Captured: Joseph Kalac, an armed and dangerous drug dealer
UPDATE — The Snohomish County Violent Offender Task acted on a tip to Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound and arrested Joseph Kalac July 18 at a motel in Pierce County. Deputies say he refused to open the door so they breached it and took him into custody.
ORIGINAL STORY JULY 12 — Joseph Kalac was reported to be loaded down with drugs when he led deputies on a chase through Granite Falls in April.
There was also a woman in the car with him when he crashed after giving chase, but he took off running leaving her there to fend for herself. Kalac didn't get far before a K-9 unit tracked him down.
But then Kalac didn't show up to serve his sentence in federal prison, so now the Snohomish County Task force is on the lookout for this wanted man.
Along with the drugs, Kalac's past convictions include been burglary, forgery, eluding police and illegally having a gun.
Joseph Kalac is 47-years-old, is 5-feet, 8-inches tall and weighs 240 pounds. Police think he could be hiding in Snohomish County.
If you can help the Task Force track down this missing armed and dangerous drug dealer — so he can start his prison time — call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.

A development firm that wants to build 800 housing units on the former Pfizer property in Morris Plains has filed a lawsuit that alleges the borough has not adopted an ordinance for its fair share of affordable housing.
Borough Mayor Frank Druetzler said the lawsuit by M&M at Morris Plains LLC "defies logic," and that he believes the borough is appropriately addressing its obligations to meet low-income and affordable housing needs through current units and supplementary work it is doing with the Morris County Housing Authority.

Nordic Air Forces to Address Urgent Airpower Capability at Copenhagen Summit PR Newswire LONDON, March 20, 2013 LONDON, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As Sweden debates whether it should follow Norway in raising its defence budget and Denmark reopens bidding to procure 30 new fighter aircraft, representatives from across the Nordic military community will assemble in Copenhagen this May to address immediate and long-term requirements. Fighter Nordic 2013 ( http://www.fighternordic.com ), taking place from 29-30 May 2013, will see participation of fighter branch chiefs from the Arctic nations to address a number of concerns surrounding the procurement of fighter platforms and their role within the air force in the region. Identifying the shared need for a capable multirole fleet, Denmark has since reopened the competition to supply its air force with thirty new fighters, notifying Boeing, Eurofighter and Saab to pitch proposals. Lockheed Martin's Joint Strike Fighter programme office will also be reaffirming their interest in this project. Additionally, in recent weeks, both the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces and an academic report announced that the current defence budget is leaving Sweden unable to effectively defend itself, forcing the government to reconsider its expenditure. One of the major shortfalls was found to be the number of fighters the country has to secure its airspace. Read more on this development here: http://www.fighternordic.com The conference will also see representatives from Canada, the US, the UK and France, with discussion revolving around future multinational defence capabilities and investment. Commercial solutions will be represented at the meeting, with industry attendees representing a growing international fighter market worth an estimated £22.7 billion this year.

Everyone anticipates the freedom that comes with summer. There is the lack of responsibility, time to lounge and to spend with family and friends. For some, summer is a great time to pick up a new hobby or a new book. Here are just a few recommendations of good reads this summer:
1. "Divergent"
Veronica Roth's "Divergent" is an action-packed dystopian novel. The adventure unfolds in an alternative, post-apocalyptic Chicago. The main character, Tris Prior, is exploring this new society where people are identified by five different factions. Readers also get a glimpse of romance between Tris and her trainer, Four. This highly-rated book is filled with excitement and will keep you interested the whole way through. It also gives some background to the movie "Divergent," which was based on the novel and released in March of this year.
Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl" is an intense thriller that you will not be able to put down. On the morning of Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary, Amy goes missing. Nick Dunne is wrapped up in the middle and has the community questioning how well they know their neighbors and whether Nick is behind his wife's disappearance. As Nick tries to defend his innocence, the story unfolds into an incredibly well-written page turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through.
When author Cheryl Strayed finds herself at her lowest point after the loss of her mother, her marriage and her family at only 22 years old, she decides it is time to do something for herself. After four years she makes the impulsive decision to journey alone across the Pacific Crest Trail for over one thousand miles, with no training and no previous experience. Strayed travels from the Mojave Desert, through California and Oregon to Washington State. The book tells her incredible experience and is filled with suspense, humor and strength.
4. "The Glass Castle"
This memoir by Jeanette Walls spent countless weeks in the New York Times Bestseller list and has received great reviews across the board. The story of Jeanette's upbringing talks about her stubborn, non-conforming parents, her poverty-stricken childhood, and ultimately her escape. Walls tells how she and her siblings were forced to fend for themselves with a selfish mother and an alcoholic father, and how she was able to get away. The storyline is hard to follow at times, but Walls emphasizes unconditional love, despite her hardships.
This novel takes a unique stance, told from a dog's point of view. Author Garth Stein writes a book about a dog named Enzo, who believes in a Mongolian legend that a dog who is prepared will come back as a human in their next life. His owner, Denny Swift, who is a race car driver and representative at a high-end car dealership, is helped along the way by his loyal companion. Enzo's journey to become human is a fascinating one and will keep readers intrigued by this unusual but heartwarming story of a man's best friend.

Paul Henry's commitment to Ole Miss surprised many two weeks ago.
The 6-foot-7 270-pound lineman from Fort Smith, Ark., said only days before his trip to Ole Miss' camp that he had no favorites and wouldn't rush to a decision. That changed when he arrived at Ole Miss one-day camp on June 3 and committed to Ed Orgeron and the Rebels on the spot.
Sometimes camp commitments are a flash in the pan and prospects will back off those decisions almost immediately. Two weeks later though Henry says he's still solid to Ole Miss, and that's even after a trip to Fayetteville.
"I still feel comfortable with my decision," Henry said. "Coach O said he can't wait to get me down there." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

MIAMI (AP)—Heat guard Mario Chalmers was sent home Wednesday from the NBA's mandatory rookie transition program for violating unspecified league rules.
Both the Heat and Chalmers' agent, Sam Goldfeder, confirmed to The Associated Press that Chalmers left the program. Neither would divulge the reasons why the former Kansas star, who hit the overtime-forcing jumper in the Jayhawks' win over Memphis in the national championship game five months ago, was asked to depart early.
"I'm in the process of investigating what exactly is going on," Goldfeder said.
The Heat said they are also investigating.

- Stockroom Supply flatmaster 24-inch
- Brand: Stockroom Supply | Category: Sanders
I know there are a couple of reviews on the Flatmaster Sander but I thought I would give my impressions of my new 24 inch Flatmaster. I have had this sander for about 4 months now and have run many different projects and wood types on it and it does a great job. Unlike most drum sanders, it is a hand feed sander so some will be turned off immediately but they would be missing a great sander.
I purchased the ready made metal cabinet version. There are other various forms of the sander in kit form. The sander came almost completely assembled, you need to add your own motor and control switch. I used a Grizzly 1/2 HP motor and switch. This sander uses hook and loop on the drum and when it is set up correctly does not create any heat in the paper, so no resin buildup. I made several end grain cutting boards for Christmas presents and the Flatmaster was a life saver, sanding these smooth and flat.
The great thing about this sander is it will make things flat, thus the name. Everything registers off the flat metal table top, so it will actually work to make something flat. As you know when you have a thinner piece of wood, that is cupped or warped, it will flex when you work with it and it's almost impossible to make it flat again. This sander can actually make it flat again, without vastly changing the piece, if it's not to badly out of shape.
I did a photo transfer to a piece of 3/8 in Birch and after the procedure it had a slight cup to it. I was able to use light pressure, so the piece wouldn't flex and brought it back to flat with my sander. The sander also doesn't leave any dust in the grain of the wood, so a quick wipe and you can go right to the finish process. Dust collection is also very good. Everything falls into the V shaped bottom and is easily pulled out with your DC. I highly recommend giving this sander a try, if you are looking for sanding help in your shop.

Good information in this review. I've been looking to a practical solution for end-grain cutting boards without breaking the bank. Approximately how long does it take to sand one on this? Using a ROS takes me about an hour to an hour and half of mind numbing boredom.
#3 posted 01-14-2014 12:42 AM
I used 120 grit paper and then switched to 180 grit. I did 2 boards in about 45 minutes but 1 of my boards had some shift on a couple of rows during glue up and that board took me about 40 minutes by itself to make it all flat. I could have gone to 80 grit paper for that one board but I knew the 120 would get the job done. I then final sanded with my ROS using 220 grit. The boards came out great and as I said I was very impressed with the job this sander does.
I received the wings I ordered but haven't tried them out yet. They are very easy to set up and I think they will be a nice addition to the sander.

Great review, I have had the 18 inch model for years now. I then bought a delta 18/36 drum sander to go along with stockrooms sander. This is when I realized how much I liked my Stockroom sander compared to my delta… I soon got over the manual portion when comparing results.

Just an update. I have used the wings several times now and I like them. It makes getting the piece from the other side a little harder but they really work well for holding an even pressure while moving the piece through, especially with wide and longer pieces. I would say they are well worth getting

I made a 24" from a kit offered by the same company. Works great. The only thing I wish I had done was bought their top. I make my own and I'm not sure if it's exactly flat. It's made from a piece of baltic birch with a formica top. In spite of the top I really like it.

The course selection process begins with current freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Each grade level attends a presentation where we review CNUSD's graduation requirements, and post-secondary options and requirements. Students need to sign up for classes online using their Q Student Connect account during the enrollment window. Students then meet individually with their counselor to review their selected courses, discuss academic progress towards graduation and UC/CSU A-G Eligibility Requirements for applying to four year universities.
Each year, Santiago's Counseling Department hosts the Incoming Freshman Parent Night. Freshman Parent Night is an opportunity for parents and students to receive important information about registering and selecting classes. Counselors visit the local feeder schools (CHIS, ECMS, HGA and CFIS) to meet with incoming freshmen to review the courses they have selected.

NFL draft: Eagles trade up to draft USC's Barkley
Philadelphia • While Matt Barkley's stock dropped around the league, Chip Kelly saw a guy he coveted.
Kelly made sure he got his man Saturday when the Philadelphia Eagles traded up to select the Southern California quarterback with the first pick of the fourth round. Barkley joins Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Dennis Dixon, giving the Eagles an obvious quarterback controversy.
"I'm going to come in and compete," Barkley said. "Has to be your mindset. Compete like it's your job."
Barkley was chosen with the 98th overall pick. Philadelphia gave Jacksonville a fourth-round pick (101) and a seventh-rounder (210) to move ahead of Kansas City and take Barkley.
"We're going to take the best value on the board," Kelly said, adding the Eagles rated Barkley in the top 50. "There's a prime example. The best value on the board by far was Matt. He's an extremely mature young man, intelligent, articulate. He has that 'it' factor."
Former Eagles coach Andy Reid, now the Chiefs' coach, likely would've taken Barkley at 99 and also tried to move up to get him at 98.
"I wasn't going to be on the board long today, and the Chiefs were definitely looking to trade up, but the Eagles beat them to it," Barkley said.
Barkley could've been a top-five pick if he left school after his junior year, but he returned as a Heisman Trophy front-runner with a chance to lead USC to a national championship. Neither happened, and Barkley finished his career watching his teammates play in a bowl game from the sideline with his arm in a sling after sustaining a shoulder injury.
"I try not to get stressed about things I can't control," Barkley said when asked about his drop in the draft. "I'm just glad I know where my home is, and I can't wait to hit the playbook."
Barkley rewrote the conference record book during a USC-record 47 starts over four seasons, becoming the Pac-12's leader in touchdown passes, yards passing, completions and total offense. He impressed Kelly in four games against Oregon.
"I've seen his skill-set up close and personal four times, and he's answered the bell four times," said Kelly, who left Oregon to join the Eagles after Reid was fired following a 4-12 season.

It's the day after another exciting Super Bowl win for the New York Giants (I have the state right, but once again the wrong favorite team — Jets), and you can bet some Wall Street players were a bit slower to get out of the gate this morning. Couple that with some European economic concerns this morning, and the averages were in for a bit of a struggle to gain traction.
Earnings results helped push down shares of Humana (HUM) (read their report here) and Sysco Foods (SYY) (report here), while toymaker Hasbro (HAS) rallied after seeing an early dip on their earnings numbers. Wall Street analyst downgrades pulled down stocks like State Street Corp (STT), Amgen (AMGN), and PNC Financial (PNC). Bucking today's weakness were shares of Walt Disney (DIS), which caught some positive analyst commentary and is slated to come out with earnings numbers this week.
During the latest rally (the Dow is up 17.5% since early October), analyst opinions about how high the market can go tend to hit a crescendo — almost like clockwork — before the next pullback. Most pundits point to a better-than-expected economic recovery for the bullish bias.
Has the economy really recovered, though? The answer depends on who you talk to. Those who are well-off probably see things in a positive light. People who are still struggling to pay the bills, however, likely see things very differently. I doubt many workers who have been unemployed for multiple years will buy the argument than things have gotten much better.
From an investing perspective, we have plenty of anecdotes to derive information from. Things like earnings reports, economic data points, surveys, etc. can all shape the way we think about the economy. The business media certainly never hesitates to ask market-watchers to chime in on these topics. What bugs me is when I read super-bullish articles after the market has already put together a big run. This trend tends to get traders in near market tops, rather than reinforcing a bit of patience in the near-term. But that's the game. I understand why it happens, and have gotten used to it after my many years in the markets.
Getting ultra bullish is not a requirement if you're looking to put money to work in a prudent fashion. Common sense and consistency work best when it comes to building long-term wealth. Whenever the media's message is that "the train is leaving the station," you can bet investors (and definitely day traders) could be in for a bit of short-term pain rather than gain. Consider these points if you feel your emotions influencing your market judgement.Bloomberg: "Rick's Imports Strippers for Indianapolis"
Yes, you read that right. Believe it or not, the above was an actual headline on Bloomberg.com this past Friday. In fact, it was the third headline down in their "top stories" box!
I naturally wondered what the investment implications were for this article. Granted, gentleman's club operator Rick's Cabaret Inc. (RICK) does trade on the Nasdaq, but the story was simply something related to this past weekend's Super Bowl. Now I know Bloomberg.com has been a trusted business news source for many years, and will remain so, but to make the storyline above a key headline? Come on now.
Anyone that reads my newsletters knows I shake my head often when I talk about business media today and the "cheap pop" tactics that are in place to bring in ratings. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of talented people who produce great commentary for viewers, but there exists a lot of amateur-hour work as well. In some cases, I look at the information as no better than local news coverage. Anyone that relies on the local news to break down economic and business stories is likely going to get nothing more than a generic, watered-down overview of where things stand.
As I always say, you should find yourself a few key sources that can keep you focused on building wealth. Consider what really matters to your bottom line, and leave the sideshows to others who think entertainment is essential to their investing results.Our Beat The Markets with Dividend Stocks eBook Has Arrived!

The Solunar Model charts are seasonal charts. A standard seasonal chart averages the prices action of previous years to show a market's tendancy to rise or fall during certain times of the solar calendar year – that is the "Sol" in Solunar. The Solunar Model differs, in that the years which are averaged are only those where the lunar phase is close to the current year being forecast. The primary component is the nineteen year Metonic cycle, named after the Greek, Meton, who noticed it. That nineteen year period subdivides into eight and eleven year components, what the Greeks called the ogdoas and hendekas. The Solunar Model charts work better in some market than others – and they oscillate between periods of irrelevance and uncanny accuracy. In 2012, the Solunar Model for crude oil has been simply amazing. But of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Here's the crude oil Solunar Model chart published on March 22, 2012

|Fatty Acids in Breast Milk Associated with Asthma-Like Symptoms and Atopy in Infancy: A Longitudinal Study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22991928 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objective. The relationship between fatty acids (FAs) in breast milk and the risk of childhood allergies is controversial. We prospectively investigated the relationship between FAs in colostrum and breast milk and asthma-like symptoms (AS) and atopy in infancy. Methods. Pregnant women were recruited in Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina. Colostrum and mature milk samples were collected. The concentrations of n-3 FAs (eicosapentaenoic acid, α-linolenic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid) and n-6 FAs (linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, and eicosadienoic acid) were determined by gas chromatography. AS were ascertained at 6 and 12 months of age and atopy (skin prick test) at 12 months. FAs were dichotomized (high vs. median and low). Generalized estimating equations were used to determine the effect of FAs on repeated AS, compensating for intra-individual correlations and adjusting for confounders. Log-linear regression was used to analyze atopy. Results. FAs were analyzed in 24 colostrum and 78 breast milk samples. High levels of total n-6 (lipid based) FAs in breast milk were associated with an increased risk of AS in infants (risk ratio (RR) = 2.91; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.37, 6.18), even after controlling for total n-3 FAs (RR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.12, 3.85). High levels of total n-3 FAs controlling for n-6 FAs decreased the risk of atopy at the age of 12 months. Conclusions. High levels of total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in breast milk are associated with an increased risk for AS, whereas high levels of total n-3 PUFAs decreased the risk of atopy. These data suggest that the effects of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs on allergic disorders should be further explored.

Breakfast with the Dirt Cult
Item Description
"I'm going to make a pinkie-swear with you right here and now, Tom Walton; when, not if, you return from Afghanistan, you must come up here and I will have a mad passionate affair with you..." With this proposal, Thomas Walton, an infantry soldier in Alpha Company, Second Platoon, arrives at the threshold of events that will change his life forever. Breakfast with the Dirt Cult chronicles the days of love and war in the life of Tom Walton. Torn between a beautiful, bibliophilic, Canadian ex-stripper and the hunt for Al-Qaeda in the mountains of Afghanistan, Walton finds himself forced to grapple with being a young man in the days of modernity. While Breakfast with the Dirt Cult has been written as a novel, it is based on a true story. The names have been changed and the chronology has been condensed for the sake of editing.

Hosting WC may not be so BraziliantComment on this story
Rio de Janeiro – The World Cup will cost Brazil more than $11 billion, a sum that sparked angry protests and sent economists dashing for new data on an old question: is hosting global sports events worth it?
The protesters who have taken to the streets, sometimes violently, say Brazil would be better off spending on education, health and transport – areas where the gaping divide between rich and poor is most conspicuous in this sprawling country of 200 million people.
But Brazil's leaders say hosting the tournament is about more than building stadiums and throwing a party.
"The Cup is not an economic panacea but a catalyst for Brazilian development," tourism minister Vinicius Lages told AFP. "It was a key factor behind Brazil finally overhauling its infrastructure."
He predicted the event would add about $13.6 billion this year to the Brazilian economy – the world's seventh-largest at $2.25 trillion – thanks to a tidal wave of foreign and domestic tourists.
Then there is the long-term effect.
According to a 2012 report by consulting firm E&Y and the Getulio Vargas Foundation, a Brazilian economics institute, the cup "will produce a surprising cascading effect on investments".
The report estimated the Cup and 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro will between them create 3.6 million jobs and add four percentage points a year to economic growth through 2019.
But it also warned that Brazil must ensure the benefits accrue to the entire population.
E&Y said Brazil would be judged on its ability to "capitalise on the Cup's legacies, turning them into permanent assets" thereby "reaching another socioeconomic and structural level".
The experts are not unanimous.
In March, a report by ratings agency Moody's forecast the World Cup would have a negligible effect on the economy, given Brazil's sluggish growth since 2011.
Senior analyst Barbara Mattos said the tournament "will provide short-lived sales increases that are unlikely to materially affect earnings".
Meanwhile, she warned, "disruptions associated with traffic, crowding and lost work days will take a toll on business".
Studies show little long-term financial gain from sports extravaganzas, said Wolfgang Maennig, an economics professor at Hamburg University in Germany.
"There have been many investigations into the benefits derived from World cups and Olympics, mostly showing that any benefit is just temporary," said Maennig.
"For Germany (in 2006) there were high hopes but in the end people said: 'Great event, great fun but did we gain financially? No.'"
Maennig, an Olympic rowing champion in 1988, said Brazil's decision to build some of its shiny new stadiums in far-flung host cities with no discernible footballing tradition was "politically understandable – but absurd in terms of pure economics."
Then there are the intangibles that are impossible to calculate accurately.
Maennig said a repeat of mass protests like those that marred last year's Confederations Cup, a World Cup warm-up tournament, could nullify any financial gains by damaging Brazil's brand.
"If there is violence, that will be a huge negative for Brazil's image. But if Brazil can show it is a friendly country, then that would be a huge plus," he said.
Brazil expects 600 000 foreigners and 3.1 million domestic tourists to attend the tournament, spending an estimated $2 500 each.
If things go well, there is plenty of room for long-term tourism growth.
Despite world-famous attractions ranging from its rainforests to its beaches to its Carnival, the country received just six million tourists last year. The Eiffel Tower alone received two million more.
Professor Rafael Alcadipani, a World Cup specialist and the Getulio Vargas Foundation, said the economy was struggling compared to when Brazil was awarded the Cup seven years ago.
"Then, it seemed Brazil was finally getting its act together. But people underestimated the costs, the public cash thrown at stadiums of doubtful long-term value," he told AFP.
"I think a more modest and concentrated event would give a better result."
President Dilma Rousseff, who is up for reelection in October, says Brazilians should welcome the legacy of Cup-related investment.
"Nobody coming here will put the airports, ports, urban mobility schemes, stadiums in their suitcase when they leave. This is our legacy," she insisted.
But her chief of staff Gilberto Carvalho admits in the wake of ongoing protests that the government has been "incompetent in having a dialogue with Brazilian society regarding the World Cup".
Lages called for patience on all sides.
"We must not over-inflate expectations. This is about long-term planning," said the tourism minister.
Sergio Bampi, a computer science professor and logistics expert at Rio Gande do Sul federal university in the southern host city of Porto Alegre, meanwhile urged realism.
"The thing many people don't realise is that Brazil does things in its own fashion. This is not Europe," he told AFP. – Sapa-AFP

Netscape browser support to end in February
updated 02:45 pm EST, Fri December 28, 2007
Netscape death in Feb.
All support for Netscape web browsers will stop as of February 1st, the AOL-owned company has announced. Security updates will continue to be developed until that date, but afterwards, users will only be able to download archived versions of browsers such as Navigator. The company is instead pushing users towards Mozilla's Firefox, as the group was a creation of Netscape reaching back to 1999, to which AOL soon decided to provide backing. Firefox and Navigator have often shared close connections, to the extent that Navigator 9 became little more than a re-skinned version of its cousin.
Netscape's web browser was at one point dominant in the public space, and for many people the first browser they ever used. Its death knell was sounded with the introduction of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which came bundled with Windows 95, and eventually matched its rival's features. Navigator thus became redundant, although not before triggering an infamous anti-trust case that saw Windows opened more widely to third-party software.

here were a lot of record-breaking numbers in the world of Magic this past week, but most of them happened away from the Top 25 Pro Rankings. Richmond was the venue for the crazy-huge Grand Prix that saw over 4,300 competitors sleeve up their Modern deck of choice across an epic two days of competition. That any well-known names managed to claw their way to the Top 8 was impressive; that Oscar Jones, Jamie Parke, Josh McClain, Ben Friedman, and Luis Scott-Vargas all made it to the knockout rounds was frankly astonishing.
It wasn't to be a weekend for the big names, however. By the semifinals, only Jones was left, having defeated Josh McClain in the quarters. Even so, that performance was enough to make McClain our one major mover in the rankings this week. He has certainly taken advantage of his much-noted excellence in the Modern format, first barnstorming his way into the Top 25 during Pro Tour Born of the Gods, and then leapfrogging Lee Shi Tian, Paul Rietzl, and Martin Juza up to No. 16 from his Richmond Modern performance.
His conqueror Jones would himself be bested in the semifinals by Brian Liu, while Affinity players Vipin Chackonal and Michael Sigrist went at it in the other final four matchup. Chackonal emerged, but it was Brian Liu who came away with the title.
So, on a weekend where most of the Top 25 were either buried under the weight of 4,303 competitors, or were taking a well-deserved weekend off, Jérémy Dezani remains on top of the pile, with a stack of American talent hot on his heels. Join us again next week for another look at the Magic Top 25 Pro Rankings.

Another fun run
Andrea and I made a trek to Des Moines, Iowa, recently for a return engagement in the Dam-to-Dam race, where we were among 3,000 runners in the downtown 5K (3.1 miles) that ran across the Des Moines River and past the beautiful state capitol. The actual Dam-to-Dam event is a 20K race traversing the area and involving over 7,000 runners (the 20K is the nation's largest at that length, and the 5K is Iowa's biggest). It was challenging to navigate such a large crowd of runners, but as always we had a great time and are looking forward to many more races this summer and fall.
Preview program set for Colorado trip
We have scheduled a preview program for the September 2014 Colorado train trip, which is already generating considerable interest. The program will be here at the Farm Bureau on Monday September 23 at 7 p.m., and Tony from Lindstrom Travel in Rockford will be here to present all the details on this fascinating trip. Tentative details are posted at stephensoncfb.org, and the finalized flyer will be posted when complete. Give us a call at 815-232-3186 for more information.
Page 2 of 2 - Mark your calendar
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Stephenson County Barn Tour, the annual fundraiser for the Conservation & Agricultural Partners (CAP) Foundation to support Ag-in-the-Classroom programs in Stephenson County. A special program and lineup of barns is being planned for Sunday, Oct. 13, featuring a presentation by Rick Collins of Trillium Dell Timberworks near Knoxville, Ill.
Rick and his crew do complete restorations of older historic barns as well as new timber frame construction of homes, businesses, etc., and they have completed projects all over the globe. I heard him speak several years ago and it was fascinating — I could have listened for several hours! They even disassemble old barns, move them into their shop for restoration, and reassemble them on the original site.
Mark your calendar for this event, and watch for details to follow!
Stroke Detection Plus
After yet another full session recently, we're pleased to welcome Stroke Detection Plus back to the Farm Bureau from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 31, for another round of their timely, non-invasive screenings to determine your risk for stroke or other issues due to arterial blockages.
Call SDP at 877-732-8258 to schedule your appointment, and remember that Farm Bureau members save $35 off the regular price of $135 for the complete package of tests. If you're not already a FB member, this is a great way to begin adding value to that membership.
The Missiles have launched
Congratulations to the Milledgeville Lady Missiles softball team on winning the IHSA Class 1A girls' softball championship last week, representing the first state title in any sport for the Carroll County school. It once again confirms the depth of talent and character represented by the many fine schools in northwest Illinois that continue to achieve athletic excellence on the state level. Well done!
Bruce Johnson is the manager of the Stephenson County Farm Bureau.

You asked me what i thought of you.
You are a talented caring individual who has been treated apon by a society that does not comprehend what feelings you and others around you are going through.
Blinded by the distortion of what this abnormal society dares call normal. the normal way to behave.
Stray too far from this picture perfect person and one can becomes depressed, because of a failure to match up tp the models on the runway
Those who are often seeking perfection are so close, yet so far to what they wish to be.
Perfection i human kind simply cannot be. we where not designed to be perfect. we where desighed to be thinkers, makers, creators, and only within our Hundreds of successes are there millions of errors.
This perfection of which many seek is not within the skinny models and muscled men on te news,
To be perfect is not just be unrealistic, it is to not e human at all.
So just keep trying, because you may be crazy.
But im crazy too.

Apple Computer Inc. is on the defensive in Europe for the second time in as many weeks as the company prepares to battle The Beatles' record label in the United Kingdom's highest court for its right to distribute music online.
Apple will go before a judge in London this week to determine whether iTunes online music violates an agreement the company made with Apple Corps, which claims the service infringes on a15-year-old agreement. It is the third time the company that holds rights to Beatles music has taken Steve Jobs' company to court over its name.
The suit seeks an injunction on Apple's music sales and compensation for past sales. Though some media have reported both talks of a settlement are already in the works, neither company has released a statement on the topic. Representatives from the Apple companies could not be reached Monday.
The British company first sued the computer maker over the Apple name 15 years ago and settled for $80,000 and an agreement the computer company would avoid the music business. Eight years later, the company sued again when Macs became tools for recording and mixing music files. Again, the California company settled with the U.K. company - this time paying more than $25 million and agreeing not to distribute compact discs or other music recordings.
Now, the question is: Does that agreement apply to online music file transfers?
The battle is the second front that opened in Apple's European
operations in two weeks. Last week, the lower house of French
parliament passed a bill that would
require all music files to be interoperable. Apple is fighting that

While Apple growing influence in the music industry has worried execs, a new report claims that the company has become an unexpected power broker as the popularity of its iTunes software increases. With the growing value of the digital real-estate available on iTunes, the company has chosen not sell that prime promotional space, but instead use it to barter for exclusive track offerings, discount pricing, and additional exclusive content. The Wall Street Journal reports that the one million daily visitors to the iTunes Store home page are presented with several dozen albums, TV shows and movie downloads and that of the Cupertino-based company's catalog of more than four million, only a a few dozen are adorned on home page.

Research firm WR Hambrecht has officially initiated coverage on Apple Inc., and has issued a "buy" rating with a $110 price target on shares of the Cupertino-based company. "Apple has a very impressive desktop and notebook offering that continues to grow faster than the industry and command higher average selling prices, an iPod franchise that dominates the category and represented almost half of the total company revenue in the strongest quarter in its history (December 2006), a new operating system due out shortly that is expected to help facilitate operating both Mac OS X and Windows operating system through virtualization software, an upcoming iPhone offering in the approximately one billion unit total cellphone market and numerous other products and initiatives in place and ongoing."
In brief: Cingular sets up iPhone alert mail, MacNN reviews the U-Cover Keyboard Protector, Aspyr launches a page for The Sims Life Stories, and Delkin prepares an ultra-fast CompactFlash reader. Though the iPhone is already expected to be released sometime in June, a new service from Cingular will let customers know the exact date as soon as possible. An e-mail will be sent to any interested party when the company is ready to announce an official date. Users concerned about spam and privacy should consult Cingular's policy, which does appear to protect subscribers.
Boinx Software today released FotoMagico 2, adding new ways to share photos presentations as standalone players or as Mac OS X screensavers. Users can present FotoMagico shows in the same high quality that the application can without requiring the viewer to download or install software, and without a FotoMagico license. The update makes the software easier to use, according to Boinx, and shows are rendered in real-time to maintain small file sizes when compared to HD video. Standalone players and screensavers start the show as soon as they are opened and can be configured to expire after a specified period of time or after playing a certain number of times. Additionally, the pricing for FotoMagico 2 has dropped from $80 to $50 (system requirements were unavailable).
A relative unknown in the realm of phones, TORQ is nevertheless developing the P175, its latest Pocket PC. It will run Windows Mobile 5.0 on a 520MHz Intel processor, and have 64MB of RAM and 128MB of ROM; the display is a 2.7-inch QVGA model with 262,000 colors. It should also be fairly modest in the realm of connectivity, supporting just tri-band GSM, EDGE broadband and 802.11b/g; other devices will link up through Bluetooth 1.2 or USB. A miniSD slot is provided for storage, though this is mainly to save photos from the 2-megapixel camera, since there is no mention of music playback. The primary advantage of the phone is likely to be price, since TORQ expects it to retail for $250-300 at an unspecified date. [via The Boy Genius Report]
Apple's marketing efforts are some of the most effective in the world, notes Jefferson Graham of USA Today. Central may be the company's ability to exploit the news media, which often covers Apple product releases as major events; the Harvard Business School's David Yoffie observes that the Steve Jobs iPhone announcement received the equivalent of $400 million in free publicity. "It's unprecedented," says Joffie. Part of the reason for this is the company's track record of invention, says Graham, but there are other less savory reasons, such as an intense campaign for product placement in movies and TV shows. Apple also casts rivals like Microsoft as enemies, and is known to value its "surprise" factor so highly that it will sue websites that reveal information prematurely. The company does however have more accepted tactics, such as memorable TV advertising, and an emphasis on spectacle when it holds public events.
Apple is preparing to outfit its Macs with hardware that would accelerate decoding and encoding video, according to Robert Cringely of PBS. The columnist claims that every Mac to be released in 2007 will at some point include a chipset that offloads the tasks of rendering videos from the CPU, guaranteeing a minimum level of quality across every system.
Imporantly, Cringely adds, the hardware will be used to let Macs double as PVRs, converting live TV into H.264 videos to be shared across other devices. The hardware could also be used to improve the quality of video chats and for streaming home TV over the Internet as with the Slingbox. These tasks could even be handled in the background without the user even noticing.
Agfa has contributed its own share to the camera announcements at the PMA photo expo by unveiling the DC-630i for the US. The budget 6-megapixel camera appeals directly to first-time photographers with just enough important features to help compose their initial shots: face tracking picks out as many as three people to focus on in a shot, and potentially blurry shots are fixed through ISO-based shake correction. A 2.5-inch LCD at the back, a 3X optical zoom lens, and support for storage using SD or SDHC cards finish up the design.
The DC-630i was initially announced only for Europe, but is now set to appear in the US by April, when it should retail for $169. Click for a profile image after the break.
Flip4Mac has released Drive-in, a new application enabling users to store personal DVD movie libraries on a Mac. Users can create an image of a DVD disc on a laptop or home entertainment system, preserving quality and navigation as well as special features on the original DVD for playback on Apple's DVD Player or Front Row software. Drive-in preserves the DVD's original content copy protection, allowing users to play images on any computer they own but not share those images with others. The software is designed to simplify the way users search and access videos, adding information such as DVD cover art and names of actors or movie descriptions. The software is available as a public beta that requires mac OS X 10.4 or later.
In brief: M-Audio today announced that all X-Session Pro owners are eligible to receive a free copy of Torq LE, nova media has released iSync phone plug-ins 3.3.9 with support for Samsung phones, and Duel Systems has begun shipping its unique DualAdapter that plugs into ExpressCard 34 or 54 slots to treat externally connected PC cards as though they were native devices. HoMedics has unveiled the iSoundSpa clock for iPod, and Creative has launched two new iPod speaker docks in Japan. M-Audio is offering all X-Session Pro owners a free copy of Torq LE, a light version of its Torq DJ software. X-Session Pro owners can head to the X-Session Pro page on m-audio.com to register and download the software for free.
Panasonic intends to launch a digital SLR camera targeted at a wide audience, the company's camera planning manager Ichiro Kitao said at the PMA photography expo. The firm hopes to expand its Lumix SLR cameras beyond the pro-oriented $2,000 L1K by introducing a low-cost model for photographers just moving beyond fixed-lens cameras. Its features will be at least as powerful as the L1K in most areas, Kitao said: a 10-megapixel sensor, live preview LCD, image stabilization, and a dust removal system are certain to be part of the camera. It should also ship with a Leica lens and support the Four Thirds mounts used by Olympus lenses.
Home theater designer Arcam today launched the rDock. As an alternative to other cradles for the iPod, the rDock is claimed to be the first to truly satisfy audiophiles. Its construction and materials are influenced by dedicated home stereo gear, and include a pre-amp as well as a low-interference power supply. The iPod's power is also carefully managed to preserve audio quality -- since even recharging the iPod can interfere, Arcam says, the charging system automatically shuts down when the battery is full. Despite this, listeners can also connect any dockable iPod to more sources through increased output options, including native RCA stereo output as well as RCA and S-video jacks for image-capable iPods. The rDock should be available in the UK now for the equivalent of $231.
Celrun promised a multi-talented device on Friday with its upcoming FDN-2700 GPS unit. While a 7-inch touchscreen mapping system designed primarily for cars, the system also incorporates a tuner for both digital TV from DMB-based channels and digital radio from DAB stations and will even display the entertainment alongside navigation to keep one from interrupting the other. The receiver also accepts TPEG terrestrial broadcasts for live traffic alerts. An SD card slot loads map information and serves as a loading point for MP3 songs.
Listed only as "coming soon," no prices or launch dates have been made available. The 2700 is likely to remain in its native Korea without significant changes. The company has not explained the choice of an Apple logo for its media playback section. [via AVING]
EI Technology Group has released version of 6.6.1 of the Universal Binary version of the Electric Image Animation System (EIAS). The update, now available for immediate download, takes advantage of the advancements in the new generation of Intel-based Macs for "astonishing speed and performance" improvements over previous EIAS versions on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs. "The speed improvement of Electric Image Animation System 6.6 on the new Macintosh Intel computer is simply astonishing," remarks Matt Hoffman, Vice President of Development . "Now with our update to 6.6.1 we have the speed and stability customers expect from our animating and rendering software. EIAS continues to be the world's fastest rendering engine all the while producing some of the most breathtaking imagery in 3D." It is a free update for v6.6 users and is available for $700; upgrades are $100 for v6.5 users. Customers with versions prior to 6.0 may upgrade for $400.

Its construction and materials are influenced by dedicated home stereo gear, and include a pre-amp as well as low-interference power supplies. The iPod's power is also carefully managed to preserve audio quality.

Listeners can also hook up any dockable iPod directly to more sources through increased output options, including native RCA stereo output as well as RCA and S-video jacks for image-capable iPods. The rDock should be available in the UK now for the equivalent of $231. [via Tech Digest]
FastMac today unveiled the expansion of its TruePower line with a 65-watt AC adapter designed specifically for Apple PowerBook G4 and iBook laptops. The TruePower adapter provides constant wattage output that meets or exceeds Apple-branded adapters, according to FastMac, and features a built-in LED indicator. The compact design is compatible with all PowerBook G4 Titanium and Aluminum 12-, 15-, and 17-inch models as well as iBook G3 and G4 laptops. The TruePower adapter will begin shipping next week, and is available for pre-order for $36. The adapter comes with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day guarantee.
Google may be on the verge of introducing a search technology that could tie into the next generation of phones, according to a recently discovered patent granted to the Web developer. Officially titled "Nonstandard locality-based text entry," the technique would have a phone's Google search tool determine what the owner is looking for based on cues from the hardware itself, such as a GPS receiver or the internal clock.
A device could recommend several options for nearby stores and change those recommendations based on the time of day. Search and text messaging histories would also become relevant by helping the engine recommend particular locations or services.
A new device developed at Purdue University should finally allow mobile, non-invasive substance analysis, much like the tricorders used in Star Trek, says EETimes. The unnamed prototype is essentially a portable mass spectrometer, the key innovation being the use of an ion trap, which lets users place the scanner next to the target. Current spectrometers often require samples to be physically inserted. The Purdue device is also substantially lighter, weighing a mere 20 pounds compared to 300-pound units in some airports, and still fits a hard drive and Windows-based control system. If mass-produced it could also cost as little as $2,000, Purdue scientists say, and be used in everything from food testing to medical scans. The first commercial rollout of the device is in progress, but is only intended for laboratories.
Palm, a manufacturer of smarphones which could lose considerable market share to Apple when the iPhone ships in June, has hired former Apple engineer Paul Mercer to create a new line of products. While details of the new products remain secret, the recent recruiting effort suggests a direct response to Apple's iPhone. Mercer, who was swooped up by Palm just three weeks ago, is best-known for designing the Finder interface in the Mac OS 7 operating system. Mercer also founded Pixo, the company whose software backbone was responsible for the initial interface behind the iPod, according to Electronista and the New York Times. The 3GSM cellular phone expo in Barcelona last month is rumored to have centered around Apple's forthcoming handset, despite the Cupertino-based company's lack of attendance at the event.
Apple's iPods and Mac systems playback music with better sound quality than hi-fi CD systems, according to AVI's Ashley James. James cautions that Apple products are nowhere near perfect, but notes that "there are some CD players from prominent manufacturers that are miles worse. They're so bad that from the moment they're on -- if you came into this room with one of these CD players I'm telling you about -- you'd know there was something wrong with it. You wouldn't know what it was, but you'd just say 'that's bloody terrible'." The difference in quality and convenience is apparently causing CD players to lose market share, according to James. Further issues affecting sales of CD players include failed copy protection schemes, as well as the tendency for CD player mechanisms to fail.
Apple's iPhone, which is due to launch in June, could fall short of heightened expectations in the near-term due to its small potential market, according to Forbes.com. The market for the iPhone is, at first glance, quite appealing with worldwide handset sales expected to top more than 1 billion in 2007, but Apple's goal of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008 could prove to be wishful thinking. A closer look at the handset market shows the iPhone's price as too high for many customers, placing it right alongside other smartphones like the BlackBerry that account for just 10 percent of handset sales. Additionally, Apple's choice to offer the iPhone exclusively through Cingular further narrows its potential customer base, enabling only those users whose contracts are near expiration and die-hard fans willing to cancel current contracts for a penalty as likely customers. Nevertheless, Apple could create its own market as it did with the iPod in 2001, or generate enough buzz around the iPhone's features to create a "must have" mentality in the minds of customers who wouldn't have normally spent $499 or even $599 for a smartphone.
The Square One by Quad Micro Works is a part of the growing trend of file servers aimed at home users. The difference, however, is that the Square can also be used as an 802.11g router and print server; knowledgable users can turn it into an FTP or Apache web server. The Square is Vista and Mac OS X compatible, and holds up to 320GB, which can be accessed either via wireless or through six Ethernet ports. Camera users will appreciate the eight-in-one card reader, which enables the likes of CF and SD cards to be accessed from anywhere on a network. The server should be available now for an average cost of $399, though Amazon is selling it for $385. [via Gearlog]
Wing Inter today launched the N007 MP3 player. Reflecting the spy origins in its name, the device is a fully functional ballpoint pen but separates to reveal a full music player with MP3, WAV, and WMA music support; a nub at the top of the cap navigates tracks, while small LEDs on the side indicate its status. The pen also works as a surreptitious voice recorder and and as a data drive, the company adds.
Several versions are available that vary by storage. A 128MB model sells for $104 in Korea to those who only need a handful of files, while a 2GB edition at the top of the range retails for $209. All models come with earbuds and a coreded remote. [via AVING]
Apple's recently released 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station is capable of serving both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands, but offers better performance in one mode and improved range in the other, according to a new study. Apple's AirPort Extreme is one of two wireless routers that implement the new 802.11n standard, maintaining backward compatibility with 802.11b/g and 802.11a standard to support legacy wireless clients. According to eWeek's recent review, Apple's router does not implement channel bonding in the 2.4GHz band, thus restricting clients to using only 20MHz channels while 5GHz clients can use a full 40GHz client. "In 5GHz mode, each client would receive and transmit at the 300M bps link rate, while 2.4GHz clients could attach at only a maximum rate of 144M bps."
Palm's Treo 750 is set to receive at least a software upgrade, a photo leak has revealed. The update would see the latest smartphone from the company running Windows Mobile 6, giving it a copy of Office Mobile and the option of editing documents without needing to buy extra software through a carrier or from Microsoft.
Whether or not the phone has received any hardware changes hasn't been revealed, though the leak points to the same 300MHz processor and free memory as the current model. The source also indicates that the example version is a 750v, possibly leading to an initial launch with European carrier Vodafone. Release dates are unavailable; click through for the complete images. [via Mobility Today]
DutyCrew today launched its new Web page manufacturing system designed to help users build independent standalone websites with ease, consistency and flexibility. The software enables users to insert images as well as links to multimedia files -- including flash, MP3, and video. Uploading website components is automated, and navigation is sorted out for users while offering the flexibility to move pages and menu components unhindered. Users can export and import sites between machines as well as platforms, and can retain FTP passwords alongside server details The software is already available for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger users, comes with a backup mechanism, and is priced at �26 with a �2/month subscription fee. DustyCrew notes that its software is under development for other platforms, including Linux and Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista.
Memory maker Kingston has teamed with Global Security Alerts to create the AMBER Alert Child ID Kit. This converted 512MB DataTraveler USB flash drive includes software that stores all of a child's relevant information -- including photos, personal info, and Internet account IDs -- in a single location. The drive helps worried parents quickly get relevant information to police and others if their children ever goes missing and will automatically update itself to make sure that Internet-based information remains current.
Individual drives ship now for $30, but both involved companies encourage ordering in bulk to protect children and drop the price to $24 each when buying two or more. [via Popgadget]
Bose forthcoming Media System is a dash-mounted system that combines GPS and music functions, with a stronger emphasis on the latter. It can for instance play CDs and FM or XM radio, but more importantly, it has a 30GB hard drive which can store up to 200 hours of audio. Users can also connect and control devices such as phones and iPods using Bluetooth or USB 2.0. The primary control scheme is a pair of proximity-sensitive dials -- as users move their hand to one or the other, the dash automatically switches interfaces. It also sorts music (songs and stations) by genre for faster selection. No pricing or release dates have been set, except that the first car to use it will this year's Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. [via Navigadget]
British cell provider O2 today officially launched the XDA Graphite. Its bar phone shape belies the smartphone components at work: Windows Mobile 5 runs the device and supports both push e-mail and pocket versions of Excel, Outlook, and Word for viewing files away from the office. The Graphite is also a true 3G wireless phone that connects to the Internet through UMTS for both web browsing and video calls using the integrated front VGA camera. Bluetooth 2.0 and a rear 2-megapixel camera are also part of the package.
The graphite is on sale now through O2 and can be had for free depending on the service plan. The device was FCC-approved last year, but may require changes to see service in the US. [via Pocket-lint]
Palm is concerned enough about the iPhone to have hired a designer to improve its efforts, accorind to the New York Times' John Markoff. The fellow California-based company has recruited a former Apple engineer, Paul Mercer, with the intent of creating a new line of products. Although the details of the new project remain secret, according to Palm spokeswoman Marlene Somsak, Markoff notes that the hire took place just three weeks ago -- suggesting a direct response to the iPhone's anticipated impact.
Rake in Grass has released Jets'n'Guns Gold, a new version of the classic arcade shooter game that adds higher resolution graphics and doubles the length with more than 20 new levels. Jets'n'Guns now features over 40 levels in total, boasting seven new customizable ships and 17 new weapons. The latest iteration of the game also includes 70 new enemies, secret levels, and new comic screens, music, medals, and ranks. Players have up to 10 warbirds to choose from and can equip weapons varying from 'crazy guns' to 'ultimate devastators.' The gold edition of Jegs'n'Guns is available from Macgamestore.com for $30, and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
Telecom vet Dan Borislow today filled in early details of the magicJack, his similarly-titled company's new adapter and service hybrid. The goal is to simplify VoIP to the point where almost anyone can use it, the firm claims. Once subscribed, the only setup needed is plugging the adapter into a USB port and any analog phone into the adapter: the device automatically installs and configures itself within a minute and is ready to use from then onwards. It currently supports only Windows but will be followed by a Mac version.
NTT DoCoMo late Thursday took advantage of its home country's mobile broadband to launch the FOMA video telephone. The device connects to NTT's FOMA-based cellular Internet to deliver video calls on a 7-inch touchscreen that also doubles as the main interface for dialing. The system is made for the elderly or sick who may need to show their physical condition to a doctor, NTT says. A wireless remote bundled with the video terminal helps to this effect: a single red button is pre-assigned to a given number so that an owner can quickly dial a number in case of an emergency.
The phone has just become available in Japan as of today for an unlisted price.
Duel Systems recently began shipping its unique DuelAdapter. Simply designed as a way to use PC Card devices in newer portables, the adapter plugs into either an ExpressCard 34 or 54 slot and treats externally connected PC Cards as though they were native devices. Most any 16- or 32-bit card will work as though it were a native device (including EDGE and EVDO mobile Internet cards) and will run at full speed due to the ExpressCard bus, the company says.
The adapter installs on any ExpressCard-equipped computer using Mac OS X 10.4.8 or Windows XP and sells today for $99. A secondary adapter is also available for reading CompactFlash, SD, and other flash memory formats. [via Engadget]
While "only" ranking No. 132 on Forbes's annual list of richest billionaires, Jobs has quite a following. A new report, released along the magazine's annual billionaire listing, says that while the top billionaires are rich, they do not enjoy the fame of some lower ranked billionaires. "Names like Marriott and Benetton may be household words," the report says, "but the tycoons behind these brands nonetheless live in relative obscurity--billionaires next door whose faces are all but unrecognizable to the masses. Only a tiny fraction of billionaires hit it big on both counts, enjoying enormous wealth and fame." The article says Jobs, Apple's CEO and founder, is of "nerd-fame" and enjoys cultish celebrity status among fans of Apple. Jobs, worth $5.7 billion, has been "touted as a creative mastermind thanks to Apple's uber-successful launch of the iPod and this year's announcement of the much-anticipated iPhone."

text: Woman: 16 Days in NJ Jail a 'Death Sentence' Topless-rights activist Phoenix Feeley threatens hunger strike By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Aug 9, 2013 9:48 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (74) (Newser) – Phoenix Feeley thinks that conditions at Monmouth County Jail in New Jersey are so bad that a 16-day stay there amounts to a "death sentence." Feeley, a 33-year-old professional fire-eater, has been locked up for refusing to pay a $816 fine for going topless at Spring Lake beach in 2008. A judge handed down the 16-day sentence yesterday, the Asbury Park Press reports, in a hearing that Feeley attended via video conference from jail, clad in a jumpsuit with her arms handcuffed behind her back. "You just filed a death sentence," Feeley said. She explained that she refuses to eat the jail's food, which she describes as "inhumane, grade four, less than McDonald's." She also said that the words "help me" were scrawled on the wall of her cell in someone else's blood, and alleged that the guards had abused her, threatened her, and kept her naked in her cell. Feeley believes that it's discriminatory that men can go topless in public, but not women.
