Man charged with trying to shoot officer is found fit to stand trial
JANESVILLE—A Clinton man who spent months in a mental health institution after police say he tried to kill an officer was found fit to stand trial at a hearing Monday afternoon.
Terrance P. Robinson, 59, of 703 Carol St. Apt. K, Clinton, made his first in-person appearance in Rock County Court at a competency hearing Monday.
A doctor found Robinson is competent and can assist in his defense against three felony counts, including attempted murder, stemming from a May 16 disturbance in his apartment.
Robinson is accused of taking Clinton police officer Dave Hooker's gun from him during a struggle, then pointing the gun at Hooker's chest and pulling the trigger six to eight times, according to court documents.
Hooker kept the gun from firing by pushing back the weapon's slide, police said.
Robinson appeared only for a couple of minutes during the brief hearing, wearing an orange Rock County jail jumpsuit with his hands shackled.
As he left Judge James Daley's courtroom, he and his wife—seated in the gallery—told each other, "I love you."
Robinson spent more than two months on a mental health hold after the incident, and at least part of that time at the Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison. Medical privacy laws prohibit the release of the exact details of Robinson's confinement.
He was booked into the Rock County Jail this morning, an official there said.
Neither Assistant District Attorney Mark M. Jahnke nor Robinson's attorney, Walter Isaacson, challenged the doctor's finding that Robinson is fit to stand trial.
The report leaves unanswered the question of Robinson's competency in May, when authorities said they were called to his apartment after he had made statements about killing everyone in his home and burning it down.
Robinson begged Hooker to kill him, and at one point tried to strangle himself with an electrical cord, according to a criminal complaint.
Asked after the hearing if he would raise the issue of Robinson's mental health during the incident, Isaacson declined to comment, saying he did not want to speculate.
A preliminary hearing in the case was scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Verizon Communications Inc. plans to sell $45 billion to $49 billion of bonds in an eight-part offering as soon as tomorrow that would be the largest on record, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction.
The sale, intended to finance a $130 billion purchase of Vodafone Group Plc's 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless, would be more than twice the size of Apple's Inc.'s unprecedented $17 billion issue in April, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Verizon is planning to sell fixed-rate debt with maturities ranging from three to 30 years as well as two portions of floating-rate securities, said another person, who asked not to be identified because terms aren't set.
"It's very difficult to find an issuer with this type of cachet," said Thomas Chow, a Philadelphia-based money manager at Delaware Investments who helps oversee about $130 billion in fixed-income assets. "It's a market leader, has great assets, operating leverage, and generates a large amount of free cash flow that allows for deleveraging," he said. "As an investor, you've checked every box that you'd want to have checked."
In addition to the dollar offering, Verizon may sell debt denominated in euros, British pounds, and possibly yen, analysts at Societe Generale SA wrote in a Sept. 8 report.
The offering is being managed by Barclays Plc, Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Morgan Stanley, Verizon said in regulatory filings.
Bob Varettoni, a Verizon spokesman, declined to comment on the sale.
Loans Sought
Verizon is also seeking $14 billion of loans to help back the deal, according to a person with knowledge of that transaction. A $6 billion term loan due in three years will pay interest at 1.375 percentage points more than the London interbank offered rate, while a $6 billion term loan maturing in five years will have a rate of 1.5 percentage points more than Libor, said the person, who asked not to be identified citing lack of authorization to speak publicly about the matter.
Libor, the rate at which banks say they can borrow from each other, was set today at 25.59 basis points. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Verizon's three-year fixed-rate notes may yield about 165 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries; the five-year debt may pay a spread of about 190 basis points; the seven-year securities may pay about 215 basis points; the 10-year debt may pay about 225 basis points; the 20-year notes may pay about 250 basis points; and the 30-year bonds may pay about 265, one of the people said.
The company may sell three- and five-year floating-rate notes, the person said.

Janesville schools top state averages in graduation rate
JANESVILLE — The Janesville School District last year outpaced state averages in the percentage of four-year graduates and graduation rates by economically disadvantaged and minority students, according to certified data released Thursday by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
"We're excited about it," said Yolanda Cargile, director of at-risk and multicultural programs. "It feels good to know the work put in is paying off and students benefit from it."
The class of 2013 had an 88 percent graduation rate statewide, up from 87.5 percent in 2011-12 and 85.7 percent in 2010-11, according to the data.
In Janesville, both Craig and Parker high schools were above the state average. Craig graduated 95.1 percent of students, while Parker graduated 91.8 percent. The overall graduation average for students in the district was 89.2 percent, according to the data.
Janesville Virtual Academy, one of the district's charter schools, graduated 69.2 percent and TAGOS Leadership Academy graduated 92.3 percent, according to the data. Rock River Charter School was incorrectly listed as graduating 12.2 percent, said Cargile. She said the number shouldn't have been counted because students there are given a Craig or a Parker diploma and are included in those school's graduation rates each year.
According to statewide data, graduation rates have risen statewide in each of the past three years. Minority scores are also up but are well behind graduation rates for white students.
"In the district, we are ecstatic about the increase we have seen in graduation rates among black or African American and Hispanic/Latino students over the last four years," Cargile said. "Graduation rates have improved by 8.9 percentage points for black or African American students from 2009-2010 to 2012-2013 school years. Graduation rates for Hispanic/Latino students have improved by 15 percentage points from 2009-2010 to 2012-2013 school years."
In Janesville, 79.4 percent of black students completed high school in four years. That number rose to 83.1 percent of Hispanics. Statewide, just 64.8 percent of black students and 74.3 percent of Hispanics graduated in four years, according to the data.
White students in Janesville graduated 90.6 percent of the time. Statewide that number was 92.4 percent, according to the data.
Those numbers were an improvement from last year both in Janesville and statewide. In 2011-12, Janesville graduated 89.4 percent of white students, 71.9 percent of Hispanic students and 61.3 percent of black students, according to the data.
Statewide, 92.2 percent of white students graduated in 2011-12, 74.3 percent of Hispanic students and 62.7 percent of black students, according to the data.
More economically disadvantaged students graduated in four years in 2012-13 in both Janesville and statewide than the year before. Janesville graduated 79.3 percent, while the state averaged 76.6 percent, according to the data.
In 2011-12, Janesville had 76.5 percent of economically disadvantaged students graduate in four years. That number was 74.9 percent statewide last year, according to the data.
"Through the hard work of teachers, school staff members, parents and the students themselves, we are making progress to improve graduation rates for all students," said Tony Evers, state superintendent, in a written statement.
Cargile said the district will continue to strive to improve the graduation rate among its students.
"It's a constant improvement," Cargile said. "We're never satisfied. We always want to improve and give our students the best. We have a continued focus and attention on student achievement."
According to the Associated Press, a recent report by the National Center for Education Statistics showed Wisconsin's graduation rate for 2012 tied for second-highest nationwide alongside Nebraska, Texas and Vermont. Iowa was tops at 89 percent, according to the report.

Hewlett-Packard Co.'s board shakeup, including Ray Lane's exit as chairman, gives Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman a clearer path to revive growth and shake off years of tumult at the world's largest computer maker.
A former president of Oracle Corp., Lane failed to use his extensive experience in enterprise computing to help Hewlett-Packard's turnaround, and his public gaffes -- including being photographed using an Apple Inc. computer -- also sometimes served as an embarrassment to the company.
Lane, 66, instead bore the stain of the disastrous 11-month tenure of former CEO Leo Apotheker and the company's acquisition of software maker Autonomy Corp., which led to an $8.8 billion writedown and accusations of accounting fraud. To build on the momentum that Whitman has begun to show, the board is seeking a new chairman with global experience and who can devote more time and energy to revival efforts, Pat Russo, a company director, said in an e-mailed statement. Until then, Ralph Whitworth will serve as interim chairman.
"Somebody has to be symbolically accountable," said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a management professor at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. "The hope is that it puts this behind them so it doesn't become a governance sideshow."
In addition to Lane's exit, directors G. Kennedy Thompson and John Hammergren are departing, Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard said yesterday in a statement. Lane "decided to step down," Whitworth wrote in a blog posting.
Lane and Whitworth didn't respond to requests via telephone and e-mail for comment.
Lane, a distinguished-looking, gray-haired elder statesman of Silicon Valley, is known as something of enterprise computing's Mr. Fixit. He helped repair Oracle's relationships with its customers in the early '90s and disciplined the company's freewheeling sales culture during his seven-year tenure there. He then stepped in alongside Apotheker after the departure of CEO Mark Hurd, who left in August 2010 after the board said Hurd violated Hewlett-Packard's code of business ethics.
Lane and Apotheker weren't able to make a transition from the lower-profit personal computers and other hardware the company traditionally sold, to more lucrative software, despite a mandate to expand in that area.
Lane is giving up his chairmanship two weeks after investors re-elected him in a narrow majority of votes, issuing a rebuke of his oversight of the botched Autonomy acquisition.
"It's not typical to get a withhold vote, and if you do you'd usually resign," said Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. "Lane deserves credit for stepping down. If he'd stayed on he'd become the issue."
After the March 20 vote, during the company's annual shareholder meeting at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, Lane believed he wasn't given sufficient credit for remaking the company's board and ousting Apotheker, a person familiar with his thinking said. Shareholder unrest was also making it difficult for Hewlett-Packard to attract additional, high-quality directors to its board, this person said.
The second board overhaul in two years underscores shareholders' dissatisfaction with the company's performance and the takeover of Autonomy. The writedown of Autonomy in November capped three years of management upheaval, strategy shifts and slowing growth that hammered the shares and complicated Whitman's turnaround efforts.
"Lane is clearly the fall guy for the botched Autonomy acquisition," said Bill Kreher, an analyst at Edward Jones & Co. who rates Hewlett-Packard a sell. "When he was announced as the chairman, we were pleased with that decision, but at this time it's in the best interest of the company to move on."
Hewlett-Packard and its investors looked to Lane -- a former No. 2 at Oracle with deep roots in enterprise technology and venture capital -- to bring stability and help navigate a transformation away from personal computers into products and services for corporate customers.
His reign instead came to be associated with the ill-fated tenure of Apotheker, who was ousted after 11 months on the job; strategy shifts, such as a flip-flop over whether to sell the PC division; and acquisitions, including Autonomy, that did little to revamp Hewlett-Packard.
"It's the right thing, even if a little late," said Erik Gordon, a professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Lane "was just barely re-elected to the board and was chairman during HP's most horrible years. His legendary status didn't do anything for HP."
Dismay with Lane came to a head in March when he, along with Thompson and Hammergren, were re-elected in slim majorities at Hewlett-Packard's annual shareholder meeting.
Lane, who will remain on the board, received significantly more compensation in Hewlett-Packard shares than other directors during his tenure. In fiscal 2011, Lane received a special equity award of 1 million shares in connection with his appointment as executive chairman, in lieu of the equity retainer of $175,000 that other directors received.
Hammergren and Thompson's tenure will end after a board meeting scheduled for May, and the board has begun a search for new directors, Hewlett-Packard said.
"In the coming months you will see further evolution of our board," Whitworth wrote in the blog entry posted on the "HP Next" website set up to chronicle turnaround efforts. "We will recruit a world-class chairman to take my place as soon as possible, and we also hope to recruit at least two other outstanding directors before the end of this year. While sooner is better, rest assured we will not allow the rush of time to compromise our focus on recruiting the best of the best."
In the run-up to the annual meeting, shareholder advisers had said that board failed to properly vet the acquisition of Autonomy, and recommended that investors vote against Lane and some other members of the 11-person body. Lane garnered 59 percent of votes cast, while director Thompson received 55 percent support and Hammergren received 54 percent. Last year, all three were backed by at least 80 percent of the vote.
"Each one of our directors considered the results of our recent shareholder meeting and made the personal decision to do what they felt was best for HP," Whitworth wrote. "They, like all of us, are passionate about moving beyond the challenges of the past few years so we can focus solely on supporting the HP team as Meg leads us through this Herculean turnaround."
Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co. had faulted the board for the Autonomy writedown, which followed the discovery of accounting improprieties, and for depleting the stock's value through years of mismanagement. ISS had recommended investors vote against Chairman Lane and long- serving directors Hammergren and Thompson.
Glass Lewis also urged shareholders to remove Hammergren and Thompson, as well as venture-capital investor Marc Andreessen and lead independent director Rajiv Gupta.
With Lane stepping down as chairman, Hewlett-Packard said the role of lead independent director is no longer necessary. Gupta, who held that position, will remain on the board and succeed Thompson as the chairman of the audit committee, the company said.
Director Gary Reiner will replace Gupta as chairman of the nominating and governance committee. After Hammergren's departure, Whitworth will chair the finance and investment committee.
While Hewlett-Packard shares have rallied 56 percent this year amid tentative signs that Whitman is making headway in her efforts to reignite growth, the stock has nevertheless lost half its value since the departure of Hurd. Hewlett-Packard rose 1.8 percent to $22.30 at yesterday's close in New York.
The company has shown progress under Whitman, Hewlett-Packard's fourth CEO in three years. It forecast fiscal second-quarter profit in February that topped analysts' estimates amid cost cutting and rebounding demand for enterprise services.
"The company is on a great track," Sonnenfeld said. "Meg has a very good plan."

Police believe pellet gun used to shoot out vehicle windows at Janesville company
JANESVILLE--Police suspect a pellet gun was used to shoot the windows out of a vehicle outside Precision Drawn Metals, 1345 Plainfield Ave. at about 2 p.m. Friday.
Officers were dispatched at 1:59 p.m. for a report of shots fired. Witnesses told police a while male wearing a red or orange baseball cap backward rolled down the window of a small, black, two-door car--possibly a Pontiac Grand Prix--and fired three or four times into the parking lot, according to a release from Janesville police.
"The damage is consistent with a pellet gun, however, a small-caliber firearm is not being ruled out," the release reads.
An employee in the parking lot witnessed the event, according to the release.
It is unknown if the incident is related to recent vandalism to vehicles being shot out overnight in the Janesville Mall parking lot last week, according to the release.
No injuries were reported. No arrests were made, Sgt. Anne Brophy said.
Officers continued to investigate Friday afternoon.

Kunsthaus extension project management
Since 2006 project organization has been adapting dynamically to each phase of the Kunsthaus extension. In late 2009 general responsibilities were transferred to the Einfache Gesellschaft Kunsthaus-Erweiterung and re-assigned. Internal project management has since been chiefly concerned with coordinating the requirements of the building's future user and the demands placed upon the facility with regard to secure operation and efficient maintenance.
Technical services, exhibition organizers and the various art-education, retail and custodial crews: all must enjoy optimal conditions so as to ensure appropriate presentation, high security, and the best possible customer service, and Dag Vierfuss accordingly demands experience and thinking outside the box from curators and section heads alike. The architect with a background in project management is himself familiar with the museum's needs and can represent them within the project team as the latter discuss the future user's wishes with various expert planners, develop solutions, and subject implementation concepts to feasibility studies. Working in tandem with the city of Zurich's relevant project team and David Chipperfield Architects, Vierfuss works up proposals for the building committee so as to guarantee that the extension's infrastructure maximally support all of the Kunsthaus Zürich's offerings.

Great posts Skypatroll. Yes, I heard there already is a visible female increase of haman babies being born. And right on Sky! This is exactly what they want> to curb the population. I am pretty sure she swings with the global trotters and knows that w/ in the next 25 years, there will not be enough oxygen on this planet to go around. So, instead of killing her own sorry arse, she decides to participate in the satanic rituals or pardon be, if not satanic, the n maybe barbaric would have been a better word.....or I get it.....try skinhead...... and just wipe others out. But, you know, it's all London, London.......that warped sychopahant.....>stale, and that's the end of story. But, be forwarned, look at her company.
You know today, while at work, I was thinking, they know the cure and this is all gonna pass, we just have to ride it out and be their lil lab rats, but all will be okay in the long run.....
then, Flash, wake up, I am f-ing dying, you are too if you have this. I honest to God said to self, go home and write a brief public apology to all and to especially her b/c I was rough mannered last evening.....and once again, that thought, all will be okay, they know what they are doing and this is just testing procedures.....
Then, f-ing> wham! Hello, can you say wake the F up London, Honey, you ain't going nowhere but deeper into bad health........
So, Yeah, Lil Sara, if they hate-and or despise me now, just wait......b/c I am not stopping. I have already w/held for too long now......and all I have to say, is if you live North of Me, your ass is going down Baby. Now, I will have a heart and give some grace period. I would not take your offer of help, nor Ginger Savely's if it was my last shot of breath.
Hell, I don't remember who she was, (never heard of her) but when that poster that came on to this site this past summer and tried to give us knowledge to the best of her ability on the ozone,. well, in one of her post, she quoted or reproduced a letter by someone named Cathy???? that supposedly somne of you guys knew. (Keep in mind, I have no idea of who she is or of any prior knowledge of this.) As it ended up being posted this summer, Cathy lost her battle w/ disease .
Point? That I heard, and Lord knows why they told me, since I had neve even heard of this person, that she was sent to Bowen Lab by Media Worm Head, Kowles/ Cowles> whatever,,,,,,and that two weeks later when she came back from Bowen, this is when she suddenly expired.
I'm sorry to hear that, and Randy, I'm sorry to hear that you don;'t like what I post. But Bod dammit girlfriend, if you were sitting in fron of my f-ing face right now, my telepethay and hatred would f-ing rip your appendix out.(since you never lost yours) We have god damn got sick fu kin people here and I am so gd tired of this gd bullshit, you f-ing got it. Go to hell and take oklahoma and wymore and the land and the illegal prairie grass that does not naturally grow there with ya.
i already have a f-ing A-team investigating it.
Twilight zone manic ramblings once again. You are not knowledgable you are just paranoid. and I don't have an appendix anymore. They removed it last month after it burst.

Not a zionist thing.
G-D sent down the angel of death to upon all those that were not Jewish. The Jews were instructed to mark their door with an X of blood from a Lamb.
If you did not do this the angel of death that G-d sent would take your first born son since in Egypt they were mistreating the Jews..like on this site.....hehe......and those that did that were to lose thier first born sons.
That is how the name Passover came about. The angel of death "passed-over" the homes of the Jewish people and took the first born sons of the evil ones. The ones that would not be kind to the Jews and set them free from slavery.
G-D did that..but I do not think he has a computer and knows of this web site so you can not send hate mail to him..sorry.
That is so funny..that is just toooooo funny. I spell my name Yaskal..there are many other spellings like Yaskell Yaskul Yaskull Yaskel Iaskel etc.
In fact Ronnie Yaskell; is a casting director and she is no relation to me at all.
The book is probably about her. She is quite famous.

To all:
The project will help developing new technologies for the bottom-up fabrication of nanoscale electronic devices using principles learned from Nature. We will use a cross-disciplinary approach between biotechnology, materials science, and microelectronics that will result in a set of fabrication tools for the self-assembly of a variety of nanoscale electronic structures, devices, and circuits. These tools will include novel surface-modified semiconductor and metal nanoparticles as functional units, bacterial S-layer proteins as templates for superlattice arrays, and novel nanoscale interconnects. The primary results of the project will be basic technology for bottom-up fabrication and a better understanding of interactions between coupled self-assembled nanoparticle devices.

The Photonic TeraStream - A Prototype Photonic-Empowered Application
The prototype Photonic TeraStream demonstration application at iGRID2002 was developed by iCAIR to illustrate the capabilities and technologies required by next generation large-scale global applications, e.g., high performance data streaming for e-Science High Performance Data Streaming (e.g., Computational Genomics, APS experimentation, medical imaging, etc), global enterprise applications, new types of composite applications. Such new applications could include "Global Services-on-Demand." For example, iCAIR, in partnership with the Materials Sciences Research Center at Northwestern University is developing an International Virtual Institute for Materials Science, which is being funded by the National Science Foundation.
The IVI requires a global capability for a type of high performance application that instantaneously discovers, gathers, integrates, and presents for a global audience information technology resources from throughout the world - including those comprised of multiple data types.
These resources include large-scale data streams from experimental repositories at remote locations, scientific visualizations and digital media, and computational processes. Consequently, the Photonic TeraStream application at iGRID2002 is a "composite application" - integrating several component applications. The Photonic TeraStream demonstrates the potential for creating global applications that do not have to be compromised because of the data communication infrastructure restrictions. Photonic TeraStream is a composite demonstration application linking, high performance data transfer (based on Grid FTP), digital media streaming (270 Mbps encoding), high performance remote data access methods (based on iSCSI), and dynamic provisioning. The Photonic TeraStream is supported by an innovative architectural method that envisions a) closer integration between applications and advanced networks and b) liberating applications from multiple restrictions inherent in today's communication infrastructure. Key technologies that comprise the demonstration are a) intelligent application signaling, b) dynamic lambda provisioning on the OMNInet testbed, c) extensions to lightpaths through dynamically provisioned L2 and L3 configurations, in part, to allow for access to multiple types of edge resources. The iCAIR iGRID2002 demonstration shows how such applications can use intelligent signaling to provision their own lightpaths to optimize network based resource discovery and performance, for example, to enable access to and dynamic interaction with very large amounts of distributed data. Lightwave-based applications supported by dynamic lambda-switching provide for significantly more powerful capabilities than those based on today's communication infrastructure.
Many of the technologies related to the Photonic-Empowered Application demonstrations at iGRID2002 have been developed on OMNInet, a metro area photonic networking testbed in Chicago. OMNInet has been established, in part, to create a reference model for next generation optical metro networks (http://www.icair.org/omninet). At iGRID2002, this testbed is being extended to Amsterdam through StarLight and NetherLight in order to demonstrate that Photonic Enabled Applications are possible not only on next generation optical metro area networks (such as OMNInet), but can also be extended to global networks, e.g., through StarLight and NetherLight, as a basis for the global lambda Grid. StarLight is a next-generation global optical networking exchange facility in Chicago (http://www.startap.net/starlight), and NetherLight is a trans-Atlantic high performance link connecting StarLight to SURFnet in Amsterdam. NetherLight is a facility devoted to research, that is, experimental, not production, networking. (Ref: Photonic TeraStream Diagram). The foundation infrastructure for these next-generation applications consists of advanced optical networks which are currently emerging as experimental networks that are by design not production networks. They are leading-edge, innovative networks designed as a means to create a wide range of advanced networking technology.

I think we ought to go to this conference. Wow exciting people there.
or this one:
this is what is coming next Artificial/Human construct.
Heck, we are still trying to figure out the prokaryote to eukaryote construct. Single cell to multi cell transfer and operons.
One thing TT says, the fiber is a protein, made of polymer, which could artificially be produced with promoter genes, and transferon vectors, on one of our receptor proteins.
One link you provided said peptides have chain and the needed to be connected. So by some clicking method the connection is produced. Also, a way by dipeptide can destroy proteins. Now, could this fiber we see be the natural proteins leaving our bodies being replaced by the dipeptide? Will dig some more on that one. I am intrigued by this because this is the new line of drugs that are going to be on the market, which means through drugs a new DNA alteration will take place, and this would be unseen and yet all medical folks would know the ingredients of such drugs. The public would never know, would they? Pretty slick for an old butterfly. The slide right into artificial life/ human
would be so darn easy, wouldn't it?
You see we are stuck on the biologicial environmental onslaught most likely by the bucky ball fullerene technique, which could substitute anything in the overhead control of our blue skies and control of every organism on earth. Quite an endeavor. Spraying like heck here again. Wonder what we get this time? Bioshield, oops Bioweapon number 20?
thanks for posting that again, I read it through again with new eyes and I see some clarity there.
It is hard because this construct that we are trying to figure out is and has already been done, so we are trying to look for something in the past, and many papers are burned on those, as the plot unfolds from the devious minds of those who think the human body cannot live in it's natural state.
For one thing the quorem sensing, the signalling, the shaft(thallus - plant -like stem), eat your broccoli, chorella, cauliflour, corn, rye, rice, spinach,.........any which way but what is natural.
What a scam, "I see the clouds on both sides now"
Next, is the artificial, for nature will be a thing of the past. I think I will start taking pictures now just to preserve what we had and are losing.
Artificial and does not burn, is now replacing asbestos. Wonder if it has just as much effect on the human body?
Activated novoloid carbon fiber.
Because of their infusibility, excellent chemical and flame resistance, low evolution of smoke and toxic gases, and low specific gravity KynolTM novoloid fibers are used, either alone or in combination with other materials, to replace asbestos in many applications. For example, heavy woven KynolTM fabrics, often reinforced with glass filaments and coated with aluminum or FR rubber, are used in place of asbestos textiles in areas requiring resistance to flame and molten metal splash; these KynolTM materials are much lighter and easier to manipulate than the conventional asbestos materials providing equivalent levels of protection.
In a number of areas where there is strong incentive for the replacement of asbestos it has become apparent that there is no one fiber which can fill all of the roles hitherto performed by asbestos, and that a combination of materials will provide the best solution. In such cases the high compatibility of KynolTM fibers with resins and elastomers and their ability to cross-link chemically with such materials (see the following
section) result in their inclusion in the asbestos-replacement mix. For instance, in high-temperature gaskets and in friction materials such as brakes and clutch facings, glass, aramid, or metallic fibers provide the required tensile strength while KynolTM novoloid fibers contribute increased dimensional and thermal stability by crosslinking with the basic matrix material.
Typical Applications
Protective curtains for flame and radiant heat
Protective curtains for metal splash
Flame resistant ventilation ducts for tunnel and dam construction
Gaskets and braided packings
Brake linings, wet and dry clutch facings
KynolTM fibers and textile materials are used in combination with a wide variety of matrices, including thermosetting and thermoplastic resins, elastomers, and ceramics, to create composite materials with improved performance in such properties as heat resistance, impermeability, compressive strength, shock resistance, dimensional stability, and hardness. Due to the comparatively modest strength of the fibers themselves tensile strength generally is not markedly increased by the addition of KynolTM fibers; however the low specific gravity of the fibers often leads to a reduction in weight of the composite material.
In such composite applications KynolTM fibers generally display easy and uniform dispersion and excellent fiber-to-matrix wetting and adhesion. Moreover the novoloid molecular structure includes a significant number of methylol (-CH2OH) groups (see sketch) which are available for cross-linking with reactive sites in the matrix material. This ability of the fibers to react chemically with such materials as phenolic and epoxy resins and high-performance synthetic rubbers frequently leads to remarkable synergistic improvements in the high-temperature performance and stability of composite materials - improvements which would not be expected solely on the basis of the properties of the fiber and matrix viewed separately.
Addition of small amounts of KynolTM fiber to polypropylene has been demonstrated to produce improvements in heat resistance and reduction in specific gravity; results are even more interesting when the chemistry of the thermoplastic matrix provides the opportunity for cross-linking as described above. Thus addition of KynolTM fibers to PVC raises the melting point of the resin and with a fiber contents of about 15 wt% the material becomes non-melting. Similar results are seen with polyamides (nylon). Potential applications include printed circuit boards and electrical panels. In combination with polyester resins KynolTM fibers provide lightweight, readily machinable composites with excellent cold resistance for water piping and similar applications. KynolTM paper surface mats and veils, applied in combination with polyester and other resins, are used to create long-lasting tank linings for use with such highly corrosive materials as hydrofluoric acid.
Because of the similarity in chemical structure, KynolTM novoloid fibers are particularly suitable as fillers for phenolic resins. As much as 70 wt% of the fiber may be incorporated into a resole matrix. A novoloid-resole composite as better thermal stability (up to 230 C), thermal insulation, electrical resistance, high-temperature shock resistance, and machinability than resins filled with other fibers. Similar results are obtained with epoxies and other reactive resins. Applications include heat-resistant automotive and electrical parts and chemical-resistant composites.
KynolTM novoloid fibers are excellent candidates for improving the high-temperature performance of such elastomers as chlorinated polyethylene (CPE); ethylene-propylene, acrylic, and nitrile rubbers; chlorosulfonated polyethylene; and polytetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE). High ratios of uniform rubber incorporation, better than 50 wt% if required, are obtained with conventional rubber-processing equipment due to the high compatibility of the fiber with these materials.
The cross-linking reaction described earlier plays an important part in the upgrading of high-temperature performance of elastomers. As an example, CPE is a difficult material to reinforce because the HCl released on curing attacks most fibers. KynolTM fibers are not only unaffected by HCl; the acid actually serves to catalyze the cross-linking reaction. In fact the fiber itself may be used as the sole curing agent for pure (unformulated) CPE, yielding a composite product with good hardness, dimensional stability, and resistance to heat, flame, and chemical attack. (Because of the relatively low resistance of KynolTM fibers to sulfuric acid, sulfur-based curing systems should be avoided in favor of peroxide-based cures.)
Applications for novoloid-filled elastomers include cushion boards and rollers; chemical, solvent, and fuel hoses; ducts, gaskets, and packings; and the coating or saturation of novoloid fabrics for use in ducts and hoses and as protective sheets and drop cloths.
Addition of small amounts of KynolTM fibers to unfired ceramics serves to stabilize the material during firing and increases the strength and integrity of the final product. Applications include daubable furnace linings and fire bricks. The fiber is also used in clay-based sprayable fire-protective coatings for electrical cables: in the event of a fire, the fiber maintains the integrity of the coating until the temperature becomes high enough for the material to ceramicize.
Low-temperature insulation for liquefied natural gas (LNG)

The number of finance and other back-office jobs at big companies in North America and Europe will continue to decline over the next few years, although the pace of such job losses is slowing, according to a recent report by The Hackett Group.
Hackett revised up its forecast for the number of business services jobs that will be lost in coming years in response to the International Monetary Fund's gloomier outlook on the global economy. The business advisory firm recently estimated that another 604,000 such jobs, including finance, HR, IT and procurement positions, will have disappeared by the end of 2017.
"We made a downward adjustment to these projections strictly following the IMF numbers," said Erik Dorr, senior enterprise research director at Hackett. "That paints a slightly bleaker picture than we put out the year before."
The decline that Hackett is forecasting in overall business service jobs in coming years pales in comparison with the plunge that has occurred. Hackett reported a 38% drop, to just 4.9 million such jobs in 2013, from 8 million in 2002. It now sees the number of business services jobs bottoming out at 4.3 million in 2017, down from the 4.5 million total it forecast for 2017 in last year's report.
Roughly half of the decline that Hackett expects over the next four years will occur in finance jobs. The firm expects a 312,986 decrease in finance jobs at big companies in North America and Europe over the next four years. (See chart.) Its data show that finance jobs at such companies already contracted from 3 million in 2002 to 1.9 million this year.
In addition to the IMF forecasts, Hackett's projections take into account data from its benchmarking studies about productivity gains and offshoring.
Large corporations' use of technology to improve productivity and shifting jobs to cheaper offshore locations has not only driven the losses in back-office work in North America and Europe, but has led to a new standard for getting such work done, the global business services unit, according to Hackett.
"The essence of what's going on is a redesign of the enterprise model for companies," Dorr said.
In the global business services unit model, companies have a separate unit that provides all the other business units with services like accounts payable and accounts receivable, IT or HR.
Honorio Padrón, a principal at Hackett and leader of its global business services practice, said 78% of the companies Hackett benchmarks now have a global business services unit that performs two or more functions, although he noted those units are at varying stages of maturity. "It is a winning strategy, and more and more companies are figuring that out," said Padrón, pictured at left.
Hackett's research shows that a company that moves work to a global business services unit can see its costs for that work cut by 19% in the first year and it will continue to realize recurring productivity gains each year.
Padrón attributes those results to the focus that a global business service unit can give to the work it does, the process improvements it can implement and the competencies it develops. "When you put someone in charge of looking across the enterprise horizontally, the connections get made in a better and more efficient way," he said.
Dorr noted that global business services units also enjoy economics of scale.
As more routine back-office work is automated or moved offshore, companies have less need of employees with transactional skills. But there is still good demand for "knowledge-centric" workers, according to the Hackett report, as well as a shortage of workers with certain types of skills.
"For the foreseeable future, there's going to be a shortage of technical skills," Dorr said. "There is an explosion of new technologies like wireless and there's simply a lack of resources to do that kind of work."
"Someone will say, there are more jobs in the U.S. than ever before in IT," Padrón said. "But the growth is not in the back office, the growth is everywhere else."
There are three types of employees in great demand currently: those with expertise in change and transformation; those who can work with data and make sense of it, in such areas as data analysis and data mining; and those who can manage services within the business, Padrón said.
As wages have headed higher in some popular outsourcing locations, such as India, there has been talk that companies may bring some work back. But Padrón said it still makes financial sense to do work overseas.
"There's been movement in some of the labor arbitrage being reduced, but the variation is still so large that it does not make sense to bring all that back," he said, adding that costs are also rising in the U.S., and healthcare reform could push them still higher.

Flaws of Life in a Tube
Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
No, it just means that everyone has realized that any attempt to reason with a creationist is futile.
if you science was proven, replicated, and observed, instead of a mass of conjectures that could change to compensate for any problem, I would be on your side. And if the theory of evolution didnt disagree with population statistics, then I would be in agreement with the theory of evolution. However, this is not. so.
The population statistics can be found in the thread "Irrefutable Evidence Against Evolution". Also, there is the earth's magnetic field there.
Its not even that its anything against you or anyone. Its that evolution cannot account for certain things, and it all just doesnt line up. You'll see what I mean by Irrefutable Evidence. Seriously consider the evidence, because what is posted there are established, well known facts that evolution does not agree with.
I will copy and paste the two arguments here:
2)The Age of the Sun (Russian Sun Study and Earth's Magnetic Field)
For the theory of evolution to be possible, the sun had to have existed throughout the duration of the evolutionary time scale. Life as we know it could not have developed or exist without the sun in tow. A study was done on the sun by Russian scientists. Based on the sun's rate of nuclear fusion, the Russian scientists found the sun to be 10,000-30,000 years old.
Also supporting young age is the strength of the earth's magnetic field. Scientists have found that the magnetic field is reducing in strength at a rapid rate, with a half life of about 1,400 years. If that rate is reversed, the strength of the earth's magnetic field 20,000 years ago would be that of a magnetic star. This supports Earth's young age, as appose to evolution's over estimation.
3)Population Statistics
This science is above all the most convincing. As you can see in the chart of population growth, the human population stays relatividly stable until there is an excessive amount of exponential growth. According to evolution, humans appeared 200,000 years ago, and the modern human 40,000 years ago. The application of population growth rate has been estimated at 2%, yet it has been shown to be 1%. Every 82 years, one-third of the population is wiped out by disease, war, etc. If these rules are applied, over the course of 41,000 years, according to the observed science of population statistics, there would be 2x10^89 humans in existence today. In other words, 200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. The current population is 6900000000. There is not enough room on earth to hold this many bodies.
This is not conjecture. This is a science of population statistics. Evolution does not conform to this.
The other facts can be found in the thread "Irrefutable Evidence Against Evolution". You may argue the lysosome and digestive system, but otherwise, how could you get around the fact? I dont understand how yo guys continue to argue. Honestly, I want to ask: why do you guys keep arguing?
-facts, observed events, plausible explanations, and solid evidence
I don't have much time today, so I'll post a very brief response:
(1) You don't seem to have an argument 1.
(2) Which Russian scientists? Can you post a link to the study? What have they done differently that all the other scientists have not done in order to estimate the age of the universe? Why is the age they have calculated contradictory to all evidence about the age of the planets in the solar system, including the Earth, which have been calculated using more accurate techniques?
(3) How has the population growth rate estimated? How can you conclude that this is applicable throughout history since the beginnings of Homo sapiens? How does this estimation account for events such as the Bubonic plague, and the recent spike in population growth since the Industrial Revolution?
Posting false studies which have little or no significance does not impress me.
By the way, I have been busy for the past two days or so, and I have not responded to your previous post because the answers to your questions can be found easily in a standard biology textbook.
Re: Re:
Takeš a deep breath, think about it once again and make for yourself clear, whether you want answers or not.
Nut I agree, why do we keep arguing with someone, who believes the sun is old only 40 000 years and Earth just celebrated 6000th anniversary?
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Just because we think differently and most likely wont budge does not mean that we cannot debate and consider the facts in totality. This does not mean that we cannot look at each other's data and explanations and debate to find the truth after truly considering wether evolution is truly possible.
My question was not sarcastic. It was a serious question. I really wanted to know. However, if you do not wish to venture there, you do not have to.
I posted the full piece on Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution. I will say the same thing here as I said there: I saw it 2 years on http://www.biologynews.net/ It was published in a prominent England science journal. I did not take down the link, and am unable to refer to the study. I did not mention this there, but since I am unable to procure the exact source, not that I did not read it 2 years ago and that it isnt true, I should retract that statement. I am not admitting to falsifying data, but since I am not able to procure a source, I should retract that statement.
-facts, observed events, plausible explanations, and solid evidence
Tomn, you should join another thread about23008.html I'm sure you will have lots to say in there.
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
yes I enjoyed what he said quite thoroughly. What he sais is true, and you could even visit the thread to see my testimony of being shouted out by evolutionists.
Although, I am Christian and he is Islamic, and in that we differ.
Thats more evidence for you against evolution, and the truth about their tactics.
Also, shouldn't you seek the truth rather than see everything with an evolutionist film over you eyes? The facts dont agree with evolution. You guys conjecture the impossibilities as possible, but the problem with evolution is that it has to agree with every other science: physics, chemistry, population statistics, etc, but it doesnt.
-facts, observed events, plausible explanations, and solid evidence
age of sun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Life_cycle
I will tell you a secret, if the population is limited in some resources, it doesn't grow. Thanks to christians there was the dark age in Europe for few centuries which pretty much limited the scientific and technological progress and caused several famines, Black Death breaks and other diseases which caused significant reduction in human population. On other continents the populations were quite stable because of limited resources.
So, the carbon is not a problem anymore?
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
carbon is still a problem. It is impossible for anything with a atomic number of 2 or more to form randomly. I'm sure I dont have to recount the argument.
Did you give an explanation for how this is possible? If so, I did not see it and must have missed it.
Big bang gives an explanation for how this could have happened, but by that explanation, it is quite impossible: nothing, taking itself and turning into something. It simply isnt possible for nothing to turn into something. Keep in mind that the atomic number is equal to the number of protons in a nucleus of an atom. Science has no viable answer for how 2 or more protons got into the same nucleus.
Carbon, and all elements with atomic number of 2 or more, is still a problem.
-facts, observed events, plausible explanations, and solid evidence
So, it's hard for you to believe that nothing formed into something, but you believe that nothing formed everything. Quite interesting.
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
since when have I said this?
I have never said this.
If you are referring to my God, let me correct you: God is not a "nothing". He is an invisible spirit, in which in his likeness is every man made.
I have explained before that there are people who have been healed by the power of Jesus, people that once had a disease and have been miraculously healed in a fashion that non-believing medical doctors cannot explain, especially because they do not know the power of God and they dont want to believe it. You dont want to believe it. Evolution has no explanation for the power of Jesus, the same power that created the universe.
You dont want to believe it? Find a viable way this universe was created. Evolution and big bang are too far stretched and are simply not possible. You know my thread Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution.
-facts, observed events, plausible explanations, and solid evidence
So you're saying that the complicated universe was created by an even more complicated being? May I ask where this being came from?
What evidence is there that Jesus had these powers? Don't other holy books have their own prophets believed to have mystical powers as well: Muhammad, Krishna, Apollo, etc.? What explanation is there for their "mystical powers" that have been given to them by their own respective god(s)?
Too far stretched? What it appears is that either you do not have enough knowledge to understand it, or you force yourself to deny it (most likely both). And yes, I do know that thread. Turns out the entire thread is a misnomer: they are not facts, they are not irrefutable, and they are not against evolution.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) proposed new position limits for commodity derivatives last week, but that proposal isn't expected to have much impact on most corporations that use derivatives to hedge risks. Meanwhile, companies are still waiting to learn whether U.S. banking regulators will require derivative end users to post margin.
The CFTC's proposal to limit the number of contracts a single firm can hold in 28 different commodities follows a court's rejection of a previous position-limit proposal from the commission.
Luke Zubrod, a director at Chatham Financial, downplayed the importance of the CFTC's proposal for corporate end users, noting that the limits involve agricultural, metals and energy contracts. "The big areas of interest rates and foreign currencies are untouched by the position limits rules," Zubrod said.
A company with some exposure to such commodities, like a supermarket chain that uses oil to make deliveries, "might be exposed to one of the oil contracts that shows up under this position limit rule, but you likely won't be exposed to that to such a degree that you would worry about bumping up against those position limits," he said.
The position limits could potentially affect liquidity and pricing for corporate end users that trade with an organization subject to the limits, Zubrod added.
Meanwhile, companies that use derivatives still have hanging over their heads the possibility that they could be subject to margin requirements. Corporations have argued that the capital tied up by margin requirements would weaken capital spending and could result in job losses.
U.S. banking regulators have been waiting for a report from a G-20 working group on margin requirements before coming out with their own proposal. That G-20 report, issued in September, suggested that corporate end users need not post margin.
Despite the G-20 group's position, Zubrod said it seems likely U.S. regulators will require that corporate end-users post margin on derivatives. "What the Fed is clear about is that they don't think they have the authority to put a margin exemption out there for anybody," he said. "They did recommend a lighter touch with corporate end users, but they did recommend that corporate end users be subject to some sort of margin regime.
"Though I would be quite delighted to see that their re-proposed rule on margins changes their approach on end users, I think they'll stay the course, and end users will still have a problem to deal with," he said.
There have been attempts on the Hill to eliminate the prospect of a margin requirement for corporates. In June, the House of Representatives passed a measure, H.R. 634, that would exempt corporate end users from margin requirements, by a vote of 411 to 12.
The legislation seems to be off to a good start, but Zubrod, pictured at left, notes that at this point, "nothing is really moving in the Senate, let along anything connected with Dodd-Frank."
The bill passed by the House is "very politically sympathetic and consistent with Congressional intent and has received broad bipartisan support in the House," he said. "In spite of those things, they're just running into the broader challenges in passing legislation in the Senate."
When Jacob Lew was appointed Secretary of the Treasury, he wrote a letter indicating that Congress shouldn't pass any changes on Dodd-Frank, "at least until the regulatory rule-making process has run its course," Zubrod said. "For the time being, the administration and, by extension, the Democrats in the Senate have taken an approach of not opening the door to change."
While corporate end users have been exempted from many Dodd-Frank derivatives rules, they're likely to end up paying more to trade derivatives as banks pass on to their corporate customers the cost of complying with the new regulations. But Zubrod said it will take time for that price impact to become evident.
"The factors involving derivative pricing come from capital and margin requirements that become effective between now and 2019," he said. "Therefore, the evolution in derivative pricing will unfold over that same time frame."

Your Views: Are problem schools, workers really at root of Wisconsin's jobs issue?
Failing schools and dumb workers have been cited by the Walker administration as the factors responsible for weak job creation. Walker's policymakers claim that a "skills gap," a shortage of trained workers, has resulted in thousands of jobs going unfilled in Wisconsin.
Apparently we are to believe that Wisconsin's labor force skills eroded and workers became "unqualified" upon Walker becoming governor. Seventy percent of the projected Wisconsin job openings through 2020 require a high school education or less. Wisconsin actually has too many highly educated workers for too few "skilled jobs."
It is a myth that jobs are going unfilled. Even if every unemployed person were trained for existing Wisconsin jobs, two-thirds would still be out of work! Walker's tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, Act 10's gutting public schools and public-employee pay ($1 billion lost in take-home pay), coupled with forced austerity for the working and middle class, have hammered family budgets, lowering consumer spending and demand that leads to job creation.
Promoting policies in response to an "imaginary skills gap" is poor economic policy and will not bring jobs to Wisconsin. The time has long passed for the governor, Legislature and media to dismiss the myth that an expanded pool of trained workers will lead employers to create more jobs. A "fake" skills gap will do little to improve the jobs problem in Wisconsin.

Whatever happened to the Rollerblade craze?
I was getting exercise atop a ladder, trimming Boston ivy off our windows and roof eaves during a day off Monday, when I heard an odd noise coming down the street. I glanced back and down as a woman with in-line skates—commonly known by the brand name Rollerblades—rolled past with a dog galloping alongside her.
Hmm, I thought. I can remember when a bicycle ride on our city's network of bike paths took me past many Rollerbladers. Now, I could probably get a good workout on the bike path and never pass anyone using in-line skates.
My wife, Cheryl, and I bought in-line skates years ago, but we rarely used them. I don't think we got ones that were of good enough quality that they rolled well without causing over-exertion. When we got our first cairn terrier, twice-daily dog walks seemed to erase any opportunity or interest in Rollerblading. Cheryl and I were never comfortable enough on the skates to use them while our dog jogged along with us—we likely would have wiped out. Eventually, I sold my skates at a rummage sale; Cheryl's are still collecting dust in our basement.
So whatever happened to what seemed like a Rollerblading craze that would be around for the long haul? Why did this exercise option seem to fizzle so soon?

Doctor: Larry Shannon competent to stand trial for Whitewater attempted murder
Gazette staff
Friday, October 18, 2013
ELKHORN—A Whitewater man charged with trying to kill two young girls and leading police on a high-speed chase is fit to stand trial, a doctor said this week.
An attorney for Larry Shannon, who Walworth County prosecutors have charged with 11 felonies including attempted murder and child sexual assault, requested a competency hearing for him in September.
Assistant Public Defender Travis Schwantes told the court he believed mental illness made Shannon unable to assist in his defense.
At a hearing on Tuesday, however, a court-appointed doctor said Shannon is competent and can proceed with the case.
The court scheduled Shannon for a jury trial in January.

Cheba Hut's cheeky image belies quality food
MADISON—It should come as no great surprise that the "counterculture"—a term coined in a 1969 book that defined the alternative-lifestyle social phenomenon—is alive and well in Madison.
One example of its continuing presence here is the recent opening of Cheba Hut downtown on Gilman Street. The sandwich restaurant caters to UW-Madison students as well as a laid-back segment of the population that still identifies with hippie culture, which seems to have gained momentum with the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington State.
In fact, voters in Dane County will find a nonbinding referendum question on legalizing marijuana on the April 1 ballot.
Cheba Hut is the Madison franchise of a national marijuana-themed sub sandwich shop that goes all out to play the part. The business started in Tempe, Ariz., in 1998 and has expanded to 16 restaurants. The Madison location is the only shop east of the Mississippi River.
The restaurant's design scheme includes a psychedelic lime green and tangerine orange interior. The dining room is decorated with wall posters of the Beatles and their contemporaries, colorful murals depicting tropical beach scenes and VW vans, along with a wall clock that's set permanently at 4:20.
If those elements aren't strong enough hints of the franchise's orientation, one look at its menu will remove all doubt. Its "toasted" subs come in three sizes: the nug (4 inches), the pinner (8 inches) and the blunt (12 inches). Vegetarian sandwiches are designated on the menu with a small cannabis leaf, and sandwiches are named for various strains of pot.
But you don't have to be a stoner to recognize that the quality of these sandwiches is a cut above the typical Subway or Quiznos franchise.
Cheba Hut offers four vegetarian subs, 20 sandwiches with deli meat, four salads and a half-dozen desserts under the "munchies" category. There's also a side bar with microbrews on tap.
If you're lucky enough to find yourself at the Hut during its happy hour—4:20 to 6:20 p.m.—you can get craft beer for $2 a pint.
As classic rock tunes play over the sound system, customers place orders at a front counter and wait for the food to be delivered to their tables.
When we visited, the place was doing a brisk business, with a mix of customers ranging from college age to those who might have been around to experience the late 1960s.
The folks who run Cheba Hut are so mellow and friendly. When a person in our party of four mentioned how appetizing some M&M cookies looked, the franchise owner quickly handed her one on the house.
One key to the success of the shop's sandwiches is the soft, airy bread made in white, whole wheat or garlic herb. My nug-sized sandwich—the Chronic—featured thinly sliced barbecued roast beef with bell peppers, mushrooms and cheddar cheese ($4.49).
The sandwich was outstanding, but a Greek salad ($7.49) was a big letdown. It was loaded with savory kalamata olives but contained little to no grilled chicken and mostly forgettable greens, slices of cucumber and red onions. It had scant feta cheese, and worst of all, big chunks of bland tomato.
Other salads include chicken bacon with ranch dressing ($7.49), an antipasto ($6) and a tuna salad ($6.49).
The Griefo sandwich provided a whiff of cream cheese and veggies in a delightful sandwich ($6.59 for a pinner). The tender bread was piled high with pepper jack cheese, cream cheese, guacamole, alfalfa sprouts, spring mix greens, onions, black olives, mushrooms, cucumbers, pickles and tomatoes with a house dressing.
The Silver Haze ($3.99, $5.99 or $7.99) is a sandwich with a choice of house-made hummus—regular or roasted bell pepper—and Swiss cheese, pepperoncinis, spring mix greens, sprouts, onions, mushrooms, black olives and cucumbers. A friend opted for both types of hummus—one on each half of his pinner—and found each surprisingly spicy hot, yet delicious.
Another in our group was big on the Kali Mist, a California club with turkey breast, chipotle mayo, fresh jalapenos, bacon, pepper jack cheese and avocado ($4.29, $6.59 and $8.99.)
Cheba Hut's ganja theme is meant to be playful and fun. The place is clean and well-lit, with good variety and affordable prices.
We shared the M&M cookie for dessert but could have opted for a Rice Krispie bar ($2.29), a goo ball (Rice Krispies, peanut butter, honey and cocoa, $2.49) or a house-made brownie (the legal kind, $1.99).
Cheba Hut certainly isn't for everyone. Still, if you're in downtown Madison, hungry and on a budget—or just looking for a left-of-center place to hang for a beer and a good sandwich—this might be the place for you.
