Ashlee Scott, 44, of Donald Hall Road, Brighton, Tamarapreye Soroh, 21, of Queen Anne Avenue, Shortlands, Bromley, Sade Woolnough, 18, of Bideford Road, Bromley, Philip Barnes, 48, of no fixed address, Remy Douglas, 49, of Phoenix Rise, Brighton, Alan Barnes, 42, of no fixed address and Kieran Sakhabuth, 20, of The Avenue, Brighton, have all charged with conspiracy to supply class A drugs and bailed to court hearings during April and May.

Detective Inspector Julie Wakeford said: "Many of the supply networks targeted through this operation originate from various boroughs within London.
"We had support from the Metropolitan police throughout this operation and will continue to work with them to disrupt these networks often linked to London gangs who are intent on supplying heroin in Brighton and Hove.
"The methods they use to operate their dealing networks exploit vulnerable people both adults and teenagers in order to maximise their profit from drug supply. The community investigation team at Brighton benefits from long standing partnership support from the Safe in the City team within the local authority. We share a commitment to reduce the harm associated to heroin supply in the city."

Welcome to year 5/4! We are pleased to be welcoming your child into our class. We hope that this guide will help to prepare your child for a happy start.
THE TEAM – The class will be taught by Mr Hutchinson from Monday to Wednesday and by Mrs Larsen on Thursday and Friday. Our class TAs are Miss Easter and Mrs Sweeting.
The start and the end of the day.
8.30am – There will be a teacher on duty in the playground from 8.30. The bell rings at 8.40, when we will come out to greet the children and take them into school at 8.45. Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time.
3pm – School lessons finish at 3pm and we will escort the children to the playground shortly after. Remember to sign your children up for some of the great clubs on offer after school and at lunch time. (Ask at the school office for more details).
The children will continue to bring reading books home which they have chosen as part of the Renaissance Reading Programme. We would like to encourage you to listen to your child read and discuss what they have read. We suggest 10-15 minutes, five times a week. Please use the reading log to let us know that you have heard your child read and to make any relevant comments. The children will complete quizzes relating to the books they have read and it is therefore important to have a good understanding of the language, style and vocabulary used in the books.
Other information.
We encourage children to keep hydrated in school. Please ensure that your child has a plastic, see through bottle to refill with water each day, which can be kept on the side shelf in the classroom. It needs to be clearly marked with your child's name. Bottles can be bought at the school office for a small fee.
PE kits
PE kits need to be in school all week and consist of a white t-shirt, white shorts and trainers or plimsolls. Black leotards are a suitable alternative for girls. In colder weather, black tracksuit bottoms are also allowed to be worn. Please ensure that all kit is clearly labelled so that we can quickly match lost clothing to their owners! May we also remind you that children are expected to have school shoes, not trainers, as part of their school uniform.
Homework will be set every Friday and collected in on the following Thursday. It will usually be a piece of maths or English, but may on occasion be some topic based work. The work will be linked to work covered in class and will help your child to consolidate his/her learning. The children will also continue to bring home their Learning Logs to complete on a weekly basis.
Spellings will also be set every week. These will be taught in school, but we hope that you will be able to find time to help your children learn these spellings at home. The spellings will be tested every Monday. Children will be given a sheet with space to practice at home which should be returned to Mr Hutchinson on the day of the test.
As part of school life we like to take photos of the children to use in the school newsletter or to display in and around the classroom to celebrate their learning. The children may also be involved in food tasting during the year for which we require your permission. We would be grateful if you could complete the permission slip attached to this letter and return it to us as soon as possible.
There will be the opportunity for you to come in for an informal 'meet the teacher' on Wednesday 14th September after school. If you have any other queries please feel free to arrange to come and see us. After school is usually best.

Wheat folly
The July 1 article regarding the United States providing North Korea with 37,000 tons of wheat, just part of a larger 600,000 ton donation, given through the U.N.'s World Food Program (WFP,) just hits me wrong. Here we are being made suckers once again in giving assistance to our enemy, actually saving them from starvation because their cereal crop will be 1.5 million tons short this year.
Too bad!
What about thousands of Americans that could use this excess wheat? Don't our inept politicians even consider that North Korea is our enemy who wants to kill all of us - and we repay them by feeding them?
Our government lies to us and says this food gift has nothing to do with North Korea "promising" to make no more plutonium for nuclear bombs. Have they forgotten they have already broken some 23 prior promises? They lie, you can't believe them.
I had friends killed by these people during the so-called Truman "Police Action" in 1950-53 and it may not matter to our weird politicians but it matters to me, yesterday, today and tomorrow. I obviously have no feelings of compassion for the people at all. We should care less if they all go hungry.
Since this giveaway is supposed to be part of an international WFP, then let the North Koreans eat what their friends, the Chinese and Russians, send them. We all know this program is wrong and thanks to the term being "political incorrect" no one will rise up and start action to stop it.

Change our ways
Hydrogen is the way to go, for sure. Have any of our leaders and wannabe leaders mentioned a national drive to establish hydrogen stations in every town? If we can go to the moon - and I see we're going again, for what I don't know - but anyway...
Oil profit margins are small but they sell a lot of oil so it all adds up. It costs a lot to drill a dry hole, and they drill a lot of them. If we do what we have always done we'll always have what we have always had.
We have oil. We can't drill our way out of our problems. Any new oil would go on the world market at the market price.
Refineries are what we don't have and it takes several years to get one online. We have lots of sunshine here in Florida, but you sure don't see many solar cells. I don't believe that we or oil companies should be taxed and the money given to the government to supply us with new sources of power. Has to be private money or corporations. Where are the auto companies here in the U.S.? Cutting jobs.
Honda is putting hydrogen cars on the road and California is putting in hydrogen stations on some major highways. Clean coal is possible - we have more coal in three western states than the Mideast has oil.
Time the traffic lights and build more bike lanes. Here in Marion County we don't even put hard shoulders on our roads so folks can walk. Take the corn out of gas and food prices will go down and your gas mileage will go back up. Use the railroad to move trailers rather than move them by truck for long distance's and build a national passenger rail system that would equal those of overseas.
We could put a large number of folks to work in this country building our infrastructure. That's my two bits, now if anyone with power would do this.

Each year, Planned Parenthood affiliates in Florida provide over 111,000 women, men and teens with the preventive health care they need to stay healthy and plan their families. Planned Parenthood knows best that all Floridians need access to quality, affordable reproductive and preventive health care. That's why the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, the political and advocacy arm of Planned Parenthood in Florida, has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.
Sen. Obama is a passionate advocate for women's rights, and has a long and consistent record of standing up for women's health care. As president, he will improve access to quality reproductive health care for Americans, support and protect the right to choose, support comprehensive sex education to keep our young people healthy and safe, and invest in prevention programs, including family planning services and cancer screenings.
In contrast, Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, has a zero percent voting record on women's reproductive health care and has stated he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. In 25 years in Washington, D.C., Sen. McCain has cast 125 votes against women's health care services and policies.
The health of Florida's women, families, and teens lie in the hands of our next president. We cannot afford another four years of McCain and his continuation of Bush's failed policies.

MOSUL, - The Iraqi security forces and allied paramilitary units, known as Hashd Shaabi, completely encircled the city of Mosul, while the troops continued operations to clear the militants in and out of Mosul, after more than a month, since a major offensive was launched, the Iraqi military said.
The predominantly Shiite Hashd Shaabi units advanced to the west of the Daesh-held town of Tal Afar, some 70 km west of Mosul, recapturing six villages and seizing the main road between Tal Afar and nearby town of Sinjar, according to a statement issued by the Iraqi Joint Operations Command (JOC).
The latest advance allowed the Hashd Shaabi units to cut off the Daesh supply routes from the west side of Mosul, and enabling both the paramilitary units and other Iraqi and Kurdish security forces, to entirely isolate and surround the city of Mosul, preventing the militants from moving outside Mosul, the statement said.
The paramilitary units started their advance on Tuesday morning, when they moved to encircle the town of Tal Afar, preparing for the next stage to free it from the militants.
The units' presence in the whole area in the west of Mosul would also enable them to secure the border areas between Iraq and neighbouring Syria and would cut off the Daesh supply routes between Mosul and the Syrian city of Raqqa, the capital of Daesh self-declared caliphate.
On Nov 16, the paramilitary troops recaptured a strategic airbase near the town of Tal Afar, which is located some 80 km from the border with Syria.
Tal Afar, held by the Daesh since June, 2014, has majority of both Sunni and Shiite Turkoman people, as well as, other minorities of Kurds and Arabs.
The advance of the predominantly Shiite paramilitary units in the ethnically mixed region, where Sunni Muslims form a majority, could spark sectarian tension with Sunni Arabs and neighbouring Sunni state of Turkey.
The advance to Tal Afar is part of a massive offensive to dislodge the extremist militants from the city of Mosul, which represents their last major stronghold in Iraq.
In south-east Mosul, the army's 9th armoured Division continued their advance towards Mosul and recaptured four villages, the statement added.
In eastern Mosul, the commandos of the Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS), fought fierce clashes with the militants, as they have been trying to push deeper into the eastern side of the city, locally known as the left bank of the Tigris River.
The CTS commandos cleared many buildings of the residential compound in Khadraa district in eastern Mosul, after sporadic clashes with the militants, according to the JOC statement.
However, the CTS forces have met stubborn resistance from the extremist militants, who are fighting in small groups and move quickly. The extremist groups frequently infiltrated behind the advanced CTS forces using tunnels or sneaking through dozens of houses and buildings.
After more than a month of military operations against the militants in Mosul, almost 68,550 civilians have fled their homes and the number went up every day, according to latest report by the Unites Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Early in the month, hundreds of the CTS commandos and Iraqi army made a significant progress at the eastern side of Mosul and managed to recapture some 10 districts out of about 60 districts on both sides of the city.

Research shows that government health spending in Canada is growing at an unsustainable pace, say Mark Rovere and Brett Skinner, of the Fraser Institute. Meanwhile, government spending on prescription drugs has grown faster than other components of health spending. This has led some people to claim that prescription drugs -- patented drugs in particular -- are the primary cause of the unsustainable growth in government health spending.
A recent Fraser Institute report indicates that neither patented medicines nor prescription drugs can be blamed for the unsustainable growth in government health spending:
- Overall, total spending on all types of drugs accounted for an estimated 16.7 percent of total government and private health spending in Canada in 2006, a drop from 17.4 percent in 2005.
- Prescription drugs accounted for only an estimated 9.3 percent of total government spending on health care in 2006, down from 9.6 in 2005.
- Patented prescription drugs accounted for only 6.3 percent of total annual government spending on health care in 2006, compared to 6.8 percent in 2005.
- Non-patented prescription drugs accounted for a mere 3.0 percent of spending in 2006.
- All of types of health spending consumed 90.7 percent of government health expenditure in Canada.
The Fraser Institute suggests that unsustainable growth in government spending on health is a function of the flawed design of government health and drug insurance programs, and not of the price of medical treatment or the introduction of new medical technologies such as patented drugs.

SAN MARCOS - The North County Latinas Association has canceled this year's "Adelante Mujer" conference for the first time in 14 years because, officials with the organization said Tuesday, there is a need to restructure the event and develop a strategy to deal with the growing attendance.
Association President Monica Nava sent a brief letter to community members and North County schools this month stating it was with a "heavy heart" that the association decided to suspend its daylong conference at Cal State San Marcos, which focused on education, careers and self-esteem specifically for young Latinas.
"We started turning away 100 to 200 girls," said Nava, referring to the conference in recent years. "We decided we have to start finding a way to have a venue so all girls who want to attend can."
The "Adelante Mujer" conference, meaning "Forward Woman," is the association's biggest annual event.
The group was founded in 1992 to bring together Latinas who share common goals and has seven board members from various parts of North County who meet every Wednesday in Barrio Carlsbad.
One issue that the association's board has been dealing with, Nava said, is how to accommodate the growing number of girls who want to attend the conference. The group is also figuring out whether it will expand the conference to areas such as Riverside and Imperial counties.
The annual conference includes dozens of workshops led by Latinas from the fields of business, medicine, education, science and technology and is aimed at giving young women ages 12 to 18 a glimpse of what is possible with a college education.
The association has also given seven high school students scholarships of $600 and eight junior high school students a $100 savings bond each year at the conference.
This year the association will instead hand out 10 "Quinceanera" scholarships to 15-year-old girls from throughout the county with a grant from the Sallie Mae Fund, a charitable organization. "Quinceanera" is a Spanish term referring to the age of 15.
In its infancy, the conference provided workshops for about 100 girls. Last year, that number had grown to 1,000 girls and their mothers, who attended the event at the university campus, Nava said.
In her letter to the community, Nava wrote that in order to maintain the same high-quality program and ensure success for future events, the association will focus on increasing "membership and developing a strategic plan" that would support their mission of empowering young Latinas through education.
Nava said plans are to continue the conference again in 2008.
On Tuesday, Nava said the association had unanimously voted to call off the conference to focus on building more relationships with local school districts to organize smaller events that would dovetail with the conference throughout the year.
The $40,000 conference is paid for every year with various grants and donations, Nava said. Some who have given money for the conference in the past include the Wellness Foundation, Tri-City Medical Center and the California Endowment.
This year, however, the association did not submit any solicitations to those organizations because plans for the conference were in limbo, said Nava.
John Herrerra, a board member for "Encuentros," a nonprofit North County organization that caters to young Latino boys, said he was surprised to hear the "Adelante Mujer" conference had been called off. "Encuentros" is Spanish for "coming together."
"The leadership of the organization has always been proactive in addressing the needs of young Latinas," said Herrerra, who said he attends the conference every year. "If they feel it's time to draw back and rethink how to proceed, I have confidence they will do what's right."
Cecilia Rocha, program coordinator for GEAR UP, a grant-funded program that assists students preparing for a college career, said the conference will be missed this year because it is a great networking opportunity for young Latinas.
"I am sad," said Rocha, who takes up to 200 girls from San Marcos Middle school to the conference every year. "But I understand, it takes a lot of effort to put on an event like this."
Nava said she has been receiving calls and e-mails from a lot of disappointed community members since announcing the cancellation and said initially the "news was not taken lightly" because many were looking forward to the conference this year.
"After explaining our goals, most are supportive because they know there will be more opportunities and information for the girls when we do it again," said Nava.
Therese Remington, marketing director for GEAR UP and a former board member of the association, said she is glad to see steps have been taken to accommodate the conference's growth.
"They have a long-standing legacy," Remington said of the association. "I think they will come back bigger and better."

Remove icon hover highlight
I wanted to know if it was possible to remove the hover\press highlight that appears on the icons on the desktop and in Windows Explorer. Here's a picture to show you what I mean.
I did some searching and found there is no up front way to do this, as it requires modifying some (system) files. I am familiar with Resource Hacker and such;I just need to know which files to modify. And also, which resources (images and such) would need to be changed. Thanks!

If you are using the default Aero theme you should not edit it you should create a new custom theme so you do not corrupt the original Aero theme, look at the Post #38 of this thread Start menu color change ?? it will show you how to start a new custom theme and then you can edit it. You will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.
Enabling Custom Themes - Windows 7
Theme - How to Apply Custom Themes
You will need to edit the Theme.msstyles that you created above the image numbers you will need to edit image # 601, 602, 603, 604, 630, 632, 645, the first four numbers are for the desktop hovers they also remove the hovers in the navigation pane of Explorer the last three numbers remove the hovers from Explorer.
Look at Post #6 of this thread Windows Explorer Properties window background color will show you how to use a resource hacker to extract and edit and import images into the Theme.msstyles
If you need more help let me know.

Thanks Bongo. They're in the .msstyles. There's just one problem, when I replace the images with blank (transparent) ones, I can't tell when I've clicked on something, as there is no indication of it (e.g. the Windows Classic theme shows a solid color when you click on an icon, just like in versions of Windows before Vista.) Is there any way to fix this?

Hi everyone.
I've been trying for ages to get rid of the desktop hovers in windows 8. I've created a new theme, and changed the images for 598,599,600, 626, 627, 628 in resource hacker, but whenever I enable the theme, nothing changes. i've double checked the .theme file and everything is correct. The theme shows up with the others and can be selected..but it seems identical to the standard windows theme, despite me changing the images. Can anyone help?

When you are editing the .msstyles are you using that theme or another, you must switch to a different theme log off and then log on then you can edit the new theme.

WATCH: Beauty and the Beast full movie trailer with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST movie trailer has landed from Disney with Harry Potter's Emma Watson and Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens.
Beauty and the Beast movie trailer has arrived from Disney
The first full trailer for the Disney's live action take on the classic fairy tale animation has arrived.
Starting with the iconic theme from the 1991 original, Emma Watson's Belle arrives in the Beast's castle to free her father Maurice, played by Kevin Kline.
Disney fans will know this as the moment when Belle hands herself over in exchange for her father's life.
Imprisoned in the ancient palace, the Beast is encouraged by his enchanted servants to pursue her, hopeing she's the one who can break the curse on them all.
Emma Watson stars as Belle opposite Dan Stevens' Beast
The new trailer includes closer looks at Sir Ian McKellen's ratty Cogsworth the clock and Ewan McGregor's cheeky Lumiere the candelabra.
They are joined by Emma Thompson's Mrs Potts, a talking teapot who reassures Belle that the Beast isn't quite as he seems.
But while Beauty and the Beast begin to fall in love, Maurice has told Gaston, an arrogant suitor played by Luke Evans, that the Beast has taken Belle captive.
In a flair of rage and fire, Gaston and his pudgy sidekick LeFou, played by Frozen's Josh Gad, form a posse, and head with the pitchfork waving locals to the castle to save her.
Will Belle fall in love with the Beast and the curse be broken, or will the ghastly Gaston kill the cursed creature first?
Fans will have to wait until next year to find out, or they could just go back and watch the original.
Last week exclusive pictures from the film were released by Entertainment Weekly.
In an interview with the magazine Watson revealed they had changed Belle's occupation.
Luke Evans' Gaston and his sidekick LeFou in the Beauty and the Beast trailer
In the cartoon it's her father Maurice who's an inventor, whereas, in a feminist twist, Disney have given her that job too.
Other live action adaptations currently in pre-production at the House of Mouse include The Lion King, Mulan and Aladdin.
Meanwhile Moana, Disney's first animated musical since Frozen, will be released in early December.
Beauty and the Beast will be released in UK cinemas on March 17, 2017.

MINEOLA, N.Y. — Entertainer Flavor Flav must return to his native New York at least one more time to answer charges stemming from his arrest as he raced to his mother's funeral.
Police say the rapper and reality TV star was speeding and driving without a license, a felony, on Jan. 9 on the Meadowbrook Parkway on Long Island.
Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, told reporters as he entered a Nassau County courtroom on Tuesday that he hoped to resolve the case. Drayton, who lives in Las Vegas, grumbled that flights from there to New York were becoming expensive.

You have asked whether this provision would be deemed a constitutional delegation of congressional authority. Due to the time constraints under which the Subcommittee is operating. As is our normal practice in preparing legal opinions. We note also that we have not reviewed provisions of the draft bill beyond Subtitle C. Thus our opinion is explicitly based on the assumption that the other provisions do not affect or relate to the issues you have raised regarding Subtitle C. The general proposition of the delegation doctrine is that Congress may delegate authority to a government agency where there are intelligible principles to govern its implementation. Courts have required that the private entity's implementation be subject to limiting standards as well as to agency review and control.
Draft Legislation ConcerninLi an Electric Reliability Organization, B-360241, March 18, 2003
The Honorable Joe Barton Chair, Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives
Dear Chairman Barton:
This responds to your request of March 13, 2003, confirmed in your letter of March 17, 2003, for our opinion concerning Title VII, Subtitle C, of a March 17 draft "Energy Policy Act of 2003." /1/ Subtitle C would amend the Federal Power Act to authorize a private organization certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish and enforce reliability standards for the bulk-power electricity transmission system. You have asked whether this provision would be deemed a constitutional delegation of congressional authority. Due to the time constraints under which the Subcommittee is operating, it has not been possible for us to solicit the views of affected agencies (in this case, FERC), as is our normal practice in preparing legal opinions. We note also that we have not reviewed provisions of the draft bill beyond Subtitle C, and thus our opinion is explicitly based on the assumption that the other provisions do not affect or relate to the issues you have raised regarding Subtitle C.
For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that Subtitle C would comply with the limitations contained in applicable case law concerning permissible delegations of congressional authority. The general proposition of the delegation doctrine is that Congress may delegate authority to a government agency where there are intelligible principles to govern its implementation. In the context of delegations of rulemaking and enforcement authority to private entities, courts have required that the private entity's implementation be subject to limiting standards as well as to agency review and control. Based on our analysis of the draft bill, the authority delegated in Subtitle C would comply with these limitations grid thus would be constitutional.
We understand that the genesis of proposed Subtitle C is a recommendation by the Electric System Reliability Task Force for Congress to enact legislation clarifying authorities currently exercised by the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC). The Task Force has proposed that Congress authorize FERC to approve the establishment and enforcement of electric reliability standards by a national selfregulatory organization (SRO). The Task Force has suggested that such new legislation be based on existing legislation authorizing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) as a "national securities association" with authority to regulate securities broker-dealers. /2/
Along these same lines, Subtitle C of the draft bill, entitled "Reliability," would amend Part II of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. Secs. 824 etseq, to authorize FERC to certify a private organization to be known as an Electric Reliability Organization (ERO). /3/ The ERO would establish and enforce electricity transmission reliability standards for the bulk-power system, subject to FERC review. /4/ Specifically, FERC could certify one ERO if the agency determined that the ERO was able to develop and enforce bulk-power reliability standards and that the ERO had established rules ensuring that it: (1) is independent from users, owners and operators of the bulkpower system; (2) will equitably allocate reasonable dues, fees and other charges among end users for all activities; (3) will provide procedures for enforcement of reliability standards through imposition of penalties; (4) will provide for notice and comment, due process, openness, and balance of interests in exercising its duties; and (5) will take appropriate steps, after it is certified by FERC, to gain recognition in Mexico and Canada. Draft Bill Sec. 217(c)(2)(A)-(E).
The ERO's proposed reliability standards would take effect only upon approval by FERC, which would be based on whether the standards were "just, reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or preferential, and in the public interest." Draft Bill Sec. 217(d)(2). In making this determination, FERC would be required to give "due weight" to the technical expertise of the ERO with respect to certain subjects, but FERC explicitly would "not defer" to the ERO with respect to the effect of a proposed standard on competition. Id. The bill provides further that FERC may order the ERO to submit a proposed reliability standard that addresses a specific matter, if FERC considers such standard appropriate. Draft Bill Sec. 217(d)(5). All users, owners and operators of the bulk-power system would have to comply with the reliability standards, /5/ and FERC would have jurisdiction over the ERO, any regional entities, and all users, owners and operators of the bulk-power system in the United States. Draft Bill Sec. 217(')(1).
With respect to enforcement, the bill would authorize the ERO to assess penalties on a user, owner or operator of the bulk-power system for violation of a reliability standard if, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, the ERO finds that the standard has been violated and files notice and a record of the proceeding with FERC. Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(1). The penalty would be subject to review by FERC, on its own motion or upon application by the user, owner or operator, Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(2), and, in any proceeding to review a penalty, FERC could, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, affirm, set aside, reinstate or modify the penalty, with possible remand to the ERO. Id. The FERC hearing could consist solely of the record before the ERO and an opportunity for the presentation of supporting reasons to modify the penalty, id., and the penalty assessment also presumably would be subject to judicial review, for example, under the Federal Power Act's provision for judicial review of FERC orders, 16 U.S.C. Sec. 825,~b), or under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 702. /6/
Finally, the bill would require FERC to establish regulations authorizing the ERO, by agreement, to sub-delegate its delegated authority to a regional entity. Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(4). The regional entity could propose reliability standards to the ERO as well as enforce the standards, provided that the regional entity is governed by an independent board, balanced stakeholder board, or a combination independent/balanced stakeholder board; the agreement promotes effective and efficient administration of the bulk-power system's reliability; and the regional entity otherwise satisfies the ERO certification standards. Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(4)(A)-(C). The regional entity must satisfy the standards that apply to certification of EROs. Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(4). FERC could modify the sub-delegation to the regional entity, but both the ERO and FERC must indulge a rebuttable presumption that a request for delegation to a regional entity organized on an interconnection-wide basis meets the effective/efficient standard and therefore should be approved. Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(4). The bill also provides that FERC's regulations may allow FERC to assign the ERO's authority to enforce reliability standards directly to a regional entity. Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(4). We presume that as with the ERO, a regional entity's assessment of penalties would be subject to review by FERC and ultimately by a court. /7/
The Delegation Doctrine
The delegation doctrine is a manifestation of separation of powers concerns, which in turn are grounded in the Constitution's division of the federal government into three branches and the assignment of a distinct role to each branch. Under this structure, Congress cannot assign to itself fundamentally non-legislative authority, nor can it impede the ability of another branch to perform its assigned functions. See, e.g., Wayman v. Southard, 23 U.S. 1 (1825). It is in this context that concerns arise about whether certain congressional grants of authority constitute improper delegations of legislative authority, because under the Constitution's Vesting Clause, all "legislative" power of the federal government is to reside with the Congress. /8/ It is widely recognized under this Clause that Congress may not delegate its fundamental Article I legislative power to another branch or entity. See, e.g, United States v. Shreveport Grain & Elevator Co., 287 U.S. 77, 85 (1932); Field v. Clark, 143 U.S. 649, 692 (1892). The Supreme Court has distinguished between this non-delegable core lawmaking function and delegable ancillary rulemaking and other authorities, and has recognized that Congress must have the ability to delegate authority to federal entities under broad, general guidelines. See Mistretta v. United States, 488 U.S. 361 (1989).
The delegation doctrine has been applied in the context of delegations to public entities in a variety of situations, and the Supreme Court has consistently upheld grants of authority to these entities. See, e.g., Loving v. United States, 517 U.S. 748 (1996) (delegation to President to determine when court martial could impose death penalty); Touby v. United States, 500 U.S. 160 (1991) (delegation to Attorney General to determine element of a crime by designating a controlled substance); Mistretta v. United States (see above) (power of agency to determine sentencing guidelines binding on the courts). Most recently, in Whitman v. American TrucldngAssns, Inc., 531 U.S. 457 (2001), the Court found that the Clean Air Act, which requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate national ambient air quality standards for certain air pollutants, did not impermissibly delegate legislative power to EPA. The Clean Air Act instructs EPA to set standards "the attainment and maintenance of which ... are requisite to protect the public health" with "an adequate margin of safety." 42 U.S.C. Sec. 7409(b)(1). In determining whether this provision violated the delegation doctrine, the Court stated that, "when Congress confers decision-making authority upon agencies, Congress must lay down by legislative act an intelligible principle to which the person or body authorized to act is directed to conform." Whitman, 531 U.S. at 472, citing J. W. Hampton, Jr. & Co. v. United States, 276 U.S. 394, 409 (1928). The Court found that the Clean Air Act contained such principles. According to the Court, "even in sweeping regulatory schemes we have never demanded, as the Court of Appeals did here, that statutes provide a 'determinate criterion' of `saying how much of the regulated harm is too much'...." 531 U.S. at 475, quoting American TruckngAss'ns, Inc. v. EPA, 175 F.3d 1027, 1034 (D.C. Cir. 1999). Rather, Congress may give agencies discretion to establish specific implementing standards, and in this case, the scope of discretion provided to EPA by the Clean Air Act was well within the delegation doctrine's permissible limits as previously announced by the Court.
Grants of Authority to Private Entities in General
The delegation doctrine establishes stricter limits when Congress wishes to assign authority to private or other non-federal entities. In two cases where the Court has struck down such delegations, it expressed concern that the interests of the regulated entities might be adverse to those regulating them, thus raising due process concerns. First, in A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, 295 U.S. 495 (1935), the Court disapproved the delegation of authority to an industrial trade association to draft a code of fair competition for the poultry industry. Although the Court noted that Congress may leave "to selected instrumentalities the making of subordinate rules within prescribed limits and the determination of facts to which the policy as declared by the legislature is to apply," id. at 530, the Court found that in this case, Congress had supplied only a legislative preface of broad generalities, rather than standards, to guide this fair-competition rulemaking. Although the association's draft rules would be submitted to the President for review, the Court was nevertheless concerned about delegation of legislative authority to industrial associations in a way that would empower them to enact laws they deem wise and beneficial for their own private interests.
Next, in Carter v. Carter Coal Co., 298 U.S. 238 (1936), the Court invalidated a delegation to a private party under the Bituminous Coal Conservation Act of 1935, which permitted a majority of miners and producers of coal to establish the minimum wage that would be binding on the entire group. The Court expressed concern about the statutory scheme because it authorized private persons whose interests were adverse to others in the regulated group to set the standards for the entire group, potentially depriving, without due process of law, the property of those who were not represented. /9/
Four years later, however, in SunsldneAnthracite Coal v. Adkhs, 310 U.S. 381 (1940), the Court upheld a provision of the Bituminous Coal Act of 1937, which provided for regulation of the sale and distribution of bituminous coal by the National Bituminous Coal Commission with the cooperation of the coal industry. The Act provided that the coal producers would be members of a private industry association, the Bituminous Coal Code, which was to propose minimum prices pursuant to prescribed statutory standards. The proposed prices could be approved, disapproved or modified by the Commission as the basis for the coordination of minimum prices. According to the Court, because the industry association was subject to the "pervasive surveillance and authority of the Commission," the statute did not constitute an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority, as the industry members functioned subordinately to the Commission. "Since law-making is not entrusted to the industry, this statutory scheme is unquestionably valid." 310 U.S. at 399. /10/
The courts have also upheld congressional directives to private entities to carry out federal programs. In Frame v. United States, 885 F. 2d 1119 (3rd Cir. 1989), for example, the Third Circuit upheld the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985, which required cattle producers and importers to finance a national beef promotional campaign conducted by statutorily designated organizations composed of industry representatives. The statute detailed provisions for selecting the membership of the organizations, the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board and a Beef Promotion Operating Committee. Under the supervision of the Secretary of Agriculture, the organizations were to take the initiative in implementing the promotional campaign. The court applied the standards in Sunshine Anthracite Coal (see above) to determine whether Congress had unlawfully delegated its legislative authority to members of the beef industry, on the grounds that members of the Cattlemen's Board were authorized to collect assessments and take the initiative in planning how those funds were spent. The court found that the delegation was permissible because the Board's actions were subject to the pervasive surveillance and authority of the Secretary of Agriculture.
Grants of Authority to Self-Regulatory Organizations In Particular
Of particular relevance to the draft energy bill's Subtitle C provisions is the regulation of securities broker-dealers by the SEC. The SEC accomplishes most of this regulation through its oversight of the activities of a self-regulatory organization, the NASD. Section 15A of the Securities Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78o-3, added by the Maloney Act of 1938, Pub. L. No. 75-719, 52 Stat. 1070 (1938), authorized the establishment of "national securities associations" to be registered with the SEC. A "national securities association" must promulgate rules designed to "prevent fraudulent and manipulative practices and to promote just and equitable principles of trade" in transactions in the over-the-counter markets, see 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78o-3(b)(6), and the NASD has been established as such an association. By virtue of the Maloney Act, a broker-dealer cannot do business in over-the-counter securities markets unless it becomes a member of the NASD, and it then must comply with the substantive NASD rules. 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78o-3(b)(8). In addition to rulemaking authority, NASD also has broad investigatory and disciplinary powers. The SEC has oversight responsibility over all of these activities, and aggrieved broker-dealers can seek judicial review of the SEC's review of NASD's actions. 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78y(a)(1).
Three Circuit Courts of Appeals have examined whether the Maloney Act constituted a permissible delegation of legislative power, and all three courts have upheld the statute. First, in 1952, the Second Circuit, in R.H. Johnson v. Securities and Exchange Conunission, 198 F. 2d 690 (2d Cir. 1952), reviewed an SEC order that failed to set aside a penalty fixed by NASD suspending the defendant broker-dealer from membership. Citing Sunshine Anthracite Coal, discussed above, the Second Circuit found that, in light of the statutory provisions vesting the SEC with power to approve or disapprove NASD's rules according to reasonably fixed statutory standards, and the fact that NASD disciplinary actions are subject to SEC review, there was "no merit in the contention that the Maloney Act unconstitutionally delegates power to the NASD." 198 F.2d at 695.
Next, in 1977, the Third Circuit, in Todd & Co. v. Securities and Exchange Cornnnission, 557 F.2d 1008 (3rd Cir. 1977), likewise upheld the constitutionality of the Maloney Act, concluding that the Act did not unconstitutionally delegate legislative power to a private institution. The Todd court articulated three critical factors that kept the Maloney Act within constitutional bounds. Rrst, the SEC had the power, according to reasonably fixed statutory standards, to approve or disapprove NASD's rules before they could go into effect. Second, all NASD judgments of rule violations or penalty assessments were subject to SEC review. Third, all NASD adjudications were subject to a de novo (non-deferential) standard of review by the SEC, which could be aided by additional evidence, if necessary. Id. at 1012. Based on these factors, the court found that "[NASD's] rules and its disciplinary actions were subject to full review by the SEC, a wholly public body, which must base its decision on its own findings" and thus that the statutory scheme was constitutional. Id, at 1012-13.
The Third Circuit applied the same three-part Todd test in First Jersey Securities v. Bergen, 605 F.2d 690 (1979), and again upheld the Maloney Act. The court discussed a 1975 amendment to the Maloney Act. As the court explained:
"Prior to 1975, the review provision of the statute called for the SEC to render its decision 'upon the consideration of the record before the association and such other evidence as it deems relevant. . . .' 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78o-3(h)(1)(1970). The statute now provides that the SEC hearing 'may consist solely of consideration of the record before the self-regulatory organization and opportunity for the presentation of supporting reasons to affirm, modify, [or] set aside the sanction. . . .' 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78s(e)(1) (1976)." 605 F.2d at 697.
The court therefore found that:
"[W]e need not now decide whether this statutory change effects a significant alteration in the SEC's power to review NASD disciplinary proceedings. It suffices to say that to the extent the amendment restricts the ability to receive additional evidence not presented below, this does not alter our conclusion in Todd that there is no unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority." Id
It seems clear that the court in FlistJersey determined that the presence of the new statutory language modifying the SEC review provision would not change its conclusion that the statute was constitutional.
Finally, in 1982, the Ninth Circuit considered the constitutionality of Congress' delegation to NASD in Sorrel v. Securities and F,xchange Commission, 679 F. 2d 1323 (9th Cir. 1982). Sorrel followed R.H. Johnson, Todd and FfrstJerseyin holding that because the SEC reviews NASD rules according to reasonably fixed standards, and the SEC can review any NASD disciplinary action, the Maloney Act does not impermissibly delegate power to NASD.
Anvlication of the Case Law Standards to the Draft ERO Provisions
The draft Subtitle C provisions delegating authority to an ERO appear to comply with the standards established in the courts' SRO-related holdings in R.H. Johnson, Todd, FirstJerseyand Sorrel, as well as the more general delegation principles enunciated in Sunshine Anthracite Coal. Applying the first part of the test articulated by the courts, FERC would have the power, according to reasonably fixed statutory standards, to approve or disapprove the ERO's rules. As discussed above, the draft legislation provides that FERC must review all proposed reliability standards and approve those it determines to be just, reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or preferential, and in the public interest, and a proposed standard or modification would take effect only upon approval by FERC. See Draft Bill Sec. 217(d)(2).
Further, while the bill directs FERC to give due weight to the technical expertise of the ERO with respect to the content of a proposed or modified reliability standard, the bill specifically instructs FERC not to defer with respect to the effect of a standard on competition. See Draft Bill Sec. 217(d)(2). Additionally, on its own motion or upon complaint, FERC may order the ERO to submit a proposed reliability standard or modification to a reliability standard, see Draft Bill Sec. 217(d)(5), and final rules are to include fair processes for the identification and timely resolution of any conflict between a reliability standard and any function, rule, order, tariff, rate schedule or agreement accepted by FERC. See Draft Bill Sec. 217(d)(6).
The bill also meets the second factor of concern to the courts. As the courts found significant in Todd and FlrstJersey, all ERO determinations of penalties would be subject to review by FERC, on its own motion or upon timely application by the adversely affected user, owner or operator. Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(2). Again, the penalty assessment presumably would be subject to judicial review.
Finally, the bill meets the courts' third factor of concern, as applied in KrstJersey The FfmtJersey court held that this factor - having de novo agency review of the SRO's findings with authority to receive additional evidence - was satisfied by statutory language virtually identical to that in Sec. 217(e)(2) of the draft energy bill. As in Draft Bill Sec. 217(e)(2), the language at issue in P rstJersey, added to the Securities Exchange Act in 1975, provides for review by the SEC "after notice and opportunity for hearing (which hearing may consist solely of consideration of the record before the SRO and opportunity for the presentation of supporting reasons to affirm, modify or set aside the sanction)."
In sum, we conclude that the provisions in Subtitle C of the draft energy bill would be deemed a constitutional delegation of congressional authority.
The Appointments Clause
We also have considered whether the delegation of authority to the ERO under Subtitle C raises any difficulties under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. The Appointments Clause, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2, provides that the President shall appoint "all ... Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law...... Persons "who are not appointed... and who therefore cannot be considered `Officers of the United States' may not discharge functions that are properly discharged only by officers." United States ex. rel. Kelly v. Boeing, 9 F.3d 743,757 (9th Cir. 1993).
The test applied by the Supreme Court to assess whether appointees are exercising authority that can only properly belong to appointed officers is whether they " exercis[e] significant authority pursuant to the laws of the United States." Buckley v. valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 126 (1976). In Buckley, the Supreme Court examined a separation-of-powers challenge to the authority and composition of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), whose voting membership consisted primarily of congressional appointees. The Court held that statutory provisions vesting the FEC with "primary responsibility for conducting civil litigation in the courts of the United States for vindicating public rights" violated the Appointments Clause because these functions could only be performed by duly appointed officers. Id. at 140.
In recent years, the courts have addressed Buckley's test for identifying when an individual, by virtue of the exercise of "significant authority" under federal law, must be appointed as an officer. In a recent case, Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians v. United States, 110 F.3d 688 (9th Cir. 1997), the Ninth Circuit rejected an Appointments Clause challenge to a federal statute under which the Secretary of Interior--before placing lands in trust for Indian gaming operations--would have to seek the concurrence of the governor of the state where the land was located. While the state governors could take actions (concurrence or non-concurrence) that would affect federal interests pursuant to federal law, the court found that the ultimate authority for enforcing the law and protecting federal interests remained in the hands of the Secretary of Interior, a duly appointed officer of the United States. The court therefore concluded that the governors did not exercise "significant authority" sufficient to trigger application of the Appointments Clause. 110 F.3d at 696-99. /11/
In line with the rationale in Confederated Tribes, the proposed legislation vests in the federal government (specifically FERC) substantial oversight and review authority over the actions of the ERO, thus ensuring that the ultimate authority for enforcing the law rests with duly appointed federal officers. Furthermore, as the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has observed, in the context of delegations to non-federal actors, the Supreme Court and other courts that have addressed the constitutionality of such delegations have focused on the delegation doctrine, discussed above, without identifying the Appointments Clause as a second source of constitutional concern. /12/ According to a 1995 OLC opinion, the Appointments Clause is not mentioned by the courts in analyzing delegation issues because "what limits exist on the ability to delegate governmental authority to private actors are encompassed within the non-delegation doctrine." /13/ Given these considerations, and our conclusion that Subtitle C would be deemed to involve a constitutionally permissible delegation, we do not believe that this subtitle would present a problem under the Appointments Clause.
In summary, we conclude that the provisions of draft Subtitle C would not constitute an impermissible delegation of congressional authority under the existing case law, nor would they implicate concerns under the Appointments Clause. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact Lynn H. Gibson, Managing Associate General Counsel, Susan D. Sawtelle, Associate General Counsel, or Rachel M. DeMarcus, Senior Attorney, at (202) 512-5400.
Sincerely yours,
Anthony H. Gamboa General Counsel
1. For clarity, we have enclosed a copy of Subtitle C of the March 17, 2003 Committee Print. The March 17 draft is materially identical to the draft we received from your staff on March 13. Citations herein to "Draft Bill Sec.___" refer to the draft's proposed new Federal Power Act sections.
2. See "Maintaining Bulk-Power Reliability Through Use of a Self-Regulating Organization: Position Paper," available March 13, 2003 at www.nerc.com/download/doe srro.html.
3. The court in Enron PoweriVarketing, Inc. v. FERC, 296 F.3d 1148 (D.C. Cir. 2002), commented on a related issue, namely, whether FERC could sub-delegate its congressionally delegated authority to NERC. Draft Subtitle C would moot this issue, by delegating congressional authority directly to the ERO.
4. A "reliability standard" is defined in the bill as a requirement, approved by FERC, to provide for reliable operation of the bulk-power system, including requirements for operation of existing bulkpower system facilities and the design of planned additions or modifications to such facilities to the extent necessary to provide for reliable operation of the bulk-power system. The term does not include any requirement to enlarge such facilities or to construct new transmission or generation capacity. Draft Bill Sec. 217(a)(3). A "bulk-power system" is defined in the bill as the facilities and control systems necessary for operating an interconnected electric energy transmission network and electric energy from generation facilities needed to maintain transmission reliability. Draft Bill Sec. 217(a)(1)(A).
5. We understand this would include both private entities and federal entities (such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Bonneville Power Administration, and other federal power marketing agencies), among others. See Draft Bill Sec. 217(')(1)("The Commission shall have jurisdiction ... over the ERO certified by the Commission under subsection (c), any regional entities, and all users, owners and operators of the bulk-power system, including but not limited to the entities described in section 201(f)...." The entities described in Section 201(f), 16 U.S.C. Sec. 824(f), are "the United States, a State or any political subdivision of a State, or any agency, authority, or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing, or any corporation which is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by any one or more of the foregoing, or any officer, agent, or employee of any of the foregoing acting as such in the course of his official duty....").
6. The Subcommittee may wish to clarify the bill on this point.
7. The Subcommittee may wish to clarify the bill on this point.
8. The Vesting Clause provides that "(a]ll legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives." U.S. Const., Art. 1, Sec. 1.
9. The Court stated, "This is legislative delegation in its most obnoxious form; for it is not even delegation to an official or official body, presumptively disinterested, but to private persons whose interests may be and often are adverse to the interests of others in the same business. . . [Olne person may not be entrusted with the power to regulate the business of another, and especially of a competitor. And a statute which attempts to confer such power undertakes an intolerable and unconstitutional interference with personal liberty and private property. The delegation is so clearly a denial of rights safeguarded by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment that it is unnecessary to do more than refer to decision of this court which forecloses the question." 298 U.S. at 311 (citing Schechter Poultry, discussed above, and two earlier decisions). Page 5 B-360241
10. The courts have long upheld delegation of authority to private entities to set regulatory standards. See, e.g., St. Louis, Iron Mt. & So. Railway v. Taylor, 210 U.S. 281 (1908) (upholding delegation to American Railway Association to determine standard height of draw bars for freight cars; Interstate Commerce Commission was required to accept the figure); Jackson v. Roby, 109 U.S. 440 (1883) (upholding delegation to local miners to issue rules governing mining claims on public lands); Butte City Water Co. v. Baker, 196 U.S. 119 (1905) (same). The courts also have upheld legislation conditioning the exercise of a federal official's authority on the approval of a private entity. See, e.g., Currin v. Wallace, 306 U.S. 1 (1939)(upholding statute authorizing Secretary of Agriculture to promulgate regulations pertaining to tobacco growers if the regulations are approved by two-thirds of growers); G'nited States v. Rock Royal Co-op, 307 U.S. 533 (1939)(upholding statute allowing milk cooperatives to approve or disapprove of Secretary of Agriculture's marketing order).
11. "See also Seattle MasteFBuildeis v. Pack N.W. Elec. Power, 786 F.2d 1359 (9th Cir. 1986) (members of interstate compact council created with congressional consent did not have to be appointed pursuant to the Appointments Clause because the Council was carrying out state functions). In Seattle MasteFBuilders, the court also rejected arguments that the interstate council was operating as a federal agency because its activities would have a direct effect on a federal entity, the Bonneville Power Administration. In this regard, the court noted that, "there is no bar against federal agencies following policies set by nonfederal agencies." 786 F.2d at 1363-64.
12. While past opinions of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) suggested that legislative delegations of authority to non-federal actors could violate the Appointments Clause, see, e.g., 13 Op. Off. Legal Counsel 207 (1989) (qui tam suits by private parties under False Claims Act violate Appointments Clause because private parties exercise "significant governmental power"), OLC reversed this position in the mid-1990's, concluding that the Appointments Clause is only implicated when there has been an appointment of an individual to an office within the federal government. See Memorandum for the General Counsels of the Federal Government, 1996 OLC LEXIS 60; Memorandum for John Sclunidt, Associate Attorney General: Constitutional Limitations on Federal Government Participation on Binding Arbitration, 1995 OLC LEXIS 17.

Episode Summary: With the First Ades Fleet and Silvius engaged in battle near their border, Glacies launch Rocket Vanships towards the combat zone. Meanwhile, despite Sadri's message to the crew of the Silvius to surrender Millia and themselves in exchange for their safety, Tatiana ignores his demands and orders her crew to prepare for battle. They attempt to break through the Ades Fleet formation with skilled use of vanships and a smokescreen. The Silvius seemingly escapes the fray only to encounter Sadri's flagship, the Anshar. Under heavy attack, Tatiana orders the Silvius to the mountain range near the Glacies border. Feeling responsible for the current situation, Fam asks Tatiana to allow her to help, and she immediately sets out to do so by capturing one final battleship to fulfill their agreement. In a rush, she takes Millia as her Navi. With the Silvius hiding in the clouds and suffering damage from the Ades Fleet's depth charges, Tatiana orders the Silvius to head towards the weakest point of the mountain side. They blast it with their weapons to enable passage of the ship through. At the same time, the Rocket Vanships arrive and begin their assault on the Ades Fleet. Sadri orders most of the fleet to leave the Glacies border, with only the Anshar and three other battleships to continue the pursuit of the Silvius. One of the Rocket Vanships attaches a cable on the Silvius and orders the crew to surrender. A massive chunk of debris ejected by the earlier mountain blast suddenly hits the Silvius, forcing the ship under the clouds. The attached Rocket Vanship is dragged under and their crew is knocked unconscious. As the Rocket Vanship swings helplessly Fam and Millia rush to its aid until the crew regain consciousness. Another Glacies vanship destroys the cable and escorts their colleagues away from the Silvius. With the Silvius skilfully avoiding a crash into the Grand Lake, Fam flies around to the underside of the Anshar. Millia shoots and disables the Anshar's Claudia engine, forcing the crew to abandon ship. With the resulting capture of their 15th and final battleship, Fam and Millia return to the Silvius and a heroes' welcome. As the credits roll with the theme song "Starboard [Silky Wind ver.]" by Hitomi Kuroishi playing, pictures of the first fourteen battleships Fam and her friends captured are shown.

Is Biblical Inspiration a Proof of Calvinism?
by Jack Cottrell (Notes) on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 2:26pm
SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN about a "Calvinist challenge," thus: "I wanted to pass along a challenge a Calvinist has thrown down. My answer, thus far, has been that Scripture is silent on the 'mode' of inspiration, leaving the Calvinist with the same conundrum. I wondered if you might have a further thought on the following challenge:"
"How is it that God inspired the Scriptures in such a way that every word—indeed, every jot and tittle—was what He determined? Every standard evangelical definition of inspiration would emphatically insist that God used the personalities, vocabularies, intellects, and learning of the individual authors—and we completely agree. Let's also stipulate that He did not employ dictation (except in a few cases where this is expressly stated). Yet the product was still determined sovereignly by God. The words are avowedly His words (2 Peter 1:21; 1 Corinthians 2:13). So how did this miracle occur?
"I say you cannot answer that question without embracing the very essence of the Calvinist position regarding God's sovereignty and human free will." [So says the challenger.]
In my book "What the Bible Says About God the Ruler" I show the clear distinctions among THREE different ways God works in the world: general providence, special providence, and miracles. (See also "The Faith Once for All," 119-125.) The "Calvinist challenge" (above) seems to equate Biblical inspiration only with the category of miracles, which is shown by the emphatic use of the terms "miracle" and "determined." My understanding of inspiration is that every jot and tittle of the Bible is APPROVED rather than determined. Every word is approved by God and thus bears his guarantee of truthfulness and his authority. Only the dictated parts would be produced by a process equivalent to miracles (and thus determined). Other parts are produced by a process equivalent to special providence, as in God's life-long preparation of certain individuals to be Biblical authors, or in his raising certain thoughts and memories to the writers' minds. Still other parts are produced by a process equivalent to general providence, in that they are the authors' own thoughts and feelings (as in many Psalms, or in Paul's list of greetings in Rom. 16), which are subject to God's PERMISSIVE WILL only. But since God's permissive will implies his right and ability to PREVENT any about-to-happen product of a writer's pen from actually being written (e.g., a factual error), even that part of Scripture produced under his permissive will (i.e., general providence) has his approval. This shows how the Bible can be fully inspired and authoritative without saying that its every letter is "determined sovereignly" by God. The free will of the authors is still operative under general providence and special providence. Thus the so-called "Calvinist challenge" proves to be quite toothless.

Selling your Fire Morel Mushrooms
February 16, 2012
If you're lucky, you'll be picking in an area that's productive enough for buyers to come set-up road site selling stations in your location. If there aren't any buyers in the area, you should make sure to contact possible buyers before you head out to see how many mushrooms they'll take and what price they'll pay. Alternatively, you can also contact local restaurants and markets to see if you can directly sell your mushroom to them.
When selling to buying stations, remember that prices can differ day to day as morels are very much a supply and demand business. Prices are usually the best at the beginning of the season and gradually fall as the picking season continues.
hi there my name is tony and i have been pickin for over 20 years and i am looking
for local buyer's in the restraunt field (preferably expensive restraunts), with great
chefs who injoy a variaty of edible shrooms i pick in my local area and abroud.I
produce fine qulity fresh and dried mushrooms of choice as they come into season.
right now thunder mushrooms are available and are very edible with the morell
mushroom also being harvested shortly.Thunder mushrooms our a traditional food
for natives and seem to be not on the market for sale people confuse it with field
mushrooms they our one of the best edible spring mushroom i have ever tasted and if not on the market it should be .I also know of other mushrooms that grow close to the fall like cotton wood and sand mushrooms their very edible, and grow in my area in abundants also scarse on the market and very edible and can be dried as well.some others include ouster,chantrell,king bol,lobster ect….i live in merritt bc and need buyers for up coming season {no station buyers please)I feel station buyers don't understand what a professional picker will do to pick mushrooms and will go to great lengths to get them .i consider myself a professional picker and know what i should be making for top qulity fresh or dried mushrooms.This is why i manly dry mushrooms near the end of the season to keep for when mushrooms are in high demand like the dried morells and thunder shrooms. Well drop me a line if you want to put in any orders or if you have any restraunt owners that want an order . Test mushrooms are free and will send 1/2 a pound as a pre order test and will send more for a price if they like them.get your thunder mushroooms now accepting oorders now

Giants score more by missing less
Giants score more by missing less
SAN FRANCISCO -- A reduction in strikeouts has meant increased scoring for the Giants. San Francisco entered Sunday's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers on pace to score 705 runs, exceeding last year's total of 570. Making more consistent contact partially explains the Giants' improvement. They began Sunday with the second-fewest strikeouts in the National League -- 945, bettered only by Philadelphia's 921. Hensley Meulens, who has worked with co-hitting coach Joe Lefebvre on sharpening the Giants' approach at the plate, compared the current team favorably to the 2010 squad that captured the World Series. "We're having better at-bats this year than we did during the regular season when we won," Meulens said.
Giants hitters have concentrated more on connecting with the top half of pitches -- "Hitting the ball on a line drive down," Meulens called it -- resulting in topspin that helps batted balls fall safely. "That's instead of trying to hit the ball up, and you get 350-foot fly balls," Meulens said. The Giants remain subpar in scoring at home, where their 3.54 per-game average is the third-lowest figure in the Major Leagues. But they averaged 4.86 runs in their last 14 games at AT&T Park before Sunday, reflecting their progress.
