro-gay U.S. Episcopal Church and Anglican Church of Canada to form a conservative denomination that believes the Bible.
