The CSKT Compact Failed the 2015 Legislative Session

The only conclusion that can be drawn from the 2015 Montana legislative session is that despite changing all the rules in their favor, the compact failed in both houses of the legislature because it could not muster the 2/3 constitutionally-required vote.
The rules changes, orchestrated by Representative Dan Soloman in cahoots with democrat republican Bruce Tutvedt and minority leader Chuck Hunter, were aimed at overcoming the "60-vote problem"- that is, the public committee hearing process where huge negatives existed for the CSKT Compact just as in 2013. Hence the "silver bullet" rule.
But because the "silver bullet" rule left in tact the required 2/3 vote to overcome a 'do not pass' or 'adverse committee report' finding, that silver bullet rule change had to be changed again and it was, by a simple house majority vote, as initiated by Representative Frank Garner (R-Kalispell) in relation to the medicaid bill. This move was supported by supposedly-agenda-free legislative services staff, the democrats and of course the governor knew that both of his initiatives, Medicaid and the Compact, were in public disfavor.
However, House procedural rule changes cannot be used to overcome constitutional requirements. According to Article II Section 18 of Montana's constitution, the state of Montana shall have no immunity from suit to persons or property unless specified by 2/3 vote of each House. The Compact limits the state's immunity from suit in the case of costs, damages, or attorney's fees. So the 2015 CSKT Compact failed in both houses (Senate 31-19, House 53-47).
The Governor nevertheless signed the "bill" into "law" last week, with Sponsor Vincent and the Tribe looking on. Well the president of the United States could have been there and it still didn't make SB 262 "law" or capable of being handed off to the U.S. Congress. It is a picture worth a thousand words, the governor, the sponsor, and the Tribe signing a bill that wasn't even lawfully passed. That will be priceless when election time rolls around again. But maybe that's all the payoff required.
The Governor, the Attorney General, and the full legislature still have some public and court room explaining to do. How about explaining to the court why the plain language of the Compact Bill, page 46, that limits the state's immunity from suit from the immediate property takings and damages the occur from the immediate implementation of portions of the Compact and why that should not be subject to the approval of 2/3 of each house as stated in Article II of the Montana Constitution:
Section 18. State subject to suit. The state, counties, cities, towns and all other local governmental entities shall have no immunity from suit for injury to a person or property, except as may be specifically provided by law by a 2/3 vote of each house of the legislature.
In the meantime, the CSKT Compact/SB 262 did not pass the 2015 legislature.
There is much underway and this blog is optimistic about on-going and other planned efforts needed to enjoin any aspect of the Compact from being implemented as called for in the Bill title ('immediate effective date') and two other portions of the Compact bill. Of course, if the Constitution is upheld by the judiciary, the vote was invalid and there is no compact, however, it is better to be ready in case some other avenue is chosen to move the compact forward. Beyond this immediate work, the further effort would be to focus on elements of the compact using multiple grounds and in multiple forums.
We are sure that others are already thinking about a way forward should the Compact ever make it to Congress focusing on provisions of federal law required of federal agencies. And still other efforts seem to be focusing on elected officials. Certainly Montana voters have been injured by the actions of state legislators, the governor and attorney general.
Stay tuned, spread the word!
How to Subvert House Rules and the Montana Constitution in Under 40 minutes

Please reference video excerpts from the Montana legislative session to show exactly how the Democrats and RINO's subverted the legislative process in order to pass SB405 Buttrey Care and SB262 the Chas Vincent Water Compact.
Both bills served to advance Steve Bullock's agenda. Time will tell what promises were made, and which might be broken.
For the Record: They Care Not What They Do

We would like to be begin this article by saying to those supporters of the compact who are reading, WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY.
Having been given the gift in 2013 of two more years to study and research the details of the water compact as well as historical documents, court records, and other information, we can say for certain that the more you look at it, the worse it is.
There is no victory for proponents, unless you call victory making a mockery out of the legislative process in order to ram an illegal and unconstitutional document through the legislature, very likely in an unconstitutional manner.
It is still difficult to wrap one's mind around the fact that the "leadership" of the state of Montana willingly took western Montanans off the compact cliff by putting all of their political capital and state resources behind its passage.
But not to worry, Attorney General Fox looked at the compact and gave it his blessing and all important stamp of approval. Governor Bullock has repeatedly called it a" fair agreement", ignoring the details of the compact. We also know that these men actively participated in placing pressure on legislators to secure its questionable passage in the legislature.
Make no mistake. The governor and the attorney general of the state of Montana knew exactly what they were doing. They also are fully aware of the huge burden they have placed upon the shoulders of citizens in the most economically depressed areas of Montana.
The reality of this water compact is simple. It gives the Federal Government and the CSKT control over the waters of western Montana. As we have always maintained and still do, the state of Montana ceded to the CSKT and Feds their wildest dreams come true, and then created a narrative that it "protects" all existing uses except for irrigation in order to ratify the compact in the legislature.
Protects water users from what? The fact that the state gave away all of their water?
Even with a multimillion dollar media blitz funded with taxpayer dollars, a cadre of lobbyists and all kinds of good old boy arm twisting and prodding, enough legislators were awakened and concerned to make it a very close vote. But pass it they did. Perhaps.
It cannot go unnoticed that many of Montana's elected officials willingly participated in the railroading of this compact through they system, and that they cared not how it was accomplished.
Last year the CSKT tribal minutes gave us the first heads up concerning how this would all play out in the legislature. This came to light through the ego and arrogance of one senator Bruce Tudvedt who spilled the beans to the tribe last year, and his words were duly noted in the tribal council minutes dated May 22, 2014:
Sandy Welch and Bruce Tutvedt, Republican Senator from Senate District 3; discussed the PAC – Republicans for Responsible Government. They thanked the tribal council for providing funding to cover some of the costs of the upcoming campaign. Senator Tutvedt stated for the record, I've written in the newspaper that I'm for the water compact. I am solidly one of the largest irrigators in Flathead County so I have skin in the game just like you do. If you've read the newspaper state-wide, I've been in the Western Montana Stock Growers, with people complaining about me supporting the compact so I've been throughout the state. I'm an AGR. We have a core commitment of people. I worked with Senator Llew Jones when we were working and worked on a compromise to try to get some money to show our good faith. I know Llew was instrumental in getting the Blackfoot compact. I have a core team that's ready to go and Dan Salomon is working with some core members too. There is a true group of people that want to do the right thing because it's the right reasons. This is a good agreement. I think you've negotiated robustly but fairly. And if my guys win we're going to bring the compact in early in the session and just put it through. We have a plan in place how to fix that 60 vote problem in the house. Dan has that plan figured out. So there is a plan going on. This is an issue that will even affect how the key leadership in the house will play out. So yes we are committed and yes, it's going to happen. So thank you."

Our "Representative" Said What?
Posted by icthe4est in (Ir)responsible Republicans, Accountability, Compact Commission, Dan Salomon, Flathead Joint Board of Control, Legislature, politics, propaganda, Threats, useful idiots, Water Right Ownership
At the CSKT Water Compact hearing on Saturday, Representative Dan Salomon testified in support of the water compact. No surprises there. It has been clear for more than three years that he bought into the compact hook, line and sinker.
Speaking of hook, line and sinker, the Flathead Beacon attributed this quote to him from that hearing:
"If this doesn't go through, buy a fishing pole because you're not going to be irrigating in August," Republican Rep. Daniel Salomon said in support of the measure.
Did our local representative, and compact commission member threaten 2,500 irrigators on the FLATHEAD IRRIGATION PROJECT that if they don't allow the state to give bare legal title for their project water rights to the tribe and accept a 50-70% reduction of their water, that they will get NO WATER?

UPDATE: CSKT Accused of Unethical Lobbying
Posted by icthe4est in Accountability, Dark Money, Legislature, Lobbying, politics, propaganda, Proposed CSKT Compact, State law, Threats
This article in the Flathead Beacon was just brought to our attention. Note: we looked for the formal complaint on the Commission of Political Practices website, but do not see it out there. Here is a link to a copy of the complaint.
A formal complaint filed with the state Commissioner of Political Practices accuses the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of unfair and unethical lobbying practices by using so-called "dark money" to promote passage of a controversial water rights compact.
The complaint, filed by Jayson Peters, chairman of the Flathead County Republican Central Committee, names CSKT, public affairs firm Mercury LLC, registered lobbyists Mark Baker and Shelby DeMars, and the pro-compact group Farmers and Ranchers for Montana (FARM), which the complaint identifies as a "grassroots lobbying group working on the tribes' behalf.
Montana Commissioner of Political Practices Jonathan Motl said he received the complaint April 3 and will respond to it within five days.
According to Motl, the alleged rules violation falls in a "gray area" surrounding the regulation of grassroots lobbying efforts, which he said deserves further clarification through a rules change.
"We don't have very much clarity in our lobbying rules or definition of what constitutes lobbying in our statute," Motl said. "It's a serious issue, and it's a lot bigger than one principle and one group. It's an issue a substantial number of groups are dealing with and it is one that may need further clarification."
The complaint argues that FARM has "chosen to use dark money and skirt Montana lobbying laws to hide the full amount of funds to lobby the Montana Legislature and other elected officials."
"This is a breach of the public trust and open government," the complaint states.
According to rules governing lobbying in Montana, lobbyists must register with the state if they engage in face-to-face discussion with legislators and disclose the in-kind value, or cash-value, of their contributions.
The same rules don't apply to so-called "grassroots" groups who make contributions that are less quantifiable – for example, by urging constituents in a lawmakers' legislative district to contact the lawmaker and urge him or her to vote a certain way.
"It's still a campaign contribution, but it has been construed as a gray area and in general it is not being reported," Motl said. "So Mr. Peters justifiably believes there is a lot of influence going on with this particular bill that is not happening at the Capitol in Helena but that is clearly influencing whether the bill is going to become law. And his assertion is that it constitutes lobbying."
Motl drew comparisons to recent local efforts by the conservative group Americans for Prosperity-Montana to target Rep. Frank Garner, R-Kalispell, because the freshman lawmaker refused to sign a blanket pledge opposing Medicaid expansion in Montana.
AFP-Montana is a branch of the conservative organization founded by the billionaire Koch brothers, David and Charles, who own Koch Industries, of Wichita, Kansas, a prominent opponent of Medicaid expansion.
Last summer, the group ramped up its presence in Montana, expanding from two to 11 paid staffers, according to the group.
AFP's efforts could also be construed as lobbying, yet they have not disclosed it or registered, Motl said.
"There is more money in politics these days than ever before, and it is certainly an area of legitimate concern to Montanans," Motl said. "So we will have to deal with it. Whether that happens entirely through Mr. Peters' complaint or whether we have to take a look at new rule making I don't yet know."
The compact gives the tribes "in-stream flow" rights to several streams and rivers off the reservation, linked to 1855 treaty rights that say the tribes can fish on traditional areas.
Sen. Chas Vincent, R-Libby, the sponsor of the bill, said people may disagree with the tribes' rights to water off the reservation, but that past court rulings have upheld these rights for other tribes under similar treaties.
Water Compact is Wrong Option for Montanans

Note: Our thanks to Senator Verdell Jackson for this article in today's Daily Interlake.
Like most proponents of the Salish and Kootenai water compact, Rick Hill in his recent letter to the editor used misconceptions and threats to support the compact because there is no legal basis for turning control of water use in Western Montana over to the tribes.
Hill first states that the Hellgate Treaty grants rights to claim water for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes both on and off the Flathead Reservation. The five-page treaty in fact does not mention water or water rights.
With the following language, Article III of the treaty gives, "the right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed places, in common with citizens of the territory." This off-reservation fishing-right language is only found in the treaties in which Gov. Isaac Stevens was involved. The Hellgate and Judith River Treaties are the only "Stevens Treaties" in Montana. No settlement, litigation or case law has been able to stretch this language into an off-reservation water right.
The Salish and Kootenai compact would be the first and if successful the Blackfeet Tribe would likely be next. Their area of hunting and fishing is in the Judith River Treaty and covers about 8 million acres in Eastern Montana, starting at the main divide of the Rocky Mountains and stretching to the Musselshell River. Their compact has not had final approval because it has been withdrawn from congressional consideration at the tribe's request.
Mr. Hill states that there is nothing in the compact that affects property rights. There are thousands of irrigators both on and off the reservation who would disagree with him. Irrigators on the reservation would lose their state-based water rights and receive a water allocation. A study just completed by Barry Dutton, a water expert, shows the compact cuts the water for the irrigation project by at least 50 percent of the historic delivery. Also, off-reservation irrigators in 11 counties can be ordered to stop using water during low river flows via water rights made out to the federal government in trust to the tribes. These irrigators lose property value because of the uncertainty of adequate water.
Most of the rest of Hill's letter deals with the $55 million to be given to the tribes and the threat of thousands of water claims. The irrigation project on the reservation was developed and owned by the federal government. The state of Montana has never had the responsibility to maintain the project and I see no reason the taxpayers in Montana should do it now. That $55 million would go a long ways in defending our state-based water rights against tribal claims.
No tribe has been given off-reservation water rights on their traditional hunting and fishing territory because of the language in their treaties: "The tribes hereby cede, relinquish, and convey to the United States all their right, title, and interest in and to the country occupied or claimed by them."
How does Rick Hill stretch this language into a water right for the Salish and Kootenai or Blackfeet tribes on their subsistence ranges? —Verdell Jackson, Kalispell
Update on Senator Vincent's Town Hall Meeting in Libby
Posted by icthe4est in Legislature, Litigation, Meetings, Montana Water Court, off-reservation water claims, Opinion and Comments, politics, propaganda, Property rights, Proposed CSKT Compact, Public Participation, Reserved Water Rights Compact, Snake River, Threats, Transparency, Videos
Note: our sincerest thanks to former Representative Derek Skees for his comments related to the Vincent meeting held in Helena yesterday evening to explain his support of the CSKT water compact to his constituents.
I had the fortune of participating in the town hall offered by Senator Vincent in Libby Tuesday night. The little theatre was packed with folks, and the majority present that spoke, they did so against the CSKT Compact. The event was videotaped by Mrs. O'Neil and David, so I am sure they will post those soon for your reference. It was not a good night for proponents of the compact, as the vast majority of the crowd was vehemently against it, and brought up great points of its failures.
As my lovely wife pointed out in her comments, the good Senator did a lovely job demonstrating to all of us present that he is an expert dancer, nimbly moving from one seemingly related point to another in a morass of complexity (deftly construed I would suggest to confuse and bewilder the listener to think the good Senator was a master of its understanding) without really answering directly any point brought up. The vast majority of the comments were preceded by personal references such as "I feel", "I know", "I have spent hundreds of hours" and my favorite, "trust me".
This compact has many flaws, and most were pointed out last night, yet the default answer was time and again, that he is protecting us from the "10,000" lawsuit threat voiced by the CSKT. He told us there are many things he doesn't like about the compact, and that it is not perfect…but it's better than being sued by the Indians; Seriously?
I told him about Snake River in Idaho (where 6000 claims were filed and the tribe only won 5) in an attempt to show him the threat was unfounded, yet he told us "the rest of the story"….kind of. He pointed out that on appeal the state lost and settled out of court for over 200 claims. While that is true, it is definitely not the end of the story. Those settled claims were for small stream flows, and had a priority date of 2007. (Note: and the claims are not held in the tribe's name) Idaho did a great job defending its citizens from this taking of water.
I wish I could say the same about Montana.
Senator Vincent, omitting a truth by obfuscation, is still a lie. That is what I heard all night; lies, intimidation, misdirection and the big stick of expensive law suits.
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. – JFK
"I've Read All the Jurisprudence"
Posted by drkate in Accountability, Adjudication, Compact Commission, CSKT, Dark Money, democrats, elected cowards, Federal Government, History, Hoax, jurisdiction, politics, propaganda, Red Herrings, RINO, Threats, Unconstitutional Taking
The non-lawyer Senator claims he has "read all the jurisprudence" related to this water compact, and in it the "Tribes have won everything." Excuse me? Here's the definition for your consideration:
Jurisprudence: The philosophy of law. Jurisprudence implies creating a body of law and methods for interpreting the law, studying the relationships between law and society, and predicting the effects of legal decisions.~Merriam-Webster
The 300 hours that Chas Vincent says he has spent on the Compact would never allow him to have read the compact and "all the jurisprudence", let alone all the case law, which we presume he is actually referring to. Does he honestly claim he can predict the effects and outcome of legal decisions? And as sitting senator representing the state of Montana, shouldn't he be reading up on, well, state law and the Montana and U.S. Constitutions?
There are highly qualified real lawyers, such as those of the Montana Land and Water Alliance, that have more than 100 years experience collectively in water law and Indian law, including 30 years before the United States Supreme Court. And they do an awful lot of reading, still, for even the narrowest of questions that are asked.
Oh wait… the "300-hour Compact Expert" thinks these professionals would be disbarred if they practiced law in Montana. Them's fightin' words. Really? Gee, do you think its because they actually know water law and federal reserved water rights and aren't buying what he and the compact commission are selling?
Mr. Vincent and the Compact Commission, as well as their lackeys, have to discredit the opposition because of the credibility their arguments have brought to the table. After all, "that's the way they do business".
First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win. ~Ghandi
CSKT Compact Passes 3rd Reading in Senate 32-18 Vote Update 31-19
Posted by icthe4est in (Ir)responsible Republicans, Accountability, Legislature, propaganda, Proposed CSKT Compact, so-called Responsible Republicans, Threats, Unconstitutional Taking, useful idiots
Note: Since this post was originally submitted, the legislature website revised the vote tally to show that Senator Vuckovich voted no on the third reading of the water compact bill. Our sincerest thanks to him, he did have the courage to stand up to the pressure.
The water compact bill SB262 passed its third reading in the senate today on a vote of 32-18. The only change from last night's vote on the 2nd reading was Democrat Senator Vuckovich changed his no vote to a yes. Too bad, we were hoping that one democrat senator would have the courage to stand up to the pressure. No such luck, good little soldiers that they are.
As we have stated before, time to take a deep breath and remember that the true battle will be in the House.
Here is the tally of today's vote. Again, please be sure to thank those senators who voted against the compact.:

Fred Kelly Grant on the CSKT Water Compact
Posted by icthe4est in Dark Money, Federal Government, Opinion and Comments, politics, propaganda, Property rights, Proposed CSKT Compact, State law, States Rights
Thanks to our friends at the View from Montana for sharing this great commentary on the CSKT Water Compact by Fred Kelly Grant. Mr. Grant is a well known property rights advocate and attorney from Idaho.
TRIBES SPEND MILLIONS ON HIGH POWERED PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGN ENGINEERED BY AN EXPENSIVE DC LOBBYING AGENCY TO SUPPORT A MONTANA WATER COMPACT BEING HEAVILY OPPOSED BY PRIVATE WATER RIGHT OWNERS.
February 8, 2015—-by Fred Kelly Grant, Chairman of Board and CEO Stand and Fight Club Inc.
Many historically significant battlefields are visited annually in Montana. Today, another historic battle is being fought over water, and the battle field is the Montana statehouse. A water compact between the United States, the state of Montana and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes will award even off reservation water rights to the Tribes. Some opponents of the Compact say that the Tribes will be given the right to direct distribution of water even off reservation. A reading of the convoluted 1600 page compact seems to support their belief.
It would be a big mistake for owners of private water rights outside the state of Montana to overlook the importance of this hotly contested water issue. If successful in their efforts, legislative supporters of the compact will create a pattern that will endanger private rights wherever private, Tribal and federal water interests collide.
Private property owners throughout the state have voiced strong objections to the compact sponsored by a senator who formerly opposed the compact concept. In an email exchange with a constituent, the sponsor explains that after "several hundred hours" of study, he sees the wisdom in negotiating the off-reservation Tribal rights. But so far, I haven't been able to detect significant changes in the compact that would protect private water rights, and there is no explanation by supporters of where those changes are located in the document.
One worry I would have as a Montanan would be the extensive immunity from liability the producers of the compact and the bill to implement it give themselves. I don't believe in 50 years in the business, I have ever seen such an all-out, all inclusive effort by drafters and supporters to give themselves immunity. I would always worry if a proponent of a legislative or administrative act says: "What we are doing is straight legal and constitutional, but if that isn't clear, we want it absolutely clear that we are not responsible for the unconstitutionality and we want it even clearer that we are immune from liability for creating an unconstitutional taking."
Unsatisfied with the sponsor's answer to him, the constituent from Troy Montana made this statement:
Our corporate attorney for several decades has passed away, but I still remember one of his favorite statements that fits many situations – He said every negotiation, no matter what it was in regards to, ended by answering the question of Who Gets What? Since well over 2 million dollars has been spent for advertising to attempt to convince the people to accept this compact, who is paying that and what do they get? Many people of influence have changed their mind after meeting with the tribes or the feds or both, all of which begs the question – Who Gets What?
One thing that is clear here is that we do know that high-power DC lobbying, public relations company, Mercury, is getting $1 million dollars to run the campaign to persuade the legislators to vote "yes" and to persuade the Montana citizenry that everything is kosher about a "yes" vote. And, we know that the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes entered into the contract to pay the million to Mercury. In addition, they have set aside another $1.8 million dollars for other unspecified public events (to be run by Mercury, one wonders?)
That's a lot of money to be changing hands to gain support for a water compact. I have observed many such agreements negotiated through the past two decades, and never have I seen this much money spent for public relations and advertising—-it has been my experience that water compacts, water settlements, water negotiations sell themselves if both private water rights and Tribal rights are protected.
In this case, apparently the proponents are not confident that the compact can be sold on its merits—maybe because the objectors' rights are not protected? Say what? State legislators would not support a compact that did not protect their constituents' rights would they?
So, who is this Mercury company that comes with such a high price?
The Hill, a leading newspaper in DC which carries weight on capital hill, considers Mercury one of the top lobbying firms in DC. (See "Top Lobbyists 2014: Hired Guns", The Hill, October 22, 2014) A review of the partners reveals political heavy-weights that I am surprised to see carrying in the fight over a water issue, unless the compact is critical to political interests other than Tribal.
The political clout at Mercury is wielded in a bi-partisan manner: The partner considered the best of the lobbyists by The Hill, Vin Weber, is republican through and through—a former Representative from Minnesota's second congressional district, member of the Appropriations Committee and member of the republican House leadership; Montanans are represented in the republican leadership of the firm by Denny Rehberg, former member of Congress; Rick Wiley was political director for the Republican National Committee.
But, the Obama priorities are heavily represented in the firm also:
Ashley Walker served as the 2012 Florida State Director for Obama for America, and two years earlier managed grassroots support for the President's priority projects: the Affordable Care Act and Don't Ask Don't Tell; Erin Pelton is a former Spokesperson to the United States Mission to the United Nations and served in senior roles in the Obama administration; many other staff spent prior time in support of Obama projects related to "sustainability".
Mercury's influence is intensified by its being a part of Omnicom Group Inc, self described as "a leading global advertising and marketing communications services company[providing services] to "more than 5,000 clients in more than 100 countries." Omnicom Group reported worldwide revenue of $3,749.6 million dollars for the third quarter of 2014 and revenue in the United States of $1,996.3 million dollars for the same quarter.
It may come as a surprise to outsiders that proponents of the compact have called on such expensive, high-flying, talent who boast of their "innate ability to leverage the diverse expertise of our global networks for the benefit of our clients." (Website of Omnicom Group) The appropriateness of the campaign being waged has been pointedly challenged by Montanans who oppose the compact and do not have anywhere near the funds needed to combat high-powered pr firms such as Mercury and Omnicom Group.
A former member of the Montana legislature, well respected by private property supporters because of commitment to protection of constituents' property rights, the high price Mercury advertising program makes "dubious assertions" in behalf of its frontispiece Farmers and Ranchers for Montana (FARM). Pointing to an editorial, perhaps penned by Mercury, the legislator said the purpose of the ad campaign appeared to be to "educate" Montanans about the Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribes". (A copy of the opinion, published in the Great Falls Tribune follows) I have now heard recordings of two of the commercials and I agree that they contain nothing of educational substance as to why the compact is good for all of Montana.
Rather, the ads proclaim that farmers, ranchers, sportsmen, republicans, democrats, the Tribes, irrigators all support the compact and the bill that will implement it. One only needs peruse the email strings to conclude that an inference that a majority of all these groups support the compact is simply not true—–in fact, is pretty close to a factual falsehood. The implication that is intended is purely a falsehood.
Radio ads making the claims do not identify who is paying for them. Prior to public revelation of Mercury's high priced contract with the Tribes, a local government official called a radio station and inquired as to who was paying for what appeared to be false advertising. The station manager said he was prohibited from revealing the identity of the person or organization providing the ads to the station, and that the station had no obligation to assure that ads conveyed truthful information. That's an interesting interpretation of the FCC's ethical guidelines for commercial radio stations. But, no more interesting than the entire high priced pr campaign.
Without a scientific poll, I don't believe that even a slight majority of farmers, ranchers, sportsmen and irrigators support the compact—and I have serious doubts that any really conservative republican would support the compact. After reading through the compact, I doubt that any true conservative republican could even be sure that private water rights already proved up by beneficial use will be protected by the compact.
In fact, after reading the attempts by proponents to explain the compact, it seems clear to me that republicans in the Montana Senate are being asked to pass the bill to implement the tome that is the compact "in order to see what it means and what is in it." Can anyone say "the Affordable Care Act a/k/a Obamacare"?
Unlike the Mercury ads, and unlike the convoluted explanations of the compact by supporters, a long term member of the legislature has provided an articulate opposition to the compact and bill. The legislature has long been recognized as an expert on water law and the Montana Constitution. A copy of the letter detailing the flaws in the compact follows.
The primary sponsor of the compact and bill has committed to provide to opponents a "risk analysis" that will demonstrate how the compact protects private water rights. I am curious as to what this "risk analysis" will contain, since the sponsor has assured constituents in the county of Lincoln that they are "protected". If in fact there is no danger to private water rights in off reservation lands, why would one county need protection?
One statement by supporters claims that passage of the bill implementing the compact will result in less litigation by the Tribes seeking water rights. But, I see no spell-out of how that is practical or even possible. The series of Indian water rights lawsuits since Winters v. United States, involve the extent to which Indian tribes and individuals can exert water rights in every body of water that runs into, over or under, or borders a reservation. How will this compact or any compact short of just awarding Tribes water rights wherever they want them at the expense of ancient private water rights assure there will be less litigation over water? In short, it cannot do so. If the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have fishing rights reserved off the reservation, they can always argue that they need more water, even to the point of minimum stream flow, to provide sufficient support for their fishing. If this compact protects against that, perhaps someone will be good enough to point out where.
The opponents seem to be on point. I will be interested to see whether the primary sponsor comes forward with answers to the detailed criticisms in the letter which follows. Particularly, I will be interested to see whether he comes forward with answers prior to the committee hearing currently set for February 16, 2015.
Hold on for the ride on this political rollercoaster, and stay tuned right here for developments. What happens in Montana can easily become the format for your private property rights.
Following is a letter from a former legislator to supporters of the compact:
[The compact] is unconstitutional! It seeks to overturn Article IX, Section 3 of the Montana Constitution and it pits the machinations of the Reserved Water Rights Commission on behalf of the tribes and the federal government against the long held tenets of Montana water law and the Montana Water Court. So it becomes a States' Rights Issue.
It is prejudicial in that it holds tribal and non-tribal water users to different standards. Tribal water use is set at a far higher standard than all other water right holders, as well as Irrigation Districts throughout the state.
Not one of the six previously negotiated compacts grants a tribal entity authority over non-reservation water. What is to preclude any, or all, of them from seeking the same consideration? What is to preclude the Salish/Kootenai from bringing suit at a later date to seek more authority,
e.g. the Crow's action. The Compact erodes the authority of the Water Court and allows a reservation entity the ability to oversee water issues and property rights both on and off the reservation—a board, the members of which, are required to have no knowledge of water law. There is no way to justify compromising the authority of Montana's Water Court and granting oversight of Western Montana water to enrich this tribal corporation.
The entire adjudication process loses its value if the tribes are exempted from compliance. Millions have been spent to comply with the adjudication mandates to establish how much Montana water is being put to a beneficial use, where, and by
whom. The Salish/Kootenai have not quantified water they are claiming to have put to a beneficial use, rather resorting to some previously unrecognized modeling system so even Montana's long recognized "first in time, first in right" doctrine loses its value!
How are we to understand the allocation of greater volumes of water allocated to tribal members than to non-indians? How does that square with equal treatment under the law?
"Negotiated" becomes a misnomer when applied to this compact. What have the Salish/Kootenai offered in return for unlimited access and control of our Western Montana water resources? They remind me of an attorney negotiating for the Crow when asked what they wished to put forward in their compact, he replied: "Why do that when we already have everything there is to gain and nothing to lose?"
Their "Everything To Gain" for the tribes" in the CSKT compact is mind-boggling! The promise of 1.2 billion from the federal government and another 55 million from the state of Montana, plus control of Western Montana water use should be way more than enough. However, along with the ability to control downstream use (Kerr Dam) (Hungry Horse Dam), comes the potential to control the water level of Flathead Lake and ultimately the value of lakefront property so private property rights may also be added to the equation.
We have been told repeatedly that authorization of this Compact will save millions. We strongly disagree and believe the courts will be clogged and backed up. It stands to reason that passage of this compact will result in the loss of numerable citizen's water rights which under the law constitutes a "taking" for which that owner must be compensated. Should lakeshore property be devalued because of fluctuating water levels, that too could be viewed as a "taking" which could end up in the court system. It is a sobering thought to consider that in any contested case it will be some hapless
Montana citizen vs. the U.S. Justice Department litigating on behalf of the Reservation Corporation.
Anyone can recognize that this is a win/win for the Tribes as they are asking for it all, and this Compact appears to be conceding to their every demand. We know that this will be costing Montana 55 million. We have examined the negative scenarios. What we want to know is what, if anything, does Montana stand to gain in what appears to be the largest giveaway in Montana history? A giveaway for all time!
Only you have the ability to say "no" on behalf of your constituents and thousands of Montanans.
We do not plan to be silent about our position on this critical issue."
Following is Opinion column published in Great Falls Tribune on February 5, 2015:
MEDIA BLITZ RAISES NEW QUESTIONS
Yes, we know that the Salish/Kootenai tribes are promised $ 1.2 billion if the CSKT Compact is approved & Montana is committed to pony up another $ 55 million. Now we hear that upwards of another million has been added to the mix with the emergence of an intensive media campaign purported to be in the scope of a gubernatorial or presidential campaign—that much in radio contracts alone.
Concerned water users in the Clark Fork Basin, puzzled by the dubious assertions made by the spokesperson for the newly formed group, Farmers and Ranchers for Montana, have had their attention jerked to this even more puzzling development. Who is paying for the radio ad campaign? What special interest can afford the side bar ads on the Internet? They are not cheap.
In an editorial printed here on 1/15 it was indicated that the expressed purpose of the above group is to "educate Montanans about the CSKT. Yet there seems to be no substantive information made available and it seems to be the case with the other promotional ads too. Only glowing statements supporting passage. How can they be so certain when the sponsor of the CSKT bill is still endeavoring this week-end to prepare what he described as a "risk analysis." This, too, grabs attention when the senator has stated that our county, one of eleven "off-reservation" counties whose water rights could be compromised, is protected.
Montanans do need educating about the 1400 (1500?) page CSKT Compact! We need to learn exactly what Montana stands to gain, other than an ethereal promise of less water litigation. We need to know the cause of these actions hanging over our heads. Are they related to 12,000 actions threatened by the tribes if the CSKT is not passed by the Montana Legislature? Anywhere else that could be perceived as a threat.
We need to know if Montana's best interest here is the same as the interests of non-tribal water users who have properly filed on water they are putting to beneficial use and depending upon Montana's Constitution and court system to protect their rights.
We need to know the ramifications of agreeing to a precedent-setting deal—the like of which never before in these United States has given a sovereign tribal nation the right to control distribution of off-reservation water. We know that the U.S. Justice Department will enforce that right, once it is surrendered by Montana, but the big question is who will be defending the rights of John or Jane Doe? Has any thought been given to the number of suits when they discover that their rights have been literally sold down the river? And once other Tribal Nations view the bonanza granted the Salish/Kootenai, what is to prevent them from bringing actions to obtain the same advantage? Endless litigation.
Wake up, Montana, before special interests; Uncle Sam and/or the Salish Kootenai buy enough advertising to convince your legislator to capitulate to their demands. Make no mistake—they want it all. and too many people we have sent to Helena seem willing to help them get it. The U.S. Justice Department has never backed off from representing tribal interests on the reservations—now the Compact opens the door to a whole new playing field. It makes perfect sense for the federal government to ante up 1.2 billion dollars if it can buy them the ability to see that control of water in the entire Clark Fork Basin is placed within their grasp as custodians of tribal interests. Water is today's gold!
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

UAE allots land for temple
Blog by Radhika Ravi Rajan
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day state visit to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, the UAE announced plans to allot land for the building of a temple in Abu Dhabi for the Indian community.
Of course, an elated Prime Minister termed the announcement as a landmark decision. "A long wait for the Indian community ends. On the occasion of PM`s visit, UAE Govt decides to allot land for building a temple in Abu Dhabi," tweeted External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup. "PM @narendramodi thanks UAE leadership for this landmark decision" , he said.
The UAE is home to 2.6 million Indian workers, 20 per cent of whjom are white-collar professionals. Indian expatriates comprise 30 per cent of the UAE`s population and are the largest nationality group.
Soon after his arrival, Prime Minister Modi had visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a key place of worship in the UAE and known as a masterpiece of Islamic architecture.
Mr Modi, wearing a kurta with a cream-and-red stole, spent about 40 minutes at the mosque, built at an estimated cost of USD 545 million, evincing interest at the imposing 82 domes in seven sizes located inside the place of worship.
The mosque is third largest in the world after the ones in Mecca and Madina in Saudi Arabia. It is considered to be the largest example of marble mosaic in the world. The mosque can accommodate around 40,000 people. The mosque was constructed from 1996 to 2007. It is named after the founder and first President of the UAE, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

I found Valygar, but he then died and i didnt really think much of it, but i guess i need him to get into the Planar Sphere. Can i find him and somehow add him back to my party and have him resurected? OR is there another way to get into the sphere. seems to me it would be too bad if there were no other way.
His dead body works just fine. As a matter of fact, I have Valygar alive, and dead in my game. I guess I could put this under the 'wierd stuff' post. Valygar was hit by a Flesh to Stone spell. I cast Stone to Flesh and added him back into the party. I then went to pick up his dropped items, and one of them was his body! He is now carrying himself back to town.
that happend to me, and if you go to the cowled wizard before you enter the sphere you can get the reward for his killing, mana bow +4 i think. AND tolgireas turns up in the sphere so you will get nice XP as well,so happiness for everyone.
Too bad I already did the sphere. I could use that bow! Hey this is actually a SPOILER/CHEAT! You can kill Valygar and raise him, Use his body to get the reward and still have him for the rest of the game.
Actually, the mana bow's in the forest of Tethyr. Tolgerias just gives you the ring of the ram which you can pick up after you kill him anyway.
Thanks, Finger of Death. I was starting to get depressed. I got the ring, and it's not too impressive.

Se denomina handover o traspaso (también handoff o Manos libres) al sistema utilizado en comunicaciones móviles celulares con el objetivo de transferir el servicio de una estación base a otra cuando la calidad del enlace es insuficiente en una de las estaciones. Este mecanismo garantiza la realización del servicio cuando un móvil se traslada a lo largo de su zona de cobertura.

Introducción

 Los sistemas celulares están formados por celdas con el objetivo de mantener a los diferentes equipos conectados en la áreas de cobertura.
 Cada celda contiene una estación base (BS) y un determinado número de canales, cada uno de los cuales está asociado a una frecuencia.
 Un cluster o racimo es un conjunto de celdas.

La arquitectura en la cual se estructuran los sistemas celulares, permiten hacerlo compatible con un tamaño de receptor móvil actual, algo muy valorado por los usuarios. Pensemos por un momento lo que implicaría tener una única celda: a medida que el móvil se alejara de la estación base, debería transmitir tal potencia para llevar a cabo la comunicación, que lo haría incompatible con un tamaño pequeño y peso ligero.

Además, surge otro problema: el número de frecuencias en cada celda es limitado. Por ello, se propone reutilizar las frecuencias. Dicho mecanismo permite a usuarios de diferentes clusters utilizar la misma frecuencia para llevar a cabo la comunicación.
Para que la interferencia procedente de la reutilización, también llamada interferencia cocanal, no sea percibida por el usuario, se debe asegurar que la separación entre celdas con la misma frecuencia sea suficiente como para minimizar este efecto.

Por último, para medir la calidad del enlace, pueden utilizarse distintos parámetros como son el RSSI (Radio Signal Strength Indicator), BER (Bit Error Rate), relación C/I (Portadora/Interferente), entre otros.

El proceso Handover puede llevarse a cabo por diferentes motivos:

1.- Cuando el teléfono se está moviendo de una área cubierta por una celda y entra en otra área de cobertura de otra celda, la llamada es transferida a la segunda celda con la finalidad de evitar la terminación de la llamada cuando el teléfono sale de la zona de la primera celda.

2.- Cuando la capacidad para la conexión de nuevas llamadas de una determinada celda se está utilizando y una existente o nueva llamada de un teléfono entra, que se encuentra en una zona superpuesta a otra celda, se transfiere a esta celda con el fin de liberar cierta capacidad en la primera celda para otros usuarios, que sólo pueden ser conectados a esta celda.

3.- En redes que no sean CDMA (acceso múltiple por división de código), cuando el canal utilizado por el teléfono pasa a ser interferido por otro teléfono utilizando el mismo canal en una celda diferente, la llamada se transfiere a un canal diferente en la misma celda o en un canal diferente en otra celda, a fin de evitar la interferencia.

4.- En redes que no sean CDMA, cuando los cambios de comportamiento del usuario, por ejemplo, un viaje rápido del usuario, conectado a una celda grande, si se detiene, la llamada puede ser transferida a una macro celda más pequeña o incluso a una micro celda a fin de liberar capacidad en la celda por otros usuarios que se muevan también rápidamente y reducir las posibles interferencias a otras células o usuarios (esto funciona también en sentido inverso, cuando un usuario se detecta que se desplaza más rápido que un determinado umbral, la llamada puede ser transferida a una celda más grande, a fin de minimizar la frecuencia de la handoffs debido a este movimiento).

5.- En redes CDMA un soft-handoff puede ser inducido a fin de reducir la interferencia a una celda vecina más pequeña debido al efecto "near-far" incluso cuando el teléfono tiene una excelente conexión con su actual celda.

Mecanismo de Handover basado en RSSI
Este mecanismo se utiliza cuando la potencia y la calidad de la señal recibida, se encuentran por debajo de un determinado umbral. Puede ser ejecutado mediante algoritmos controlados por el móvil, por la red o por ambos.

La elección del umbral óptimo es complicada, ya que debe evitarse en todo momento un retardo excesivo en el inicio del traspaso, así como traspasos intermedios (indeseados) que provocan una elevada carga de señalización innecesaria en la red.

Para llevar a cabo la elección del umbral óptimo, el Handover basado en RSSI debe realizar un promediado de los ecos que se producen en el entorno móvil, evitando así los efectos indeseados de cambio de estación base innecesarios (efecto ping-pong).

El efecto más destacable que introduce el promediado de los ecos es un retardo adicional en la realización del Handover. La elección del tamaño de la ventana de promediado condicionará, por tanto, dicho retardo así como la probabilidad de que se produzca un Handover indeseado. En la elección del tamaño de la ventana existirá un compromiso entre ambos parámetros, de modo que, si el tamaño de la ventana es muy elevado, la probabilidad de que se lleve a cabo un Handover intermedio será pequeña siendo el retardo en iniciarlo mayor, y viceversa.
Utilizados para la medición de apertura y cierre de válvulas.

Tipos de Handover
El handover se puede producir de diferentes maneras, por ello en términos generales se clasifica en dos categorías, desde el punto de vista del usuario y de red. A continuación se hace una breve descripción de los distintos tipos que encontramos en cada una de estas categorías.

Desde el punto de vista de usuario
A pesar de la denominación de esta distinción, el proceso de traspaso se realiza de forma transparente al usuario, de modo que las transiciones entre una célula y otra sean suficientemente pequeñas como para pasar desapercibidas por los usuarios.

1. Hard-Handover: Antes del proceso de traspaso, el móvil está conectado a su estación base origen. Durante el proceso de Handover, se desconecta de esta y durante un tiempo (del orden de milisegundos) no está conectado a ninguna otra BS. Mediante este procedimiento, se usa por lo tanto, un solo canal. De este modo la conexión con la BS original se corta antes de realizar la nueva conexión a la nueva BS.
Es el método más utilizado (por ejemplo en GSM) a pesar de ser menos fiable que el siguiente caso que se explica, soft-handover.

Fundamentalmente, se usa hard handover en FDMA y TDMA cuando se usan diferentes rangos de frecuencias en canales adyacentes para minimizar las interferencias de canal. De esta forma MS se mueve de la una BS a otra BS, ya que es imposible la comunicación con ambas BS (desde diferentes frecuencias). En la figura 1.1 se ilustra la comunicación hard handover entre MS y las BSs.

2. Soft-Handover: En este caso, durante el proceso de traspaso el móvil estará conectado mediante un canal a la BS origen y mediante otro canal a la BS destino. Durante dicho proceso, la transmisión se realiza en paralelo por los dos canales, es decir, no se produce interrupción del enlace. Con dicho sistema se asegura una conexión con la estación base de la nueva celda antes de cortar con la conexión antigua. Este es el sistema que proporciona mucha fiabilidad, a pesar de tener, por el contrario, una difícil implementación (sólo en CDMA ONE ).
Los estándares CDMA y WCDMA utilizan soft handover.

3. Sin handover: en el caso de que no se realice handover, no se realiza traspaso entre BSs. Simplemente el MS establece una nueva llamada al salir del área de cobertura de la BS. Ello presenta una gran ventaja, la de poseer un procedimiento mucho más simple, lo que conlleva, por otro lado necesita una gran velocidad de establecimiento de llamada.
Utilizado en raras ocasiones (PMR).

Desde el punto de vista de red
Desde del punto de vista de red encontramos diferentes clasificaciones si suponemos que estamos en hard handover o bien el soft handover.

Para el primer caso de hard handover tenemos:

1. Intra-Cell Handover: En un sistema normal, con varias redes. Sólo se realiza intra-cell handover cuando la calidad de conexión de un canal físico (que ha sido medido por la misma BS) está por encima del nivel deseado. De tal manera que intra-cell handover puede realizar un cambio de slot en la misma frecuencia (TDMA), un cambio de frecuencia(FDMA) o un cambio de frecuencia y tiempo simultáneo. Sin embargo, no existe actualmente ningún criterio para realizar intra-cell handover cuando los límites de la conexión de salida están por debajo del nivel deseado por la BS, especialmente cuando las conexiones colindantes están también por debajo del nivel deseado (por ejemplo cuando un inter-cell handover no proporciona ninguna salida que mejore la calidad).

2. Inter-Cell Handover: Este es el tipo de handover más simple. Será necesario cuando la señal de la conexión de un canal físico sea baja. Para evaluar la calidad de la conexión, el móvil constantemente transmite los valores de las medidas RXLev (nivel recibido medido por el teléfono) y las RXQual(el radio del error de bit determinado) a la BS. Si la BS quiere entregar el teléfono a otro canal, lo que necesita es informar al teléfono sobre el número del nuevo canal y su nueva configuración. El teléfono cambia directamente al nuevo canal y puede mantener ambas configuraciones para la sincronización de la BS. El proceso de Intra cell handover es posible realizarlo entre diferentes bandas de GSM.

En cambio para soft handover:

1. Softer handover: en este caso, la BS recibe dos señales separadas a través del canal de propagación. Debido a las reflexiones sobre edificios o barreras naturales, la señal enviada desde las MS llega a dos sectores distintos de la BS. Las señales recibidas durante el proceso de softer handover se tratan de una manera semejante a las señales muli-path.

2. Soft handover: Este caso es muy similar al caso anterior de softer handover pero en este caso las celdas pertenecen a más de un nodo. Para ello se realiza una combinación mediante RNC. Es posible realizar simultáneamente soft y softer handover.

Ambas clasificaciones no son excluyentes, es decir, un Handover puede ser, por ejemplo, Intra-Cell desde el punto de vista de red y Soft desde el punto de vista de usuario.

Protocolos de Handover
Existen cuatro protocolos de handover (o handoff) básicos; Network-Controlled Handoff (NCHO), Mobile-Assisted Handoff (MAHO), Soft Handoff (SHO), and Mobile-Controlled Handoff (MCHO). La tendencia de NCHO a MCHO es descentralizar el proceso de decisión del handover, logrando así tiempos de retardo menores pero también perdemos información disponible para realizar la decisión. En resumen, encontramos estos mecanismos:

1. Network-Controlled Handoff: NCHO es un protocolo centralizado donde la decisión de traspaso la toma la red a partir de medidas sobre la señal de un dispositivo móvil, recibida en las diferentes estaciones base. Si la señal recibida en la celda actual es peor que la recibida en una celda vecina la red toma la decisión de traspaso. En los mecanismos habituales, el retardo oscila entre 100 y 200 ms que producen una sensación de interrupción notable en la comunicación. Sin embargo el retardo de éste mecanismo oscila entre los 5 y 10 segundos. Este tipo de handover no es adecuado para enlaces con condiciones variables y una gran carga de usuarios. NCHO se usó en las primeros sistemas analógicos como AMPS.

2. Mobile-Assisted Handoff: MAHO es un mecanismo que distribuye el proceso de decisión de traspaso. El terminal móvil hace medidas y el Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) toma la decisión de traspaso. Comparado con NCHO éste mecanismo tiene un control más distribuido, de este modo reduce el retardo total que normalmente se encuentra aproximadamente en 1 segundo.

3. Soft Handoff: SHO se suele usar con MAHO. En el transcurso del handoff se establece una nueva conexión intermedia entre el terminal móvil y la nueva estación base, manteniendo la conexión con la anterior, hasta que la señal recibida en la nueva BS sea estable. Entonces se libera la anterior. Este mecanismo hace que se mantenga la continuidad a costa de ocupar recursos del sistema (ya que durante un tiempo una misma llamada ocupa dos conexiones).

4. Mobile-Controlled Handoff: frente a NCHO, es el terminal móvil el que tiene todo el control sobre el proceso de decisión en MCHO. El terminal móvil mide constantemente la calidad de señal de las BS que le envuelven. El terminal decidirá el traspaso, si se supera un umbral dado. MCHO es el grado máximo de descentralización del control de decisión cosa que comporta unas cotas muy bajas de retardo (en torno a los 100 ms).

#Soldiers arrest 567 suspects in South-South in 2021
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said soldiers on internal security operations in the Niger Delta region recorded tremendous successes with the arrest of 567 suspected criminals in the outgoing year.
The soldiers under the auspices of Joint Task Force South-South Operation Delta Safe (OPDS), demobilised 1,423 illegal oil refining sites, 4,929 storage facilities and 536 large wooden boats, popularly called 'Cotonou boats, 13 ships laden with crude oil cargo, 9 barges and arrested 137 trucks and other types of vehicles conveying illegally refined products.
Acting Director Defence Media Operations, Major General Benard Onyeuko, made this known in as statement issued in Abuja on the achievements of the joint task operations between January and December, 2021.
Onyeuko, while noting that the Joint Task Force conducted both kinetic and non-kinetic operations within its large area of jurisdiction spanning the entire Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo, Anambra, Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom Cross River States, said the terrain of the joint operation area was swampy, water-logged and crisscrossed by a network of rivers and creeks. He said due to the nature of the terrain and the need to reduce fatigue on troops, most of the operations were intelligence-driven.
To effectively tackle the security challenges in the area, Onyeuko, said the OPDS was made into a multi-agency organisation comprising elements drawn from 12 different security agencies which are NA, NN, NAF, DIA, NPF, DSS, NSCDC, NCS, NIS, NCoS, NDLEA and EFCC.
He listed some of its activities to include protection of oil and gas facilities, anti-crude oil theft operations and clearance of militants'/irates' Camps as well as non-kinetic conflicts resolution.
