4.2.1 after placing an order, the Buyer will receive an email from SBS acknowledging that SBS has received the Buyer's order. This does not mean that the Buyer's order has been accepted. The Buyer's order constitutes an offer to SBS to buy Serology Products, which SBS shall be free to accept or decline at our absolute discretion. All orders are subject to acceptance by SBS, and SBS will confirm such acceptance to the Buyer by sending the Buyer an email that confirms that the Serology Products have been dispatched (the "Dispatch Note"). The Contract between SBS will only be formed when SBS sends the Buyer the Dispatch Note; and
4.2.2 the Contract will relate only to those Serology Products which SBS has confirmed in the Dispatch Note. SBS will not be obliged to sell any other Serology Products which may have been part of the Buyer's order until such Serology Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Note.
4.3 Where the Buyer places an order other than through the Website:
4.3.1 each order or acceptance of a quotation for the Serology Products by the Buyer from SBS shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to buy the Serology Products subject to these Conditions, which SBS shall be free to accept or decline at our absolute discretion; and
4.3.2 no order placed by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by SBS until a written acknowledgement of order is issued by SBS or (if earlier) SBS delivers the Serology Products to the Buyer.
4.4 The Buyer may, at any time before the Serology Products are dispatched to the Buyer, amend or cancel an order for Serology Products by providing SBS with written notice and, if the Buyer amends or cancels any such order, the Buyer's liability to SBS shall be limited to payment to SBS of all costs reasonably incurred by SBS in fulfilling the order until SBS' receipt of the Buyer's amendment or cancellation.
5.1 The quantities in which Serology Products are supplied are as set out in the corresponding Dispatch Note, and the description of the Serology Products shall be as set out in the corresponding Certificate of Analysis and Material Safety Data Sheet or (if there is no Certificate of Analysis or Material Safety Data Sheet) as set out in SBS' quotation (if any) or on the Website.
5.2 All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by SBS and any descriptions or illustrations contained in SBS' catalogues or brochures or contained in any Certificate(s) of Analysis or Material Safety Data Sheet(s) or displayed on the Website are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Serology Products described in them.

6.2 Any dates specified by SBS for delivery of the Serology Products in SBS' written acknowledgement of order (if any) or the corresponding Dispatch Note or otherwise agreed in writing by SBS are intended to be an estimate only and, although SBS shall use all reasonable endeavours to deliver Serology Products by the dates specified for their delivery (if any), time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If no dates are so specified, delivery will take place within such time period as the parties agree between them is reasonable in the applicable circumstances (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, in the absence of such agreement, within 180 days.
6.3 Subject to the other provisions of these Conditions, SBS shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Serology Products (even if caused by SBS' negligence), nor shall any delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days.
6.4 Unless delivery of any Serology Products under Condition 6.1 above takes place at SBS' place of business and/or the carrier of the Serology Products is nominated by the Buyer or delivery of the Serology Products is otherwise outside SBS' reasonable control, SBS shall (subject to Condition 16.1 below) be responsible for any damage to or loss of the Serology Products while in transit up to the point of their delivery under Condition 6.1 above, provided that: (i) the Buyer notifies the damage or loss to SBS (or its carrier, if applicable) within three days of delivery of the Serology Products; and (ii) the Serology Products have been handled in accordance with SBS' stipulations. Any remedy under this Condition 6.4 shall be limited, at the option of SBS, to replacing any of the Serology Products which are proven to SBS' satisfaction to have been lost or damaged in transit within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note at the pro-rata Contract rate against any invoice raised for such Serology Products.

6.5.1 risk in the Serology Products shall pass to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by SBS' negligence);
6.5.2 the Serology Products shall be deemed to have been delivered; and
6.5.3 SBS may store the Serology Products until delivery, whereupon the Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance); or
6.5.4 SBS may sell the Serology Products at the best price readily obtainable and (after deduction of all costs and expenses referred to in Condition 6.5.3 above and selling expenses) account to the Buyer of the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price in the Contract.
6.6 SBS may deliver the Serology Products by separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.
6.7 Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.
7.1 The quantity of any consignment of Serology Products as recorded by SBS on dispatch from SBS' place of business shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Buyer on delivery under Condition 6.1 above unless the Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
7.2 SBS shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Serology Products (even if caused by SBS' negligence) unless the Buyer gives written notice to SBS of the non-delivery within ten days of the date when the Serology Products would in the ordinary course of events have been delivered under Condition 6.1 above.
7.3 Unless delivery of any Serology Products under Condition 6.1 above takes place at SBS' place of business and/or the carrier of the Serology Products is nominated by the Buyer or delivery of the Serology Products is otherwise outside SBS' reasonable control, SBS shall (subject to Condition 16.1 below) be responsible for any non-delivery of the Serology Products, provided that: (i) the Buyer notifies the non-delivery to SBS (or its carrier, if applicable) within seven days of their collection by or delivery to the relevant carrier; and (ii) the Serology Products have been handled in accordance with SBS' stipulations. Any remedy under this Condition 7.3 shall be limited, at the option of SBS, to replacing the undelivered Serology Products within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note at the pro-rata Contract rate against any invoice raised for such Serology Products.
8.1 The Serology Products are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of their delivery under Condition 6.1 above.
8.2 Ownership of the Serology Products shall not pass to the Buyer until SBS has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to it in respect of:
8.2.1 the Serology Products; and

8.3 SBS shall be entitled to recover payment for the Serology Products notwithstanding that ownership of any of the Serology Products has not passed from SBS.
8.4 On termination of the Contract, howsoever caused, SBS' (but not the Buyer's) rights contained in this Condition 8 shall remain in effect.
9.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by SBS, the price for the Serology Products shall be the price set out in SBS' price list published on the date that the order shall be deemed to be accepted by SBS (except in the case of obvious manifest error).
9.2 The price for the Serology Products shall be exclusive of any value added tax, all currency and banking charges applicable to the payment method used and all costs or charges in relation to loading, unloading, carriage and insurance (including, without limitation, any import duties or taxes), packaging and dry ice all of which amounts the Buyer shall pay in addition when it is due to pay for the Serology Products.
9.3 The Website contains a large number of products and services and it is always possible that, despite SBS' best efforts, some of the Serology Products listed on the Website may be incorrectly priced. SBS will normally verify prices as part of its dispatch procedures so that, where a correct price is less than SBS' stated price, SBS will charge the lower amount. If a correct price is higher than the price stated on the Website, SBS will normally, at its discretion, either contact the Buyer for instructions before performing the Contract, or reject the Buyer's order and notify it of such rejection.
9.4 SBS is under no obligation to sell the Serology Products to the Buyer at the incorrect (lower) price, even after SBS has sent the Buyer an acknowledgement of order or a Dispatch Note, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Buyer as a mispricing.
9.5 SBS reserves the right to increase the price of the Serology Products to reflect increases in the cost to SBS which is due to a factor beyond its control.
10.1 Subject to Condition 10.4, payment of the price for the Serology Products is due in such currency as the parties shall from time to time agree within 30 days of receipt of an invoice from SBS.
10.2 Time for payment shall be of the essence.

10.6 If the Buyer fails to pay SBS any sum due pursuant to the Contract:
10.6.1 the Buyer shall be liable to pay interest to SBS on such sum from the due date for payment at the rate of 5% above the base lending rate of National Westminster Bank plc, accruing on a daily basis until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment; and
10.6.2 SBS may cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer.

11.5.1 any breach of the warranties contained in Condition 11.2 above;
11.5.2 the Buyer's (or the Buyer's agents or employees') breach or negligent performance or non-performance of the Contract;

11.7.1 as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice of the Claim to the Buyer, specifying the nature of the Claim in reasonable detail;
11.7.2 not make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in relation to the Claim without the Buyer's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), provided that SBS may settle the Claim (after giving prior written notice of the terms of settlement (to the extent legally possible) to the Buyer, but without obtaining the Buyer's consent) if SBS reasonably believes that failure to settle the Claim would be prejudicial to it in any material respect;
11.7.3 give the Buyer and the Buyer's professional advisers access at reasonable times (on reasonable prior notice) to SBS' premises and SBS' officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or advisers, and to any relevant assets, accounts, documents and records within SBS' power or control, so as to enable the Buyer and the Buyer's professional advisers to examine them and to take copies (at the Buyer's expense) for the purpose of assessing the Claim; and

18.9 SBS has the right to revise and amend these Conditions from time to time. The Buyer will be subject to the policies and Conditions in force at the time that it orders Serology Products from SBS, unless any change to those policies or these Conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by the Buyer), or if SBS notifies the Buyer of the change to those policies or these Conditions before SBS sends the Buyer the acknowledgement of order or the Dispatch Note (in which case SBS has the right to assume that the Buyer has accepted the change to the Conditions, unless the Buyer notifies SBS to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by the Buyer of the acknowledgement of order or the Dispatch Note).
18.10 This Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
19.1 Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications SBS sends to the Buyer should be in writing. When placing orders through the Website, the Buyer accepts that communication with SBS will be mainly electronic. SBS will contact the Buyer by e-mail or provide it with information by posting notices on the Website. For contractual purposes, the Buyer agrees to this electronic means of communication and acknowledges that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that SBS provides to the Buyer electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition does not affect the Buyer's statutory rights.
19.2 All notices given by the Buyer to SBS must be given to SBS at email@example.com. SBS may give notice to the Buyer at either the e-mail or postal address the Buyer provides to SBS when placing an order, or in any of the ways specified in Condition 19.1 above. Notice will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on the Website, 24 hours after an e-mail is sent, or three days after the date of posting of any letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail, that such e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.

Jonas Salk, creator of the first polio vaccine, stands upright and stares with a steady gaze at the viewer. His figure takes up a small proportion of the right half of a composition that is dominated by the massive and enveloping concrete forms of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. A series of square architectural voids recede into deep space on the left. The formal qualities of the picture, with its stark geometries, harsh lighting, and evocative use of space, would make for an intriguing image no matter who the subject was.
It is an example of what makes Arnold Newman an exceptional portraitist. The photograph of Salk is part of an exhibit called "One World, One People" on view at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee.
Credited with originating what has come to be known as environmental portraiture, Newman specialized in the placement of his subjects within settings that were both meaningful and carefully controlled.
"I didn't just want to make a photograph with some things in the background," Newman once said. "The surroundings had to add to the composition and the understanding of the person. No matter who the subject was, it had to be an interesting photograph. Just to simply do a portrait of a famous person doesn't mean a thing."
When it comes to fostering an environmentally conscious world, there are few things more under our control or more able to have an impact than our buildings. One of the most intriguing ideas to come out of the "Remarkable Milwaukee" discussion recently was a concept floated by Ken Leinbach, director of the Urban Ecology Center.
Leinbach suggested that Milwaukee focus on creating an infrastructure for managing and distrubuting recycled materials from the built environment. This coudl dramatically reduce or eliminate waste, he said.
So why not start small, with homes for hens?
As it turns out, a group called beintween, has hatched an idea for a design-build contest that will encourage the use of salvaged materials, while also supporting the idea of eating local.
The "Coopetition" invites people to create the best handcrafted chicken coop in Milwaukee. Winning coop crafters stand to win cash prizes. The jury will include representatives from Cream City Hens, Milwaukee's Office of Sustainability, the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance, the Urban Ecology Center, the School of Architecture and Urban Planning and others.
The fee for student teams is $50 and $100 for non students. Those who construct their coops entirely out of salvaged materials will be reimbursed. More information about how to participate can be found online.
When the small church was built in the 1850s, area settlers were expected to provide oak logs and to help with the construction. Today, the 732 residents of the small town of Perry may have to kick in $1 million to preserve the petite place of worship.
The small, log cabin church in Dane County, near Mount Horeb, has been the subject of protracted court battles that could leave locals with a large legal bill.
As a contingency, the town may turn to wealthy Norwegians around the world, including Norway's King Harald and Queen Sonja, for financial help, according to a story in the Wisconsin State Journal.
"We are defending a real piece of culture that has been declared a place of historic significance by the nation, the state, the county and the town of Perry," town Chairman Patrick Downing told the State Journal. "I think it's a reasonable thing to do."
The Hauge ("HOW-ghee") Log Church was lead by a lay Lutheran preacher, Hans Nielsen Hauge, who had been persecuted by the established church of Norway. The church was a model of more informal forms of worship that flourished in rural areas where there were fewer preachers.
The town sought to protect the church, which sits on a hilltop, when David Gehl, who owns land beside the church, planned to build on his property. Town officials were concerned that new construction would obscure views from the church, according to the State Journal.
Architect Santiago Calatrava, who designed the Milwaukee Art Museum, has snagged his first major commission in Asia.
The project at Yuan Ze University in Taiwan consists of three major structures, a performing arts center, a new art and design school and the Y.Z. Hsu Memorial Hall, dedicated to the school's founder, Yu-Ziang Hsu.
The three buildings to be designed by Calatrava will provide a new cultural hub for the university near the main campus entrance and is designed to be a landmark for the region.
"In order for this multi-functional complex to serve as a pillar of growth for the university and act as a bridge to the surrounding community, the design must be sensitive to the deep cultural history that is prevalent throughout Taiwan," Calatrava said in a statement.
For his architectural debut in Taiwan, Calatrava plans to explore themes found in regional art and architecture. The performing arts bulding, for instance, will feature a curving roof with steel ribs that will evoke traditional Chinese and Taiwanese architecture, the statement said.
The latest manifestation of Art Chicago, a major modern and contemporary art fair for the last 32 years, has come to an end, according to a report from the Chicago Tribune.
The Merchandise Mart is cancelling the latest manifestation of the fair, dubbed Next Art Chicago, which was scheduled for April 27 to 29. Art Chicago was once considered one of the more important art fairs nationally but its importance has been eclipsed in recent years by Art Basel Miami Beach, the Armory show in New York City, among others.
"After a thorough analysis of the art fair landscape, Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. [MMPI] has determined not to move forward with the production of the 2012 edition of Next Art Chicago and that Chicago will not remain a primary focus of its art fair business activities," Next Art Chicago executive director Staci Boris and director Ken Tyburski wrote in an email to vendors Wednesday, the Tribune reported. "While Chicago is home to a thriving arts community, including galleries, world-class museums, theaters, arts-related organizations, along with thousands of art enthusiasts, it is our conclusion that the great majority of the art fair market in the United States has gravitated toward the coasts. This is where MMPI will be reallocating its considerable resources."
A new fair, Expo Chicago, run by Tony Karman, Art Chicago's vice president and director from April 2006 to Dec. 2010, will be unveiled in September at Navy Pier, the site of Art Chicago for more than 20 years. The Merchandis Mart's president Mark Falanga said the new fair was not a factor in shutting down Art Chicago, the Tribune reported.
Years ago, when Anthony Petullo's children were still young, he'd set up a small slide projector on the pool table, call in the kids, and peruse pictures of art.
"They were voting on all of the ones they really liked," Petullo says of one occasion in particular, when the family peeled through slide after slide of art by Eddie Arning, several of which Petullo later acquired.
Today, Petullo's home overlooking Lake Michigan is as jammed with art as it is photographs of family gatherings, evidence that those once-small children have grown. Drawings and paintings hang in snug groupings, or salon style, on one wall after another, mingling comfortably with heirlooms like a picture of Petullo's grandfather in his Chicago shoe shop.
For more than 20 years, Petullo has honed a cohesive vision and amassed one of the most significant troves of self-taught art in private hands anywhere. That collection of works is now taking up residence in a new home, the Milwaukee Art Museum.
The Petullo collection of more than 300 drawings, paintings and sculptures, combined with the museum's already-strong holdings in folk and self-taught art, makes MAM one of the leading institutions for the genre in the United States. The gift, made in 2010, is being celebrated with a major exhibit, "Accidental Genius," which opens today.
"I think we have a good case to say this is one of the finest, if not the finest collection of self-taught material anywhere in the world," says Dan Keegan, the museum's director, referring to the self-taught and folk collection in its totality. "It is certainly the finest collection anywhere in North America."
The dense, ferociously patterned drawings and paintings, the idiosyncratic landscapes and portraits in the show, were created by people who in one respect or another were isolated from the art world, people who may not have considered themselves artists at all.
Many of them lived sequestered lives, geographically and otherwise. Some were mental patients whose work was discovered by doctors. Most began making voluminous quantities of art suddenly.
What distinguishes these artists, Petullo says, is that their visual languages seemed to surface whole, fully developed, and didn't evolve over time. While we often think of artists in terms of their inventiveness, as creating works that explore art-making in a progressive, changing way, these artists represent something altogether different, Petullo says.
"My artists are on a journey, too," he says. "It's a storytelling journey. They already know where they are going. They are there. They were there at the beginning."
Madge Gill created ink drawings dense with finely drawn, compact, looping, curving lines. Like many of the works Petullo has been drawn to, there is almost no visual relief in Gill's undulating works. Entire topographies seem to surface in a billowing sleeve. Architectural elements like steps and arcades crowd and conflate space.
Gill, born an illegitimate daughter in Victorian England and placed in an orphanage by her mother at the age of 9, didn't start making art until she lost her own daughter, who was stillborn.
The artist, who lost sight in one eye as a result of an illness, believed she had been granted a new kind of vision from a spirit guide. It was this spirit, she believed, who guided her headlong output of art. Gill focused on small sections of her drawings, which were as petite as postcards and reached lengths of 35 feet, one at a time.
The only visual respite in her work comes from the pale, rounded faces of a female figure that recurs. Is this a self-portrait? Gill's daughter? Her spirit guide?
Twisted, emaciated figures with inky, saucer-like eyes by Rosemarie Koczy are similarly shrouded in a thick, cacophony of ink. Like rent garments or the thick muscular wall of a womb, the figures appear to be bundled up inside these intense zones, fields of stab marks. The artist created more than 12,000 ink drawings of Holocaust victims and was herself a childhood survivor of two concentration camps.
Koczy's haunting works exemplify one of the tricky aspects of defining the genre of self-taught art, if you can call it a genre. Though not trained in this medium specifically, Koczy did study tapestry design, which influenced her drawing, sometimes done with both hands. Like a number of artists in the Petullo collection -- and many contemporary artists today, for that matter -- Koczy worked in a self-taught manner despite her training.
Looking at the surrealist faces, creatures and botanical forms in Scottie Wilson's work, some of which he called "greedies and evils," represented in some depth here, I wished I could run my fingertips across them. The warp and weave of Wilson's precise hatch marks seem to rise off the surface of the artworks like embroidery.
For Wilson, who couldn't read, making art was a way to communicate, Petullo says.
Wilson took up drawing when, running a secondhand store, he was attracted by a bulldog pen. One day, listening to Mendelssohn, he dipped the plump pen in ink and doodled almost ceaselessly at a card table. This went on for days.
"The pen seemed to make me draw, and them images, the faces and designs just flowed out," he's been quoted saying. "I couldn't stop."
One of the sleepers of this exhibit might be a wonderful donkey-like creature by Dwight Mackintosh, who spent more than a half century in institutions and began treatment for mental disabilities when he was a teenager. Fashioned from informal, loose lines, this imaginative drawing encloses a world of secrets, of offbeat creatures and shapes that were a surprise and delight.
Gill, Koczy, Wilson and Mackintosh's works are situated in the first few rooms of the exhibition, spaces with a concentration of visually breathtaking works crafted from a frenzy of simple of marks. These are among the strongest works in the show, to be sure, works that, by the way, need to be seen in person and don't translate well in reproductions despite their graphic nature.
One masterpiece of the Petullo collection is the long, scroll-like drawing by Henry Darger, a two-sided work that is beautifully suspended in the gallery.
Darger, one of the more known of the so-called "outsider" artists, lived what appeared to be a simple, if reclusive, life into his 80s. He was a janitor with a small, second-floor apartment in Chicago, which, incidentally was about three blocks away from where Petullo's father owned a small store.
"He was probably coming into our store and buying candy," Petullo told me of Darger, who had a serious sweet tooth, in a 2006 interview.
In the 1970s, the unseen world that Darger had been privately creating for much of his life — including a manuscript of more than 15,000 pages and hundreds of mixed media artworks — was discovered by a landlord.
The large Darger in the show tells the tale of the seven Vivian sisters, a small fleet of nearly identical little girls in ribbons and dresses, with puckered mouths and their hair in yellow ringlets the color or of corn. The girls and other characters are part of an elaborate, sometimes violent, sometimes prurient, storybook-like narrative Darger created for himself.
(For more on Darger, here is a post from the Journal Sentinel's film critic Duane Dudek featuring a review of Jessica Yu's documentary about Darger, "In the Realms of the Unreal" and a trailer for the film.)
Other artists represented in this part of the show include Adolf Wolfli, Martin Ramirez, Anna Zemankova and Minnie Evans. The Ramirez in isolation doesn't begin to do the work of this artist justice, I'm sorry to report.
The thickly painted works by James Dixon and Sylvia Levine were clear standouts in the central section of the exhibit, which explores landscape and other artworks by artists known for their landscapes.
Dixon lived the whole of his life on a sparsely populated, rocky Irish island. In some of his seascapes, rugged landscapes explode out of the sea like violent beasts. In "Cottages Covered with Spume," tiny homes seem to cling to a great creature's back as it careens through the wild waters. Dixon used available materials, including leftover boat paint. The matte swirl of blues in "Arlin Point" captures the uncertain nature of the North Atlantic night sky.
When Petullo first visited Levine in Bristol, England, she appeared with a tea service, pastries and large, black garbage bags stuffed with paintings, many of which were stuck together.
"All I could say was 'Wow, wow, wow' after every one of them," Petullo says.
There is a luminous, waxy materiality to Levine's works that give them an unusual sensuality. The flat, gooey white of her female nudes, rendered with thick thrusts of the palette knife and spare lines, is gorgeous. She surrounds the expressive and nearly abstract giant rock in "Near Beachy Head — Sussex" with a blend of blues and greens that run from glassy to chalky.
Finally, the show concludes with a collection of works by the artists from a home for artistically inclined psychiatric patients near Vienna.
The cigar-smoking woman in a giant yellow dress, with two sets of feet, covered in German words and surrounded by symbols from beer steins to Christian crosses, by August Walla was a startling invention. Arnold Schmidt's poetic "A Person," scratched out in a few, poetic strokes of dripping red, blue and black was too.
This is the year, many physicists around the world now believe, that we'll know whether the standard model of physics, the theory that describes the way everything in the universe works, will be proven or scrapped.
The missing bit of the equation is the still hypothetical Higgs Boson, sometimes dubbed the "God Particle." Some of the most colossal and costly machines on the planet have been built to detect the Higgs, believed to be one of the most infinitesimal particles in the universe.
Just this week, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, put out a statement all but promising that scientists will know one way or the other if the Higgs particle exists by year's end.
"Either would be a major advance in our exploration of nature, bringing us closer to understanding how the fundamental particles acquire their mass, and marking the beginning of a new chapter in particle physics," said Sergio Bertolucci, research director at CERN, home to the largest particle accelerator in the world, near Geneva.
So, wouldn't it be hilarious if a group of artists beat the scientists and their gazillion-dollar particle colliders to the punch with a bit of stand up, music and some string?
Local artists and filmmakers Andrew Swant and Bobby Ciraldo have been having entirely too much fun -- in Los Angeles.
Last week, the pair, best known as the creators of the viral "What What (in the Butt)" video, which has been viewed 45 million times, used a low-cost projector and a non-descript van to project an image from their video -- a pink zeppelin with the word "What" on it -- onto icons of the world's entertainment capital.
They projected onto the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Scientology Center, Actual Size Gallery, Chung King Road galleries, Mann's Chinese Theater and other cultural stops along the way.
These public interventions were offered in the spirit of Milwaukee-based cultural critic David Robbins' concept of "high entertainment," which combines the accessibility of mainstream entertainment with art experimentation and novel venues, the artists say.
Note from Mary Louise: Hello everyone, this Art City Asks interview was conducted by our newest Art City contributor. I am delighted to announce that Jessica Steeber has joined the ranks of those writing for this platform. Steeber in a close and astute observer of contemporary art locally and internationally. Many of you may already know her as one of the founding editors of Fine Line Magazine and as the co-owner of a former gallery, The Armoury Gallery. Here is an Art City Asks we did with her and her partner in Fine Line, Cassandra Smith. Welcome Jessica! Thank you for bringing your talents to Art City.
Brent Gohde, perhaps better known by his moniker Cedar Block, has become a staple in Milwaukee's art scene by organizing witty, high-quality events that combined art and science in a unique way.
Born and raised in Milwaukee, Gohde earned a bachelor's in English from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee before embarking on his curatorial project. An early fascination with science and a host of untapped local talent prompted his first event, a 'Science Fair for Grown-ups,' in 2005. Since then he has gone on to host a string of successful events around the city, including a number of one-night events held in conjunction with major exhibits at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Referencing "Art & Physics" by Leonard Shlain, Gohde explains that "the two disciplines are very similar, in that members of each field are attempting to make sense of the world around them, and to find a language to communicate what they see."
In his latest effort, Gohde teams up with David Ravel of Alverno Presents for "Sexy Results" (see the Art City post about that from earlier in the week). Gohde will tell a story woven together through the art, music, comedy, video game, photo booth and real, hard science for the event, which is tonight at Turner Hall, at 8 p.m. Gohde was kind enough to answer a few questions for this edition of Art City Asks.
Jessica Steeber: What are you working on in your studio right now?:
Art and physics have more in common than you might think. This was the main takeaway from the "Sexy Results" art variety show Saturday, what one person on Twitter called a "particle physics happening," at Turner Hall.
It's a gorgeous story, really, the tale of the mysteries of the universe, of the matter that's been around since the start of things and that makes up our bones and bodies, and of the scientists, theologians, philosophers and artists who've been trying to understand the fundamental questions of existence.
Think about it, both artists and scientists interpret the world for us and have an increasingly hard time justifying their existence.
In the monologue that wove the performances and art together, curatorial impressario Brent Gohde quoted Robert Wilson, the first director of Fermilab, home to the Tevatron, what was "the biggest, badest particle accelerator in the world" until 2008.
Wilson, a scientist, writer, sculptor, philosopher and architect designed his accelarator while sneaking out of a science conference in Rome to attend an art class. He was once asked before the U.S. Congress how his machine in Batavia, Illinois, which would smash atoms together at nearly the speed of light to recreate the conditions of the Big Bang, would aid national security.

Rutland joins statewide vigil to remember Newtown school shootingBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | December 15,2013More than two dozen communities across Vermont held vigils Saturday in remembrance of the 20 students and six adults who were killed in a shooting spree one year ago at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The vigils were organized by Gun Sense Vermont, a group that advocates for firearms controls including expanded background checks and stricter gun-trafficking laws which members say would make Vermonters safer.
In this region, memorial events were held Saturday in Rutland, Middlebury, Springfield, Hartland, Putney and Norwich.
In Rutland, about 30 people took part in a solemn noontime vigil at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ to remember the killing rampage that took place Dec. 14, 2012, in the Newtown elementary school, claiming 26 lives and shocking many Americans.
The Rev. Tracy Weatherhogg, associate minister at the church, also spoke briefly about Fridays shooting at a high school in Colorado as a reminder of the pain and loss suffered because of the Connecticut shootings one year ago.
Despite the bitter cold, attendees at the vigil stood silently, some with tears in their eyes, as Weatherhogg led the group in prayer.
Kathy Ross, a member of the church, said there werent any Gun Sense representatives at the Rutland event, but the group had suggested the local vigil.
Afterward, Ross handed out fliers with 26 suggested acts of kindness inspired by the lives of those who died in Newtown.
We are happy to be able to provide something that provides a remembrance of each victim and gives some thought to who they were, what their lives could have been like and to respond nonviolently, to (suggest) an act of kindness, to share some love, Ross said.
Mary Crowley, a retired teacher, provided some artwork, displayed at the vigil, created to convey the pain and loss felt by those affected by the shooting.
I loved teaching and I understood that school was the place that some people loved more than they loved their homes, she said. When I heard about (the shooting in Newtown,) I was horrified, so I had to do something.
Woodstock resident Alan Perkins expressed strong feelings in favor of gun control after the vigil.
Im one of these here liberal-type people whos opposed to the (National Rifle Association) and the military and all that, he said. Its all part of the same thing. The country, to me, has a very long-standing interest and desire to solve its problems.
Perkins said Adam Lanza, the shooter in the Newtown incident, and his mother, Nancy, who Lanza killed before going to Sandy Hook, should be considered victims of gun violence as well.
Theres violence everywhere and Im sick and tired of it, he said.
Weatherhogg said she understood why people wanted to come together in the aftermath of violence that affects children.
It moves people to think and wish that things are not the way that they are, and for them to be a different way, she said.
The church has a Jubilee Justice committee, which organized the local vigil, but the Rev. John Weatherhogg, senior mister at Grace, said the committee has an uphill battle in Vermont when it comes to gun violence.
How do you speak to the issue of profound gun violence in a state that relishes its freedom to bear arms? he said. How do you speak intelligently with an air toward justice for all to people for whom having guns is a way of life? I think that will be the challenge as it is around the country.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on intramural urethral bulking procedures for stress urinary incontinence.
Stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine during exercise or movements such as coughing, sneezing and laughing. It is usually caused by weak or damaged muscles and connective tissues in the pelvic floor, compromising urethral support, or by weakness of the urethral sphincter itself.
Typically, first-line treatment is conservative and includes pelvic floor muscle training, electrical stimulation, and biofeedback. If the condition does not improve, surgical alternatives in women may include colposuspension, tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), transobturator tape, and traditional suburethral slings.
The injection of bulking agents into the wall of the urethra is usually performed under local anaesthesia. A cystoscope is inserted into the urethra to locate the areas where the bulking agent should be introduced. After injection of local anaesthetic, several millilitres of bulking agent are injected into the submucosal tissue at the level of the proximal urethra just distal to the bladder neck. The injections may be administered transurethrally through the cystoscope or paraurethrally via small perineal incisions.

Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 2 hrs
This is my husband's favorite dish. I adapted the recipe from a recipe by Marilyn Tausend and Ricardo Munoz Zurita that was published in Best American Recipes 2004-05. I incorporated some of the notes from the editors of that series, Fran McCullough and Molly Stevens.It is very easy, with a big payoff!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest
- 1 1⁄2 cups fresh orange juice (or not-from-concentrate)
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons sherry wine
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Combine pork, 2 cups of water, zest, orange juice, garlic, and salt in a heavy dutch oven with a lid. Place in the oven and cook for at least six hours, but not more than eight.
- Remove the pot from the oven. Scoop out the pork with a slotted spoon and put into a shallow baking dish. Shred the meat with two forks. At this point it should be so tender you hardly have to make any effort to separate it into delicious morsels. Discard any big chunks of fat.
- Sprinkle the meat with the brandy or sherry and ladle a few scoops of cooking liquid back over the pork. (The reserved cooking liquid makes a wonderful base for bean soup.) Place under the broiler for a few minutes until sizzling.
- Serve with Cuban black beans and rice, or use as a taco filling.

Great combo, but seems to be missing the essential chipotles in adobo. I add several chopped ones - plus some oregano and sliced onions - to the mixture and crock away. Very good.
Very good. A little citrusy for me, not THE carnitas recipe I've been searching for, but a keeper. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful! I made a couple little changes. I used a pork roast instead of ribs and I used the crockpot. Low for about 7 hours. Very nice! I shredded the meat and added back to the juice. We used on tortillas. I wasn't sure we would like the orange juice, but it was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.

The Portland Timbers are supposed to be one of the dominant teams in Major League Soccer.
The 2013 campaign saw the team soar to the Western Conference final after an abysmal performance a year earlier. This season, the team's best players have returned with new talent intended to bolster the winning strategy of second-year coach Caleb Porter.
The media narrative around the Timbers so far has been that they just need time to jell and settle into their style of play. They have shown real promise. They will be brilliant any moment now.
But that storyline tiptoes around a basic fact: The Timbers, despite all their talent and promise, are so far one of the worst teams in MLS.
Winless after seven games. Third from the bottom in terms of points for and goals allowed. The Timbers' only score on the road came from the other team's own goal. The team has a worse record now than it did at the same stage during the fiasco that was the 2012 season.
"We've been gloomy for a month," says Roscoe Myrick, a contributor to the blog and podcast Portland Timbros. "If we were bad, it would be fine. It would be like dying in your sleep. But we're good, and we're not getting results. It feels like you're waking up while someone's ripping out your heart and you have to eat it."
It doesn't seem right that the team's playoff hopes look so dim so soon in the season. But Portland is on a trajectory to mediocrity without some big changes.
Here's what seems to be going wrong—and what the Timbers can still do about it.
The back line is a mess.
In the past five games, the Timbers' defense has given up late goals that have robbed the team of wins and key draws. Without allowing those late scores, the Timbers would have 11 points, not four. They would be one of the league's better teams, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Since the team joined MLS, the Timbers' defense has often been a problem. In the offseason, Porter went looking for an answer to the inconsistent play of the team's defensive line and came up with Argentinian Norberto Paparatto.
"He is technically and tactically sound," Porter said during the preseason. "We look forward to integrating him into an already deep back line."
Paparatto has since been benched after blunders that allowed the Seattle Sounders to rally for a 4-4 draw after the Timbers were up by two goals with five minutes left to play.
Paparatto hasn't been the only problematic acquisition this year, but the shuffling around of him and defenders Mamadou "Futty" Danso and Pa Modou Kah has underscored the back line's inconsistencies.
"Heading into the offseason, they knew they had to get better defensively," ESPN columnist Jeff Carlisle says. "I think they thought they solved that problem by getting Norberto Paparatto. He certainly has not delivered."
The midfield is off-kilter.
The Timbers' game plan is built around keeping possession of the ball and intricate, often complicated passing combinations. If they have the ball, their opponents can't hurt them. And if they move it around quickly enough, they can open up gaps in the opposition and create opportunities to split the defense with a killer pass.
"There's immense skill there that should be able to take over games at this level," Timbers Army board member Jeremy Wright says.
This year, statistics show, the Timbers' passing and possession game has eroded. Last year, only Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City—the two teams that met in the 2013 championship— had more possession time than the Timbers.
This year, Portland has dropped from third to eighth in the possession table, and in terms of how often the team successfully passes the ball, the Timbers have sunk from third to 12th.
"It seems like they've got more ballplayers in the lineup," Carlisle says, "but whatever the reason, the balance isn't right."
Left winger and 2013 standout Rodney Wallace, sidelined with a knee injury, has been replaced alternately by Kalif Alhassan and Gastón Fernández, another new signing.
Fernández has been impressive. The Argentine has scored twice this season, both last-minute equalizers in the team's first two games. But Fernández and Alhassan both prefer to drift into the center—unlike Wallace, who liked to play wide and gave midfielders Diego Valeri and Darlington Nagbe an outlet for their creative passing and moves.
The Timbers have said Wallace could return sometime between May and July.
"Maybe when Rodney comes back," Portland Timbros' Myrick says, "that alleviates the situation."
The Timbers have two slots open for designated players—players whose wages aren't counted against the team's salary cap. Myrick says the Timbers could use those to boost the roster if things don't improve.
"What could happen," Myrick says, "especially if the team continues to struggle, is you're going to see some really big signings."
Morale and mentality are low.
In the past week, there have been murmurs from inside the Timbers camp that something isn't right with the team's mentality.
Carlisle thinks the team may be the victim of its success in 2013, when it reached the Western Conference final and drew plaudits from across American soccer.
"Another difference this year is, there were very high expectations," he says. "That can play tricks on the psyche of a team."
Credit Porter with trying (at least publicly) to continue to be upbeat, almost to a fault.
In Utah last weekend, the Timbers played well in a 1-0 loss to Real Salt Lake. Porter told reporters afterward that the Timbers looked like the better team.
"We have the better of the game, we had the better chances on the day," Porter said in comments that have echoed other postgame observations. "The game went according to plan…outside of the finishing, outside of the result."
It's not clear how long Porter has before such explanations wear thin.
After the loss to Real Salt Lake, one player, captain Will Johnson, was as blunt about the rosy spin about the woeful Timbers as he is against opponents on the field.
"I'm a little bit sick and tired of hearing that," Johnson was quoted at MLSsoccer.com when asked what he thought about all the talk of positive signs as the team keeps drawing and losing. "It's all about results."
With the scaling back of expectations for the team, though, there can be benefits. Wright says he sees a silver lining.
âItâs good,â he says, âto be underdogs again.â

You know a lot of girls be...

This is not to get confused, this one's for you
Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We could do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear, I can spend whatever on it
Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right, I promise that we gon' live it up
She made me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say, you the fuckin' best, you the fuckin' best
You the fuckin' best, you the fuckin' best
You the best I ever had, best I ever had
Best I ever had, best I ever had
I say, you the fuckin'
"Best I Ever Had" is Drake's break-out single from his So Far Gone EP. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for two Grammys Awards—one for Best Rap Song and one for Best Rap Solo Performance.
The song samples "Fallin' in Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds and "That's My Nigga" by Lil Wayne.
