The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

leaving the country for medical treatment, and that the president had to
miss the plane - an apparent excuse for the dissatisfaction of ASEAN and
IR's response to RP proposal. While RP's proposal is unlikely to get
passed in ASEAN agenda (I assume RP knows it), it may encourage RP to get
further in advocate with the U.S in upcoming U.S-ASEAN summit (which RP is
the correspondent)
Philippine president missed ASEAN opening over sea dispute policy -
Excerpt from report by Luhur Hertanto headlined "US-China Military
Rivalry Overshadows ASEAN Summit" published by Indonesian news website
Detikcom on 17 November
Jakarta - The Philippines' proposal that ASEAN [Association of South
East Asian Nations] unite in "facing" China over the South China Sea
crisis has received no response at the ASEAN Summit. Therefore, the
absence of President Benigno Aquino and Foreign Secretary Albert Del
Rosario at the opening session of the 2011 ASEAN Summit in Bali is
believed to have served as their protest over ASEAN's accommodative
What really motivated President Benigno Aquino to ask Presidential
Communications Secretary Ramon A. Carandang to represent him at the
"The president has to arrive late because of a domestic problem," the
Philippine presidential communications secretary replied in a press
statement at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center, Nusa Dua, Bali on
Thursday (17 November).
He did not specify the domestic problem which had forced President
Aquino and Foreign Secretary Del Rosario to arrive late. Carandang,
however, confirmed that President Aquino would attend the 2011 ASEAN
Summit at Nusa Dua, Bali on time.
"The president will be here as scheduled. I think this is not a
problem," Carandang said.
Carandang denied that the Philippines had objected to ASEAN's
accommodative policy toward the South China Sea crisis. He also denied
that the Philippines had proposed that ASEAN be in one camp to face
"We do not say that ASEAN must be in one camp over the South China Sea
issue, and we have never mentioned China," he said.
President Aquino asked Carandang to represent him at the opening session
of the 2011 ASEAN Summit. The crisis in the South China Sea also
involves the United States which is supported by Australia. A US
military base will be established in Darwin.
The willingness of both US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton to spend three days this week in Bali is believed to
have been related to the South China Sea crisis. The ASEAN leaders are
scheduled to meet with the US and Chinese leaders as part of a series of
the ASEAN Plus Three Summit Friday (18 November) or tomorrow.
The Philippines has very close military relations with the United
States. Will President Aquino be present on this occasion? Let us just
wait and see! [Passage omitted]

The Milwaukee Brewers open up a strange four game road trip today in Los Angeles. The Brewers will play two in Los Angeles and then two in San Diego before returning home Friday when they will be like "aww man, I want to go back to California."
The Brewers are 6-2 over their last 8 games and finally pushed themselves past the Pirates in the standings, but still remain two games under .500. For the Brewers to continue to push themselves towards the top of the NL Central and an expected playoff birth they need to play well in this small West Coast swing. It won't be easy. The Padres have some great pitching and the Dodgers are a baseball team.
Beyond baseball there are a lot of distractions that come with a West Coast road trip. There's beaches and clubs and movie stars and Disney Land, it's rough out there. For the Brewers to have success on this road trip they need to avoid all distractions. That's why we've put together this list of the four biggest threats facing the Brewers on this road trip and why they need to avoid them. Read the rest of this entry »

Tip: Consider a Bold Name Choice for Your Tech Company. Good name choices youre your technology or professional service business encapsulate the vision of your firm in a single word. Look to names that convey innovation, cutting-edge, intelligence or your companys bold approach to meeting customer needs and wants.
Trap: Avoid Names That Try Too Hard. Puns usually fall short as good company names. You want a name thats clever but not too clever. There is a fine line between engaging your audience and trying too hard. What you may think is witty may well turn off potential customers.
Tip: Check the History of Your Domain Name. You dont want to build your company on a domain that has been flagged by search engines for abuse, fraud or other unseemly activity. The previous domain history can linger in cyberspace for some time and may affect the search results for your new business. The solution is easy. Just enter the domain name into the top search engines -- Bing.com, Google.com, Ask.com, DuckDuckGo.com -- to learn of any negative history.
Trap: Avoid Including Too Many Members on Your Name Decision Team. Its important to have a few key individuals on your name selection team to give insight and perspective on your naming options. But a word of caution! While its great to solicit input from a myriad of stakeholders, resist the temptation to include every stakeholder onto the final decision team. Innovative names are bound to rub some member the wrong way. So with a large decision team, you are likely to end up with a lackluster, boring name choice that offended no one -- but also excited no one.

Hijab Gaining Favor in Turkey
April 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By F. Brinley Bruton
ISTANBUL, Turkey — Funda Altintas picks at her lamb kofte and salad and tentatively describes her dream.
"I really want to be a professor," the 23-year-old psychology graduate says. "My father says that maybe in 10 years I'll be able to be a professor."
On a night out on the town, Altintas' friends also share their ambitions: Melike Akkus, 25, and Fatma Betul Yumuk, 22, are getting their MBAs. Esma Bendez, 23, would like to focus on intercultural studies.
Despite earning degrees from one of Turkey's best universities, none can be sure of reaching their career goals. What stands between them and their ambitions has little to do with dedication, loans or standardized tests. Instead, it is the traditional Muslim head covering they all wear.
Parliamentarians, judges, teachers and professors are forbidden from wearing the headscarf in public buildings, even though Turkey is predominately Muslim and governed by the Islam-oriented Justice and Development Party (AKP). Held in place by an old guard of secular bureaucrats, judges and the army, the ban has been eased at universities but remains unofficially applied in large parts of the private sector.
For many Muslims, the right of women to dress in accordance with their beliefs is on the front line in a battle with the traditional ruling class. For many secular Turks, the head covering is a symbol of everything they fear Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan government is working toward — political Islam and the oppression of women.
Istanbul seems to comfortably meld the old with the new, the secular with the religious. A sleek tram car rumbles through the Old City. The Blue Mosque's soaring minarets and a hulking Aya Sofia — first a basilica, then a mosque and now a museum — crown a skyline that is both ancient and modern.
Women with and without headscarves walk through the city, arms sometimes linked. Despite appearances, what is known here as the "turban" remains one of the most polarizing issues in Turkey.
'Shock, awe and sadness'
Merve Kavakci-Islam's experience illustrates how explosive one piece of clothing can be. At the age of 30, she was elected as a lawmaker for the Virtue Party (Fazilet Partisi) in 1999.
Jeers greeted the engineer when she arrived for her swearing-in wearing a headscarf. For 45 minutes, dozens of rival parliamentarians chanted:
"Out, Merve Kavakci! Out!"
"The prime minister (Bulent Ecevit, who served in the role until 2002) got up and pointed at me with his finger and said, 'Put this woman in her place,'" she told msnbc.com.
Kavakci-Islam never took her seat. She was stripped of her Turkish citizenship within weeks and two years later her party was closed down.
Now a lecturer at George Washington University and Howard University, Kavakci-Islam says she felt "shock, awe and sadness" at her treatment in parliament.
"I was Western-educated — (with) all the qualities that the republic wanted," she says. "But one-quarter of the parliament were protesting against me."
The governing party is in a tight spot. In 2008, the AKP's failed attempt to lift a ban on Islamic dress at universities was used in a legal bid to shut it down. It was alleged the party had violated the country's secular constitution. And while the party says it will support university students expelled for wearing the "turban," it has refused to back around a dozen headscarved women who filed candidate applications ahead of June's parliamentary elections.
"There should be candidates wearing headscarves, but not now," AKP deputy leader Bulent Arinc said last month.
Even after the secular republic was established in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, many women continued to cover their heads. The ban has been enforced with varying severity over the years, but the vast majority of women of the traditional elite did not and do not cover their heads.
Akkus, Bendez, Betel Yamuk and Altintas pressed their point while at college. The four friends led five months of demonstrations at Bosphorus University when a new rector decided to enforce the ban on headscarves.
They say they are tired of fighting for the right to get ahead while "You have to convince other people that you are a thinking person with ideas and thoughts," Yamuk says.
Bendez told msnbc.com it is difficult to debate the subject with fierce secularists.
"Everybody talks to me, but they don't try to understand me," she said.
Secularists say easing the ban not only would betray the country's tenets but fundamentally hurt women's rights.
"The headscarf is a religious symbol but today it is a political symbol," said Nihal Kizil, the vice president of educational charity Association to Support Contemporary Life. "Can you imagine a headscarf-wearing judge presiding over a woman without a headscarf?"
The four friends say they constantly feel disadvantaged because of the way they dress.
Leaning over a cup of sugary tea served in a traditional tulip-shaped glass, Akkus says the fact that she covers her head has had a big impact on who will hire her and the size of her salary.
"I graduated from the best management programs in Turkey, and yet I earn half of what my classmates do," she said.
Akkus recounts a conversation with an executive with one of the world's biggest car companies. She asked him why his firm didn't hire headscarf-wearing women in management positions in Turkey but did in other parts of the world.
"He told me, 'We have to follow the rules of the country,'" Akkus said.
But Akkus, Bendez, Betel Yamuk and ———- agree that society is changing.
"Ten years ago, you couldn't imagine the president's wife in a headscarf," Betel Yamuk says optimistically.
The fact that President Abdullah Gul's wife, Hayrunnisa, covers her head has also been noticed by the country's army chiefs, who in October boycotted the Republic Day reception hosted by first lady.
Akkus is less upbeat than Betel Yamuk. She recounts the anger and humiliation she felt at the age of 14 when female students at her school were forced to uncover their heads.
"Soldiers came to our school," she says. "It was the hardest thing I have experienced."
Akkus and her mother wept that day and she vowed never to return to school. She did eventually return without her headscarf, but also forged a new long-term goal: "We decided the best thing for me to do would be to become a very important person."

The churches in Galatia were formed partly of converted Jews, and partly of Gentile converts, as was generally the case. St. Paul asserts his apostolic character and the doctrines he taught, that he might confirm the Galatian churches in the faith of Christ, especially with respect to the important point of justification by faith alone. Thus the subject is mainly the same as that which is discussed in the epistle to the Romans, that is, justification by faith alone. In this epistle, however, attention is particularly directed to the point, that men are justified by faith without the works of the law of Moses. Of the importance of the doctrines prominently set forth in this epistle, Luther thus speaks: "We have to fear as the greatest and nearest danger, lest Satan take from us this doctrine of faith, and bring into the church again the doctrine of works and of men's traditions. Wherefore it is very necessary that this doctrine be kept in continual practice and public exercise, both of reading and hearing. If this doctrine be lost, then is also the doctrine of truth, life and salvation, lost and gone."
The apostle Paul asserts his apostolic character against such as lessened it. (1-5) He reproves the Galatians for revolting from the gospel of Christ under the influence of evil teachers. (6-9) He proves the Divine authority of his doctrine and mission; and declares what he was before his conversion and calling. (10-14) And how he proceeded after it. (15-24)
Verses 1-5 St. Paul was an apostle of Jesus Christ; he was expressly appointed by him, consequently by God the Father, who is one with him in respect of his Divine nature, and who appointed Christ as Mediator. Grace, includes God's good-will towards us, and his good work upon us; and peace, all that inward comfort, or outward prosperity, which is really needful for us. They come from God the Father, as the Fountain, through Jesus Christ. But observe, first grace, and then peace; there can be no true peace without grace. Christ gave himself for our sins, to make atonement for us: this the justice of God required, and to this he freely submitted. Here is to be observed the infinite greatness of the price bestowed, and then it will appear plainly, that the power of sin is so great, that it could by no means be put away except the Son of God be given for it. He that considers these things well, understands that sin is a thing the most horrible that can be expressed; which ought to move us, and make us afraid indeed. Especially mark well the words, "for our sins." For here our weak nature starts back, and would first be made worthy by her own works. It would bring him that is whole, and not him that has need of a physician. Not only to redeem us from the wrath of God, and the curse of the law; but also to recover us from wicked practices and customs, to which we are naturally enslaved. But it is in vain for those who are not delivered from this present evil world by the sanctification of the Spirit, to expect that they are freed from its condemnation by the blood of Jesus.
Verses 6-9 Those who would establish any other way to heaven than what the gospel of Christ reveals, will find themselves wretchedly mistaken. The apostle presses upon the Galatians a due sense of their guilt in forsaking the gospel way of justification; yet he reproves with tenderness, and represents them as drawn into it by the arts of some that troubled them. In reproving others, we should be faithful, and yet endeavour to restore them in the spirit of meekness. Some would set up the works of the law in the place of Christ's righteousness, and thus they corrupted Christianity. The apostle solemnly denounces, as accursed, every one who attempts to lay so false a foundation. All other gospels than that of the grace of Christ, whether more flattering to self-righteous pride, or more favourable to worldly lusts, are devices of Satan. And while we declare that to reject the moral law as a rule of life, tends to dishonour Christ, and destroy true religion, we must also declare, that all dependence for justification on good works, whether real or supposed, is as fatal to those who persist in it. While we are zealous for good works, let us be careful not to put them in the place of Christ's righteousness, and not to advance any thing which may betray others into so dreadful a delusion.
Verses 10-14 In preaching the gospel, the apostle sought to bring persons to the obedience, not of men, but of God. But Paul would not attempt to alter the doctrine of Christ, either to gain their favour, or to avoid their fury. In so important a matter we must not fear the frowns of men, nor seek their favour, by using words of men's wisdom. Concerning the manner wherein he received the gospel, he had it by revelation from Heaven. He was not led to Christianity, as many are, merely by education.
Verses 15-24 St. Paul was wonderfully brought to the knowledge and faith of Christ. All who are savingly converted, are called by the grace of God; their conversion is wrought by his power and grace working in them. It will but little avail us to have Christ revealed to us, if he is not also revealed in us. He instantly prepared to obey, without hesitating as to his worldly interest, credit, ease, or life itself. And what matter of thanksgiving and joy is it to the churches of Christ, when they hear of such instances to the praise of the glory of his grace, whether they have ever seen them or not! They glorify God for his power and mercy in saving such persons, and for all the service to his people and cause that is done, and may be further expected from them.
Galatians 1:1-24 . SUPERSCRIPTION. GREETINGS. THE CAUSE OF HIS WRITING IS THEIR SPEEDY FALLING AWAY FROM THE GOSPEL HE TAUGHT. DEFENSE OF HIS TEACHING: HIS APOSTOLIC CALL INDEPENDENT OF MAN.
Judaizing teachers had persuaded the Galatians that Paul had taught them the new religion imperfectly, and at second hand; that the founder of their church himself possessed only a deputed commission, the seal of truth and authority being in the apostles at Jerusalem: moreover, that whatever he might profess among them, he had himself at other times, and in other places, given way to the doctrine of circumcision. To refute this, he appeals to the history of his conversion, and to the manner of his conferring with the apostles when he met them at Jerusalem; that so far was his doctrine from being derived from them, or they from exercising any superiority over him, that they had simply assented to what he had already preached among the Gentiles, which preaching was communicated, not by them to him, but by himself to them [PALEY]. Such an apologetic Epistle could not be a later forgery, the objections which it meets only coming out incidentally, not being obtruded as they would be by a forger; and also being such as could only arise in the earliest age of the Church, when Jerusalem and Judaism still held a prominent place.
1. apostle--in the earliest Epistles, the two to the Thessalonians, through humility, he uses no title of authority; but associates with him "Silvanus and Timotheus"; yet here, though "brethren" ( Galatians 1:2 ) are with him, he does not name them but puts his own name and apostleship prominent: evidently because his apostolic commission needs now to be vindicated against deniers of it.
of--Greek, "from." Expressing the origin from which his mission came, "not from men," but from Christ and the Father (understood) as the source. "By" expresses the immediate operating agent in the call. Not only was the call from God as its ultimate source, but by Christ and the Father as the immediate agent in calling him ( Acts 22:15 , 26:16-18 ). The laying on of Ananias' hands ( Acts 9:17 ) is no objection to this; for that was but a sign of the fact, not an assisting cause. So the Holy Ghost calls him specially ( Acts 13:2 Acts 13:3 ); he was an apostle before this special mission.
man--singular; to mark the contrast to "Jesus Christ." The opposition between "Christ" and "man," and His name being put in closest connection with God the Father, imply His Godhead.
raised him from the dead--implying that, though he had not seen Him in His humiliation as the other apostles (which was made an objection against him), he had seen and been constituted an apostle by Him in His resurrection power ( Matthew 28:18 , Romans 1:4 Romans 1:5 ). Compare as to the ascension, the consequence of the resurrection, and the cause of His giving "apostles," Ephesians 4:11 . He rose again, too, for our justification ( Romans 4:25 ); thus Paul prepares the way for the prominent subject of the Epistle, justification in Christ, not by the law.
2. all the brethren--I am not alone in my doctrine; all my colleagues in the Gospel work, travelling with me ( Acts 19:29 , Gaius and Aristarchus at Ephesus: Acts 20:4 , Sopater, Secundus, Timotheus, Tychicus, Trophimus, some, or all of these), join with me. Not that these were joint authors with Paul of the Epistle: but joined him in the sentiments and salutations. The phrase, "all the brethren," accords with a date when he had many travelling companions, he and they having to bear jointly the collection to Jerusalem [CONYBEARE and HOWSON].
the churches--Pessinus and Ancyra were the principal cities; but doubtless there were many other churches in Galatia ( Acts 18:23 , 1 Corinthians 16:1 ). He does not attach any honorable title to the churches here, as elsewhere, being displeased at their Judaizing. See First Corinthians; First Thessalonians, &c. The first Epistle of Peter is addressed to Jewish Christians sojourning in Galatia ( 1 Peter 1:1 ), among other places mentioned. It is interesting thus to find the apostle of the circumcision, as well as the apostle of the uncircumcision, once at issue ( Galatians 2:7-15 ), co-operating to build up the same churches.
3. from . . . from--Omit the second "from." The Greek joins God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ in closet union, by there being but the one preposition.
4. gave himself--( Galatians 2:20 ); unto death, as an offering. Found only in this and the Pastoral Epistles. The Greek is different in Ephesians 5:25
for our sins--which enslaved us to the present evil world.
deliver us from this--Greek, "out of the," &c. The Father and Son are each said to "deliver us," &c. ( Colossians 1:13 ): but the Son, not the Father, gave Himself for us in order to do so, and make us citizens of a better world ( Philippians 3:20 ). The Galatians in desiring to return to legal bondage are, he implies, renouncing the deliverance which Christ wrought for us. This he more fully repeats in Galatians 3:13 . "Deliver" is the very word used by the Lord as to His deliverance of Paul himself ( Acts 26:17 ): an undesigned coincidence between Paul and Luke.
world--Greek, "age"; system or course of the world, regarded from a religious point of view. The present age opposes the "glory" ( Galatians 1:5 ) of God, and is under the authority of the Evil One. The "ages of ages" (Greek, Galatians 1:5 ) are opposed to "the present evil age."
according to the will of God and our Father--Greek, "of Him who is at once God [the sovereign Creator] and our Father" ( John 6:38 John 6:39 , 10:18 , end). Without merit of ours. His sovereignty as "GOD," and our filial relation to Him as "OUR FATHER," ought to keep us from blending our own legal notions (as the Galatians were doing) with His will and plan. This paves the way for his argument.
5. be glory--rather, as Greek, "be the glory"; the glory which is peculiarly and exclusively His. Compare Note,
6. Without the usual expressions of thanksgiving for their faith, &c., he vehemently plunges into his subject, zealous for "the glory" of God ( Galatians 1:5 ), which was being disparaged by the Galatians falling away from the pure Gospel of the "grace" of God.
I marvel--implying that he had hoped better things from them, whence his sorrowful surprise at their turning out so different from his expectations.
so soon--after my last visit; when I hoped and thought you were untainted by the Judaizing teachers. If this Epistle was written from Corinth, the interval would be a little more than three years, which would be "soon" to have fallen away, if they were apparently sound at the time of his visit. Galatians 4:18 Galatians 4:20 may imply that he saw no symptom of unsoundness then, such as he hears of in them now. But English Version is probably not correct there. See would be not more than one year. BIRKS holds the Epistle to have been written from Corinth after his FIRST visit to Galatia; for this agrees best with the "so soon" here: with Galatians 4:18 , "It is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you." If they had persevered in the faith during three years of his first absence, and only turned aside after his second visit, they could not be charged justly with adhering to the truth only when he was present: for his first absence was longer than both his visits, and they would have obeyed longer in his "absence" than in his "presence." But if their decline had begun immediately after he left them, and before his return to them, the reproof will be just. But
removed--Translate, "are being removed," that is, ye are suffering yourselves so soon (whether from the time of my last visit, or from the time of the first temptation held out to you) [PARÆUS] to be removed by Jewish seducers. Thus he softens the censure by implying that the Galatians were tempted by seducers from without, with whom the chief guilt lay: and the present, "ye are being removed," implies that their seduction was only in process of being effected, not that it was actually effected. WAHL, ALFORD, and others take the Greek as middle voice. "ye are removing" or "passing over." "Shifting your ground" [CONYBEARE and HOWSON]. But thus the point of Paul's oblique reference to their misleaders is lost; and in Hebrews 7:12 the Greek is used passively, justifying its being taken so here. On the impulsiveness and fickleness of the Gauls (another form of Kel-t-s, the progenitors of the Erse, Gauls, Cymri, and Belgians), whence the Galatians sprang, [Commentaries on the Gallic War, 3.19].
from him that called you--God the Father ( Galatians 1:15 , Galatians 5:8 , Romans 8:30 , 1 Corinthians 1:9 , 1 Thessalonians 2:12 , 5:24 ).
into--rather, as Greek, "IN the grace of Christ," as the element in which, and the instrument by which, God calls us to salvation. Compare Note, Romans 5:15 , "the gift by (Greek, 'in') grace (Greek, 'the grace') of (the) one man." "The grace of Christ," is Christ's gratuitously purchased and bestowed justification, reconciliation, and eternal life.
another--rather, as Greek, "a second and different gospel," that is, into a so-called gospel, different altogether from the only true Gospel.
7. another--A distinct Greek word from that in Galatians 1:6 . Though I called it a gospel ( Galatians 1:6 ), it is not really so. There is really but one Gospel, and no other gospel.
but--Translate, "Only that there are some that trouble you," &c. ( Galatians 5:10 Galatians 5:12 ). All I meant by the "different gospel" was nothing but a perversion by "some" of the one Gospel of Christ.
would pervert--Greek, "wish to pervert"; they could not really pervert the Gospel, though they could pervert Gospel professors (compare Galatians 4:9 Galatians 4:17 Galatians 4:21 , Galatians 6:12 Galatians 6:13 , Colossians 2:18 ). Though acknowledging Christ, they insisted on circumcision and Jewish ordinances and professed to rest on the authority of other apostles, namely, Peter and James. But Paul recognizes no gospel, save the pure Gospel.
8. But--however weighty they may seem "who trouble you." Translate as Greek, "Even though we," namely, I and the brethren with me, weighty and many as we are ( Galatians 1:1 Galatians 1:2 ). The Greek implies a case supposed which never has occurred.
angel--in which light ye at first received me (compare Galatians 4:14 , 1 Corinthians 13:1 ), and whose authority is the highest possible next to that of God and Christ. A new revelation, even though seemingly accredited by miracles, is not to be received if it contradict the already existing revelation. For God cannot contradict Himself ( Deuteronomy 13:1-3 , 1 Kings 13:18 , Matthew 24:24 , 2 Thessalonians 2:9 ). The Judaizing teachers sheltered themselves under the names of the great apostles, James, John, and Peter: "Do not bring these names up to me, for even if an angel," &c. Not that he means, the apostles really supported the Judaizers: but he wishes to show, when the truth is in question, respect of persons is inadmissible [CHRYSOSTOM].
preach--that is, "should preach."
any other gospel . . . than--The Greek expresses not so much "any other gospel different from what we have preached," as, "any gospel BESIDE that which we preached." This distinctly opposes the traditions of the Church of Rome, which are at once besides and against (the Greek includes both ideas) the written Word, our only "attested rule."
9. said before--when we were visiting you (so "before" means, 2 Corinthians 13:2 ). Compare Galatians 5:2 Galatians 5:3 Galatians 5:21 . Translate, "If any man preacheth unto you any gospel BESIDE that which," &c. Observe the indicative, not the subjunctive or conditional mood, is used, "preacheth," literally, "furnisheth you with any gospel." The fact is assumed, not merely supposed as a contingency, as in Galatians 1:8 , "preach," or "should preach." This implies that he had already observed (namely, during his last visit) the machinations of the Judaizing teachers: but his surprise ( Galatians 1:6 ) now at the Galatians being misled by them, implies that they had not apparently been so then. As in Galatians 1:8 he had said, "which we preached," so here, with an augmentation of the force, "which ye received"; acknowledging that they had truly accepted it.
accursed--The opposite appears in Galatians 6:16 .
10. For--accounting for the strong language he has just used.
do I now--resuming the "now" of Galatians 1:9 . "Am I now persuading men?" [ALFORD], that is, conciliating. Is what I have just now said a sample of men-pleasing, of which I am accused? His adversaries accused him of being an interested flatterer of men, "becoming all things to all men," to make a party for himself, and so observing the law among the Jews (for instance, circumcising Timothy), yet persuading the Gentiles to renounce it ( Galatians 5:11 ) (in order to flatter those, really keeping them in a subordinate state, not admitted to the full privileges which the circumcised alone enjoyed). NEANDER explains the "now" thus: Once, when a Pharisee, I was actuated only by a regard to human authority and to please men ( Luke 16:15 , John 5:44 ), but Now I teach as responsible to God alone ( 1 Corinthians 4:3 ).
or God?--Regard is to be had to God alone.
for if I yet pleased men--The oldest manuscripts omit "for." "If I were still pleasing men," &c. ( Luke 6:26 , John 15:19 , 1 Thessalonians 2:4 , 4:4 , 1 John 4:5 ). On "yet," compare Galatians 5:11 .
servant of Christ--and so pleasing Him in all things ( Titus 2:9 , Colossians 3:22 ).
11. certify--I made known to you as to the Gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man, that is, not of, by, or from man ( Galatians 1:1 Galatians 1:12 ). It is not according to man; not influenced by mere human considerations, as it would be, if it were of human origin.
brethren--He not till now calls them so.
12. Translate, "For not even did I myself (any more than the other apostles) receive it from man, nor was I taught it (by man)." "Received it," implies the absence of labor in acquiring it. "Taught it," implies the labor of learning.
by the revelation of Jesus Christ--Translate, "by revelation of [that is, from] Jesus Christ." By His revealing it to me. Probably this took place during the three years, in part of which he sojourned in Arabia ( Galatians 1:17 Galatians 1:18 ), in the vicinity of the scene of the giving of the law; a fit place for such a revelation of the Gospel of grace, which supersedes the ceremonial law ( Galatians 4:25 ). He, like other Pharisees who embraced Christianity, did not at first recognize its independence of the Mosaic law, but combined both together. Ananias, his first instructor, was universally esteemed for his legal piety and so was not likely to have taught him to sever Christianity from the law. This severance was partially recognized after the martyrdom of Stephen. But Paul received it by special revelation ( 1 Corinthians 11:23 , 15:3 , 1 Thessalonians 4:15 ). A vision of the Lord Jesus is mentioned ( Acts 22:18 ), at his first visit to Jerusalem ( Galatians 1:18 ); but this seems to have been subsequent to the revelation here meant (compare Galatians 1:15-18 ), and to have been confined to giving a particular command. The vision "fourteen years before" ( 2 Corinthians 12:1 ) was in A.D. 43, still later, six years after his conversion. Thus Paul is an independent witness to the Gospel. Though he had received no instruction from the apostles, but from the Holy Ghost, yet when he met them his Gospel exactly agreed with theirs.
13. heard--even before I came among you.
conversation--"my former way of life."
Jews' religion--The term, "Hebrew," expresses the language; "Jew," the nationality, as distinguished from the Gentiles; "Israelite," the highest title, the religious privileges, as a member of the theocracy.
the church--Here singular, marking its unity, though constituted of many particular churches, under the one Head, Christ.
of God--added to mark the greatness of his sinful alienation from God ( 1 Corinthians 15:19 ).
wasted--laid it waste: the opposite of "building it up."
14. profited--Greek, "I was becoming a proficient"; "I made progress."
my equals--Greek, "Of mine own age, among my countrymen."
traditions of my fathers--namely, those of the Pharisees, Paul being "a Pharisee, and son of a Pharisee" ( Acts 23:6 , 26:5 ). "MY fathers," shows that it is not to be understood generally of the traditions of the nation.
15. separated--"set me apart": in the purposes of His electing love (compare Acts 9:15 , 22:14 ), in order to show in me His "pleasure," which is the farthest point that any can reach in inquiring the causes of his salvation. The actual "separating" or "setting apart" to the work marked out for him, is mentioned in Acts 13:2 , Romans 1:1 . There is an allusion, perhaps, in the way of contrast, to the derivation of Pharisee from Hebrew, "pharash," "separated." I was once a so-called Pharisee or Separatist, but God had separated me to something far better.
from . . . womb--Thus merit in me was out of the question, in assigning causes for His call from Acts 9:11 . Grace is the sole cause ( Psalms 22:9 , 71:6 , Isaiah 49:1 Isaiah 49:5 , Jeremiah 1:5 , Luke 1:15 ).
called me--on the way to Damascus ( Acts 9:3-8 ).
16. reveal his Son in me--within me, in my inmost soul, by the Holy Spirit ( Galatians 2:20 ). Compare 2 Corinthians 4:6 , "shined in our hearts." The revealing of His Son by me to the Gentiles (so translate for "heathen") was impossible, unless He had first revealed His Son in me; at first on my conversion, but especially at the subsequent revelation from Jesus Christ ( Galatians 1:12 ), whereby I learned the Gospel's independence of the Mosaic law.
that I might preach--the present in the Greek, which includes the idea "that I may preach Him," implying an office still continuing. This was the main commission. entrusted to him ( Galatians 2:7 Galatians 2:9 ).
immediately--connected chiefly with "I went into Arabia" ( Galatians 1:17 ). It denotes the sudden fitness of the apostle. So Acts 9:20 , "Straightway he preached Christ in the synagogue."
I conferred not--Greek, "I had not further (namely, in addition to revelation) recourse to . . . for the purpose of consulting." The divine revelation was sufficient for me [BENGEL].
flesh and blood--( Matthew 16:17 ).
17. went I up--Some of the oldest manuscripts read, "went away."
to Jerusalem--the seat of the apostles.
into Arabia--This journey (not recorded in Acts) was during the whole period of his stay at Damascus, called by Luke ( Acts 9:23 ), "many [Greek, a considerable number of] days." It is curiously confirmatory of the legitimacy of taking "many days" to stand for "three years," that the same phrase exactly occurs in the same sense in 1 Kings 2:38 1 Kings 2:39 . This was a country of the Gentiles; here doubtless he preached as he did before and after ( Acts 9:20 Acts 9:22 ) at Damascus: thus he shows the independence of his apostolic commission. He also here had that comparative retirement needed, after the first fervor of his conversion, to prepare him for the great work before him. Compare Moses ( Acts 7:29 Acts 7:30 ). His familiarity with the scene of the giving of the law, and the meditations and revelations which he had there, appear in Galatians 4:24 Galatians 4:25 , Hebrews 12:18 . on earth in the days of His flesh communed with the other apostles.
returned--Greek "returned back again."
18. after three years--dating from my conversion, as appears by the contrast to "immediately" ( Galatians 1:16 ). This is the same visit to Jerusalem as in Acts 9:26 , and at this visit occurred the vision ( Acts 22:17 Acts 22:18 ). The incident which led to his leaving Damascus ( Acts 9:25 , 2 Corinthians 11:33 ) was not the main cause of his going to Jerusalem. So that there is no discrepancy in the statement here that he went "to see Peter"; or rather, as Greek, "to make the acquaintance of"; "to become personally acquainted with." The two oldest manuscripts read, "Cephas," the name given Peter elsewhere in the Epistle, the Hebrew name; as Peter is the Greek ( John 1:42 ). Appropriate to the view of him here as the apostle especially of the Hebrews. It is remarkable that Peter himself, in his Epistles, uses the Greek name Peter, perhaps to mark his antagonism to the Judaizers who would cling to the Hebraic form. He was prominent among the apostles, though James, as bishop of Jerusalem, had the chief authority there ( Matthew 16:18 ).
abode--or "tarried" [ELLICOTT].
fifteen days--only fifteen days; contrasting with the long period of three years, during which, previously, he had exercised an independent commission in preaching: a fact proving on the face of it, how little he owed to Peter in regard to his apostolical authority or instruction. The Greek for "to see," at the same time implies visiting a person important to know, such as Peter was. The plots of the Jews prevented him staying longer ( Acts 9:29 ). Also, the vision directing him to depart to the Gentiles, for that the people of Jerusalem would not receive his testimony ( Acts 22:17 Acts 22:18 ).
19. Compare Acts 9:27 Acts 9:28 , wherein Luke, as an historian, describes more generally what Paul, the subject of the history, himself details more particularly. The history speaks of "apostles"; and Paul's mention of a second apostle, besides Peter, reconciles the Epistle and the history. At Stephen's martyrdom, and the consequent persecution, the other ten apostles, agreeably to Christ's directions, seem to have soon (though not immediately, Acts 8:14 ) left Jerusalem to preach elsewhere. James remained in charge of the mother church, as its bishop. Peter, the apostle of the circumcision, was present during Paul's fifteen days' stay; but he, too, presently after ( Acts 9:32 ), went on a circuit through Judea.
James, the Lord's brother--This designation, to distinguish him from James the son of Zebedee, was appropriate while that apostle was alive. But before Paul's second visit to Jerusalem ( Galatians 2:1 , Acts 15:1-4 ), he had been beheaded by Herod ( Acts 12:2 ). Accordingly, in the subsequent mention of James here ( Galatians 2:9 Galatians 2:12 ), he is not designated by this distinctive epithet: a minute, undesigned coincidence, and proof of genuineness. James was the Lord's brother, not in our strict sense, but in the sense, "cousin," or "kinsman" ( Matthew 28:10 , John 20:17 ). His brethren are never called "sons of Joseph," which they would have been had they been the Lord's brothers strictly. However, compare Psalms 69:8 , "I am an alien to my mother's children." In John 7:3 John 7:5 , the "brethren" who believed not in Him may mean His near relations, not including the two of His brethren, that is, relatives (James and Jude) who were among the Twelve apostles. Acts 1:14 , "His brethren," refer to Simon and Joses, and others ( Matthew 13:55 ) of His kinsmen, who were not apostles. It is not likely there would be two pairs of brothers named alike, of such eminence as James and Jude; the likelihood is that the apostles James and Jude are also the writers of the Epistles, and the brethren of Jesus. James and Joses were sons of Alpheus and Mary, sister of the Virgin Mary.
20. Solemn asseveration that his statement is true that his visit was but for fifteen days and that he saw no apostle save Peter and James. Probably it had been reported by Judaizers that he had received a long course of instruction from the apostles in Jerusalem from the first; hence his earnestness in asserting the contrary facts.
21. I came into . . . Syria and Cilicia--"preaching the faith" ( Galatians 1:23 ), and so, no doubt, founding the churches in Syria and Cilicia, which he subsequently confirmed in the faith ( Acts 15:23 Acts 15:41 ). He probably went first to Cæsarea, the main seaport, and thence by sea to Tarsus of Cilicia, his native place ( Acts 9:30 ), and thence to Syria; Cilicia having its geographical affinities with Syria, rather than with Asia Minor, as the Tarsus mountains separate it from the latter. His placing "Syria" in the order of words before "Cilicia," is due to Antioch being a more important city than Tarsus, as also to his longer stay in the former city. Also "Syria and Cilicia," from their close geographical connection, became a generic geographical phrase, the more important district being placed first [CONYBEARE and HOWSON]. This sea journey accounts for his being "unknown by face to the churches of Judea" ( Galatians 1:22 ). He passes by in silence his second visit, with alms, to Judea and Jerusalem ( Acts 11:30 ); doubtless because it was for a limited and special object, and would occupy but a few days ( Acts 12:25 ), as there raged at Jerusalem at the time a persecution in which James, the brother of John, was martyred, and Peter was m prison, and James seems to have been the only apostle present ( Acts 12:17 ); so it was needless to mention this visit, seeing that he could not at such a time have received the instructions which the Galatians alleged he had derived from the primary fountains of authority, the apostles.
22. So far was I from being a disciple of the apostles, that I was even unknown in the churches of Judea (excepting Jerusalem, Acts 9:26-29 ), which were the chief scene of their labors.
23. Translate as Greek, "They were hearing": tidings were brought them from time to time [CONYBEARE and HOWSON].
he which persecuted us in times past--"our former persecutor" [ALFORD]. The designation by which he was known among Christians still better than by his name "Saul."
destroyed--Greek, "was destroying."
24. in me--"in my case." "Having understood the entire change, and that the former wolf is now acting the shepherd's part, they received occasion for joyful thanksgiving to God in respect to me" [THEODORET]. How different, he implies to the Galatians, their spirit from yours!

Tips For Traveling With Your Pet
Posted: Mar 05 2012
Posted: Mar 05 2012

Unfortunately, the biggest threat of pet poisoning is often found at home. Common medications like ibuprofen, antidepressants, acetaminophen and ADHD medications are major culprits. Not only do these medications, if not stored properly, pose a risk in the home, they also pose a risk to the environment if not disposed of properly.
In an effort to address this problem, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the National Sea Grant College Program have partnered to raise awareness about the proper storage and disposal of common, household medications.
Make sure you store all of your medication out of the reach of pets and children. Check that any medication you carry in your purse, backpack or briefcase is not accessible to pets. And, don't store medication in lower cabinets or shelves in your kitchen or bath.

A new study by Pethealth, Inc. shows that more stray cats are being returned to their homes rather than taken to animal shelters. Increased use of pet tags and microchipping is helping to decrease the stray pet population and ensure that lost cats find their way home.
While this is good news for the cats that are returned home, overpopulation of cats and dogs in animal shelters continues. It's important to make sure your pets' tags are up-to-date with your current contact information. It's also a good idea to make sure the ring connectors on your tags are in good working order and that collars and harnesses fit properly.

A study in the American Journal of Cardiology reports that people with pets had better heart rate variability than those without. The study of 200 Japanese people with a chronic disease like diabetes, high blood pressure of high cholesterol, found that pet owners in the cohort had hearts that responded better to the body's changing requirements, such as beating faster during stressful situations. Reduced heart rate variability has been linked to a higher risk of dying from heart disease.
While the study was very preliminary, Erika Friedmann, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, said that it's a step forward from what is already known about the connection between pet ownership and a person's heart health.
Hooray for heart healthy pets!

As animal lovers, we all know the value our pets bring to our lives. It turns out more and more employers are recognizing those benefits and allowing pets in the workplace.
According to a survey conducted by the American Pet Products Manufacturing Association (APPMA), over 50 million respondents believe that having pets in the workplace creates a more productive environment, improves interpersonal relationships and leads to more creativity.

Excellent Value, Great Choices
By L.M.R.
from NJ
I sent this to my elderly aunt, who really enjoyed all the goodies inside. This particular basket contained lots of "softer" items rather than things that would be hard for an older person to eat. My aunt liked the variety and all the "little boxes" to open. This was a great value for the high quality of the product, plus the service from Wine Country Gift Baskets was excellent! This gift arrived exactly when it was supposed to. You can't ask for anything better.
Everyone loves the Gifts.

Summarising the Wigan defeat for Match of the Day, Dixon - who won four league titles and three FA cups with Arsenal - argued:
"I think the expectation levels at Liverpool are so high that two cups for the fans is just not good enough. Five wins out of 15 is the lowest return since 1953 for Liverpool, so Kenny has to look at those signings.
"Suarez has done alright but sould score more goals; Enrique's done okay, but the rest of them haven't done the manager justice. They haven't played well enough for long enough. Something needs to change; Dalglish has to try and reinvigorate that squad".
Dixon is 100% right in my view, but I'm not sure the majority of fans would agree that two cups is 'not good enough', which is a sign that the campaign to systematically lower expectations has worked.
I've made my feelings clear on the meaningless Carling Cup many times, but it's always great to win the FA Cup, and I hope Liverpool can do it. Even if that happens though, it still wouldn't be enough to mask the atrocious form in the league.

Hey Everyone,
I just moved up north to Sterling from Boylston and I am currently looking for some local trails. I have been riding Leominster for a couple of years now, and love it, but was wondering if there were any trails in Sterling, Lancaster, or Holden that were also worth checking out.
Thanks For any suggestions.

For additional details, please see: UPDATED: FDA names Taylor Farms de Mexico in outbreak
(UPDATED COVERAGE, 1:55 p.m.) With 466 cases of cyclospora parasite infections already confirmed and more cases being confirmed daily, the Food and Drug Administration has stepped up its traceback investigation into the packaged salad mix from a Taylor Farms facility in Mexico.
The agency now has 21 people — up from five a week ago — on the case at its headquarters. FDA specialists in 10 field offices across the country are also working on the outbreak investigation. As of Aug. 5, infections from the tropical, one-celled parasite had been confirmed in 16 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Investigators with FDA have already confirmed that Iowa and Nebraska health officials were correct when they linked outbreaks in their states to packaged salad mix from Taylor Farms de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V.
As of Aug. 8, the FDA's investigation had not linked any illnesses to consumer packs of the salad mix sold in retail stores.
"As a result of the current investigation FDA is increasing its surveillance efforts on green leafy products exported to the U.S. from Mexico," according to the agency's Aug. 6 update.
Investigators are trying to determine if outbreaks in 14 other states are also related to the salad mix, or if there is another potential source. The salad was served at Rod Lobster and Olive Garden restaurants, which are part of the Darden Restaurants operation.
Darden's communications director Rich Jeffers said Aug. 7 that the company is cooperating with investigators.
"We respect their findings and will continue to work with them on this matter. Iowa and Nebraska health authorities have said this is not an ongoing outbreak and the product is no longer in the food supply in those states," Jeffers said.
The FDA update said the implicated salad mix is likely out of the supply chain by now because of its limited shelf life.
