And there it all is.

But Wait!  There's more!  elections are coming and it apparently turns on talk, language.  No.  Not those elections...I mean the Navajo elections. 

1, The Portland City Council voted 4-0 Wednesday night to appeal part of a federal judge's order on periodic court hearings to track the progress of police reforms despite widespread opposition from the community.Mayor Charlie Hales, who serves as police commissioner, and Commissioner Amanda Fritz pushed for the appeal. They won the support of Commissioner Steve Novick and the reluctant support of Commissioner Dan Saltzman. Commissioner Nick Fish had a conflict and wasn't present.The city must file its notice of appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by next Tuesday.
 
2, EarthJustice has this for us: drought hysteria must have hit the tophats in sacramento hard.   The California Department of Food and Agriculture has published a draft of an environmental plan giving the agency authority to spray toxic pesticides anywhere in California, at any time into the indefinite future. The blanket approval would allow no opportunity for affected communities to stop the spraying.
 
3, CIA Director John Brennan in March claiming allegations of CIA hacking were “beyond the scope of reason.” (From CSPAN broadcast of Council on Foreign Relations event)
CIA agents “impersonated Senate staffers” while the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence was producing its report on the agency’s rendition, detention and interrogation program, according to Huffington Post.
4, Barry Kissin is a researcher, lawyer and activist in Frederick, Maryland, where Fort Detrick, a major facility of the United States Army Medical Command installation, is based. He has closely monitored the expansion of the facility. He said today: "The fear is that the government is doing things in the biolabs in west Africa that it might be reluctant to do at Fort Detrick and other facilities inside the U.S."  In 2010, Kissin wrote a piece that noted: "The [Frederick] News-Post has published articles that reflect Fort Detrick has already aerosolized plague, and looks forward to a new facility, only recently announced, that plans on aerosolizing Ebola. Why in the world would we be aerosolizing plague and Ebola? The official answer is that this is necessary to the development of our defenses. Left out of the answer is the plain fact that these purported defenses are against ghastly threats that we ourselves are originating."
5, In Ottawa yesterday an unidentified gunman shot and killed a Canadian soldier before entering the Canadian Parliament building and opening fire. Parliament was in session and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was evacuated as law enforcement exchanged gunfire with the assailant who was subsequently killed.
 
5 .  So yesterday in California  prison  officials agreed to end a policy in which it segregated prison inmates after riots based on their race as a way to prevent further violence.Officers have frequently locked inmates in their cells based on which races were involved in the riot, even if individual inmates of that race were not directly implicated.The agreement to end the practice is spelled out in a 21-page settlement involving a lawsuit first filed in 2008. The agreement says future lockdowns may not be imposed or lifted based on race or ethnicity.
 
6, Four former employees of the private security firm formerly known as Blackwater were convicted Wednesday of a mass shooting during the Iraq War.One man was convicted of first-degree murder and three others were convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the deaths of 14 people.The incident, which took place in Baghdad’s Nisour Square, resulted in the death or injury of 37 people and was emblematic of the kind of free-for-all violence that was all-too typical of the conflict.
 
7,  Invoking tribal health and cultural survival, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians has declared a ban on fracking on its sovereign land in what is today North Carolina.
