DNA testing is a phrase that does not communicate very well because it means different things to different people. In dogs it can mean (1) determining the likelihood that specifically identified dogs are related, and perhaps how they are related (2) looking for the markers for a specific trait such as color or genetic condition such as PRA (3) attempting to discover what breeds are in a mixed breed dog. This last meaning has only come into being in the last couple years and is proving to be very popular, but is it accurate? That is the question asked here.
It appears that there is some way to go still on the level of accuracy for these tests. The sellers of these tests start with an advantage over their target client base. The target clients don't know the answer and so are in no position to refute the response provided. Some people, however, have submitted samples of dogs with known heritage and received results sufficient to question the accuracy of these tests.
One person produced a video of the process of submitting samples of her AKC registered American Staffordshire Terrier. The dog came back identified as Border Collie, Boston Terrier and Bulldog. The service used was BioPet Vet Labs DNA Breed Test. The site says "We believe that 92% of the mixed breed dog population in the USA is covered by our 58 validated breeds.".
Note that the American Staffordshire Terrier is not one of those 58 validated breeds. It is, perhaps, good news for those whose dogs are constantly faced with ill conceived breed specific legislation. However, while this test was inaccurate, failing to find the breeds typically covered in BSL, I think the point is well taken that it could just as easily be inaccurate in the other direction. Such a test might be used by authorities to "prove" that a particular dog is a mix of a restricted breed even when the dog's background contains none of that restricted breed. Genetic testing has already been used to successfully counter an official's opinion that a particular dog is of a mix subject to a breed ban. If these tests are proven to be unreliable then are we back to the often very inaccurate "expert" opinions of officials?
Another person reported the results of submitting samples for a Boston Terrier and a Keeshond. Canine Heritage identified the Boston Terrier as a mix of Cairn Terrier, Miniature Pinscher and Whippet. Canine Heritage states that they are able to successfully assign the correct breed over 99% of the time when testing purebred dogs on their breed list. Their breed list includes the Boston Terrier and so should have been able to identify it. DOG DNA identified the Keeshond as Golden Retriever, Akita, and Samoyed. They are, apparently, using the same test and breed list as Canine Heritage. (This was reported on a MySpace Group for Mix Breeds and Mutts " So I got my dna test kits this week. so excited").
The dna for one dog, Dakota, a dog of unknown heritage was submitted. The dog, a recessive yellow (ee) weighing 55 pounds, was identifed as 51% Boston terrier, 25% to 49% Basset hound, and less than 25% Bulldog. The dog owner recognized that this was extremely unlikely and contacted the lab. The lab admitted an error had been made but has not yet sent the replacement results. The dogs pictured in an article published in the Houghton Lake Resorter also seem unlikely to have the breed inherirtance reported. An article by Linda Dahlstrom on MSNBC similarly questioned the results ... or rather lack of results but concedes that the problem might have been the very limited number of breeds identifiable at that time (38). The comments following the article provide additional consideration. I'm somewhat puzzled by the number of reports that include field spaniel, usually in trace amounts. The breed is very rare.
Deteriming that the test results on an unknown mixed breed are blatently incorrect is challenging but can sometimes be done by someone sufficiently familiar with typical inheritance patterns. While there are plenty of happy customers and properly identified purebreds and mixed breeds the number of reports of unlikely mixes suggests there is some development yet to go before there is a reasonable level of reliability.
In March 2010 someone requested that I link to http://www.wisdompanel.com/faq.html The interesting thing is that it didn't in any way refute my discussion above. It includes plenty of lovely marketing speak but also some honesty about the real level of accuracy. The bottom line is that if you know the background of your dog they have ready explanations why they couldn't determine your dog's background accurately, and if you don't know your dog's background you won't be able to dispute the accuracy.
I've thought about doing the testing on my dogs, just for the heck of it. Then I think better of it. Nothing can be proved either way. Kind of expensive entertainment. When it comes right down to it you still have to deal with the dog as it is, rather than as it is supposed to be. That is true even with purebred dogs.

Victory is near for Sharp Park Wetlands: Your Help is Needed - SAVE THE FROGS!
Please send this letter and urge the City of San Francisco to vote YES on legislation that would shut down the city's frog-killing Sharp Park Golf Course and turn the Sharp Park Wetlands over to the National Park Service. And please join us at City Hall (date to be announced soon!) for the public hearing, at which you will be able to speak for 2 minutes prior to the vote. We need to be extremely visible to the politicians, so we will have free t-shirts for attendees who RSVP.
This proposed legislation was prompted by the request of 1,359 SAVE THE FROGS! supporters who sent letters to the City of San Francisco asking them to save the Sharp Park Wetlands, and 100 people who attended our Save The Frogs Day Rally at the steps of City Hall. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will vote October 24th, 2011 on whether to shut down the Sharp Park Golf Gourse and give management of the Sharp Park Wetlands to the National Park Service. Victory is on the horizon, but we need you to make your voice heard…this will be a close vote! View our Sharp Park Press Release here.

Dunja Kovacevic and Laina Hughes for Dear Journal
I felt elated and a tiny bit nervous reading over an Instagram DM from the ladies at Dear Journal just over a year ago. They wanted my "feminist rants, photography, visual and emoji art, bathtub revelations, failed/fake online dating bios, rejected grad school applications, erotic fan fiction … you get the idea." Immediately, I opened a Word document and began typing the lead to a piece I'd had on the brain for months.
That winter, after a gleeful acceptance email, edits, and conversations over Messenger, I stood behind a microphone at The Tallest Poppy, ready to share the contents of that Word document. This time I felt equal parts nervous and elated. I gave myself a shake, grinned sheepishly (a gesture I later saw recorded on video), and began to read.
That night I was met with compliments and laughter in all the right places. I hugged women I'd known only through their social media pages, shared moments of animated conversation, exchanged smiles of encouragement across the room.
Now it's a Saturday in June, and I'm set to spend the afternoon wandering along the river and chatting with Dear Journal's founders, Laina Hughes and Dunja Kovacevic. As they strike poses out of a Sear's catalogue and we joke about The Spice Girls and America's Next Top Model, the trees echo with shutter clicks and laughter. Our conversation flows easily and spills over well into the afternoon.
FULL: What made you decide to start Dear Journal?
DK: We had always talked about doing something in the distant future, but felt like we weren't quite ready; we needed more skills, more experience. At some point we realised that we would never feel ready, we just needed to do it. I think it came out of the two of us wanting to submit work, but then feeling self-conscious about it, or not really knowing any outlets in the city that we felt comfortable submitting to.
I took a course at the University of Winnipeg with Heather Milne called Topics in Women's Writing, Life Writing. That course was such a revelation for me. It expanded my idea of what you could read in a class and exposed me to different contemporary narratives. I became really interested in the concept of writing our lives and how for women, non-binary people, two-spirited, people of colour, that is still a radical thing. Life writing is still often dismissed. It's termed as being not literary enough or confessional, all those sort of coded words that are really quite dismissive.
We were interested in that as a place of resistance, a place to write from. We wanted to create a platform to celebrate that. It was important to us that it wasn't an academic journal, so we could encourage emerging artists and writers, people who had never written before, people who don't consider themselves artists or writers, but have something they want to say. We wanted to resist that hierarchy of experience that often happens in journals.
The main concern for the first issue was whether anyone else would care about this. We thought we had a really cool idea, but we weren't sure if anyone else would care. And we were really surprised by the response.
LH: Lots of people from Winnipeg, lots of people from elsewhere – Canada, the States, we had contributors from Australia, Bulgaria, Ireland. It was really neat to watch this thing become bigger than ourselves.
FULL: What do you do to encourage diversity in what you publish?
LH: We have to acknowledge first and foremost that Dunja and I are both white, able-bodied, cishet women. We recognize that voices and experiences like ours are not the only ones out there, and it's important that Dear Journal reflect that. The fact that we were even able to take on and produce a project such as this is a great privilege.
DK: In our first issue, we accepted everything that we received. The issue was about 80 pages. After it went out, we started dialogue with a few people who pointed out that our first issue was pretty white. And we said, "We took everything that was given to us and that's what we got." But then we started recognizing that by calling ourselves an intersectional journal, there's a responsibility that comes with that. If the majority of submissions were from white people, what is it about our submission call or the things that we're posting?
LH: Where we're posting, what platforms we're using, who we're connecting with?
DK: So we definitely made a much bigger effort for issue two to reach out to specific influencers and communities. We developed a relationship with Black Girl Magic and traded calls for submissions and social media support. We've also reached out to some Indigenous women and writers in Winnipeg.
FULL: What are some of your goals around community with Dear Journal?
DK: Part of why we include people's social media info in their bios is because we want people who really connect with a piece to be able to go and follow that person online.
LH: Now I'll be on Instagram and notice that someone who contributed posted something and another contributor liked it and that connection was made through Dear Journal.
DK: I was struck too by what a positive, welcome space our launch was. It was almost everyone's first time reading creative work, we were a little uncertain and knock-kneed, but the place was packed and people were so effusive.
FULL: There's something about having that community right in front of you. To be able to go out into a space and feel safe as a feminist woman is a special thing. Those connections are so substantial as opposed to how we think about online ones.
DK: Part of my thinking and research is around growing up in an online generation. I have developed real friendships online.
LH: And feminist communities have gotten stronger because of these online, supposedly tenuous connections. They can become stronger than a lot of real life stuff. If you're living in a small town and there's no one who you relate to, it's powerful to go online and post something and have all these shares and likes.
DK: Or just to see an online presence that you connect to when you feel like an anomaly, an aberration. You go online and see all these other people just like you, it's comforting.
As someone who struggles with cyclical depression, there are times when getting out of the house is really hard for me. I feel very isolated. It's nice to have friends in other places who will check in with me online. I'm part of group chats with people who don't live here; we send each other pep talks. So for someone to say that that isn't real, or those connections aren't valuable isn't okay. I feel like that conversation about the realness of the internet will always be around, but internet friendships and internet activism isn't always armchair activism, it's real.
Even being visible as someone who is deemed other by society is a form of activism, and a legitimate form of rebellion. One of the main attacks on today's feminism is that it's selfie feminism, superficial. I disagree with that. I think that it can be, but that there's also power in that kind of feminism. There's a power when a woman takes a selfie simply because she feels good.
LH: To feel like you hate the way you look and then one day you feel good about it. Why not record and share that?
DK: Then you'll have other women respond and say, "Babe," that sort of stuff. It's empowering to have women supporting one another instead of finding flaws or tearing one another down.
LH: I feel like the only people I've ever heard legitimately complain about selfies are men. And I go, "Well, she didn't take that picture for you, is that why you're so sad?"
DK: Then five minutes later, it's, "You're so beautiful, I don't know why you don't know that." But when you take the photo, you're narcissistic and shallow.
FULL: There's so much internal turmoil that goes on when you're a feminist, in the sense that you want to stick up for yourself when you're confronted like that, but then the moment comes and you're caught off guard. You start to carry around scripts in your head just in case.
LH: I think about how I "should" behave as a feminist, especially regarding Instagram. When I first started, I thought it was a cool way to take and edit pictures. Increasingly it became, "What's going to get the most likes? What's going to be the funniest?" And then I started thinking about the fact that I had this platform, this space that I'm taking up, and that I'm not using it in a political way to convey a message.
DK: But that's exhausting too.
LH: It is, and that's why I just post cat pictures.
DK: I've gone the other way. I've really been trying to work through some of my more theoretical ideas and using Instagram as a platform for that performance: particularly when it comes to practicing a form of conscious vulnerability or radical softness.
People in my extended family or who I've known in a professional context have reacted to my Instagram very negatively because they felt like it didn't make sense with who I was. They imply I can't be a person with mental health issues and also be professional. I think the reason why people respond that way is because it's very threatening to see young women, or anyone who's a member of a marginalized or repressed group, owning their identity and confronting or playing with certain stereotypes. I do think that Instagram can be a very powerful medium for that.
But sometimes I forget that I'm putting this out there in the world, and then I've finally gotten out of the house after debating for four hours if I can possibly leave my bed, and I run into someone at the bakery who asks, "Is your day going okay?" I forget that I've shared this information with people.
LH: I'm only representing a small part of myself on Instagram: the superficial, funny cat pictures. But because I'm just doing that, I'm not showing my true self. I worry about not being a good example, or a strong feminist because I'm not using it politically. But then I go, no, at the end of the day this is what I want to make of it, and I don't want to spend too much mental energy on this platform.
DK: I think that's healthy on some level. I feel like there's additional pressure now. We all have to be role models or public figures: people who perform our politics and our identities online. Sometimes that's to the detriment of our own health.
FULL: The internet definitely opens up a lot of opportunity for complexity when it comes to our identities and how we connect to other people. Tell me more about the decision to bring Dear Journal to print, rather than exist as an online publication.
DK: We wanted to create a community, but also legitimize everyone's work by publishing it in a volume rather than throwing up a blog. It's something to hold. And it's encouraging for writers to have something published in an actual physical journal.
FULL: People talk about print media going away, there is still something about it that seems more legitimate.
LH: I work in publishing, which people often think of as a dying industry because books are on their way out. But they're not actually. eBooks have already peaked and now they're levelling off, because people still want to have a book.
DK: It's like the vinyl revival. People will continue to buy this, there's just more pressure on you to make sure that the actual physical thing is worth the money. So for us, we want Dear Journal to be visually stunning.
By doing work online, printing and hosting events, we're opening up a lot of space for community. We both want Dear Journal to be a space for connection and we hope that other projects will take off from those connections. There's an infinite amount of space for that.
You can follow Dear Journal on Instagram for community, great recommendations on feminist-friendly accounts, and updates about the release of the second issue.

the crosshair is not controllable?
Ugh I wish I had KNOWN that clicking more than once reset your missile ;) overall nice game though.
Dodgy controls make this game unplayable. Also, the music wasn't working on my mac, using chrome.
There can be only 1 bullet at a time.
Yeah the controls are plain horrible, especially to move the cursor horizontally x) And the fact that there can only be one bullet at the same time is another weird difficulty added on top of that.
The graphics looks quite good, unfortunately the gameplay itself is insanely difficult and not really fun.
Ah, glad it's just not me who wondered if the arrow keys were working. Nice idea for the game though.
The controls are too irresponsive! It's a cool concept though!
Promising graphics, and it steers like a death star on death star too!
Good: Nice graphics and a good interpretation of the theme!
Improve: I did not manage to hit any of the ships :/ Better controls perhaps?
The controls were really unresponsive though love the graphics.. I see a job at ILM in your future, hmm?
Loved the visuals on this. Gameplay is a bit weak. Would have preferred to control the reticle with the mouse. Aiming was just about impossible, although I was able to score a few hits.
Was your intention to make gameplay more difficult in order to simulate the difficulty of operating a death star? That is an interesting idea, but the controls need to be improved.
I feel like this is such a shame, because this game has everything to be so awesome! Please work on the crosshair, make it easier!
Yes, I agree with you all about the controls. My first implementation of the crosshair was way to easy to use thus I increase the difficulty a little too much. I didn't consider the mechanic to be a bug and was trying to stay within the rules of the event. I will try to update my game as time becomes available.
Didn't work for me. I'm assuming it needs webgl enabled?


This incredibly Mustang is powered by the highly desirable 289 V-8 Engine that powered many of the first generation Mustangs with a C4 Automatic Transmission with console mounted shifter and a Rally Pack on the steering column. It cruises down the road with ease and a performance that belies its exterior appearance. This fantastic and highly optioned Mustang comes with power steering, power brakes, and a power top. Factory air conditioning adds to the comfort level of this fine Pony Car along with newer steel belted white wall radial tires with Styled Steel Wheel covers for that sporty look. Any true Mustang fan knows that the highly optioned Mustangs are always in demand. This is a no disappointment rendering that is sure to please it's new owner and supply them with years of fun and appreciation.


Systema Solar's new album is a guaranteed picó party.
Systema Solar is one of those Colombian bands that I love because it's obvious their picó–inspired sounds can power any street party. There's also the lead singer's scraggly voice (that's a compliment) and their absolute homage to AfroColombian music from the Caribbean coast.
The audio-visual collective will release a new album, La Revancha del Burro (The Donkey's Revenge), on Oct. 29, and fans will be pleasantly satisfied with its diverse sound and social justice vibes.
First, a little bit about the concept of the record and what Systema Solar is all about.
Colombia has "disposable people," who scavenge everyone's leftovers looking for anything that can be re-used (there is no recycling program in the country). As seen in the video for the first single off the album, La Rana, the band played streetwalking "recicladores" (a local and sometimes even pejorative term to refer to 'recyclators') that seek for magical treasures in the depths of the city's trash. Shot in between Barranquilla and Santa Marta, epicenter of Colombia's psychedelic tropical culture, the video was conceived as part of a special project called "Mi Barrio Sin Basura," a local workshop given to the community of El Oasis in Santa Marta by Intermundos, Systema's pioneering foundation for community empowerment and knowledge exchange.
The recicladores do a job no one wants to do, and it's this reality that inspires the band.
It's music with a mission.
"Machete," for instance, addresses a new Colombian law that will soon require farmers can only use approved genetically modified seeds.
"The track talks about a campesino using a machete to clear snakes from the land", says Pellegrino.
As for the music, it's an invitation to think about these issues while enjoying yourself.
"Yo voy ganao" is upbeat, filled with heavy gaita flute, and a hell of a chorus, ('Sabor y wepaje!') "Esquina" is somewhat salsa-inspired. "Indio Guerreo" pays homage to aboriginal peoples, with an electronic dance music twist. And "Artificial" is clearly inspired by (do my ears deceive me?) a bachata rhythm?
There is a lot to this album and it's going to take several listens to get all the metaphors and meanings. But by purchasing it, one will feel part of this collective, which is obviously in the business for more than just music.


Photograph conservator Sylvie Pénichon reviews the technical history of photographic processes from the 19th century to the present, as well as the related conservation and preservation issues that attend them.
This lecture highlights the special exhibition Conserving Photographs and kicks off a yearlong series of programs exploring the Art Institute's collection through the eyes of conservators.
Persons with disabilities who would like to request an accessibility accommodation for an Art Institute program are encouraged to email access@artic.edu as far in advance as possible.
In the daily care of the Art Institute's photography collection, photograph conservators take the utmost precautions.
Photographs are surprisingly delicate objects—vulnerable to damage sustained through improper handling, poor storage conditions, and even flaws inherent to their own chemistry. Art Institute conservators meticulously document a work's condition; enact preventative measures to keep it safe while it's stored, shipped, and displayed; and undertake scientific research to learn more about its material composition. When damage is evident, they carry out state-of-the-art treatments, effectively turning back the hands of time.
Since 1982, the Art Institute has maintained a world-class facility devoted to the examination, analysis, preservation, and conservation of photographs, including a cold-storage vault dedicated to color photographs—the first of its kind in a fine art museum. This exhibition invites visitors to travel behind the scenes of our cutting-edge conservation lab, revealing the numerous steps taken to care for and preserve the collection, which comprises approximately 24,000 objects, from early daguerreotypes to present-day digital prints and time-based media. Visitors are able to discover how structural and aesthetic integrity is restored to damaged works through microphotographs that uncover characteristic features of papers, artificially aged samples that illustrate the effects of light on dyes, and side-by-side copies of the same image that show the inherent shortcomings of certain processes and the benefits of proper storage conditions.
Through a wide selection of works from the museum's collection that showcase the technical history of photographic processes from the 19th century to the present, as well as the related conservation, preservation, and connoisseurship issues that attend them, this unique presentation affords the rare opportunity to look at the collection through a conservator's eyes and see photographs anew.

Epiphany 3 ::: Matthew 4: 12-23
2Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 15"Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned."17From that time Jesus began to proclaim, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
18As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 19And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fish for people." 20Immediately they left their nets and followed him.21As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Translation: But hearing that John had been delivered over, he returned into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth, he came (and) dwelled in Capernaum by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali so that it might be fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, "Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, a way of sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and to the ones sitting in the region and shadow of death, to them a light has dawned." From that time, Jesus began to proclaim, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
But walking alongside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, the one called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of people." And immediately, they left the nets, they followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. And immediate they left the boat and their father, (and) followed him.
And he was going about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, healing all disease and all sickness in the people.
Background and situation: Mark is the primary source. (The parallel is Mark 1: 14-20.) Matthew makes a significant addition to Mark, however, when he follows the report of John's arrest with Jesus moving from Nazareth to Capernaum, along with a citation from the prophet Isaiah.
Matthew also shortens Mark in 4:17. Mark has: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe the good news." Matthew eliminates the reference to time (kairos), and has simply: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew repeatedly has "kingdom of heaven" where Mark has "kingdom of God." Nobody knows why.)
In Mark, James and John left their father in the boat "with the hired servants." Matthew leaves out the reference to "hired servants", which gives the impression that the Zebedee's were perhaps slightly less well-off than might be supposed from reading Mark.
As in Mark, the lection is preceded by Jesus' encounter with Satan in the wilderness. As soon as he comes out of his time of spiritual testing, Jesus hears that John the Baptist has been arrested. We know how John's arrest will end. As in Herod's slaughter of the innocents in chapter two, our thoughts are drawn to official state-sanctioned violence.
Taking up the reins of the movement: With John in jail, Jesus returns to Galilee. The NRSV translates anachoresin has "withdrew." "Returned" would be more accurate and would make more sense. To say that Jesus "withdrew" into Galilee gives the impression that he is hiding out under the threat of violence.
Just the opposite is true. Keep in mind: Going to Galilee means he is moving into the territory governed by Herod Antipas, the very ruler who arrested John. He is not hiding out. Quite the contrary. He's going into the lion's lair! He is "returning" to the area to take up the reins of the peasant resistance movement in light of the imprisonment of John.
"Leaving Nazareth," Jesus "came to dwell" in Capernaum. Capernaum was the largest town on the Sea of Galilee, and had the largest harbor. Boats came and went regularly, plying their trade--and also spreading news throughout the region. It would have been an excellent "communications center." Word could travel swiftly from Capernaum throughout the entire region.
Jesus moves from Nazareth, which is south west of the Sea of Galilee to Capernaum, which is on the northwest shore--the territory of Naphtali, but not Zebulon. Matthew knew this perfectly well. In citing the prophet Isaiah regarding Naphtali and Zebulon, Matthew's purpose is not to say that the Isaiah passage literally prophesies the future. (If he is, his prophecy is off.)
One of the things Matthew is doing here is giving a hint of Jesus' later mission to the gentiles. For the present, Jesus sees his mission as being "to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (15:35) After his encounter with the Canaanite woman in chapter 15, that mission will broaden. Matthew gives a hint of that here. The light will indeed come to "Galilee of the gentiles."
Secondly, Matthew also changes the Isaiah text. The "toward the sea" in Isaiah 9:1-2 refers to the Meditteranean Sea. Matthew means "by the sea" to be the Sea of Galilee.
In Capernaum, Jesus proclaims, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." John had said these exact words in "the wilderness of Judea." Here, Jesus says them in "Galilee of the gentiles." Not only are John and Jesus in continuity, but the "kingdom of heaven movement" is spreading throughout the region.
"For they were fishermen":
The Sea of Galilee is a large freshwater lake, about 7 miles wide and 13 miles "long." The shore is dotted with villages connected with the local fishing industry, among which Capernaum was foremost.
Fishermen of that day did not operate in a "free market" economy. The fishing industry was state-regulated for the benefit of the urban elite. These urban elites were Greeks or Romans who had settled in the land of Israel following their military conquests, or they were Jews well-connected with King Herod and his sons. Everybody else was poor.
Caesar and Herod benefited from the fishing trade in a variety of ways. For one thing, they sold the fishing leases which entitled local groups to fish in the sea. Fishing rights generally were awarded not to individuals, but to local "coops" based in kinship--like, for example, the brothers Simon and Andrew, and the Zebedee family.
In addition, there were taxes on both the fish product and on the processing, as well as tolls on shipping and land transport. Fisherman were at the bottom of a very detailed economic heirarchy, the main beneficiaries of which were Caesar, then Herod, then major tax collectors.
Jesus made a strong appeal to local fishermen. In fact, the known harbors of the Sea of Galilee in the first century strongly correlate with locations where Jesus either lived or traveled--Bethsaida, Capernaum, Gennesar, Magdala, Gadara and Gergasa. (The original name of Magdala, hometown of Jesus' girlfriend, was Tarichaeae, which means "processed fish-ville." It was only a few miles south of Capernaum.)
In addition to collecting taxes, the local tax collector (Matthew?) probably also sold fishing rights, and may have even supplied capital for certain fishermen to build nets or boats. Naturally, he would charge interest for this service. It's not for nothing that the subject of "debt" pops up all through the four gospels.
Were fishermen Jesus' base of political support? Put another way, were fishermen particularly responsive to Jesus' message because of the rigid state-control of their livelihood, and the economic oppression of high taxation?
Forming the new community: Jesus has just come out of the wilderness. He has heard the news about John, and deliberately steps into the leadership void caused by John's arrest. Before he articulates his own message in his signature speech, however, one thing remains to be done: the formation of a community--the "new community."
This "new community" is not based on family or economic ties--quite the contrary, in fact; its first four members left their families and their boat. The new community is the one based in Jesus. It will make a formal witness to Jesus' new vision for the world in the upcoming Sermon on the Mount (5:1). Subsequently, that "new community"--the ones living in communion with Jesus and each other--will be the face of that vision in the world.
Gospel:
This summary statement is about the proclamation of the gospel--"the good news of the kingdom"--to which is linked an outbreak of peace, health, and shalom. This proclamation of the gospel sets the stage for Jesus' first major speech in Matthew, the Sermon on the Mount, which expresses Jesus' "new law" of how to live out that gospel. Matthew presents Jesus as "the new Moses" through his gospel. Jesus is about to speak his "new law" from the mountaintop just as Moses had brought God's law down from a mountaintop in the Torah.

Epiphany 2 ::: John 1: 29-42
29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, "Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.' 31I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel." 32And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."
35The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, 36and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of God!"
37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?" 39He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o"clock in the afternoon. 40One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41He first found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed). 42He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
Translation: The next day he sees Jesus coming to him and said, "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is before me for he was before me.' I did not know him, but so that he might be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water." And John witnessed, saying, "I have seen the spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize in water, that one said to me, 'Upon whom you might see the spirit descend and remain on him, this one is the one baptizing in the Holy Spirit.' I have seen and I have witnessed that this is the son of God."
The next day, again John was standing, and two of his disciples. And he looked to Jesus. Walking around, he said, "Behold the lamb of God." The two disciples heard him speak and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following. He said to them, "What are you seeking?" They said to him, "Rabbi, (which is being interpreted, teacher), where are you abiding?" He said to them, "Come and see." Then, they came and saw where he dwelt, and alongside him they remained that day. It was about the tenth hour.
One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. He finds first his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is interpreted, Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked upon him (and) said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is interpreted Petros).
Background and situation: We are in the fourth gospel. The lection is preceded by the opening prologue (1:1-18). Then, in 19-28, John the Baptist says he is not the Messiah (nor Elijah, nor a prophet). All four gospels insist that John is a subordinate figure to Jesus, but the fourth gospel may take the strongest position of all. Six verses into the prologue--right off the bat!--we had already been pointedly told that John "himself was not the light," which John himself affirms.
Immediately following, in today's lection, John (again) testifies to the higher "rank" of Jesus. He was "before me," John says, perhaps another reference to Jesus' pre-existence already stated in verse one: "In the beginning was the Word."
Lamb of God: John is lauded as a "witness" (1:7), which is high praise in the fourth gospel. To what does John "witness"? "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." Israel had already heard of the "suffering servant" (Isaiah 53) who would "bear the sins of many." In the fourth gospel, the Lamb takes away the sin of the world.
The "paschal lamb" is the sacrifice mandated by Torah at passover. Later in the fourth gospel, Jesus will be condemned to death at noon on the day before passover, the precise time when passover lambs were slain in the Temple. (Ray Brown says that the hyssop Jesus was offered on the cross (19:29) is also the hyssop that was smeared with the blood of the paschal lamb which was then applied to the doorposts of the Israelites (Ex 12:22). The fourth gospel likes passover themes.)
The Lamb of God takes away the sin of the world--note the singular. Here, sin is viewed as something of a cosmic power, a view which also appears in Paul. The Lamb defeats the enslaving power of sin. It's about cosmic victory, in other words, and not about the snarky remark you made to Aunt Freda about her new hat. Note, too, that there is no sacrificial language here, which Ray Brown also notes and, good Catholic that he is, doesn't like.
John's witness: This is the fourth gospel's narrative of the baptism of Jesus. But, no baptism! Why not? Mark says that John's baptism was a "baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." In my view, the author of the fourth gospel knew Mark, but rejects his language, and, indeed, the entire baptism. For the fourth gospel, it is only the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
In Mark, the heavens were torn apart and the Spirit "descended like a dove" on Jesus. In the fourth gospel, the Spirit descended "out of heaven"--ek ouranou--and "abided"--emeinen--on Jesus. The root word menein--abiding, remaining--is a major concept in the fourth gospel. Jesus "abides" with his people, and his people "abide" in him.
Unlike the synoptics, there is no voice from heaven. Rather, John is a witness, as stated earlier in verse 8: "he came to testify to the light." Here he "witnesses"--martureo--that "he on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit."
Wes Howard-Brock notes that the Johannine community was trying to "establish its credibility" with the "emerging apostolic Christian authority" represented by people such as Peter and Paul, both of whom "saw" Jesus. The author of the fourth gospel is also a "disciple-witness," and his (or her) witness is trustworthy. "This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true (21:24)." Believing on the basis of witness is highly prized in the fourth gospel (20:29).
What are you seeking?:
Based on John's witness, two of John's own disciples follow Jesus. One is identified as Andrew, the other is unidentified. Some say this person is actually the Beloved Disciple and author of the book. In any case, the movement is away from John and toward Jesus. As John will later say, "He must increase, I must decrease" (3:30).
Jesus "turns" to them--in the fourth gospel, a sign of deepening relationship (20:16). He asks what they are "seeking"--zeteite. The word is used 23 times in the fourth gospel. Some seek the way of God, and some seek to advance their own position (7:18). Jesus asks a direct question that speaks to the heart of the human experience--"What are you seeking?"--and is not unlike God's first utterance to human beings in the book of Genesis: "Where are you?"
The two disciples call Jesus "rabbi," a term that likely was not used before the destruction of the Temple in AD 70. Nevertheless, the fourth gospel tells us that "rabbi" means "teacher." The two disciples acknowledge Jesus as a spiritual leader, but want to know where he is "abiding, dwelling, staying"--menein, again. How committed is he, and in what cause?
Jesus tells them to "come and see." "Seeing" has a lot of resonance in the fourth gospel. To "see" is to trust and to follow. (See the story of the man born blind in chapter 9.) What do these two disciples "see" in this case? They "see" where Jesus is "staying"--menein--and they "stay"--menein--with him.
We are not told "where" this was. Reading the text, you look for some identifiable place, some aspect of geography. We are not given a "where," but rather a "when"--not a spatial reference, but a temporal one: "It was about the tenth hour." Odd. Jesus is already co-mingling essential categories and he's just getting started!
Andrew and Simon Peter: The first disciple in the fourth gospel--Andrew--is identified by his relationship to his more famous brother, Simon Peter. (I like to think of the orthodox church in Delta, Colorado, the formal name of which is "The Orthodox Church of Saint Andrew, the First-Called Apostle.")
Andrew refers to Jesus as "Messiah," with a helpful translation for non-Hebrew readers--"Christ". This is now the third title for Jesus in this brief lection--"Lamb of God," "rabbi," and now "Messiah"--all of them Israel-centric and none of which are spoken by Jesus himself. (Jesus will make his own self-referential identification later.) Taken together, these titles "witness" to the total fulfillment of God's covenant with Israel in Jesus.
Simon Peter is referred to five times in just two verses. He is identified, first, as Andrew's brother with the name Simon Peter. Next, "Simon Peter" is reduced to the elemental "Simon." After Jesus "looked upon him," Jesus calls him "Simon, son of John," who is then called "Cephas," then "Peter." Jesus refers to him first in terms of his familial association, that most basic old world connection, then refers to him in terms of his new name, Cephas, symbolic of his being made a new person.
Taken as a whole, we are given a complete identification of Peter. We are told who he is both in this world and the world to come. We should not be surprised. As the fourth gospel had said in the beginning, "The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world (1:9)."

Baptism of Our Lord ::: Matthew 3: 13-17
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. 14John would have prevented him, saying, 'I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?'15But Jesus answered him, 'Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfil all righteousness.' Then he consented.
16And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, 'This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.'
Translation: Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized under him, but he forbade him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?" But Jesus answered and said to him, "Let it be so for now, for in this manner it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he let it be.
And, having been baptized, Jesus immediately was raised from the water, and behold! the heavens were opened and he saw the spirit of God coming down like a dove, coming upon him. And behold! a voice out of heaven says, "This one is my son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased."
Background and situation: Our lection contains the first utterance of Jesus in Matthew's gospel. First remarks are telling in all four gospels.
In Mark, Jesus' first words are, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent, and believe in the good news." Put another way: "The kairotic moment is now, God's reign is here, turn around your lives, trust the gospel"--all major themes of Mark's gospel.
In Luke, Jesus first words are to read from the prophet Isaiah:
'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
to bring good news to the poor.
19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.'
This fits well with Lukan themes such as an emphasis on the Holy Spirit, the prophetic mission of Jesus, help for the poor, healing as a sign of the kingdom, freedom from political oppression, and the connection of Jesus to the Jubilee year. (The Jubilee year--"the year of the Lord's favor"--was to be marked by the cancellation of debt and return of property to its original owner. In his version of the Lord's Prayer, Luke has "debts," and he means money.)
In the fourth gospel, Jesus' first words are addressed to two disciples who were following him. He says, "What are you looking for?" This is evocative of the first words of God--"Where are you?"--spoken to Adam and Eve in Genesis. There are several such connections with Genesis in John's gospel. The soaring introduction (1: 1-14) recalls the beginning of Genesis, as does Jesus' resurrection in a garden.
Matthew's agenda is different. The first words of Jesus in Matthew are: "Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfil all righteousness." The first phrase is aphes arti. Aphes, of course, is also translated as "release" or "forgive." (Aphes will be used a lot in Matthew's gospel.)
The issue of the Baptist: The "for now" part is how Matthew handles the issue of John the Baptist. The baptism of Jesus by John was a bit of an issue in the early church. You can tell by the squeamishness with which the story is told in all four gospels. Mark relates the actual baptism in the passive voice, and puts the focus squarely on the voice from heaven, as does Matthew.
Matthew adds to Mark the dialog in which John tries to talk Jesus out of being baptized by him. Luke says only that Jesus was baptized, but doesn't mention that it was John who did the baptism. (In the verse just prior to the baptism in Luke's gospel, John is in prison!) The fourth gospel doesn't mention the baptism at all, only that the Spirit descended on Jesus like a dove.
John's baptism implied a hierarchical relationship. The baptizer is senior to the baptizee. John himself recognizes this in Matthew's gospel, and says that Jesus should instead baptize him. He should be subordinate to Jesus. Matthew drums this in with his use of the imperfect: "John kept preventing him." (Thus, we have somewhat of a theological Alphonse and Gaston routine: "You first." "No, you first.")
John is right, of course. Baptism was for sinners (3:6). If that's so, what's Jesus doing here? What John needs is to be baptized by Jesus--"with the Holy Spirit and with fire" (3:11)--not for Jesus to baptized, "confessing (his) sins."
John is right about that, but misunderstands the nature of God's mission. God's reign will not be about John's fiery images of judgment for sinners, but rather God's "full immersion" into the trials and tribulations of his people.
The baptism of Jesus: Jesus' entry into the river recalls the Hebrew peoples' entrance into the Promised Land. In solidarity with them, Jesus stands in line with sinners. Jesus' mission will not be punishment of sinners, but identification with sinners.
This should be considered: John's request that Jesus baptize him would have been to affirm hierarchical relationships, the senior partner initiating the junior one. Hierarchical relationships are all upended in the new reign of God. "The last shall be first," after all, "and the first shall be last" (20:16). Jesus' solidarity with sinners is, in God's upside-down way, the superior position.
But release it, Jesus says. "Let it go for now." (John then "let it go"--aphes, again.) Why? Because "it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." (Note the "for us." Jesus sees John as a partner in this enterprise, neither a superior nor an inferior.)
Righteousness is a key theme throughout Matthew's gospel. In Jesus' first quoted utterance, Matthew puts the word right on Jesus' lips--"fulfill all righteousness." "Fulfill"--pleroma--is a word Matthew often associates with the prophets. "All righteousness"--the totality of it--is Jesus' solidarity with sinners, and in service to them. As Jesus will explain later (20:28):
'You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 26It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; 28just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
The actual baptism of Jesus is described briefly and, as in Mark, in the passive voice. "Having been baptized, Jesus immediately ascended from the water," recalling both resurrection and the creation of the world. He is the "new creation."
Then follow two "behold" statements--idou--unfortunately not translated in the New Revised Standard Version, which translates idou with the rather lame "see." (Which is better? The emphatic "Behold! I bring you good tidings of great joy!" Or, "See, I bring you good tidings of great joy.")
Matthew uses idou to announce something important. "Behold! The heavens were opened." This is a moment of special revelation. The abyss between heaven and earth is traversed. "And the spirit of God descended like a dove on him."
Said the prophet Isaiah, "Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down" (64:1) In continuity with the vision of Isaiah, God does come down, all the way down into the muck and mire of human existance. Moreover, God comes down not with John's fire, but as a dove, with peace.
Then another "Behold!" "A voice out of heaven saying, 'This one is my son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased." God is saying that Jesus is the expression--the earthly issue--of God's very self. God is not saying anything about trinitarian theology, a subject which, if we go by the scriptures, does not interest God all that much. God is putting the imprimatur on Jesus. In the way of Jesus, in his service on behalf of sinners, in his identification with sinners, we see the expressed desire of God himself.

"You have preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
For you tested us; you refined us like silver.
but you brought us to a place of abundance."
even when it feels like you are hurting me or persecuting me or ignoring me.
and I am not entitled to know the ends of your plans for this world in which I live.
"I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you.
but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
or withheld his love from me."
