stanley cup ite families by some 40 percent.The riots in Watts raged across 50 square miles of south Los Angeles for six days in August 1965, killing 34 people and injuring more than 1,000.The report also found, however, that blacks are registered to vote in greater numbers than other racial groups, make up 14 percent of elected officials and are well represented in unions. Ninety-four percent of black children have health insurance and 63 percent of black 3- and 4-year-olds attend preschool.Still, statistics showing that black and Latino drivers are searched by the LAPD four times more often than whites or Asians indicate much more needs to be done to foster racial equality, city leaders said. Some people are suffering from the illusion that all is well in the African-American community, John Mack, former president of the Urban League, said at a Wednesday summit of 600 city leaders. It s important for the city of Los Angeles and its leaders to understand and recognize the challenge co

The black P茅rigord truffle, revered among foodies for its unique scent, has become so rare that it sells for $900 per pound. But not for long. A team of chemists have begun to

P茅rigord is a black diamond among fungi 鈥?it only grows on oak and hazelnut roots, and as the researchers say in a paper published last week, nobody understands the truffles ; symbiotic relationship well enough to farm it. So it has to be found in the wild, which is becoming increasingly difficult due to habitat changes and invasive species. Still, the truffle is revered among foodies for its smooth texture and complex, earthy aroma. A small amount, slipped into a dish, can transform the flavor.

The American Chemical Society describes what the researchers found when it came to smell: They found that more than 2,500 proteins out of the truffle nearly 13,000 were similar to existing proteins in other fungi, and they identified nine proteins that contribute to the cherished aroma. This study has resulted in the functional characterization of novel proteins to increase our biological u
