Favorite Photo Mysteries
Posted by
I'm taking a short vacation, so instead of a new column I'm taking a look back at some of my favorite mysteries.
Back in January
I published a photo of the Hobo 8
, a group of young people (above) smiling for the camera. It's a great photo that captures the fun they were having. The sign and the 80 after it remain a mystery. Any ideas?
The problem of the
Texas Twosome
continues to be a challenge. I've taken these photos on the road with me and shown them in locales from coast to coast in the hopes of a new clue. I've outlined researchers' ideas in a series of blog posts, linked below. Please let me know if you have any new thoughts on the matter.

A fun picture of another group of friends was the image from

. I love the fact that photos are in the background. Those images could help solve the identity of the people in the photo, if only they were clearer.

Your Mourning Pictures
Posted by
Two weeks ago I
about mourning traditions and clothing and asked for e pictures of women wearing mourning clothes. This week, I'm featuring the two I received as well as one from my work collection of images.
Toni Mann sent in this very interesting photo. It's a 20th century snapshot. It blurs when I enlarge it, but I think the women in the far background are wearing clothing from the early 1900s. The woman to the left of the headstone wears late 1890s mourning clothes. Perhaps her husband is buried there. Toni thinks it was taken in the Chicago area. Anyone recognize the headstone?
Charman Davis emailed this photo of the Hulse Family August 1907 reunion. The woman on the left lost her husband the previous month. Everyone wears light-colored summer clothes except for the widow.
I bought this photo several years ago. It dates from the late 1890s and depicts a woman in mourning standing by a burial. It's a new grave, based on the fresh flowers piled on it. It's intriguing that a widow would hire a photographer to take her picture in this setting.

Prize Catch
Posted by
No doubt about it, I've looked at a lot of family photos. Every so often there's an image that not only depicts an ancestor, but also documents a bit of local history. Take this photo, for instance:
Pamela Fisher sent me this photo owned by her cousin Lorrie Glover. The women thinks the man on the right (with the dog) is their great-grandfather Otis Shepardson.
Not everyone in the family agrees. Shepardson was born in 1880 in Home Valley (Cowlitz County), Wash.
This picture is mounted to a gray piece of card stock. It can be difficult to date a group photo where no one is wearing very fashionable clothes. Men's clothing is particularly challenging because the fashion changes are subtle. The style of men's hats suggests that it was taken circa 1900. If that's true then it could be Otis.
There is one woman in the picture. She wears a frontier-style bonnet that protects her face from the sun. Perhaps one of the boys is her son.
Also in the photo is a man in the background who looks like he just stepped off his horse. He wears a cowboy hat and a kerchief around his neck.
This photo just begs the viewer to fill in the details and answer these questions.
Who shot the mountain lion?
Why are the men gathered around? (It could be the day the lion was placed there.)
I think I
why a taxidermied mountain lion is on display in the town. It's quite possible that this animal threatened the town. Once it was shot, the town mounted it on tree stump (notice the wooden post to keep its head up). Whoever shot it must have been the town hero.
My husband's ancestral hometown of Peru, Vt., once had a bear on display in the town center. I have photographic proof in an early 20th century postcard.

Mourning Clothes
Posted by
Ten years ago, I analyzed a photo sent to me from a woman in New Zealand. In the
New Zealand Mystery
, I discussed the family information, but also described her clothing and how it indicated she was in mourning.
Queen Victoria set the standard for both wedding attire and for mourning. After the death of Prince Albert in 1861, she wore black mourning clothes for the rest of her life. In the Victorian era, men would wear a black armband when someone died, but women wore full black crape (the 19th century spelling for
) dresses for a year and a day. Then they wore just crape-trimmed black dresses for another 21 months. (Tortora and Eubank,
Survey of Historic Costume,
But what if your family didn't have the resources of the woman depicted above? A wardrobe of mourning clothes probably wasn't economically feasible. Instead, clothes could be rented or borrowed for the funeral. According to the 1877 article by Henry R Hatherly, "Mourning Clothes as a Source of Infection" (
Sanitary Record: A Journal of Public Health
Google Books
), less-fortunate folks were spreading disease by wearing clothing worn by others—in particular, skin and parasitic diseases.
Not just Queen Victoria's subjects followed mourning customs. This week I looked at a tintype from Dresden. The dark clothing and the large hat with long, heavy fabric at the back suggests this 1880s woman is in mourning. The style of the hat is a bit unusual. I think the browband helps keep the hat on her head.
If you have any 19th-century photos of family wearing crape, I'd love to see them. You can
e-mail them to me

Follow-up to Stitching Together An Identification
Posted by
Two weeks ago in
Stitching Together An Identification
, I wrote about Candace Fountoulakis and her search to identify the women in two photos. At the time she thought they were related.
Soon after I posted the column she wrote to update me on her search. Now she doesn't think there is a connection. Her research didn't turn up a link.
She knows the single woman is "Aunt Mary Jane Hill," but now thinks that the couple could be either from the Newburn or the Mathews family.
Candace hopes that either the other researcher working on the family history will discover a new clue or that her mother holds the key in her box of old photos.
She's done all the right things—compared pictures, researched the photographic evidence, consulted family and delved into family history. My fingers are crossed that all her efforts result in another identified picture!
Of course, there is another possibility—they aren't relatives at all. <smile>
Family collections are often a collection of family and friends.

Uncovering Your Revolutionary War Ancestor
Posted by Diane
This carte de visite of Daniel Frederick Bakeman commemorates his status as the last living Revolutionary War soldier in 1868. Bakeman died the following year. This image was widely available in the 19th century and Bakeman is generally accepted as the last living Revolutionary War soldier, but there is one problem: Other lesser-known men outlived him and were photographed. One such man was John Kitts of Baltimore, who died in September 1870.
Photographs of other members of the Revolutionary War generation exist in public, private and family collections. While I've collected 70 images of men, women and children who lived during the war, I know that additional images are still undiscovered. I'm hoping that by studying your family photograph collections that you'll find images that meet the following criteria:
Men who lived during the war and who were alive after 1839 when photography was introduced in the United States would be at least 80 years of age. These individuals could be patriots, soldiers, loyalists or non-participants in the war.
Women may be wives or widows. Locating pictures of these women means looking at pictures taken anywhere from the advent of photography to the early 1900s. The last Revolutionary War widow died in 1906,
according to this
New York Times
Please contact me

Stitching Together an Identification
Posted by
Last June, I wrote about a
photo owned by Candace Fountoulakis
that was surrounded by a cross-stitch pattern. At the time I published the photo, Candace thought the couple was from either her Watts or Boohler side of the family, but now she's not sure. This photo changed her mind:
This photo was in her mother's collection and is captioned: "Aunt Mary Jane Hill." The young woman wears a beautiful dress with dark trim on the bodice. Her small waist is highlighted by a belt. She leans on a chair for support. This pose and the dress style were common in the 1866-1868 period. The line line border was also common on card photographs in the late 1860s.
Now Candace thinks this woman is the sister of the woman in the first image:
The image above was also taken in the 1860s, making it possible for the two women to be of the same generation.
Candace knows a lot about the Hill family. They were a pioneer family in Gallia County, Ohio, and intermarried with the Watts family.
Additional research needs to be done before confirming that these two women are sisters, including:
If this is Mary Jane's sister, it's important to verify the birth date and parentage of this woman.
Who's the man in the photo?
Are there any other pictures of him in the family?
Since both images were in Candace's family, it's clear that there is some connection to her. All that's left is to put the pieces together.

Spotting a Wedding Photo
Posted by
Irene Powell sent me this lovely wedding photo of her great-grandfather Joseph Kapler and his wife, Theresa. They were married in December, 1888.
Their clothing is perfect for the late 1880s. Theresa's dress features a fitted bodice and her sleeves have vertical puffs at the shoulder seam. Her skirt has knife pleats at the side. Joseph wears a fitted 1880s jacket, a shirt with an upturned collar, vest and tie. He has short hair and a trimmed mustache.
This photo is a perfect example of how a bride would often wear a very nice dress, rather than the Victorian ideal of a white ensemble. In this case, Theresa has accessorized her attire with wedding white in the bow at her neckline and a tiny headpiece. She doesn't carry a bouquet, but Joseph wears a large corsage pinned to his jacket. These tiny clues identify this as a wedding photo, even though neither one wears a wedding ring.
You might have wedding images in your collection and not recognize them. Watch for accessories that suggest a wedding—headpieces, corsages, flowers, bows and even sashes. Match up the family history information with a date for a photo, and you might be surprised that you have a wedding image or two. Getting married was a significant family milestone, and one that couples often commemorated with photos.
I've never seen the item that stands between them. It appears to be a small table, but it has unusual filigree legs and a support under the drum. Can anyone identify it?

Jamboree Mystery Photo
Posted by
I'm back from the
Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree
. Over 1,700 folks attended the three-day event. I met many readers of this column. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello!
As usual, I held individual photo consultations. This is one of my favorite part of going to conferences because I get to look at photos and chat face-to-face with their owners. I hear a lot of interesting family stories and see some amazing photos. This week, I'm sharing one of them with you:
Kris Robinson and her sister visited me at Jamboree to try to answer a question. They know the man in the middle of this picture is their father, Robert Robinson (born in 1917), but they wonder if one of the women could be his mother, whom the Robinson ladies never knew. This casual snapshot of three smiling people has a bit of a dark side.
Lola Cloos Robinson was born in 1894 in Illinois. Her father abandoned the family when she was young. By 16, she was on her own working as a domestic in Unity, Ill. Kris isn't sure how her grandparents met, but they appear with their two boys in the 1920 Mason City, Iowa, census. One died at 4 years of age. In 1927, the family moved to California; they lived in Los Angeles and Huntington Park from 1928 to 1932, when they disappear from the city directories.
Robert Robinson never discussed his family history or mentioned any other relatives. He had an unhappy childhood. However, Kris' mother told her that her father Robert had come home from school one day to find his mother gone. Lola had been institutionalized at a local hospital for unknown reasons. Kris is trying to gain access to those records.
Kris and her sister have spent a lot of time discovering the details of this woman's life. Just recently, they learned that Lola had two aunts and two cousins living in Los Angeles in 1931 and that those individuals had children.
Could one of the women that linked arms with Robert be his mother? The clothing styles reflect the styles of the early 1930s especially the sailor collared shirt worn by the woman on the left; the women's calf length skirts; Robert's suit with the bold tie; and the sweater worn by the woman on the left. You can find similar outfits in Sears Catalogs of the period. This dates the photo to the early 1930s, when Robert was in his mid-teens.
This photo raises so many questions.
It's an amateur snapshot, probably part of a series of images. Who's the photographer?
Where's the rest of the roll and who owns it?
If Robert's mother was institutionalized when he was young, when was she released? This information would help determine if onf of the women in the picture could be her.
If one of the women is her, I vote for this woman. She's older than the teen on Robert's other arm. She's also wearing lipstick, which young teens in the period generally didn't wear.
I hope Kris and her sister can solve the information riddle surrounding this woman's life. Perhaps someone will see this column and recognize Robert and the women in the photo. Anyone have the rest of the roll?

text: As important as the history of the winery itself is its location in Sonoma County's newest American Viticultural Area (AVA), Bennett Valley. Although only formally recognized as an AVA in December 2003, Bennett Valley has a rich history of grape growing dating back to the mid-1800s. Once defined as part of Sonoma County's Sonoma Valley and Sonoma Mountain AVA's, Bennett Valley overlaps with these winegrowing regions but carves out 8,150 acres to call its own (of which 850 acres are planted with grapevines). Three mountains define Bennett Valley and also serve to capture a cool maritime air stream which promotes a cooler, longer growing season that results in more complex wines.

Unlike plants, fungi cannot make their own food. They absorb their
food from dead organic matter, or other living organisms. The source of
their food is called a substrate if it is dead, and a host if it is
The body (mycelium) of a fungus is made of threads called hyphae. Hyphae absorb nutrients from the substrate, spread, grow, and produce fruiting bodies. The fruiting body of the fungus is the part that we can see, and touch.
|Black Truffle
|Cup Fungus
|Giant Puffball

Mycorrhizae result from the symbiosis (partnership) between a fungus' hyphae and a living plant root. Symbiotic partnerships occur only between living organisms. If a fungus obtains its carbohydrates from dead organic matter it is a "decomposer" and not symbiotic.
Symbiotic partnerships are formed in three ways. A parasitic relationship benefits the fungus but harms the host. In mutual symbiosis, both fungus and host benefit from their partnership. A neutral symbiosis benefits the fungus with no harm or benefit to the host.
Mycorrhizal symbioses are mutual and two types are recognized: ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae.
In ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, the hyphal threads coat the tips of tree roots. Some threads spread from the root coating into the soil to capture minerals. Others spread inward between the root cells. These hyphae make a path from the soil into the tree for the minerals the tree needs, and allow the fungus to feed in turn upon the carbohydrates produced by the tree's photosynthesis.
The importance of the ectomycorrhizal partnership is shown in the close physical relationship between the fungus and its host tree. It is very difficult to separate hyphae from the host cells. Ectomycorrhizal hosts include many trees: oaks, pines, firs, hemlocks, beeches, birches, and more. Many large forest fungi form ectomycorrhizal partnerships, both truffles with underground fruiting bodies and fungi with the umbrella-shaped fruiting bodies known as mushrooms.
Endomycorrhizal partnerships are the most common type of mycorrhizal symbiosis. Endomycorrhizal fungi do not coat the root. Only a few hyphae spread across the root's surface and those that pierce the root enter into the root cells. The hosts for this symbiosis are green plants that are not ectomycorrhizal. This type of fungus usually produces single spores in the soil for reproduction, not large fruiting bodies.

Attention O'Reilly: Fox hosts were wrong about health insurance jail time last fall... and last week
Earlier this week, Bill O'Reilly claimed, "[W]e researched to find out if anybody had ever said you are going to jail if you don't buy health insurance. Nobody has ever said it." Media Matters quickly responded, pointing out [1] numerous occasions on which Fox News hosts had done just that. Even O'Reilly's colleague Neil Cavuto acknowledged [2] the next day that "a number of Fox personalities" made the false claim.
But unwilling to admit that he was wrong, O'Reilly returned with more spin [3], claiming that "Nobody at Fox News reported inaccurately about the Obamacare prison situation. Nobody." According to O'Reilly, "Last fall, when jail time was on the table, Fox News reported on it," but they stopped doing so once "the prison option was taken off the bill when the final Obamacare bill was being debated."
We again responded, noting that those fall Fox reports were false -- the bill they were discussing would not have penalized failure to buy insurance with jail time. It would have penalized failure to have health insurance with a tax, and those who refused to pay that tax could have been subject to "criminal penalties for noncompliance," just like they would be if they failed to pay other types of taxes. We also noted that the Joint Tax Committee stated [4] that fewer than 100 people were convicted for "willful failure to file or pay taxes" in fiscal year 2008, and that "The majority of delinquent taxes and penalties are collected through the civil process."
But it doesn't stop there.
Here's Fox's Bill Hemmer on March 19 -- the day the health care reconciliation package was released -- pushing the debunked myth by asking of the legislation, "Could people be going to jail for not owning health insurance?"
The Joint Committee on Taxation later stated [5] that under the Senate health bill and the reconciliation bill, which both subsequently passed, "individuals who fail to maintain minimum essential [health insurance] coverage in 2016 are subject" to a fee, but that "[n]on-compliance" with that fee "is not subject to criminal or civil penalties." In other words, you cannot be imprisoned for not paying the taxes levied for not having health insurance under the reform law.
That didn't keep Fox Business' Eric Bolling from falsely claiming on April 10 that if you don't have health insurance, the IRS "can fine you $750 or 2 percent of your income, whichever is more. If you don't pay they'll take it out of your refund. And God forbid you don't have a refund and you still don't want to pay they'll probably put you in jail." Watch:
What was it O'Reilly said? Oh, right. "Nobody at Fox News reported inaccurately about the Obamacare prison situation. Nobody."

VICTORVILLE - Firefighters helped a homeless couple deliver their baby girl at a homeless encampment Friday morning.
"When we arrived, the mother was being assisted by a male and another woman inside a tent," said Jay Hausman, spokesman for the San Bernardino County Fire Department.
Firefighters assisted with cutting the umbilical chord. Paramedics then took the mother and child to a hospital, officials said.
Firefighters received a call at 7:09 a.m. regarding a childbirth at a homeless encampment in the river bottom of the Mojave River, near the corner of D and Sixth streets, said fire Dispatch Supervisor Tim Franke.
The birth of the baby marks the second time a homeless woman from the same area has delivered a child in less than a week.
On March 9, a woman was rushed to a hospital where she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, according to Annie Lancaster, the founder of Mojave Animal Rescue, which works to provide medical care and supplies for the pets of the homeless in the High Desert.
Through her non-profit, she has also worked to supply homeless families with help.
"Both families were absolutely over-the-moon over the birth of the babies," Lancaster said Friday in a written exchange.
The first woman and her husband, who have not been identified, have moved from the area and have found support and a place to live to raise their child, Lancaster said.
The woman who gave birth on Friday already has a place to stay once she's released from the hospital, Lancaster said but would not say where the woman and child would be staying or who facilitated the location.
According to county fire officials, rescuers are responding to about a dozen medical aid calls in the river bottom area every month.
"The overwhelming majority of calls we run in that area are for single men, however it's not as uncommon as it used to be running on females in that area," county Fire Department spokesman Eric Sherwin said in a recent interview.
The news of the second baby being born to a homeless woman sent a buzz through social media on Friday.
On a Facebook group, Victor Valley News Group, many people posted positive messages for the mother and child, but several people wondered what would happen to the child.
One person, though, inferred that the family would now be taking advantage of the already-taxed public assistance system while another blamed the couple for their situation.

Horning in on a pair of laptops
This is a tale of two laptops, the two that often accompany me — individually or occasionally together — when I leave the house.
I like them both. But now I sit on the horns of a dilemma because I don't know which should be my Number One.
One is a behemoth: The Toshiba Satellite L455 is nearly big enough for me to live in, should I become homeless. It's got a nice screen, 4GB of RAM, and a lot of other things going for it. Despite its anchor-heavy weight, it is a spotless machine, and over the past several weeks it has served as my daily road warrior.
The other has been at my side for as long as I've ever owned hardware: An IBM ThinkPad T60. This laptop has only 2GB of RAM — only, he says — in the standard-issue workhorse in years past of the Linux set. The years and conferences have left its mark on this one, with stickers on the cover that would put any NASCAR racer to shame. The wireless card in this machine deserves special remark — I can pick up wifi from rural Canada with this ThinkPad (OK, a slight exaggeration), and the square screen allows a larger workspace than the Satellite.
The Satellite weighs about a ton and a half and I schlep it around with a Targus backpack. The ThinkPad is a lot lighter and goes in a Dell laptop bag ($2.50 at the Abbot's Thrift Store on half-price day).
The Satellite has a slightly larger hard drive — not the original equipment, since I saved this laptop from recycling doom when my former employer was about to throw it out, sans hard drive and memory ("Hey, do you have any use for this laptop?" "Um, yeah."). The ThinkPad, though with a smaller drive and less memory, never fails to get the work done that I expect from it.
Therein lies probably the tipping point: I can depend on the ThinkPad to handle everything, where the Toshiba, with its bigger drive and more memory sometimes falls short of expectations. Not wanting to get into the "inside baseball" of distro nuances on particular hardware, generally speaking the Toshiba has sometimes found ways to be — how can I put this tactfully? — uncooperative with some distros.
So I'm thinking about going back to the ThinkPad as the primary outside-the-home hardware, and I wanted to see what others thought either way, pro or con, left or right, good or bad.

Mark Martin
|Like ALT
Hometown: Batesville, Ark.
Although not the oldest driver to ever win a race, Mark Martin is pretty darn close. He's one of four drivers 50 or older to win a Sprint Cup event. Bobby Allison, Morgan Shepherd and Harry Gant were the other three.
Martin's Sprint Cup career began a downward spiral in the new millennium, when he scored only four wins between 2000 and 2006. We don't say this to besmirch his ability behind the wheel, because Martin was getting older and it's not all that unusual for drivers to lose some of their edge when they pass age 40. It came as no surprise when he announced his semi-retirement in 2005. Martin had a very good career, gathering 35 wins between 1989 and 2005, and retirement or semi-retirement was certainly in order. There was just one problem - as storied as his career had been, he had never won a championship. He had been heart-breakingly close more than once, (second four different times), but NASCAR's Holy Grail remained just out of his reach.
However, Martin ended up driving for team owner Jack Roush for the entire 2006 season because Martin's replacement could not join the team until 2007 due to other obligations. For 2007 and 2008, Martin shared time with other drivers at DEI, running 24 races each year.
Then something happened ... something wonderful.
Martin was hired by legendary car owner Rick Hendrick for the 2009 season. One of the perks of driving for Hendrick is free use of the training and development facilities at the Hendrick Institute for Kick-Ass Drivers. The same institute that genetically engineered Jeff Gordon and built the sport's first synthetic driver, Jimmie Johnson was now at Martin's disposal. But Martin is an old school kind of guy and decided against internal power cells and cybernetic implants in favor of just swimming laps around the Hendrick pool to get himself toned up and ready for 2009.
After his first swim, during which he was joined by his friends Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley and Hume Cronyn, Martin felt like a new man. It was subtle at first - just a little extra spring in his step and a song in his heart, but pretty soon he was staying out all night dancing and eating like a teenager without worrying about his cholesterol. After the first week, he gave away his lifetime supply of a certain prescription medication given to him by a former sponsor and he developed a curious affinity for rap music. He wasn't sure what was going on, but it suddenly occurred to him that Rick Hendrick reminded him of someone else.
These thoughts didn't trouble Martin for long, because when the 2009 season started, he never looked back. He posted wins at
Martin now holds 38 career victories, 247 top fives and 44 poles. He lives in

Ray Price still hospitalized, condition improving
Listen to Ray Price on iHeartRadio
Ray Price is getting better. As promised, his wife Janie is offering an update on the country legend. She explains in a Facebook post that the doctor has "upgraded Ray's condition to 'good and improving daily.'"
She adds that Ray is "so much better" and is "alert and talking," but he'll have to remain in the hospital "for a few more days until his strength is better." Janie has also been reading the fans' messages to Ray. She says he appreciates everyone's thoughts and prayers, and is "moved" by all the love and concern people have for him.
While the 87-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer announced his hospitalization on Monday, Janie says Price was admitted last Thursday. She explains that his dehydration was cause by a medication he had to take for post-radiation syndrome.
While Janie doesn't directly link his current health setback to his cancer, the condition can be caused by cancer treatments. Price has pancreatic cancer. Earlier this year he said the disease was in remission.

Tornados Split Doubleheader With Mountain LionsFebruary 9, 2013
Young Harris, Ga.- The Brevard College baseball team split their doubleheader with the Young Harris Mountain Lions on Saturday afternoon at Zell B. Miller Field, winning the first game 9-2 before dropping the second game 5-4.
Game One – Brevard 9, Young Harris 2
The Tornados struck first with a run in the 4th and two more in the 5th to take a 3-0 lead in support of BC starter Brennan Daniels (W, 1-0).
Christian Christopoulos' sac fly scored Champ Stuart to put the Tornados on the board in the 4th. The Tornados scored on an RBI single by Bennett Hixson and an RBI groundout by Alex McGee in the 5th.
Daniels didn't allow an earned run in his first start of 2013, striking out six during five innings on the hill for the Tornados.
The Tornados picked up a run in the 7th on a McGee RBI single, and erupted for five runs in the top of the 9th. Alex McGee led the way for BC, finishing 2-for-4 with a run scored and four RBI's.
Reliever James Phillips (S, 1) held the Mountain Lions scoreless over the final four innings to earn the save
Game Two - Young Harris 5, Brevard 4
The Mountain Lions prevailed in walkoff fashion after the Tornados rallied for two runs to tie the game in the top of the 7th in an abbreviated game.
Aaron Goforth singled to lead off the 7th and scored on a Young Harris fielding error to make it 4-3. Champ Stuart, who reached on an infield single, scored the tying run on a Christopoulos sacrifice fly.
The Mounain Lions, however, had an answer in their half of the 7th. Trey Rogers started the winning rally with a single and moved to second on sac bunt by Jack Morrow. After an intentional walk to Adam Moore, Zach Bricknell singled on a 2-2 pitch to score Rogers from second base and lift the Mountain Lions to a 5-4 win.
The Tornados and Mountain Lions finish their four-game series on Sunday afternoon.

Belmont, N.C. – The Brevard College women's soccer was back in action on Monday afternoon, as the Tornados lost on the road to the Crusaders of Belmont Abbey 4-0 in non-conference action at Alumni Field in Belmont, N.C.
With the loss the Tornados fall to 4-7 on the year, while the Crusaders, who unbeaten in their last 21 matches, improve to 7-0-2 with the win.
Four Belmont Abbey players scored goals as the Crusaders controlled the match for most of the 90 minutes of play, outshooting the Tornados 21-0 and holding a 7-0 advantage in corner kicks.
The Crusaders first goal came in the 23rd minute of the first half, as Nicole Voets sent a pass down the center of the field to Connie Axiotis, who got behind the defense and beat BC freshman goalkeeper Jordan Box for the goal.
Shortly before intermission, the Crusaders made it 2-0 on a combination from Amanda Maddock to Celene Molera. Maddock sent a pass from the right flank to the left goalpost, where Molera headed home the pass for her team-leading eighth goal of the year.
Belmont Abbey added two more goals in the second half – Voets in the 67th minute and Erika Trivisonno with only 56 seconds left in the contest to come away with the 4-0 victory.
BC goalkeeper Box had seven saves as she was bombarded with 21 shots for the game.
The Tornados will jump back into South Atlantic Conference play on Thursday, October 2, as BC will travel to Harrogate, Tenn. to take on the Lady Railsplitters of Lincoln Memorial University. The game time is slated for 4 p.m. Belmont Abbey will play host to Anderson University at noon on Saturday, October 4.

Glaze Sprayer
Posted 08 April 2013 - 11:08 PM
Posted 09 April 2013 - 06:20 PM
Posted 09 April 2013 - 11:50 PM
technically, you can use an automotive paint spray gun -- it doesn't have the ideal aperture size for large particles/glaze, but they definitely work if you sieve well and water down your glaze slightly. our studio has been using a $10 paint spray set a student bought at an auto parts store, and it's been in use for several years without any issues as long as it gets cleaned out each use. personally, i like to use the Critter spray gun. I can't imagine it will be that difficult to find a spray gun in Australia. If you can't find one, look for online vendor - they will ship international unless they don't accept money...
Thanks for your reply, I have thought about a spray gun, however, thought the glaze would clog the nozzle. Will give it a try, you do mean one without a compressor, don't you?
Posted 10 April 2013 - 06:39 PM
yes, I mean the type you need an air compressor to run - either the siphon or gravity feed versions like below:
i have used an HVLP sprayer but never tried it with spraying glaze, only lacquer. it's possible that these might work, but not sure for glaze
there is also this type of airless sprayer that have a pump in the handle, not sure how these would work either
this is the Critter sprayer that i personally prefer. I found that materials didn't need to be watered down as much - such a simple design with a huge siphon aperture...it's basically a glorified atomizer. I like them because the design is stupidly simple, easy to clean, and doesn't have many parts to fail aside from maybe needing to replace the brass tip if a groove is worn into it (glaze materials are abrasive). Reservoir can also be changed out for pretty much any jar that has a mason-jar's mouth size/thread pattern. I use Best Foods Mayo jars since they are plastic and the lids seal very well for holding glaze when used just as a container. I'm sure this sprayer could be used as a media blaster if I wanted to...
Posted 10 April 2013 - 08:44 PM
I also have used an EZsprayer that I got from Archie Bray. It is similar to the Critter. hassle free.
It needs about 25 pounds pressure on the compressor.
Posted 11 April 2013 - 05:28 PM
I have anew HVLP compressor and spray gun and it is great. I did getto much coming out the first time I tried it. I will get the adjustment on the nozzle to be where I want it.
I also have used an EZsprayer that I got from Archie Bray. It is similar to the Critter. hassle free.
It needs about 25 pounds pressure on the compressor.
Marcia, good luck with your HVLP sprayer. I had one but found it very complicated to clean when changing colors. I have two EZ sprayers and like using them now that I filed down the tip so the spray goes out properly instead of gumming up. the problem I have is with their plastic bottles. I have about 20 of them and found that one shipment came in a box that was too small. the plastic was crushed down so that the threads were too far inside the neck of the bottle. one was even an oval. I have looked at two pottery supply houses and their bottles seem to be the same. and expensive for what you get. each of these 12 bottles leaks. I wish I could find a different supplier of bottles that would fit the threads on the EZ sprayer. does anyone know of a supply?
have never had to adjust a glaze to spray it except adding a little water. the glaze dries so quickly that handling is easy, no finger marks from dipping to try to cover. cleaning is simple, I just spray out some water from the bucket used for cleaning and change colors.

Brain injury - dischargeHead injury - discharge; Head trauma - discharge; Contusion - discharge; Shaken baby syndrome - discharge
Your friend or loved one was in the hospital after a serious brain injury. First, doctors and nurses provided treatment to prevent any further damage to the brain, and to help the heart, lungs, and other important parts of the body.
After the person became stable, doctors and nurses did tests and treatment to help them recover from the brain injury. They may have stayed in special units that help people with brain injuries.
What to Expect at Home
People with a serious brain injury improve at their own pace. They may regain an ability (such as movement or speech) then stay the same or get worse for a while. Both of these may be followed by another period where the person will have more improvement.
Behavior and Social Interaction
People may display inappropriate behavior after a brain injury. It is okay to point out when behavior is not appropriate. Explain the reason and suggest a different behavior. Offer praise when the person calms down or changes their behavior.
Sometimes suggesting a new activity or a new place to go is the best option.
It is important for family members and others to stay calm.
- Try to ignore angry behavior. Do not make a face or show anger or judgment.
- Your doctor, nurse, or therapist will help you learn when to decide to step in and when to ignore certain behavior.
Muscles, Joints, and Movement
At home, the person who had the brain injury may need to practice everyday activities. It may help to create a routine where certain activities are done at the same time each day.
The doctor, nurse, and therapist will help you decide how independent the person can be and when you can leave them alone. Make sure your home is safe so injuries don't happen. This includes making the bathroom safe, for eithera child or an adult,and protecting against falls.
Family and caregivers may need to help the person with the following:
- Exercising the elbows, shoulders, and other joints, to keep them loose
- Watching for joint tightening (contractures)
- Making sure splints are used in the correct way
- Making sure arms and legs are in a good position when sitting or lying
- Caring for musclespasticity or spasms
If the person is using a wheelchair, they will need follow-up visits with their health care provider to make sure it fits well. The person also needs to change positions in the wheelchair several times an hour during the day, to help prevent skin ulcers.
Learn to make your home safer if the person with the brain injury wanders in or from the home.
Diet and Swallowing
Some people with brain injuries forget about eating. If so, help them learn to add extra calories. Talk with your doctor if the person is a child. Children need to get enough calories and nutrition to grow.
If the person with the brain injury has problems with swallowing, help them follow any special diet that makes eating safer. Ask your doctor what the signs of swallowing problems are. Learn tips to make feeding and swallowing easier and safer.
Tips for Daily Life
Tips for making clothing easier to put on and take off:
- Do not give the person too many choices.
- Velcro is much easier than buttons and zippers. If the clothing has buttons or zippers, they should be in the front.
- Use pullover clothes when possible and slip on shoes.
Tips for talking to the person with a brain injury (if they have problems understanding):
- Keep distractions and noise down. Move to a quieter room.
- Use simple words and sentences, speaking slowly. Keep your voice lower. Repeat if needed. Use familiar names and places. Tell them when you are going to change the subject.
- If possible, make eye contact before touching or speaking to them.
- Ask questions so the person can answer "yes" or "no." When possible, give clear choices. Use props or visual prompts when possible. Do not give the person too many options.
When giving instructions:
- Break down instructions into small and simple steps.
- Allow time for the person to understand.
- If the person becomes frustrated, take a break or consider redirecting them to another activity.
Try using other methods of communicating:
- You may want to use pointing, hand gestures, or drawings.
- Develop a book with pictures of words or photographs to use when communicating about common topics or people.
Bladder, Bowels, and Bathing
Have a routine. Once the person finds a bowel routine that works, help them stick with it. Pick a regular time, such as after a meal or a warm bath.
- Be patient. It may take 15 to 45 minutes for the person to have bowel movements.
- Try having the person gently rub their stomach to help stool move through their colon.
The person may have problems starting to urinate or emptying all of the urine out of their bladder. The bladder may empty too often or at the wrong time. The bladder may become too full, and they may leak urine out of the overfilled bladder.
Some men and women may need to use a urinary catheter. This is a thin tube that is inserted into your bladder. Know how to care for the catheter.
When to Call the Doctor
Call the person's doctor if they have:
- Problems taking drugs for muscle spasms

OLYMPIA – Jan. 4, 2013 – Washington ranked 36th from the top in state and local taxes paid per $1,000 of personal income in 2010, according to Census Bureau data published by the Washington State Department of Revenue.
Washington ranked 42nd among the states in state and local taxes as a percentage of gross state product. Neighboring states Idaho ranked 6th and Oregon 39th. Gross state product is the value of goods and services produced in a state.
Washingtonians paid $96.08 in taxes for every $1,000 in income, the second lowest rate in 50 years. The lowest rate was recorded in 2009 at $93.24 and the third lowest rate was $98.43 paid in 1960, the earliest year for which reliable records are available.
Even though 2010 taxes were higher than in 2009, the state actually dropped one notch among the states from its 35th ranking in 2009 because taxes in some other states increased more. The national average was $106.54, up $4.44 from 2009.
Residents from 35 other states paid more in 2010, with New York ranking first at $204.12 per $1,000 personal income. Neighboring state Oregon ranked 35th at $96.88, while Idaho ranked 45th at $89.98. South Dakota was ranked 50th at $83.72.
The report also tracks taxes per capita. Washington ranked 21st at $4,016 in taxes per capita in 2010. The national average was $4,147. Taxes per capita tend to be higher in states with higher personal incomes.

BackTrack Linux
Hello all, this is the first post I have created, however I have been soaking up information from here for a long time. I searched the forum and google first so I hope this is not a dupe question in any way. With that said on to the question.
I am trying to use the windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp payload across the internet. I have configured the payload to connect to my external ip on port 31337. I have forwarded the port in my router to a workstation running a exploit/multi/handler listening on port 31337. The handler never receives any traffic coming from the victim. After executing the exploit/payload on the victim computer looking at netstat I see a connection to the external ip on the correct port. Do you guys know what I am doing wrong or have any suggestions on how I can make this successful?
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

I have been writing content for<snip>link deleted</snip> for nearly 2 years now. Though I have earned a steady stream of income from this site, I would like to work directly with new clients, and increase my earnings. However, it is difficult to get clients since most sites will not allow any direct communication with those who post jobs. Has anyone overcome this hurdle? I would appreciate some pointers.
Thank You
I don't think it is difficult if you have worked already.Now a days there are lot of sites which offers such services.Google them
Seriously? A lot of clients online are looking for decent writers. Have you tried elance, freelancer, and odesk? Writers are wanted all over the internet. As what people always say, content is king.
Well, you can create your own service website and optimize your site to get clients from search engines, it would take time but it is the perfect method of earning money. And you would be earning more than what you were earning as a freelancer before.
I have also been working for one of my client in past couple of months, and they liked my work and appreciated me. That helped me a lot, and now i am at a proper post of content writer in another company. You should try to search for jobs for content writer. It's really a great skill.
why you wont look at places like fiverr
tons of ppls looking to hire some publishers
In most of the projects there is no direct interactions between content writer and client. Try google searching, there are lots of projects available. After choosing appropriate project you can contact clients through email ids, phone numbers given. I and my friends got so many projects with this process and earned a good money. This is very simple and Trust me you too can get many projects.
The OP hasn't been back so I guess he's not interested in this thread anymore. I'm closing it.

Solange deletes all photos of Beyonce from her Instagram
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio | Listen to Solange on iHeartRadio
Say it ain't so!
The rift between Solange and Beyonce seems to really be serious.
Solange Knowles apparently deleted dozens of Beyoncé photos from her Instagram account, validating speculation that there is drama amongst the Knowles girls.
By Tuesday afternoon, only one photo of Beyoncé remained: a throw-back pic showing the two sisters posing next to music video director Melina Matsoukas.
Looks like Solange didn't like Beyonce's prayer for mended relationships and love.
Solange hasn't spoken out since video surfaced Monday showing the 27-year-old singer trying to fight Jay Z inside The Standard hotel elevator following the Met Gala after-party.
It wasn't the first time Solange got out of pocket that night. In addition to her elevator fight with Jay Z, Solo apparently got into it with designer Rachel Roy moments before.
This latest act by Solange seems to be a direct shot at Bey and we just hope Mama Tina intervenes!

REDLANDS -- Police arrested a Colton man for allegedly pimping a 17-year-old Loma Linda girl he met online.
Wilbert Andres Mancia-Mejia, 31, of Colton was arrested June 3 following a police investigation.
According to a Redlands police news release, Mancia-Mejia met the girl online in May and identified himself as 17-year-old "Albert Mann."
Police say they later met in person and a sexual affair between the two began.
During that alleged affair, Mancia-Mejia took photos of them having sex, according to the release.
That's when police say Mancia-Mejia posted compromising photos on the website Craigslist, to arrange for men to have sex with the girl.
On May 30, Mancia-Mejia rented a room in a Redlands motel and sent the victim inside to wait for him, police said.
According to police officials, who would not comment further citing the ongoing investigation, Mancia-Mejia waited in his car in the motel parking lot while an unidentified man went into the room and sexually assaulted the girl.
Before leaving, the man told her to wait in the room for five minutes before going anywhere.
On June 2, the girl reported the assault to police and Mancia-Mejia was arrested the following day. He was booked into the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino and held in lieu of $400,000 bail.
Detectives are asking for anyone with information related to the case to call Detective Natasha Crawford at 909-798-7623.
A recent prostitution sting operation in Redlands led to the arrests of four people.
On June 5, detectives with Redlands, San Bernardino and Riverside police departments and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department set up in a Redlands motel for the sting operation.
Detectives contacted women advertising as prostitutes on Craigslist.
Three women allegedly agreed to meet at the motel room. When each of the women arrived, price negotiations began for sex acts they would perform with the undercover officers. The women were arrested after the money changed hands.
Those arrested were Shanan Lea Akutagawa, 24, of Pomona; Ashley Marie Nissen, 24, of Perris; and Airyssa Shannon, 21, of Winchester.
All three were cited for prostitution and booked at Central Detention Center in San Bernardino.
Police also arrested parolee at large Gregory Wayne Atkins when he dropped one of the women off at the motel.
Another incident linked to a motel in Redlands occurred in December. A British national, Adam James Michael Robinson, 21, was accused of flying to the United States to have sex with an underage Highland girl he met online in a Redlands motel.
Robinson had at least six sexual encounters with the girl over two days, according to the criminal complaint filed by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
Good Nite Inn, 1675 Industrial Park Ave., the motel at which Robinson met the girl, is the same location where a man is accused of murdering Priscilla Santana, 29, of Hemet in May 2012.
Kameron Hamilton, 24, of Rialto was arrested as Santana bled to death from multiple stab wounds.
Police said at the time Santana was working as a prostitute and the two were involved in a relationship.
Robinson's and Hamilton's cases are still pending trial.

According to TMZ, Kevin is taking a leave of absence from the show because he is being accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16 year old boy. Sesame Street investigated the claims that, six years ago, Kevin and the boy had a sexual relationship. Sesame Street could find no wrongdoing, but Kevin asked for the leave of absence so he would be able to defend himself. Kevin admits having a relationship with the boy, but insists it happened after the 16 year old became legal. The teen has hired the same law firm that handled some of the victims who were molested by Jerry Sandusky. While Kevin has taken a leave, Elmo will continue to be on the show.

Stop by the rooftop bar at sunset for the best view of Columbia.
good workout facility hard to get a hold of staff TV reception horrible
The staff was very nice, and the bed was wonderful! Rooms very clean Parking was not included in the price of your room. Valet was $22 a night, or you could park your own car for $16 a day in the parking garage. We got in at two in the morning, so this was kind of a problem, as I decided to park at the meter due to the expense. Breakfast is not included in the price of the hotel, although there are several restaurants around the hotel.
Location Rusty towel bars; unexpected stay in poorly designed handicap access room; unique bar (in old bank vault) closed; ice machines on 4 floors inoperable; laundry chute door left open with no staff anywhere around making us glad we didn't bring our children with us. Will never stay there again.
Valet was pricey for Columbia
Valet was great , very prompt and courteous. Overall bad experience.Staff not personable. Room very cold and not very clean,(found hair in bath tub) Valet staff very nice. Breakfast room service disappointing. I will not recommend to friends and family
Definitely worth the stay. Updated rooms in old historic building.
This hotel has a ton to offer and the price is right
The help the staff was able to do or the suggestion if they could not It could use a little bit better maintenance team
Location I entered the property with s ankle injury and soft cast. While in shower I held onto hand hold bar and it collapsed and fell apart with large metal peices falling onto my leg creating tremendous pain Unbelieve you would approve a room for rental in that shadow.
Location Old, dirty, creaky floors, rusting hinges, noisy, etc. The housekeeping staff (and using that term for them is a stretch) was the rudest, kst inconsiderate I have ever encountered.
We really liked the atmosphere and the friendly staff. They made our stay very comfortable. The farmer's market on Saturday morning was a special treat with many great food options.
I didn't want to leave the bed! The only problem was the shuttle to the hotel but the manager was great about making up for it!
We have stayed here twice and both times I was very pleased with the service as well as the hotel. They also now have a Starbucks downstairs!!!!!
Good accomodation downtown. I had arranged for a hotel shuttle to pick me up which turned into an hour plus wait. To their credit, the hotel comped me breakfast and apologized for the inconvenience. Cab fare from the Columbia airport is $25 plus tip...
have been stayed twice in half year.Very friendly,helpful staff.The last time we checked in early,the room was not ready. We got free starbucks coffe coupon and free breakfast coupon.Room was ready in an hour when we were having lunch in the Center City Grille.We will def stay in there again!
Best staff ever, very welcoming and helpful! Best staff ever, very welcoming and helpful!
We were in Columbia for a nephew's wedding and his parents reserved rooms and held their reception here. From the moment we pulled into the unloading area it was nothing but incredible service! Everything was immaculate, the food in the restaurant was great. Our room was impeccable! THe beds were so incredibly comfortable, with down matress pads and comforters, six pillows on each bed... Our son wanted a portable crib so we called room service and they brought us a Graco Pack-N-Play. It was perfect! In the middle of the night (around 1am), my husband was sick and we needed some cleaning supplies and they brought them right up. Then, at 4am, my son woke up and wanted some milk. The kitchen was closed and the doors were locked, but they opened it up to get us some milk and brought it to us. The reception was incredible as well. The food was delicious and again, the service was great! The parking garage is attached to the hotel through a breezeway and is convenient and it feels safe to ha...
I stayed here for a conference being held so my job payed the bill. Very nice hotel but pricey... The staff was very courteous. Both the restaurant and bar served good meals. The common areas were clean. Internet was not free nor was parking. The bed was comfortable and I was unable to hear anything outside of the room which is always a plus (the hotel was pretty full because of the conference). But I have stayed in as nice and nicer hotels for 3/4 of the price...
Courteous staff. Great valet parking. Rooms acceptable but not spectacular. Flat TVs would perk up the property. Nice bath products. Some excellent views. I've stayed in this hotel half a dozen times and it's usually a good value for the money.
My wife and I stayed at this beautiful Marriott while visiting our daughter at USC. From the moment we stepped out of the car, the bellman, Eugene, greeted us with his Southern charm. I can see why many guests stay at the Marriott in Columbia. With the exceptional service and great location, we will come back to this grand hotel several more times in the upcoming years!
Great view and convenient to local bars and restaurants.
As Marriotts go, this one is OK. The rooms are comfy & nicely decorated. The hotel is clean and offers convenient dining options. The concierge/front desk were quite satisfactory. At check-in, the clerk was confused about how I had made and paid for the reservation- which made my nervous. I had issues with my door key every time I needed to get into my room. No mini-bar; room service was late. Overall, quite comfortable and very convenient location. SMOKERS beware, though- you'll be going outside at all times of day and night.

Brevard, N.C. - Holli Flippo knocked down five three-pointers and recorded her second 20-plus point performance on the season, but Breonda Shannon's double-double led visiting Anderson as Brevard fell in their South Atlantic Conference opener on Wednesday evening, 73-67.
Alissa Diaz broke a 66-66 tie in the final minute of the second half with a pair of free throws for Anderson (3-3, 1-0 SAC) and Shannon and Sierra Simpson went a combined 6-for-6 from the charity stripe in the final 20 seconds as the Trojans overcame Brevard (4-2, 0-1 SAC) in a back-and-forth game in Boshamer Gymnasium in the SAC opener for both teams.
Flippo led the Tornados with 20 points, going 5-for-8 from the three-point line and added a team high five rebounds in the loss. Micheala Watkins paced the Tornados defense with six steals and added 14 points, while Anna Schlobohm scored 10 points in the game for Brevard.
Diaz led Anderson with 20 points and added five rebounds, while Simpson scored 12 points and dished out seven assists in the Trojans victory. Shannon paced the Anderson rebounding efforts with 12 boards as the Trojans held the 34-22 advantage on the glass, and added 11 points in recording the double-double.
A layup by Watkins in the opening minute was matched by a jump shot by Amanda Parris, setting the stage for a competitive first half which saw the teams tie nine times and the lead change hands nine more times in the first 20 minutes.
Five straight points by Maci Siniard at the 3:00 mark broke the ninth tie of the first half, giving the Trojans the 30-25 advantage, and though Lindsay Brendle answered with a layup, Diaz knocked down a three-pointer and Simpson went in for the layup as the Trojans held the 35-27 advantage at the break.
Anderson pressed the advantage into double-digits, going up by as many as 16 at the 12:17 mark on a three-point play by Diaz, but Asheley Watkins brought the Tornados back to within striking distance with a floater in the paint at the 10:25 mark to bring the game within single digits. A layup by Tilde Ahlin and a three-pointer by Lauren Woods pushed the lead back to 14 at 61-47 heading into the media timeout.
Out of the timeout, Asheley Watkins hit a three-pointer from the top of the key and Brendle followed with a layup as the Tornados began a 16-0 run spanning the next four minutes, capped by a Schlobohm trey from the left wing as the Tornados took the 63-61 lead with 4:04 to play. Simpson answered with a jumper to tie the game up and the teams swapped the lead over the next three minutes as Micheala Watkins converted a three-point play and Siniard converted a layup.
With 44 seconds remaining, a foul sent Diaz to the free throw line and she converted both attempts to give the Trojans the 67-66 lead. A missed Brevard shot attempt and foul sent Shannon to the line, where she extended the lead to 69-66.
Watkins was fouled on the next Brevard possession, hitting one of her two attempts from the charity stripe, but Simpson and Shannon went 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the final 11 seconds and Asheley Watkins' three-point attempt rattled out as the Trojans held on for the 73-67 victory.
Brevard remains at home as they welcome #23 Tusculum College to Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday, December 3rd. The Brevard Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is hosting their annual toy drive for the Toys For Tots organization at the game, with free admission given to any fan who brings a brand-new toy to contribute to the drive. Tipoff for the South Atlantic Conference game between the Tornados and the Pioneers is set for 2 p.m.

Christina Hendricks Covers BlackBook March 2012
With less than a month remaining until her hit AMC show's new season gets underway, Christina Hendricks pitched in on the promotions by taking over the cover of the March 2012 issue of BlackBook.
The curvaceous 36-year-old actress showed off her enviable figure for the Kurt Iswarienko shot waterbound spread while dishing in the accompanying column about her Joan Holloway role and what to expect when "Mad Men" season five finally arrives.
Highlights from Christina's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to BlackBook!
On her character in "Mad Men":
"The amazing thing about Joan is how confident she is. She's living in the '60s, but she uses sexual innuendo, which is taboo. Because of that—and a very tight green dress—she became a sexual character. She was very openly saying, I have sex, and I don't care if you judge me. I'm not going to apologize for who I am."
On her goth style in high school:
"I wasn't one of those sloppy, dirty goths. I thought it was very beautiful and I went out of my way to do it right, in a very high-fashion kind of way."
On what to expect this season on "Mad Men":
"A lot happens this year. Last year was building up to what was going to happen with Don and Betty, and although there's that, so much happens with each character this season that we were all like, Whoa. All I can say is a lot happens to Joan."

Phosphorylated low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 is prevalent in hippocampal progenitor cells and circuits of aged human hippocampus

ABSTRACT: Wnt signaling has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, but no studies have described Wnt signaling in aging brain. Phosphorylation of the Wnt coreceptor, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (Lrp6), is a sensitive indicator of Wnt ligand-receptor interaction and canonical Wnt signaling. We report that in aged human temporal lobe, the phospho-Lrp6 (pLrp6) epitope localizes to neurons in the entorhinal cortex (EC), the dentate gyrus (DG), and the hippocampal formation, especially in the CA3 field. Activated Lrp6 is detected in neuronal soma and in neuronal processes, particularly in the mossy fiber terminals in the stratum lucidum of CA3. These three regions and their connectivity represent the afferent arm of the major hippocampal circuit. In the DG, cells positive for pLrp6 include Type 1 and Type 2 hippocampal progenitor cells. Overall, these data indicate regional Wnt receptor activation in the human hippocampus that is most prominent in the cells comprising the afferent arm of the major hippocampal circuit that is associated with learning and memory functions. These findings are consistent with data from rodent studies which suggest an important role for Wnts in adult neurogenesis in the human DG. We speculate that Wnt signaling may be an activity-dependent trophic influence in the hippocampus.

Inland Empire voters appear to be on track to keep local incumbents in the state Legislature, based on initial vote counts.
State Sen. Bill Emmerson and Assemblymen Tim Donnelly and Mike Morrell, all Republicans, appear to be on pace to remain in Sacramento. Democratic Assemblywoman Norma Torres also appears to be on a path to victory.
In a race for an open seat, Democrat Cheryl Brown has a big lead over Democrat Joe Baca Jr. in the contest for a Rialto-centered Assembly seat. As of the most recent tally, Brown leads by a 56 to 44 percent margin with 28 percent of precincts reported, according to the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters.
Brown and Baca Jr. both positioned themselves as moderate Democrats, and the former campaigned in part on her business experience. Brown is president of the company that publishes the Black Voice News.
"People want jobs, and they want to sustain small businesses that provide jobs in our community," she said at her campaign headquarters Tuesday night.

Emmerson held a 58 to 42 percent lead with 42 percent of precincts reporting, according to the California Secretary of State.

Republican incumbent Tim Donnelly had a commanding lead over Democratic challenger John Coffey in early returns. Donnelly leads 62 to 38 percent with 17 percent of precincts reporting.
Coffey ran as a labor-friendly Democrat willing to buck some of his party's positions. An educator who works with special needs students at Barstow Junior High School, Coffey supports consolidating California's numerous school districts to reduce administrative costs, creating a Bank of California and supporting environmental protections over solar energy projects in the Mojave Desert.
The 33rd Assembly District includes the Lake Arrowhead and Victor Valley areas as well as desert territory and beyond to the Nevada state line and the Colorado River.
Assembly District 40
Early returns gave Morrell the lead over Democratic challenger Russ Warner. Morrell led by a 52 to 48 percent margin with about 48 percent of precincts in.
Morrell said one of his plans for a new term would be to re-introduce a bill calling for the full state budget bill to be made public three days before the Legislature votes.
"We're going to go for that and decide to close that loop," he said.
Morrell ran on a platform of fiscal conservatism whereas Warner positioned himself as a business-friendly moderate Democrat.
Amethyst Huerta, financial manager for Warner's campaign, said early Wednesday that Warner expects to pull off a victory once the final vote is on the books.
"We're probably going to win this campaign," she said.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans hold a majority in the district. The 40th Assembly District ranges from Rancho Cucamonga to the Cajon Pass area and down through San Bernardino and into Redlands.
Assembly District 47
Brown, a former NAACP chapter leader, took the early lead over fellow Democrat Joe Baca Jr. in the race for this open seat.
Brown, president to the company that publishes the Black Voice News, in large part based her campaign on her business experience. Baca Jr., a high school teacher, Rialto councilman and former Assembly member, countered that his time in government would help him get things done in Sacramento.
Baca Jr. said he expected support from low-income voters to materialize in his favor while waiting an updated vote count. He also said a blitz of negative ads hurt his chances.
The 47th Assembly District is centered around Rialto and also includes communities in Fontana, San Bernardino, Colton and Grand Terrace.
