"A new program inside downtown San Diego’s Central Jail targets immigrants arrested for crimes. The program is called the Criminal Alien Program.
Agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, screen people who have been arrested to identify anyone foreign born. Illegal immigrants can be deported, along with legal residents or visa holders who commit a serious crime.
Last month alone, the program identified 381 deportable immigrants locked up for a broad range of crimes.
"Whether it be drunk in public, driving under the influence, to more severe crimes, burglary or armed robbery," said Lt. Mark Hays of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
The immigration department was already screening in state and federal prisons, and in the courts."
"By next year, the number of agents working in the program will double.
Magee, who supervises the program in San Diego, was just promoted and is moving to Washington, D.C. to launch the Criminal Alien Program in jails nationwide.
In the last 11 months alone, more than 29,000 people have been deported from San Diego County.
According to ICE, of those deported, more than 8,700 people were criminals."
OK, if they are turning to deport the 302,000 illegals Homeland Security estimates will be in our jails and state prisons this year as well as those typically deported, that would be significant.
What do you think?
Great, they should be deported!
I’m graduating from Texas State University in three weeks. This summer my lease runs out. I’ll planning on living in Austin for a year or two to get some job experience. Can anyone suggest any decent neighborhoods to pursue. I’m looking for a location that’s affordable and in a tolerable environment. I’d like to clarify I’m not moving to Round Rock. If anyone mentions Round Rock, Pflugerville, or anywhere in Williamson County, don’t even bother. You’re wasting you’re time because it’s not gonna happen. I won’t be caught dead dwelling in that area; that I can promise you. Let me affirm that I won’t live anywhere in the entire State of Texas unless it’s in Travis, Hays, or Bexar Counties.
Someone answer damnit!
Real quick on the neighborhoods
East Austin – generally the rougher part of town
Downtown – awesome but expensive
http://www.squidoo.com/apartments-downtown-austin
Hyde Park – nice. North of Campus…probably worth checking out
http://www.squidoo.com/hydepark
Arboretum – nice. more like Dallas than Austin
http://www.squidoo.com/arboretumapartments
Far West – a student part of town away from Campus
Wells Branch – A central part of Austin. Suburban feel
http://www.squidoo.com/wellsbranchapartments
South Austin – I think you should check it out. Very Austin and you can get a place in almost any price range
This place has a map of apartments all over town…so you can get an idea of what you will pay in various parts of town

Due to shortage and high rise in the San Diego county for hay, the ranch I board at is increasing board and looking to options of alfalfa pellets to stop the increase of board more.
I never feed my horses straight pellets before, so I am going to slowly begin to wean them. (I am wanting to put my 30 year old and 17 year old on pellets anyhow, so this is perfect timing actually. Those two loose weight easily due to age and high metabolism. My 8 year old holds weight extremly well, so I have to becareful about his portions.)
How much poundage of pellets do you feel should I feed per feeding per body weight? *yes, I will ask my vet too.
30 gelding: 1200. 17 Mare: 1,000. 8 gelding: about 1250.
Their diet changed abit as I just moved them down here on base from the mountains up North. They where on straight Alfalfa, now on Alfafa in mornings and bermuda at night. With our own supplement of 1 flake for lunch (for two older horses). The supplement flake will remain hay.
P.S has anyone bought from Cowboy Corral in Yucca Valley, California?

we were struggling down here in Australia as well. No feed in the paddocks and the hay prices were astronomical.! I have always feed my horses grain as well as lucerne/oaten/grass hay. I have a 16y/o Arab and 11y/o Appi mare. They keep weight extremely well. I use 5 cups of chaff, 2 cups of lucerne chaff, 2 cups of mitavite (pallets) and 1 cup of completo (grain corn,oates,and plenty more). This would happen daily to replace all the nutrients lost from grazing. But also keep in mind that it can cause colic if you only feed grain. We would offer them a biscuit of grass/oaten/rye hay as well. My horses are fat as pigs. I am now building it into muscle with lots of mountain riding. We have very different terminology for our feed down here. I think your flakes are our biscuits. Good luck.
For my best friends birthday, (March 31) i want to take him to a concert. My main choice is the Colin Hay show at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica on the 22nd but it is sold out 
What are some other good shows in the South Orange County region that are either at the end of march/beginning of april? He likes Five for Fighting, John Mayer, Colin Hay, Dave Matthews, and of these types. Suggestions, thanks!
LA Weekly is a great resource for concert info, and I’ve posted the link below along with the LA Times music guide.
These are the concerts around those dates that I’m hoping to check out, and maybe they’re ones your friend would like:
OK Go @ the House of Blues Anaheim on March 20.
Missy Higgins @ Orpheum in LA on March 21.
Cold War Kids @ at the Orpheum on March 27.
The Hotel Cafe is one of my absolute favorite venues, but they haven’t posted their late March / early April concerts yet, so I’d encourage you to keep checking their site for updates. I know for a fact that a really awesome local singer is going to be performing there in early April.
Coachella is mid-April. If you got him tickets for that, he’d probably officially declare you as the most awesome friend who ever lived. : )
Have fun!
Our 120 acre plot of land will be coming out of CRP this Fall in Ray country Missouri. The state currently pays CRP $65/acre for us not to do anything with 40 of the acres and it can be renewed for another 4 years. 50 acres is dense woods.
I’d like to explore some other possibilities of what to do with the land…all or some. I’m hoping to get a return of greater than $100/acre if possible.
The soil is Missouri soil grade 4-8.
I’d be open to various crops, hay, renting out for crops, hunting trips, etc but have no idea how much any of it would be worth and what the best types of crops would be for the type of soil, climate etc. My neighbor believes it’s only good for hay.
I don’t think you can get good advice for that on here. You should be talking to local farmers or a local soil conservation district.
I’m looking for halloween activities for children. especially fun farms, pumpkin patches, hay rides, and corn mazes
You need to tell the state as well as the town or county. Keep looking.
I go hunting here and someone put up all kinds of "No Tresspassing" signs, I think this is public land and it is just some other hunter trying to keep competioion out but I want to make sure. The property lines are key. The place is in Webster County, Iowa
First one that shows me the map I will give you "Best Answer"
Go to your city’s website and find out if it has a zoning ordinance map. Usually in the planning department websites in California cities. This will help to map the property line.

Hay!
Just wondering. Any1 live there eather?
Yes, I know where it is—I’ve been every year for the past 15 years. The post that said there’s no McDonalds is wrong–there is a McD’s in Sturgeon Bay
I moved here over last summer. My yard is patchy grass over sand. I planted bahai 3 weeks ago. Not sure what kind, bought at hardware store.When will it grow? Plus does it need to be covered? Can hay work as a cover since I’m patching? Also what grass will work under pine and oak trees?
your yard is patchy because it is the dormant period but in a few weeks it should start to grow should we be able to get some rain.. (drought for the past 2 yrs in Fla)
When seeding the lawn that way you did, you need extreme watering for the seeds to germinate the best light cover for the seed would be top soil.. hay and pine needles will only kill the grass they act as mulch. Solution for oak is planting xeriscape (i.e. liriope) around that area.. Solution for the pine is planting acid loving azaleas. With the pine needles, no grass can survive under the pine unless full sun coverage under and perfect position for exposure.
