Inmate in custody after mistaken release from Cook County Jail
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN, STEFANO ESPOSITO AND RUMMANA HUSSAIN Staff Reporters September 18, 2013 3:31PM
Jeremiah Harris was mistakenly released from Cook County Jail.
- August 21: Inmate mistakenly released from jail, authorities didn't notice for weeks
- January 31: Illinois authorities mistakenly release man convicted for Indiana murder
Updated: October 20, 2013 7:35AM
Armed habitual criminal Jeremiah Harris told Cook County Jail guards he wasn't supposed to be let out, his sister said.
But they let him go, anyway.
It was the third time this year — and the second time in three months — that an inmate has been mistakenly released from the county jail.
Harris' release Monday went unnoticed by authorities until Wednesday. That's when he was apprehended at his sister's home in Carpentersville, his sister and authorities said.
He had spent two days there as a free man, eating his favorite soul food and watching TV, said sister, Sophia Harris, 29.
The snafu may have occurred because a judge didn't enter an order alerting jail officials that Harris should be returned to state prison, said Cara Smith, chief of policy and communications for the Cook County Sheriff's Office.
Harris, who is serving a 12-year prison term for being an armed habitual criminal, had been in the county jail since June awaiting trial in a 2007 murder and for a possible violation of probation in a 2006 unlawful use of a weapon case. On Monday, Harris was found not guilty in the murder case and a Cook County judge terminated the probation in the weapons case, Smith said.
He was supposed to return to Stateville Correctional Center in Joliet, Smith said. But Cook County Judge Kevin Sheehan, who records show was overseeing the murder case, apparently never entered an order to return Harris to Stateville, Smith said. Sheehan declined to comment Wednesday.
"The orders generated on Monday didn't contain any language remanding him back to the [Illinois Department of Corrections], nor to the Cook County Department of Corrections," Smith said.
The Illinois Department of Corrections declined to comment on the snafu, saying in a statement, "We have tremendous respect for Sheriff [Tom] Dart and his people and do not speculate on procedural matters occurring before an inmate is received by this Department."
Harris told the guards to "stop playin' " when they ordered him to pack up, his sister said. She said the family didn't know until Wednesday that Harris was supposed to be locked up.
But the guards "go with the official paperwork they're given" sheriff spokesman Ben Breit said.
Smith said Harris was arrested about 4 p.m. Wednesday in Carpentersville. Smith said the sheriff's office learned about the mistake when it received a call from a Cook County Judge Mary Margaret Brosnahan alerting deputies to the error.
Mistakenly released inmates apparently tend to return to the homes of those they know.
One man accused of domestic violence was found at his girlfriend's home in late August after the jail mistakenly released him July 30. His absence went undetected until he was a no-show in court. He was apprehended that day. At the time, a sheriff's spokesman said it appeared staff mistakenly thought prosecutors had dropped all charges against the man.
In January, a man convicted of murder was mistakenly released, but was apprehended days later in Kankakee, officials said. Sheriff Tom Dart said at the time that he thought a paperwork problem was to blame.
Although Smith said each mistaken release this year had stemmed from a different cause, she emphasized the need for a computerized system to more seamlessly update court files.
"We have been very vocal about our need for a computer system," Smith said. "We still deal solely with paper.
The sheriff's department is still investigating who is to blame for the screwup, but Smith said it's "my sense" that a judge was responsible.
"Regardless of the case, we'll evaluate what happened, and it's always our goal that it never happens again," Smith said.
Meanwhile, Sophia Harris said she's saddened that her brother is once again locked up.
"It's hurtful, but he's gotta go do the time," she said. "I'm just happy I had him a couple of days."

The Broward Medical Examiner's Office was awaiting results of a toxicology report before finishing the autopsy of a man who died after eating dozens of insects as part of a contest to win a python.
Edward Archbold, 32, died shortly after participating in a roach-eating contest at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach on Friday evening.
Ben Siegel, the owner of the store, said contestants must sign a waiver saying they are sober and don't have allergies to shellfish, which have similar allergens to cockroaches.
The Medical Examiner's Office said the toxicology report should be finished in about two weeks.

A cartoonish look at life...
Our family farming history began with my great-great-... (nine generations ago) grandfather Johannes. He, his wife and three children left Saxony, Germany, on April 20, 1734, aboard the ship St. Andrew, mastered by Capt. John Stedman. They landed at Philadelphia on Sept. 22 and eventually settled our family's first "New World" farm near Society Run in Frederick Township, Montgomery County, Pa., in 1743. Pig farming was our family's specialty until the mid 1950s. A lot has changed since then. Our BQA cow–calf operation includes 100% grass-fed registered Red Angus, Hereford and purebred Beefalo; 30 to 35 pastured Duroc and Spot pigs; 100 Freedom Ranger broilers; and 90 Golden Comet and Buff Orpington layers. We organically maintain 80 acres, comprising 15 acres in rotational pastures, 15 acres in tillable cropland, and alfalfa/mixed grass hay on the balance. We have never used chemical pesticides or herbicides on our pastures or hay fields. We are not a "certified" organic farming operation, but we prefer the natural/organic approach to help promote sustainability.

With January shaping up to be the coldest month of the century so far, farmers are hit once again with uncertainties. Uncertainties like: Am I going to have enough propane to keep my turkeys and hogs warm? Or to sanitize my milking equipment? Can I get my propane? And how much will I have to pay for it?
Because of the frigid, record breaking temperatures covering much of the growing area propane has seen some crazy price increases in the last few days. The price went from $1 to $5 and this has propane companies adjusting their prices twice daily.
Part of this shortage is not only due to cold weather but to an unusually wet harvesting season which had farmers using a lot of propane to dry their corn crops prior to storage.
It's hard to believe in 2014 that once again the American farmer might just be left out in the cold.

What Constitutes good marketing?
I believe a good marketing plan should establish guidelines and objectives for the following:
Remember, in the development of any marketing plan one should have a firm grasp of the underlying direction of the fundamentals (bullish or bearish) and the expected intensity (range of move). We like to say it is the fundamentals that determine the long-term direction of the market while the technical actions are the stop and go signs along the way indicating when to sell and when to defend a position.

Asda cafe mmmmmmmmm...
Advantages: cheap meals
Disadvantages: can be crowded
...I just have to share my experience of Asda's cafe. I arrived at Asda to do my monthly shopping after a 40 minute journey and didn't feel very well. My husband decided that a cup of tea was in order so we went into the cafe. I found a seat and sat down, unfortunately, the seat I chose was near the entrance so I felt a draft everytime the door opened which was quite often.
They had just...

Review of Asda Café
Asda cafe, handsworth sheffied.
Advantages: Good place to sit down.
Disadvantages: Can't take your own food (haha)
...Asda Cafe
Asda serves a wide variety of meals, including brunch, fish and chips. Pie and chips or mash.
Food is clearly on display, which I personally feel is unhygienic as it not covered, and has no real protection from the air.
Prices are reasonable.
I had a brunch, which comprised of two sausages, bacon (like rubber), beans (cold as always), chips (slightly anaemic, but edible.)

text: A rootsy little record from the LeBron brothers – one that still has some of the darkly soulful touches of the group's Latin Soul years, but which comes across in a stronger 70s return to tradition mode! The piano of Jose LeBron is still strongly in the lead here – really setting up some nice changes in the tunes, even when they're in a more traditional mode – and vocals are by Pablo LeBron, who has a great way of shifting back and forth, and cascading with the energy of the rhythms! Titles include "La Envidia y La Tumba", "Moros Y Cristianos", "Dulzura", and "Como Son Las Cosas". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

In the run-up to the international automobile trade show Auto Shanghai 2011, BMW Brilliance Automotive presents the concept of a premium-segment plug-in hybrid sedan. In collaboration with its joint venture partner Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. BMW Group has thus taken the next step of the way towards creating the new energy vehicle for China. The prototype is based on the long wheelbase version of the BMW 5 Series Sedan, developed exclusively for the Chinese automobile market and produced at the Shenyang site. It is the … CONTINUED
Count me as one of the people who strongly believes that the F10 5-Series comes out of the box with a beautifully sculpted look. The M-Sport and new M5 of course take that sculpted look to the next level.
Now, i'm not against body kits by any stretch, but in my opinion, this new concept from Prior Design takes things in the wrong direction. Their designs rests on the use of the E90/E92 M3 center grill design grafted onto the F10 5-Series bumper with a row of … CONTINUED

The stock bumper has been replaced by an aggressively styled full replacement rear bumper which surrounds the Porsche-style quad tip exhaust, as well as adding another lower brake light.

Full extended black panel display dash, one of the most anticipated features of the F10/F11 5-series, has finally arrived beginning with March production 5-series (equipped with the 6WA option).

Congrats to our F10 owners, you are driving one of the three finalist cars for the 2011 World Car of the Year Award (and potentially the eventual winner)!. The finalist group was just announced at the Geneva autoshow and the winner will be picked at this year's New York International Auto Show on Thursday, April 21, 2011.
Well folks, we're all done here at the 2011 Geneva auto show and hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we enjoyed sharing it with our community. Geneva is always an exciting show because of all shows, it's arguably the largest in the world and always features an unrivaled number of exotics and tuning companies on display. Geneva is also traditionally one of the most important shows for BMW due to its proximity to BMW's home market and prominence among the auto show circuit events.

The F10 5-series appears to be the darling of the BMW tuners this year at Geneva. Kelleners Sport brought only one car to the show – their Kelleners 520d M-sport. At a glance, Kellener's F10 program features:

CWW wins £10m government communications deal
Summary: The Department for International Development has signed a £10.3m contract with Cable and Wireless Worldwide for the use of its multinational telecommunications framework
Cable and Wireless Worldwide has won a 5.5-year contract to provide communications for the Department for International Development.
In the deal worth £10.3m, Cable and Wireless Worldwide (CWW) will provide IP services such as VoIP and wide area networks through its multinational telecommunications framework to the department, the company said on Wednesday. No further technical details were avalable at the time of writing.
"I am delighted to announce another important customer win in our public sector business and the second contract on our global telecoms framework," CWW's chief executive Jim Marsh said in a statement.
A spokesperson for the Department for International Development (DFID) told ZDNet UK that "the [DFID] computer systems will all be linked up in a fast and effective way". The department is expecting to save about £9m from its telecommunications budget through the deal, he said.
In September, Cable and Wireless Worldwide won an £82m contract to provide communications for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). DIFD will now use the same global communications network as the FCO, the company said.
DFID operates across 44 global sites and has over 1,200 users. CWW has a global next-generation network that can provide connectivity to 153 countries worldwide, according to the company. Latency on the network is less than 300 milliseconds worldwide, and "generally" less than 100 milliseconds in Europe, according to a spokesperson for CWW.

Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin may one day be a great NFL coach. He's a strong leader with an innovative offense, glowing personality and enormous local buzz -- all at only 49 years old.

The composition and levels of wealth per capita for low-income countries
In low-income countries, the natural section represents a quarter of the total wealth, this represents the land that is managed either by household, individual or communally, and the potential for generating income. Physical capital, represents a much smaller share as people will have less potential, compared to higher income countries, to acquire equipment, structures and infrastructure.

Gross National Income (GNI): Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine
Though expanding, the region's economies still lag behind most of their neighbours, with Moldova one of the poorest European countries in terms of per capita GDP. All the countries suffered economic decline in the 1990s followed by some recovery over the last five to ten years (see GNI figure).

Increasing price with volume
Rising block tariffs aim to achieve several public policy goals. A low or zero tariff applied to the first block can enhance affordability. For example, Durban, South Africa, provides 25 litres of water a day free of charge - a lifeline to many - with a steep increase above this level. Higher tiers aim at enabling utilities to increase efficiency, by creating disincentives for overuse, and at mobilizing revenues to cover costs. Block tariffs thus...

Cereal productivity in sub-Saharan Africa under a projected Intergovernamental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenario
A majority of the population in sub-Saharan African lives in rural areas, where income and employment depend almost entirely on rain-fed agriculture. This population is today at high risk. Sub-Saharan Africa already has a highly variable and unpredictable climate and is acutely vulnerable to floods and droughts. A third of the people in the region live in drought-prone areas, and floods are a recurrent threat in several countries. With climate ch...

Poverty and social unrest in South Africa
Although the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Human Development Index ranks South Africa as a middle-income country, the way in which income is distributed across the population is highly skewed. Some 39 per cent of the population, estimated at more than 49 million people, lives on less than R 388 a month. One consequence of poverty and high levels of unemployment is social unrest. A large proportion of South Africa's poor population...

On Saturday--- the dirt will fly, the jumps will be leaped, old glory will wave proudly and close to 30,000 fans will invade Buchanan, MI for the biggest motocross race in the country: RedBud.
"It's hard to explain really," says RedBud founder Gene Ritchie about how big the event has grown. "It's hard to understand. You never would have dreamt anything like this when you get started to what it is now to thousands of people."
Ritchie, now in his 70's, is a motocross legend--beloved by legends.
"The 1st time I saw him, I was like this guy's real mean," says 7-time RedBud champion Rick Carmichael. "And really he's just a big teddy bear."
A native of Valparaiso, Gene Ritchie just loved to ride in the 1960s. As he goes through some old photos, he comes across one of him with the front wheel up.
"I won a wheelie contest and got [my daughter] Amy a teddy bear," Ritchie says with a smile looking at the photo.
"I raced for quite a few years, I just fell in love with it," Ritchie explains. "I knew I couldn't make money racing because I wasn't fast enough."
So he realized he had to take a different path. One day in the early 1970s, he was in Buchanan for a snowmobile race.
"I came up here right where the announcers tower now is and I said 'boy what a place for a motocross track,'" Ritchie recalls. "I talked to the owner and he said, 'I've been thinking about selling the place.'"
Gene and some partners bought the place and RedBud was born in 1972. He eventually bought his partners out. But growing his business wasn't easy at first.
"We weren't well liked when we first got here," Richie says with a laugh.
He remembers the bank not wanting to give him a loan and his neighbors just not being fond of him. "Kill Ritchie," is what Gene remembers some neighbors proclaiming.
But over time, Ritchie and his track won the community over. He says it took about ten years to gain traction and then they were off and running.
"Since then it's become quite the spectacle," Gene says. "We quadruple the size of Buchanan.
Gene credits RedBud's growth to his kids--Amy and Tim, who now run the track.
"They've made it what it is," Gene says of Amy and Tim. "I got it started when it was on the ground floor. Now that I got old and retired, they took over and do all the hard work and my son says my main job is to go around kissing babies. That's what I try to do mostly."
But make no mistake--Gene still makes his presence felt around the track.
"This is his other child so this is kind of one of our siblings I guess," Amy says with a smile. "This is his baby and he looks out for it."
Tim says it always helped having his dad as a resource to get feedback on how the track is operating. He remembers the time when he really took over the reigns from his dad. It happened when Tim pushed for the building of a 120 foot jump.
"He didn't want to do it, didn't want to do it," Tim recalls. "And finally he let me do it and now that's the first place he takes people is to LaRocco's Leap."
Tim was right. LaRocco's Leap is now the signature spot at the RedBud track.
At 77, Gene may be slowing down but RedBud is just getting bigger and bigger. On race days, he stands high above the track on a giant scissor lift. He admits those moments are special.
"Oh certainly. Especially when they start screaming RedBud," Gene says with a crack in his voice before he stops himself before getting emotional.
Who doesn't love saying----"ReddddddBudddddddd." It's the signature yell of any motocross fan that will be at RedBud on Saturday.
And it's all thanks to that fateful day when Gene took his snowmobile up a hill and had a vision. His vision grew into the nation's biggest motocross race.
Saturday's main event races begin at 1pm. Tickets are $40 for adults, $20 for kids aged 6-11 and free for those under 6. The finals will air live on WNDU at 3pm on Saturday.
