Crystal Cathedral cuts staff and sells property in California
The Southern California megachurch Crystal Cathedral plans to sell 170 acres in Orange County, lay off 500 staff, and drop Hour of Power from eight of 45 outlets to offset an almost $8 million revenue drop from 2008 to 2009. Revenue fell 27 percent to about $22 million, with officials blaming the weak economy and aging membership as main causes.

GOP Faults Obama On Terror Handling
Republican lawmakers fault the Obama administration over the Christmas airline bomb plot suspect Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab, arguing no Miranda warning and treating him as a criminal defendant rather than an enemy combatant. Senator Susan Collins says rhetoric does not match actions and warns of ongoing campaigns over the issue. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair suggested earlier he should be treated as a terror threat and questioned by a special group before civilian court decisions. White House officials counter that other options exist to obtain information.
