The memorandum provides a legal determination on whether lands acquired in trust by the Secretary in Tehama County, California for the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians would be considered "restored lands" under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. It concludes that the Paskenta Band is a restored tribe, and lands acquired in Tehama County would qualify as restored lands. It also finds that the Paskenta Band Restoration Act places a mandatory duty on the Secretary to acquire lands in Tehama County, exempting the acquisition from certain regulations.
The memorandum determines that the United Auburn Indian Community qualifies as a "restored tribe" under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act based on its 1994 restoration act. It also determines that a specific parcel of land called "Resultant Parcel B" qualifies as "restored lands" because it is located in Placer County, California, as specified in the tribe's restoration act for land acquisition. However, the acquisition of this parcel into trust is discretionary rather than mandatory, so the Bureau of Indian Affairs must consider factors such as tribal need and impacts on local governments as required by regulations.
This summary discusses a Louisiana Supreme Court case regarding a 1925 tax sale of property in Jefferson Parish. The Court reversed the lower courts' rulings and found that Mennonite Board of Missions v. Adams, which established that failure to provide notice of a tax sale to the property owner violates due process, does not apply retroactively to invalidate the 1925 tax sale for lack of notice. The Court also found that any defect in the tax sale was cured by Louisiana's five-year peremptive period for annulling tax sales. The case involved a dispute over ownership of an oil and gas producing property and which parties were entitled to production proceeds.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

'By memorandumdated September3,1999,the OiEceof the Regional Solicitorfor the
Pacific SouthwestRegion opinedthat the Tribethat the acquisition of land intotrust under the
PaskentaRestorationAct would be discretiormy, andthussubjectto 25 C.F.R. Part 151 and
NEPA. The RegionalDirectorrequestedthis officeto reviewthe opinionto assurenational
consistency ininterpretation.Thismemorandumconcludesthat the acquisitionof landsin
Tehama County is not discretionary, andtherefore not subjectto the provisionsin 25 C.F.R.
2. It is our opinionthat the Tribe is a "restored"tribe within the meaning of section20 of IGRA,
and that landstaken into trustby the United Statesin Tehama County, California, for the benefit
of the Tribe would qualifyasthe "restoration of lands"within the meaning of section20 of
IGRA. It is our opinionthat the Tribe's RestorationAct places a mandatory duty on the Secretary
to acquire land in TehamaCounty, California, in trust for the benefit of the Tribe, thus exempting
the acquisition from 25 C.F.R. $5 151.10 and 151.11.
The Indian gamin^ Redatow Act
There is a generalprohibition against gaming on land acquiredin trust after October 17, 1988.
25 U.S.C. 2719(a). However, section20 of IGRA sets forthseveralexemptionsto the
prohibition. Id.Q 2719(a)(l)-(b).One exemptionis for landstaken into trust as part of "the
restoration of lands for an Indian tribethat is restored to ~ederalrecognition." Id5
2719(b)(l)(B)(iii). There is a two-pronged analysisto this exemption. First, the tribe must be
"restored"withinthe meaning of IGRA. Second,the land to be acquiredmust be "restored"
withinthe meaning of IGRA. See Memorandum of Solicitorto Assistant Secretary-Indian
Affairs 2 (October 19,1999)(hereinafter "Coos Opinion").
"Restored"is not defined in IGRA, nor is there any relevant legislativehistory regarding the
meaning of thisterm. However,we have consistentlyopinedthat "restored lands" under section
20(b)(l)(B)(iii)includeonly those lands that are availableto a restored tribeaspart of its
. restorationto federal recognition. The statutethat restoresthe Tribe's Federalrecognition status
must alsoprovide forthe restorationof land, and theparticular parcel in question must fall within
the terms of the land restorationprovision. Coos Opinionat 3. When Congressspecifies or
provides concrete guidanceasto what lands are to be restored pursuantto therestorationact,
they qualify as"restored lands" under section20, regardless of the dictionarydefinition.Id.at 4;

As explainedabove, lands qualify as "restored" landsunder section2O(b)(l)(B)(iii)of IGRA if
they fall withinthe land acquisitionprovisionsas setforth by Congressin atribe's Restoration
Act. The PaskentaBand RestorationAct provides, inter alia, for the acquisitionof land within
Tehama County. Therefore, any real property within Tehama Countythat areacquiredinto trust
by the Secretaryon behalf of the Tribe qualifiesas "therestorationof lands"withinthe meaning
of section20 of IGRA.
Com~liancewith 25 C.F.R.Part 151and NEPA
The Secretary's authority, procedures and policy for acceptingland into trust are set out in the
regulationsat 25 C.F.R. Part 151. Two types of acquisitionsare contemplatedin the regulations
-mandatory and discretionary. For discretionaryacquisitions, the Secretarymust consider
variousfactorsin evaluatingwhether to accept land intrust for individualIndiansand Indian
tribeswhen the acquisition"isnot mandated." by legislatioh. 25 C.F.R. $9 151.10, 151.11.For
example,the Department must considerthe need of the individualIndianortribe for additional
land and must considerthe purpose for which the landwill be used 99 15l.lO(b),(c),
151.11(a). The Secretarymust also considerthe extent to which the tribehas provided
informationthat allowsthe Secretaryto comply with theNational EnvironmentalPolicy Act
(NEPA). Id.$ 151.10(h), 151.11(a).
If the trustacquisitionis "mandated"by Congress, thenthe Bureauof IndianAffairs is not
required to considerthe factorsenumeratedin sections 151-10and 151.11in detexmining
whether to acceptthe land intotnist. However, other provisions of Part 151apply when an
acquisitionis mandated by Congress,e.g. 25 C.F.R. $9 151.9 and 151.12(b).
The Tribe's Restoration Act provides:
The Secretary shallacceptany realproperty located in Tehama
County, California, for the benefit of the Tribeif conveyed or
otherwisetransfmed to the Secretaryif,at the time of such
conveyanceortransfer, thereareno adverselegal claimsto such

151.10. See LTBB:opinionat 8.
Subsection (c) of section 1300111-3 provides thatany land conveyed or-erred under
the land acquisitionprovisions shallbe part of the Tribe's reservation.
5. In SaultSte. Marie Tribe of Lake Su~eriorChiDpewaIndians v. United .States, 78 F.Supp2d 699
(W.D. Mich. 1999), the courtupheld the Secretary's determinationthat the acquisitionof land
into trustof behalf of the Little TraverseBay Bands of OdawaIndians("LTBB")was mandatory,
andthusnot subjectto 25 C.F.R. 151.10 and 151.11.Id.at 705. The LTBB RestorationAct
provides:
The Secretaryshall acquirereal property in Emmet and Charlevoix
Countiesforthe benefit of the LittleTraverseBay Bands. The
Secretaryshall also acceptany real property located inthose
countiesfor the benefit of the Little TraverseBay Bandsif
conveyed or otherwisetransferredto the Secretary,if at the time of
such acceptance,there areno adverse legal claims on suchproperty
includingoutstandingliens, mortgages or taxes owed.
25U.S.C. 5 1300k-4(a).3 The Court held that the Secretary's interpretationof the statute as
requiringthe mandatory acceptanceof property intotrustin the named countieswas not arbitrary
and capricious. Sault Ste. Marie, at 705. The Court statedthat the Secretary's positionwas
"eminentlyreasonable interpretation"of the Restoration Act. Id..
NEPA compliance is required for discretionarytrustacquisitionsunder theprovisionsof 25
C.F.R. Part 151.1O(h). However,NEPA compIianceis not necessaryinthis instance because the
acquisitionof property id TehamaCounty for the Tribeis explicitly mandated by Congressby
the Tribe's RestorationAct. See LTBB Opinion at 8-9. In ConfederatedTribesof Coos. Lower
Umpaua and SiuslawIndiansv. PortlandArea Director,) 27 IBIA 48 (1994), the Interior Board
ofIndianAppeals foundthatthe BIAwas not required to comply withNEPA prior to taking land
into trustpursuantto the Coqde Tribe's RestorationAct becausethe acquisitionwas mandated
by Congress and the actionof the BIAArea Director, intakingthe land intotrust,was ministerial
in nature. The CoquilleRestorationAct contains languagesimilarto that of thePaskentaBand's
RestorationAct, See25 U.S.C. $715c(a). Thus,NEPA complianceis not necessary for
acquisitionof land inTehamaCounty intotrustforthe benefit of the Paskenta Band. SeeLTBB
opinionat 8-9.
However, the acquisition of land in TehamaCounty can only occur if there areno adverselegal

s&tary "mayhccept additionalacreagein the Band's servicearea. SaultSte. Marie, at 702.
The sameprovisionexistsinthe PaskentaBand's RestorationAct. However, it shouldbe noted
thatthe use of the word "shall" in the 1egislation.doesnot in and of itselfcreate amandatory duty
to acquirethe land intrust.The land acquisitionprovision must be read inits entiretybefore it
canbe determined whetherthe Secretary's duty is mandatory or discretionary.

determinewhether any suchpotential envhr&ental claimsexistbefore the land may be
accepted into trust for the benefit of the Tribe. See LTBB opinionat 8.
TheRegional Director alsoaskedwhether the IBIAYsdecision in Santanav. SacramentoArea
Director. Bureau of IndianAffairs, 33IBIA 135(1999), requires the BIA to comply withNEPA
in mandatorytrustacquisitions. In Santana, the Board determinedthat the stipulatedjudgment
in Hardwickv. United States,No. C-79-1710-SW (N.D. Cal. 1983), imposed a mandatoryduty
on the Secretaryto acquire land in trust, ifthe restorationto truststatus was in accordance with
theterms of the stipulatedjudgement. 33 IBIA141. The Board held that the BIA exercisedits
discretionary authority under Part 151by agreeingto restore landsto truststatus in the stipulated
judgment and if a requestmet all of the requirements in thejudgement, the mandatory provisions
of the Part 151regulations did not apply. a.at 142.
The Board also determined,however, thatthe Secretarymust complywith NEPA in restoring
those landsto trust status because the partiescould not waive compliancewith federallaw by
enteringinto a stipulatedagreement. Id,at 143. The authority authorizingthe Secretaryto
accept land intotrustunder the stipulatedjudgement in Hardwickwas 25 U.S.C.5465, the
Secretary's discretionary authorityunder the Indian ReorganizationAct (IRA).
Sincethe stipulatedjudgment in Hardwickpertainedto the Secretary's discretionary authorityto
acquire land underthe IRA, and the stipulatedjudgment couldnot waive federal lawor
requirements, the Board foundthat acquisitionsunder the Hardwick stipulatedjudgement must
comply withWEPA. 33 IBIA at 143. TheBoard didnot address,nor was the issuebefore it, the
BLA's compliancewithNEPA inthe context of Congressionallegislationmandatingthe
acquisitionof lands intotrust.The Board did not ovede, or even mention, itsprevious decision
in ConfederatedTribesof Coos, 27IBIA 48(1994). It is our opinionthat the IBIA's holding in
Santanapertains ody to requests for acquisitionsunder the stipulatedjudgement inthe Hardwick
litigation and is limitedin itsholdings to those circum,stances. Thus,Santanadoesnot require
the Secretaryto complywithNEPA when Congresshas legislativelymandatedthe acquisitionof
land into trust. The Board's decision in ConfederatedTribes of COOS 27 IBIA 48 (1994), is still
controllinglawwhen acquisitionsaremandated by Congress.
