Who Wrote the Gospel according to Mark?

According to the traditional view, the four Gospels in the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (the "canonical" Gospels)—were written either by eyewitnesses to Jesus's ministry or by those closely connected with eyewitnesses. For example, on the traditional view the Gospel according to Mark ("Mark" or the "second Gospel") was written by a personal secretary to the Apostle Peter—one of Jesus's original disciples.
In Chapter 3 of How Jesus Became God, Bart Ehrman raises doubts about this traditional view. As I noted in my last post, Ehrman argues that the authors of the Gospels were Christians "of a later generation" who wrote after (or almost after) Jesus's original disciples had died. But, if the authors of the Gospels were not closely connected to Jesus or his disciples in time and space, as Ehrman suggests, then it looks less plausible to attribute the content of the Gospels to the historical Jesus.
In this post I will begin responding to Ehrman's argument about the authorship of the Gospels by considering who wrote Mark. Mark is especially important among the four canonical Gospels since it is typically understood as the earliest—written in the late 60s or early 70s CE—and since two of the other canonical Gospels, Matthew and Luke, seem to rely on it extensively as a source (more on that in future posts).
In this post, my goal will not be to definitively establish who the author of Mark was; in fact, it is likely impossible to do so given the nature of the evidence. Instead, my aim will simply be to show that the traditional view is sufficiently supported by evidence, and that it is not unreasonable to hold such a view.
Papias's Testimony
As I noted in my last post, all four of the canonical Gospels were anonymously written: in none of the documents does the author identify himself or herself. Thus, if we are to understand who wrote Mark, we will need to rely on evidence external to the Gospel and clues from the style and content of the Gospel. I will focus on external evidence, here, since the arguments based on style and content generally seem speculative and inconclusive to me.
The earliest account of the traditional view of the authorship of Mark is in a lost five-volume work by Papias, bishop of Hieropolis, called Interpretation of the Lord's Sayings, dated around 120 or 130 CE, 50 to 60 years after Mark was written (Guelich xxvi). We know of Papias's lost work since it is quoted by Eusebius in his 4th-century history of the church. As quoted by Eusebius, Papias says the following about the author of the second Gospel:
And this is what the Elder said, "Mark who became Peter's interpreter, accurately wrote, though not in order, as many of the things said and done by the Lord as he had noted. For he neither heard the Lord nor followed him, but afterwards, as I said, he followed Peter who composed his teachings in anecdotes and not as a complete work of the Lord's sayings. So Mark made no mistake in writing some things just as he had noted them. For he was careful of this one thing, to leave nothing he had heard out and to say nothing falsely." (Guelich xxvi)
If Papias's account is accurate, we learn several things about the author of the second Gospel from it: (1) the author's name was "Mark"; (2) this "Mark" was Peter's "interpreter," i.e., someone who tried to give an accurate and complete account of Peter's anecdotal preaching and teaching about Jesus's ministry; (3) the author was not an eyewitness of the things he wrote about; (4) the author was a disciple of Peter ("he followed Peter"). In Eusebius's original Greek, the claim that the author wrote "not in order" seems to mean that he did not aim to arrange the anecdotes in an artistic or aesthetically pleasing order (Guelich xxvii).
Later 2nd-century corroborations of this traditional view (e.g., by Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria) seem to rely on Papias, and thus are not independent sources (Guelich xxvi). So, the real question is, what should we make of Papias's account? Predictably, scholars are divided over its historical value: some accept it entirely while others reject it entirely. The most reasonable view seems to be somewhere in between.
The material in Mark does not seem to derive from a single source (Guelich xxvii), so it seems unlikely that Mark is simply a compilation of materials deriving from a single person (e.g., notes on Peter's preaching). Thus, to that extent, Papias's account seems incorrect.
But, even if we reject that aspect of Papias's account, there is good reason to accept the idea that someone named "Mark" compiled the document from several sources. This idea fits with the title, "The Gospel according to Mark," which shows up on later manuscripts—a piece of evidence that seems to be independent of Papias's account (Guelich xxvii-xxviii). Thus, two seemingly independent sources tell the same story, which lends the story credibility.
Conspiracy Theory?
Of course, the fact that Papias's claim is consistent with the title of later manuscripts does not definitively settle the matter. It could still be that Papias made some sort of mistake, or, worse, that he lied to boost the credibility of the Gospel, and that the second-century Church continued in the error or lie.
However, the conspiracy-theory version of this objection seems pretty unlikely. After all, if you were trying to tell a lie that would boost the credibility of the second Gospel, why would you associate it with a guy named Mark? There is no one especially important named Mark in the New Testament documents; in fact, I will suggest below that the Mark of the New Testament might be a somewhat awkward choice if you were trying to boost the credibility of the Gospel. Yes, Mark's purported association with Peter would be some help, but if you really wanted to boost credibility, wouldn't it be much better to choose "Peter" or "Paul," both of whom were Apostles with a closer association to Jesus?
The New Testament as a Historical Source
Now, if the best story is that someone named "Mark" wrote the second Gospel, who exactly was this person? More specifically, what should we make of Papias's claim that Mark was a disciple of Peter? The best source of information about the author seems to be other New Testament documents—especially Acts, 1 Peter, Colossians, and Philemon.
But, before jumping into specific passages, it's important to think about what I'm doing, here, in consulting other parts of the New Testament. The New Testament (and scripture in general) can be thought of in at least two ways. First, we can think of it as divinely inspired. Thought of in that way, we might take the teaching of scripture to be authoritative and infallible (a subject for another time).
However, we can also think of scripture more narrowly as a compilation of old documents that reflect the culture and events of the time in which they were written. Understood in this second way, we can look to scripture as a source of historical information, though perhaps not an infallible one. While I do believe scripture is divinely inspired in the sense described above, in this post I am relying on scripture merely as a source of historical information.
Who Was "Mark"?
Returning to the main thread, then, in Acts we learn about a young man named John, "whose other name was Mark" (Acts 12:12, 12:25). It seems this John-Mark was the son of Mary, a wealthy follower of Jesus who owned a house in Jerusalem where followers of Jesus sometimes met to pray (Acts 12:12). It also seems he was a cousin of Barnabas (one of Paul's associates) (Colossians 4:10) who joined Paul and Barnabas as an assistant on their first missionary journey to Cyprus and southern Galatia (modern Turkey) around 47 CE (Acts 13:1-5).
Now the awkward part: Apparently John-Mark abandoned their mission after the boat ride from Cyprus to Perga and returned to Jerusalem prematurely (Acts 13:13). His departure became a sore spot between Paul and Barnabas and eventually led to their parting ways on a second missionary journey: Paul took Silas as his partner instead of Barnabas since Barnabas wanted to take John-Mark again (Acts 15:36-41).
(To add to my counter-conspiracy argument above, I ask you: what interest would a conspirator have in attributing the second Gospel to a flighty, unreliable young man who caused the break-up of an all-star missionary team? If I were lying about who wrote the second Gospel to give it more credibility, this is not the guy I'd pick. So, again, if the John-Mark of Acts is Papias's Mark, his awkward history lends credibility to Papias's claim that Mark wrote it, since there is little reason to offer it as a lie.)
It seems Paul eventually forgave John-Mark and gave him a second chance, since he later calls him a "fellow worker" (Philemon 24) and gives instructions to the church at Colossae to "welcome him" if he visits (Colossians 4:10).
Finally, the most relevant text for my purpose is 1 Peter 5:13, in which the Apostle Peter writes from Rome ("Babylon") and refers to Mark as his "son". Such a reference likely indicates not a biological relationship, but rather a close discipleship relationship of the sort Papias uses to describe Mark's relationship with Peter. (Beginning with the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels, the New Testament often uses familial metaphors to describe the relationships between followers of Jesus).
Thus, if the "Mark" and "John-Mark" of the New Testament are the same "Mark" mentioned by Papias as the author of the second Gospel, it seems that the New Testament documents corroborate Papias's claim that the author named Mark was a disciple of Peter.
Final Doubts?
Of course, we can still doubt all this. Papias's account may yet be incorrect (though a conspiracy theory seems bunk), and the title later added to the second Gospel ("The Gospel according to Mark") could simply follow Papias in his error (though the title seems independent, as noted above).
Some (though far from all) scholars have also doubted that the "John-Mark" of the New Testament is the same "Mark" that Papias mentions. After all, "Mark" was a very common Roman name. Finally, some (though, again, far from all) scholars have also doubted that the Apostle Peter really wrote 1 Peter, which, if true, would undermine the support I see for the discipleship relation between Peter and Mark. The fact is, the historical evidence for the traditional view of the authorship of Mark is not copious or bullet-proof.
Nevertheless, there is some decent evidence. There are several seemingly independent historical sources that corroborate the view. Thus, at the very least one would not be irrational to hold the traditional view. It is not obviously false. In fact, it seems quite plausible to me.
Assessing Ehrman's Claims
On the evidence I have presented, the author of Mark would indeed have been a "second-generation" Christian (i.e., a disciple of one of Jesus's original disciples), and he likely would have written the Gospel immediately before or soon after Peter's death, which is thought to have occurred between 64 and 68 CE, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero. So, Ehrman would be correct in these claims.
However, I see no reason for these facts alone to impugn the author's or the Gospel's credentials. If the author was the Mark of the New Testament who had a close association with Peter, even if he wrote slightly after Peter's death (e.g., by 70 CE) he would presumably have discussed with Peter the episodes and teachings in the Gospel at length before Peter's death. Indeed, it seems quite plausible that Peter's death could have finally convinced Mark to write down all this stuff they'd been discussing for years, so that the memories wouldn't be lost with Peter.
In short, Ehrman's thin argument gives us no good reasons to doubt the traditional view of the authorship of the Gospel according to Mark. Indeed, the evidence I have marshaled here makes the traditional view seem quite plausible to me. Thus, contrary to Ehrman, I also see no good reason, here, to doubt that the content of the second Gospel authentically derives from the life and teachings of Jesus.

As a response to part of the arguments of the lack of direct connection with Jesus by those who wrote the gospels I wonder if the tradition of oral story telling is something we have forgotten to consider. We certainly do not rely on that and call it "hearsay". Wasn't the oral tradition reliable and informative? I keep coming back to the importance of the message and how that was inspired.
aaronmead on June 27, 2018 at 8:01 am said:
As usual, you raise great issues, Dad. Thanks for the comment.
Yes, oral tradition is a crucial part of the equation in all this. If the earliest Gospel, Mark, was written between 65 and 70 CE, then there was clearly a long period between Jesus's death (around 33 CE) and the composition of the Gospels when accounts of his teachings and actions were transmitted orally (though there may also have been other earlier written sources that we no longer have). And, yes, I believe oral tradition was reliable and informative in that culture–more than merely playing the "telephone game" where everything gets garbled. The idea of oral tradition is also something that Ehrman questions in his book, and something I plan to address after responding to his challenges about the authorship of the Gospels. I'm taking it step-by-step, here, since my space in each post is limited.
The importance of the message and the inspiration of scripture is also key, as you say. I touched on it briefly in this post (though only to set it aside for now), and I plan to address it in more depth in a later post–probably when I address the authorship of the Gospel of John.
Thanks for your continued careful reading!

What's Spinning Me #23: The Maine
By Shoemaker13	in lifestyle, Preforming Arts, Uncategorized	on April 9, 2019 April 9, 2019
Let me paint a scene for you. The year is 2019 and you are driving down a desert highway, driving at about 80 miles an hour. The sun is setting and the time is about 730pm. You are behind the wheel of a 1967 black Ford Mustang Fastback and the one you love is next sitting next you or maybe it's just the next one to get to "the one". The wind blows your hair back as you speed on towards the night and blaring through your speakers is the song Heaven, We're Already Here by. The Maine. The perfect getaway song for two highway lovers/outlaws speeding away as if they robbed a bank and burned it down…
My name is David Shoemaker and welcome to latest issue of What's Spinning Me. What was aforementioned in the paragraph before is a description of what goes through my mind while listening to The Maine's new album You Are Ok, which is the album of focus on today's issue of What's Spinning Me.
The Maine released their seventh album You Are Ok Friday March 29, 2019 through the band's own record label 8123. The Maine welcomed a "New Era" of the band, an ongoing theme as each album is released. The Maine created a new vibe, a new era, and something completely than before. Lovely Little Lonely was the band's prior release, which debut two years ago in 2016.
The Maine's Lovely Little Lonely
The songs Numb Without You, My Best Habit, and Broken Parts were the three singles released in promotion of You Are Ok, respectively. The new album features 10 tracks, perfectly placed one right after the other like the soundtrack to a feature film. The album brings about a grand feel to it, a monumental vibe that makes you feel good to be alive, even if you don't feel good to be alive. The songs paint those rare moments you either experience privately or something you would see in a indie romantic comedy. You Are Ok makes you feel something you have before or something you have yet to feel.
The Maine is currently on a headlining Spring Tour in support of the new album. The tour will stretch out from now until mid June of this year, there will be two dates ( May 4 and May 5) here in Vegas at the House Of Blues inside the Mandalay Hotel and Casino.
I would like to state that I personally love this album! Before I move forward, I will state that You Are Ok is my current Album of The Year for 2019 with Anteros' debut album When We Land as a close second! You Are Ok receives five out of five spins and is a near perfect album!
My personal favorites on You Are Ok are; Heaven, We're Already Here, Tears Won't Cry (SHINJU), One Sunset, Slip The Noose, and Flowers On The Grave. If I could I would quote the whole album lyrically, because it is a poem from start to finish. As always, I will leave with you my favorite lyrics from the aforementioned album. First one being from the song Slip The Noose.
Oh, just slip the noose/ untie the rope from my wrists/ I was about to let go until I knew you existed./ Breakdown hysteric and young/Uncomfortably numb/ Then you sent my pain into oblivion/I was on the verge of breaking down, then you came around and not a second too late
It really sets up the pace of the album. My second favorite lyrics is taken from the song Heaven, We're Already Here
Blessed be the night we're breathing in/ Unforgettable and so benevolent/ The closest that we'll get to heaven sent for all us darling aliens./ We will never be this young again/ so full of fire and rebellion/ Now shoot the night just like it's medicine and we all will be born again
The last one is from the tune My Best Habit
To you I don't exist, ain't what you're lookin' for/ Good thing I don't exist for you at all anymore/So, if you're waiting on the sunshine, blue sky, cheap high, lullaby then my best habit is letting you down
Y'all be sure to give this album a listen! The Maine hands down created a work of magic and art. I whole heartily believe that no matter the mood, You Are Ok will make you OK.

Understanding Sequencing Methodology
Feb 2, 2021 • 2 min read
Nucleic acids are the "building blocks" of life; they determine all inherited characteristics in life and direct the process of protein synthesis. These important biomolecules create, encode and store information in all cells.
DNA, RNA, mRNA, tRNA are types of nucleic acids and these are made up of a chain of nucleotides stretching from as few as three to millions.
Each nucleotide in DNA contains one of four possible nitrogenous bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). RNA nucleotides have the same adenine, guanine and cytosine bases but instead of thymine they have uracil (U).
Nucleic acid sequencing is the method for determining the exact order nucleotides present in a piece or strand of DNA or RNA.
The use of this exceedingly important methodology has increased exponentially as the ability to sequence DNA and RNA has become more and more accessible to both researchers and clinicians, alike. Most of this improved access is due to the dramatic reduction in the cost associated with the sequencing methodology. The ability to sequence the DNA of both normal and abnormal cells has revolutionized our basic understanding of disease in both people and pets.
The first generation sequencing technology was developed in 1977 by Fred Sanger and was known as Sanger Sequencing.
This methodology was used during the Human Genome Project completed in 2003 and is still widely used today.
Sanger sequencing is based on the activity of a polymerase enzyme that binds to the single strand of DNA and fills in one nucleotide base at a time. As nucleotides (A, T, G and C) are added, it creates a double-stranded DNA from a single-stranded DNA template. Sanger methodology uses special nucleotides, dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs), that stops the DNA elongation process at very specific sites so that the size of the DNA strand can be calculated. Each of the 4 chain-terminating nucleotides are labeled with a different color dye. Light signals are analyzed by a computer to determine the sequence of the nucleotides and thus the DNA.
Using Sanger sequencing, Kerstin Lindblad-Toh and her team at the Broad Institute of MIT and Havard and Agencourt Bioscience Corp successfully assembled the genome of a Boxer in 2004.
The high demand of DNA sequencing after the Human Genome Project has driven the development of second-generation sequencing methodology.
The second generation technology also known as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) utilizes different technologies that enable rapid and high-throughput sequencing of DNA. There are a number of different NGS platforms, but all of them have one thing in common, they sequence millions of small fragments of DNA in parallel. NGS has largely supplanted first generation sequencing.
FidoCure® uses this newer technology to sequence the DNA of dog tumors.

It's no secret that I love to read. It's also no secret that I love using devotionals to grow my faith and that I often seek books for encouragement and information for parenting. You can imagine how much I love it when those things all come together in one package, right?
(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Searching for Sanity: 52 Insights from the Parents of the Bible by Lindsey Bell is like nothing I've read before. With devotions for 52 weeks, Searching for Sanity provides practical application, questions for reflection, prayers, and activities to last throughout the year. Parents from the Bible are the focus of each week's devotion, but reflection and life application are weaved in beautifully.
It's not just the popular crowd – I love that it doesn't focus on only the more well-known biblical parents. Achan, Jephithah, Jeroboam, and Korah don't often get the spotlight when parents in the Bible are discussed. Yet, in Searching for Sanity, we're reminded that we can learn from the lesser-knowns, too.
The good, bad, and extraordinarily human parents – I appreciate that the inspiring stories of parents like Hannah and Mary are included, but I equally appreciate the attention to the less-than-inspiring parenting. If you're like me, it's sometimes the stories of the extraordinarily human parents that teach me the most. I'll happily learn from the mistakes of others to keep myself from going down the wrong paths!
It's not overwhelming – Let's be honest, if you're going to commit to reading a book for an entire year, it can't become a chore. The daily and weekly chunks need to be short, sweet, and doable in this already too-busy world. The average weekly devotion in Searching for Sanity is only a couple of pages. As far as daily commitments are concerned, each week contains additional activities for five days. Not too much, not too little, and yet just enough to keep your focus on the point of each week's reading.
It provides flexibility – Each week comes with questions for reflection. I think these would be great to use as journal prompts throughout each week. They could be done all at once or spread out over a few days. If you're not into journaling, those questions can simply stay put at the end of each weekly devotion for you to answer however you like.
My only criticism of Searching for Sanity is that the book cover didn't suggest that it's a devotional. When I initially downloaded it, I had no idea it was a devotional. The title of the book intrigued me and I selected it based on that alone. Although I love devotionals, I'm not always in the market for a new one. To be fair, had I done a little reading on Amazon, I would've found more about the book type fairly quickly.
All in all, Searching for Sanity is a devotional that I happily recommend to other Christian parents. The lessons and encouragement shared each week are reminders that we all need to hear. Better yet, they're presented in a format that's easy to follow for busy parents, which is all of us, right?
Thanks so much for taking time to leave this thoughtful review of my book! And I'm so glad you enjoyed it:) Your review made my day. Thank you! PS If you have a few moments, I'd so appreciate you copying this review and posting it on Amazon, B&N, or Goodreads. Your review was so thorough that I know it will be very helpful to other shoppers.

'In The Heights' review: buds and bangers on Lin-Manuel Miranda's heady summer holiday
The Broadway legend's pre-'Hamilton' musical comes to the big screen
This dazzling adaptation of In The Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda's pre-Hamilton Broadway musical, begins with a jolt of social commentary. "And ever since the rents went up," raps bodega owner Usnavi (Hamilton's Anthony Ramos), "it's gotten mad expensive but we live with just enough." Urban gentrification isn't the only issue tackled by Miranda's genre-blending songs and Quiara Alegría Hudes' sleek screenplay. A few tunes later, on the hip-hop-influenced banger '96,000', Usnavi's teenage nephew Sonny (Gregory Diaz IV) opines that "racism in this nation's gone from latent to blatant". In the Heights is definitely rooted in real life, but as befits a big, buoyant musical movie, the end result is uplifting rather than gritty.
Set in Washington Heights, a Manhattan neighbourhood with a large Latin American community, it's an ensemble piece built around the ambitious Usnavi. While saving to buy back his dad's old beach bar in the Dominican Republic, Usnavi is trying to woo Vanessa (Melissa Barrera), a local nail technician who dreams of becoming a dress designer. Usnavi's friends and neighbours include Nina (Leslie Grace), a high achiever on vacation from an Ivy League college, and Benny (Straight Outta Compton's Corey Hawkins), a principled cab dispatcher who works for Nina's father Kevin (TV legend Jimmy Smits). Their intertwining stories unfold in straightforward dialogue and Miranda's vibrant songs, which cleverly blend elements of Latin American genres like salsa and merengue with soaring Broadway choruses and the odd hip-hop beat. 'Breathe', a standout ballad about struggling to live up to other people's expectations, really gives Grace a chance to show off her vocal range.
'In The Heights' features a splashy set piece at the Highbridge Park Outdoor Pools in New York. CREDIT: Warner Bros.
Director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) captures the intimacy of this close-knit community without skimping on big-screen spectacle. His sweeping overhead shots of Manhattan heighten the excitement of epic song-and-dance numbers that are already teeming with energy. A splashy set piece filmed at the Highbridge Park Outdoor Pools in real-life Washington Heights is especially eye-popping. He's helped by Christopher Scott's expert choreography and a fantastic ensemble cast: everyone from dramatic salon owner Daniela (Broadway stalwart Daphne Rubin-Vega) to her chic employee Cuca (Orange Is The New Black's Dascha Polanco) really tear into their solo parts.
Despite its strong social conscience and compelling characters, In the Heights is a little light on dramatic tension, though it does pull off a minor plot twist at the finish. A mid-film blackout that plunges the neighbourhood into darkness was probably more effective on stage, where it neatly delineated the first and second acts. Still, this doesn't spoil a film that blends melody, energy and spectacle into an enormously enjoyable package. You'll leave with a smile on your face wanting to stream the soundtrack – a sure sign of a job well done.

Ann Arbor City Council Preview: July 6, 2020
Today is the first #a2council meeting of July. Here's the agenda.
The evening kicks off with a 26 item deep consent agenda. CA-3 and CA-4 are resolutions to enter participation agreements with Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission to purchase some properties. CA-26 is the new contract with the AAPD union. My understanding is that this has not changed from the last time it was on the consent agenda.
There are two public hearings on the docket. PH-1/B-1 is the second reading of an ordinance that modifies Chapter 55, the old Unified Development Code. If memory serves this cleans up some redundancies and confusing areas in the code. PH-2/B-2 is the second reading of an ordinance modifying the Housing Commission Ordninace. I have not looked into this that much.
On to the resolutions. DC-1 is an ordinance to supporting the EPA's active involvement in the Gelman Site. Will this be postponed yet again? Is the seventh time a charm? DC-3 is healthy downtown streets. I think this removes on street parking in some select streets to expand the area that pedestrians and cyclists can use and be safely distant cause of COVID. Seems like a good idea. It was postponed at the last #a2council meeting.
Be warned gentle reader, things are getting spicier as we go. DC-9 is a moratorium on all new development or expansion of existing development that requires site plan approval in the C1A and C1A/R zoning districts, or rezonings to C1A or C1A/R. This seems pretty narrowly tailored to target the Morningside Development. If you'd like to learn more read Scott Trudeau's letter to council about this rezoning.
DC-11 is a resoulution to support HB 4738, a statewide crosswalk law that seems like it would replace Ann Arbor's stricter Pedestrian Safety Ordinance. The state law would require pedestrians to physically enter a crosswalk to make a driver yield to them. Ann Arbor's ordinance is much better because it requires drivers to yield to pedestrians who are waiting to cross at a marked crosswalk. There is an incorrect narrative that Ann Arbor's crosswalk ordinance has lead to an increase in pedestrians being hit by drivers. The majority of pedestrians who are hit by drivers are hit when drivers are turning and fail to yield to pedestrians at intersections. These situations are not covered by the crosswalk ordinance. The real tragedy of DC-11 is that recently Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo have adopted crosswalk ordinances that are modeled after Ann Arbor's. It would be a shame to eliminate those city's ordinances in addition to Ann Arbor's. Scott Trudeau also wrote about this.
Finally I want to talk about DS-1, pre-entitlement for 415 W. Washington, the old County Road Commission Building. This is essentially pre-approving a specific plan for the site before selling it to a developer. The plan is to use the proceeds from this site to fund affordable housing so it makes sense to approve a moderate density development to maximize the money the city can dedicate to affordable housing. Earning himself a hat trick, Scott Trudeau also wrote about this.
Gentle reader, I am probably forgetting some very important items here. What agenda items are you most looking forward to seeing. I am guessing that tonight will be another late night around the virtual council table. Hopefully we will see you there. The CTN stream starts at 7 pm. Make sure you follow the action on the #a2council hashtag.
Posted by Ben Connor Barrie at 12:15 AM
"The majority of pedestrians who are hit by drivers are hit when drivers are turning and fail to yield to pedestrians at intersections. These situations are not covered by the crosswalk ordinance." How does this disprove the fact that there was a rapid increase in reported pedestrian/vehicle crashes after the ordinance was implemented at the end of 2010? Most pedestrian/vehicle crashes being at intersections would be true both before and after the law change. Where was the safety improvement?--It is not a measure of the percentage of cars stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks!
Glad to see people digging into the crash data, the authors of the original pedestrian crosswalk law had no intention of doing that despite claiming that the law was going to improve safety. We need less specious analysis of the actual crash data--love the way your so confident that, "There is an incorrect narrative that Ann Arbor's crosswalk ordinance has lead to an increase in pedestrians being hit by drivers" You have yet to prove it!

Now that I felt rejuvenated after enjoying a fun filled long weekend with my family, I decided to clean my pantry and to take a stock check of what all I have in there and clean up the mess if any (a part of my resolution for this year..not to let the grocery go waste).
While doing the stock check I found that I have very good quality Soybeans which were completely neglected by me. This packet of beans looked at me very angrily and castigated me to overlook it's presence, not fair, not fair it said. So in the urge to finish these extremely healthy and nutritious beans I soaked them all overnight without thinking what I will do with them (did I decide that I will plan out things well in advance as a part of my new year resolution?). I just told myself I will make something interesting.
Just before I decided to retire to bed I was attacked by another thought… I have not thought about breakfast. These days I plan and keep my veggies and other ingredients ready for morning as I feel too lazy to come out of the comforter…so cold it is!!!!! Instantly with no second thoughts I decided to soak some rice….Yes, you guessed it right! I surely had Adai in my mind. I did think wisely, right!!!
Adai are Indian pancakes made from rice and legumes. It's a kind of Dosa and very popular in Tamilnadu. These pancakes have a crisp outer texture and are soft inside. Served with Chutney or Podi they make a filling breakfast/ lunch/ dinner.
Soybeans are extremely nutritious, it contains carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals like calcium, folic acid and iron. The protein in soybean has all the essential amino acids that is adequate for human health. It has high lecithin content and is therefore excellent for mental fatigue and for protection against cholesterol deposits. Lecithin is a brain food, a tonic and energizer.
I found this as a good way to provide a PROTEIN PACKED MEAL for the kids, an ideal way to add soybean to our diet.
As I have mentioned that I soaked things without any measurements so I am providing you with approx quantities.
Grind together soybeans, ginger, green chilies to a paste ( keep it a little coarse).
Grind rice separately to a not so fine paste.
Mix the two and add all the other ingredients. I would definitely recommend the addition of fennel seeds which imparts excellent taste to this Adai. Add water to adjust the consistency of a dosa batter.
Heat the girdle and smear it with some oil. Take a ladle full of batter and spread it in concentric circles. These are not made very thin and are slightly thicker than the normal dosa.
With the help of an oil dropper spread some oil in the centre and the sides. When one side is done and is nicely golden brown in colour flip and cook the other side. The edges of Adai are not as even and smooth as that of a Dosa, so do not panic..
When both the sides are done, serve it hot with with coconut or any other tangy, spicy chutney of your choice.
Do I really need to tell you that these are very very tasty and quite filling too…. . I am surely ready to make them again!!

Thanks Nandini for that encouraging statement.
Thank you Sushma and Chitchat. Hey I would love to know ur name.
Thanks Lena for following me, I am glad you liked my blog. Will love to interct with you.
This looks appetising and healthy. Thanks for sharing.
Great one indeed. This reminds me of my Korea days...I really used to love a dosa type of thing made out of fermented soya rice mix...and with grated vege...( You dont get dosa there unless a friend from south invites :-).
If I am back in Korea , I will surprise my friends with this, the Indian version..
Wat a healthy n crispy dosa, looks fantastic Pari..
Innovative way to prepare this with soybeans !
Ushnish da I do want to try the fermented version again, had made it few years back, I did not have a blog then to save my recipe.
Thanks Kanchan, Priya and Mye for your lovely comments.
that's indeed a great way of using soybeans.
That's a great idea Pari. I'm going to try this one very soon. Happy New Year.
Excellent, excellent. Well written and photographed. Thank you so much. I am interested in trying "exotic" (to this New England Yankee, anyway!) foods and your post has given me the confidence to try. I'll need to make a trip to the health food store because our regular grocers does not carry the soy beans. This sounds good!
Thanks Aquadaze and Madhuram for appreciating my recipe.
Dear Katy, you made my day,I am genuinely touched by your comment. I am indeed very happy that you liked the post, coming from you means a lot to me. Do try it and let me know.
Thats wonderful crispy and healthy adai.. I love it.
Belated wishes for the happy new year to you and your family!!
Soya adai sounds great recipe!
Yum! this looks just delicious!
Pari, didn't I tell you that I'll try it soon. I did it already and we all liked it very much. I used pot barley instead of the rice and made it as plain dosas instead of adai. That is, I did not add the onions and spices. Just used the plain batter with spicy chutney. Thank you very much for this simple and healthy recipe.
Healthy packed goodness! I love adai, but for some reason nver make it:-( Liked your use of soy here.
Fennel seed does sound like a wonderful addition, just that little bit of anise flavor. Lovely.
Dear Madhuram, I am glad you tried itand liked it.Now I must try your version. I might not get pot barley here, but pearl barley is readily available.
Susan fennel surely adds an excellent flavour and I insist on it's add.
Shubha, I am so glad I did the stock check, should do it more regularly now.Definitely forces you to search for new..
Dear Pavithra and Soma, many thanks for visiting my blog. Soma do try this version and you will keep making adai for sure.
Uma looking forward to read ur version dear. That's so generous of you to say like that, you are an excellent cook.
After your comment on my blog I had to come and check out your adai. That is a very healthy and nutritious Pari. I am not sure we get soybeans here but I will look for them the next time I go to the Indian grocery.
Thanks Jaya for dropping by and reading the post, truly appreciate that. I hope you find the beans. Keep visiting dear :-).
Your adai is healthy and what a way to incorporate soy to the diet and get proteins..
Thanks for visiting ruchikacooks pari. I am adding yours to my blog roll, dont want to miss all these recipes.

During my tenure as a Blaine County commissioner, I found Gene Ramsey to be a superb manager as chief deputy sheriff, and since appointed as sheriff has been a very good communicator, excellent to work with and well liked by all the staff. He has the necessary experience to manage the complex functions of the patrol, jail and civil divisions as well as the Ketchum Police Department, for which he is responsible.
There is no doubt that he has served the public for the past 31 years with honesty and integrity. Please join me on Nov. 6 and vote for Gene Ramsey for Blaine County sheriff.

of £4 million in environmentally responsible packaging company. Ludgate Environmental Fund Limited ("LEF" or the "Fund") has completed its investment of £4 million into Rapid Action Packaging Limited ("RAP" or the "Company").
RAP specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of innovative, ergonomic, cost effective and environmentally responsible packaging systems particularly for the "food on the move" marketplace.
LEF has invested £4 million into RAP; £1.5 million in ordinary shares and £2.5 million in Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock ("CULS"). This investment is part of a wider placing of £6.125 million (the "Placing") comprising £2 million of ordinary shares and £4.125 million of CULS. The 3 year CULS carry an 8% p.a. coupon payable semi-annually in arrears and are convertible into ordinary shares of RAP. LEF led the Placing and was joined by two co-investors who are current shareholders in LEF and also by Joint Funding Partners Limited, an existing shareholder in RAP.
The funds raised from the Placing have been used to refinance loan capital in the Company and to accelerate RAP's next stage of growth with a strong focus on further expansion of the Company's international business. Nick Pople, Director of Ludgate Investments Ltd, LEF's Investment Adviser, has joined the Board of RAP.
RAP designs and manufactures award winning, innovative, cost effective and environmentally responsible packaging solutions. Product design, sales and administration and production are based in the Republic of Ireland (Donegal) and the UK with the Company's UK head office in London. The Company also licenses the production and sale of certain products to third parties in Korea, Malaysia and the US.
RAP's unique packaging solutions combine the benefits of both paper and film technologies to improve packaging as a vital tool in sales growth for food retailers whilst also putting a strong emphasis on environmental performance and responsibility.
All RAP's products are available in fully compostable and biodegradable materials. Raw materials are sourced sustainably and the design of RAP's finished products not only leads to raw material 'source reduction' but also, through their flat-pack form ensures that distribution and storage have a lower environmental impact.
RAP's current customers include most of the large supermarkets companies and some of the world's leading quick service restaurant companies. Established in 1997 to exploit the packaging design innovations of founder, Julian Money, RAP has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Turnover has increased in 2007 by some 40% to £11million, mainly in the UK, and RAP is now trading on a profitable basis. Similar rates of growth are being experienced in Asia where RAP licenses production and distribution to third parties. In the US RAP has recently agreed the terms for the manufacture and distribution of certain of its products.
Ludgate Environmental Fund is a Jersey domiciled closed-ended investment company, listed on AIM. The Fund was launched in August 2007, raising £26.7 million at listing. A further £3.0 million was raised by the Fund in February 2008.

A middle-aged female patient with a depressive disorder presented to a mental hospital because of a 2-month worsening history of headache, dizziness, and nausea. The next morning, she was observed to be sleeping, but was then found dead 1. h later. Postmortem computed tomography and autopsy revealed a large cyst in the right cerebellar hemisphere, hydrocephalus, and transforaminal herniation. Careful observation revealed an approximately 0.4. cm. ×. 0.8. cm slightly grayish discoloration in the cyst wall that was diagnosed as hemangioblastoma based on its histological features.Finally, we concluded that the cause of death in this case was attributable to the brain stem compression, which was caused by obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to the cystic hemangioblastoma in the cerebellum. The symptoms for 2 months before her death had most likely resulted from increased intracranial pressure. Hemangioblastomas usually appear as nodules in the wall of the cyst, but the tumor in our case looked like just a slightly grayish discoloration. Therefore, cystic lesions in the CNS need to be carefully examined.

AFTanith 4/01/2013 Picture Book Review
The Berenstain Bears' Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze by Stan Berenstain and Jan Berenstain
My rating: ★☆☆☆☆
Apparently, one of the Berenstains really had a problem with Beanie Babies. Normally, Berenstain Bears books have a moral; in a Berenstain Bears book referencing Beanie Babies, one would expect a "don't get caught up in fads" moral. And that's here… if you squint really, really hard.
Perhaps that's what they wanted readers to take away from the story, but after finishing it, I stared at the page in disbelief for a moment, then checked the publishing date. Apparently back in 1999, the Berenstains hated Beanie Babies so freakin' much that they felt the need to write a whole book about it. If they were going for a fad moral, they missed their mark by a long short. There is not a single reference to the existence of other fads in this book. As a matter of fact, I just double-checked, and the word fad isn't even in the book. So the moral one would expect is already out the window, and in it's place, one is left with nothing to take away from this besides, "Wow, the Berenstains sure do hate Beanie Babies."
The reasoning they offer as to why Beanie Babies-oh, excuse me, "Beary Bubbies"-are ridiculous is ridiculous itself. "You can't play dolly with them," the book says. "You can't play choo-choo with them…You couldn't play baseball with them…" Um, duh? They're not dolls, they're not trains, and they're definitely not baseballs. They're stuffed animals. If you can't find a game to play with your stuffed animals (I always did), you can at least cuddle them or something. And for the record, Mr. and Mrs. Berenstain, I can't play "dolly", "choo-choo", or baseball with your book, either.
"All you could do was look at them." Or you could use your imagination. Because your target audience and your characters are young children.
"The only thing you could really do with them is brag about how many you had….And no matter how many you had, there was always somebody who had more." Because, obviously, that's what toys are for.
See, that's a moral they could have squeezed out of that if they weren't so wrapped up in their incredibly odd anti-Beanie Baby rage. See, there are two perfectly valid reasons to own Beanie Babies: you either play with them or you collect them.
Moral Option A: Buy toys (and possessions in general) that you have an interest in, not toys that other people have an interest in. And certainly not toys you think can make you a quick profit (which is Papa Bear's interest in Beary Bubbies).
Moral Option B: Don't make toys (and possessions in general) a contest. Get what you want, get what you need, and leave everything else the hell alone.
But neither of these ideas is explored in the story; they're there, but you have to squint if you want to spot them, and so the target audience isn't likely to notice any kind of lesson. So when one gets to the line, "And no matter how many you had, there was always somebody who had more." and turn the page, one expects to have at least a brief comment about why toys need to be valued as toys and not a contest. But nope. Instead we get:
PAPA BEAR: Now what do you suppose that was all about?
BROTHER BEAR: I really don't know.
So, really, the book had the same reaction to its plot that I did.

Johnny Carson's Former Malibu Oceanfront Mansion is Listed for $81.5 Million
Johnny Carson's former Malibu oceanfront mansion is listed for $81.5 million. According to Robb Report, the four bedroom home hit the luxury real estate market earlier this month for $81.5M. The four bedroom home is located high above the Point Dume bluffs and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. See Robb Report article
Johnny Carson, the legendary host of the The Tonight Show lived at the residence for 20 years. The home was built by modernist architect Ed Niles in 1978 and features 30-foot glass walls offering stunning views. The property also features a saltwater swimming pool, koi pond and tennis pavilion. According to Robb Report, 'the 7,083 square foot estate is currently owned by film producer Sidney Kimmel and his wife Caroline, who bought the property in 2007.'
Douglas Elliman knows California's luxury real estate market. This summer, Elliman acquired the Beverly Hills-based Teles Properties, a fast-growing firm that claimed $3.4 billion in revenue last year. The acquisition added 20 offices and 500 luxury agents to Elliman's California operation. What does this mean for Douglas Elliman clients? The expansion translates into an even broader network of luxury agents working together to connect buyers and sellers across the nation. It also strengthens the Elliman brand as a luxury leader solidifying the firm's new marketing campaign; It's Time for Elliman.
Whether you are looking to buy or sell a luxury home in California, New York or South Florida, Douglas Elliman agents, Nicholas Malinosky and Randy Ely are ready to discuss your luxury real estate goals. Contact Randy & Nick for more details.

The term software language comprises all sorts of artificial languages used in software development including general-purpose programming languages, domain-specific languages, modeling and meta-modeling languages, data models, and ontologies. Used in its broadest sense, examples include modeling languages such as UML-based and domain-specific modeling languages, business process modeling languages, and web application modeling languages. The term "software language" also comprises APIs and collections of design patterns that are implicitly defined languages.
Software language engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, use, and maintenance of these languages. Thus, the SLE conference is concerned with all phases of the lifecycle of software languages; these include the design, implementation, documentation, testing, deployment, evolution, recovery, and retirement of languages. Of special interest are tools, techniques, methods and formalisms that support these activities. In particular, tools are often based on or even automatically generated from a formal description of the language. Hence, of special interest is the treatment of language descriptions as software artifacts, akin to programs - while paying attention to the special status of language descriptions, subject to tailored engineering principles and methods for modularization, refactoring, refinement, composition, versioning, co-evolution, and analysis.
