Banks, Evansville top Brodhead to open tournament play
EVANSVILLE--It's been a roller coaster of a season for Brennen Banks and the Evansville Blue Devils.
The freshman guard and Rock Valley North Conference's third-leading scorer has endured injury and illness, but the Blue Devils are now hopeful for a healthy WIAA tournament run.
They kicked it off Tuesday by beating visiting Brodhead 58-35 in a Division 3 regional quarterfinal game.
Evansville finished just 11-11 overall in the regular season, but it has now won eight of its last 12 games.
"We started playing as a team," Blue Devils coach Steve Krupke said. "We had some injuries before Christmas that disrupted our depth, and Christmas break couldn't have come at a better time. We got healthy and went on a nice run."
It wasn't pretty on Tuesday night, but the Blue Devils' play was good enough.
They led just 10-6 after the first quarter but pulled away to lead by 13 at halftime. Evansville held Brodhead to just five baskets on 21 shot attempts in the first half.
"We were a little sloppy," Krupke said. "But we did what we had to do."
Senior Matt Sperry scored 10 of his 14 points in the first half, and sophomore post Kyle Rutkowski had eight of his 12 in the second, where the Blue Devils never led by less than 10 points.
Brodhead sophomore Ned Slocum, the RVC South's leading scorer this season, had 15 points, and Griffin Day added 11 for the Cardinals.
Banks led all scorers with 16 points. After turning heads with multiple 20-point games to open the season, a broken shooting hand curtailed his offensive stats.
Banks regained his scoring prowess during the Blue Devils' late run, but he was hit with an illness last week.
"He could handle the ball OK and play good defense, but he couldn't score (when he was hurt)," Krupke said. "He played with a splint on his shooting hand.
"The seniors, it's their team. And I know how it can be sometimes—the freshmen have to earn their stripes. But they welcomed him with open arms, and he's fit right in. The seniors want to win."
The Blue Devils advanced to earn a rematch with Lakeside Lutheran in a regional quarterfinal on Friday night. Lakeside won, 84-79, on Nov. 25.
"We need to iron some things out," Krupke said, "if we want to have a shot."

Ag group presents plans, requests support
JANESVILLE—Use of the county's logo, a letter of support and the possiblity of "future committee meetings."
Those three requests came from the Southern Wisconsin Agriculture Group (SWAG)—and were made at Thursday's meeting of the Rock County Board.
SWAG is the nonprofit organization that hopes to build a $33 million ag education, advocacy and expo center on 217 acres in Evansville.
Nicole Reese, SWAG executive director, told the board that her presentation was an update, and one of a series of informational meetings she will be holding in the next two years.
The capital campaign for the center will begin in March. The earliest date they could break ground would be in 2015.�
The group's first two requests, the logo and letter of support, are symbolic. The county's logo would be added to a page of other groups that have endorsed the idea, including the city of Evansville, Blackhawk Technical College, John Deere Co. and others.
The letter of support would be used in a similar way.
The third request, for "cooperation in the establishement of future committee meetings for project request and aid in potential grant funding," would be way for the group to raise money.
Nonprofits don't always have access to the kinds of economic development grants that muncipalities do. But Rock County Administrator Craig Knutson said he wasn't aware of any "pass-through" grants or funds that the county could use to aid the group.
Pass-through grants allow one organization to apply for� money and then pass it one to another.� For example, at Thursday's meeting the board approved a resolution to "accept funding for juvenile early intervention services."� The Wisconsin Department of Corrections awarded the county's human services department $87,415 in juvenile justice early intervention funds. �Part of that money will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Janesville and the Stateline Boys and Girls Club to providing after school programming for at risk children.
The board did not take any action on SWAG's request.
In other business, the board:
—Approved increasing base wages by 1.5 percent for county employees not represented by a baragaining unit.
The eight non-law enforcement bargaining units and one of the law enforcement bargaining units received a 1.5 percent increase earlier this year.
—Approved increasing the county administrators salary by 1.5 percent. Knutson, who is retiring later this year, receives a base salary of $129,605.� With the raise, Knutson's total compensation package comes to $200,047.
—Approved a resolution supporting the creation of new, nonpartisan procedures for legislative and congressional redistricting.� Currently, redistricting is done by whatever party is in power, and the end result usually favors themajority party.
Rep. Deb Kolste, D-Janesville, spoke in favor of the measure.� She said that she didn't blame the Republicans for the system, but was frustrated that the Democrats hadn't enacted redistricting reform when they were in power.
The last redistricting cost $1.9 million in legal fees.�

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Man of Steel' Soars to Number One
After months of feverish anticipation and a marketing campaign that left everyone at ScreenCrush practically speechless, 'Man of Steel' has arrived (amidst a flurry of mixed reviews) and taken its place at the top of the box office chart. Although the latest Superman film broke June box office records, it's yet to be seen whether or not the film is truly prepared for the long road ahead.
|Per Screen
|Man of Steel
|This is the End
|Now You See Me
|$10,320,000 (-45.8)
|Fast and Furious 6
|$9,433,000 (-51.9)
|The Purge
|$8,201,000 (-75.9)
|The Internship
|$7,000,000 (-59.6)
|$6,000,000 (-49.5)
|Star Trek Into Darkness
|$5,660,000 (-50.5)
|After Earth
|$3,750,000 (-65.0)
|Iron Man 3
|$2,908,000 (-49.5)
With a weekend gross of $113 million (and a current total of $125 million), 'Man of Steel' is now the proud record holder of the biggest June opening of all time. This should be a cause for celebration — even though its big 2013 superhero competition, 'Iron Man 3,' opened to much more six weeks ago. Massive weekend aside, 'Man of Steel' was not cheap and its $225 million budget is a drop in the bucket compared to all of the other costs associated with it. So while 'Man of Steel' is off to a terrific start, it's going to need strong, powerful legs to keep it running in the weeks ahead. Like 'Iron Man 3,' it's also going to rely on strong international business. It's been suggested that Warner Bros. won't be happy with anything less than a billion worldwide and it's still a little too early to tell if audiences love 'Man of Steel' enough to push it that far. Next week is going to be the real test here.
Although you can discuss the semantics of whether or not 'Man of Steel' is a proper hit all day, there's no denying that the $32 million five-day gross for 'This is the End' puts Seth Rogen's latest clearly in the "hit" column. Considering its small budget, the hilarious apocalyptic comedy has essentially paid for itself in its first week of release. With strong buzz, the film should be able to drive all the way to the $100 million mark if 'The Heat' doesn't completely steal its audience in two weeks. In any case, this is sweet, sweet vindication for Rogen after the disappointing 'The Green Hornet,' and it's probably earned him carte blanche on his next few gigs.
Beyond the new releases, it was a solid if not particularly spectacular weekend for everyone else. In third place, 'Now You See Me' continued to showcase impressive endurance, grossing an additional $10 million for an $80 million total. $100 million is all but assured at this point, which is more than anyone saw coming for a Jesse Eisenberg-led magician heist movie. Right below it, 'Fast and Furious 6' finally surpassed 'Fast Five' to become the highest grossing film in the franchise with $219 million. It's probably eyeing $250 million at this point, but it may go farther if 'World War Z' and 'White House Down' fail to connect.
Meanwhile, last week's champion, 'The Purge,' plummeted a massive 75% and fell to fifth place. With a $51 million gross, the low budget horror movie is a massive hit already and everyone can easily shrug off this drop, but this may put a pause on all of that sequel talk. Although horror movies generally do take steep second week drops, 75% is a huge deal that may represent more audience dissatisfaction than its opening weekend suggested.
As for the rest…
In sixth place, 'The Internship' continued Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's slow descent into irrelevance with a $7 million gross and a $30 million total. Once again, we'll just say that this movie was released about six years too late.
In seventh place, 'Epic' continued to be the quiet winner of the year, taking in $6 million for a $95 million total. This thing is going to cross $100 million in a few days and no one has been talking about it!
In eighth place, 'Star Trek Into Darkness' is officially starting to slow down, still about $37 million short of its predecessor. Not awful, but still… ouch.
In ninth place, 'After Earth' took another massive stumble and is looking like it may make less than 'Seven Pounds,' which was previously one of Will Smith's biggest bombs.
And finally, 'Iron Man 3' is just about to exit theaters and it's less than a million bucks from $400 million. It'll get there sometime tomorrow.
Next week sees 'World War Z' and 'Monsters University' arrive in theaters. Expect Pixar to take the number one spot and 'World War Z' to… well, who knows?

Despite the spectacular economic development China has engineered, the use of the renminbi (RMB) has not grown at the same pace as the country's industries. Many U.S. businesses that source from China continue to pay their suppliers in U.S. dollars. Doing so is convenient, and it eliminates foreign exchange (FX) risk in those transactions. It also costs more, and it puts these companies at a disadvantage compared with businesses that are willing to transact in RMB.
As China has liberalized the RMB over the past decade, an increasing number of European, Australian, and Asian companies have begun making RMB-denominated deals. If China continues to experience a credit squeeze and deceleration in economic growth, U.S. companies may find themselves under increasing pressure to use the local currency when working with Chinese trading partners. The time is right to evaluate the pros and cons of paying and billing in RMB.
History of RMB Transactions
For more than a decade, the value of the RMB was pegged to the U.S. dollar. In 2005, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) permitted the RMB to begin moving but limited its swings in value to a maximum of 0.3 percent per day when compared with a basket of other currencies. In 2012, the PBOC increased the RMB's trading band against the basket of currencies to 1 percent per day. Today, the value of the RMB is 25 percent higher than it was in July 2005.
At the same time it began loosening the reins on the RMB's value, the PBOC began working directly with foreign governments to encourage use of its currency. Emerging from the global financial crisis of 2008, Chinese President Hu Jintao called for "a fair, just, inclusive, and well-managed international financial order." The PBOC began signing bilateral swap agreements (BSAs) with the central banks of other countries. Through these deals, the nations exchange a specified quantity of RMB for the other country's currency, at a specified exchange rate. This enables the other central bank to lend in RMB to institutions in its jurisdiction, and it enables Beijing to encourage use of its currency abroad while maintaining quite a bit of control over foreigners' use of RMB.
Usually this type of central bank currency swap is designed to improve a nation's liquidity in the event of, or in order to prevent, a financial crisis. But according to the PBOC, the main purpose of the Chinese BSAs is to promote the use of the RMB in global trade and investment. To date, Beijing has signed BSAs with more than 20 central banks, accounting for a total of more than $1 trillion yuan.
The PBOC also launched bilateral RMB clearing systems with the central banks of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom in an effort to further facilitate cross-border RMB settlements. Going forward, it will be interesting to see whether capital controls between China and Singapore ease further if Singapore develops as a source of offshore RMB liquidity.
Current State of the Currency
As the Chinese government has relaxed controls on the RMB, it has reduced the barriers to RMB-denominated deals. U.S. companies are now able to purchase RMB directly from large global banks or through independent foreign exchange providers. The only limitation that the Chinese government currently places on the size of RMB settlements involves individual Chinese citizens, who can exchange a maximum of US$50,000 per year worth of RMB for use in overseas purchases or investments. Because there is no limit on the volume of U.S. dollars (USD) that a Chinese citizen can move into RMB, foreign companies with operations in China may want to make payments to individuals, such as salaries, in USD so that those individuals have optimal flexibility in how they spend the money. The PBOC has announced that it may lift even this restriction by the end of this year.
Nevertheless, making a cross-border payment denominated in RMB is not as simple as making a cross-border payment in USD. First, a distinction should be made between the RMB used in transactions within the borders of mainland China (CNY) and RMB traded offshore, mainly in Hong Kong (CNH). The CNY is the currency that still fluctuates within a tight trading band controlled by the PBOC (1 percent maximum shift per day relative to a basket of other currencies). The CNH, which enters FX markets via the PBOC's bilateral swap agreements, moves freely with the market. But because the PBOC tightly controls the supply of CNH, demand usually exceeds supply, and the CNH usually trades above the value of the CNY. Chinese companies usually convert their CNY into foreign currencies in Hong Kong at the more attractive CNH rate.
Payments in mainland China that are denominated in RMB are processed through the China National Advanced Payment System (CNAPS). Clearing interbank payments through the system often involves manual data entry, which raises the unit cost of each transaction. In addition, the CNAPS clearing code is more complex than SWIFT Bank Identifier Codes (BIC), which can pose a roadblock to identifying the beneficiary bank in a payment and slow down delivery of payment. To improve the efficiency of RMB-denominated trade, Beijing needs to streamline its clearing processes so that payments in RMB are not further delayed.
More cumbersome, every time a U.S. company makes an RMB payment, it must provide Chinese regulators with supporting documents, including the invoice, contract, and customs declaration form. And although regulators are also receiving this documentation, the banks that are party to a transaction must investigate the background of the transaction to ensure that it complies with Chinese policy. If the supporting documents fail inspection, the payment will be rejected, which may delay the processing of the transaction by a week or more.
Global Growth for the RMB
China's efforts to boost global use of the RMB have been somewhat successful. According to SWIFT, the value of RMB-denominated payments expanded 171 percent between January 2012 and January 2013. In fact, in the three months from December 2012 to March 2013, RMB payments rose in value by 32.7 percent, whereas the value of payments in other currencies rose an average of 5.1 percent. Globally, 29 percent of the 160 nations that exchanged payments with China and Hong Kong in April 2013 denominated at least 10 percent of those transactions in RMB. That's an increase of 10 percentage points (almost 50 percent) since July 2012.
While still falling behind in global transactions, the RMB increased its market share this June to 0.87 percent. The RMB is now one position away from being in the world's top 10 currencies in terms of total value of payments, having overtaken the Thai baht and Norwegian krone.
Regionally, as China has begun to loosen its grip on its currency, East Asia has developed into an RMB bloc. China increased liquidity in the region by appointing the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China as an official RMB clearing bank in Singapore and debuting "dim sum" bonds (CNH-denominated bonds) in Singapore. Now seven of the 10 countries in the region—including South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand—track the RMB to a greater degree than the U.S. dollar.
Among European countries, France is in the pole position for transacting in RMB, recording a 249 percent increase in the total value of payments since March 2012. Today, 21.4 percent of payments made between France and China/Hong Kong are denominated in RMB, compared with 6.5 percent of payments only a year ago. France ranks third in the world in terms of the value of offshore RMB payments, behind the United Kingdom and Singapore.
The rapid acceleration in the value of French RMB transactions exposes increased competition between France and the U.K. In June 2013, the Bank of England finalized a three-year bilateral swap agreement with China. Fast on the heels of France and the U.K. are Italy, Luxembourg, and Russia, which are currently among the strongest adopters of the RMB.
U.S. Companies Aren't Keeping Up
In this rush toward the RMB, U.S.-based companies are lagging. The United States is in sixth place—behind the U.K., Singapore, Australia, France, and Luxembourg—in terms of the total value of RMB-denominated offshore payments. U.S. trade with China increased more than three-and-a-half times faster than total U.S. foreign trade in the last decade, and payments from the U.S. to China represent the biggest international corridor on SWIFT. Nevertheless, the U.S. dollar remains the settlement currency for the vast majority of these transactions.
The principal reason why U.S. companies have been slow to adopt the RMB is that they're hesitant to accept the FX risk. Obviously, paying in U.S. dollars eliminates foreign exchange risk for companies that do most of their business in USD.
But for companies that both buy and sell goods or services in China, denominating both payables and receivables in RMB is a smart way to create a natural hedge. Foreign exchange risk is eliminated and margins preserved, as exposures can be netted. U.S. businesses that take this approach are rarely interested in converting RMB profits into U.S. dollars for use in North American operations. The U.S. tax code discourages profit repatriation, and some analysts believe the RMB is undervalued by as much as 40 percent relative to the USD.
Another option for U.S. companies is to apply for Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) incorporation in China. Doing so enables the organization to denominate transactions in RMB, then repatriate profits into U.S. dollars to send back to the parent company in the United States. WFOE status would enable the business to maximize profits in mainland China and prevent potential leakage of its intellectual property, and attaining this status does not require the cooperations of an investor from mainland China.
Companies that primarily buy from or sell to China, but don't do both, also have options. As Beijing has moved away from the fixed exchange rate with U.S. dollars, toward full internationalization of the RMB, it has created new opportunities for foreign entities to hedge their exposure to the currency. U.S. firms now have the flexibility to use deliverable forward contracts, as well as non-deliverable forwards, to mitigate their RMB FX risk. They are no longer restricted to transacting solely on the spot market, which subjects them to market volatility. This greatly improves the competitive position and cash flow of U.S. companies that do business in China, while it reduces the overall cost of hedging.
Benefits of RMB Transactions
As they become more comfortable with their ability to mitigate FX risk, U.S. companies should consider paying Chinese suppliers in RMB. One significant reason is that the PBOC estimates transacting in U.S. dollars increases the cost of a transaction in China by 2 to 3 percent, which equates to US$10,000 to US$15,000 on a US$500,000 invoice. Other estimates peg the premium for trading in USD as high as 5 percent. Chinese companies factor RMB appreciation into their price to hedge against the possibility that the exchange rate will move unfavorably before the trade is settled. This buffer means that U.S. companies are paying a premium for transacting in USD.
Another consideration is that foreign companies which won't consider denominating transactions in RMB may be putting themselves at a disadvantage compared with their competitors. A growing layer of smaller Chinese businesses are opening their doors to outside markets. Many of these companies prefer to use their own currency, and some are reluctant to take on dollar exposure because their cost base is denominated in RMB. U.S. organizations that are willing to trade in RMB broaden their network of prospective buyers and suppliers.
Finally, making payments in RMB has the potential to speed up the supply chain. A Chinese supplier might be able to accelerate product delivery if it no longer needs to spend time converting USD to RMB to fund its local operations. Consider, for example, what might happen to a company's supply chain around the Chinese New Year. The nation essentially shuts down to celebrate the holiday, with factories closing one to two weeks prior to the Lunar New Year and remaining closed until two weeks after the date. Regardless of how this holiday fits into Western companies' demands, freight in China will be at a standstill. If the Chinese supplier has to convert USD to RMB, in addition to manufacturing and shipping the goods, the Lunar New Year may defer delivery even more than it otherwise would. Since banks and independent FX providers now offer RMB conversion, U.S. companies that are willing to use RMB for procurement can reduce that added friction in the production cycle.
A Well-Charted Course
The RMB will undoubtedly continue to experience foundational change. The PBOC will probably allow the onshore RMB to move to a free-floating model; the Chinese central bank predicts that the RMB will achieve full convertibility by 2015. However, achieving this goal will require Beijing to relax its capital account regime and domestic financial controls, which will impact its state-owned banking system and its practice of offering privileged lending to state enterprises. Internationalization will cause a good deal of turbulence for the Chinese economy and political regime.
Over the past few centuries, the world's principal reserve currencies have been issued by democracies. Britain and the United States hold contested elections and have political systems that limit the arbitrary exercise of executive power. Such institutions are missing from China's political system. Modern China maintains a tight grip on its people, who are increasingly expressing dissent through demonstrations.
The slowing Chinese economy and volatility in Chinese financial markets have added to this turmoil. In mid-August, the China Banking Regulatory Commission reported that bad loans at Chinese banks have grown for seven quarters in a row, across all categories of financial institutions. At the same time, Chinese GDP growth slowed for the second straight quarter, as factory output and fixed asset investment decelerated. And because many analysts have accused Beijing of manipulating its economic data, the actual degree to which Chinese markets are struggling remains unclear.
Regardless, GDP growth is clearly slowing, and the credit environment in China is tightening. As the Chinese economy slows and momentum gathers around idea that the PBOC should depreciate the yuan to support the export sector, paying in RMB may become considerably more cost-effective for U.S. importers from China. Year to date, the RMB has appreciated 5 percent compared with a basket of currencies. (That appreciation may well be one of the reasons China has lost some of its competitive edge.)
Many companies that do business in China will find that the optimal solution is to denominate some transactions in U.S. dollars and others in renminbi. A prudent approach for U.S. companies sourcing from Chinese suppliers is to request that invoices be quoted in both USD and RMB. This enables the buyer to evaluate which currency would be more beneficial to settle in. It also improves transparency and may strengthen the business relationship. As the RMB's role on the world stage continues to evolve, multinational businesses are wise to find a bank or independent FX provider that can deliver RMB payments in mainland China. By doing so, they will prepare themselves for trade in a currency that may not only deliver cost savings, but also enhance their competitiveness and ability to profitably do business in China.

Celebration Libations: Wine for the Holidays
Wine buyers, Julie and Gemma, share their picks for your holiday celebrations.
As we enter this season of sharing food with family and friends, we compile a list of our favorite wines to serve at parties and gatherings. Our top picks this year embody the qualities we showcase in our stores. Made in family-run wineries on small farms, using sustainably-grown grapes and natural fermentation, these wines are clear expressions of the terroir of the farms and the care of the producers. On their own, these lovely wines invite you to delve into their complex aromas and flavors. Paired with carefully selected cheeses, they demonstrate their full, orchestral potential.
I Clivi Galea Bianco 1999
Gemma participated in this year's grape harvest in Friuli where she had the chance to taste 10 vintages of I Clivi wines. This '99 Galea Bianco was her favorite. Gold in color with flavors of acacia, anise, marzipan and Meyer lemon, this complex wine is the result of the careful farming of old, low-yielding vines and traditional cellar work. This particular vintage is also a superb example of the Tocai grape's ability to age gracefully over time. Right now, we are carrying the Bianco '99 in magnums—perfect for any of your larger holiday gatherings!
Derain Bourgogne "Les Riaux" 2009
Catherine and Dominique Derain produce this wine on their small farm in the town of Saint Aubin without added sulfur, fining or filtering. The wine is aged in huge, old chestnut wood barrels and is best enjoyed after decanting, giving the wine a chance to open up and fully express its dark cherry fruit, velvety texture and underlying minerality.
Jean Lallement et Fils "Cuvée Reserve" Grand Cru Champagne Brut N.V.
We only stock Champagnes made by winemakers who grow their own grapes and carefully craft each cuvée in their own wineries. The Lallements make a tiny amount of Pinot Noir-based Champagne from their Grand Cru vineyards in the town of Verzenay. Champagnes made from grapes grown in this town possess a distinct intensity and virility. This non-vintage "Cuvée Reserve" (80 percent Pinot Noir, 20 percent Chardonnay) is beautifully complex and powerful, while maintaining a polished elegance. You might be tempted to serve this wine on its own, but we encourage you to pair it with foods that complement its flavors of quince, red currant and spice.

UPDATE: Both I-90/39 southbound lanes open
JANESVILLE—Both southbound lanes of traffic on Interstate 90/39 are now open after being shut down before noon Sunday.
Multiple crashes around 11:40 a.m. Sunday on I 90/39 between Kennedy Road and Milton Avenue blocked all southbound lanes, according to a Wisconsin State Patrol news release.
Traffic flow was affected for about two hours, the release stated.
At least six vehicles needed to be towed out of ditches, and at least one person was reported to be suffering from a shoulder injury, according to scanner chatter.
Roads were reported to be slippery. Public works crews are out treating roads in the city and county.
The National Weather Service in Sullivan issued a winter weather advisory at 11:17 a.m. Sunday. It will remain in effect until 6 a.m. Monday.
The advisory indicates periods of snow will cause travel difficulties with snow-covered, slippery roads and limited visibilities.

'Storm Chasers' delight in band's performance, Irish Fest
JANESVILLE—The setting was along the Rock River, not the Irish Sea, and the accents in the lobby weren't quite right Saturday night.
But Guinness was on tap and Concannon whiskey poured, and as Gaelic Storm took the stage at the Janesville Performing Arts Center to booming drums, bagpipes and fiddle, Janesville was as good a stand-in as any for Ireland.
The show marked a keynote of sorts for Irish Fest, the four-day celebration of Janesville's Irish heritage that organizers say started when JPAC booked Gaelic Storm for a pair of shows.
With help from a state tourism grant and lots of work from organizers, the festival sprung up around the sold-out shows, the second of which closes Irish Fest at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
For James J. Knilans, a devotee of Gaelic Storm and self-described "Storm Chaser," the festival marked a chance not only to see the band but also to join his home city in celebrating Irish ancestry.
"It's great fun for the community," Knilans said standing in JPAC's lobby, decked out in a kilt and green shirt from Mo's Irish Pub in Milwaukee. "Irish Fest is something that everybody can get behind because, in this area, so many people can draw their heritage back to Ireland."
His was far from the only Irish fashion on display at the show.
Some sported four-leaf clover beads and oversized hats branded with Guinness or Jameson, while others opted for more subtle green dresses or suits with green bowties. Two bartenders went for a fusion look with green and white leis as they poured beers.
Off to one side, a merchandise table offered the usual band swag including T-shirts and hats, as well as the more culture-specific items for a Gaelic Storm show: beer koozies, rugby shirts and flasks.
In an Irish flag-striped polo, Tobin Ryan praised JPAC for booking a big act, and he said he'd like to see the festival become an annual event.
"This whole weekend of Irish Fest has really gotten people out of their homes and into the streets of Janesville," Ryan said. "It's been phenomenal."
Janesville resident Margery Wakefield works downtown, and she enjoyed seeing the Irish flags that have adorned businesses all week. Although she was out of town for much of the festival's events, she made sure to come back for Gaelic Storm—which she's now seen live 16 times.
"They're just an absolute hoot," she said.
Fans clapped along and cheered as the band began its foot-stomping set, though a few did shout out to correct lead singer Patrick Murphy when he claimed the band had been here before—after all, these Storm Chasers would know if they had.
Murphy also slightly misstated the status of the former Marshall Middle School where Gaelic Storm was performing, praising it as "the only junior high school in the history of the world where you can actually drink Guinness."
That time, perhaps because of the Guinness and Concannon, nobody thought the mistake worthy of a correction.

District attorney: $1 million cash bond set for Rafael Olivarez, man suspected in Delavan stabbing
ELKHORN—A $1 million cash bond was set Tuesday morning for the man suspected of stabbing his cousin to death Sunday in Delavan.
Rafael Olivarez, 39, is suspected of killing Ivan Guerrero, 31, at Guerrero's apartment at 509 Lawson School Road, Delavan.
Guerrero had a "large penetrating stab wound to the upper abdominal area," Walworth County district attorney, Daniel Necci, said at a Tuesday morning court appearance, according to a transcript of the hearing.
Officers found a pool of blood in front of the apartment and trails of blood in the grass and on the sidewalk, Necci said, according to the transcript.
A medical examination later found Guerrero had suffered "several" stab wounds, Necci said, according to the transcript.
Early Sunday morning, a family argument escalated, and Olivarez, 51 1/2 E. Walworth Ave., Delavan, stabbed Guerrero, Delavan Police Chief Timothy O'Neill said Monday.
The Delavan Police Department and the Walworth County Sheriff's Office responded to the apartment at about 3:17 a.m., Sunday.
Olivarez was taken into custody, and Guerrero was taken to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville, where he died, O'Neill said.
Necci will be the prosecutor in the case.
Olivarez appeared in court at the Walworth County Judicial Center via video from the Walworth County Jail at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday.
He appeared in the morning because the court "needed to set bond right away," Necci said in a Tuesday morning interview. Typically, people accused of misdemeanors or traffic violations appear at 8:15 a.m. Other defendants appear at 1:15 p.m.
The public defender's office was under the impression the bond hearing was at 1:15 p.m., the transcript states.
Necci declined to comment on the case after the hearing, saying the investigation is ongoing. A criminal complaint will be filed "soon," he said.
Olivarez is being held at the jail while the investigation continues.
Olivarez will be charged with first-degree intentional homicide, Necci said, according to the transcript.
On Monday, O'Neill said preliminary interviews were completed, and police reports should be sent by Tuesday to the District Attorney's Office.
Guerrero's wife, Brenda Garcia, told officers Olivarez attacked Guerrero, "stabbing him in the abdomen during a fight," Necci said, according to the transcript.
The two men were arguing about a deceased family member and the events surrounding that death several years ago, O'Neill said.
Police were called after someone in the apartment contacted someone outside the apartment who then called the police after the stabbing, he said.
Olivarez was waiting for police outside the apartment when officers arrived, he said.
Guerrero's four children and another visiting child were upstairs sleeping when the incident occurred. Police had the children exit the home through an upstairs window and down a ladder, O'Neill said.
At some point during the investigation, Olivarez told officials: "I may be in prison for the rest of my life, but I got Mexicans that will take care of things for me out there," Necci said, according to the transcript.
A knife believed to be the weapon was found at the scene, O'Neill said. The knife and a pair of scissors were taken from the scene, Necci said, according to the transcript.
Olivarez is scheduled to be back in court at 1:15 p.m. Wednesday for an adjourned initial appearance, Necci said.
Travis Schwantes, assistant public defender, is defending Olivarez, Necci said.�

Gunman Spotted on Yale Campus; Lockdown Lifted [UDATED]
UPDATE 3:15 p.m. EST: The lockdown and shelter-in-place orders have been lifted, according to the Yale alert system. Police have been going door-to-door on campus searching for the gunman, though authorities will not confirm whether it may have been a hoax.
"We aren't taking anything for chance and we'll continue to investigate each report," said New Haven police officer David Hartman.
Students and faculty at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, have been asked to shelter in place after police received reports of a gunman being sighted on or near campus.
The situation is currently under investigation. Here is the text message sent to the Yale community at 10 a.m. EST:
New Haven Police have received an anonymous call from a phone booth in the 300 block of Columbus Avenue (between Howard Avenue and Hallock Street) reporting a person on the Yale campus with a gun. There have been NO confirmations or sightings of this person. Yale and New Haven Police are in the area. If you have information, please call 911 immediately. The Yale Police Department advises those on campus to remain in their current location until there is additional information.
This post will be updated as further information comes in.

Bowhunters flocked to Necedah refuge in 1940s
Bowhunters: Do you think that public hunting land is crowded these days? Wouldn't it be great to have hunted six decades ago when the sport was just getting popular and there was plenty of elbow room? That might have been true in some places but definitely not at the big Necedah Wildlife Refuge in central Wisconsin.
In the 1940s, a trip to Necedah for the opener was a kind of pilgrimage for bowhunters from around the country. Roy Hoff, the editor of "Archery" magazine, flew all the way from California to be part of it.When he arrived at the airport in Milwaukee he was met by Larry Wiffen, a well-known bowhunter from the city, and his wife Shirley. Together they drove the 160 miles northwest to the refuge, aka "Whitetail Mecca."
When they stopped 25 miles short of Necedah at Mauston on the eve of the opener, they found the hotels overflowing with eager hunters.
"The hotels at Mauston and near-by New Lisbon were not the only ones crowded" he wrote. "Every sort of accommodations in towns within 40 miles of Necedah, including tourist cabins, rooming houses and private homes with improvised arrangements in the living room, were filled. Most places had been reserved months before the season opened. We fortunately had rooms at Spikes boarding establishment in Necedah."
The visitor from the Golden State got his first real look at the magnitude of this bowhunting spectacle at 4:30 a.m. the next morning when he arose to find auto traffic going through town in a steady procession that reportedly lasted for three solid hours.
These cars were all filled with bowhunters arriving from everywhere, all heading for the refuge. It was useless to try to get into a restaurant for a bite or two of breakfast. There are only two eating emporiums in town, and they had been filled all night and were still jammed full of hunters.
By 5:30 a.m., most of the hunters had arrived at the refuge and were picking their way through the woods in the predawn darkness. The state Conservation Department had sent a number of agents to oversee things, and it was later estimated that there were at least 4,000 deer-stalkers present (this was just within the boundaries Necedah Refuge itself).
It was said that "there were areas where a red-capped hunter peeked out from behind each tree or bush and the cars were parked so thick it looked as though a football game must be in progress."
One observer described seeing a deer coming out of the woods that was forced to jump over the hood of a car to get to the other side of the road. Another archer tells the story of how he shot a deer in the morning and decided to wait an hour before tracking it. When he found it, there were already two other hunters who had each subsequently put arrows in it, and were now fighting over its ownership.
The spectacle at Necedah had attracted more than just hunters. News writers were there covering for the Associated Press, Holiday Magazine, the Milwaukee Journal and the Milwaukee Sentinel.
If the town's hotels had seemed crowded, the areas adjacent to the refuge that permitted camping were equally so. Tent villages had sprung up along the highway for an entire 12-mile stretch.
At one point near the little whistle-stop of Sprague it was reported that there were 51 tents pitched in a sort of an impromptu canvas city, with an additional 33 elsewhere in the vicinity. In approximately half the area being hunted, 478 cars were counted.
"Never in the history of bowhunting including the regular deer seasons," Hoff later remarked, "have so many hunters concentrated in one area as they did on the town roads and drainage ditches in the Necedah refuge on the opening day, September 27, 1947."

EXPERIMENTAL What, then, determines the rate of conversion of cellulose fibers (containing many long chains of cellulose molecules) to individual, shorter chains that are more easily hydrolyzed? This question can be examined from the perspective of the cellulase enzymes themselves and from that of the microorganism responsible for synthesizing the enzyme and utilizing the hydrolytic products. For enzymatic hydrolysis of natural celluloses, several determinants of hydrolysis rate have been proposed, including crystallinity, degree of polymerization, particle size, pore volume, and accessible surface area .
Since cellulose hydrolysis is a surface phenomenon, available surface area is a potential determinant of hydrolytic rate, although there remains some debate about what constitutes the "available" surface area. Several studies have shown that the pore structure of cellulosic materials can accommodate particles of the size of a cellulolytic enzyme (223, 224, 648, 678, 736), and good correlation has been observed between total surface area (estimated from solute exclusion measurements and assumed pore geometries) (647) and the rate of substrate hydrolysis. Gama et al. (202), however, applying a modified solute exclusion technique to five different celluloses, have reported that cellulolytic enzymes do not penetrate the pore structure of purified celluloses. Moreover, these workers point out that effective cellulolysis requires synergism among several enzymes, the combined size of which is larger than the micropores that would accommodate a single enzyme. They conclude that "the external surface area, including the macropores, represents a measure of the effective contact area between cellulose and enzymes in the beginning of the reaction. However, this contact surface is not, in itself relevant to cellulose reactivity...because fragmentation can greatly increase accessible surface area" (202). This is an intriguing interpretation worthy of further study. Unfortunately, a meaningful quantitative relationship between surface area and the kinetics of cellulose hydrolysis did not emerge from their work, in which cellulose disappearance was reported only after a fixed incubation period (6 h). It is likely, however, that pore structure is a much more important determinant of hydrolysis in natural biomass materials than in purified celluloses, which have relatively smooth surfaces and lower porosity. On the whole, the relationship between surface area and hydrolytic rate in cell-free systems is rather equivocal.
By contrast, the relationship between available surface area and rate of cellulose digestion in whole-cell systems is strong across a variety of independent measurement techniques, suggesting that the available surface area is a more important determinant of rate of hydrolysis or utilization than is crystallinity. In mixed ruminal bacteria, where cellulolytic enzymes are retained primarily on the cell surface and the effective size of the catalytic unit is the size of the bacterial cell, it is clear that gross specific surface area (the external surface area excluding micropores) is an effective determinant of hydrolysis rate (416, 733). For F. succinogenes, the rate of succinate production from cellulose is directly proportional to surface area measured by absorption of Congo red dye (416). For mixed ruminal microbes, cellulose removal determined by weight loss is directly proportional to the gross specific surface area of the fiber, calculated from the measured dimensions of cellulose particles (733).
I ask.......... ....could a treatment regimine be initiated by the next paragraph????
Even if hydrolytic cleavage of bonds is moderately rapid, cellulose hydrolysis may be impeded by the inability of enzymes to access additional substrate. This is likely to be due in part to most cellulose chains being buried within the microfibrils. Moreover, coverage of some surface chains by the "footprint" of enzyme molecules (particularly those in a complexed form) that covers many bonds (212) (see "Adsorption" below) physically restricts the binding of additional enzyme molecules to neighboring sites on the fiber. Finally, continued hydrolysis of cellulose requires both excision and removal of hydrolytic products from the site of attack to expose underlying cellulose chains to the enzymes. Walker et al. (718) have made direct measurements of the fragmentation of cellulose (i.e., the breakdown of cellulose into smaller particles, resulting from a separation of associated microfibrils or chains) resulting from the action of T. fusca cellulase and have shown that fragmentation precedes most of the release of reducing sugars. The importance of fragmentation is suggested from comparisons of the rate of weight loss of different cellulose allomorphs by pure cultures of ruminal cellulolytic bacteria and by mixed ruminal microflora (729). Allomorphs with virtually identical unit cell dimensions and similar particle sizes and RCI values showed considerable differences in rate of utilization, as measured by weight loss during bacterial growth. The most slowly utilized allomorphs (cellulose II and cellulose IIIII) were those that are thought to contain—in addition to the intrachain and interchain hydrogen bonds present in all crystalline allomorphs—hydrogen bonds between adjacent sheets, which would impede the fragmentation of microfibrils into individual chains. The relationship between fragmentation and cellulose hydrolysis has not been quantitatively addressed. Fragmentation would be expected to result in an increased reaction rate with time due to increased surface area. However, rates of cellulose hydrolysis by growing bacteria have been found to be constant or to decline with increasing substrate conversion (see "Kinetics of microbial cellulose utilization" below), consistent with the notion that factors other than increased surface area due to fragmentation are the most important in determining hydrolysis rates.
could'nt we just find what amplifies the Q sensing mechinisim in the agent and exploite it by getting the whole macrophage mycoplasm to pay attention to a very loud promoter...... for instance....ingest a certain KNOWN labeled tablet (we need to data mine wayback for ESCHELON sat files find the trensript for the FCCID ref to tagged material RF labled chemical maybe a safe to find a new one and ref sat scans.....one like the reasearch chemical like 2CI.......) and with an external acoustic feild basically HERD the mycoplaslog to one appengage and have an external plate 3.5 voltz 7 hrz gold electrode inside a synthetic LEVEN/agarto induce loud promoter.... like some doped amino acid charged protien gluton lattace at the apendages extreme and HERD off the Spian onto the plate... and
use spent GREEN SALT decontamination protocal for disposal of MYCOPLASMjust a thought............very cold ....
.................................curious................................................ but 7hrtz acoustic that is ..and 3.5V electro .... this coveres electro/kenetic but not photonic .......
any data on UV spectrum or refracture frequency has to be a reason for those fake cloude SOLAR LENZ that have to be more than experiments....

Thanks so much Nadas! I appreaciate it, really do. I'm going to go back and re-read your post then get off line....long-arse day, you know what I mean?
Okay, this is an official "I'm sorry" for calling anyone a dumdum.....I mean that....but you gotta understand.....this sh it pisses one off.....
I did not deserve to get this....(not like anyone did, but you really got the wrong person with me...)
Now, Nadas and any other intellectuals around......can you, dare you to answer this.....
My research has led me to the gov't and foundations doing this, but I'm really thinking they don't know what's up- I do not say that in a condensending way, but I really think they don't know what is about to hit them....I'm thinking this is over their heads....anyone care to
gimme their opinion here???? I'm just guessing....
Anyway, sorry to all, not even my intent to get big guilty parties involved in trouble either....just wanted to find out what the hell hit me and how....
thinking, catch it early-there may be hope to cure,...HAHAHAHA.....I'm phucked!
Anybody have some heroine??????
I'm looking for a 6months supply!!!!!!! (just joking moderaters!!!)
Well, guess I'm going to start praying asking God to block this laser or this molecular wave coming at me.....yeah, that is my new plans.....
and if whomever can stop this, i will never post again if you can help me....give you a car too......Please??????

and merry phucking christmas to you too......
sticks and stones/////sounds like your arse got into trouble for letting a plane dumdum (myself) figure this out.....gotta love it!
Merry christmas anyway!!!!!!
PS: My research led me to the answer....too bad I can;t do anything about it though.....
Betcha 500.00 right here, right now, that this is porhyrins!!!!!Porhyrin related, as in rings, or metals, or polymers.....ie, porhyrin polymers....
you game???? why, why not???
Hey thanks there disinfo mean one....i got this from your threat at the end!!
I can tell you from experience that this infection has a profound effect upon the human psyche. I'm not qualified to speculate by what process the infection interferes with human neurological function, I can only tell you from experience that it affects a wide range of emotions which closely resemble bi-polar syndrome. When I improved my health, these emotional extremes subsided as well.
I have felt the same anger, fear, and anxiety that London frequently displays. I have seen this in others as well. As such is the case, I am not at all offended by London.
I have been lurking here for quite some time and feel that London is sincerely trying to share his/her ???? knowledge with us. I appeal to you to please try to understand the effects of this infection and be patient with us.
Deep breath........
MOST unlike me.....
Hi Frank
I read your posts with great interest - they were a breath of fresh air. I suffer from this too and believe me, I understand the reasons for London posting such things. Just once in a while you have to let go. Apologies to London but please think before you post London. Frank we need more people like you. I don't understand this: London is highly intelligient but obviously suffering. I think she has good intentions. Taking everything into consideration I still can't fathom why she lashes out with complete disregard for other people's feelings. Why London? Take a minute to ask yourself. Please don't anyone try and tell me this condition takes over your life, your thoughts and your reasons for being. I know that. And still, taking everything into account, I can not make sense of why you insult people like you do London. That is my point.
I can tell you one thing this disease promotes: FEAR. Fear of the establishment, fear of doctors, fear of the unknown. London, don't take it to heart, don't worry. Be a positive force. DISINFO
Thanks disinfo
To re-iterate and clarify, I am not a biologist nor physician.
I suffered from severe infection for several years until I decided to take every measure to improve my health by breaking some old very bad physical habits, get plenty of rest, and eat right.
After I lost 30 pounds, and started eating right, the fatigue, confusion, mood swings, and lesions improved, but persisted to a lesser degree.
I experienced a severe otic infection of the outer ear canal and sought medical help. The antibiotics and ear drops that the doctor prescribed had no effect upon the infection for 2 weeks. The doctor then prescribed Bausch and Lomb brand Acetic Acid 2% in Aqueous Aluminum Acetate Otic Solution NDC number 24208-615-77 which relieved the pain and weeping fluid in less than 24 hours.
I later applied some of the left over solution to a couple of my lesions and found that it hurt like bloody hell and only made the lesions more inflamed. However, once I stopped applying the solution, the lesions healed completely and did not return.
I did not have enough of the solution to apply to all of my lesions, so I purchased food grade vinegar, and diluted it to 2.5% acetic acid by mixing it with distilled water.
The vinegar also hurt like bloody hell. However I feel that it diminished the infectious agent to a point where my immune system could control it.
Please don't anyone drink diluted vinegar. I don't think that it will harm you any more than drinking the juice from a dill pickle jar, but the gastric effect will probably have you cursing my name.
I strongly suspect that the topical application of acetic acid would not have worked if my immune system had not been previously improved to a point that it was able to continue suppressing the infection.
It is also notable that I had been taking anti-biotics for several weeks prior to applying the acetic acid solution, which may have also affected my condition.
Please allow me to state clearly to everyone that I am not making any recommendations on how to proceed with your own state of health. My intent here is only to report to you what measures I took which I strongly feel improved my condition to a more tolerable degree.
year supply heroine wont help its mostlikely on the list.......
lets get it straight this C3 "STRAY" agent is likely subjegated thru "agent green" you know the FUSA blanket covering all illegal crops so not matter your source your stash will be tagged and radio labled with this agent...... and idont care if you got Lebonese amber ..they can still alter the metabolic functions at the "protected" target ...... so that doobie on sunday befor used to calm you but now its got you wired,paranoid, str8 crackheaded....... go go bush doctor homeland security.
