ATLANTA, GA (Catholic Online) - The religious and secular media exhaustively covered the story of German Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst from Limburg, who was disparagingly referred to as the "Bishop of Bling."
The matter has been properly handled by Church authority and the Bishop is under pastoral care.
Sadly, the behavior of that one Bishop seems to have added fuel to a story in the United States concerning Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory. Though I have never met the Archbishop of Atlanta, I have long admired his love for the Lord, his pastoral care of his clergy and his humility.
The reports I have heard, from many of his clergy, as well as members of the lay faithful in that booming Catholic Center for the New Evangelization, have all been stellar. He is said to be a good teacher and a man of godly character and holiness of life. That is why when I saw the reports concerning the building of that new residence for this Bishop I was surprised.
I am a lawyer by training. So, I look to the facts. Upon further examination, the factual difference between the two stories is huge. However, I will not go into the facts, because this Bishop has taken what could have been a wound to the Church and turned it into an occasion of grace.
The good news out of Atlanta is the way this good Bishop responded to the public outcry. He apologized and took immediate action. His humility, integrity and prompt action have now turned the entire story around.
My readers know I have a pet peeve, the haranguing of Catholic Bishops on cranky corners of the Catholic blogosphere and in some Catholic media circles. I refer to it collectively as the Catholic circular firing squad. I think it impedes our mission, often results in sins against charity and fails to honor our obligation in solidarity to one another.
One of my antidotes to the malady is to call attention to the courageous Bishops standing firm in the ancient but ever new Catholic Christian faith. These men are unafraid of engaging the collapsing culture in which we live with the liberating Good News of the Gospel.
In my ecumenical work at the intersection of faith and culture, I am increasingly reminded by Christian friends in other faith communities of the impact of many of our Bishops upon them. I wish some cranky Catholic commentators could hear what I hear and stop their sniping.
The Archbishop of Atlanta is leading a Diocese which exhibits the good fruit which comes from the leadership of a good Bishop. He made a decision which, though well intended, required his apology and proper remedial actions. How refreshing it was to witness his sincere, heartfelt and humble response.
Here is his own written response, from the news service of the Archdiocese. The Bishop used one of the responses he received as an opportunity to do what a Christian leader should do. It can be found in the Georgia Bulletin.
The Archbishop Responds
We are disturbed and disappointed to see our church leaders not setting the example of a simple life as Pope Francis calls for. How can we instill this in our children when they see their archdiocesan leadership living extravagantly? We ask you to rethink these decisions and understand the role model the clergy must serve so the youth of our society can answer Jesus' call. Neither our 18- or 14-year-old sons understand the message you are portraying.
So went just one of many of the heartfelt, genuine and candidly rebuking letters, emails and telephone messages I have received in the past week from people of faith throughout our own Archdiocese and beyond. Their passionate indictments of me as a Bishop of the Catholic Church and as an example to them and their children are stinging and sincere. And I should have seen them coming.
Please understand that I had no desire to move; however, the Cathedral Parish has a problem, albeit a happy one. The Cathedral of Christ the King is one of our largest, most vibrant and fastest growing parishes-but it is landlocked. The site of the current rectory could be used for expansion if the priests could be moved to a new rectory nearby. Because of the proximity of the Archbishop's house to the Cathedral and the way it is configured with separate apartments and common space, the rector of Christ the King one day summoned the courage to ask me if I would give some thought to letting the parish purchase the residence from the Archdiocese to repurpose it for its rectory. It made more sense for them to be in walking distance to the Cathedral than I, so I said yes, knowing full well that literally left the Archbishop without a place to live.
Soon thereafter, the Archdiocese and the Cathedral Parish received a generous bequest from Joseph Mitchell, including his home on Habersham Road, to benefit the whole Archdiocese, but especially his beloved parish, the Cathedral of Christ the King. Through the extraordinary kindness of Joseph Mitchell, we had a perfect piece of property nearby on which to relocate the Archbishop's residence.
Some have suggested that it would have been appropriate for the Cathedral Parish to build a rectory on the Habersham property and have the priests each drive back and forth, and in retrospect that might be true. At the time, though, I thought that not giving up the Archbishop's residence, which was so close to the Cathedral Parish, would have been perceived as selfish and arrogant by the people at the Cathedral Parish and might damage my relationship with them!
So I agreed to sell the West Wesley residence to the Cathedral Parish and set about looking for a different place for me and my successors to live. That's when, to say the least, I took my eye off the ball. The plan seemed very simple. We will build here what we had there-separate living quarters and common spaces, a large kitchen for catering, and lots of room for receptions and other gatherings.
What we didn't stop to consider, and that oversight rests with me and me alone, was that the world and the Church have changed.
Even before the phenomenon we have come to know as Pope Francis was elected to the Chair of Peter, we Bishops of the Church were reminded by our own failings and frailty that we are called to live more simply, more humbly, and more like Jesus Christ who challenges us to be in the world and not of the world. The example of the Holy Father, and the way people of every sector of our society have responded to his message of gentle joy and compassion without pretense, has set the bar for every Catholic and even for many who don't share our communion.
As the Shepherd of this local Church, a responsibility I hold more dear than any other, certainly more than any configuration of brick and mortar, I am disappointed that, while my advisors and I were able to justify this project fiscally, logistically and practically, I personally failed to project the cost in terms of my own integrity and pastoral credibility with the people of God of north and central Georgia.
I failed to consider the impact on the families throughout the Archdiocese who, though struggling to pay their mortgages, utilities, tuition and other bills, faithfully respond year after year to my pleas to assist with funding our ministries and services.
I failed to consider the difficult position in which I placed my auxiliary bishops, priests, deacons and staff who have to try to respond to inquiries from the faithful about recent media reports when they might not be sure what to believe themselves.
I failed to consider the example I was setting for the young sons of the mother who sent the email message with which I began this column.
To all of you, I apologize sincerely and from my heart.
We teach that stewardship is half about what you give away, and half about how you use what you choose to keep. I believe that to be true. Our intention was to recreate the residence I left behind, yet I know there are situations across the country where local Ordinaries have abandoned their large homes, some because of financial necessity and others by choice, and they continue to find ways to interact with the families in their pastoral care without the perception, real or imagined, of lavish lifestyles.
So where do we go from here?
It is my intention to move deliberately forward and to do a better job of listening than I did before. When I thought this was simply a matter of picking up and moving from one house to a comparable one two miles away, we covered every angle from the fiscal and logistical perspectives, but I overlooked the pastoral implications. I fear that when I should have been consulting, I was really only reporting, and that is my failure. To those who may have hesitated to advise me against this direction perhaps out of deference or other concerns, I am profoundly sorry.
There are structures already in place in the Archdiocese from which I am able to access the collective wisdom of our laity and our clergy. In April I will meet with the Archdiocesan Council of Priests, and in early May our Archdiocesan Pastoral Council (a multi-cultural group of Catholics of all ages, representing parishes of all sizes, who serve as a consultative body to me) will convene. I will ask for the Finance Council of the Archdiocese to schedule an extraordinary meeting. At each of these meetings I will seek their candid guidance on how best to proceed.
If it is the will of these trusted representative groups, the Archdiocese will begin the process of selling the Habersham residence. I would look to purchase or rent something appropriate elsewhere.
It has been my great privilege and honor to be your Archbishop for the past nine years. I promise you that my service to you is the reason I get up each day-not the house in which I live or the zip code to which my mail is sent. I would never jeopardize the cherished and personal relationships I have built with so many of you over something that personally means so little after all.
I humbly and contritely ask your prayers for me, and I assure you, as always, of mine for you.
Now, allow me to share a few reflections as I conclude.
The quick attempt by some in the media to categorize this matter and this good Bishop by trying to squeeze this story into the template of the so called "Bishop of Bling" was inappropriate.
It was especially inappropriate for the Catholic media.In particular, some on the blogosphere and on Catholic aggregation sites. What happened to presuming the best about all people, especially our brethren in the Church?
The Archbishop made an error in judgment, a mistake. We all have. We are also all invited into a life of continual conversion - and we all fall short. When we do, it is how we respond to that wrong judgment which reveals who we are and who we are becoming. His actions show humility, integrity and accountability.
In addition, The Archbishop is not only our brother; he is our father in the Lord. We should presume his good intentions and protect his reputation, especially in our reporting. The quick rush to this comparison by some in the Catholic media presents a moment for review.
We are called to follow the admonitions contained in our shared Catechism, particularly in our relationships with one another. For example, following the clear direction contained in the following paragraphs of the Catechism, found within "Life in Christ" and entitled "Offenses against Truth":
Christ's disciples have "put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. By "putting away falsehood," they are to "put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander.(#2475)
Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to cause them unjust injury. He becomes guilty: - of rash judgment who, even tacitly, assumes as true, without sufficient foundation, the moral fault of a neighbor; - of detraction who, without objectively valid reason, discloses another's faults and failings to persons who did not know them; - of calumny who, by remarks contrary to the truth, harms the reputation of others and gives occasion for false judgments concerning them.(#2477)
Detraction and calumny destroy the reputation and honor of one's neighbor. Honor is the social witness given to human dignity, and everyone enjoys a natural right to the honor of his name and reputation and to respect. Thus, detraction and calumny offend against the virtues of justice and charity. (#2479)

Ferguson Security Takeover Brings in Captain Ronald Johnson
FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) – He's an African American. He's from North St. Louis County. And as a local commander of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, his job Thursday night is to establish calm in Ferguson.
No more armored trucks, tear gas and riot gear. Highway Patrol Captain Ronald Johnson says he wants to establish a rapport with the protestors face-to-face.
"I believe honest conversation and understanding will get us to where we need to be, and we can have a more compassionate and different approach today," Johnson says.
In fact, Johnson says he told his troopers to take their gas masks off their belts.
The change in security was ordered by Gov. Jay Nixon earlier Thursday after he complained that Ferguson had become "like a war zone" in recent nights.

UPDATE 1-Motor racing-Maldonado's Williams suffers smoky KERS failure
(Updates with Maldonado taking part in practice)
NUERBURGRING, Germany, July 6 (Reuters) - Pastor Maldonado's Williams suffered a KERS failure in the garage on Saturday and fire marshals had to extinguish smoke, the struggling Formula One team said ahead of qualifying for the German Grand Prix.
Safety issues are the focus of attention in F1 after five drivers suffered tyre blow-outs at last Sunday's British Grand Prix and the risk of fire in the pitlane is another significant danger.
"At 08.30 this morning the Williams F1 team suffered a KERS failure on Pastor Maldonado's car," a team statement said, referring to the kinetic energy recovery system.
"The car was in the garage at the time. The resulting smoke was contained quickly and efficiently by the team and circuit fire marshals. No personnel were injured."
Maldonado later took to the track in final practice before qualifying and his car looked to have suffered no ill effects as he posted competitive times, although he did almost lose the back end on a corner.
"Our boys really do do an amazing job as Pastor is ready to go for the start of free practice," Williams tweeted, thanking Caterham, Force India and Marussia for their help in dealing with the issue.
Williams suffered a fire in their garage at last year's Spanish Grand Prix where seven people were taken to hospital and 31 needed medical attention. It came after their first race win in eight years through Venezuelan driver Maldonado.
Last year's win in Spain turned out to be a false dawn. Maldonado and Finnish rookie team mate Valtteri Bottas have yet to score a point in eight races this season for the British team who were last champions in 1997. (Reporting by Mark Meadows, editing by Alan Baldwin)

Stanford wins good for USC
Trojans should root for Cardinal to boost Pac-12 profile for the future
Updated: November 8, 2011, 11:11 AM ETBy Jeremy Hogue | We Are SC
While USC's fate is certain -- three games, then home for the holidays -- the college football universe is still unsettled as far as crowning its conference and national champions is concerned. And while Trojans fans might think it's irrelevant to USC, I would argue that what happens from here until January matters greatly for the Pac-12 and future Trojans teams.
I am predicting right now that, aside from Boise State, there will not be two undefeated teams left on Dec. 4. What happens if the following teams all have one loss at that time: LSU, Alabama, Arkansas, Stanford, Oregon, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and either Clemson or Virginia Tech? And Penn State and Cincinnati are possible additions to that list. Certainly, LSU, Oklahoma State and Stanford have a chance to finish undefeated, but I'm predicting that no more than one of them will. Then what? And what happens if they all fall at least once?
[+] Enlarge
Cary Edmondson/US PresswireUSC fans need to suck it up and cheer for Stanford to win out, as it could have positive ramifications for future Trojans teams.

Geography of Akola District, Maharashtra
Geography of Akola District divides the district into three physical units which is a mixture of hills and plains. The climate in the district is generally hot and dry except during the monsoon season.
Akola district lies between 19 degrees 51minutes and 21 degrees 16 minutes latitude and 76 degrees 38 minutes and 77 degrees 44 minutes longitude. In relief, the district shares a similarity of topographical arrangements as found in
Buldhana district
. It also falls into three physical units- a narrow northern strip in the Akot tahsil in the Satpura foot-hills, the Payanghat or Purna plains in the middle, occupying nearly half the district area in the tahsils of Akot, Balapur,
and Murtizapur and the Balaghat on the top of the Ajanta ranges comprising Washim and Mangrulpir tahsils to the south. The landscape in the district though not highly hilly, still offers interesting contrasts between the plateau and the plains, further enriched by a forested ghat country and a bad land topography joining the Mun river. The two main rivers of the district are the
Purna River
and the
Penganga River
, the other less important rivers being the tributaries of these two rivers. They are the Katepurna,
Shahanur River
, Morna, Mun, Nand, Man and Uma, which are the tributaries of the Purna, and the
Adan River
, the Arna and the Pus which are the tributaries of the Penganga.
The climate of this district is characterized by a hot summer and general dryness throughout the year except during the south-west monsoon season. The year may be divided into four seasons. The period from about the middle of November to the end of February constitutes the winter season. The summer season extends from March to June. This is followed by the south-west monsoon season which extends up to the end of September. October and November constitute the post-monsoon season. Temperature rises rapidly after February till May which is the hottest month of the year. In May, the mean daily maximum temperature at Akola is 42.4 degree Celsius and the mean daily minimum temperature is 27.5 degree Celsius. The heat in the summer season is intense during the day and the nights are comparatively tolerable. During the period from April to June, on individual days, the day temperature raises upto about 46 degree Celsius or 47 degree Celsius With the arrival of the south-west monsoon in the district by about mid-June there is an appreciable drop in the day temperature and the weather becomes pleasant. Both day and night temperature decreases rapidly from October till December, which is the coldest month in the year. The mean daily maximum temperature during this month is 29.3 degree Celsius and the mean daily minimum temperature is 11.9 degree Celsius. In the rear of the western disturbances, which move across north India in the winter months, cold waves affect the district at times and night temperatures may go down to about 2 to 4 degree Celsius. Except during the south-west monsoon season when the humidity is between 60 to 80 per cent, the air is generally dry over the district. The summer months are the driest when the relative humidity is even less than 20 per cent in the afternoons on many days.

It is unclear if that is why he's smiling as he fronts the cameras two weeks after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee.
More likely it's because he possesses a quality not all sportsmen can boast - perspective.
The Hurricanes wing's season is over before it began after he "folded" over his right knee during an innocuous training drill on a summer-hardened Paraparaumu Domain.
His recollection sounded like a sporting horror show.
"I went to get a pass from the halfback, I went to step and the leg slipped a little bit," he said.
"I had to do the splits and one of the boys tapped me from the other side and I just folded over. I knew straight away something was bad. It felt like my knee was hanging out the side of my leg."
But in Jane's world there is no self-pity or moping.
"I've got a baby due in the next few weeks so that'll take my mind off the rugby, so there's a few positives too.
"I'm trying not to do much and stay down and keep icing it but the wife [Amie] is due. She looks like she's got triplets actually, so she's quite big and we've got three crazy kids running around.
"The house is bloody full-on. I'm trying to rest, but then I feel bad for her because she is knackered, so it's a bit hectic at the moment."
Super Rugby and the All Blacks will be poorer without Jane, but if humour is an effective medicine, he'll be back as good as new.
"I'll miss a bit of rugby, but at the moment I don't mind too much because it's pre-season rugby and nobody likes playing pre-season games," he said.
"Once the season starts it might get a bit hard. I think I'll just take over as head coach. I've told Hammer [Mark Hammett], since I'm injured I'll come over and run the sessions and he can just step to the side."
More seriously, Jane suggests his goal will be to play "some form" of rugby this season, but the reality is more likely a fresh start in 2014.
His specialist has told him the success of the recovery will be better if his surgery is performed after swelling has subsided.
So for now he must wait.
The unanswered question is what effect his injury will have on his 30-year-old body?
Jane doesn't know either, but takes heart from the fact so many other players have successfully come back from ACL surgery.
"It's like buying a new car. You look at a new car and think 'geez, no-one's got one', but then you get it and everyone's driving the darn thing," he said.
"There's a couple of boys in the team [Hurricanes] who have had it done. Quade Cooper has had it done, Will Genia is doing it as well. So there are quite a few people who have done it."
Once he's had the surgery, Jane will face months of appointments and rehabilitation. He'll get to know Hurricanes head physio Cam Shaw better than anyone, but Jane is adamant he'll play his part in his team's campaign.
"Whatever they need me [to do] I'll come in and do. I won't be running around, but there are young guys in the outside backs and if I can teach them a few things and keep sharing my knowledge ... because I'll be watching a fair bit, then I'll do that.
"I don't really want to, since I'm injured, just bugger off and not come back. I want to come in and do a bit with them and hopefully they keep winning and keep my morale up so I can come back and play again."

Dimbleby criticises ageism in TV
TV veteran David Dimbleby has criticised the BBC and other broadcasters for demeaning older women.
TV veteran David Dimbleby has criticised the BBC and other broadcasters for demeaning older women.
Question Time presenter David Dimbleby has entered the debate about ageism and sexism in TV.
Speaking to the Radio Times, he said:
There is a section among television executives who are always being hammered - quite wrongly in my view - to get the biggest possible audience, and [they are told] attractive young women will bring in a bigger audience than less attractive, older women - to say nothing of less attractive older men, like me.
That's the way the TV - not just the BBC - industry works. And I think it's wrong. If you look at American TV you'll find it keeps women at work. They use their experience in that same way that they would use John Simpson's experience or mine, such as it is. It's just a cultural shift that's needed. And I agree that it is demeaning to women and I also think it's a crazy loss of talent.
The TOWIE star said she did not get her full fee for leaving the jungle early and will donate it to a charity for starving children.
18,200 people died of the cold last year - a historical low. Energy and elderly campaigners say this figure is far too high.
Another grey day with cloudy skies, but brightening up in the afternoon with highs of 13C.

California ruling on teacher tenure fuels NH debate
"From the beginning, this lawsuit has highlighted the wrong problems, proposed the wrong solutions and followed the wrong process," said Scott McGilvray, president of the New Hampshire chapter of the National Education Association, the state's largest teachers union. "This lawsuit was not about helping students, but yet another attempt by millionaires and corporate special interests to undermine the teaching profession and push their agenda on California public schools and students."
"This is a closely watched case nationally," said Todd DeMitchell, professor of education and justice studies at the University of New Hampshire. "Unions were not explicitly targeted in this case. Instead, the statutes and the implementation of the statutes by school administrators, especially the dismissal statutes, was the focus. A lawsuit based on the quality of education provided is new."
"I think this is another example of a misconception people have with the term 'tenure,'" said Ben Dick, president of the Manchester Education Association. "People hear that word and think it means you can never get rid of someone who isn't doing their job. That's not what we have in Manchester or in New Hampshire. The fact is there is no such thing as teacher tenure in any New Hampshire public school, and no teacher, regardless of the length of time they have been teaching, has a guaranteed job for life. We have 'continuing contract status.'"
For decades, New Hampshire teachers reached "tenure" - or continuing contract status - after completing either three years of teaching in the same district or two consecutive years of teaching in the same school district and three or more consecutive years in another school district in New Hampshire.
The criteria to achieve continuing contract status increased to five consecutive years in the current school district, or three consecutive years in the current school district and five or more consecutive years in another New Hampshire school district.
"The ability to have their case reviewed by an objective panel ensures that school boards or administrators don't fire good teachers they may disagree with or who speak out on issues like student safety or appropriate use of district funds."
"Not yet, anyway, but you don't know what effect a decision like this might have," said Hainey. "Someone might decide it's the right time to try."
"Will New Hampshire legislators rush to embrace the perception that Judge Treu has provided the roadmap to get rid of the incompetent, and in the process reduce if not break the teacher unions?" asked DeMitchell.

U.S. students don't know much about American history, according to results of a national test released Tuesday.
Just 13 percent of high school seniors who took the 2010 National Assessment of Educational Progress — called the Nation's Report Card — showed solid academic performance in American history. The two other grade levels tested didn't perform much better, which just 22 percent of fourth-grade students and 18 percent of eighth-graders scoring proficient or better.
The test quizzed students on topics ranging from colonization, the American Revolution and the Civil War to the contemporary United States. For example, one question asks fourth-graders why it was important for the U.S. to build canals in the 1800s.
"The history scores released today show that student performance is still too low," said Education Secretary Arne Duncan in a prepared statement. "These results tell us that, as a country, we are failing to provide children with a high-quality, well-rounded education."
Education experts say a heavy focus on reading and math under the federal No Child Left Behind law in the last decade has led to lagging performance in other subjects such as history and science.
"We need to make sure other subject like history, science and the arts are not forgotten in our pursuit of the basic skills," said Diane Ravitch, a research professor at New York University and former U.S. assistant education secretary.
Of the seven tested subjects on the national test, students performed the worst in U.S. history. Officials with the National Assessment Governing board, which oversees the tests, say the U.S. history results aren't comparable to the other tests because different students take each exam in different years.
The scores on the history test did not vary remarkably from years past; in 1994, for example, 19 percent of fourth-grade students scored proficient or better in U.S. history.
More than 7,000 fourth-grade students, 11,000 eighth graders and 12,000 high school seniors from a nationally representative sample took the test last year.
Judy Brodigan, who was head of the elementary social studies curriculum for the Lewisville, Texas, school district for a decade, said history and social studies classes aren't as much of a priority for school districts as math and reading. She noted that many states only test history and social studies starting in middle school, which means elementary school students don't' get the background they need in the subject.
"When the foundation isn't built in elementary school, these students are coming to middle school lacking crucial skills," Brodigan said. "What is means is that in what is becoming a more and more global society, American students are more and more at a disadvantage."
Educators said history is critical to students learning how to become better citizens and understanding how the country's political and cultural systems work. Students need to not only recognize leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln, but also understand why they were important to the development of the country.
"Overall the quality and success of our lives can only be enhanced by a study of our roots," said Steven Paine, former state schools superintendent for West Virginia. "If you don't know your past, you will not have a future."

Syrian TV airs purported images of Israel strike
The images of the targeted site show the twisted and battered remnants of cars, trucks and military vehicles
- Image Credit: AFP
- An image grab taken from the state-run Syrian TV on February 2, 2013, shows a room damaged after what Syria said was an Israeli air raid which targeted the Jamraya scientific research base on the outskirts of Damascus on February 1. According to a US official who spoke on condition anonymity, the Israeli raid targeted surface-to-air missiles on vehicles and an adjacent military complex suspected of housing chemical agents. AFP PHOTO/SYRIAN TV == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "AFP PHOTO/SYRIAN TV - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==
Damascus: Syrian television has broadcast images of what it said is the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on a research facility near Damascus earlier this week, showing destroyed vehicles and moderate damage to a building.
Israel has not publicly acknowledged Wednesday's airstrike that US officials said had hit a convoy of anti-aircraft weapons inside Syria bound for the militant Lebanese Hezbollah group. The Syrian military said the target of Israeli jets was a scientific research centre in the area of Jamraya, northwest of Damascus.
The strike raised tensions between Israel and Syria, which is engulfed by a raging civil war.
The first purported images of the targeted site, aired by Al Ikhbariya TV on Saturday, show the twisted and battered remnants of cars, trucks and military vehicles. A building has broken widows and damaged interiors, but no major structural damage. The caption says, "Consequences of the Israeli aggression on the Jamraya centre."
State TV also ran footage of the damage.
Syria's regime vowed revenge for the airstrike, while the rebels battling President Bashar Al Assad criticised him for not responding to what they termed Israeli aggression.

According to a US official, the strike targeted trucks containing SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles. The trucks were next to the research centre the Syrians identified, and the strikes hit both the trucks and the facility.
Advanced anti-aircraft missiles like the SA-17 in the hands of Hezbollah could change the strategic equation, which so far has allowed Israel to send warplanes over Lebanon practically unopposed.
The Syrian military denied that the target of the attack was a weapons convoy. It said low-flying Israeli jets crossed into the country over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights to target the Jamraya centre.
Until Wednesday, Israel has been reluctant to do anything that would seem an intervention into Syrian civil war. The airstrike adds another layer to the complexity of the Syrian conflict that has left the international community at a loss for ways to end bloodshed.
The uprising against Al Assad began in March 2011 with largely peaceful pro-reform protests and developed into a civil war which the United Nations says has killed more than 60,000 people. The Syrian government maintains that there is no uprising in Syria but a conspiracy against the country because of its support for anti-Israeli groups.
Israel has not publicly acknowledged the airstrike, however its defence minister Ehud Barak brought the issue up and stopped short of confirming it at a security conference in Munich. He said "what happened in Syria several days ago... that's proof that when we said something we mean it - we say that we don't think it should be allowed to bring advanced weapons systems into Lebanon."
He added that "Hezbollah from Lebanon and the Iranians are the only allies that Assad has left."
He said in his view Al Assad's fall "is coming imminently" and when it happens, "this will be a major blow to the Iranians and Hezbollah."
"I think that they will pay the price," he said.

English F1 engine builder Brian Hart dies at 77
Jan 6, 2014, 12:00 PM EST
Brian Hart, an English Formula One engine builder, has died today at the age of 77. Hart's lightweight creations always seemed to punch above their weight.
He competed in several non-championship F1 races as a driver in the 1950s through 1960s, and made a single Grand Prix start in the 1967 German Grand Prix.
Where he excelled was in engine construction, with the creation of Brian Hart Limited in 1969. Hart first worked with Cosworth after serving an apprenticeship at the de Havilland aircraft company in Hatfield. Hart-tuned Ford Cosworths did well in the 1970s and in 1981, he entered Formula One with a 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine to supply the also-new Toleman team.
Hart-built engines powered Toleman until the team was sold to Benetton (this is now the current Lotus squad), and also the RAM, Haas Lola and Tyrrell teams in the 1980s before turbocharging was banned at the end of 1988. One of the highlights in that stint was Ayrton Senna's runner-up finish in the rain-shortened 1984 Monaco Grand Prix.
In the 1990s, Hart returned in the normally aspirated era with Jordan and Arrows. Less success followed although there were two additional podiums, when Rubens Barrichello came third in the 1994 Pacific Grand Prix and Gianni Morbidelli took the marque's final podium in the 1995 Australian Grand Prix. Hart's last two years in F1 came when his V10s were badged as Arrows in 1998 and 1999, and Brian Hart Limited was sold to Arrows team boss Tom Walkinshaw.
Interestingly, the one year a Hart powerplant didn't supply Arrows from 1995 through 1999 was in 1997, when Walkinshaw's team signed reigning World Champion Damon Hill and switched to Yamahas. Hart powered Minardi's entries that year.
Gary Anderson, a veteran designer who worked with the Jordan-Hart operation in 1993 and 1994, told Autosport, "There was nothing in the world as satisfying for Brian Hart and myself as taking on the big boys who had 10 times the budget and showing them up on Sunday afternoon!"
Meanwhile Taki Inoue, who drove the Arrows-Hart in 1995 and is better known now for his candid, humorous style on Twitter, had this genuine tribute:
Formula 1 engine builder Brian Hart dies. Thank you for all your passions to Motorsport. I'm proud of having raced with your engine.

National Certification Board Tweaks Strategic Plan
By Editorial Staff
Duck Key, FL -- As this issue of Massage Today goes to press, the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) has just met to review progress on implementation of its Strategic Plan.
This was the first major review of NCBTMB's current strategic plan since it was initially implemented in 1999.This review has resulted in some significant changes. Even though the goals of NCBTMB remain the same, several of the conditions relative to each goal have changed in the past few years. These changes should shift the prioritization of NCBTMB's strategies so as to enhance the competency levels of massage therapists and bodyworkers; provide legally defensible programs for utilization of jurisdictions choosing to regulate the profession; and make choosing therapists an easier task for employers and consumers. These strategies will lead to action plans and outcomes that will be achieved over the next 12 to 18 months.
Neal Cross, PhD, chairman of the NCBTMB, noted that this review process was designed to assure that the organization remains responsive to the needs and expectations of its stakeholders in an ever-changing environment.
Dr. Cross affirmed that all segments of the strategic plan were developed after a reconfirmation of the organization's core purpose and core values:
Core Purpose of NCBTMB:
To foster high standards for therapeutic massage and bodywork professionals and public acceptance of the value of these standards and the professionals who uphold them.
And ...
Core Values of NCBTMB:
Dr. Cross stated that all of NCBTMB's priorites remain linked to its core values. The top priority remains educating various groups about the value of national certification.
"While we have made great strides in the last couple of years, we want to double our effort in educating legislators, employers and consumers about the value of national certification," said Dr. Cross. "We have recently spent considerable effort and resources to initiate communication with the spa industry. We intend to continue and increase these efforts. We are putting more resources forward to help educate state boards and other legislative groups about the value of national certification and recertification. We hope our certificants are beginning to notice the efforts of NCBTMB in dramatically reaching out to consumers."
Dr. Cross indicated that the NCBTMB has been the focus of more and more media events, ranging from regional television coverage to articles in major and diverse national publications. He hopes that certificants will follow these developments as they take place.
Dr. Cross also stated that, in addition to a mid-cycle rework of the Strategic Plan, efforts were being made to increase organizational effectiveness. He noted that NCBTMB's new website (www.ncbtmb.com) is more user-friendly. For example, consumers can now search for information on individual certificants using a number of different criteria. Organizational infrastructure is also being streamlined to assist in processing certificant and examinee requests more efficiently.

A year that started off very badly for Paulson & Co. is ending very, very well.
The New York-based hedge fund, which last month emerged from the red with a 12.5% return for its flagship, extended those gains in October. The firm's Advantage Plus Fund rose 2.6% last month and is now up 2.5% on the year.
That return is hardly impressive on its face, until one considers that the $9 billion fund was down 11% through August.
Paulson, which manages $32 billion, can now boast that all of its funds are in the black. Its Advantage Fund is up 1.4% after rising 1.7% last month and its Recovery Fund is up 7.8% on the year after a 0.5% October return.
All of the firm's other funds are up by double-digits this year, well ahead of industry indices. Its Credit Opportunities Fund is up 12.4% after adding 2.7% last month. A whopping 7.3% October return has its Partners Enhanced Fund up 16% in 2010, while its gold fund is up an impressive 26% this year after a 3.5% jump last month.

Originally opening in 1969 with eight tennis courts and a humble trailer serving as a clubhouse, The Bath & Racquet Fitness Club has done more than endure over the decades. It has thrived. Currently, the club features 29 tennis courts??23 with clay surfaces and six with hard surfaces??as well as a 40,000-square-foot facility brimming with equipment and amenities. This allows the staff to cater to the community's needs and interests, providing an inviting, highly social environment where members can exercise on their own, attend a group fitness class, or even play a quick game of racquetball or squash on one of the indoor courts.
Free weights, ellipticals, treadmills, and a heated swimming pool with six lanes are all on hand for guests seeking a quick workout. With fitness classes available seven days a week, members can find a supportive group setting while they practice kickboxing, yoga, Pilates, indoor cycling, TRX suspension training, CrossFit, and more. With the addition of amenities such as saunas, on-staff massage therapists, and a full-service restaurant, the club can also serve as a site for people to simply unwind and relax.
Tennis continues to be a major focus though, and The Bath & Racquet Fitness Club extends its welcome to everyone from casual players to serious competitors. The tennis pros offer lessons that cover the fundamentals of the game, introducing newcomers to the basics of scoring, volleying, and hitting a ball into low orbit. For the more experienced members, the club also offers in-house leagues that allow players to truly test their skills.
Cliff Drysdale, a 45-time Davis Cup veteran, is more than a familiar face in professional tennis—he's one of its signature voices as well, having spent more than 30 years commentating matches on ESPN. Students of his coaching system get to tap into that deep well of experience at In-Shape Sport clubs all across California. At each location, experienced tennis pros lead four-week clinics that cover the fundamentals of the sport, organize competitive leagues for more advanced players, and tailor lessons to teens. Additionally, tennis socials help guests practice the sport as they meet fellow players and use particularly ferocious serves to deliver their phone number to an opponent.
The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club transports players to a tropical 75 acres of water-hemmed fairways and greens, enticing club hefters of all skill levels to confront its par 70 PGA-rated course. Redesigned by 10-time PGA Tour winner Mark McCumber in 1995, the verdant range challenges swingers to mediate between focused ball launching and equally competitive sightseeing. The back nine holes roost within a wildlife preserve, recognized by the Audubon Cooperative Society, where keen gazes can conduct reconnaissance on colorful birds and other fauna while riding through on the provided cart. Classic hazards, such as ever-present aquatic traps and conniving packs of terrestrial barracuda, challenge golfers, who can look to the staff of PGA professionals for help at any time. After venturing through the green, guests can quell insistent stomach gurgles at The Dunes Steakhouse & Seafood, the only Sanibel Island restaurant serving certified Angus beef, or satiate their appetites for golf equipment at the full-service pro shop.
For Pat Glaunert, tennis rackets have been like a pair of butterfly wings. They've carried him across the US—from Louisville, Kentucky, where he oversaw all operations as director at Top Gun Academy, to Indianapolis, where he owned and operated his own adult and junior tennis academy.
Now the director of Three Oaks Tennis Center, Pat puts to work certification with the United States Professional Tennis Registry to teach children and adults. His intro courses teach basics to beginners from forehands and backhands to volleys, overheads, and serves. His cardio-tennis sessions build upon basics by pairing swinging and footwork exercises with energetic music and muscle-building activities, which do not include bench-pressing ball machines.
The Punta Gorda Club unleashes muscular potential with an on-site nutritionist, a well-equipped gym, six clay tennis courts, and more than 80 group fitness classes each week. During a one-on-one nutrition consultation and dietary analysis (a $99 value), the club's food guru will discuss each client's eating habits, then draft a written meal plan that outlines what flavors of Twinkies they're allowed to eat. Additionally, an unlimited one-month membership (a $90 value, including enrollment fee) lets patrons loose to toughen tendons on the gym's playground of cardio machines, free weights, and step-aerobics teeter-totters. Members can also choose from more than 11 types of group fitness classes such as yoga, spinning, and Pilates, to tone their tummies in tandem or swat serves on six clay tennis courts.
Each of the three courses in the Pope Golf portfolio challenges golfers with a unique layout that incorporates pristine features of Florida's natural landscape. At Misty Creek Country Club, players share a wildlife preserve with exotic birds and try to keep their golf balls out of local vegetation and bald-eagle hairpieces. River Wilderness Golf and Country Club showcases a dramatic layout that drapes across 150 acres of an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. Nearing its 40th anniversary, Bent Tree Country Club surrounds players in sylvan beauty as they play their way through a 6,863-yard track that has hosted US Open qualifiers and Florida state high-school championships.
Misty Creek Country Club at a Glance: * 18-hole, par-72 course * Total length of 6,895 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 73.3 from the back tees * Course slope of 137 from the back tees * Five sets of tees per hole
Bent Tree Country Club at a Glance: * 18-hole, par-72 course * Total length of 6,880 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 73.2 from the back tees * Course slope of 133 from the back tees * Five sets of tees per hole

Sebelius Resigning from HHS
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is resigning after a five-year tenure of landmark achievements and technical fiascos. President Obama will nominate Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace her.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will announce her resignation Friday after a five-year tenure bookended by passage of the landmark Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the checkered rollout of the Healthcare.gov website.
Kathleen Sebelius
Secretary, HHS
President Obama accepted Sebelius's resignation earlier this week. She is one of the president's longest-serving cabinet members. On Friday morning he will nominate Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace her, White House and HHS officials said.
Sebelius, 65, has overseen the biggest changes to government healthcare programs since the launch of Medicare and Medicaid nearly 50 years ago. The PPACA, passed a year into her tenure, continues to remake U.S. healthcare. But Sebelius will be remembered as the public face of Healthcare.gov, which she championed and then came under fire for a succession of problems.
The nomination of Burwell, 48, is being cast as a shift toward tight management. She took the reins at OMB last April, after having served under President Clinton as Deputy Director of OMB, Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Chief of Staff to the Secretary of the Treasury, and Staff Director of the National Economic Council.
