From handmade, homegrown origins, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival has blossomed into a cultural behemoth second only to Mardi Gras in annual economic impact. Tens of thousands of fans from around the globe descend on the city each spring to consume local music, food and crafts on the infield of the Fair Grounds racetrack.
After several false starts, a coalition of civic leaders solicited George Wein, the storied founder of the Newport Jazz Festival, to produce the first New Orleans Jazz Fest in 1970. Wein coupled a daytime "Heritage Fair" in what is now Armstrong Park with evening concerts in the adjacent Municipal Auditorium. He enlisted Tulane University students Quint Davis and Allison Miner to help recruit musicians. Attendees numbered in the hundreds.
In 1972, Jazz Fest moved to the Fair Grounds. As its producer and director, Davis, the son of a prominent architect, became the public face of the festival, which is owned by the nonprofit New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation.
Years of steady growth culminated in the announced crowd of 160,000 that turned out on a single day in 2001 headlined by the Dave Matthews Band and homegrown rapper Mystikal.
Overall attendance, and tourism in general, declined following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. After the rain-soaked 2004 Jazz Fest lost approximately $1 million, the foundation's board of directors put production of the festival out to bid.
When the dust settled, Wein and Davis' Festival Productions Inc.-New Orleans was retained. FPI-NO subsequently partnered with international entertainment conglomerate AEG Live, which contributed financial support, marketing muscle and music industry clout.
In the months after Hurricane Katrina, some AEG executives doubted whether the city could support a multimillion-dollar festival the following spring. Corporate sponsors were solicited to shore up the bottom line. Shell signed on as the first presenting sponsor; the festival was rechristened the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival presented by Shell. The streamlined 2006 Jazz Fest yielded many uplifting, emotionally charged moments, including Bruce Springsteen's set with the Seeger Sessions Band.
More recently, producers have sought to broaden Jazz Fest's appeal by booking the likes of Bon Jovi, Pearl Jam, Billy Joel, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Lauryn Hill, Frankie Beverly & Maze, My Morning Jacket and Arcade Fire. Still, the overwhelming majority of its 600-odd acts boast a Louisiana pedigree.

SOUTHERN African peacekeepers will have the power to enforce peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, rather than just keep it, Southern African Development Community (Sadc) leaders decided at hastily convened talks on the Congo crisis in Maputo at the weekend.
Sadc Secretary-General Tomaz Salamão said its 4,000-strong force would be given the power "to engage with whoever is trying to destabilise the situation in the eastern part of Congo".
The mandate is in stark contrast to that of United Nations (UN) forces in the Congo, who can shoot only if attacked. About 17,000 UN peacekeepers were criticised last year after M23 rebels overran the city of Goma.
The Sadc brigade will nominally fall under the UN, but have its own command structure. Sadc officials said planning for the deployment was "advanced", but they needed an official mandate from the UN Security Council.
South Africa, Tanzania, Malawi and Zimbabwe have committed to sending troops. Other countries, such as Zambia and Namibia, have pledged financial or logistical support. Mozambique has not yet given a firm troop commitment.
Sadc said in December it aimed to raise $100m for the mission.
Friday's extraordinary summit was the culmination of a series of meetings to discuss what Mozambican Foreign Minister Oldemiro Baloi called "the hottest dossier facing us right now".
Mozambican President Armando Guebuza said: "We have a moral obligation to continue to engage ourselves with courage and serenity, with our experience, resources and sense of humanity, to remove the spectre of insecurity for the people of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo."
The issues of the mandate and command structure of the Sadc force has been holding up the signing of a UN regional peace deal for the Congo. Neighbouring Tanzania hailed Friday's breakthrough as a real chance for peace.
"It is a big leap forward for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo," said Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, who heads Sadc's troika on politics, defence and security. He was in Maputo to report back on his talks with the UN and Great Lakes countries on the peacekeeping force.

The Devils' power play had five chances during the first two periods of Monday night's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wachovia Center, but couldn't capitalize.
It was the Flyers who took a 2-0 lead via two even-strength goals late in the opening period and went on to a 4-1 victory.
"I thought on the 5-on-3 early we hadn't worked on it at all the last few days and we didn't score on it," coach Brent Sutter said. "Brian (Rolston) and Patty (Elias) were both on the wrong side of the ice."
Sutter used Rolston and Mike Mottau on the points while the first power play unit featured Elias, Bobby Holik and Brian Gionta up front.
The Flyers scored the first goal of the game at 17:12 on a tip from Mike Richards. Andreas Nodl took the initial shot from the left point and Richards the puck past goaltender Kevin Weekes. Scott Hartnell was originally credited with the goal before a scoring change was made after the period.
Philly scored again at 18:48 when Devils defenseman Matthew Corrente was unable to clear the slot. That allowed Steve Downie to score from the slot to give the home side a 2-0 lead.
Devils rookie Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond fought Flyers enforcer Riley Cote with 1:09 remaining in the opening period. Letourneau-Leblond held his own, but had his helmet knocked off by a Cote punch.
Letourneau-Leblond had a second fight when he took on Matt Clackson after 9:10 of the second period.
"Leblond got involved in the game," Sutter said.
Leblond certainly helped his cause.
"I don't know where I'm going to end up," he said. "I do what I do best. The only thing I can do is play and do my job. I have no control over the situation."
After that bout, the Devils changed goalies. Scott Clemmensen replaced Weekes, who gave up a pair of goals on 14 shots.
Martin Biron played the first two periods in goal for the Flyers, stopping all 20 shots he faced. Maxime Ouellet started the third period.
Downie scored his second goal of the night at 3:44 of the third period. Nicklas Bergfors thyrew the puck up along the boards, giving Braydon Coburn a shot that Downie deflected past Clemmensen.
Bergfors helped get the goal back when he assisted on a goal at 9:26 of the third. After a Flyers turnover, Bergfors centered the puck for Petr Vrana in the slot and the young center beat Ouellet.
Scottie Upshall scored an empty net goal for the Flyers with 1:20 remaining.

Libby Brooks: On the referendum trail with Jim Murphy
FEATURE: The Guardian's Libby Brooks follows Labour's Jim Murphy on the campaign trail as he tours Scotland calling for a 'No' vote in September's referendum.
Murphy is currently undertaking a tour of 100 Scottish towns in the 100 days leading to 18 September.
Nineteen-year-old Jack Whyte has never heard of Jim Murphy, shadow secretary of state for international development, former Scottish secretary, MP for East Renfrewshire, Celtic season ticket holder and Irn Bru drinker.
So he is amused and bemused to have his late afternoon loll on the low wall by the shops on Blinkbonny Road, Falkirk, interrupted by the dapper politician, local Better Together supporters and the obligatory scattering of Young People With Clipboards.

Marvel's strangest film so far, 'Guardians Of The Galaxy,' makes a strong Hall H debut
SAN DIEGO - I was here for the first-time presentations that Marvel made for both "Thor" and "Captain America," and I thought they were both very confident panels that did a good job of conveying (A) the casting and (B) the general tone of each of the movies. They were good. Solid. Did the trick.
Today's presentation for "Guardians Of The Galaxy" was easily better than both of those combined. I am going out on a limb here, but I think this looks like one of the most genuinely fun things Marvel has ever made. I find something about the entire notion of Marvel just suddenly doing space fantasy ballsy and weird in the first place, but this particular property, done this particular way, by this particular filmmaker? That's just insane. It's an insane proposition on paper. I have no doubt there are execs at other studios just waiting to see this one stumble, and I also have no doubt those same people are going to be dumbfounded when they see what it actually is.
As the cast of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" made their way backstage, Chris Hardwick stood waiting, and finally welcomed Kevin Feige back to the stage. He talked about how cool the first two presentations looked, but asked Kevin if there was any way he could talk about something new.
Kevin looked out at the crowd, deadpan. "Well… do you like new things?"
I swear to God, Feige is like Pavlov ringing the dinner bell at this point. He and his team know the Hall H crowd better than they know their own families. They play them. Marvel is the Globetrotters, and every fanboy in that room is the Washington Generals. That's just how it is now.
Once he had the crowd warmed up, Kevin told us that they were 14 days into shooting the film, which is really just barely started. "They very much wanted to come here to say hi to you." Long pause. "So they came here to say hi to you."
James Gunn came out to introduce his cast, and I gotta say… this is one motley crew. I love it. Visually, they are something else, even without the make-up that they'll all wear in the film. Michael Rooker's sporting a Travis Bickle right now, a wee little mohawk, so he can play Yondu. My favorite "Dr. Who" companion ever, Amy Pond, seems to be going by a new name now. "Karen Gillan". Sounds totally phony. Anyway, she's playing Nebula. Djimon Hounsou is Korath, and Lee Pace is Ronan The Accuser. Benicio Del Toro will be The Collector with Zoe Saldana playing Gamora. The most remarkable sight of the entire panel had to be Dave Bautista making his entrance. He's Drax the Destroyer in the film. And finally, Chris Pratt as Star Lord, the center of this very warped corner of the galaxy.
I think it's outstanding that Gunn's sense of humor is all over the footage we saw. He's put together a very eccentric cast. One by one, those names are all interesting for different reasons, but you put them together, throw a little John C. Reilly in on top, add an animated raccoon and a large mute sentient tree, and you've got the weirdest goddamn mainstream movie possible. The only way to play it is to steer right into the absurdity of it.
Gunn talked about how he hasn't really had to adapt his shooting style for the film, since he's always been a meticulous planner. The scale may be different, but he seems to be making the film he wants to make. I think what Marvel is pretty good at by now is deciding if they like the film someone's describing, and then if they decide to make it, they back that film as hard as they can. They really do seem to put a lot of trust in the people making these. This is not tiny little indie experiment that Gunn's making. It's a big-budget outer space action comedy with effects and all sorts of stars, and it's not something that most people already know. This is as close as Marvel gets to creating an all-new IP for film. There is no real precedent that you can point at for this.
Hardwick asked Pratt if the recent photos that appeared online of him in fairly remarkable shape had anything to do with him getting the role in the film. "Nope," Pratt replied. "Really weird timing. I just happened to get a tapeworm." Pratt's a natural for panels like this. He will have fun riffing and teasing if you give him any set-up at all. "Actually, I got this role six months ago, and when I got it, they said 'Yeah, that was really good, but you're too fat.' And I said, 'Well, I can work on that.' So I got the part and then they gave me a personal trainer."
They all seemed careful in terms of how much plot they were willing to discuss, but Pratt described the character as "a jerk. Star Lord lives in outer space, and he had a tough time as a kid, and now he just flies around outer space, making out with hot alien girls and being a sort of a rogue. Through teaming up with these guys, though, he finds a higher purpose, something to care about and fight for and something worth putting his life on the line."
Saldana is pretty much cornering the market on outer-space female leads right now, which she acknowledged when she said, "I've been blue, so why not try green?" She said that when she described the character to her 11-year-old niece, she tried calling her "a fierce warrior." Her niece corrected her, though. "No. She's an assassin." Saldana seemed pleased to be playing an assassin from space, but her enthusiasm was nothing compared to Dave Bautista.
I interviewed him earlier this year, and it was the wrong day. Just one of those things. I wasn't on my game, and we didn't have a ton to talk about regarding "The Man With The Iron Fists." What I saw today, though, was an actor who knows that people perceive him a certain way because of how he looks and where he came from, a guy who finally has hold of a role he feels like he could turn into something special, and he understands that you don't get many of these moments. Bautista was very frank when talking about how much he wanted the role, and Feige admitted that they really put him through his paces. "We made him audition seven times," Feige said. Bautista said that when he found out he got the part, he cried "like a little baby." He seemed thankful for the moment, and very genuine. Gunn told us that Bautista is terrifying in the role, and I am curious to check it out now.
Lee Pace played it close to the vest regarding Ronan The Accuser. "He's a very complicated Kree," he said. He told the crowd he didn't really want to describe the character. "We're going to put it on the screen," he said.
In another fairly blunt moment, Djimon Hounsou said that he really, really wanted the part of Drax The Destroyer, and said that as soon as he saw Bautista for the first time in London, he knew immediately why they picked him instead. He said he was happy to be playing Korath instead, "a great ally to Ronan and Thanos."

This article contains detailed description of downloading and installing WinSCP. You may want to see simplified guide to the process instead.
The most users will prefer installing WinSCP for an easy setup.
Though note that, if you prefer so, you can use WinSCP executable as a portable application with its settings stored in an INI file and no installation required. This configuration is best for using WinSCP from a removable media.
You can obtain WinSCP from the WinSCP download page. You should save the installer to an easily accessible location such as your Microsoft Windows desktop or your My Documents folder.
To upgrade WinSCP, download the newer version, and then install it. The installation will preserve your configuration, and – if necessary – upgrade it.
The new WinSCP version will be installed in your language, if this particular localization has already been completed. The installation package contains all the translations that were complete at the time of its release. Otherwise you must install the new translation manually, if available. Any translation from your previous WinSCP version will not work with the new version.
When upgrading Portable executable, just replace the executable files with the new version. New version can always read configuration from the old version.
To check for rare backward incompatible changes between versions, search version history for "Change:". When upgrading from a version more than a year old, do not forget to search also old version history.
In most cases, you may downgrade in the same way as upgrade (i.e. install the old version over the newer one). However safe way is to uninstall the newer version (while keeping your configuration) and only then install the old version.
Note that some of your configurations may be lost when downgrading. To make sure that you will be able to downgrade, you should backup your configuration before the upgrade.
To remove WinSCP, go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program.
On Windows 10, you can also use Settings > System > Apps & features.
During the removal, WinSCP will ask if you want to remove WinSCP configuration and other data stored on your computer.
WinSCP uses Inno Setup as installer. It lets you use optional command-line parameters to automate the installation.
You can use following parameters to automate the installation:
/LANG=language - Runs the installer using the specified language. For the
language, use the Code from translations page.
/SILENT - Runs the installer without any prompts (with the exception of error messages, etc.). Default selections are used for destination folder, components, etc.
/VERYSILENT - As
/SILENT, but without showing the progress window.
/NORESTART - Instructs installer not to reboot even if it's necessary.
/LOG="filename" - Causes Setup to create a log file.
/LOADINF="filename" - Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the
/SAVEINF parameter.
/SAVEINF="filename" - Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file.
/NOCLOSEAPPLICATIONS - Prevents Setup from closing applications using files that need to be updated by Setup.
See full list of Inno Setup setup command line parameters.
WinSCP uninstaller (
unins000.exe in WinSCP installation directory) has the same parameters as above (except for
/LOADINF and
See full list of Inno Setup uninstaller command line parameters. When running uninstaller silently, configuration and other data stored on your computer are not removed.

The spinning and the grinding sounds are awful!
I just received a Micro Mosquito 4x4 as a gift today, and right out of the box it worked great. I was flying it around for a while, and ended up cracking the top rotor blade with a pretty nasty crash. This is my first rc, well... anything, really, but I've never had any trouble repairing things myself before so I went ahead and changed my rotor blades.
After I put everything back together I gave it a test flight and it was hovering alright, so I took it into a room with some more space. When I started it up again, it started to spin out of control sitting on the floor. I maxed my trim control knob and was yawing(?) against it with no success. I was trying to see if there was anything I might have shoved out of place changing the blades, and I started up the heli and this horrid grinding sound started coming from somewhere.
Does anyone have any idea what I might have done to it? Or maybe how to fix it? I would really appreciate any help I could get.
I love my little s'quito.

Is there anything I can do as far as opening it up and doing any repair work that you know of?
To answer your question, IMO no. However, use the google site search and you will find threads on this Heli and after doing some research which will requires lots of time reading, you may find the answer you seek....or not
Good Luck in your quest
Modfly couldn't have said it better. Sometimes it comes down to you get what you pay for, or in this case what they paid for. I had one of those mosquitos, and in all honestly it was nothing but a joke. I also reccommened a McX too if you want to give the hobby another go. It's a fun hobby to be in, and you would enjoy it. Best of luck.

Well, I was able to fix my little 4x4, and it's scootin' around better than before.
I have been seriously considering the mcx as soon as I looked it up last night. I really appreciate the suggestion. I was looking for a good one, and I think that will be my next purchase.
I am pretty set on getting the hang of this little guy though.
Glad you got her fixed!!!!
After any mishap check to see if any gears or blades are rubbing on any of the motors. Check all of the shafts for hair or dust that may have gotten wrapped around during your mishap. Also give it some lube. Light oil for the motor shafts and light Teflon grease for the gears.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!!!

An 11-year-old girl is recovering after being shot in the parking lot of a central Kentucky church.
Investigators say the child was in a parked car at the Magnolia Street Christian Church in Harrodsburg.
Police say someone fired a shot into the car, hitting the 11-year-old in the arm.
She was treated and released soon after.
Police do not think this was an accidental shooting.
"Especially in the church parking lot, I mean, you would assume that would be a fairly safe place to sit and park. Not a terrible neighborhood. It was surprising that it happened there," said Sgt. Brian Allen of the Harrodsburg Police Department.

FORT LEE, Va. (Jan. 30, 2014) -- Fort Lee's newest general celebrated his promotion with family, friends and fellow Soldiers during a ceremony Friday in the high bay of Hatcher Hall on the Ordnance Campus.
Brig. Gen. John F. Haley pinned on his first star with the help of his wife, Jennifer, his daughters, Mairin and Caoilinn, his father, Dr. Neil Haley, his mother, Janice, as well as Lt. Gen. Edward C. Cardon, commanding general, U.S. Army Cyber Command, and Maj. Gen. Larry D. Wyche, commanding general, CASCOM and Fort Lee.
Cardon -- who served with Haley in the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq -- welcomed him into the general officer ranks and said he had proved his competence while they were deployed together, although it takes more than competence to be a good general.
"You can have competence, but at the end of the day, it's character that counts," Cardon said. "The character in this man is really something unbelievable. When I queried some of his subordinates, that's what they talked about -- his character."
There are about 300 general officers in the Army, and Cardon said Haley is an outstanding addition to the ranks, and he thinks he will continue to progress in his Army career.
"I don't think (this promotion) will be his last," he said.
Haley thanked those in attendance and expressed his appreciation to Cardon for helping promote him.
"Lt. Gen. Cardon, thanks so much for officiating," he said. "You are one of our Army's best; not only a great strategic thinker, but a Soldier's leader and personally, a mentor and a friend."
He also had special thanks for his family for their support during his career.
"They ground me, keep me humble and endure hardships I never had to as a child," he said. "Jenn often says that I've been able to succeed in the Army in spite of her. But I want all of you to know that any success I've had is because of her."
Although Haley's ceremony was Friday, his official promotion date was Dec. 2. He said it was proving impossible to gather his family and fellow Soldiers before the holidays, so the event was pushed out several weeks. However, when the general officer management office called him last week to officiate the ceremony of a fallen Soldier, he had a private promotion ceremony in his house.
"The Army has a general officer attend every funeral we have of our fallen, no matter where or when," he said. "When I informed GOMO that I had not pinned on yet, they said 'Not so fast general. Your effective date was Dec. 2, so stop sandbagging and pin it on.'
"So Jennifer pinned me in our living room with the cat in attendance," he said. "Although it was very nice and intimate, I think she enjoyed demoting me back to colonel even more when I returned from the mission to Fort Lee."
While most general officer promotions on Fort Lee happen at the Lee Club, Haley said he wanted to go back to his roots with this promotion.
"Twenty-three years ago in front of a maintenance bay in Germany, I pinned on first lieutenant; my first promotion," he said. "That's why I wanted to hold this ceremony in a maintenance bay today surrounded by the combat power and might of the United States Army; back to my Army roots."
Haley said when he started in the Army, he wasn't sure his career was headed in the right direction.
"Coming out of the ordnance basic course, the job all of us wanted to have was maintenance platoon leader in a division," he said. "I got assigned as an operations officer at a depot. I thought my career was over before it even started. But it turned out OK, because I had a great boss."
That great boss helped Haley make the decision to stay in the Army and reach for those higher ranks. He said his leadership and fellow Soldiers helped him reach his new rank.
"I stand here today not on this motor pool floor, but on the shoulders of those who came before me -- subordinates, peers and superiors," he said. "(I am a) humble servant of this great Army and nation of ours.
"As I transition to a general officer, I am honored, humbled and thankful to be able to continue to serve our great Army and nation," he continued. "I feel like I have so much more to give our Soldiers, whom we ask so much of, and I commit myself to leading with a servant's heart."

DEPARTMENT OF GAME OF WASHINGTON v. PUYALLUP TRIBE ET AL.
No. 72-481
414 U.S. 44; 94 S. Ct. 330; 1973 U.S. LEXIS 173; 38 L. Ed. 2d 254
October 10, 1973, Argued
November 19, 1973, Decided *
* Together with No. 72-746, Puyallup Tribe v. Department of Game of Washington, also on certiorari to the same court.
DISPOSITION: 80 Wash. 2d 561, 497 P. 2d 171, reversed and remanded.
View References Turn Off Lawyers' Edition Display
SUMMARY: State agencies instituted an action in the Superior Court for Pierce County, Washington, to determine whether state fishing regulations prohibiting net fishing for certain species of fish could be applied to commercial fishing by Puyallup Indians who, under a federal treaty, had the right to take fish at all accustomed places in common with all citizens. The United States Supreme Court, in earlier proceedings in the case, held that while commercial net fishing by the Indians was protected by the treaty, nevertheless the treaty did not preclude the state from making reasonable, necessary, and nondiscriminatory regulations affecting the manner of the Indians' fishing (391 US 392, 20 L Ed 2d 689, 88 S Ct 1725). Thereafter, the case was remanded to the state courts to determine whether the particular regulations involved constituted reasonable and necessary conservation measures, and ultimately the Supreme Court of Washington upheld regulations which prohibited all net fishing, and which allowed only hook-and-line sports fishing, for steelhead trout (80 Wash 2d 561, 497 P2d 171).
On certiorari, the United States Supreme Court reversed and remanded. In an opinion by Douglas, J., expressing the unanimous views of the court, it was held that (1) the regulations improperly discriminated against the Indians, and could not stand as reasonable conservation measures, since the regulations, in effect, granted the entire steelhead run in a certain river to hook-and-line sports fishing which was entirely pre-empted by non- Indians, and (2) to be valid, the regulations must fairly apportion the number of fish that could be caught between Indian net fishing and non- Indian sports fishing, so as to accommodate both the rights of Indians under the treaty and the rights of other people.
White, J., joined by Burger, Ch. J., and Stewart, J., concurred, stating that although consistently with the treaty, commercial fishing by the Indians could not be totally forbidden in order to permit sports fishing in the usual volume, nevertheless the Indians' treaty rights extended only to the natural run of steelhead, and the state was not obligated to subsidize the Indian fishery with planted fish paid for by sports fishermen, and could impose substantial, but fair limits on the Indian commercial fishery.
LEXIS HEADNOTES - Classified to U.S. Digest Lawyers' Edition:
state regulation -- rights of Indians --
Headnote: [1]
State fishing regulations which prohibit all net fishing for steelhead trout, and which allow only hook-and-line fishing, improperly discriminate against Puyallup Indians whose right to engage in commercial net fishing in the state is protected under a treaty (10 Stat 1132) giving them the right to take fish at all accustomed places in common with all citizens, and such regulations cannot stand as reasonable conservation measures, where the regulations, in effect, grant the entire steelhead run in a certain river to hook-and-line sports fishing, entirely pre-empted by non-Indians; although the state's police power is adequate to prevent extinction of steelhead trout and although the treaty does not give the Indians a federal right to pursue the very last fish, nevertheless the number of steelheads that may be caught without exceeding the limits needed for conservation purposes must be fairly apportioned between Indian net fishing and non-Indian sports fishing, so as to accommodate both the rights of Indians under the treaty and the rights of other people.
control of fishing rights --
Headnote: [2]
Fishing rights can be controlled by the need to conserve a species.
SYLLABUS: Commercial net fishing by Puyallup Indians, for which the Indians have treaty protection, Puyallup Tribe v. Dept. of Game, 391 U.S. 392, forecloses the bar against net fishing of steelhead trout imposed by Washington State Game Department's regulation, which discriminates against the Puyallups, and as long as steelhead fishing is permitted, the regulation must achieve an accommodation between the Puyallups' net-fishing rights and the rights of sports fishermen. Pp. 45-49.
COUNSEL: Joseph L. Coniff, Jr., Assistant Attorney General of Washington, argued the cause for petitioner in No. 72-481 and for respondent in No. 72-746. With him on the brief was Slade Gorton, Attorney General.
Harry R. Sachse argued the cause for respondents in No. 72-481 and for petitioner in No. 72-746. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Griswold, Assistant Attorney General Johnson, Deputy Solicitor General Wallace, Edmund B. Clark, and Glen R. Goodsell. +
+ Charles A. Hobbs filed a brief for the National Congress of American Indians, Inc., et al. as amici curiae urging reversal in No. 72-746. Briefs of amici curiae in both cases were filed by James B. Hovis for the Confederated Bands and Tribes of the Yakima Indian Nation, and by David H. Getches for Ramona C. Bennett et al. [***2]
JUDGES: Douglas, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court. White, J., filed a concurring opinion, in which Burger, C. J., and Stewart, J., joined, post, p. 49.
OPINION: [*45] [**331] MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS delivered the opinion of the Court.
In 1963 the Department of Game and the Department of Fisheries of the State of Washington brought this action against the Puyallup Tribe and some of its members, claiming they were subject to the State's laws that prohibited net fishing at their usual and accustomed places and seeking to enjoin them from violating the State's fishing regulations. [**332] The Supreme Court of the State held that the tribe had protected fishing rights under the Treaty of Medicine Creek and that a member who was fishing at a usual and accustomed fishing place of the tribe may not be restrained or enjoined from doing so unless he is violating a state statute or regulation "which has been established to be reasonable and necessary for the conservation of the fishery." 70 Wash. 2d 245, 262, 422 P. 2d 754, 764.
On review of that decision we held that, as provided in the Treaty of Medicine Creek, the "'right of taking fish, [***3] at all usual and accustomed grounds and stations [which] is . . . secured to said Indians, in common with all citizens of the Territory'" extends to off-reservation fishing but that "the manner of fishing, the size of the take, the restriction of commercial fishing, and the like may be regulated by the State in the interest of conservation, provided the regulation meets appropriate standards and does not discriminate against the Indians." 391 U.S. 392, 395, 398. We found the state court decision had not clearly resolved the question whether barring the "use of set nets in fresh water streams or at their mouths" by all, including Indians, and allowing fishing only by hook and line in these areas was a reasonable and necessary conservation measure. The case was remanded for determination of that question and also "the issue of equal protection implicit in the phrase 'in common with'" as used in the Treaty. Id., at 400, 403.
[*46] In Washington the Department of Fisheries deals with salmon fishing, while steelhead trout are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Game. On our remand the Department of Fisheries changed its regulation to [***4] allow Indian net fishing for salmon in the Puyallup River (but not in the bay or in the spawning areas of the river). The Department of Game, however, continued its total prohibition of net fishing for steelhead trout. The Supreme Court of Washington upheld the regulations imposed by the Department of Fisheries which, as noted, were applicable to salmon; and no party has brought that ruling back here for review. The sole question tendered in the present cases concerns the regulations of the Department of Game concerning steelhead trout. We granted the petitions for certiorari. 410 U.S. 981.
The Supreme Court of Washington, while upholding the regulations of the Department of Game prohibiting fishing by net for steelhead in 1970, 80 Wash. 2d 561, 497 P. 2d 171, held (1) that new fishing regulations for the Tribe must be made each year, supported by "facts and data that show the regulation is necessary for the conservation" of the steelhead, id., at 576, 497 P. 2d, at 180; (2) that the prohibition of net fishing for steelhead was proper because "the catch of the steelhead sports fishery alone [***5] in the Puyallup River leaves no more than a sufficient number of steelhead for escapement necessary for the conservation of the steelhead fishery in that river." Id., at 573, 497 P. 2d, at 178-179. [1]
The ban on all net fishing in the Puyallup River for steelhead n1 grants, in effect, the entire run to the sports [*47] fishermen. Whether that amounts to discrimination under the Treaty is the central question in these cases.

We know from the record and oral argument that the present run of steelhead trout is made possible by the planting of young steelhead trout called smolt and that the planting program is financed in large part by the license fees paid by the sports fishermen. The Washington Supreme Court said:
"Mr. Clifford J. Millenbac[h], Chief of the [***6] Fisheries Management Division of the Department of Game, testified that the run of steelhead in the Puyallup [**333] River drainage is between 16,000 and 18,000 fish annually; that approximately 5,000 to 6,000 are native run which is the maximum the Puyallup system will produce even if undisturbed; that approximately 10,000 are produced by the annual hatchery plant of 100,000 smolt; that smolt, small steelhead from 6 to 9 inches in length, are released in April, and make their way to the sea about the first of August; that during this time all fishing is closed to permit their escapement; that the entire cost of the hatchery smolt plant, exclusive of some federal funds, is financed from license fees paid by sports fishermen. The record further shows that 61 per cent of the entire sports catch on the river is from hatchery-planted steelhead; that the catch of steelhead by the sports fishery, as determined from 'card count' received from the licensed sports fishermen, is around 12,000 to 14,000 annually; n2 that the escapement required for adequate hatchery needs and spawning is 25 per cent to 50 per cent of the run; that the steelhead fishery cannot therefore [*48] withstand [***7] a commercial fishery on the Puyallup River." Id., at 572, 497 P. 2d, at 178.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Footnotes- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
n2 The Washington Supreme Court noted "that substantially all the steelhead fishery occurs after their entrance into the respective rivers to which they return." 80 Wash. 2d, at 575, 497 P. 2d, at 180.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -End Footnotes- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
At oral argument counsel for the Department of Game represented that the catch of steelhead that were developed from the hatchery program was in one year 60% of the total run and in another 80%. And he stated that approximately 80% of the cost of that program was financed by the license fees of sports fishermen. Whether that issue will emerge in this ongoing litigation as a basis for allocating the catch between the two groups, we do not know. We mention it only to reserve decision on it.
At issue presently is the problem of accommodating net fishing by the Puyallups with conservation needs of the river. Our prior decision recognized that net fishing by these Indians [***8] for commercial purposes was covered by the Treaty. 391 U.S., at 398-399. We said that "the manner of fishing, the size of the take, the restriction of commercial fishing, and the like may be regulated by the State in the interest of conservation, provided the regulation . . . does not discriminate against the Indians." Id., at 398. There is discrimination here because all Indian net fishing is barred and only hook-and-line fishing entirely pre-empted by non-Indians, is allowed.
Only an expert could fairly estimate what degree of net fishing plus fishing by hook and line would allow the escapement of fish necessary for perpetuation of the species. If hook-and-line fishermen now catch all the steelhead which can be caught within the limits needed for escapement, then that number must in some manner be fairly apportioned between Indian net fishing and non-Indian sports fishing so far as that particular species is concerned. What formula should be employed is not for us to propose. There are many variables -- the number of nets, the number of steelhead that can be caught with [*49] nets, the places where nets can be located, the length of [***9] the net season, the frequency during the season when nets may be used. On the other side are the number of hook-and-line licenses that are issuable, the limits of the catch of each sports fisherman, the duration of the season for sports fishing, and the like.
The aim is to accommodate the rights of Indians under the Treaty and the rights of other people. [2]
We do not imply that these fishing rights persist down to the very [**334] last steelhead in the river. Rights can be controlled by the need to conserve a species; and the time may come when the life of a steelhead is so precarious in a particular stream that all fishing should be banned until the species regains assurance of survival. The police power of the State is adequate to prevent the steelhead from following the fate of the passenger pigeon; and the Treaty does not give the Indians a federal right to pursue the last living steelhead until it enters their nets.
We reverse the judgment below insofar as it treats the steelhead problem and remand the cases for proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
So ordered.
CONCUR: MR. JUSTICE WHITE, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE and MR. JUSTICE STEWART join, concurring.
I [***10] agree that, consistently with the Treaty, commercial fishing by Indians cannot be totally forbidden in order to permit sports fishing in the usual volume. On the other hand, the Treaty does not obligate the State of Washington to subsidize the Indian fishery with planted fish paid for by sports fishermen. The opinion below, as I understand it, indicates that the river, left to its own devices, would have an annual run of 5,000 or 6,000 steelhead. It is only to this run that Indian Treaty rights [*50] extend. Moreover, if there were no sports fishing and no state-planted steelhead, and if the State, as the Court said it could when this case was here before, may restrict commercial fishing in the interest of conservation, the Indian fishery cannot take so many fish that the natural run would suffer progressive depletion. Because the Court's opinion appears to leave room for this approach and for substantial, but fair, limits on the Indian commercial fishery, I am content to concur.

Anyone else think the $3 spread between LINE and LNCO is getting excessive? At some point why not just deal with the tax headache and take the higher return. Also it reduces potential losses in case this ends badly.
Would some one please explain the tax hassle of ownning Line in an IRA.....
I've received less than $1000 per year in distributions each year from LINE and others.
Any explaination would be welcomed
there will be no tax hassle at all owning LINE,an mlp,in an ira.in your case,expect little or no ubti to be generated.most likely a negative ubti.feel free to buy,sell.etc.enjoy.you will pay tax on what you may take out of the ira.ed
I think the are limits on distributions that are tax free. I also think you are under that limit.
I think I have the answer for the otherwise unexplainable spread. LINE is heavily owned by retail investors who are spooked by everything going on and are selling and not buying until things settle down. LNCO, by comparison, is heavily owned by institutions who probably are better informed as to what is really going on and seem to have supported the stock price of LNCO. If I'm right, this should be very bullish for LINE since the most informed investors continue to support the company using their stock of choice. GLTA
I believe the spread this morning is $3.76. Seems excessive to me as well. There must be other factors at work here such as short positions and availability of stock to short. Just a guess. GLTA
Sentiment: Buy
The fact that you can't short LNCO (I tried), is causing a dislocation in the LINE and LNCO stock prices and option market. If you look at the November at-the-money options for LINE and LNCO you can see that LINE puts and calls trade at a differential about equal to the distribution over that time (normal), but LNCO puts trade at a premium to the calls. If you could short LNCO, one could short the stock, sell the put, buy the call, pay the distribution and still end up with free money with no downside risk. This is a hugh flag that LNCO is overpriced compared to LINE. It only trades at this premium over LINE because it can't be shorted. Otherwise the arbitrators would make the trade I just listed and bring the price down to eliminate the option premium dislocation. Anyone think I'm missing something?
There are plenty of people who have the vast majority of their investable money in retirement accounts. I know there are those who argue it is not too negative to hold MLP inside an IRA, but I think to many it is just not worth the potential tax hassle down the road.
There are also plenty of people who have lots of money in both tax and retirement accounts but who still choose not to own MLP because of the tax hassle. You have a point for those people, a $3.50 spread makes owning LINE over LNCO a no brainer to me.
You hit the nail on the head.
I just puchased LNCO form my IRA, vs LINE, I did not want the headache.
No tax hassle with MLPs at all. Leaving the shares to the kids .....
You just described me to a T rick.
!099 for me even in my IRA.

Rough start hurts Fort LeBoeuf in PIAA softball title-game loss
STATE COLLEGE -- The Fort LeBoeuf softball team's motto for the 2013 season was "Dig Deep."
Unfortunately for the Bison, the first-inning hole they dug for themselves in the PIAA Class AAA final against Valley View on Friday proved too tough to escape.
Two walks and two hit batsmen by pitcher Amanda Krolczyk, plus a fielding error by shortstop Allania Banta, helped the Cougars score four runs without the benefit of a hit. The Bison calmed down after that inning, but Valley View pitcher Gina Chieffallo kept them at bay the rest of the way. The right-hander, bound for Brown University, blanked the District 10 champions on five hits en route to a 5-0 victory at Penn State University's Nittany Lion Softball Park.
"I honestly can't tell you what happened in the first (inning)," said Krolczyk, who only allowed the opposition two runs in her previous five postseason games. "It definitely wasn't Bison softball, that's for sure."
The loss left LeBoeuf (20-5) as silver medalists in the team's first-ever appearance in a state final.
Had the Bison won, they would have become the first PIAA school of any kind to win girls volleyball and softball titles in the same academic year.
"I'm still so proud of these kids," LeBoeuf coach Brian Kirsch said. "They made you want to come to practice. They earned the right to be here, they deserved to be here and I couldn't be more proud of them."
The Class AAA championship game started 83 minutes later than its original 5:30 p.m. first pitch because the PIAA's Class AAAA final between Canon-McMillan and Neshaminy took 12 innings to decide.
That bumped the starting times back for the next two games, with LeBoeuf and Valley View (20-0) not getting under way until shadows were creeping across the infield.
When that game finally did start, LeBoeuf appeared tense before a raucous Valley View crowd. Krolczyk walked the Cougars' first two batters and also plunked Anna McElroy with the bases loaded to force in their first run. Banta's ensuing fielding error made it 2-0.
Blayse Cholish lined out to center on her second at-bat of an inning in which Valley View sent 10 to the plate.
"I was smiling from ear to ear," said Chieffallo, who had a four-run cushion before she threw her first pitch. "It was great, especially watching my teammates and their reactions. They were so excited and happy."
As for Kirsch, he was puzzled over LeBoeuf's uncharacteristic start.
"I don't know how to answer that," he said. "I don't know if they were tense. They were loose before the game."
The Bison recovered enough to have two scoring chances against Chieffallo, who walked two and struck out 11. They had runners at second and third with one out in the bottom of the second, but both were stranded when Heather Oldach grounded out to third and Chieffallo struck out Julie Pace after the left fielder fouled off several full-count pitches.
LeBoeuf's other scoring bid came in the bottom of the sixth, when it loaded the bases with one out. But Chieffallo got a called strike three against Julia Luke and Kelly Brown grounded out to short.
"We never got the timely hit," Kirsch said, "and that made things more difficult."
Valley View finished with six hits after recording none in its five-run first. The biggest was Clare Sebastianelli's RBI triple to the wall in right center, a drive that brought home Cholish with the Cougars' final run in the sixth.
Cholish scored twice for Valley View, which lost the 2012 PIAA AAA final when Big Spring scored twice in the top of the seventh for a 2-1 victory.
Catcher Kelsey Kuzma singled twice for two of LeBoeuf's five hits. Center fielder Alex Carroll also reached twice when she was hit by a Chieffallo pitch and walked.

1. Scotlandville (30-1)
Previous ranking: 1
Worth noting: The Hornets have locked up a District 4-5A championship and the top seed in the Class 5A postseason, but the chip remains on the players' shoulders, much to Coach Carlos Sample's excitement. Ezekiel Valshawn Brown and Vincent Sanders have played a lot of basketball together, including roster spots on Scotlandville's past two state championship teams, but the senior guards and their many talented teammates are eager to leave their own legacy now that the program's reins are in their hands.
2. University Lab (24-7)
Previous ranking: 2
Worth noting: What are we supposed to do here? Teams in districts such as 7-3A and 5-5A haven't been able to separate themselves in their own standings, let alone these area rankings when everyone gets thrown together. The Cubs suffered as recent a loss as anyone Tuesday at West Feliciana, but also routed the Saints at home on National Signing Day and split with Port Allen and Parkview Baptist. One could make the argument point guard Skylar Mays and big man Wayde Sims are both among Baton Rouge's top five, or at least top 10, players, so consider that the edge in this coin flip of more than a dozen teams.
3. Port Allen (19-8)
Previous ranking: 3
Worth noting: Speaking of dynamic duos in the Baton Rouge area, point guard Nick Parker and big man Ishmael Lane have led the Pelicans to inarguably one of the best seasons of any local team. Port Allen and U-High would likely split a series of 10 or 20 games right down the middle, but the Cubs' more recent win after missing forward D.J. White in the teams' first meeting gives them the slightest of edges, while neither Parkview Baptist's or West Feliciana's nondistrict resume did quite enough to put the Eagles or Saints ahead of the District 5-5A logjam as Port Allen's and U-High's did.
4. East Ascension (21-9)
Previous ranking: off the bench
Worth ranking: Might as well round this top five out with the two teams currently leading the crazy District 5-5A standings, which could end in a five-way tie if all three home teams win Friday. The Spartans are deadly when their shots are falling and have won six league games by an average of 15.8 points per contest, while suffering their three losses by an average of 1.3 points. East Ascension also beat McKinley in the teams' more recent meeting.
5. McKinley (22-8)
Previous ranking: 4
Worth noting: The Panthers lost their most recent matchup with East Ascension, one of three District 5-5A losses by an average of 6.3 points, while their six wins have come by an average of 12.2 points. Again, this situation is more of a coin flip than anywhere near a scientific process. The two teams would likely split a large series of games pretty evenly.
Off the bench:
Small schools such as Christian Life (17-8) and Madison Prep (20-8) in Class 1A and Dunham (26-4) in Class 2A may be knocking on the door here as hard as any other teams in the area … All that despite the fact that Catholic (17-13), Dutchtown (23-6) and Woodlawn (11-17) remain just a game back of East Ascension and McKinley in District 5-5A and the winner of Parkview Baptist (15-10) and West Feliciana (18-8) will likely end the 7-3A race tied with Port Allen and University Lab … Plaquemine (19-10) continues to fly under the radar despite sweeping District 6-4A rivals St. Michael (23-7) and Tara (21-9) … Donaldsonville (20-9), while in a more bayou parishes-based district this year, joins Parkview Baptist, Port Allen, University Lab and West Feliciana among the top teams in Class 3A as a whole.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858)
'Kiga Hot Springs'
From the series 'Tour of the Seven Hot Springs Resorts in Hakone'
About 1850 Uchiwa-e (fan print), aizuri-e (blue-printed pictures), fûkei-ga (landscape print)
Aiban size
Signature: Hirogshige ga
Publisher: Ibaya Senzaburô
Censorship seals: Kinugasa and Murata
Museum no. E.12066-1886
This is an example of an uchiwa-e, a print designed to decorate a fan. The fan-shaped image was printed on a regular aiban-size sheet, and later cut out.
Hakone was already popular in the Edo period as a sightseeing and a hot spring resort.
Hiroshige was one of the great artists who worked in the fûkei-ga (landscape print) genre. His romantic conception of landscape is conveyed in the harmonious compositions of his prints.
This work is printed in blue alone, except for the red panels containing a series title and place names. Blue appears to have been favoured for fan prints, as it conveys a feeling of coolness.
Examples whereby the designs are executed almost exclusively in different tones of blue are known as aizuri-e or 'blue-printed pictures'. This predominant pigment is either indigo or bero-ai (Prussian blue). Prints in which bero-ai predominates are often called bero aizuri-e (Prussian blue printed pictures). The extensive use of bero-ai (Prussian blue) seen in landscape prints by Hiroshige and other artists suggests that its introduction in the 1820s was an important stimulus to the development of the landscape print.
This print can be found in Prints and Drawings Study Room box TOPIC JP1

A 20-year-old man's bold way of scamming people to get money for gasoline has landed him in court facing criminal charges.
Police in Norton Shores and North Muskegon say Bradley John Knash posed as a high school student and went door-to-door asking for donations for a school trip.
Homeowners should be wary of individuals who come to the door asking for money, said Norton Shores Detective Lt. Timothy LaVigne.
Knash, of 707 Cambridge, was arraigned Friday afternoon before 60th District Judge Michael J. Nolan on three charges of false pretenses under $200. The offense is a 93-day misdemeanor.
North Muskegon Police Chief Thomas Korabik said Knash went to three different homes on Dec. 6 and obtained a total of $17.
"He stated he was a student at North Muskegon High School and was going on a field trip to Kalamazoo," Korabik said.
An officer located him after police were called about a suspicious person. "He admitted doing it and said he needed money for gas," Korabik said. Knash was released and a misdemeanor warrant request was made.
Apparently not getting the message, Knash this week went door-to-door in Norton Shores asking for money, according to police.
On Wednesday, police started getting calls about a suspicious person, possibly "casing" houses for break-ins.
The suspicious person turned out to be Knash, LaVigne said.
LaVigne said Knash went to several houses on the west end of the city posing as a Mona Shores High School student, asking for donations for a school trip.
"He'd collected about $35 from people," LaVigne said.
Norton Shores police got a vehicle description and then a name with the help of North Muskegon police. Knash was stopped by police Thursday as he drove through a Norton Shores neighborhood. He was arrested and lodged at the Muskegon County Jail.
Knash told police he was "collecting money just to put gas in his car as well as survive day-to-day," LaVigne said. "He planned to pay for Christmans with money he was collecting."
He has a pregnant girlfriend and was driving her mother's car, the detective said.
Knash is actually an adult education student in a school district other than Mona Shores or North Muskegon, according to police.
He is charged with getting money from residences on Ruddiman and Casenelli avenues in North Muskegon and with obtaining money from East Glen Court and Norlock Street in Norton Shores.
A personal recognizance bond totaling $3,000 was set and pre-trial hearings in all the cases were set for Jan. 3.
