Undercover surveillance at a midtown apartment complex led to the seizure of heroin and methamphetamine and the arrests of three illegal immigrants Wednesday, a Tucson police spokesman said.
Police seized a pound of heroin, worth $16,000; 1.5 pounds of meth, worth $18,000; two handguns; three rifles; an undisclosed amount of cash and drug paraphernalia at the apartment,Two of the men arrested - Oscar Alfredo Sillas-Figueroa, 29, and Pedro Martinez-Salaz, 18 - were booked into the Pima County Jail on Thursday, a jail clerk said.
Martinez-Salaz was charged with possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of a dangerous drug for sale and possession of drug paraphernalia, the clerk said. Sillas-Figueroa received the same charges as well as one for possession of a narcotic drug for transport, she said.
Both are held without bond because of their immigration status, she said.
The third person arrested, a 17-year-old, was booked into the Pima County Juvenile Court Center, Hopffer said. His name was not released because he is a juvenile.
The investigation that led to the apartment in the 4100 block of East Fairmount Street began in August, Hopffer said. All three suspects lived there, he said.
Although the bust was not record-breaking, it illustrates a nexus of new trends in local drug dealing, Lt. Kelly Lane of the Counter Narcotics Alliance said.
There has been a resurgence of heroin sales in the past six months, he said. "We're starting to see heroin making a comeback at the street level in terms of popularity," he said.
Different hard drugs are now being sold at the same location, Lane said. "It used to be that there were specialities. Now you can get several things in one place," he said. Lane said that trend started about a year ago.
Drugs also are being sold locally in larger amounts, he said. Previously, drugs in large quantities were found being moved through town, instead of being sold for local use.
Illegal immigrants, long suspected of carrying drugs north from Mexico, are now selling drugs in increasing numbers, Lane said.

Just a note about it:
This is an herb that is brewed to make a calming tea.
This is the little herb that was first used to make the medication, Valium.
And yes, you can still buy it at herb shops.

How would you describe the fragrance?

Roe vs.Wade Survivor here. I don't understand how liberals can be such hypocrites. They always pretend to be soooo worried about the children yet they support slaughtering 1.5 million of them per year in the US alone. That's 4,109 abortions every day. PLEASE PLEASE don't pretend to care about children until you get rid of abortion!

How much do you think you could save in a year?

I have been doing this every year for 10 years and then at the end of the year I deposit in my daughter's college fund. It has been averaging over $1,200 per year. Money we don't even really miss.

My house went up for a tax sale and someone purchased the certificate. They are about to foreclose. My father is on SS disability and we live in New Jersey. He is half owner of the house which he shares with a brother. The house is paid off except for the taxes. Are there any programs, loans, or any help out there that can save my house?

About 2 weeks ago I started to get these weird sythoms in my stomach. I would wake up in the middle of the night and start to feel nauseated but at the same time feel starving. During the day the nausea would go away but I would continue to feel hungry all the time and no matter how much I eat I dont feel full. I seen a doctor a week ago. He did a blood test to see if I had a stomach ulcer...well it came out negitive. So he thought maybe it would be some kinda stomach infection.. just pretty much guessed at my problem and put me on antibotics. The antibotics dont seem to help. My doctor said if the problem proceeds I will have to go back and get put to sleep and then stick a tube down my stomach with a camera to figuer out what is wrong with me. I do not wanna have to go through with it ... but I would have no choice. Has anyone else had these same symthoms as me? Always feeling hungery? I'am not overweight or anything and never had eating problem. Im 21 and weigh 122. Please help.

i can not decide which of these directx 10 graphics cards to get from these two? i can buy either one for the same price, and i want to get one of these two (i know there is better cards out there but it has to be one of these for now!

1st choice:
Evga 8600 GTS, 512MB, GDDR3,128bit, Core clock 675mhz,
memroy clock 2000mhz,

2nd choice:
PNY 8800 GTS, 320mb, GDDR3, 320bit, Core clock 500mhz,
Memory clock 1600mhz,

the only difference i see is that the 8800 gts has 320bit ans lower mhz on everything eles? does it look like the 8600 gts is a better card for new games?

I'm assuming there is some kind of dress code...The Boston Red Sox with overgrown beards, pooka shells, hair extentions, doo rags, to me are pushing the envelope. Seems very cloppy and unprofessional to me. Manny Ramirez barely keeps his hat on. His extentions are well over his shoulders. All doo rag all the time. Looks terrible. I see it as an insult to MLB, the fans, and their team.

I keep hearing lots of comments how Americans are so dumb and how they believe everthing their media tells them. Perhaps it's true. But are you telling me that out of this whole world, Americans are the only ones who beleive everything thier media tells them? I'm sure there's media bias in every country, but for some reason it's mostly the Americans who get criticised for 'swalloing eveything they say' Nobody's perfect you know.

Graduated college BA in art but want to become a school teacher, what is the first step?
I am guessing I need to go back to school and get another BA but have no idea what.
I know I want to teach around grade 2 and up, The higher the better since I want to do more of a mentoring/teaching and less babysitting.
