Without a doubt, Vidal Sassoon, whose death has just been announced, was a really lovely guy.

Britain is in the throes of a full-on love affair with all things Scandinavian, on television, film, and books. From The Killing to the just launched The Bridge, from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to the gore of author Jo Nesbo, it is simply cool to be - well, cool.

The Guardian's letters page and its adjunct Corrections column is a constant source of fascination.

Vermont Law gets $700K for Southeast Asia programs
The U.S. Agency for International Development has awarded the U.S.-China Partnership for Environmental Law at Vermont Law School a $700,000 grant extension, increasing the total grant award to $6.8 million and enabling the partnership to expand its programs in Southeast Asia through September 2015.
The U.S.-China Partnership will use the funds to continue its efforts to raise awareness of the importance of environmental protection and the need to create a legal or policy framework to promote sustainable development. This framework is needed not only within China, which faces tremendous environmental and public health-related challenges, but also for its overseas investments, which are on the rise. China is the third-largest investor internationally, behind the U.S. and Japan.
Chinas most significant foreign investments have been made in the Greater Mekong Sub-region, in the nations of Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar, where Vermont Law is working to improve environmental governance.
While such investments can improve standards of living and bring economic opportunities to these countries, they also bring environmental risk to disadvantaged communities that do not have the capacity to advocate for their own protection.
The Vermont Law U.S.-China Partnership aims to address both the social and environmental impacts of foreign investment in the region by building upon the partnerships relationships in China and successes collaborating with local officials and academic institutions.
This extension reflects our accomplishments in China and will enable us to expand our expertise and work in the region, Siu Tip Lam, associate professor of law and program director of the U.S.-China Partnership, said in a press release announcing the grant.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON Rutland Post 31 pitcher Andy Kenosh called it mojo.

Hailed by Frank O'Connor as one of "the greatest living storytellers," J. F. Powers, who died in 1999, stands with Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, and Raymond Carver among the authors who have given the short story an unmistakably American cast. In three slim collections of perfectly crafted stories, published over a period of some thirty years and brought together here in a single volume for the first time, Powers wrote about many things: baseball and jazz, race riots and lynchings, the Great Depression, and the flight to the suburbs. His greatest subject, however--and one that was uniquely his--was the life of priests in Chicago and the Midwest. Powers's thoroughly human priests, who include do-gooders, gladhanders, wheeler-dealers, petty tyrants, and even the odd saint, struggle to keep up with the Joneses in a country unabashedly devoted to consumption.
These beautifully written, deeply sympathetic, and very funny stories are an unforgettable record of the precarious balancing act that is American life.

Praise For…
"Powers is a genuine original. Read him…for the pleasures he bestows of ear and eye, but read him too for the supreme trustworthiness of his vision, a trust earned by impeccable craft, and by a balance perfectly struck between a cutting irony and a beleaguered faith." — Mary Gordon
"In these stories, there is a lovely, travelling hesitancy, an obliquity, so that they seem to creep up on the reader….The strongest of them are surely among the finest written by an American." — James Wood, The New Yorker
"To read the first story ("The Lord's Day") in this collection is to put down the book with the sense of having read as great a short story as any ever written, and I mean by anybody: by Cheever, Sherwood Anderson, Checkov. What ease they have is in the style: there are no easy morals here, no edifying lessons, but their vigor and correctness make them delightful to read. And while they're terribly funny — laugh—out—loud funny, in spots — they're also complex and deeply serious." — Donna Tartt, Harper's
"Power's particular blend of trenchancy and bleak wit….Powers' short pieces remain more effective than his novels. His was a gift of understatement and speed, and at his best his narrative economy is breathtaking….It is a pleasure to see [them] reissued…in a single volume. For a collection that spans three decades, The Stories of J.F. Powers isn't especially long, but the work is striking, impelled by a vision that has been cleansed by deep intelligence and powerful subject matter." — Erin McGraw, The Georgia Review

Man 1st To Be Jailed For Using Contraband Drone
Daniel Kelly Flew Drone Deliveries Over Prison Walls
Hertfordshire Police have more then doubled the number of bikes they have available to be used by officers on the beat.
As part of Operation Cyclone there are now 320 bicycles available.
Other forces in the UK claim to have found them useful as they cover more ground and allow for a silent approach to apprehend suspects.
It's also been claimed that it makes them seem more approachable.
The force used the bikes a lot during the Olympic Games at Lee Valley and were found to be an excellence way to get around.
Safer Neighbourhoods Sergeant Paula Reynolds says:
"The officers were highly visible in the Lee Valley Park, at the train stations and on the road leading to the venue. They were able to move quickly and effortlessly to deal with incidents, where vehicles couldn't gain access and were able to get to places more quickly than officers on foot.
"Officers were even on hand to assist a couple of cyclists who were having problems with their bikes. The officers came to their rescue, using their on-board bike toolkits to help fix the bikes.
"It really demonstrated for us all the benefits of using bicycles and certainly the public reaction to seeing officers on bikes was overwhelmingly positive."

National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
The NSSE is an inquiry into the extent to which students at four-year colleges and universities engage in an array of good educational practices. Many of the questionnaire items deal with student behaviors that educational researchers have found to be highly correlated with the intense learning and personal development that are hallmarks of a meaningful college education.
CSUSM has participated in the NSSE survey since 2001, and the survey is now administered biennially to freshmen and graduating seniors. To view a summary of recent findings, click on the name of the report for the desired year.

It was a tight game, tied at three in the eighth inning between the two American League wild card teams, when O.co Coliseum decided to add a bit of levity to the A's and Rays Friday night game, which Oakland eventually won 4-3.
[RECAP: A's 4, Rays 3]
The telecast captured a scene in the visiting dugout in which individuals were attempting to open the door to the dugout bathroom. When it was finally freed, Rays closer Fernando Rodney emerged, much to the delight of his teammates.
According to the the Tampa Bay Times, Rodney was in there for 15 minutes and the door handle had to be broken off to get him out.
"The door locked, I don't know how," he said. "I'm yelling, "Hey unlock this, someone's in the bathroom. … It was hot inside, I could only hear the crowd with the game, I can't see what's going on.
"It was weird."
A trip back to 2005 reveals a similar story, when A's starter Joe Blanton was temporarily imprisoned. From the San Francisco Chronicle on Sept. 5, 2009:
"After the Mariners' two-run rally, Blanton walked into the dugout, closed the bathroom door behind him and did things that weren't kind to the operating equipment facilities. Problem was, after he did his damage, the door was jammed shut and he couldn't get out. Bench coach Rene Lachemann tried unsuccessfully to force open the door, so manager Ken Macha, a student of tae kwon do, moved Lachemann aside and gave a swift kick, setting his pitcher free."
The Coliseum, the only stadium left in America that is home to both an MLB and NFL team, has seen a glut of negative press this year. In June, sewage problems forced the A's and Mariners to share a locker room, and forced MLB into a statement. Former teammate Mark Ellis, now with the Dodgers, took to the airwaves to blast the stadium. And current A's like Sean Doolittle were quick to follow. Even owner Lew Wolff said it was in "the worst shape in all of professional sports."
It's clear the A's need a new stadium, but the solution hasn't yet come into focus. Until then, players will have to use the dugout bathrooms at their own risk.

AbstractWe propose to engineer a compact, robust, optically-based sensor for measuring local oxygen concentration in aircraft fuel tanks. This system will utilize absorption of rapidly scanned Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Diode Lasers (VCSELs) by molecular oxygen. This proposed system can measure 100 ppm to 100% oxygen in ambient temperatures from -100 to 300 F utilizing a new spectroscopic frequency domain detection scheme known as the wavelength agile spectral-harmonic (WASH) technique. The wavelength agile aspect of the laser source allows for temperature insensitive measurements of oxygen concentration over a wide range of pressures (0.1 atm to 50 atm). The system will also possess auto-calibration capabilities, the ability to withstand temporary immersion in all liquid fuels, fast time response (100 msec), and long operating life (> 10,000 hrs).

Recent medical literature contains numerous reports of the presence of fusiform bacilli commonly associated with long spirilla on various inflammatory and necrotic processes. In 1893, Rauchfus observed this symbiosis in ulceromembranous angina. In 1896, Vincent, who has made many reports of these organisms, described their presence in hospital gangrene and also in a form of ulcerative angina, since then often spoken of as Vincent's angina. Bernheim noted the presence of the same bacteria in stomatitis. Since then numerous corroborative observations have appeared from various parts of the world, thus indicating that these organisms are distributed widely. Indeed, the fusiform bacillus appears to be a normal inhabitant of the buccal cavity, and it is assumed by Vincent and others that it assumes a pathogenic rôle under special conditions only, more particularly lowered general vitality from all causes and other microbic lesions. Spirilla have been found in healthy mouths also and on

Early voting open for Lockport sales tax
Published: Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 6:41 p.m.
THIBODAUX —Early voting is open for registered voters in the Town of Lockport looking to decide the fate of a proposed sales tax increase.
Voters can cast their ballots from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Thibodaux Registrar of Voters, 307 W. Fourth St. or their office in Galliano, W. 112th St, until Saturday.
In order to vote you'll need a picture ID such as a Louisiana driver's license.
To help pay for the sewer system and other proposed projects, administrators in Lockport are hoping voters will pass a 7-cent sales tax increase on May 1, election day.
If voters approve the tax increase, Lockport's sales tax equal with the parish's sales tax at 8.7 percent.
That means a $10 item would have an 87-cent tax. Out of that, 40 cents goes to the state, 20 cents would go to the town and 27 cents goes to the parish, according to Gerard Leonard, town clerk of Lockport.

DHS IG details wireless weaknesses
DHS finds merger no small task
Homeland Security Department officials must increase the number of international visitors they track at land-based U.S. ports of entry and ensure that border officials can more quickly verify those visitors' identities, the department's inspector general recommended in a new report.
Richard Skinner, DHS' IG, suggested that officials make these changes, among others, to the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program. US-VISIT compiles databases of biographic and biometric information from international visitors to determine whether the travelers pose a terrorist threat.
Congress has mandated that US-VISIT must eventually monitor all foreign nationals entering and departing the United States. Although Skinner wrote he was cautiously optimistic that the department would reach its goals, he warned that the program has made only the bare minimum of progress.
The IG predicted that success would require even more collaboration among department officials and their partners and would take at least five to 10 years to achieve.
The report does not include specific recommendations for making the changes because US-VISIT is changing and growing so quickly, Skinner wrote.
As of Dec. 31, 2004, DHS officials had deployed US-VISIT at the 50 land ports of entry that receive the most international visitors. Officials at those ports process about 92 percent of all foreign travelers who enter the United States by land. The system will eventually extend to all 165 land ports of entry.
The system enrolls only about 2.7 percent of all foreign visitors who enter the country via land, the report stated. In fiscal 2002, Mexican travelers accounted for 43.8 percent of land border crossings by foreign nationals, and Canadians accounted for roughly 22 percent, the report stated.
Based on travel patterns from fiscal 2003, the report found that the program will need to handle at least 3.2 million land travelers annually. The system will also need to integrate information gathered at air and sea ports of entry, too, the report stated.
Land ports of entry are the weak link in US-VISIT's protective chain, according to the report. Travelers at land ports of entry are not scrutinized as much as those who come to air and sea ports because planes and ships must transmit crew and passenger information to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.
Officers at land ports, however, do not get as much information in advance and have less time to evaluate the authenticity of traveler's documents and identity, the report stated. Even small delays at land ports of entry can discourage international traffic and commerce, according to the report.
CBP employees must consult numerous databases to verify travelers' identities and discover potential threats, the report stated. According to Skinner's report, department officials must integrate those databases so that border officers can more quickly and effectively identify who is entering the country.
Another major goal that DHS officials have not yet reached is developing the means to track when and if foreign visitors leave the country, the report stated. Testing for the exit system, which would use radio frequency identification technology, is slated to start in July 2005 and continue through spring 2006.

There's little doubt that Dan Plesac had at least one more year in him, even if he is about to turn 42. The 2003 season was just about his best since he was a dominant closer for the Milwaukee Brewers back in the late eighties. Opposing batters managed to hit only a meek .228 against him and his ERA was 2.70. There's plenty of demand out there for a steady left-handed set-up guy with veteran poise and good numbers.
But Plesac's career officially came to an end Dec. 11 when he informed the Philadelphia Phillies he was retiring. It wasn't necessarily that he didn't want to pitch anymore, but the rigors of keeping an over-40 body in prime athletic shape, combined with the demands that continual travel put on his family led the father of two to decide to walk away while he still could contribute to his team.
The fact that his second love lay waiting not far away made his decision that much easier.
With his baseball career over, Plesac can now concentrate full-time on what has always been his other passion. The newest standardbred trainer in the Midwest has 10 horses, his own farm, a desire to learn and a 93 mile-per-hour fastball.
"This is all I've really wanted to do my entire life," Plesac said. "I always hoped to have a career that would lead me to be secure enough to train and have my own horses. The first half of my dream came true with my baseball career."
Plesac broke into the major leagues in 1986 with the Brewers and was among the best closers in the American League over the next several years, making the All-Star team three times. In 1991, he was converted to the set-up role and continued to be a reliable pitcher while bouncing around with the Cubs, Pirates, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks and Phillies. Plesac's career ended with 65 wins, 158 saves and 1,064 appearances.
But long before he pitched in his first professional game, he had been bitten by the harness racing bug. His family had always been involved in the sport as owners and breeders and one of their first horses, Baby Hoey, won nearly $100,000 in the seventies, when $100,000 was still a lot of money.
Throughout his baseball career he retained his avid interest in harness racing and owned a bunch of horses in the early and mid-nineties. He wishes he had owned at least one more. A friend of Plesac's, Richard Balog, named a trotter after him and gave the pitcher three chances to buy half the horse, but Plesac turned him down every time. The trotter Plesac went on to earn $2.5 million.
That little bit of misfortune didn't do a thing to dampen his enthusiasm for the sport. As his body started to ache a little bit more and the stress of spring training became a little more taxing, he began to seriously consider switching sports.
"I felt, mentally and physically, that it was becoming such a grind," he said. "In your late thirties, being an athlete suddenly becomes such a grind. It's a lot more work, a lot more demanding."
But even toward the end of the 2003 season he was still having a tough time making up his mind about his future. He was still pitching well and was playing for a good team that will kick off the 2004 season as a serious World Series contender. He was hoping for some outside help.
"For the last three or four years, I've been waiting for someone or somebody to give me the answer I was looking for," he said. "I was hoping an airplane would fly by with a sign which would say, 'Dan: hang it up,' or 'Dan: go one more year.'"
At last, he got what he wanted. Against the Braves on Sept. 28, which was the Phillies' last game of the season and the last game ever played at Veterans Stadium, manager Larry Bowa asked him if he wanted to come in and get the final out ever at the Vet.
"I was kind of taken aback," he said. "I took the mound with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and this huge silence ran through my body. I just knew it was going to be the last guy. And I knew if I struck the guy out, it was baseball's way of telling me it was time to go."
He went to a 3-2 count on rookie Ryan Langerhans before striking him out swinging. His decision had been made.
"Since I announced to the Phillies that I was retiring, I haven't thought, 'Did I do the right thing?'" he said. "It was time for me after 18 years and 1,064 games."
Less than a week after his retirement became official, he was at Maywood Park passing his trainer's test. After putting the toil of major league baseball behind, he's not anxious to tackle a demanding schedule in harness racing. Instead, Plesac's 3 Up 3 Down Farm will remain a modest operation. Of the10 horses he owns, he intends to train six from his base in Indiana, while turning the others over to other trainers.
"This is a very difficult business and training horses is a very difficult job," he said. "I want to start at the bottom and get a feel for what I need to do. Hopefully, I'll be able to develop a nice horse myself."
Phillies pitchers and catchers report in about a month to their spring training home in Clearwater, Florida. On the same day, Plesac will be a rookie trainer in a barn in frigid Indiana with a bunch of young horses who may or may not turn out to be any good. And he will know he did the right thing.

U.S. Meets Iraq Drawdown Ahead of Schedule
Remaining soldiers to train and assist country's security forces; drawdown like 'moving a medium-sized city'
BAGHDAD—The U.S. military in Iraq said Tuesday that the number of U.S. soldiers in the country has now fallen below 50,000, a milestone accomplished ahead of the formal end of its combat mission slated for Aug. 31.
The Obama administration promised to draw down forces to 50,000 noncombatants by the end of this month. According to the terms of a bilateral security pact between Iraq and the U.S., all U.S. troops are to be out of the country by the end of next year.
The shift in the U.S. mission in Iraq is taking place amid continued violence—albeit at levels significantly lower than the early years after 2003 U.S.-led invasion—and amid an unrelenting political crisis that has hampered the formation of a new government almost six months since the March 7 polls.
Still, Washington has in recent days painted the deadline as a moment of great import. Speaking Tuesday from the president's vacation venue of Martha's Vineyard, Mass., White House counterterrorism and homeland security adviser John Brennan said the Iraq drawdown—a week ahead of schedule—"demonstrates the capability of the Iraqi security forces, who have increasingly moved into the lead in providing security for the country."
In its statement Tuesday, the military affirmed that the U.S. troops remaining in Iraq "until the end of our mission in December 2011" would train and assist Iraqi security forces and continue to work in partnership with them in "counterterrorism operations" as well as support efforts by the U.S. State Department and nongovernmental organizations to build Iraqi "civil capacity."
Last week, elements from the 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, designated by the Pentagon as its last combat brigade in the country, completed what the military described as a "symbolic convoy out of country," from a camp on the outskirts of Baghdad to the Kuwaiti border.
The number of U.S. soldiers in Iraq reached a peak of more than 176,000 in 2007 at the start of the surge ordered by then President George W. Bush, to push back insurgents and militias, and quell Iraq's raging sectarian conflict at the time.
The drawdown of U.S. forces began shortly after Washington and Baghdad signed a bilateral security agreement in late 2008.
In recent months, the U.S. has mobilized one of the largest modern redeployment of forces, halving troop levels here from some 100,000 earlier this year.
Over the weekend, the U.S. military described the drawdown process as "akin to moving a medium-sized city, people and equipment, without interrupting normal daily functions."
The number of U.S. bases in Iraq now stands at 92, compared with more than 600 at the height of operations, according to the U.S. military.
The reduction of forces has involved removing over 1.5 million pieces of equipment from Iraq between June 2009 and August 2010; transferring an additional 900,000 pieces, valued at about $151 million, to Iraqi forces; destroying more than 32 million pounds of waste; and recycling more than 150 million pounds of material, the U.S. has said.
However, neither the drawdown nor the change of mission has meant an end to hostilities. According to the military, a U.S. soldier was killed in the south on Sunday while "conducting operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom," which becomes "Operation New Dawn" at the end of August, reflecting the end of the combat mission. And last week, close to 50 people were killed and more than 60 wounded in a suicide-bomb attack against an Iraqi army recruitment center in Baghdad.
Iraq also remains mired in a contentious government-formation period that has frustrated average citizens and raised serious concerns about the durability of the security gains of recent years and the country's fragile experiment in democracy.
Many have also questioned the loyalties and combat readiness of Iraq's security forces in light of the fractious politics. Both of the top two vote-getters in the March elections, current Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and ex-premier Ayad Allawi, insist they have the right to the premiership but neither has been able to cobble together the parliamentary coalition required to create the next government.
In a bid to end the impasse and encourage compromise, the U.S. has sought to bring Messrs. Maliki and Allawi together in a single coalition by promoting the idea of a new powerful federal post that could potentially go to the person who relinquishes the premiership.
Leading those efforts now in Baghdad is the new U.S. ambassador to Iraq, James F. Jeffrey, who arrived last week. Previously Mr. Jeffrey served as ambassador to Turkey and held senior posts at the embassy in Baghdad in 2004 and 2005.
In recent weeks, top U.S. officials have repeatedly warned of Iran's efforts to exploit the potential vacuum left by the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Gen. Ray Odierno, who ends his tenure as commander of U.S. troops in Iraq next week, told CNN on Sunday that Iran was funding Shiite extremists in Iraq to sow political instability.

Alan Jackson's latest single is shaping up to be his biggest hit ever. He debuted "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)," a poignant ballad about the events of Sept. 11, on the CMA Awards telecast to an intensely emotional response from the live audience, practically stopping the show. Then he watched the song zoom up the charts faster than anything he's ever recorded - and its lyrics were even entered into the Congressional Record.
More important, "Where Were You" has galvanized fans across America desperate to make sense of the horrors they saw that September day and aching to express their pain, grief and anger.
The amazing success of the song makes its soft-spoken creator, well ... just a little uncomfortable.
"The whole reception it's gotten has been overwhelming, to be honest," admits Alan. "After we did the CMAs, I couldn't hardly deal with it. I've had so many compliments and comments, it's almost made me feel weird about it, in a way. I'm glad and very proud that everybody liked it, but it was almost hard to deal with, really." He needn't have worries - listeners have embraced the song wholeheartedly, recognizing it as an honest cry from the heart.
Still, Alan was a little nervous about how people would accept a song that depicts the nation's many reactions to the events of Sept. 11 - a tragedy that left him stunned and devastated.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, with an estimated 300 million people suffering from the disease in 2004 (Masoli et al., 2004). The 2004 Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) report estimated that prevalence of asthma in the general population varied widely in different countries around the world, with proportions ranging between 1% in Albania and 18% in Wales (Masoli et al., 2004; WHO, 2007). Asthma accounts for approximately 250,000 deaths around the world annually, deaths that otherwise could be easily prevented through appropriate treatment (Masoli et al., 2004; WHO, 2007).GlobalData epidemiologists predict a substantial increase in the number of lifetime prevalent cases of asthma in the 10 major markets during the forecast period. GlobalData epidemiologists forecast that there will be approximately 159.20 million lifetime prevalent cases of asthma in the 10 major markets by 2022, with an overall growth of 17.7% over the next decade. GlobalData epidemiologists attribute the projected increase in the lifetime prevalent cases of asthma across all the markets covered in this analysis to changing population demographics in the respective markets, except for the US and the UK, where this growth is also attributed to trends in genetic determinants, social status, environmental factors, and changes in policies related to disease identification and recording (Simpson and Sheikh, 2010; Smith et al., 2005).Scope- The asthma EpiCast Report provides overview of the risk factors and global trends for asthma in the 10 major markets (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, Australia, China, and India). - In addition, the report includes a 10-year epidemiological forecast of the lifetime prevalent cases of asthma segmented by sex, age (in five-year increments beginning at 0 years and ending at ages 85 years and older), and asthma severity in these 10 markets.Reasons to buy- Develop business strategies by understanding the trends shaping and driving the global asthma market.- Quantify patient populations in the global asthma market to improve product development, pricing, and launch plans. - Organize sales and marketing efforts by identifying the sex, age groups, and disease severity groups that present the best opportunities for asthma therapeutics in each of the markets covered.

Pot Arrests For African-Americans In L.A. County More Than Four Times That Of Whites
A look at booking stats for California's 25 most-populated areas finds that in Los Angeles County African-Americans have a marijuana-possession arrest rate that's 332 percent higher than that for whites.
The report, "Targeting Blacks For Marijuana," was released this week and found that across those 25 largest counties the pot-holding arrest rate for blacks was often at least double that of whites despite evidence that indicates African-Americans use cannabis at a lower rate. In L.A. County the percentage was more than quadruple.
The Drug Policy Alliance, which conducted and released the report, is using it to lobby for the passage of Prop. 19, the November ballot initiative in California that would legalize the possession of up to one ounce of weed for those older than 21.
"The findings in this report are a chilling reminder of the day-to-day realities of marijuana prohibition and the large-scale racist enforcement at its core," said Stephen Gutwillig, California director of the Drug Policy Alliance. "Racial justice demands ending this policy disaster and replacing it with a sensible regulatory system that redirects law enforcement to matters of genuine public safety. Proposition 19 is California's exit strategy from its failed war on marijuana."

The study looks at arrest records from 2004 to 2008 in those largest counties, which represent about 90 percent of the Golden State's population, according to a statement from the alliance.
Overall the report found that African-Americans made up one in five pot arrests in a state where they comprise seven percent of the population.
In L.A. County blacks made up three in ten pot arrests but comprise only 1 out of 10 people here.
San Diego County has L.A. beat on that front, however, with a African-American pot-arrest rate that's 365 percent higher than that for whites. In S.D., blacks made up one in five weed arrests but only comprised 5.6 percent of the population. In O.C., the pot-arrest rate for African-Americans was 221 percent more than that for whites.
Riverside County? 265 percent.
San Bernardino County? 255 percent.
