What historical evidence is there for the resurrection of Jesus? I think there is an abundance of historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. First off, let me briefly explain the approach I'm going to take so that the viewers will understand what I'm doing. I'm going to be using what's called a Minimal Facts approach. The Minimal Facts are only using data that have a lot of evidence for them, and nearly universally accepted by scholars who study the subject, even skeptical non-Christian scholars.
Secondly, while I will be appealing to some of the New Testament documents in my argument for the resurrection, I'm not quoting from The Bible to prove The Bible. I want to make that absolutely clear. I am not quoting from The Bible to prove The Bible. Instead, I'm merely treating the New Testament documents are merely a set of ancient documents that claim to be able to tell us things about Jesus. I will think appeal various "Tests Of Authenticity" to the text. These historical "Tests" are what historians use when examining secular, non-biblical documents. Like the principle of multiple attestation, the principle of embarrassment, the principle of enemy attestation, the principle of dissimilarity etc. etc. In fact, skeptical non-Christians scholars use these principles when examining the New Testament documents and have come to the same conclusions I'm about to argue for. So before you say that I'm appealing to The Bible to prove The Bible, let me just say that I am not. I'm not arguing that "It's in The Bible so it must be true!" No, no. I am not appealing to the New Testament Gospels and epistles as a divinely inspired scripture. Rather, I'm taking the documents of the New Testament and are applying the same historical principles of testing that historians use in examining other, non-biblical documents. It should be said though I will look at extra biblical evidence in addition to the New Testament documents.
Now, onto the evidence. What are the minimal facts that need to be explained?
Number 1: Jesus Died By Crucifixion.
Number 2: His Tomb Was Found Empty The Following Sunday Morning
Number 3 : His 12 Disciples believed they saw Him alive after Jesus' Death
Number 4: The Church Persecutor Paul Converted Based On What He Believed Was An Appearance Of The Risen Jesus.
Number 5: The Skeptic James Converted Based On What He Believed Was An Appearance Of The Risen Jesus.
First, How Do We Know Jesus Died By Crucifixion?
We know this fact is true because it is mentioned in the writings of Josephus, Tacitus, Mara Bar Sarapion, Lucian Of Samosata's writings, Paul's epistles, and the 4 gospels. Because it's mentioned in all of these sources which don't rely upon one another. It is therefore multiply attested. Josephus tells us in his "Antiquities Of The Jews" that Jesus died by crucifixion at the hands of Pontius Pilate because the Sanhedrin pestered him to do so. Tacitus writes "Christus…was put to death by Pontius Pilate; procurator of Judea during the reign of Tiberius". Mara Bar Sarapian, writing to his son from prison states "What did the Jews gain from murdering their wise king? It was after that that their kingdom was abolished." Lucian was a second century Greek satirist. In one of his works, he wrote of the early Christians as follows: "The Christians . . . worship a man to this day--the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account. . ."
So Jesus' death by crucifixion is multiply attested in a minimum of 7 sources. 4 of them secular in nature. Why is this important? Because when historians are examining historical documents and are trying to figure out whether what they say is true, one of the principles they employ is called the principle of multiple attestation. What that means is that the more independent sources you find an event mentioned in, the more and more likely it is to be historical. So if you find an event mentioned in two independent sources, it's likely to be historical. If you find it in 3 independent documents. It's very likely to be historical. If it's found in 4 independent sources, it's very, very, very likely to be historical. The logic behind this is that the more sources an event is mentioned in, the less and less likely it becomes that ALL of these people independently fabricated the same fiction. With the crucifixion of Jesus, we have His death mentioned in 7 independent sources. What are the odds that all of these people would write the same fiction and treat is as history.
So, Jesus' death by crucifixion is a historical fact. In fact, John Dominic Crossan of the Jesus Seminar said "That Jesus died by crucifixion is as historical as anything can be."
How Do We Know Jesus' Tomb Was Empty?
If the religious leaders who had Jesus killed, and the Romans, or anybody really wanted to stomp out the Christian movement, all they would have had to do was go town to Jesus' tomb, pluck the body out of the tomb and parade it down the streets for all to see. Everyone who gazed upon the body of Jesus as they were parading it down the street would have been persuaded that Christianity was false. If they did that, Christianity would have died out before it even got off the ground. In other words, we would not be here having this debate.
However, Christianity is still alive today. It's still a dominate religion in the United States. Therefore, I conclude that the enemies of Christitanity (such as the Pharisees, The Romans, etc.) did not take Jesus' body out of the tomb and show it to everyone. Why? Very likely because Jesus' body wasn't even there to be taken out.
If Jesus' body were still in the tomb, they definitely would have paraded Jesus' body down the street to disprove the resurrection. But even if they didn't, anyone even the slightest bit skeptical of the disciples' claims could have gone down to the tomb, rolled back the stone with the help of a few other buddies…in order to see whether Jesus' body was still there. And those who know me know how I hate blind faith. If I were in Jerusalem in the first century, and a bunch of guys came to me and told me that a guy had risen from the dead, that's the first thing I would have done.
Another piece of evidence for the empty tomb is that all four gospel accounts feature women who discovered the tomb empty. In patriarchal Jewish society the testimony of women was considered as practically worthless! In fact, the Jewish historian Josephus says that women weren't even permitted to serve as witnesses in a Jewish court of law. Now in light of this fact, how remarkable it is that it is women who are the discoverers of Jesus' empty tomb. If the writers felt free to play loose with the facts, they would certainly have made male disciples like Peter and John discover the empty tomb. The fact that it is women, rather than men, who are the discoverers of the empty tomb is best explained by the fact that, like or not, they WERE the chief witnesses to the fact of the empty tomb, and the Gospel writers faithfully recorded what was, for them, a rather awkward and embarrassing fact.
Thus, we have certainty that the tomb of Jesus was empty by the principle of embarrassment. The principle of embarrassment says that if something is mentioned in history that is either embarrassing to the author or has potential for hurting the case they're trying to make, we have more certainty that it's historical than we would have without it. The logic behind this comes from the fact that people don't usually make up embarrassing details about themselves, and usually don't admit them even if they're true! People also don't make up details about a lie that appear implausible if they're trying to make that lie seem believable. Due to the fact that women were regarded as worthless witnesses, the disciples would likely make themselves seem less credible by adding this tidbit about the women if they were just making up the resurrection story. That would be to put words in the mouths of witnesses who would not likely be believed.
The third piece of evidence for empty tomb is that even the enemies of Christianity admitted it, albeit implicitly. What was the earliest Jewish polemic against the resurrection? That "these men are full of new wine"? That "Jesus' body still lay in the tomb"? No. They said that "the disciples came and stole away his body". Now think about that for a moment. "The disciples came and stole away his body". This is mentioned near the end of Matthews Gospel (chapter 28) and is an implicit admission that the tomb of Jesus was empty. This is powerful evidence due to a historian's principle known as The Principle Of Enemy Attestation.
Now, you might be wondering why we should view this a good evidence for the empty tomb, since it's comes from Matthew's gospel and not directly from the Jewish leadership themselves. It's not like it's coming out of a book written by Caiaphas where he writes "The tomb was empty because the disciples took his body" or anything. Couldn't Matthew have made this up simply to make the empty tomb story seem more credible? Well, no. I don't think so. Why is that?
First, Matthew reports that the Jewish leadership were spreading around this story "TO THIS DAY". "To this day". (Matthew 28:15). Now what does "to this day" mean? Matthew means that the Jews were spreading the Stolen Body Theory around the community even during the very time period that Matthew was writing his gospel! If the Jewish leadership were not spreading this story around, Matthew would open himself up to ridicule and discredit. People could easily point out Matthew as being a liar in this particular point of his story. Especially since it involves the Jewish Leadership, if they weren't spreading a Stolen Body Theory around, they could point Matthew out as being a liar. It's unlikely Matthew would open himself up to such easy falsifiability. Therefore, it's likely that they really were spreading this story around.
Moreover, what motive would Matthew have to make up this story anyway? Matthew is essentially bringing up an objection to the resurrection in his text. If nobody was claiming that they stole the body, why would Matthew say that they were? This would be answering an accusation that nobody made. If you one day discovered that your car was missing from your front yard, and you said outloud "Oh no! My car is gone! What happened to it!?" And your friend answered by saying "I don't know what happened to your car. But it's not like I stole it or anything!" That, in itself, would make your friend look very suspicious…since he'd be answering an accusation nobody made of him. You'd look at him funny and say "Uhh…I never said you stole my car. Wait, is there something you're not telling me?" Likewise, for Matthew to try to say "The body of Jesus is gone! But it's not like we stole it or anything!" would make himself look suspicious since he'd be answering an accusation nobody brought up. So it makes more sense to think they really were saying this.
Finally, the most powerful evidence for this is that it's multiply attested. For not only does Matthew say that the Jews were saying this, but Justin Martyr in the second century says that the Jews were saying this in his "Dialogue With Trypho", and Tertullian says the Jews were saying this in the third century. Therefore, it's multiply attested. Evidentally, this was the earliest response to the proclamation "He Is Risen" and it persisted throughout the second and third centuries.
How Do We Know The Disciples Saw Jesus Alive After His Death?
Now, onto the most important evidence for the resurrection. It's the most important because an empty tomb by itself proves little. The most powerful evidence for the resurrection is the postmortem appearances of Jesus.
Our best evidence comes from an early creed mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, recited by the Apostle Paul. Paul writes "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born."
Most scholars (even the non-Christian ones) date this creed to within 5 years of Jesus' death. But, how do we know it's a creed? We know it's a creed for at least 4 reasons.
1: Paul Alerts Us That He's Not Writing In His Own Hand. Paul alerts us that he's not writing in his own hand here. He writes "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance" Paul says essentially "I received this information from someone else, now I'm going to pass it onto you." So he's outright telling us that the information he's about to cite is information that he himself received and is about to pass on to his readers. Moreover, "received" and "passed on" was typical technical rabbinic language. Whenever a rabbi was passing on this tradition, he would use these terms.
2: The Language In verses 3-7 are Non-Pauline. According to most scholars, the language Paul uses here in this portion of the text is not characteristic of Paul. The grammatical style and word usage is unique here.
3: Paralellism Is Apparent In The Text. Paralellism is a type of writing that was found in ancient Greek poetry and other oral traditions. The style goes that the first line would be very long, followed by a short line. The third sentence would be very long (just like the first one), and then the next verse would be very short. We see this in 1 Corinthians 15.
"Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures," (long)
"and that He was buried" (short)
"and that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures" (long)
"and that He appeared…" (short)
4: Repeated use of the phrase "and that".
So clearly, this is an ancient creed used by the early church. It predates Paul's first letter to the Corinthian church (which most scholars date to about A.D 55). Now the question is, how much earlier? Well, Paul says "For what I received, I DELIVERED to you…" He says "I delivered to you". He's using the past tense. In other words, Paul is saying that the information he's about to give the Corinthians is information he's already given them. So Paul recited this creed to them during his first visit. But I think we can date it even earlier. In fact, to within 5 years of Jesus' death. How so? Because in Galatians 1, Paul is describing his conversion from skepticism. He describes how he persecuted the church (verses 13-14) that God revealed his son to him (verses 15-16), and then he went away into Arabia and then went to Damascus (verse 17). Paul then writes "Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord's brother." A good many non-Christian scholars think that this is probably when Paul received this creed. Three years after his conversion.
Notice then, that the resurrection claims can be traced to the eyewitnesses themselves. Paul conversed with Peter and James who in turned gave them this creed that included themselves as the risen Jesus. Moreover, this creed is so early that the resurrection cannot be written off as a mere legend. This is absolutely within the lifetimes of all of the eyewitnesses who could have come forward if this creed included false information about them. Peter, or James, or any of the 12 disciples, could have called Paul out as a liar if they didn't think they saw Jesus. But they probably wouldn't if they're the ones who gave Paul the creed to begin with (as the evidence seems to suggest).
These people must have seen Jesus. Why? Because if the people who originated this creed were simply making up these appearances, then the church to whom Paul is writing to could go question these witnesses, and if they really hadn't seen Jesus, then Paul would have been seen as a liar. In fact, they argue that this is precisely why he says that "Many of whom are still alive, but some have fallen asleep". It's almost as if Paul is challenging his readers to go to these people he just listed…in order to interview them. He's like "Don't believe me? Go check it out for yourselves!"
The appearances to the disciples is also multiply attested. Mentioned not only in this early creedal tradition, but also mentioned in all 4 gospels.
Even atheist scholar Gerd Ludemann has said "It may be taken as historically certain that Peter and the disciples had experiences after Jesus' death in which he appeared to them as the risen Christ" -- For a historian, and skeptic, no less, to say that something is historically certain speaks volumes about the evidence for that aspect of history.
"That Jesus' followers (and later Paul) had resurrection experiences is, in my judgment, a fact. What the reality was that gave rise to the experiences I do not know." (atheist E.P. Sanders, The Historical Figure of Jesus, pg 280)
"That the experiences did occur, even if they are explained in purely natural terms, is a fact upon which both believer and unbeliever can agree." (atheist Reginald H. Fuller, Foundations of New Testament Christology, 142)
"That Jesus' followers (and later Paul) had resurrection experiences is, in my judgment, a fact. What the reality was that gave rise to the experiences I do not know." (atheist E.P. Sanders, The Historical Figure of Jesus, pg 280)
"That the experiences did occur, even if they are explained in purely natural terms, is a fact upon which both believer and unbeliever can agree." (atheist Reginald H. Fuller, Foundations of New Testament Christology, 142)
The Conversion Of The Church Persecutor Paul
Probably one of the more profound of the appearances is that of Paul. We have excellent historical evidence that Paul was a persecutor of the early Christian church, but became a Christian evangelist who suffered greatly and on an ongoing basis because of his Christian faith, and ended up being martyred for the sake of the gospel.
How do we know Paul was a persecutor? We know this based on two of the historians principles; the principle of embarrassment, and the principle of multiple attestation.
First off, Paul mentions in his letter to the Corinthian church, his letter to the Galatian church, and his letter to the Philippian church, that he was a persecutor of the Christian church. From Paul's own pen he tells us that he killed some Christians and had others imprisoned. We know Paul is telling the truth based on the principle of embarrassment. If you're writing a letter to someone, are you just going to conjure up lies about how you killed innocent people? I don't think so. Even if you did kill innocent people, you most likely wouldn't own up to it. But you especially wouldn't mention it if it were not true. There's just no way that Paul would say something so shameful and disturbing about himself if it were not true. No one makes up the fact that they killed innocent people. In fact, people often times don't admit that even if it's true. But they especially don't mention it if it's not true. Based on the principle of embarrassment, I'm highly inclined to believe that Paul was telling the truth when he said that he was a persecutor of the church.
We also know he persecuted the church based on the principle of multiple attestation. Not only does Paul say he was an enemy of Christians, but Luke mentions it as well in the book of Acts. Paul and Luke are independent sources of one another, and therefore, there is multiple attestation of it.
So we've established using the historian's craft that Paul was a persecutor of the church. We know also that Paul became a Christian evangelist and suffered horribly for the gospel, and eventually was killed for it. Paul himself lists some of his sufferings for the sake of the gospels, but Luke records some of Paul's sufferings as well in the book of Acts. Again, Paul and Luke are independent of one another, and therefore, there is multiple attestation.
Paul's martyrdom is mentioned by several of the early church fathers. Tertullian, who wrote just before A.D 200, reports the martyred deaths of Peter and Paul. Clement of Rome also reports the martyred deaths of Peter and Paul. Polycarp mentions Paul's martyrdom. Origen also mentions the martyrdom of Paul, and so does Dionysis of Corthinth. In all, we have 7 independent sources that attest to the suffering and martyrdom of Paul. Therefore, Paul's suffering and martyrdom is multiply attested, and therefore, very, very likely to be a historical fact.
Now, given that we've established that Paul was a persecutor based on the historian's principle of embarrassment and the principle of multiple attestation, and we've established based on multiple attestation that Paul converted to Christianity and suffered and died because of it, how do we account for his? How do we account for Paul's radical, sudden change from Christian Destroyer to Christian Leader? From someone who caused martyrs deaths to someone who died a martyr's death himself? I can think of no other explanation than the one Paul himself gave, "Then he appeared to me also, as to one untimely born." (1 Corinthians 15:8)
The Conversion Of The Skeptic James
The Gospels tell us that Jesus had several siblings. Jesus' siblings included James, Jude, Simon, plus some sisters whose names are never given. James and his other brothers, we are told, were not believers during Jesus' lifetime.
How do we know this? How can the historical "tests of authenticity" or "historical principles" help us out here? We know that Jesus' brother James was a skeptic based on the principle of embarrassment. It was embarrassing for a rabbi's family to not accept him back in those days. It was embarrassing for a rabbi's family to be opposed to him in some way or another back in those days. So this isn't very flattering for Jesus. But it gets worse! Jesus' family thinks he's crazy! In fact, in one instance, they come to cease him and take him home! This doesn't paint Jesus or His family in a very good light, given the stigmatism back then. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that the gospel writers would have invented skepticism on the part of Jesus' brother James.
In fact, we have one fairly vicious story where the brothers of Jesus try to goad Him into a death trap by showing himself publicly at a feast when they knew that the Jewish leaders were trying to persecute and kill him (this is in John 7).
Moreover, we can affirm that James was a skeptic on the basis of multiple attestation. For not only does Mark mention it (chapter 3), but John mentions it as well (chapter 7). Mark and John are independent sources and therefore, James' skepticism is multiply attested. So, we've established that James was a skeptic.
Yet we know also that later in the early church James; the brother of Jesus emerges as one of the pillars of the New Testament church and one of the leaders of the church. This is mentioned in both the book of Acts as well as by Paul in his letter to the Galatians. Again, Paul and Luke are independently reporting about this. Thus, We know James became a leader in the early church based on the principle of multiple attestation.
In spite of Jame's skepticism, we have the testimony of Flavius Josephus, Hegesippus, and Clement Of Alexandria that James was martyred for his belief in his brother as the risen Christ. Now, how is this to be explained? 1 Corinthians 15 tells us that Jesus appeared to him or at least that James had some kind of experience that made James think that Jesus appeared to him. I think this is the best explanation for why James would be skeptical of his brother initially and then became a follower soon after his death.
Reginald H. Fuller who was a fairly liberal New Testament critic says "Even if there were not an appearance to James mentioned by Paul, we should have to invent one to explain the transformation that occurred in James between the time of his unbelieving days when Jesus was alive and his time of leadership in the early church"
Most of us have brothers. What would it take to make you believe that your brother is The Lord such that you would be willing to go to your death for this belief as James did when he was martyred by the Jewish Sanhedrin for his belief that Jesus was in fact the risen Lord? James' martyrdom is multiply attested by Flavius Josephus, Hegesippus, and Clement Of Alexandria.
What Can We Draw From This?
In summary, we have 5 facts surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus.
In his book "Justifying Historical Descriptions", CB McCullagh lists six steps which historians use for giving historical facts. They are explanatory scope, explanatory power, plausibility, not being ad hoc/contrived, being in accord of accepted beliefs, and outstripping its' rival theories. The hypothesis that God raised Jesus from the dead passes all of these tests.
Explanatory Scope: It explains why the tomb was empty, why hundreds of people had experiences of seeing Jesus alive after His death, and it also explains the conversion of the church persecutor Saul Of Tarsus (i.e Paul). It also explains the conversion of the skeptic James.
Explanatory Power: It explains why the body of Jesus was gone, why people repeatedly saw Jesus alive, despite his earlier death on a Roman cross.
Plausibility: Given the historical context of Jesus' life and claims, the resurrection is a confirmation of those claims.
Ad Hoc: For a theory to be ad hoc means that it requires the creation of several other theories to save itself from being falsified. Someone who is caught in a lie and then fabricates new lies to preserve the original lie is acting in an ad hoc manner. But the resurrection hypothesis is not that kind of explanation. It only requires the following statement to be true: it is possible that God exists. In fact, I think the resurrection hypothesis is evidence for God's existence in itself.
In accord with accepted beliefs: I can hear the voice of the skeptic now screaming "People who die stay dead, stupid! Science has proven that dead people don't come back to life!" But this is not a valid objection. The hypothesis isn't that Jesus rose from the dead by natural causes, but that God raised Jesus from the dead via a miracle. This in no way conflicts with the accepted belief that people cannot and do not rise from the dead, naturally.
Outstripping Rival Theories: Through history, various rival hypothesis have arisen, for example, The Stolen Body Theory, The Swoon Theory, The Hallucination Theory, etc. etc. etc. Such hypotheses are refuted in this blog post here. All of the so-called naturalistic theories fail to address all 5 of the above historical facts. Only the resurrection hypothesis succeeds in explanatory power and scope, and should therefore be preferred.

On this date in 1859, physical chemist and Nobel Prize winner Svante August Arrhenius was born in Sweden. He studied at Upsala University, then under a professor in Stockholm. His 1884 thesis, on the galvanic conductivity of electrolyes, won him the first docentship at Uppsala in physical chemistry, a new branch of science. Arrhenius was also awarded a traveling fellowship and worked with scientists throughout Europe. Arrhenius was appointed professor of physics in 1895 at Stockholm's Hogskola. He won the Nobel Prize for chemical research in 1903, for originating the theory of electrolytic dissociation, or ionization. He also investigated osmosis, toxins and antitoxins. He was offered the position of chief of the Nobel Institute for Physical Chemistry, founded just for him. Arrhenius wrote classic textbooks in his field, which were translated into many languages, and also popularized science for the general public, with such books as The Destinies of the Stars (1919). His wide interests in science are exemplified by his contributions to the understanding of such phenomena as the Northern Lights. In 1914, he was awarded the Faraday Medal of the Chemical Society. During World War I, he worked to get the release of many German and Austrian scientists who had been made prisoners of war. According to freethought historian Joseph McCabe, Arrhenius was a "Monist." D. 1927.

text: Occasionally, a Lifetime movie comes along that seems almost like a real movie. The inspiration for this week's slideshow, The Watch, is one such film, a horror flick that sets itself up with all the classic horror tropes: a villain whose face you barely see, slow pacing, music that gets loud when a terrifying figure approaches from behind. It's legitimately scary at times — subtle, even — and it feels all wrong. If we wanted to watch a good movie, we'd be watching Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story. But by the end all is restored. Everything has fallen properly to shit. There's a woman who loves a worthless man, a potential murder, and a ghost ventriloquist. Never change, dear Lifetime. Never change.

Graduate Seminar: Todd Hoffman
Dr. Todd Hoffman, Assistant Professor in the Petroleum Engineering Department at the Colorado School of Mines, will give a talk entitled "Enhanced Recovery for Unconventional Oil Plays: How Might We Do It?" as part of the Claude R. Hocott Graduate Seminar Series.
Abstract: Unconventional oil (aka liquid-rich source-rock) reservoirs such as Bakken, Niobrara, and Eagle Ford have become bright spot in domestic oil production. Since the development of the Elm Coulee field in Montana started in 2000, there have been thousands of wells drilled and hundreds of millions of barrels of oil produced. While there has been tremendous success particularly with horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing, primary recovery factors in these types of reservoirs remains low (~5% - 10%). There remains hundreds of billions of barrels of oil yet to be recovered. The remaining resource in these formations will require improved recovery techniques, which implies some type of fluid injection. This talk explores what the options might be, and along with that, discusses some of the work that has been completed in this area, and research that is ongoing at universities, research centers and even within companies. Come see how we might produce our next 200 billion barrels of oil.
Bio: Todd Hoffman is an Assistant Professor in the Petroleum Engineering Department at the Colorado School of Mines. He teaches classes on EOR, geostatistics and reservoir engineering. His research involves improved recovery for shale oil reservoirs, fracture reservoir modeling and ensuring data consistency while history matching. Before joining CSM, Todd was a senior reservoir engineer for Golder Associates in the FracMan group. He was also an assistant professor at Montana Tech and has been a reservoir engineer for companies such as Anadarko and Chevron. He is active in SPE most recently as the Pacific Northwest Section president. He is a member of the Order of Engineers and a licensed professional engineer. Todd received his B.S. in petroleum engineering from Montana Tech and his M.S. and his Ph.D. in petroleum engineering from Stanford University.

These suede work gloves with elkskin lining are a tough, medium-weight workman's accessory made from one of the heaviest leathers around. Just think about where elk live—in the Rocky Mountains and its foothills, where they've got to withstand long, freezing winters. If you value warmth and toughness enough to sacrifice a little dexterity, elkskin is it.
Unlike cow or pigskin, the elkskin glove stays warm even when it's wet, and is a bit thicker than deerskin, though it has many of the same properties, such as you can wash it without consequence. The only difference is that the exterior of the glove is suede, a result of the numerous scars, marks and blemishes on the surface of the elkskin. This grade of leather, referred to as "Reverse" is turned over, resulting in the flesh side or suede side for the outside of the glove.
Since 1927, these unique gloves have been hand made by craftsmen in Centralia Washington, sewn in pairs and then turned right side out and rubbed over a hot iron to ensure perfect fit.
Suede is sensitive to moisture, but luckily, this pair is not meant for the opera. Feel free to only use them on days or nights when the weather is clear, to try and prevent excessive moisture damage, but really these gloves are made to be used. So go ahead, get them dirty.
If you want to care for the suede, such as if you spill oil or another grease stain on their exterior, apply cornstarch liberally before the oil stain sets for too long and leave it sit for an hour. Then gently use an old toothbrush or suede brush to remove the stain. Whatever you do, don't soak the suede in water to clean them, as it will ruine them.
To clean the elkskin, turn the gloves inside out and wash using warm water and mild soap. This will remove accumulated dirt, oils and stains and will help gloves last longer.
After washing, gloves should be damply squeezed to remove excess water and allowed to dry gradually at room temperature. You should never apply direct heat to the gloves as they dry, as this could cause staining and abrasion to the leather.
The manufacturer is based out of Centralia, Washington, where they have been making gloves for 85 years in the Western Trade Tradition. Using only high quality bison, goatskin, deerskin, elk skin, and other leathers to make their distinctive gloves and moccasins, the gloves are fit for any occasion: riding, driving, work, and dress.
Suede work glove with elastic back. Medium weight Elkskin lining. Perfect for the great outdoors. Made to be worked in. Available in sizes 7-11. Handmade in Washington State with US sourced materials.

I am not in mode of History. But Hittites are Vedic Aryans hidden from Britishers and the Indian Historians of JNU kinds did not teach this to us.
I think this is mispronounced or misspelled like many by the West. For example Angor Wat is Ankur Vaat or Seedling or Birth Place (of Energy or Divine Mother Energy or Feminine Principle). In Ancient Egypt, this also meant the same.
I think this is Temple of Indra and not A In Dara. The sound of "A" is most confusing in Linguistics, like Ram and Rama.
The other thing to be noted is the giant Foot Print. My father would always tell me about the past Giants. In British Indi, they discovered Giant Shelton as found all over the world. have a different theory for this. It has to do with earth gathering mass, spinning faster and getting closer to Sun. Similar foot print has been found in South India Temple. Also a much bigger foot print has been found that is almost half the size of average man.
Near Kanour IIT, place call Bithoor, in a temple they keep two or three arrow heads which are of size of 2x to 3x of a close fist of an average person. The ASI and Govt of UP Certifies that they were found in the bed of Ganges.

Charles Moore, writing in the Daily Telegraph, urges Britons compelled to pay the outrageous tax, sorry, licence fee to the BBC should refuse to do so following the recent episode over two radio presenters who chose to mock an elderly actor about one of the presenters having had sex with the actor's grand-daughter. I urge readers to read the Moore article. It is devastating and gets to the heart of why the Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross saga is not just a minor issue, but a brutal example of what is happening in the culture of the UK.
It is a lamentable fact about Britain that one of the things we are best known for these days is braying vulgarity, rudeness and cruelty, although certain issues, such as football hooliganism, seem to have become a bit less of a problem in recent years. For example, I tend to find US television far funnier, far sharper and yet also less cruel. Of course this is a generalisation – I am sure Samizdata readers living abroad can give me examples of cruelty-as-entertainment – but in the UK, it is becoming more and more the norm, not the exception. And the BBC, paid for by a tax, is at the heart of it. What is even more pathetic about the brutality of this culture is that its targets are not powerful dictators or scoundrels, since that might be dangerous. It is the sheer cowardice of these folk that appals.
As Sean Gabb has written, the BBC is part of the "enemy class". As libertarians, we need to realise that privatising the odd bit of the state is not enough. The BBC, as part of the media class that is so interwoven with the political, corporatist class, must be destroyed, totally.

Chelsea and England captain John Terry on Thursday underwent surgery on his back injury.
The 26-year-old has not featured in the Blues' last three Barclays Premiership matches, in which they have conceded six goals and fallen four points leaders Manchester United. A club statement read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that club captain John Terry underwent successful surgery following his back injury.
"The operation took place in France following consultation between the Chelsea medical department and a leading neurosurgical specialist. The operation to remove a sequestrated lumbar intervertebral disc was successful and everyone at the club wishes John a speedy and full recovery."
It is unclear how much time the Chelsea skipper will need to recover from the operation, but it is understood it should be weeks rather than months of rehabilitation.
That would be welcome news for manager Jose Mourinho, who has made no secret of his desire to get the England defender back in action as soon as possible. It also remains to be seen if the defender will be fit to lead his country in their first international of 2007, against Spain at Old Trafford on February 7.
In the continued absence of their inspirational centre-half and goalkeeper Petr Cech, the Blues have looked somewhat shaky in defence. Chelsea have now let in 15 goals – only seven fewer than they did over the whole of the last Premiership season.
Having sold both William Gallas and Robert Huth, Mourinho admits the continued absence of the England captain has left him short of options in the heart of the defence.
The Chelsea manager has even considered asking 19-goal striker Didier Drogba to step into the role on an emergency basis.
The 28-year-old said: "I do not like to play at centre-back – but I do it for the team because sometimes we have difficult moments in the game."

Patola weaving :
There are two types of patola - the Rajkot Patola of single ikkat weave and the double ikkat Patan Patola. Patola fabrics are renowned for their colorful diversity and geometrical style. To create a patola fabric, both the warp and weft threads are tie-dyed according to the desired pattern on the final woven fabric. In traditional single ikat, only one of them is dyed. The bundles of thread are knotted before being dyed, so that points where the bundles are tied the thread resists the color.

I have a confession, friends.
As Curator of Musical Experience, I have totally skipped out on the job.
See, the Traverse that GM Canada has graciously allowed us to gallivant about in has satellite radio. My job: done. No need to play dj when you can tune into All Pearl Jam All The Time whenever you want. Plus, I've been doing a largish chunk of the driving, because the other women on the Traverse Trip team have deemed it prudent to allow me to drive rather than have to hold my hair back while I vomit on their shoes.
Motion sickness: it's a motivator.
(I am totally having greeting cards made with that on them.)
So today I turned on the Wayback Machine and we listened to 80s music all day. ALL DAY. For 1063 km. Which is 661 miles, for my imperially minded friends.
Tracey and I were pretty much on the same page, musically. At one point the seat dancing was so accidentally but perfectly coordinated that we felt the need to high five each other. This is what Madonna's Holiday will do to you, people. Consider yourselves warned.
So despite the fact that she does not share my love of Rick Springfield, and I don't understand her enthusiasm for Tears for Fears, there was much loud singing in the front seat. Nicole and Karen in the back looked up from their mifi-enabled tech addictions periodically to blink at us in puzzled wonder.
In addition to providing endless hours of amusement, the Wayback Machine also led to the inevitable "Who was your favourite member of Duran Duran?" question. Neither of us were Simon girls. (For the record, she: Nick, me: John.)
"What ever happened to Howard Jones, anyway?" we wondered as the miles rolled by. "What's Richard Marx doing now?" and "What ever became of Rick Astley?"
Because I have superspy access to secret information (read: google, I can haz) I will tell you what has become of them. I'm giving like that.
The good news: none of them has died.
The even better news (for them, anyway): all of them are still working and touring.
Howard Jones has a regularly updated website, a twitter account, and will be touring the US in October. He's also released a bunch of his music for the remixing pleasure of the general public.
Richard Marx is still writing songs, touring with a solo acoustic show in the US starting in a couple of weeks, and is tweeting and google +ing like a boss.
Rick Astley has committed the heinous crime of having music auto-play on his website (he's rick rolling us, how meta!) but is still touring. He'll be in Denmark in October, for my Danish readers.
(I'm pretty sure I have no Danish readers.)
(But now I want pastry.)
Tomorrow: the thrills of LA morning rush hour traffic, and on to San Diego and BlogHer '11.
w00t, etc.
Full disclosure: GM Canada is providing Karen, Nicole, Tracey and I with a Chevrolet Traverse, insurance, gas, and hotels to make the road trip to San Diego. I've paid for my BlogHer ticket and hotel during conference myself. And no animals were harmed in the writing of this post, although Karen and Nicole's ears may be bleeding from all the bad singing.

Although sizing grease interceptors, whether gravity or hydromechanical, has always been based solely on flow rate, this strategy falls short in that it does not consider how much grease a specific food service facility could produce.
There are many times when volume or flow rate sizing would lead to the same size interceptor for a subway sandwich shop as for a Mexican grill, however it is well understood by inspectors that these two types of restaurants produce significantly different amounts of fats, oils and grease (FOG).
Schier recommends using a grease production calculation to determine how much grease a particular restaurant is likely to produce in order to ensure that the specified grease interceptor has sufficient grease storage capacity to allow for a realistic and affordable pump out frequency.
We developed the above categories for restaurants based on feedback from jurisdictions and pumper contractors around the country, combined with reports such as the Brown Grease Study (Kennedy Jenks 2011) which gives detailed information about restaurant types and menu's as well as grease and solids production data.
The formula for calculating grease production requires three bits of information:
1. Grease production per meal - you simply have to decide by menu type which category (low, medium or high) that the restaurant falls under and then whether the restaurant uses flatware or disposable (plastic or paper) forks, knives, spoons, plates, cups, etc.
2. Meals or customers per day - if this is a franchise they typically have this information available. Independent start-ups may not know this information up front, in which case you may have to make an educated guess or phone a friend or consult a medium. Most of the time you can get close enough that the calculation makes sense. Just remember that its better to err on the high side.
3. Days per pump-out cycle - this is simply the maintenance cycle you plan to use for pumping out the interceptor. Most people will not maintain an interceptor that is sized to be cleaned out more often than once per month and most jurisdictions won't let an interceptor be maintained less often than once every 90 days. Somewhere in between is the sweet spot for your project.
The formula for calculating grease production is very straight forward. You simply take the amount of grease expected per meal (a,b,c,d,e, or f), times the number of meals expected per day, times the number of days between pump outs to arrive at the grease capacity required for the interceptor.
Lets take a couple of real-world examples:
Example 1
McDonalds (medium grease producer, no flatware - category "c")
400 meals per day X 0.025 lbs per meal = 10 lbs FOG per day, or 300 lbs every 30 days, or 600 lbs every 60 days, or 900 lbs every 90 days.
You can also take a grease interceptors' certified capacity and divide it by the amount of grease production per day, to determine the pump out frequency as follows:
10 lbs per day would require:
Schier GB-75, 75 gpm, 616 lbs = 61 days between pump-outs
Schier GB-250, 100 gpm, 1076 lbs = 108 days between pump-outs
Trapzilla TZ-400, 75 gpm, 400 lbs = 40 days between pump-outs
Trapzilla TZ-600, 75 gpm, 600 lbs = 60 days between pump-outs
Mifab BigMax 750, 75 gpm, 150 lbs* = 15 days between pump-outs
Mifab BigMax 1150, 100 gpm, 200 lbs* = 20 days between pump-outs
*based on grease interceptors' actual third party certification (not based on the manufacturer's claims of performance, which cannot be proven).
Example 2
Buffalo Wild Wings (high grease producer with flatware, category "f")
642 meals per day X 0.455 lbs per meal = 29.2 lbs per day, or 876 lbs every 30 days, or 1,752 lbs every 60 days, or 2,628 lbs every 90 days.
29.2 lbs per day would require:
Schier GB-75, 75 gpm, 616 lbs = 21 days between pump-outs
Schier GB-250, 100 gpm, 1076 lbs = 36 days between pump-outs
Trapzilla TZ-400, 75 gpm, 400 lbs = 14 days between pump-outs
Trapzilla TZ-600, 75 gpm, 600 lbs = 20 days between pump-outs
Mifab BigMax 750, 75 gpm, 150 lbs* = 5 days between pump-outs
Mifab BigMax 1150, 100 gpm, 200 lbs* = 7 days between pump-outs
Of course you can increase capacity by increasing the number of interceptors in order to lengthen the pump-out cycle, i.e:
Schier GB-250 (2), 100 gpm, 2152 lbs = 74 days between pump-outs
Using the grease production sizing method is not limited to any specific manufacturer, you can use it for any interceptor.
The only thing to watch out for is the funny-business some manufacturers' play in making unsubstantiated claims of capacity that they want to be used in determining a pump-out frequency.
Sorry Charlie, that's just not going to work.
When in doubt ask them for their certified test reports to see what their actual/real/genuine/true/factual capacity is, then base the pump-out cycle on that.

Grease Production Sizing
1 comment:
Like this article says it is so important to make sure you get the right size grease trap that you need. It is also really crucial that you clean it on a regular basis. My dad says if you do that then the chances of it braking go down a lot. Then that will be one less thing you need to spend money on. http://www.nofusswaste.com.auReplyDelete

The decision to block the development of the Coventry and Warwickshire Gateway could have profound long-term economic consequences for the area, according to the team behind the scheme.
But supporters of the project have said the land could still be used to boost the area's economy in the future.
Eric Pickles turned down the scheme last week despite it having received approval from Coventry City Council and Warwick District Council and being backed by the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership.
The £450 million development – entirely funded by private investment – was expected to create up to 10,000 jobs for the region and was to have included a new technology hub on land north of Coventry Airport and a major manufacturing and logistics hub to the south, also carrying out major road improvements to ease congestion and improve access around Jaguar Land Rover's premises at Whitley Business Park.
A country park was designed to occupy nearly half of the overall site with the planting of 30,000 trees and 5km of hedgerows in addition to the establishment of 9.5km of new cycle and footpaths.
Sir Peter Rigby, one of the partners in the development, said: "We had no indication which way the minister would go, but having won support from the two planning authorities and with the backing of the business community, several local MPs and the LEP – not to mention being at the heart of Warwick District Council's local plan – we were obviously disappointed to see this turned down.
"There is a tremendous amount of work from all parties to bring growth and prosperity to Coventry and Warwickshire and very positive strides have been made, but this is a significant setback not only to this scheme but to the wider region.
"The site is strategically well positioned, we know there is a need for employment land, we have fielded an encouraging level of enquiries and would have opened up much of the site for public access."
Warwick District Council's leader Cllr Andrew Mobbs described the decision as "disappointing" and said that in granting planning permission for the scheme the authority had weighed up the economic advantages of the scheme against the loss of Green Belt land in this part the district.
He added: "We do, however, welcome the Secretary of State's conclusion that a strong case has been made for the development and that it would deliver economic benefits and environmental gains. This supports our view that this site could be a major boost for our local and the wider sub-regional economy. We will now need to very carefully study the reasons that the Secretary of State has given for his decision, and consider the implications of these as we move forward."

High School AD's Don't Want A Shot Clock For Class B
Posted by
High school Athletic Directors in South Dakota do not want to see a shot clock implemented for class B of high school basketball. Athletic Directors from around the state voted against a designed proposal 37-32 on Monday.
Monday's vote is NOT the final decision on the matter, but it will be used as a recommendation to the South Dakota High School Activities Association moving forward on the matter.
Athletic Directors also voted on a proposal to implement a mercy rule for basketball in class A and class B. If a point differential reaches 40-points in the second half, then the officials will continue to run the clock (except for team/official timeouts). The AD's voted in favor of this proposal 64-28.
Another proposal voted in favor of by the Athletic Directors, 28-21, was the class A state basketball qualifying format. This proposal would reseed the final 16 teams in the class A regional round, and would enable the possibility of teams in the same district or region to compete at the same time during a state tournament.
SDHSAA board members will discuss and vote on all of these items and more at the April meeting in Pierre. The board members will simply use Monday's vote from the Athletic Directors as a recommendation for which way to vote on April 21-22.

How to clarify the role ethics must play in the workplace
The difference between espousal and practice, congruence between what is said and done, and walk the talk are just some of the management-speak used to describe (and emphasize) the need to eliminate the gap between saying-doing. Ethical conduct in the workplace faces a similar challenge. To help clarify a general confusion about the notion of ethics in business, you should become familiar with the following demands…
1. Embrace the need for business ethics.
Business ethics is not a recent phenomenon, even though ethics in business has received attention recently because of some high-profile, distressing examples. Thousand of years ago, Confucius, Plato, Socrates and Cicero were promoting the need to behave ethically.
2. Promote ethics as a discipline.
Ethics is much more than a debate restricted to academic and religious circles. Business ethics is a management discipline with which everyone in an organization must be familiar. Staff and management need to embrace the centrality and importance of ethics in day-to-day organizational life. Ethics management programs have practical applications in many areas of management and the approach adopted must make clear those benefits.
3. Communicate a link between ethics and management.
You can't afford not to instill among your people a need to develop and adhere to a code of ethical conduct. Even though there may be those who (incorrectly) associate ethics with areas other than management (religion, for example), Diane Kirrane, in 'Managing Values: A Systematic Approach to Business Ethics,' (Training and Development Journal, November 1990), asserted correctly that: '… altering people's values or souls isn't the aim of an organizational ethics program—managing values and conflict among them is …'

The culmination of more than three years of thought, debate, construction and belief, the first print edition of Modern Times Magazine will complete the circle for what we believe will be the first great community magazine. This East Phoenix Metro edition of Modern Times Magazine leverages the power of print — creativity, flexibility, localized connectivity, readability and viewability against the rock solid foundation of our three-year old online version. Together, the online and print versions form one "Modern Times" magazine. Instead of dividing our online and print editions, we have been able to create one publication over two mediums. Online, we can stream and host video and provide a perpetual vault of great things to read and present it to the world. Yet, via this monthly print publication, we can bring creative layouts and great reading through localized distribution.
Copyright 2012 Modern Communications, Inc.
Click on images to read our preview print edition.
Put simply, Modern Times Magazine is the first publication designed to engage and capture a modern audience no matter where they are or what they are into.
At www.moderntimesmagazine.com, we provide daily news, viewpoints and fiction content wrapped in a pretty package. Since our debut in 2010, we have been recognized for in-depth reporting and qualitative viewpoints. Along the way, we have also engaged those who enjoy reading satire and fiction. We get tens of thousands of views a month, primarily from Arizona, although we are popular around the world.
The monthly Phoenix East Metro print version is like a "best of" collection from our website, along with a handful of exclusive content nuggets. The golden hook of the print magazine is that we are able to expand creativity in ways that the coded files of the interwebs cannot duplicate. The result is a magazine that uses images and words in ways that help tell a story: a task that has yet to be duplicated online. A web page is a means of communication, but magazines can be things of beauty.
The online and print editions of Modern Times Magazine are also the first community publications to re-assess what "community" is in this modern world. We consider both our online and print editions to be community based. We focus on Arizona topics because that is where we distribute our print magazine and where most of our staff is located.
For those glued to tradition, that is where community stops.
But we believe community extends past the city, county or region where one lives and works. In this modern world, community is as disparate as the population itself. A community topic of interest might have originated from as far away as India in today's modern world. Consequently, the focus of Modern Times Magazine will always be to consider first our local markets, while realizing that stories outside of the local area are sometimes more important to the community.
We will accomplish this by always remembering Our Pledge:
"We will provide our readers with the finest reporting, viewpoints and fiction that strives to reveal everyday and transcendent truths. We will also provide them with a fighting and tireless champion of their rights as citizens and as human beings."
Fans of the classic film "Citizen Kane" might remember the last half of Our Promise as part of Kane's Declaration of Principles. That is no coincidence, rather an affirmation of the grandest goals of journalism and publishing that transcend time.
The first edition is our polished gem, but now it is on to the next one.
We hope you'll join us for the ride.

Technology Advancements to Drive Medical Imaging Market
Medical/diagnostic imaging market offerings refer to different imaging modalities to get visual representations of the interior of body for various diagnostic and therapeutic ends. Medical imaging is constantly evolving and is fast transforming clinical and healthcare outcomes; the developments are mainly driven by innovative technologies such as 3D & 4D imaging, interoperability among various systems, adoption of big data analytics and some fundamental shifts experienced by the industry.
Over the past few years, the healthcare industry has markedly witnessed the shift from a fee-for-service world to value-based care—an industry shifts from volume to value; this has kept the diagnostic imaging solutions and radiology continuously evolving. Integrating of various clinical and imaging data with the help of high-end medical automation technologies coupled with workflow informatics technologies like big data analytics will help the patients and payers make the desired shift. The demand for high-end analytics solutions to not only achieve more effective and efficient diagnostics, but help improving operational metrics, as well.
Across radiology, medical imaging professionals deliver more value by reducing length of patient stay, improving compliance, augmenting revenue, mitigating risks and minimizing medical errors, along with boosting clinical outcomes and quality. Governments in various countries have taken active initiative in establishing value-based payment models and will take some time to attain its full implications in radiology. In the U.S., value-based payments are mandated by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) by using merit-based incentive payment systems and alternative payment models.
Emergence of big data analytics to drive advancements in imaging informatics technology
The application of big data analytics by clinicians and healthcare providers have enabled them to corroborate image findings with patient outcomes. As, Dr. Eliot Siegel, a researcher in the University of Maryland, asserts: "Medicine will increasingly go from anecdotal to data-driven using big data and analytics." Combined with various machine-learning methods such as artificial intelligence, big data is expected to constantly transform the approach and access to reliable and accurate medical image analysis. Advancements in imaging informatics technology using 3D- ultrasound tool and their integration with cloud technology have profusely impacted the developments in medical/diagnostic imaging market. The ground-breaking technology in radiology have attracted industry stalwarts to take initiatives in various projects and make considerable investments. Some of the prominent initiatives expected to have profound impact on the medical imaging market are IBM's Watson Health project and GE Healthcare's Health Cloud offering, and include Dell Medical's partnership with Zebra Medical Systems.
Recent Trends & Developments In Imaging Modalities Shape Up Competitive Landscape
Increased adoption of breast cancer screening is a prominent trend gaining traction with radiologists and healthcare providers; especially in the U.S., mammography skeptics have emphasized the harmful effects in terms of screening false positives and downstream tests and the debate have gained momentum. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have taken initiatives to develop a single set of uniform guidelines for breast screening that will help to bring consensus between the two opposing groups—one, which endorse mammography among younger women and the other, which harp on the negative effects on screening.
These upheavals have led to some notable technology innovations and will lead to more research on adjunctive screening technologies such as abbreviated breast MRI protocols and will rev up developments in contrast-enhanced dual-energy mammography. Tomosynthesis is fast gaining traction among women's imaging.
Finding ways to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment through high-end medical imaging technologies will help in better understanding of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Recently, a massive project—considered as the world's largest medical imaging study will scan 100,000 Britons—was launched in U.K. will help doctors and clinicians in understanding the effect of environmental parameters, genetics, lifestyle changes and diet effect on human health; this is being considered as seminal development in diagnosis of diseases worldwide. Researchers taking part in the project hope to gain deeper insights into the causes of frailty in old age—how heart and lung functions and the health of the brain changes over age. The data will be shared with other scientists across various regions.
Market Growth
Innovative healthcare technologies by vendors focus on automated patient guidance and engagement solutions which would offer reliable and accurate medical image analysis. These disruptive technologies shape up the diagnostics, treatments and delivery of quality care of the future. As per a recent report by Allied Market Research titled "World Medical/Diagnostic Imaging Market - Opportunities and Forecasts, 2015 – 2022", the world medical/diagnostic imaging market is expected to reach $45 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period; the growth is primarily driven by technological advancements in diagnostic imaging devices, rising incidences of chronic diseases, application of numerous medical imaging procedures, and growing concerns for an early diagnosis of various clinical disorders across regions.

Since the end of the 1980 coup d'état Turkey has been in the midst of a complex process of democratization. Applying methodological pluralism in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of this process in a Turkish context, this book brings together contributions from prominent, Turkish, English, French, and Spanish scholars.
Turkey's Democratization Process utilises the theoretical framework of J.J. Linz and A.C. Stepan in order to assess the complex process of democratization in Turkey. This framework takes into account five interacting features of Turkey's polity when making this assessment, namely: whether the underlying legal and socioeconomic conditions are conducive for the development of a free and participant society; if a relatively autonomous political society exists; whether there are legal guarantees for citizens' freedoms; if there exists a state bureaucracy which can be used by a democratic government; and whether the type and pace of Turkish economic development contributes to this process.
Examining the Turkish case in light of this framework, this book seeks to combine analyses that will help assess the process of democratization in Turkey to date and will be of interest to scholars and researchers interested in Turkish Politics, Democratization and Middle Eastern Studies more broadly.

Our local wine group met last evening at a new venue, Roberts Scratch Kitchen, Totowa, NJ. . Opened last May, this is a cozy, attractive restaurant serving fresh food with a smile. Owner Robert explained that he has no freezer and that everything is cooked from scratch daily with fresh ingredients. In lieu of printing or reciting the daily specials, Robert displays them pictorially on an iPad while he describes each. To begin with, we enjoyed two terrific shrimp dishes
|RSK Shrimp (Sautéed Shrimp in Sweet Chili Sauce)
|Shrimp Sautéed in Olive Oil, Lemon and Butter Sauce Over Pieces of Polenta
In addition to all the appetizers being delicious, on Monday evenings they are all priced at $10.
|1 lb. Veal Chop, pounded thin and served Parmigianno style with pasta.
An enormous serving that was shared by two of us.
|Chilean Sea Bass Risotto
|Rigatoni with Lobster & Brocolli Rape
Emil, our wine host for the evening, treated us to 5 magical Southern Rhone red wines from Chateau Rayas. Many consider the estate, myself included, to be the benchmark for Châteauneuf du Pape and Cotes du Rhone wines, both red and white. Today the family's three properties, Château Rayas, Château des Tours and Château de Fonsalette are under the direction Emmanuel Reynaud, nephew of the legendary Jacques Reynaud. These traditionally made wines are not easy to come by and on the pricey side for their top wines. In my opinion, they are worth every penny and provide an exciting drinking experience.
Chateau Rayas is a small ten-hectare vineyard, in the heart of the woods, planted in very poor, sandy soil producing wines with great finesse. While CdP laws allow for all 13 grapes in the region to be included in the wine, Chateau Rayas uses only Grenache for the red and Grenache and Clairette for the white CdP.
Chateau Fonsalette is a large property with a dozen or so hectares of vines, woods, agricultural land and olive trees. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah are used for the red wines. On occasion the estate will bottle a 100% Syrah. Grenache, Clairette and Marsanne are used for the white. The grapes are vinified and sold at Rayas.
Chateau Des Tours is a 40-hectare property of vines, a mother plantation, cereals and a plot of olive trees planted in 1997. The grape varieties are as follows: Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Merlot and Counoise for red wine. Grenache and Clairette are used for white wine.
We began the evening with 2011 Rayas La Pialade Cotes Du Rhone. This amazing wine is a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Cinsault and 5% syrah. It is made from fruit that didn't make the cut for Rayas, Pignan or Fonsalette and thus sells at a fraction of the price of these wines ($50). This is one of the best Cotes Du Rhone I have ever tasted. Gorgeous bright red translucent hue with a peppery palate of lovely pure fruit with superb balance, complexity and a lengthy finish. A wine with soul that evolves with time in the glass.
2006 Rayas Pignan Chateauneuf du Pape Réservé followed. Pignan is the second wine of Rayas. However, because much of Pignan comes from their more northern vines, it can also be looked at as a unique brand. Pignan is produced from almost 100% old vine Grenache and also uses grapes from their young vines. Pignan is aged for 16 months in demi-muids and foudres. Only 650 cases are produced each year. My first sip gave me a moment of concern as the wine yielded very little. However a few moments of air and the wine began to soar from the glass. An enticing bouquet of pepper and spice was echoed on a superbly balanced palate that had fantastic depth. The wine never stopped evolving in the glass and finished with fantastic length. Truly a wine with soul!
2004 Rayas Chateauneuf de Fonsalette Réservé. A Cotes Du Rhone blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Cinsault and 15% Syrah, the wine was delicious, like those before it. I loved the pepper palate and lengthy finish.
2006 Rayas Chateauneuf Du Pape Réservé. The flagship wine of the estate is made from 100% Grenache and is aged in large, ancient wood vats, or "foudres" that are 80 to 100 years old. What a wine. While in my opinion it lacks the elegance of the 2005 vintage, it is round and delicious with a pure and beautifully balanced palate and lengthy finish. This wine should age beautifully for another couple of decades.
1985 Rayas Pignan Chateauneuf du Pape Réservé. While the wine lacked a bit of the freshness of the other wines, for its age it had wonderful balance, depth and complexity. Finished a bit shorter than the others, but a terrific wine and a joy to drink.
Rayas, in my opinion, is amongst the top ten winemakers in the world. I love his wines and thus am very grateful of Emil's generosity for treating us to such a magnificent tasting.

Goldman Sachs 'Underperforms'
Goldman Sachs posted a disappointing second-quarter profit of $1.05 billion, or $1.85 per share—another sign of the company's struggles to regain its footing in the post-financial-crisis world. The performance was below analysts' expectations of $2.27 per share. Goldman's chief financial officer, David Viniar, said, "I don'twant to sugarcoat it, we underperformed." However, the performance was still better than the same period a year ago, when Goldman reported a profit of just $453 million.
