...Even worse, last year about 3,000 suspects, mostly drug offenders, were released from jail or bond obligations under what's come to be known as "701," shorthand for the Louisiana statute that prevents suspects from being held more than 60 days without formal charges being brought against them. And in January alone, the number of 701 releases soared to 580. Prosecutors say they aren't getting police reports in time to bring charges, or that the reports are incomplete and unable to withstand the rigors of a trial. For their part, police counter that the D.A.'s office...
...agreed to have officers undergo intensive report-writing seminars led by state prosecutors; Jordan endorsed the idea of placing prosecutors in police precincts around the clock, so reports could be reviewed in a matter of hours, not days. And he agreed, sort of, to accept the results of field drug testing kits as evidence in some cases to prevent 701 releases, rather than the more time-consuming but superior lab tests...

But Afghans have historically seen themselves as producers of opium, not consumers, citing a Koranic loophole that prohibits intoxicants but fails to proscribe their production...
Students who drink already reap the majority of the UC’s social generosity; however, the $75 opt-out student activities fee is charged to the termbills of drinkers and non-drinkers alike.

By funding more freshman parties, the UC is wisely extending a hand to a traditionally ignored demographic...
...Luckily, our search behavior doesn't lie. Here's a hypothetical based on recent events. Imagine if you polled Americans and asked what was more significant: a candidate's past use of illicit drugs, or a candidate's enrollment in a Muslim school at the age of 6? Intuition says that you'd get a more or less equal amount of concern about both issues. Search term data proves otherwise. If we look at the search patterns for 10 million U.S. Internet users over the last four weeks, the impact of the revelation of Barack Obama's elementary school...
