Terms & Conditions of Sale
To prevent delays in collection on this day, Buyers must notify the auction registration desk of their intent to pick up their wine. Thereafter, Buyers may arrange to pick up their wines by telephoning MORRELL & COMPANY (212-307-4200) at least 24 hours in advance between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Buyers must present a copy of their invoice marked "paid" at the time of collection.
Vintage Warehouse will not release purchases without this document.
MORRELL & COMPANY recommends that Buyers arrange to pick up their wine.
Shipping by commercial means, particularly of older wines, can be risky.
MORRELL & COMPANY and its agents cannot assume responsibility for deterioration from normal conditions resulting from shipping.
All shipments are subject to a 1% insurance charge. We urge you to note that this covers only breakage or loss during shipping.
Delivery Into Buyer's State:
Bidders are reminded that various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages which may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. MORRELL & COMPANY shall not, as a condition to sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying for or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, a bidder is strongly advised to investigate the possibility of such limitations and to determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into its state from New York to comply with all of said state's requirements.
Delivery Within New York State:
MORRELL & COMPANY will deliver wines within Manhattan at a charge of
$12 per case or part case
, inclusive of insurance for breakage or loss during shipping. For delivery outside of Manhattan, but within New York State, there is a charge of
$10 per lot or per case for packing and handling plus $25 per case or part case. All such shipments outside New York City are subject to a 1% insurance charge
. A lot can be delivered to only one address. In many instances, special messenger service is recommended and rates are available upon request.
Delivery Outside New York State, but Within the Continental United States:
Vintage Warehouse will provide all necessary packing and arrange expeditious shipping through appropriate freight forwarders. All shipments will be shipped pre-paid at Buyer's expense and a packing and handling fee of $10 per lot or per case will be charged by Vintage Warehouse.
Please note that certain modes of shipment require re-packing of wines presently in original wooden cases. In this event, Buyers should specify, when providing shipping instructions, if they wish to receive the original cases in addition to the wines. In this instance, a separate shipping fee of $15 per empty wooden case will be charged
. Shipping rates will vary depending on choice of surface or air freight; outside of the Metropolitan region, shipment by air is recommended. All efforts are made to avoid a pre-weekend shipment. For standard ground service, there is a charge of $30 per case or part thereof. For two-day air service, there is a charge of $60 per case or part thereof.
Please note that all shipments are subject to a 1% insurance charge
Delivery Outside the United States:
Vintage Warehouse will assist in making arrangements for delivery and insurance of wines purchased to locations outside of the United States. Please inquire for more information.
Bidders will be asked to register prior to the commencement of the auction. Bidding will be by paddle only. Identification may be required for paddle registration. Bidders must be 21 years of age or older.
The description of the wine is followed by the quantity offered within the lot. There is an Index at the end of the catalogue.
For the guidance of bidders estimated prices are printed with each lot. The low end of the estimate is the price at which, in the judgment of MORRELL & COMPANY, the lot would be purchased at a bargain. The top end of the estimate is the highest price anticipated based on recent U.S. auction results. Unusual lots or particularly rare wines may have only an open-ended starting price.
All of the wine is offered at per lot. Bidding increments are listed on the Absentee Bid form. Consignors may not bid on their own wine.
Clients who are unable to attend the auction are encouraged to place absentee bids by using the form provided with the catalogue. Absentee bids will be treated with confidence and lots will be purchased for absentee bidders at the best possible price, subject to other absentee bids and competitive bidding from those in attendance. Absentee bids will be executed by MORRELL & COMPANY employees in the salesroom in full view of all attendees using pre-assigned paddle numbers for each absentee bidder.
Buyers will be invoiced immediately after their successful bid and payment of the final purchase price and all taxes can only be accepted in U. S. currency, with checks drawn on U. S. banks or by Master Card or Visa Credit Cards. MORRELL & COMPANY is required by law to collect the appropriate state and local taxes from Buyers unless the Buyer can establish to MORRELL & COMPANY's satisfaction that the purchase is non-taxable. MORRELL & COMPANY's determination, in its sole discretion, shall be conclusive as to any issues of taxation. All non-taxable transactions must be fully documented prior to the release of property.
Invoices remaining unpaid after ten days will be automatically charged to the bidder's credit card given during registration.
Complimentary storage for wines purchased in the auction will be available at Vintage Warehouse for 60 days.
Any lots remaining at Vintage Warehouse beyond these 60 days will be moved to a long-term storage facility
. Under no circumstance will Morrell & Company Fine Wine Auctions be responsible for wine left in the warehouse past 12 months.
Please insure that bids reach our office in ample time before the auction. Prior to the day of the auction, bids may be placed over the telephone,
but will not in any case be accepted on the day of the auction

but in no case later than 5 p.m. on the day preceding the sale

No statement in the catalogue or made at the sale or in the bill of sale or the invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. Neither seller nor MORRELL & COMPANY shall be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising from the sale of any property.
2. Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions of Sale, if within 21 days after the sale, MORRELL & COMPANY has received from the Buyer of any property notice of a claim in writing alleging that any lot is short or that any statement in the catalogue concerning such lot is not well founded, then MORRELL & COMPANY in its sole and absolute discretion will decide any such claim as between the Seller and the Buyer and may rescind the sale and refund the purchase price received.
3. As used in these Conditions of Sale, the term "the final bid" means the price at which a lot is knocked down to the Buyer, and the term "the purchase price" means the sum of the final bid and the premium payable by the Buyer under Condition 7.
4. MORRELL & COMPANY reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the time of sale or to combine two or more lots.
5. Many of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve, which is a confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. MORRELL & COMPANY may implement the reserve by bidding on behalf of the Seller.
6. The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the Buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid and to advance the bid at his/her absolute discretion and, in the event of any dispute between bidders, to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and re-sell the property in dispute. Should there be any dispute after the sale, MORRELL & COMPANY's record of final sale shall be conclusive. On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, the Buyer assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot and may be required to sign a confirmation of purchase, supply his/her name and address, and pay the full purchase price thereof. If the Buyer fails to comply with any such requirement, the lot may, at the auctioneer's discretion, be re-auctioned and sold again.
7. The purchase price payable by a Buyer shall be the sum of the final bid and a premium of 18% of the final bid.
8. The full purchase price of each lot shall be paid in full at the time of the sale or in such manner as the Buyer has arranged with MORRELL & COMPANY prior to the auction.

Free storage is available upon request for 60 days following the sale and full payment.
10. Bids which are submitted to MORRELL & COMPANY in writing or otherwise, prior to the sale, for execution at or below a specified price, are entertained and executed by MORRELL & COMPANY for the convenience of the bidders, but MORRELL & COMPANY shall not be responsible for failing to execute such bids or for errors relating to the execution of such bids.
11. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the Buyer, MORRELL & COMPANY may, in addition to asserting all remedies available by law, including the right to hold the Buyer liable for the purchase price, either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the Buyer, or re-sell the property on seven days' notice to the Buyer. If MORRELL & COMPANY re-sells the property, the Buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and incidental damages including, but not limited to, warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorney's fees and all other charges due hereunder.
12. Estimated prices are provided solely for the guidance of Buyers and are printed in the text.
13. The Buyer shall pay any applicable sales tax where applicable.
14. The respective rights and obligations of the parties in respect of the Conditions of Sale and the conduct of the auction shall be governed by and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York.
15. All lots in this auction are subject to a reserve and with respect to such lot the auctioneer may be deemed to have an indirect interest in the lot because the owner of the lot has an indirect interest in Morrell & Company.
16. Although MORRELL & COMPANY will exercise reasonable care in entering and executing absentee and internet bids, any failure to execute bids or error in doing so shall not be the responsibility of MORRELL & COMPANY or its staff. The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the Buyer.
The level of wine in the bottle is an important influence on the quality of the wine. For Bordeaux, Port, California Cabernet Sauvignon, and other wines in bottles with defined shoulders, the designations appearing below have been used:
Neck levels are the normal fills of young wines.
Bottom neck levels are acceptable for all wines.
Neck/shoulder levels are acceptable for most wines.
High shoulder levels are normal for bottles 15-20 years' old.
High-mid shoulder levels are ac-ceptable in any wine over 20 years' old.
Mid-shoulder levels may carry some risk or weakening of the cork.
Low shoulder levels are quite risky.
Bottom shoulder levels are only for rare, interesting, or collectible wines which may be undrinkable
Burgundy, German, Alsatian, and similar bottles with gently sloping sides are measured and the distance from the wine to the cork is given in inches. Burgundy fills under 1" may not be mentioned.
The estimates take exact levels into account.
Appearance designations cover level of wine in the bottle, condition of capsule, label, strip label, and color of the wine.
Excellent appear-ance can be assured if appearance is not specifically mentioned
. Every bottle is closely inspected by MORRELL & COMPANY and is assessed as precisely as possible. The notation "oc" means original carton, "owc" means original wooden case, and "ocb" means original cardboard box.

Musical comedian Sammy J dropped out of a law course at Melbourne university to pursue a career in comedy; and in 2006 won the best newcomer award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. In 2008, he first joined forces with puppeteer Heath McIvor on the musical Sammy J and the Forest of Dreams", which was nominated for the Barry award in Melbourne before going on to runs in London and at the Edinburgh Fringe. They have collaborated on two more shows since then, winning the Barry for their first follow-up, Ricketts Lane, in 2010. |
Sammy J: Potentially |
Sammy J hopes this show will be a catharsis; to put right some deep and lasting childhood humiliation. As a precocious 11-year-old, he was rejected by every publisher in Australia, when they callously ruled his childish ramblings, Through The Eyes Of Animals, wasnt quite the literary masterpiece hed envisaged. Luckily in the intervening couple of decades, his writing has got a whole lot better; and Potentially is an object lesson in storytelling. It might be whimsical, but, save for a gratuitous ninja-based preamble, heres not a wasted word here. Every part of this yarn serves a purpose, so as strands re-emerge they make fresh sense, rather than being cheap callbacks. He has ambitious aims to say something about our web of fleetingly interconnecting lives and the randomness of death... especially as that message is conveyed via the thoughts of a suburban possum with a fear of heights. The hugely personable Sammy J has also been inspired by a passing encounter with a besuited businessman on a plane, the question of whether hed be prepared to abandon his artistic principles to perform on a cruise ship, and the story of a blimp accident in 1928, in which the gondola tore in half, leaving half the passengers stranded on the Arctic ice, the others rising skywards, never to be seen again. Such apparently dissolute elements are tied together with an elegance that defines both the writing and performance. Sammy J has a careful, compelling poise, even when hes being playful or physical, and has an innate ability to draw the listener in to the engaging tale. As you might expect from Sammy J, this story receiving its Australian debut a couple of years after it played the Edinburgh Fringe is illustrated with a few musical numbers, the finest being the most purposefully, wittily sweary track since Tim Minchins Pope Song. Jokes arise from the situations more than bolted-on punchlines, since Potentially puts the warm-hearted story first. That can mean you can sometimes find yourself engrossed in the events without chuckling although Sammy has a secret weapon to break the rapt silence, when he needs it. The result is an impressive spoken-word performance of wit and wonder, spinning apparently superficial facts and anecdotes into something quite special. |

I connect to the server, send "handshake" packet and everything seemed to work, untill I found out that my client does not receive packets from the server. After scanning my client with WPE PRO it says the pocket is received, but the code does not seem to pick it up.
Connection to the server script:
global.Server = tcpconnect(global.ServerIP,global.ServerPort, true); setformat(global.Server, 1);
Handshake packet script:
clearbuffer(); writebyte(02); //0x02 writebyte(00); writebyte(06); writestring("e"); writestring("k"); writestring("g"); writestring("a"); writestring("m"); writestring("e"); sendmessage(global.Server);
Packet receiving code:
if global.Connected=false exit; while(1) { size = receivemessage(global.Server); if(size < 0)break; if(size == 0) { print_line("[Info] Connection lost.")); global.Connected=false; break; } mid = readbyte(); switch(mid) { case 2: print_line("[Info] Handshake recieved."); break; case 255: print_line("[Info] Server disconnected."); break; } }
I've done some debugging and the receivemessage function always return 0, while WPE says its 35.
How do I fix this?

Fitting In and Out - Rare Expanding & Contracting Hand Watches
In my collecting history, I always had a special place for oblong, oval, rectangular, thin, or just very wide watches. The problem they all share is the restriction of their hands being only as long as the shortest width of the dial. Once the hands reach their widest points, they often appear too dwarfed. It got me thinking, how cool would it be if hands of a watch could extend out as the width of the watch gets wider and contract back to the smallest? Well, lo and behold, I discovered nearly everything has been done before at some point in time. Expanding and contracting hand history was sporadic and only a few were ever made.
This fantastic specimen circa 1795, made by watchmaker William Anthony of London. Famous for his verge watches with many being made for the Chinese market. His watch above features hands that work like a pantograph or scissors that follow cams to expand and contract. Valued conservatively between $100,000-$250,000.
via 2007 Complete Price Guide to Watches
Via Patek Philippe Museum
Ok, flash forward almost 350 years later (today) and you'll see an ingenious recurrence of this concept. The Urwerk 201 Hammerhead. One of the most cutting edge watch brands today have not only revived and modernized the wandering hour watch, but also reinventing the expanding and retracting hand by placing a telescopic pointer inside the hour cubes. As each cube rotates to the corresponding minute display, the protuberance slowly extends and retreats.
(Again, I'm always trying to find a way for the word "protuberance" to appear in my posts)

Forced To Evacuate Live On Air
Here's something you don't see that often, the weatherman on TV has to evacuate, because of the weather!
An 18-year-old Sebastian River High School senior named Kaitlyn Hunt is reportedly being charged with a felony and has been expelled from high school as a result of her "consensual relationship" with another female student. Read all about "Stop The Hate Free Kate" here.
Here's something you don't see that often, the weatherman on TV has to evacuate, because of the weather! In this video you'll see a television weatherman forced to flee for safety in the middle his live broadcast as a huge tornado tore through downtown Wichita.
A would-be robber thought he had an easy escape but moments after he snatched a woman's mobile phone, he was struck by a bus. Unbelievably, the thief only suffered minor injuries. Did karma turn its head on this one? And get this, the woman he robbed was actually the one who pulled him to safety. Now, that's a forgiving gal.
Did you know that music sensation Taylor Swift actually writes and sings all her own songs? She sells millions of CDs and she's just 23 years old. Taylor sat down with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes on CBS and disclosed some other things you may know about her.
The Doors were founded by Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison in Los Angeles in 1965. When they released their debut album in 1967, they went on to be one of the most controversial and influential rock acts of the sixties. Jim Morrison's early death in Paris in 1971 only insured the legend of the band. Sadly, Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek died yesterday (May 20th, 2013) after a "lengthy battle with bile duct cancer." He was 74.
Anyone who's seen their dog try to drink all the water shooting out of a sprinkler knows just how mesmerizing some animals find those machines.
A huge tornado touched down just outside of Oklahoma City earlier today, causing widespread destruction and leaving behind a yet-untold number of casualties.
To see how you can help those affected, see the list below.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Oklahoma tonight. The 2-mile wide tornado destroyed Oklahoma City, but most heartbreaking, the storm leveled Plaza Towers Elementary School and Briarwood Elementary School. Here's some photos to share in support of #PrayForOklahoma for Facebook, Twitter, and as a Facebook Cover Photo.

Thousands of mourners attended a memorial service for fallen California Highway Patrol Officer Kenyon Youngstrom in Vacaville on Thursday.
The Mission Church on Leisure Town Road hosted the service that drew more than 5,000 people, including officers from across California and the United States as they came to say goodbye to one of their own.
Officer Youngstrom was remembered for his smile that would light up a room, and some friends joked he was too nice to be a cop.
His son Alex said he was proud of his dad and was comforted that his father loved his job.
The fallen officer's brother Clinton said as kids they always thought Youngstrom would end up in the back of a patrol car, not driving one.
The crowd laughed.
Clinton Youngstrom said during the service that his brother became a new man when he met his wife in college.
Officer Youngstrom was on patrol with the CHP for seven years before his life and career were cut short in a shooting on Interstate 680.
Youngstrom had flagged the driver of a black Jeep over to the side of the road to investigate erratic driving and a possible expired registration, according to CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow.

Watanabe, Katsumi, Untitled [Three men with cigarettes, posing in the street], ca. 1970, printed 1985; gelatin silver print; 8 ¼ x 11 ¾ in.; Promised gift of Paul Sack to the Sack Photographic Trust; © Estate of Katsumi Watanabe.
From September 12 through December 20, 2009, the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
will present two exhibitions organized by Lisa Sutcliffe, SFMOMA's assistant curator of photography: The Provoke Era: Postwar Japanese Photography and Photography Now: China, Japan, Korea. The exhibitions feature pictures from SFMOMA's extensive collection of postwar Japanese photography, one of the most highly regarded in the country, and from the museum's growing collection of contemporary photographs from China, Japan, and Korea.
The Provoke Era: Postwar Japanese Photography, the museums' first survey of postwar Japanese pictures, will include nearly a hundred works from the 1960s through the 1990s, as well as a number of rare books and magazines.
In the wake of its defeat in World War II, Japan sought to both forget the past and transcend it. Aligning with the American victors in an unexpected embrace, the country catapulted itself almost overnight from an historic empire to a democratic nation with a competitive economy. Although it had experienced extreme poverty immediately following the war, it now not only accepted the presence of its Western occupiers but widely appropriated the American influences of capitalism and democracy, and even elements of popular culture, such as jazz. The complicated and at times ambiguous atmosphere created by the transformation from a traditionally restrictive social structure into a new egalitarian society provided fertile material for the burgeoning artistic community. Photography was ideally suited to record this rapidly changing environment, and the medium experienced an important avant-garde development.
The exhibition title is derived from a small-press photography magazine, Provoke: shiso no tame no chohatsuteki shiryo (Provoke: Provocative Materials for Thought), founded in 1968 by a group of photographers and writers united in their pursuit of a new and more expressive visual language. The works on view provide a context for this incendiary time, and include work from the postwar period, from the Provoke movement itself, and from later generations of artists who have felt its impact.
Among the earliest works in the exhibition are those by photographers Shomei Tomatsu, Kikuji Kawada, Eikoh Hosoe, and Ikko Narahara, who united in 1959 to form VIVO, a collaborative group modeled on the Magnum Photos agency. The cooperative shared a common philosophy that sought to forge a new critical practice in opposition to established photographic conventions. Rejecting straightforward realism, this new generation of Japanese photographers projected a more personal and ambiguous vision of Japan, such as that in Hosoe's, Kamaitachi #31(1968), which exemplifies the violent upheaval and passionate artistic response that followed the war.
International political turmoil and increased consumerism were the catalysts for the Provoke movement, formed in 1968 by photographers and writers including Takuma Nakahira and, later, Daidō Moriyama. Reacting against the narrative and descriptive properties of photojournalism, the Provoke artists embraced a style they called are-bure-boke (rough, blurred, out of focus), with which they sought to deconstruct traditional photographic conventions (as can be seen in Moriyama's Hotel, Shibuya [1969]). Provoke, their self-published magazine, was conceived as both a photographic and political manifesto.
By the 1970s, Japan's economic bubble had burst and the Provoke era had come to an end. Photographers became interested in investigating underlying social and economic structures; Hiroshi Watanabe surveyed the underworld society of Shinjuku, and Masahisa Fukase turned inward, examining his solitude after the dissolution of his marriage in Seikan Ferry Boat, from the series The Solitude of Ravens (1976). Since that time, Japan has continued to support a diverse and flourishing photographic culture, which has transformed and grown as the country has evolved.
Photography Now: China, Japan, Korea features some sixty-five pictures, many newly acquired and on view for the first time. As an enhancement to its Japanese photography collection, SFMOMA acquired in 2007 and 2008 a diverse group of fifty pictures from thirteen emerging photographers in China and has also added a selection of photographs from Korea. The work in the exhibition examines the diverse approaches of photographers working in China, Japan, and Korea even as globalization has allowed for faster and more fluid cross-cultural influence. As evidenced in Japan, photography is well suited to record the rapid changes transforming modernizing nations. Amateurs and professionals alike contrast the collision of traditional customs and modern Western culture, resulting often in remarkable and occasionally unsettling pictures.
Unlike earlier generations whose work was more stylistically cohesive, contemporary Japanese photographers embrace a broad range of subject matter and approaches, as is seen in Mikio Matsuo's minimal portraits of Zen monks and Naoya Hatakeyama's examination of Osaka's evolving cityscape.
China's artistic community blossomed after the Cultural Revolution and the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. As Western influences from popular culture to philosophical theory have more freely crossed the country's borders, artists have developed a complex and self-reflexive approach to making art that often combines creative expression with political and social criticism. With the recent construction of the Three Gorges Dam, which has displaced massive populations and demolished historic cities and towns, photographers have both documented the changing face of the rapidly developing nation and staged events for the camera that reflect the effects of modernization on rural populations and the environment. One of the fathers of the performance art movement in the 1990s, Zhang Huan draws on family photographs to allude to notions of kinship and belonging and relies on the artist's body, which becomes a provocative site from which to explore sociocultural, political, and even personal conditions.
A new generation of Korean photographers is beginning to make a mark on the international photography scene. With the rise in student travel in the 1980s, new creative perspectives have filtered back into the country, prompting vigorous artistic exploration. Often informed by traditional Korean art forms including ink painting, photographers such as Bohnchang Koo focus on the natural world and organic structures, making pictures within a minimal aesthetic.

Unmasking the Mortgage Interest Deduction - Update 2012
Who Benefits and By How Much?
December 12, 2012Anthony Randazzo, Dean Stansel
The federal income tax code is riddled with loopholes, deductions and credits designed to promote various social goals and benefit assorted groups of Americans. One of the largest of these is the mortgage interest deduction (MID), which allowed taxpayers to claim benefits of $82.7 billion in 2010, the latest data available. Given the number of recent proposals to change the MID in some way, it is helpful to review which households are claiming the mortgage interest deduction.
In a new policy summary, Reason Foundation offers a update to the 2011 study "Unmasking the Mortgage Interest Deducton" and takes a look at who is currently benefiting from the MID.
Joint Committee on Taxation data shows households making $100,000 or more a year constitute 55 percent of those claiming the MID, and they receive 78 percent of the deduction's total benefits. The last two columns of our table of the JCT data show the average tax savings that households in each income group receive from the MID, and what those savings represent in monthly savings. For example, the MID saves middle-class households making between $40,000 and $75,000 a year around $80 a month. The MID is not the middle-class savior it is made out to be.
Reason Foundation Supreme Court Amicus Brief: Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District
The Florida Supreme Court's decision violates the takings clause and should be reversed by the Supreme Court
December 1, 2012The use and enjoyment of private property is a fundamental right, and important to a democratic society. The takings clause was designed to protect this core value.
This Court has long recognized that limitations on the exercise of rights in private property are as much "takings" as are physical invasion of property. Government regulation tends to become ubiquitous, and government constantly develops new and artful ways to appropriate rights to use and enjoy private property for the "public good." Unless constrained by a requirement to compensate owners of private property, in a majoritarian system, government agencies will allocate disproportionate burdens of achieving public purposes to politically weak segments of the citizenry.
The Florida Supreme Court incorrectly court assumed that in Nollan and Dolan the land-use agencies had issued permits after actually taking the exacted property. In fact, in both Nollan and Dolan the agencies had imposed the exactions prior to issuance of the permits, similar to the case at bar.

breaking news
For almost 40 years now, one the biggest corn-producing counties in the tri-state has held a festival to celebrate the end of the harvest. But this year, farmers in Union County have lost at least half of their crops after one of their worst corn seasons in years. Festival officials say this weekend is for celebrating the end of the harvest season, but seventh generation farmer Gary Stenger says there wasn't nearly as much corn to celebrate. He says hands down corn is one the county's most important crops. But besides farmers, many at the festival say they too feel the pain of this year's drought. Journie Mannahan produces kettle corn, and even his wallet is hurting. But farmers and families say they believe the worst is behind them. The festival is celebrating its 39th year and almost everyone says they're hopeful for a better harvest season next year.

I have so many skirts and dresses I wanna wear this summer, but I live in the middle of a city, and if I were to walk out in a skirt, I would be harassed nonstop. Like today, I wore a t-shirt and a skirt, but had to put on tights in order to avoid getting wolfwhistles (it's hot here. it was torture). However, I still got guys yelling things and thinking they somehow have a right to treat me like that. In conclusion, please enjoy your summer dresses for my sake!
P.S: My word verification was ANGST! haha - June 11, 2009 at 9:15 PM

I did a full format of the hard drive and installed win98 but I am still getting the errors. Does anyone have any ideas what my problem may be? The only other thing I can think of is one of my devices is goin bad but they all seem to be working fine. Here are my system specs.

1 studies in Primary progressive aphasia (PPA)
PiB PET Scanning in Speech and Language Based Dementias
Rochester, MN
View Summary
PiB PET Scanning in Speech and Language Based Dementias
Rochester, MNTrial status:
Open for EnrollmentWhy is this study being done?
Speech and language based dementias (SLDs) (often referred to as primary progressive aphasias or PPA) are neurodegenerative diseases in which speech or language impairments are the most salient features of the disease and explain deficits in activities of daily living. Patients with SLDs may have poor grammar, prominent anomia, comprehension deficits, speech production and articulation problems, difficulty with repetition of words or sentences, word finding pauses, or a combination of all these features. The SLDs can be further divided into different subtypes. Up to 50% of patients with SLDs that go on to autopsy have shown Alzheimer type pathology where beta-amyloid deposition is observed; the rest have pathology consistent with frontotemporal lobar degeneration where beta-amyloid deposition is absent. Future disease modifying treatments that target beta-amyloid will most likely differ from treatments that do not target beta-amyloid. As a consequence, biomarkers are needed to differentiate patients with SLDs with and without beta-amyloid deposition. Little research has been done to identify biomarkers that could differentiate patients with SLDs with and without beta-amyloid, mainly because the gold standard to identify the presence of beta-amyloid has been pathological examination, which does not always occur, and may not occur until more than 10 years after onset. The recent development of [N-methyl-11C]2-(4'-methylaminophenyl)-6-hydroxybenzothiazole also known as 11C Pittsburgh Compound B or PiB is a solution to this problem since PiB allows the in vivo detection of beta-amyloid. Unfortunately, PiB is very expensive. The long term goal of our research is to develop a cost effective algorithmic approach to the evaluation and diagnosis of patients presenting with SLDs. The objective of the studies outlined in this proposal is to identify clinical, neuropsychological, or imaging biomarkers that are readily available, relatively inexpensive, and non-invasive that will allow the differentiation of patients with SLDs with and without beta-amyloid deposition. We will use PiB as an indicator of beta-amyloid pathology. Our proposal is predicated upon our strong preliminary data showing that clinical, neuropsychological and radiological features differ between patients with SLDs with and without beta-amyloid deposition. Our central hypothesis is that temporo-parietal lobe findings such as memory loss, visuospatial/perceptual impairment, parietal lobe atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and parietal lobe hypometabolism on [18-F]-fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), will be associated with beta-amyloid deposition (PiB positive status). On-the-other hand, frontal lobe features, such as apraxia of speech and behavioral and executive dysfunction, as well as extrapyramidal features such as Parkinsonism, will be associated with absence of beta-amyloid deposition (PiB negative status). The rationale for examining these clinical-imaging relationships is that successful predictions will provide a solid scientific foundation for the ultimate development of a cost effective algorithm to guide the diagnosis of SLDs. Patients found to be eligible and willing to enroll in this study will be asked to undergo a Neurologic Examination, a Speech Pathology Consultation, Neuropsychometric testing, an MRI scan, an FDG PET scan and a PiB PET scan of the brain. This will be done over a period of two days at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Barry Lester, PHD
Edit My PageTitle: Professor of Psychiatry & Human Behavior, Professor of Pediatrics
Department: Deptartment of Psychiatry & Human Behavior, Department of Pediatrics, Director, Brown Center for the Study of Children at Risk
+1 401 453 7640
Barry Lester's research is on the study of developmental processes in children at risk. This includes children at risk because of biological factors and children at risk due to social factors.
Barry M. Lester, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychiatry & Human Behavior and Pediatrics at Brown Medical School. He is founder and Director of the Brown Center for the Study of Children at Risk at Women & Infants Hospital, and Brown Medical School. The Center provides research and clinical services for infants at risk and their families as well as research and clinical training. Dr. Lester received his Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Michigan State University in 1973. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. His specialty is developmental processes in infants at risk, including infants with prenatal substance exposure. He is particularly interested in the interplay between the biological, parenting, and social environmental forces that drive development. His research has been supported by NIH grants for over 30 years. A past member of NIH study sections, Dr. Lester is currently a member of the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse. He is past president of the International Association for Infant Mental Health. He is the author of more than 200 scientific publications and 16 books.
Research Description
Barry Lester is primarily interested in the study of developmental processes in children at risk. This includes children at risk because of biological factors and children at risk due to social factors. Risk is broadly defined and includes cognitive and academic deficits, antisocial behavior, psychopathology, and substance use onset. We have studied biological factors such as prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, and prenatal exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs (cocaine, marihuana and methamphetamine). Social factors include poverty, home environment, and parenting factors. The study of the interplay between biological and social factors provides an understanding of the mechanisms that determine developmental outcome. We have used interdisciplinary longitudinal research designs starting in the fetal and infancy periods to study the unfolding of developmental processes in normal and at-risk children though adolescence. We use both standardized tests and have developed our own neurodevelopmental measures to see how children react under mild stress. We also use cross-cultural designs to study "naturalistic" experiments in environmental and parenting conditions. Translational research includes the study of treatment for behavioral disorders in infancy and early childhood and social policy research involving the judicial and child welfare systems.
