Moriel Philippines Latest Missions Report - June 2016
Grace and peace be multiply unto you from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Last month we brought our young children at Iba Zambales to attend the Young Peoples Fellowship.
We needed to rent a Van because the small Jeep coulden't accommodate these growing children. Kyla, Kintara, and Shane are first timer in attending the Fellowship.
Going home with joy and learned additional experience are appreciated blessings. Recently, we have conducted again the Moriel Give a Gift School bags and school supplies to complete the school needs of the dump children.
The children were so happy and their parents were glad and thankful. This encourage them to let their children come to School.
Moriel gifts are really a big help for them, it lessens the expenses of their family.
Thank you very much and to all our supporters for all the blessings.
We appreciate very much your generous heart.
May our Gracious God continue to bless you and the ministry.
Sincerely in Christ,
Ptr. Paul
Moriel Philippines Latest Report - June 2016
Ahab, Jezebel & Mohammed
The death of boxer Mohammed Ali (Cassius Clay) dwarfed the media coverage on the death of Queen Jezebel (Jan Crouch).
As we know, the instant he arrived in eternity the boxer wished he had never changed his name to Mohammed or embraced the racist variation of the Nation of Islam of Wallace Fard, Elijah B. Mohammed, or Malcom X (whom the former is said to have had murdered). The boxer knew immediately he had wasted his life pursuing a lie, that Islam is not true, and that he was not as he claimed "the Greatest". In the end he was a deceived loser who likely lost his soul for all eternity.
I take no delight in this. I would have preferred that he turned to Jesus before it was too late.
In a sickening parody of Ahab & Jezebel mimicking Jim and the late Tammy Bakker, Jan Crouch, the wife of the late Paul Crouch – whose financial and moral shenanigans were openly confronted even by members of her own family, gave up the ghost almost simultaneously with Mohammed Ali.
Paul Crouch was reported on the front pages of the LA Times daily three days consecutively for the $425,000 in hush money included in a legal settlement with secrecy clauses about charges of homosexuality. Jan was actually filmed, while Paul was alive and married to her, in an amorous embrace of an actor who played Jesus at their theme park in Orlando at night in the parking lot. Little of this mattered, however, to their die hard supporters and followers. Like the Bakkers, the Crouches were people who actually began right with integrity, honest motives, and a scriptural Gospel – only to become corrupted by religious pride, the love of money, and immorality. As with 'Jim & Tammy' the Crouches became vehicles of Satan to discredit the Body of Christ, distort the Gospel of Jesus into a financial con-job, and to propagate heresy and false prophecy among undiscerning believers of the type whom St. Paul described as "wanting to have their ears tickled" (2 Timothy 4:3) whose ranks would swell in the last days. TBN was transformed by Crouch into a platform to make the term "Born Again" a household joke.
To be sure, the PTL Club, proven false prophet and conniver Pat Robertson's CBN, and Howard Condor's Revelation TV were and are none better. TV was too powerful a medium God could use for good, so Satan needed to corrupt it and he found a willing agent in Jan Crouch.
As her late husband Paul on TV literally denounced doctrine (the teaching of Jesus) as "excrement", Jan exclaimed that those critical of the apostate doctrine, bogus prophecy and financial con artistry continually broadcast on TBN were "going straight to hell". In defiance of 1 Corinthians chapter 5 which forbids followers of Jesus from being associated with "so called brethren" who are swindlers, figures from Greg Laurie to Ed Hindson appeared regularly on TBN lending that mouthpiece of Satan an artificial credibility to merchandise its heretical wares.
New Testament guidelines for Christian women to adorn themselves modestly were jettisoned by Jan Crouch and Tammy Bakker and their clones in favor of cakes of makeup and cosmetics with laughable hair styles that caused the world to mock her as a whorish looking gaudy old hag.
Jan Crouch literally dressed and resembled the Whore of Babylon in Revelation chapters 17&18, thinking of herself in the same character: "I sit as a queen and no sorrow will overtake me" (Revelation 18:7). Well, like Tammy Bakker, Jan Crouch now understands – she was wrong.
From Paul White to Juanita Bynum to Hillsong's Bobbi Houston, to Cindy Jacobs and Gloria Copeland -and other such daughters of Queen Jezebel who backslidden churches tolerate (Revelation 2:20), we see in them the very nature of spiritual seduction incarnated. Like wicked Queen Athaliah they manipulate and connive. Yet in the end, the ultimate victims of their deception are always themselves.
I pronounce no judgments concerning these women. Yet I do know what God has already judged in His Word. Jan Crouch served Satan, not God.
European stage is set for Antichrist
Europe is being prepared for a one continent government with one leader: Antichrist.
The second most important prophetic development of the last century – after the rebirth of Israel – was the creation of The European Union which in major ways already runs its 28 nation states as one country.
The continent is in turmoil. The nations of the European Union – 28 countries from the United Kingdom to the Baltics - are facing an influx of immigrants unseen since the end of the Second World War. Hundreds were filmed attacking Hungarian border guards while screaming "allahu akbar" which in Arabic means "god is great".
I write "god" with a lower case "g". For the key point for those looking at the spiritual dimension of this invasion is that we do NOT all worship the same god. We detail this in our book Cults and Isms: True or False? which is stocked by this ministry. We would like to see a copy on every believer's bookshelf, as a way to quickly discern the difference between true and false faith.
Most of the current immigrants are Islamic, with up to 90 per cent being men aged around 25 to 35. So are they mainly coming to Europe to work, when Europe already has an average of eleven per cent of its workforce unemployed? Further, there is over 20 per cent unemployment of those under 25 across the EU. If the immigrants were really being attacked by terrorists, would they not wish to stay and defend their wives and children? When Hitler threatened to invade England, the men dug in and were ready to defend inch of British soil; they did not run away.
Couple this unwanted influx with major financial and political problems and you have the calls for drastic action – and the entry of a commanding figure to lead the continent out of its crisis. However, he will NOT be Islamic, despite the false prophetic interpretations being spread by those who misunderstand the book of Daniel.
This article describes the chaos engulfing the European Union, written with an eye on prophecy.
It looks like a tale of woe and is certainly not good news. However, the real good news is that when we see these things happening, the end times turmoil, we are to look up, for our redemption draweth nigh!
As the world hurtles headlong into the ultimate crisis, understand that all of this was predicted and it indicates the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. So be encouraged! The right understanding of prophetic events leads to the conclusion drawn by a dear old friend of ours who said this: "Alan and Pat, all these things mean our Lord will soon be back to rule and reign from Jerusalem." So we should adopt her attitude and pray: "Maranatha, come quickly Lord Jesus."
So let's look at the EU, future base of the Man of Sin. According to London-based TV news network Sky News, Germany alone expects one million refugees this year. Saudi Arabia, our alleged "ally", is coming to the rescue. Although refusing to take a single refugee or asylum seeker themselves, they are offering to build 200 mosques for their fellow religionists now flooding into Germany!
Mosques in the west have in the past been bases for extremist preaching and the spreading of their savage ideology. As I write this, Saudi Arabia has just sentenced a 74 year old English grandfather to 350 lashes for doing some home-brewing in a nation that bans alcohol (except when wealthy Saudis arrive in London and send for the whisky and call girls, of course).
Saudi Arabia doesn't permit any Jew to set foot in its territory, bans all Christian services and Bibles, yet is allowed to fund mosques around the world, including all over the USA and UK, many of them massive, lavish, structures towering over ancient church steeples in England, giving them a good vantage point to blast out the calls to prayer.
On an island off England's south coast is a Baptist church where I have spoken. Around the corner is Chapel Street. However, the picturesque old chapel that gave the street its name is now a mosque. Our nations are being transformed before our eyes at lightning speed.
This is from the Sky News report: "In a letter to party members, Germany's vice chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel, said other EU nations should take their fair share of refugees, and wanted a 'common European effort' to tackle the crisis." Alan's comment: Note the reference to the need for joint European action – the way things are fast traveling.
"With the Schengen system of border-free travel through much of the continent under increasing pressure, the European Commission is to outline plans to distribute 160,000 refugees across 22 EU member states over the next two years. Several countries are opposed to the quota policy."
That's putting it mildly! Poland has spoken against the planned quota scheme, with its Prime Minister, Ewa Kopacz, insisting: "We will accept only as many refugees as we can afford, not a single one more or less." This is the reaction of the average resident of The United Kingdom: You are talking about fundamental and permanent changes to the countries of Europe. Housing, schools, welfare and health services will all be overwhelmed.
The EU asylum laws give anyone allegedly at risk of 'serious harm by reasons of indiscriminate violence in situations of international or internal armed conflict' the right to admittance to the European Union. This means they stay permanently, as anyone touring the big cities of Great Britain can see from their car windows: in many areas the former local inhabitants are either a minority or long dispersed to outer suburbs.
When I speak at churches in the large cities of the United Kingdom I often hear the same story. It goes something like this: "Our family lived in (a big city) for decades. Islamics started to move in. They were all right at first, when there were just a few of them.
"The numbers increased and a redundant church was turned into a mosque. We were made increasingly unwelcome and eventually the area became dangerous for those of us who grew up in it. It was clear we had to move out."
One old man told me that he went back into the inner city area where he grew up. It was now Islamic. A group of aggressive Muslim youths came up – Islam is a very aggressive ideology. They surrounded the old man. He said to them:"That's the house where I grew up." Their response went something like this: "This is our town now and you'd better get out of it, old man."
Another man said Islamic young men started driving their cars at him when he crossed the street. Not quite hitting him, but not far off. He got the message and moved away. A woman said that in a supermarket a burka-clad woman barged ahead of her and snarled: This is our area now - you can clear off."
Now as a reporter for many years, then a chief reporter and editor, I know that people exaggerate. I like provable facts. This is first hand. In one Islamic area of a big English city, Pat and I were in our car when a crowd of Islamic youths in a van drove at us on the wrong side of the road. Yes, this in England today.
Don't expect gratitude.
- In Macedonia Muslim "refugees" refused Red Cross food parcels, as they were not "halal" (prepared in a way acceptable to muslims).
- In Germany Muslim illegal immigrants have refused donated food for reasons including it not being halal.
- In Hungary they were filmed hurling away food gifts – non halal – and even water bottles, the latter because Hungary refused to send them to the welfare haven country of their choice.
- Destroyed windows lie in front of a first registration center for refugees in Suhl, eastern Germany. One of the smashed signs has a heading in English, which looks almost satirical after what happened: "How to behave properly." Lesson clearly not learned….
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban was the first European leader to take decisive action after the flood of immigrants reached 10,000 a day into his small nation. He put up fences, which hordes of angry young men have been trying to storm ever since, starting fights with guards.
He said his nation, one of the newer members of the European Union, put up fences to 'protect our way of life' saying 'Hungary has had 1000 years of Christian culture. We Hungarians don't want the worldwide movement of people to change Hungary.'"
I saw one TV commentator describe this as "racism." This is the caliber of so-called commentators: they don't know the difference between race and religion!
The fence between Hungary and Croatia is an extension of one built along Hungary's border with non-EU member Serbia. It is designed to reduce the influx of people, now hitting 8,000 to 10,000 a day, many coming via Croatia in the hopes of reaching Western Europe.
Patriotic Dutch politician Geert Wilders called the refugees pushing into Europe an "Islamic invasion", during a September parliamentary debate. He commented: "… Masses of young men in their twenties with beards are singing Allahu Akbar across Europe. It's an invasion that threatens our prosperity, our security, our culture and identity."
Former Libyan leader Ghaddafi said: "Islam will take over Europe without violent force within a few decades. We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe – without swords, without guns, without conquests. The Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades."
The bulk of migrants seeking asylum in EU countries are not from Syria, despite media coverage suggesting otherwise. Only one-in-five appear to be fleeing the Syrian conflict.
Of 213,000 arrivals in the EU in the second quarter of 2015, 44,000 were from Syria. The second largest group – 27,000 – were from Afghanistan. Another 17,700 claims were made by Albanians, where there is no war or serious unrest. Meanwhile, 13,900 asylum seekers came from Iraq.
The figures have been compiled by Eurostat, the EU's number crunchers. They also show that migration from April-June was double the level for the same quarter last year.
So far this year, half a million migrants have arrived in Europe, 156,000 in August. They cross the Mediterranean and usually arrive in the south of the continent, with half landing in Greece and Italy, before trying to reach northern Europe, from Germany to Sweden. Others are causing havoc in the Channel Tunnel, where thousands sneak on to trains heading for the United Kingdom, hiding in the backs of trucks.
So what are all these vigorous young men going to do when they arrive in Europe? Few women travel with them. There have been a series of trials and ongoing investigations in major British cities of Islamic sex-grooming of often very young girls, while much the same has been reported in nations across Europe. French girls are often at risk in cities like Paris if caught out in the wrong clothes and in the wrong area.
The usual liberal media and bleeding hearts – the people whose views are paradoxically the opposite of Islamic fundamentalism - describe concerns about this as "Islamophobia" or racism, despite the fact that race and religion are unconnected. Many Muslims do want peace and a quiet life, but their religion contains exhortations to violence and at any time they can turn to those tenets.
The problem is that Europe is borderless. You can drive across Europe, as our son has done, without showing a passport until the Ukrainian border. So the mainly Islamic mass migration engulfing Europe means that the whole continent is affected. Once in any European country, you are free to move to others.
Already parts of major cities in Europe from Malmo in Sweden to Marseille in France have Muslim quarters where non Muslims are intimidated and driven out and the police and emergency services are afraid to enter. Much of the outer suburbs of Paris are like this.
A district of The Hague in Holland is run by unofficial Sharia law, while in Belgium radical Muslim leader Abu Islam heads a group called Sharia4Belgium. He says it is a matter of time before Muslims, with their high birth rate compared to the low birth rate of Europeans, are a majority in the country. At that point he hopes to impose Sharia law on Belgium.
Here is how the Daily Telegraph of London reported the tidal wave of Islamic immigration: "Britain and the rest of the European Union are ignoring a demographic time bomb: a recent rush into the EU by migrants, including millions of Muslims, will change the continent beyond recognition over the next two decades, and almost no policy-makers are talking about it.
"The numbers are startling. Only 3.2 per cent of Spain's population was foreign-born in 1998. In 2007 it was 13.4 per cent. Europe's Muslim population has more than doubled in the past 30 years and will have doubled again by this year (2015). In Brussels (main capital of the European Union), the top seven baby boys' names recently were Mohamed, Adam, Rayan, Ayoub, Mehdi, Amine and Hamza.
"Europe's low indigenous birth rate, coupled with faster multiplying migrants, will change fundamentally what we take to mean by European culture and society. The altered population mix has far-reaching implications for education, housing, welfare, labor, the arts and everything in between."
This is fundamental, fact-based reporting, of the type that is too rare. I wonder how many Germans know that the number of Muslims in the country is now nearly six million? Islam is the fastest growing religion in post-Christian Germany with many former church buildings converted into mosques, some of which are publicly sounding calls to prayer (the adhan) from outdoor loudspeaker systems.
A German document dated August 18th this year from a refugee center in Hessen (Germany) sounds the alarm about Muslim immigrants raping the women AND children. They clearly state that it is not incidental: it happens a lot. Women don't dare go to the bathroom at night and sleep in their day clothes.
In Germany a campaign called "A Koran in Every Home," is distributing 25 million copies of the Koran, in German, to every household. At the same time the media and the political establishment are attempting to silence critics of the rise of Islam in Germany, accusing them of hate speech.
Lebanese education minister Elias Bousaab told British Prime Minister David Cameron that two out of every 100 Syrian migrants into Europe are ISIL fighters. He said the extremist group is sending trained jihadists under cover to attack targets in the West. If true, thousands of jihadists could be entering Europe without passports, avoiding detection.
According to the US Migration Policy Institute, Muslims will account for more than 20 per cent of the EU population by 2050 and already do so in a number of cities. In Brussels, self-styled "capital of Europe", they number over 300,000.
If you just looked at news stories, and believed in a coming world leader called Antichrist, you might be deluded into thinking that an Islam-dominated Europe will produce such a man. This is not what will happen. The Bible clears the mind of error.
Scripture tells why we won't have an Islamic Antichrist. Daniel 9: 26 confirms the Antichrist's Roman origin. Verse 27 shows he will make a peace/protection treaty with Israel, which will signal the start of the Tribulation. Chapter 11:37 is interesting in that the NASB correctly translates it as stating Antichrist will show no regard for the gods – plural - of his fathers. That again proves he will not be Islamic. Islam has one (false) god - Allah.
1 John 2:22 says, "He is Antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son." While Islam states that God has no son, Muslims don't deny there is a God in heaven. And that is what this verse is portraying. See also 2 Thess. 2:4: The Antichrist "opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God, showing himself that he is God."
The Antichrist will not only deny the Son of God, he will claim worship himself, which would not be acceptable to any Islamic. Islam wants the world to accept Allah as the true god with Mohammed as his prophet.
The fact that he shows no regard for the desire of women indicates that he may be homosexual which, I suspect, is the reason for the worldwide move to promote homosexuality as just another "normal" lifestyle.
The reason I wrote my first book, EU: Final World Empire, was to wake people up to the fact that Antichrist will be based in the EU, which he will lead. The EU is the Revived Roman Empire, established at The Treaty of Rome, held at The Vatican in1957. It is a profoundly Catholic institution and all heads of it have been RC.
However, world religions are fast merging, with the Pope to the fore. Mary is being used to bring many Catholics and Muslims together and Mary-like beings, the "Mother of God," are found in all the main religions. This is, of course, a demonic spirit with many names in many religions, right back to Babylon, the fount of all false religion.
Despite this I do not see Islam as a major end times force and Psalm 83 indicates that the Arab nations around Israel will shortly be dealt with once they unite to attack Israel. Next comes the Ezekiel 38/9 Russian-led invasion which puts paid to the Russian Army plus all the outer ring of Islamic states.
Europe is where the power will be, as America, like the UK, is ripe for judgment, and will shortly be out of the picture - America is not in end times prophecy.
You are seeing prophecy fulfilled before your eyes here in Europe, happening at ever faster speed. The role of Europe as the future base of Antichrist is clearly set out in the book of Daniel as the late Dr. Noah Hutchings explains in his book: Daniel The Prophet. The EU has arisen out of the remnants of the old Roman Empire (see Daniel 2 and 7 and Revelation 13).
It takes a crisis to force actions that in normal times people wouldn't tolerate - like giving up their sovereignty, or what's left of it. One EU official even said, as a major problem emerged: "Never waste a good crisis." In most major respects Europe is already run as one nation, with common borders, laws, a court, parliament, a president and much else. The motto is: "Ever closer union."
Those who live under the 12-starred flag of Europe are mainly unaware that the stars are the stars of Mary, which indicates the EU's spiritual origin and base. Remember: the Revived Roman Empire is the world's last empire prior to our Lord's return.

Lawyers for a Harford County teenager charged with killing his father last year say they have evidence that two other juveniles were involved in the man's death.
At a hearing in Bel Air on Friday, lawyers for Robert C. Richardson III told Harford County Circuit Judge Stephen Waldron that they are seeking information on the two juveniles, including their criminal histories and school records.
The 17-year-old Richardson, who lived in Bel Air, is charged as an adult in the death of his father, Robert C. Richardson Jr., in January 2012. Police said the boy shot his father and left his body in a pond near his grandmother's home in Aberdeen. They also say he confessed to the killing.
The allegations that others were involved add a layer of complexity to a case that has attracted widespread interest. Charges laid out by police after the shooting have focused on Richardson alone, and attorneys in the case would say little about the role they believe the other juveniles played.
In court filings, Richardson's attorneys say the two juveniles discussed Friday are witnesses for the prosecution and have not been charged with any crime. The defense claims to have evidence that indicates the juveniles were involved in the elder Richardson's death "as co-defendants, and/or accessories after the fact."
"We have been told that both of them have extensive juvenile histories," as well as "serious drug and alcohol problems," public defender Stefanie McArdle told Waldron, who did not rule on the requests Friday.
The filing refers to the juveniles using only their first names and last initials. The Baltimore Sun does not generally identify people charged in the juvenile justice system.
Prosecutor Diane Adkins Tobin told the judge the state's attorney's office has no power to turn over juvenile records — which are confidential — or the juveniles' school records.
After the hearing, Tobin declined to comment on the defense's allegation that others were tied to the killing.
Both juveniles' homes were searched as part of the police investigation, according to filings by the defense.
The defense also had requested to know whether prosecutors offered immunity to juvenile witnesses or made any promises to them regarding the case. Tobin said they had not.
The case has attracted a number of supporters for Richardson. They contend he was mistreated by his father and say it is unjust for the teen to be tried as an adult. A group of about 20 people rallied before the hearing, as they have for Richardson's previous court appearances.
Some members of Richardson's family have denied that he was abused.
In court filings, McArdle and Richardson's other lawyer, Kay Beehler, have challenged the constitutionality of a Maryland law that requires 16- and 17-year-olds who are charged with first-degree murder to be tried as adults.
On Friday, they said they would also ask to have Richardson transferred to a juvenile detention center. He is being held at the Harford County Detention Center.

Nov. 11 is the day set aside to give much-deserved recognition to those who gave their lives in service for our country.
Veterans Day was established for that very purpose in 1918. That date coincides with the ending of World War I, also known as the Armistice, which was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Celebrations across the nation include laying of wreaths at memorials throughout Washington, D.C., and festivities and parades in towns across America. Veterans of all wars will also be recognized for their service.

There are 2 Ruth's in my family, and I have been told that I was named after each, depending on who is telling the story!
My great-grandmother on my Dad's side was Ruth (Carroll) Carr (1890-1965). I don't remember her at all, although I'm sure that I met her when I was a small child.
My second-cousin-once-removed from my Mom's side (although much closer in the actual dynamics of my family) is Ruth Ann (Starr) Brown (1927- ).
Ruth Ann is a very talented artist and her house was always one of my favorite places to visit as a child, even though the Browns lived in Los Angeles at the time.
Unique or unusual names in my tree? How about:
- Mary Tennessee
- Charley Belle
- Serena Jane
- Trilla Maryland
- Zora Belle
I just love these old-fashioned names! If I was doing genealogy before my daughters were born, they'd probably have disowned me by now… 🙂

Stanczyk's direct paternal lineage goes through Pacanow, SwietoKrzyskie, Poland [powiat Buski, gmina Pacanow]. Today there numbers about 1275 people [source: mapa.szukaj.pl ]. Its parish, located in Pacanow is Sw. Marcin. The church has been honored as a basilica, by the Vatican. This region has been part of a few wojewodztwa, In the LDS Microfilm its located under Kielce wojewodztwo/gubernia with its records 1875-1905 written in Russian that means it was last in the Russian partition of Poland. Its records from the AP can be found online at GenBaza:
So we have: C. Michael Eliasz-Solomon->Chester S. Eliasz->Joseph Eliasz->Jozef Elijasz->Marcin Eliasz (b. about 1819). So this blogger's great-great-grandfather is Marcin Eliasz (aka Elijasz) born about 1819, as deduced from his death record in 1879 Pacanow [Akt #60]. So 1819 (or probably a bit earlier than that) is the oldest known direct ancestor from Pacanow. There are a few other lines that go back that far but they are not my direct line, nor even properly connected to our branch.
But recently while going through Swiniary parish, nearby to Pacanow, I found a marriage record from 1797 ! The groom was Jakob Eliasz age 40, from Pacanow (and House #1 too). Jakob was a widower. His age of 40 implies a birth year of about 1757. The birthplace is unknown for certain but it could have been Pacanow. His bride was Zuzanna Paszenska age 23, a maiden (her 1st marriage) and she lived in Oblekon village in Swiniary parish. The two witnesses were Franciszek Zyglicki [an affiliated family name] and the Economa of Huta Oblekon, Grzegorz Ciescelski. Ok, I cannot say with certainty that Jakob was in Pacanow from 1757, but DEFINITELY he lived in house #1 of Pacanow in 1797 as a widower.
1797 Context
During these days (Jakub & Zuzanna), the history of Pacanow, it was after the third partition of Poland in January 1796. From every pulpit announced these areas were a part of the Austrian Emperor, Franz II 's empire. In this way Pacanow became part of the district of Stopnica [source: http://pacanow.pl/page.php?kat=2&main=2&id=2 ].
Later, Pacanow was a part of the Duchy of Warsaw during Napoleon's era until June 1815. Afterwards, the Congress of Vienna ceded the area to become part of the Polish Kingdom (aka Congress Poland) and part of the Russian Empire.
Earliest History
Pacanów was first mentioned in a church document from 1110 – 1117, issued by the Bishop of Kraków Maur, in which construction of St. Martin church was confirmed. At that time, the village probably belonged to a man named Siemian, who was also mentioned in the document. The existence of the parish church was confirmed on August 1219 by Bishop of Kraków Iwo Odrowąż .
In 1265, the village was granted Magdeburg rights by Prince Bolesław V, the Chaste. In the same period, a number of other local villages were also granted town charters (Połaniec, Nowy Korczyn, Koprzywnica and Opatowiec). The original charter of Pacanów has not been preserved, but in a document issued on February 26, 1603, King Zygmunt III Waza stated that Pacanow had been incorporated as a town in 1265.
Jakub & Zuzanna Eliasz
Past experience has shown that house #1 is usually the nearest to the church and sometimes denotes a person of some means. So perhaps 40 years old Jakob was a "catch" for the 23 year old Zuzanna. Perhaps my direct lineage run through Jakob and Zuzanna. But, what is certain is they are earliest documented ELIASZ [Eliaszow] in Pacanow. Now can I find some distant cousin who is descended from Jakob & Zuzanna?

Many people welcomed the snow dumped recently in Marion County, but not so welcome was the task of cleaning off sidewalks, driveways, and even rooftops in some cases.
"My wife wanted me to clear a path to our mailbox, but when the snow plow comes through it just sends it flying back up in here," said Bob Woelk of Hillsboro on Saturday.
Woelk spent several hours shoveling his sidewalk and carport area but was concerned about the weight of snow on his house roof.
Woelk, a physically fit marathon runner, did not experience health problems while removing snow, but others are not always so lucky.
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says the most common injuries associated with snow removal include sprains and strains, particularly in the back and shoulders.
To avoid snow removal injuries a warm-up period such as that for strenuous exercise is necessary. Proper body mechanics and an even pace of work also can help prevent snow removal injuries.

Alan Mendelevich from AdDuplex, the cross-platform advertising network for developers, has been analysing data collected through the company's advertising API and has noticed some anomalies that could well be yet-to-be-announced Nokia hardware. So what could we be seeing at this coming Mobile World Congress?
Mendelevich first unveils a Nokia RM-860 on Verizon, which sports a HD screen and could well be a Lumia 920 (or similar) Windows Phone. The Lumia 920T has the codename RM-867, leaving little room for a new device to be announced. The Lumia 720 showed up as sporting a standard WVGA display - check out some leaked images of the device.
What's also interesting to note is a Nokia RX-108 Windows 8 PC (or tablet), which would please consumers who still wait for a Nokia tablet to be announced by the manufacturer. It'll be no surprise if Nokia does show off a Windows tablet at MWC, especially with the previous coverage we've given rumours and speculation.
Lastly, a Nokia RM-892 was spotted in India.
So what does this mean for consumers with Mobile World Congress just around the corner? We could well be looking at a Windows Phone for Verizon, packing a high-definition display - possibly a variant of the Lumia 920. The find also pours more fuel on the Nokia tablet fire, with evidence pointing at the company at least testing out such a product.
What are our predictions? Nokia appears to have many tricks up its sleeve, and with MWC pinned as the event where the company will look to unveil advances in technology, as well as new hardware that's yet to hit the market we could well be looking at a busy conference. Windows Phone Central will be on the floor in Barcelona to bring the latest headlines and hands-on footage of all devices on show, so be sure to monitor this space.

Ohio Lakes and Reservoirs Customized Topo Maps and Aerial Photos
Outdoor Gear and Clothing
Ohio's more than 2,500 lakes are larger than 2 acres with 20 of them being natural bodies formed by glaciers. The man-made lakes includes those from the early 1800s created to feed water into canals between Lake Erie and the Ohio River, while many others were a direct result of the Flood Control Act from the early 1900s.
- Ohio is blessed with many sparkling blue waters for a spectacular array of outdoor recreation opportunities. Lake Erie dominates the northern area of the state offering access to the fourth largest of the Great Lakes. Lying 569 feet above sea level, fishing and boating opportunities abound. Many public campgrounds and picnic grounds rest on the Lake Erie shore.
Boaters of all types can be found on Ohio's various waters. Sailboats, cruisers, pontoons, kayaks, canoes and personal watercraft units stretch from Lake Erie to the state's many interior lakes and rivers, and down to Ohio's southern boundary, Ohio River. Anglers take full advantage of the easy and quick access. As they slip into thousands of tree-lined quiet coves, speed boaters zoom along the lakes' expanse. Canoes and kayaks glide effortlessly in the shadows of huge lakes such as Berlin Lake, Seneca Lake, C.J. Brown Reservoir, and Grand Lake St. Marys. Night boating is also popular, especially at Alum Creek where anglers creep along search in of catfish. Whitewater enthusiasts find enjoyment at Paint Creek Lake during their seasonal release. Tourists in search small-scale thrills may enjoy dining at the Tappan Lake marina restaurant, which overlooks the lake. In summer, canoeists flock to the Mohicanville Dam area in search of leisurely floats down one of Ohio's most popular canoe paths. Paddlers should note that water levels range from Class I to Class IV depending on flood conditions. Ice fishing is another popular pursuit, particularly in the Northeast Travel Region.
Like much of the nation, bird watching is a growing sport in Ohio. The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge offers lakeside-viewing blinds. Many inland lakes and streams serve as feeding, nesting and resting ground for resident and migratory birdlife.
Recreation - The lakes and rivers of Ohio offer the full range of water-based activities. Some of the most popular activities include fishing, boating, waterskiing, sailing, windsurfing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and scuba diving. The shores often offer camping and picnicking opportunities. In addition, the wildlife in Ohio is good. Many resident and migratory bird species are found in large numbers among the various bodies of water, especially Lake Erie.
Recreation facilities on Ohio's public lakes are managed by several different authorities including the U.S. Corps of Engineers, The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District.
Climate - This state has four distinct seasons and a brilliant fall foliage display in it southern woods during mid October. Winter lasts from December through February with average temperatures near 25 degrees F. Low temperatures dip to single digits, but do not often drop below zero. Northern regions of the state receive average snowfall amounts of 55 inches, while the central and southern regions of the state receive lesser amounts with averages near 30 inches. This difference is caused by lake-affect moisture patterns.
Spring temperatures begin to warm the landscapes of Ohio by mid March and are in full swing by April. Temperatures range from 40 through 70 degrees F through the spring months. This season often brings the most rainfall, before the drying heat of summer. Summer can be extremely hot and humid in the interior of Ohio. Temperatures reach above 90 degrees F frequently through July and August. Cooler fall temperatures don't reach the region until mid to late September. This is a pleasant time to visit as the air is crisp with low humidity levels. Ohio's annual precipitation usually reaches slightly above 50 inches.
Location -
Lakes and rivers are located throughout the state of Ohio. Ohio's northern border rests on the shores of Lake Erie.

English is an amazing Language. It's made great my it's ready introduction of words from anywhere. For the greatest part, other European Languages.
For Native English speakers to learn other languages can be the most enlightening and broadening of experiences. Filling up a world of Historical knowledge along the way. The history explains the seeming silliness of some English words. Take the word "Sound" I think in English it has 5?? possible meanings, all of which occurred through different language groups arriving in what is now the UK & Ireland and the words accepted into common vocabulary often giving name to some slight variance of the same theme. This taking on of other origin words I feel has probably created the subtleties that can be acheived in English speech, poetry and writing.
Language though is a great aid in the study of our Origins. Some of the books on the origins of modern languages provide fascinating clues as to our origins. Their study along with the recent DNA revelations are going to increasingly continue to zero in on our beginnings and travels as a relatively new and extraordinary species on this Earth of ours.

Men's hockey: Top seed, title
Sunday, March 10, 2013
A precedent-setting men's Husky Hockey team returns to the National Hockey & Event Center (NHEC) this weekend with gifts for its fans.
A March 8-9 series split with University of Wisconsin earned the Huskies (18-9-1) the top seed in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) playoffs. The Huskies play University of Alaska-Anchorage in a best-of-three series March 15-17 at the NHEC.
Game times are set for 7:37 p.m. Friday and 7:07 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Purchase $12 tickets at scsutickets.com.
Friday's 4-2 win in Madison secured a share of the WCHA title and its 100-year-old silver trophy, the MacNaughton Cup. The 2012-13 team is the first in school history to earn a WCHA title and No.1 WCHA seed. Read Friday's scsuhuskies.com game story.
The cup will be on display in the south concourse of the NHEC. A formal cup presentation will follow the final game of the playoff series.
Despite a 3-2 loss Saturday, the Huskies end the regular season with a league-leading 18 wins, two more than co-champion and second-seed, University of Minnesota (16-7-5), which had fewer losses and more ties. Read Saturday's scsuhuskies.com game story.
The top seed will pay dividends if the Huskies advance to the WCHA Final Five March 21-23 in St. Paul. Coach Bob Motzko's team would not play in the March 21 quarterfinal, known colloquially as the "play-in game," making the path to the March 23 championship game shorter, less exhausting. View the Red Baron WCHA Final Five fan guide (PDF).
The Huskies last played in the Final Five in 2010, beating Wisconsin 2-0 and losing in the championship game 5-3 to University of North Dakota.
St. Cloud State won the Final Five in 2001. A team lead by coach Craig Dahl, forward Brandon Sampair, All-American goalie Scott Meyer, junior defenseman Duvie Westcott, junior forward Mark Hartigan and Final Five MVP Tyler Arnason defeated North Dakota 6-5 in overtime.
Simultaneous with its WCHA playoff run, the Huskies will be eyeing the PairWise Rankings, a statistical poll which mimics the method used by the NCAA Selection Committee to determine 16 participants for the NCAA Division I Men's Hockey Tournament. The tournament culminates with Frozen Four national championship April 11 and April 13 in Pittsburgh.

Preparing for Climate Change through Energy Internet and eVehicles
Bill St. Arnaud [1]:
"Governments around the world are wrestling with the challenge of how to prepare society for inevitable climate change. To date most people have been focused on how to reduce Green House Gas emissions, but now there is growing recognition that regardless of what we do to mitigate against climate change the planet is going to be significantly warmer in the coming years with all the attendant problems of more frequent droughts, flooding, sever storms, etc. As such we need to invest in solutions that provide a more robust and resilient infrastructure to withstand this environmental onslaught especially for our electrical and telecommunications systems.
Linking renewable energy with high speed Internet using fiber to the home combined with eVehicles and dynamic charging where vehicle's batteries are charged as it travels along the road, may provide for a whole new "energy Internet" infrastructure for linking small distributed renewable energy sources to users that is far more robust and resilient to survive climate change than today's centralized command and control infrastructure."

Meograph offers a nice way to create narrated map-based and timeline-based stories. Much of what Meograph offers can be accomplished in Google Earth. However, Meograph is browser-based so that students can create stories even if they cannot install Google Earth on their computers.
Dipity is a great timeline creation tool that allows users to incorporate text, images, and videos into each entry on their timeline. Like most good web tools, Dipity has a collaboration option and has multiple options for sharing your timelines publicly or privately. Each entry to a Dipity timeline can include multiple types of media which allows users to add more detail and information than can be included in a traditional timeline. If you want to import Tweets and other social media messages, you can do that too on Dipity. Dipity will work on your iPad.
myHistro is a timeline builder and map creation tool rolled into one nice package. On myHistro you can build a personal timeline or build a timeline about a theme or event in history. Each event that you place on your timeline can be geolocated using Google Maps. myHistro timelines can be created online or you can use the free iPad app to create events on your timeline.
TimeGlider offers some nicer layout features compared to XTimeline, but is not quite as intuitive to use as XTimeline. The layout features that I like about TimeGlider is the ability to stagger or indent events below each other in a sequence. TimeGlider also makes it easy to display the relative importance of an event by increasing its size in comparison to other events on the timeline. Like XTimeline, TimeGlider accepts dates in A.D./B.C. format.
Time Toast is easy to learn to use. To add events to a timeline simply click on the inconspicuous "add an event" button and a simple event box pops up in which you can enter enter text, place a link, or add a picture. Time Toast does not have the more advanced editing options that XTimeline and TimeGlider offer. What it offers instead is ease of use which makes it a suitable choice for students in elementary school or middle school.

Rock star David Bowie has died after suffering cancer for 18 months.
The singer died surrounded by his loved ones, a statement on his Facebook page said.
It read: "David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer.
"While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief."
His son, film director Duncan Jones, tweeted: "Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all."
Bowie released his latest album, Blackstar, just three days ago, and his ex-wife, Angie Bowie, is currently a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother.
The 69-year-old's death was confirmed by his agent, Steve Martin.
Bowie made a surprise comeback in 2013 when he suddenly released a new single on his 66th birthday with an album out just weeks later, his first for 10 years.
The star made a habit of confounding the critics - killing off his most famous creation, Ziggy Stardust, at the height of his fame - and reinventing himself in roles including glam rocker, soul singer and hippie songwriter.
Bowie, born David Jones in post-war Brixton, south London, kicked off his music career in the R&B boom of the early Sixties.
In 1969 he made his first appearance in the charts with Space Oddity.
A string of albums followed, before 1972's The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars made him an international star.
The 1980s saw him combine his pop career with appearances in films including Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence and Absolute Beginners.
Following the news of the singer's death, many stars took to social media to pay tribute.
Comedian and actor Ricky Gervais, who convinced his long-time idol to star as himself - and ridicule Gervais - in an episode of 2006 sitcom Extras, wrote simply: "I just lost a hero. RIP David Bowie."
David Cameron also took to Twitter to pay tribute to the performer who was best known for hits such as Changes, Life On Mars? and Ashes To Ashes.
The Prime Minister wrote: "I grew up listening to and watching the pop genius David Bowie. He was a master of re-invention, who kept getting it right. A huge loss."
Blackstar, released on the singer's birthday, was the first of Bowie's records not to feature a picture of him on the album cover.
The third track, Lazarus, starts with the lyrics: "Look up here, I'm in heaven, I've got scars that can't be seen, I've got drama, can't be stolen, everybody knows me now."
Bowie married supermodel Iman in 1992 and the pair went on to have a daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones.
Duncan Jones, his son from his first marriage, was his best man at the wedding.

About TPC and TPC-C
The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) is a non-profit corporation founded to define transaction processing and database benchmarks and to disseminate objective and verifiable performance data to the industry.
Often referred to as the flagship server benchmark that measures online transaction processing performance, TPC-C simulates a complete compute environment where a population of users runs transactions against a database. TPC-C is not limited to the activity of any particular business segment, but rather represents any industry that must manage, sell, or distribute a product or service. The primary metrics are the transactions per minute (expressed as tpmC) and the associated price per transaction (expressed as $/tpmC).

Thats amazing. It always pleasing to see innovative products under the brand name of Cisco. This UCS C240 M3 Rack Server will surely help enterprises run heavy Apps on their servers easily. I would love to see more speed and upgraded specifications in the upcoming versions of Cisco server Solutions.
Congratulations to Cisco. You people are working hard to get the best results with efficient processors. It would have taken tremendous effort to beat IBM. Hope to see some more efficient applications like UCS c240 M3 Rack Server.

Brett Favre Had "Thousands" Of Concussions During His Career
Brett Favre is one of the toughest players to ever play in the National Football League. He played through serious injuries and gutted out amazing performances while sick en route to an NFL record 297 consecutive starts. But, all of that took a toll on his body and now he is worried about the effects of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) as he grows older and leaves the pigskin behind.
The Hall of Fame quarterback spoke with NBC's Megyn Kelly about his playing days and the number of hits he took during his 20-year career. Since retiring Favre has become an advocate for concussion research and has learned more about the dangers of taking shots to the head on a regular basis.
"But as we're learning about concussions," he told Kelly, "there's a term we use in football and maybe other sports, that I got 'dinged.' When you have ringing of the ears, seeing stars, that is a concussion.
Using that baseline for a diagnosing a concussion, Favre speculated he had more than the "three or four" he was diagnosed with during his playing days.
"If that's a concussion, then I've had hundreds, probably thousands, throughout my career, which is frightening."
He explained that when he was growing up concussions were not considered a big deal and that if you got "a little head ding" you were expected to go back out and play or risk being labeled a "sissy."
"I grew up playing football. My dad was the coach, he was tough on me, he was a hard-nosed, just in-your-face-type of guy, and he didn't know what concussions were about. We knew basically what a concussion was, but the thought process in those days was you would never come out of a game or practice because you had a little head ding. You would be considered, for lack of a better term, a sissy.
Favre said he would not encourage younger kids to play football because of the potential damage it does to their brains.
"The brain and just the skull itself, for (8- to 15-year-olds), and maybe even older, is not developed enough and they should not be playing tackle football," Favre said. "We should protect them, especially when there is no treatment solution out there."

Spencer Long had his senior season cut short after suffering a knee injury at Purdue in mid-October. Long underwent subsequent surgery and was lost for the season, but not before he left an impressive mark during his Nebraska career.
Despite missing half of the season, the senior captain continued to impact the 2013 Huskers. Long continued to provide leadership to his fellow offensive linemen, while making his mark off the field.
Long earned first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors to help continue the Huskers' tradition of academic success. He was joined on the academic All-America team by his brother, Jake, a second-team honoree. The Long brothers became the third set of brothers in Nebraska history to both earn academic All-America awards, and the first to do so in the same season.
Long was also one of 16 football student-athletes to earn the prestigious National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Awards, presented in New York City in early December. The award carried an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship, which Long intends to put toward medical school.
Originally a walk-on, Long was placed on scholarship before his junior season and earned second-team All-America honors in 2012. He was a leading contender for first-team All-America honors before his injury in 2013.
Long earned his degree in biological sciences/pre-medicine in December and was one of 19 seniors participating the bowl game as a graduate. He also earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for the third consecutive season.

Long played in and started the first six games at right guard, before suffering a knee injury at Purdue. With Long in the lineup, Nebraska rushed for better than 250 yards in six of seven games, and averaged 284.8 rushing yards and 42.7 points per game.
2012 (Junior)
Long started every game at right guard for the second straight season. His play helped pave the way for a Nebraska offense that led the Big Ten in both rushing offense and total offense. Nebraska posted its best rushing average since 2002, as sophomore I-back Ameer Abdullah racked up 1,137 rushing yards and quarterback Taylor Martinez added 1,019 yards. Overall, Nebraska had 16 individual 100-yard rushing performances this season.
The Nebraska offense gained better than 430 yards in 12 of 14 games and rushed for at least 250 yards eight times in 2012.
2011 (Sophomore)
Long was one of three Husker offensive linemen to start every game in 2011, and his play helped Nebraska rank 15th nationally in rushing offense at 217.2 yards per game. The Huskers topped 200 rushing yards seven times in 2011, including a trio of 300-yard games on the ground (Washington, Wyoming, and a season-high 346 yards at Minnesota).
The offensive line also played a key role in wearing down the Ohio State defense in a school-record comeback win. The Huskers rushed for 232 yards and had 423 yards of total offense against the Buckeyes, including 195 second-half rushing yards.
The work of Long and the offensive line allowed junior I-back Rex Burkhead to post 1,357 yards on the ground during the 2011 season.
2010 (Redshirt Freshman)
Long added depth in the offensive line, but did not appear in a game.
2009 (Redshirt)
A walk-on, Long redshirted in his first year at Nebraska.
Before Nebraska (Elkhorn HS)
Long came to Nebraska from long-time prep powerhouse Elkhorn High School, where he helped the Antlers to a 7-3 record in their first season of Class A participation in 2008. Long had a strong performance as a defensive end, and was an honorable-mention all-area selection for Coach Mark Wortman. Long was also a member of the Antlers' 2008 state championship baseball team.
Spencer is the son of Doug and Ann Long, and was born on Nov. 8, 1990. A biological sciences major, Spencer has been named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll each of the last four semesters, after earning spots on the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll each of his first four semesters. Long has volunteered his time with local hospital and school visits.

Dangerous Ruling: EU Says Google Must Help People Disappear Stuff They Don't Like From The Internet
from the right-to-be-forgotten deptFor years now we've explained why Europe's concept of a "right to be forgotten" is a terrible, dangerous and impossible idea. The basic idea is that if you were involved in something that you're not happy about later, you can demand that the incident be stricken from the record... everywhere. It's a clear attack on free speech -- allowing people to censor others from saying truthful and accurate things about someone.
However, Europe continued to push forward with it, even after a report noted that such a rule was technically impossible. Of course, once it was put into an EU directive, someone sued Google, in an effort to have an embarrassing moment from their past deleted. Mario Costeja Gonzalez sued Google, claiming that a search on his name turned up information on him being forced to sell some land in the 90s to cover some debts, and that since the matter was settled, he wanted it deleted.
We were encouraged, last summer, to see EU Court of Justice Advocate General Niilo Jaaskinen tell the court that there is no such right under the European data and privacy directive, and that Google shouldn't be responsible for what it finds. Quite frequently, the EU Court of Justice listens to its Advocate General. Today, however, it chose not to, and issued an all around horrible ruling, in which it claims that Google is in fact responsible for making stuff disappear from the internet, even if that information is accurate. From the ruling:
Article 12(b) and subparagraph (a) of the first paragraph of Article 14 of Directive 95/46 are to be interpreted as meaning that, in order to comply with the rights laid down in those provisions and in so far as the conditions laid down by those provisions are in fact satisfied, the operator of a search engine is obliged to remove from the list of results displayed following a search made on the basis of a person's name links to web pages, published by third parties and containing information relating to that person, also in a case where that name or information is not erased beforehand or simultaneously from those web pages, and even, as the case may be, when its publication in itself on those pages is lawful.Got that? Not only must search engines take down any links to such information posted by third parties, the interest of the person who is embarrassed by past actions has his or her rights override the "interest of the general public" in having access to that information.
Article 12(b) and subparagraph (a) of the first paragraph of Article 14 of Directive 95/46 are to be interpreted as meaning that, when appraising the conditions for the application of those provisions, it should inter alia be examined whether the data subject has a right that the information in question relating to him personally should, at this point in time, no longer be linked to his name by a list of results displayed following a search made on the basis of his name, without it being necessary in order to find such a right that the inclusion of the information in question in that list causes prejudice to the data subject. As the data subject may, in the light of his fundamental rights under Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter, request that the information in question no longer be made available to the general public on account of its inclusion in such a list of results, those rights override, as a rule, not only the economic interest of the operator of the search engine but also the interest of the general public in having access to that information upon a search relating to the data subject's name.
While some European officials, such as Viviane Reding, claim this is a "victory for the protection of personal data of Europeans", that's not true. This is nothing more than a censorship law which will be wildly abused. As The Guardian's James Ball explains, this creates an impossible quagmire for basically any internet company:
This creates a real quagmire for any company offering up information online: after how long does a bankruptcy ruling become something that should be private? Is that different if the subject is a celebrity or a politician? What if they offered the information voluntarily (or sold their story) in the first place? How about drug use, or prostitution, or murder? What if a person stands for public office a few years after having their search records scrubbed?He further notes how this ruling will have dreadful consequences for both free speech and the tech industry in Europe.
If nothing else, deciding such issues on a case-by-case basis will require huge teams of compliance staff in every tech company (and probably most media companies), and will tie up courts on the limits of each provision for years to come.
The result is either an eerie parallel with China's domestic censorship of search results, or a huge incentive for tech investment to get the hell out of Europe. Neither, presumably, is a remotely desirable result.Either way, while we respect the Europeans' interest in protecting privacy, there are ways to protect privacy that do not come with a full out attack on free speech. You don't protect privacy by creating a broad censorship rule, but that's what the EU has done today.

Ray Rice's amazing 29-yard catch-and-run on fourth down-and-29 and the Ravens' eventual 16-13 overtime win against the San Diego Chargers Sunday overshadowed a few miscues such as the offense's ineptness in the first half, the unit's inability to create a consistent pocket for quarterback Joe Flacco and some inopportune penalties.
Another gaffe that didn't end up hurting the Ravens was the ill-fated decision to go for it on fourth down-and-1 on the Chargers' 14-yard line with 34 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Rookie running back Bernard Pierce was stuffed for no gain and instead of having rookie kicker Justin Tucker attempt a 32-yard field goal to make the score 13-6, the team still trailed San Diego by 10 points.
Hindsight being 20/20, coach John Harbaugh sounded as if he had no regrets about trying to get the first down.
"The thing that made me want to go for it was, I thought we'd get it," Harbaugh said Monday during his weekly news conference. "We knew we had to kick a field goal, and we knew we had to score a touchdown. We knew we needed two scores if a field goal was going to be part of it, and we knew that that was going to be the case. If it had been more than fourth-and-a-foot – and it was really six inches – I probably would have kicked the field right there and get the one score under our belt. The fact that it was six inches, we all felt real strongly that we were going to get that done. My personal philosophy as a coach is you give your guys a chance to make plays. They won't always make the play, but you can't run scared. I trust our players, and I think most of the time, the vast majority of the time, our guys will come through and make those plays, and that's pretty good evidence when you look at the rest of the game. So I'll continue to trust our guys."
Harbaugh also said that Flacco had a number of options that he could have gone with at the line of scrimmage.
"He had certain options in there, and he made a decision to go with that play because it was a called play within the choices that he had," Harbaugh said. "They did a great job of moving a guy and beating us on the backside and defending it. There were other options he had there. Sure, he could have gone with them, but you can second guess that all day long. It's part of our offense, and it's what we want to continue to be. We call and run plenty of stuff, but you can't just be a call-and-run-it offense 100 percent of the time in this league and not beat your head against the wall. So I think that's how we need to play, especially with a veteran quarterback who knows what he is doing."
Finally, Harbaugh addressed the decision to have Pierce – instead of Rice – take the handoff on that critical fourth down.
"We [were] rotating both those guys in," Harbaugh said. "I like Bernard Pierce. Bernard Pierce is a really good player. We're not going to shy away from Bernard Pierce carrying the ball. I'd like to see him carry the ball more and more. I think those two guys complement each other really well. The better Bernard gets, the more he is going to play. [He is a] powerful, explosive, hard-running guy. He is a good choice for that."

Tell us about your current career position.I am an Assistant Medical Professor at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at City College of New York. My research on genetic mechanisms of wound repair in the model system Drosophila is supported by the Research Centers at Minority Institutions (RCMI), a grant from the NIH – NIMHD and NCRR. My teaching responsibilities include courses in Microbiology for B.S., M.D., and Physician Assistant programs.
What are the key experiences and decisions you made that have helped you reach your current position?My postdoctoral training in the Institutional Research and Career Development Award (IRACDA), a unique program sponsored by NIH – NIGMS, was instrumental to cultivate my skills in research and teaching. In addition, attending scientific conferences and professional development workshops helped expand my network of mentors and provided a supportive community. Exposure to a broad range of professionals with unique career paths was helpful for me to establish my own plan and build the confidence necessary to begin my research career.
How did you first become interested in science?Throughout my life, tactile learning methods and problem solving helped me understand my courses. My learning style was most constructive in Quantitative subjects. During my undergraduate studies, I was on track to double major in Mathematics and Biology. However, I was more interested in my science classes because several professors used their specific research topics to introduce concepts in the lecture and lab courses.
Were there times when you failed at something you felt was critical to your path? If so, how did you regroup and get back on track?I have faced academic challenges several times during my career. Failing an exam or a course was not the end of my scientific career; it gave me perspective on my strengths and weaknesses. It is tough in a community of perfectionists to admit you are not #1 and ask for help. But every time I faced a set-back, I maintained my focus and kept my eyes on the prize. My strategy for success combines unrelenting persistence with problem solving skills.
What advice would you give to young persons from under-represented backgrounds who want to pursue a career in science similar to yours?It is tough to enter a major that none of your friends are pursuing, but finding a topic that provides you with interesting questions can introduce you to a new world of friends. It is lonely to leave your family and enter the isolated world of graduate school, but it is also exciting to be given access to the larger scientific community. Learning how to deal with all situations (the good, the bad, and the ugly) will enable you to build strength beyond your imagination. If you learn from your mistakes then your future will maintain a positive course.
What are your hobbies?Walking - give me a liter of water and a good pair of shoes, I will climb any mountain or descend any canyon. My new home in Manhattan provides a few challenges to my treks, but I am learning to avoid the traffic.
What was the last book you read?Black Apollo of Science: The Life of Ernest Everett Just by Kenneth R. Manning. Learning more about the paths of great scientists helps me appreciate all the opportunities I have been given throughout my career. Understanding the historical context of research and education in America provides an important perspective from which to continue improving the path for future generations.
Do you have any heroes, heroines, or role models? If so, describe how they have influenced you?My first scientific role model was my high school Biology teacher. Her enthusiasm for science opened my eyes to the Scientific Method. She brought a special energy into her classroom and I appreciated her dedication to teaching. Her specific advice about college and the problems I would face in a large university helped me succeed in a challenging environment.
What is it that keeps you working hard and studying science every day?My goal continues to be breaking down complex biological problems into basic questions of gene regulation. I think of my experiments as pieces of a large puzzle, and I have to use logic to determine how the pieces fit together. My job as a scientist is a product of the many years of training and support from countless people. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to work in a profession which fosters a sense of discovery in students and provides them tools for success in their future career.

I'm back this week with the show's first-ever double feature. In the first segment, I chat with Lori and Corey Cole about their Hero-U kickstarter. Then I switch to Dave Marsh, to chat about his Shadowgate kickstarter. I know people might be getting "Kickstarter Fatigue" at this point, but I think you'll agree that both of these projects are well worth your money.

Chapter 12
Jan 12, 2010
Then Father Time
won't you do your best
To mend
A broken heart
Excerpt from my journal:
October 5, 2004
I, Monica Danielle Butler, at 27 years old, married Serge Christopher Bielanko yesterday at 5:30 in the evening. Nobody knows about it except for us.
He flew out here Monday September 27th. We had a beautiful week. And yesterday, we woke up, went down to Crossroads Mall to return some pants Serge had bought earlier this week. After that, we started looking at rings at this kiosk. We bought two silver bands for ten bucks apiece.
Then we drove to the Salt Lake County building to see about a marriage license. To get married at the county building was a two week wait. They gave us a list of retired judges who still perform weddings. We went outside, about 3:30 on a warm, fall day, sat on the freshly cut lawn and talked about what we wanted to do.
For me, despite how rushed and ridiculous it sounds, marrying Serge Bielanko is what I was born to do. Nothing I've ever done in my life has felt more right. We made an appointment for 5:30 with a judge in the city of Sandy, went back in and bought a marriage license.
Then we drove to Sugar House (a Salt Lake City neighborhood), Serge bought a coffee, we walked around a bit, talking, full of adrenaline. Then we drove home and changed our clothes. I put on a sundress and put on Max's collar as a garter. We drove to Rite Aid and bought a disposable camera and three postcards. One for Serge's Mom, his Dad and Dave.
We drove to the judge's house in Sandy. Beautiful evening, along the rim of the valley, autumn leaves on fire. The judge's house was this beautiful cottage type with ivy crawling up the sides. We went inside, the judge was there along with his wife and a neighbor, who were our witnesses. We signed the certificate and the ceremony began
It was better than anything I imagined. I was afraid and shaking but Serge kept his arm around me, kept squeezing my hand. Then the judge told us to face each other. As soon as I could look Serge in the eyes I felt okay.
We took our vows, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, then exchanged rings. "With this ring, I thee wed". The judge said you may kiss the bride in French, which is interesting because Serge's dad is from France. We kissed, my blood racing through my veins and it was over.
I hugged the judge and the witnesses, we took some pictures and off we drove. We put on Marah, Phantom Eyes. Serge's brother Dave wrote it, and it was our way of having him there. Plus it's one of my favorite Marah songs.
We both just kept staring at each other.
"You're my wife!"
"You're my husband!".
We stopped and took some more pictures then came home and changed. We went out to dinner at Red Lobster (Serge had a gift certificate, ha!) then we came home, made love for the first time as man and wife... and went to bed. AND I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING!
I will write more tomorrow. I just wanted to write about the actual events while they are still fresh in my mind. Serge is gone, back to his tour... America, Europe. I won't see him for a month. More tomorrow.
I am Monica Bielanko! And nobody but Serge and I know...
Oh My God.
Why did we keep it a secret? We simply wanted to own the knowledge ourselves for a bit. We wanted to bask in our marriedness without the judgement of brothers, mothers and ex-lovers. On paper it seems hasty and impulsive but it felt anything but. I felt as if I had spent my life preparing for that moment. Both of us, from the night we met, knew this was what we wanted. We knew what we were doing and we didn't want anyone ruining our happiness with their skepticism.
So we got married and we kept it to ourselves. Because it wasn't about anyone else but us. And we wanted it to stay that way until those close to us became accustomed to our relationship. We didn't feel as if we owed anyone the news until we were ready to share it. And when we did share it - family and close friends were at the top of the list.
Getting married is one of the biggest steps a human being can take. The amount of time Serge and I knew each other before tying the knot is no reflection upon how seriously we did (and do!) take our vows. In short; this marriage wasn't a lark. We didn't get hitched for kicks. We were serious about our love and our new life together. The past was where the past belongs; behind us. Ahead of us stretched an exciting new future. Together.
Regardless of our excitement at finding each other against all odds, we knew those around us may be concerned with such a seemingly rash decision. So we planned on keeping our secret until we were settled in New York City. We thought it would be a kick to throw a housewarming party in Brooklyn and then, during the toast, casually mention that oh, hey, by the way, we got married six months ago.
We should've known...It wouldn't turn out like that.

Discipline Process
Step 1. Incident Report is submitted to the Office of Community Life.
Any member of the College community, including but not limited to students, staff or faculty, may make a report of conduct involving a student or student organization that may be a violation(s) of the Code and/or other College policies. A report of such conduct can be made in writing and shall be directed to the Dean of Students, or designee.
Step 2. The Dean of Students, or designee, will review all reports of conduct to determine which sections of the Code and/or other College policies were allegedly violated and refer the case to the appropriate hearing process.
Types of Hearings:
a. A hearing between a hearing office and the student(s) individually
b. A hearing before a Peer Conduct Council panel; or,
c. A hearing before a Disciplinary Hearing Board (DHB) panel
Step 3. Written notification of the scheduled hearing is sent to the student via email to the student's SMC email account.
Students are expected to participate in the student discipline process when they are called to a hearing. Should a student fail to appear when proper notification has been given or should the student fail to provide a statement during the hearing, the hearing will proceed without benefit of that student's input.
Step 4. Hearing Meeting (see Preparing for a Disciplinary Hearing).
Step 5. Written Decision sent to student (includes decision, and sanctions if applicable)
Sanctions are completed by student. If sanction is not completed by due date a"hold" will be placed on your student account preventing the student from adding or dropping courses or viewing grades. Once sanctions are completed or if a student is found "Not Responsible", the case is closed.

Google Testing Ads on YouTube Mobile
The Google ad machine is making its way to YouTube mobile.
The search engine giant announced Monday that it is now running a test of display ads on select pages of YouTube mobile sites in the U.S. and Japan.
"This is our first step in testing mobile advertising for YouTube -- it will give you a new way to interact with content on the go, while allowing us to learn how video viewers engage with mobile advertising," Christine Tsai, product marketing manager for YouTube, wrote in a blog post. "Our test advertisers will also have an additional branding tool at their disposal and the opportunity to reach the millions of people who visit YouTube every day on their phones."
Google will be evaluating test results over the next few weeks, Tsai said.
In January, YouTube opened its entire catalogue to YouTube mobile. Users could sign into the video site with their handheld devices to rate, share, and comment on videos. The company also launched a beta version of a YouTube for mobile Java application.
