San Diego Sheriff’s Dept. Tests Potential Patrol Cars
You would have to ask SDCSD why they would be testing something other than the new Ford. I don't "follow" Ford either, but I do read things like WSJ, Forbes, LAT, NYT Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Road and Track all of which made note of the change. They were tested by LA County Sheriff Dept. earlier this year and according to the story I read, the Taurus pretty much kicked ass on everything else. I read in Motor Trend earlier this year that the CHP is going with th Explorer-based Interceptor and is going to begin phasing them into their fleet after the first of the year— November 1, 2012 3:31 p.m.
San Diego Tax Fighters' Richard Rider at the podium, with San Diego County Republican Party chair To
I hope that you are correct surpuppy619. However consider this. The most recent USC/LAT poll had support for prop 30 at 46%. But in that poll, more than 60% of those surveyed were over the age of 45. But what about they "youth" vote? A PPIC poll from just 1 week ago found that 70 percent of voters age 18 to 34 support Prop 30. If this demographic shows up at the polls, it could seriously change the outcome. BTW, notice the group on the picture along with Richard Rider. How many are in the 18-29 age group? I'm just sayin'....— November 1, 2012 9:36 a.m.
San Diego Sheriff’s Dept. Tests Potential Patrol Cars
surfpuppy619, you must not read very often. Ford introed their new police interceptor almost 3 yrs ago. It's a redesigned Taurus. It went into production when the last Crown Vic was off the line in September of last year. For 2013, they have also added an Explorer based version. Most reviews have said the Taurus better than the Charger and gets better mileage. The biggest advantage was that it was the first all wheel drive pursuit rated vehicle. I have read that Dodge was adding that option, with an up charge, but I haven't read any reviews of it as of yet. I'm surprised that the sheriff's dept. would even test the Caprice because they are crap.— November 1, 2012 9:16 a.m.
Flashy nightsticks
Streamlights. Been using them for probably 30 yrs. You can find the best for around a buck and a quarter if you look. In fact, the first one I ever bought still hangs out in my workshop.— October 31, 2012 10:52 p.m.
Former Jefferson staffer testifies she was told to falsify job numbers
Actually, I have to correct myself. TJLS, WAS the SD campus of WSU up until 1995, when it went independent, according to their own website. Also thet were granted provisional ABA accreditation in August 1996, and full ABA accreditation was granted in August 2001 and the law school became a private, non-profit institution the same year, again according to their website. So they were originally a part of WSU, with no accreditation, then went independent from WSU and gained accreditation.— October 25, 2012 1 p.m.
Former Jefferson staffer testifies she was told to falsify job numbers
surfpuppy619 is correct. WSU started with it's main campus up in OC across from Cal State Fullerton.It became TJSL in the mid '90's. I believe it was given provisional accreditation shortly afterward and probably got full accreditation 3-5 yrs later, which is about the average time. I do recall that sometime about 10 yrs ago or so, the was a concern that the might lose there accreditation. The ABA was concerned about their low passing rate for first time bar exams because it was quite a bit lower than the average for Ca. law schools. Coincidence or not, I don't know, but this happened not to long after it was bought buy group in Pittsburgh that operates a bunch of schools across the country.— October 25, 2012 11:36 a.m.

Local law school has one of worst employment records
"but Higher Education is not getting 23 billion form the general fund" I didn't say it was. Perhaps you should read my comment again. What I said was: "budget for Higher Educations is a total of $23.1 billion, with $11.6 billion from the general fund and $11.5 billion in other funds" "the info I used must have been from a few years ago" Well. I don't know what to tell you surfpuppy619. The State Department of Finance has archived the budget documents from next years budget all the way back to the 2000-2001. These are the enacated budgets and you can find everything from the complete budget summary documents(800+pages) and the highlight documents to the changes, and even the voting history. In none of those years did the CDRC exceed the Higher Education budget. If you search a little online, you can find the budgets back into the 80's. One of the things that I do pay attention to, in terms of the state gov't, is the budget process. Going back probably 20yrs, I usually look at the documents as soon as they are available. They have been available on -line for several years but back in the day, you actually had to get copies from Sac and you had to buy them, or at least pay the copying fee is how they phrased it. I can't remember a single instance in at least the last 20 yrs in which the CDRC budget exceeded the Higher education budget. I would be interested in where you might have gotten you figure. BTW, I am not disagreeing that Higher education gets too little and prisons get too much. But why both education and correction costs are so high is a completely separate issue.— October 25, 2012 11:09 a.m.
