The report on EPDM captures its global market size by volume and value. The market for EPDM is growing at a brisk pace in emerging markets. The demand for EPDM is driven by the end-user industries such as automotive, building & construction, electronics, and plastic modification.
Demand dynamics from the end use industry and manufacturing technology up gradation are the two major factors that are expected to shape the demand for EPDM in near future. The global automotive industry is a major consumer of EPDM. Thus it is imperative that the demand for EPDM will be significantly influenced by its consumption towards automotive applications. EPDM, owing to its physical properties, has a number of applications in the automotive industry such as weather-stripping & seals, glass-run channel, radiator, tubing, belts, electrical insulation, plastic impact modification to be used in bumpers and hoods, thermoplastic vulcanisates and motor oil additives. It is because of these properties that today, modified EPDM plastics are replacing PVC and other materials that were used in automotive interiors; increasing its global consumption. The EPDM market in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico along with China and India are expected to grow with a relatively higher CAGR for the next five years.
Companies around the world are investing capital in order to achieve a higher EPDM manufacturing efficiency. Lanxess AG (Germany) is among the front runners in this arena. The company has developed a new technology called the Keltan ACE process to produce EPDM. Compared with conventional production processes, Keltan ACE technology reduces energy requirements for rubber production and it does not require catalyst extraction as a result of high catalyst efficiency. Furthermore, the process enables the manufacture of new EPDM rubber grades. LANXESS AG has also developed the Keltan Eco grade of EPDM, which is manufactured using raw materials extracted from sugarcane waste that in turn is a renewable resource; thus making it more eco-friendly. This market has yet to be tapped fully and holds huge promise as most industries are focusing on green technology and energy saving process currently.
This report estimates and forecasts the regional and country level markets for EPDM by volume and value for major application such as automotive, wires & cables, building & construction, tires & tubes and plastic modification additives. It provides a comprehensive review of major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, winning imperatives, challenges, and key issues in the market. The opportunities for new entrants in light of market forces such as consumers' bargaining strength, raw material sourcing, and market penetration threshold are analyzed using Porter's Five Forces Model. In-depth secondary research and extensive primary research was conducted in order to ascertain market volumes and values.

50 years ago: Union protest shuts down Jacksonville's port
by: Max Marbut Associate Editor
Jacksonville Port Authority and Auchter Co. officials were seeking a court injunction against pickets who were protesting the use of non-union labor by Diamond Construction Co.
The union action was taking place at sites where the Savannah-based company was working on four contracts, including three publicly funded jobs.
One of the public contracts was at Talleyrand Docks and Terminals where longshoremen who were not employed by Diamond refused to cross picket lines, stopping work on three ships.
"We have asked the National Labor Relations Board to investigate the situation here," said Otto Bowden, attorney for the authority and for Auchter.
"We feel their investigators will find that an illegal secondary boycott exists, and therefore, a court injunction (against the pickets) is in order," he said.
The action was aimed at the Northeast Florida Building and Construction Trades Council, which was protesting the use of non-union workers on the job sites.
John Bowden, union president, said his members were not asking anyone to stop work or to go on strike.
"Our men are carrying information signs letting the public know that Diamond employs no members of our council," Bowden said. "If union men refuse to work after being told this, that's their business."
Diamond was awarded a contract to build a $1.7 million terminal at Talleyrand in spite of threats from Bowden, who accused the construction company of paying substandard wages and hiring out-of-state workers.
The pickets also stopped some of the construction at the Gulf Life Center (now Riverplace Tower), which was being built Downtown along the Southbank.
Employees of Auchter, the prime contractor, refused to cross picket lines.
Diamond's employees, who were not members of the council, ignored the pickets and went to work.
Work also continued at the other two Diamond jobs: the high-level bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway along Atlantic Boulevard and the foundation of the Commodore's Point Bridge (later named the Hart Bridge).
The construction union wasn't the only one causing issues for the port authority this week in 1965.
Seventeen ships were idled when Jacksonville Local 24, International Organization of Masters, Mates and Pilots, went out on strike.
Members of the local joined others at East Coast ports who walked out in a dispute over whether an additional officer was needed aboard ships to provide relief. Other seafarers' unions, including radio operators and engineers, were honoring the strike.
All but one of the idled vessels were fuel oil tankers. The exception was the Moremacland, which had in its hold 60 tons of South African lobster tails valued at $700,000.
With the ship's generators and machinery abandoned by the union workers, arrangements were made to run a 60-foot city electric line from shore to the freighter to maintain onboard refrigeration.
• Gov. Haydon Burns, former mayor of Jacksonville, used the term "ridiculous" to describe rumors he planned to suspend Duval County Sheriff Dale Carson.
Burns said he was contacted by a Jacksonville television station in regard to the alleged rumor that he was going to remove Carson as soon as the Legislature adjourned.
"My answer was one word, 'ridiculous,'" he said.
When he learned another television station reported his denial of the rumor, Burns added to his response.
"I think that giving publicity to such an unfounded statement is the cheapest type of journalism and certainly cannot be taken as a compliment to the writer and the news media represented.
"Sheriff Carson and I have been personal friends, political allies and in every regard have worked in harmony, both when I served as mayor of Jacksonville and now in my capacity as governor," said Burns.
Carson was called to Tallahassee immediately after Burns took office as governor and was presented with a report of an investigation into illegal acts allegedly perpetrated by members of the sheriff's department.
The report and an investigation made by the sheriff led to the arrest of two Duval County Patrol officers on charges of breaking and entering.
There were reports that Carson might be suspended, but Burns said the investigation was not of the sheriff's office but of the incidents that led to the arrests.
• Teachers in Jacksonville's Project Head Start weren't faring as well in terms of pay as their counterparts in the New York program.
The 35 teachers conducting the local school readiness classes for preschoolers were paid $3.25 an hour — $140 per week for 40 hours with no overtime allowed.
Teachers in New York were being paid $200 a week for 25 hours of instructing youngsters from impoverished families. The pay was the highest in the nation for Head Start teachers. The federal government provided 90 percent of the financing for the new eight-week summer program.
Officials from the federal Office of Economic Opportunity said they attempted to have the New York salaries reduced, but the rate of $8 to $9.20 an hour was approved by city planners who insisted on that pay scale.
Gordon Bunch, executive director of Greater Jacksonville Economic Opportunity, which administered Head Start locally, said $3.25 an hour was the "going rate" for teachers in the area.
• City Council put off until Aug. 23 consideration of three measures intended to improve safety conditions in large, public buildings.
City Supervisor of Buildings H. R. Oatman, appearing before a council committee, said the delay would mean "much more time that that many buildings are exposed to certain hazards of fire."
The changes would amend the city building, electrical and fire codes. The proposed amendments were brought about by a study conducted after the disastrous fire at the Roosevelt Hotel, which on Dec. 29, 1963, resulted in the deaths of 22 people. It remains the most fatal fire in Jacksonville history.
The bills were introduced May 11 and then action was deferred for study. Robert Thal, interim chairman of a committee of Realtors, building owners and property managers, asked for the additional delay.
He said that would allow the committee to further study the effects the bills might have on owners of large buildings such as hotels, office buildings and other structures where large numbers of people gathered.
• A man wanted on a governor's warrant from Mississippi ran from the courtroom of Justice of the Peace Dorcas Drake and then escaped in a hail of gunfire.
John Robert Edwards, 25, was not apprehended. He was believed to be in the Fairfield area. Immediately following his flight, he was seen running into and out of several houses, Drake said.
Edwards was wanted on seven felony charges in Mississippi, including breaking and entering and grand larceny.
When he was arrested in March in Jacksonville on a fugitive warrant, Edwards was arraigned by Drake.
She instructed him to report to her office every 30 days until a governor's warrant arrived or the charges were dismissed.
Edwards was reporting for the third time when Drake told him the warrant had arrived. She said he asked to go out to a car and tell a companion that he would not be leaving but would have to go back to jail and await extradition.
Drake allowed him to return to the car, accompanied by Deputy Constable Dudley Bragg. When the car left, Edwards and Bragg went back inside the court.
Bragg said Edwards suddenly turned and ran onto East First Street. Bragg chased the man and fired several shots, but soon lost sight of the fugitive.

CCRManager vs. Velotrade: which business model will work?
We compare two tech companies' very different approach to make trade finance into an asset class.
Larissa Ku
Fintech companies see a huge opportunity in turning assets related to trade finance into the mainstream of investment opportunities.
Demand should exist if these can be made easier to access. Receivables, letters of credit or supply-chain loans offer attractive risk-adjusted returns with low correlations to stocks or bonds.
Today, however, this is an asset class available mainly to large banks. Globally, investors such as hedge funds, insurance companies and family offices account for only about 10% of demand. In Asia, buy-side participation is even lower. (Federated, a U.S. fund management company, is a rare case of a mainstream buy side with trade-finance capabilities.)
Institutional investors face two hurdles, according to Jeremy Son, a fixed-income trader at Alliance Bernstein in Hong Kong.
First, invoices and other trade notes are not included in mandate guidelines. Second, these assets lack standardization and are therefore difficult to understand.
"You probably need a team of specialized credit analysts who understand the structure and underlying fundamentals," said Son.
Two philosophies
Two technology companies addressing these hurdles are Hong Kong's Velotrade and Singapore's CCRManager. The challenges are the same but their approaches are quite different.
Velotrade is now a licensed investment manager, while CCRManager is about to launch an index to give fund houses a benchmark for structured investments.
Velotrade targeted outside investors from the beginning of its life. Its business strategy could be compared to Steve Jobs, who said inventions like the iPhone were meant to create a demand that consumers didn't know they had.
However, onboarding customers appears to be a bigger challenge than the founders expected; Velotrade would not disclose figures around user numbers or volumes.
CCRManager's approach is, in contrary, iterating on proven customer demand. As we know, Steve Jobs is an outlier and his business model almost impossible to replicate.
Splitting receivables
To securitise receivables, Velotrade spend 20 months on a type 1 license granted by Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission. Now the company can split receivables into tranches that can be sold as a "collective investment scheme" which counts as a security under SFC rules.
Tranches of receivables are often low-value paper, more suitable for small investors. But this is intended to be an alternative asset class for institutions and professional investors. The business risk is a mismatch in the securities' size, versus actual investing needs.
On the supply side, in order to provide high-quality assets, Velotrade hopes to attract a few large multinational companies. But these are precisely the clients that banks cater to now. Why would they switch to a small, untested platform?
Velotrade says some companies face macro uncertainties. Let's say an oil refinery faces a downturn in oil prices. In volatile situations, companies need to diversify their funding channels.
But then in such a case, the risk profile of these securitized receivables would increase – which would require them to yield more to justify the risk to investors. Again it's a question of whether the asset class fits actual investor demand.
Unmet demand
CCRM is taking the path of working with the banks rather than trying to compete against them.
The Singapore company started out serving bank-to-bank trade-finance transactions.
"The majority of people in the market don't know this kind of transaction exists", George Lee, co-founder, COO and CFO, told DigFin.
When an importer asks a bank for a Letter of Credit (LC), that's just a primary transaction, aka the origination. In theory the money follows the LC from the buyer's bank to the recipient bank. In reality, banks often transact via a third bank that can facilitate a better price for the paper.
The process is manual, conducted over the phone.
This is an arcane trade among banks that leaves importers and exporters baffled. "Very often the clients don't understand why it takes so long," Lee said.
Focus on digitalisation has been on the client-to-bank transaction, but very little on the bank-to-bank space, Lee explained.
CCRM was started by ex-bankers from this niche field, and they attracted about 20 banks in Asia and Europe to co-design their trading platform, a digital peer-to-peer place for negotiations. It's like an instant-messaging app, offering an audit trail and structured data that the participants can view.
Its first live transaction was in 2017 and it now has up to $500 million in monthly volumes.
From banks to fund managers
CCRM is planning to launch an index of average market prices.
To generate an index requires enough transaction data. So far the most activity on the platform are deals between Asia and Europe, so an index covering that is being rolled out in the fourth quarter. CRM has yet to decide whether to provide detailed percentages of price changes, out of concern it could breach user confidentiality (it's a small market). But only users can see their own data; CCRM's own people won't have access to it.
The index should give banks a reference to measure the performance of its trading department, or to compare performance among traders. Initially it is aimed at banks but Lee says it will pave the way to bring in new investors, as the asset class becomes more transparent.
CCRM is in talks with development banks, credit insurers and fund houses, to understand how their information needs will very from banks'.
These non-bank investors will be included by the end of this year.
Lee says buy sides should be easier and faster to onboard, as fund managers would only be receiving data, not disclosing information of their own.

BACKGROUND: When sufficient maternal breast milk is not available, the alternative sources of enteral nutrition for preterm or low birth weight infants are donor breast milk or artificial formula milk. Feeding preterm or low birth weight infants with formula milk might increase nutrient input and growth rates. However, since feeding with formula milk may be associated with a higher incidence of feeding intolerance and necrotising enterocolitis, this may adversely affect growth and development. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of formula milk compared with donor human breast milk on growth and development in preterm or low birth weight infants. SEARCH STRATEGY: The standard search strategy of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group was used. This included electronic searches of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2007), MEDLINE (1966 - May 2007), EMBASE (1980 - May 2007), CINAHL (1982 - May 2007), conference proceedings, and previous reviews. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials comparing feeding with formula milk versus donor breast milk in preterm or low birth weight infants. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Data were extracted using the standard methods of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group, with separate evaluation of trial quality and data extraction by two reviewer authors, and synthesis of data using relative risk, risk difference and weighted mean difference. MAIN RESULTS: Eight trials fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Only one trial used nutrient-fortified donor breast milk. Enteral feeding with formula milk compared with donor breast milk resulted in higher rates of growth in the short term. There was no evidence of an effect on long-term growth rates or neurodevelopmental outcomes. Meta-analysis of data from five trials demonstrated a statistically significantly higher incidence of necrotising enterocolitis in the formula fed group: typical relative risk 2.5 (95% confidence interval 1.2, 5.1); typical risk difference: 0.03 (95% confidence interval 0.01, 0.06; number needed to harm: 33 (95% confidence interval 17, 100). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: In preterm and low birth weight infants, feeding with formula milk compared with donor breast milk results in a higher rate of short-term growth but also a higher risk of developing necrotising enterocolitis. There are only limited data on the comparison of feeding with formula milk versus nutrient-fortified donor breast milk. This limits the applicability of the findings as nutrient fortification of breast milk is now a common practice in neonatal care. Future trials may compare growth, development and adverse outcomes in infants who receive formula milk versus nutrient-fortified donor breast milk given as a supplement to maternal expressed breast milk or as a sole diet.


Ever wondered how to cook brisket, from choosing the right cut to slicing and serving? The most important thing to remember when it comes to brisket is to cook it low and slow. With a good recipe and the proper technique, brisket becomes tender and juicy, the perfect centerpiece for a holiday meal. Let's talk brisket!
Brisket is a time-honored cooking tradition for the Jewish holidays; barbecued and smoked brisket are both popular in Texas and throughout the South. Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and other Jewish holiday gatherings often feature a meat dish as the center of the meal.
Traditionally, the meat of choice at a Jewish holiday table is the brisket cut, because it's a kosher cut that can feed a lot of people (more bang for your buck). It's a great choice for any occasion where you have a lot of people to satisfy, whether or not you're celebrating a holiday.
So, have you ever tried to make a brisket? Have you ever failed miserably? I'll admit it… I've been there. This notoriously tough cut of meat can be difficult to master. Through the years I've learned many pointers for cooking a delicious, tender brisket. It does take a bit of practice, but with a few helpful tips and a great recipe, you'll be brisket-cooking like a pro!
1) Pick a great cut of meat. The higher quality the meat is, the tastier your brisket will turn out. I buy organic, hormone-free meat whenever possible. Choose a cut with plenty of fat; the more fat there is, the more tender the end result will be. For special occasions when you are cooking brisket, fat is key.
2) First Cut vs. Second Cut. Readers often ask me what cut of brisket is best – first or second cut. I generally recommend first cut, untrimmed. The first cut is easiest to find in supermarkets; it has a flat shape and a thin layer of fat. Second cut will also work – it is shaped like a point, and has a lot more fat.
2) Get the right size brisket for the amount of people you will be entertaining. Generally, butchers recommend calculating about ½ pound per person, uncooked weight. I always get at least two pounds over the recommended amount, which allow for guests taking larger portions, and will hopefully leave you with some nice leftovers.
3) Don't trim the fat. Many recipes call for trimmed brisket, but I always leave my brisket untrimmed. The extra fat makes more cooking liquid, which keeps the brisket moist during the long, slow cooking process. Without the fat, the brisket will cook up dry with a cardboard-like texture, and will require a lot of sauce to make it palatable.
4) Grass fed brisket needs extra attention. I am a big believer in choosing grass fed, organic meat from responsible farms. If you choose to go this route, know that it can take a very long time to make a grass fed brisket cook up tender. Grass fed brisket is naturally lean, and it will take a longer time for the connective tissue to break down.
If using a grass fed cut, consider using a slow cooker on low setting. If using the oven, lower the recipe temperature to 200 degrees Farenheit and let it cook a few hours longer than the recipe states, even up to overnight. This will give the brisket ample time to break down and become tender.
Some grass fed briskets I have cooked have taken 14 hours or longer to become really tender. Be patient, it will eventually get there! Check liquid levels periodically to make sure it doesn't dry out.
If the recipe has additional vegetables or herbs, add those about 4 hours before the end of cooking so they don't get over-done. If using a grass fed cut, definitely consider making a day or two ahead to give yourself ample time to cook and prepare.
5) Kosher brisket is pre-salted, so salt with care. It's best to cut back on the salt in most brisket recipes unless they are specifically written for kosher salted brisket. Generally, if using a salted brisket, I opt to cut back the salt in the recipe by about a third. You can always salt more to taste at the end of cooking.
6) Make sure your roasting pan or slow cooker is big enough for your brisket. It's okay if the meat initially looks scrunched in there, traveling up the sides… it will shrink a LOT during cooking.
A heavy roasting pan with a lid, or a covered Dutch oven, will be very helpful for cooking your brisket and keeping it moist. Here is a high quality roasting pan option, a cheaper lighter version, and a fantastic Dutch oven.
If you don't have a pan with a lid, make sure you cover it tightly and completely while it cooks. I use a layer of parchment paper followed by a layer of aluminum foil; the parchment keeps the foil from direct contact with the brisket. In addition to the potential health concerns surrounding foil, aluminum can break down during slow cooking when it touches acidic sauces containing tomato or vinegar.
7) Running short on oven space? Use a slow cooker! Aka a crock pot. A large-capacity slow cooker is a great alternative for those who are short on oven space, or trying to keep the temperature in the home from getting too hot.
I have some recipes specifically crafted for the slow cooker, including my Savory Slow Cooker Brisket and my Slow Cooker Honey Barbecue Brisket.
8) Consider making your brisket in advance. If you have the time and foresight to plan ahead, make your brisket a day or two ahead– the meat will improve with time. I like to prepare the brisket the day before I serve it, then put it in the refrigerator overnight. This saves prep time on the following day, and the flavors deepen overnight, which makes it taste even better.
Make Ahead Brisket Instructions: Make sure the brisket cools for about 20-30 minutes before putting it in the refrigerator. Place the brisket and cooking juices/sauce in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Cover it with plastic wrap (not foil, which can react if there is any acid in your sauce). Do not slice it. Cover brisket in the meat juices to let it marinate.
When you are ready to serve the brisket the next day, take it out of the refrigerator and skim the hardened fat that has risen to the surface of the sauce. Discard the fat pieces.
Take the brisket out of the sauce and slice it cold. Place the slices back in the baking dish and spoon the sauce over the sliced meat.
Cover the meat tightly with a layer of parchment, followed by a layer of foil, then warm it in the oven at 350 degrees F for 45-60 minutes, checking periodically to make sure it doesn't get dry. If you don't have a lot of cooking liquid, you may want to add some water or broth. You can cook the meat even longer to make it more tender if you wish.
9) Slice against the grain. Briskets have a distinct graining to the meat – if you look at the lines in the meat, they will generally be running in one direction. The key with getting a clean slice is to cut against this grain.
First, cut any large fat caps off of the brisket. Place the knife at a 90 degree angle from the direction of the grain line, and slice in that direction. This will ensure that you get clean slices which don't shred or fall apart too much. Be sure to use a high quality chef's knife, and keep it sharpened!
10) Choose a tasty and time-tested recipe. This is the most important tip of all, especially if you are new to brisket! Below you will find some of my favorite brisket recipes, all tried, tested and true. Read the user comments to learn more about these recipes and how they work in a home kitchen.
I really enjoyed reading your article. Very informative. I usually cook my brisket in onion soup, almost covering the whole meat, for hours in the oven over low heat. 9 out 10 times it's worked. Is this recommended?
You can certainly make it that way. I would recommend pan-searing beforehand for deeper flavor. If you want some variety try one of the recipes linked above.
Holiday Brisket! Growing up in NYC the Jewish Holidays were a time I was invited to share my friends parents and grandparents recipes. As a kid it was a time for me to learn about my friends' religion,sit at their table and share in the love, food and meaning of their Holidays. I'm so grateful when I think of the country today, that I was raised among the tapestry of the many people and cultures that make America so special. We weren't afraid of people's different customs, religions, celebrations, but embraced them all. Thanks for reminding me of the excitement of going back to school and looking forward to Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur. Sukkot and experiencing all those beautiful memories that mark so many wonderful moments of my life!
Hi Tori, the brisket recipe was great, very tender and flavorful. Maybe too tender as it broke apart when slicing. I followed the recipe for an eight pound piece. It was first cut, and Kosher. What would cause it to not hold as a slice when cut?
Hi Mike, cooking too long can make it overly tender. Towards the end of cooking you need to keep a close eye on it to see that it doesn't go "too far." Be sure to slice against the grain as described above. A very sharp knife will also help when slicing an over-tender brisket.
Will it be OK without reheating? Just to slice and serve after refrigerating overnight. I need it for a cold buffet lunch.
You could, but it's really better heated. If you're going to do this, I would suggest slicing it very thin and trimming any fat pieces.
First i love you web-sit.
I am making Your Brisket for the first time. Can i make it two days ahead .Thursday and serve on Saturday.
kugel's. Thank you for great recipes.
Hi Joyce, Tori's assistant Ashley here. Making ahead will be fine. Tori generally likes to have 1/2 pound per person, so this should be plenty for 5 people.
My open house is coming up… I am serving 3 medium tin pans of pulled pork, 20 sandwiches, and a few of a different noddles salads and some desserts.. we are estimating that 50-60 people will show up. we also want to get some brisket.. how many pounds do you think we should get?
Hi Kassey, Tori's assistant Ashley here. Most butchers recommend 1/2 lb of brisket per person and Tori usually gets an extra couple of pounds. Since you're having other things, I don't think you'd need quite so much.
I am hosting my husband's office party in our home. I'm having difficulty figurine out how much brisket to order (pre-cooked) brisket for approx 40 people. We will have other vegetarian dishes but hoping you can help.
Hi Joan, Tori's assistant Ashley here! Typically you should plan for about 1/2 lb of meat per person, so 20 lbs of brisket should be enough. If you want to be generous with portions you can always add to that.
We are meeting up with 16 people for a lake weekend later this month. I like to prepare in advance so that I don't have to cook all day. I have done brisket several times in a roaster oven and it turned out beautifully. My question: Can I cook the brisket, let it cook and then freeze it before slicing it. It will be in a frozen state for a week – we are stopping on the way to the lake for a retirement party – 2 day detour.
Hi Susan– yes that should be fine. Just make sure you factor in enough thaw time, a frozen solid piece of meat can take quite a while to safely defrost.
Hi- I struggle with how long to cook the brisket and at what temperature. Last year I followed a recommendation to put it in at a really low temperature, e.g. 200 degrees, for six hours. It came out terribly dry and I had to chuck it. The year prior it came out perfectly, but I cannot remember if I had cooked it at 300 or 350 and for how long. What is your advice on this? I have 12 pounds of raw brisket, and will be cutting into quarters, so 3 pounds for each slab of meat, each in its own pan.
Hi Lori- it really depends on the recipe you're using. I generally recommend cooking brisket low and slow, so my guess is your dry brisket was the result of a recipe rather than the cooking temperature. Most of my recipes recommend a cook temp of 300 degrees F and a cook time of 1 hour per pound of meat. But again, the results will vary widely based on the recipe you use.
325 degrees for about 5 hrs, or Until it is fork tender, i.e., you can stick a fork in it with little resistance. I i've done this for years and that usually works. Depending on your oven, it could take a little more or a little less, make sure to put plenty of liquid in the pot, withWhatever seasoning you are using.
I plan to slow cook my 4lb brisket in the slow cooker on low. For how long do you suggest? This is my first brisket! Thanks!
7-9 hours depending on how hot your slow cooker is (they tend to vary on how hot the low setting is). Enjoy!
I plan to make the brisket a day or two early and refrigerate. Can I heat it up in the slow cooker as my oven will be busy? What temperature and for how long do you suggest?
Kim, yes! Slow cookers vary in terms of heat level. In mine I reheat the refrigerated brisket on high for 1- 1 1/2 hours, that usually does the trick. Yours may heat faster or slower, depending on the wattage. Enjoy!
I make grass fed brisket all of the time. The key is SLOW cooking. And by slow, I mean that it is not ready for at least 14 to 16 hours in a slow cooker. When I first started cooking grass fed briskets, I took them out at 8 hours, like most of the recipes call for. Well, they were still full of connective tissue. I next tried 10 hours, and the same issue. At 12 hours, they were starting to be tender, but could still use some additional cook time. I have since learned to "let it go" when cooking brisket and don't even think of stopping cooking until at least 14 to 16 hours. If cooking vegetables with the brisket that I want to eat, versus blend into the sauce to thicken it, I wait to add the vegetables until the last 3 to 4 hours. Same thing with any seasonings other than salt and pepper. If I add them at the beginning of cooking, the flavor seems to just cook right out. I have no idea where it goes, as you would think it would flavor the sauce and meat, but nope….the flavor actually seems to disappear and taste almost "burnt". I know the same thing happens with 24+ hour bone broth though (add vegetables for flavoring in the last few hours of cook time, so I guess it's the same with slow cooker meat). Hope this helps!
Hi Tory, can I add vegetables to the crockpot brisket recipe like the traditional oven version? Thanks! This will be my first attempt at brisket.
Thanks for the tip on the weight. I wasn't sure what was optimal. I love leftovers so I'm not concerned about buying too much. Just thought I'd post… I've found slicing the brisket before you refrigerate it overnight is better bc the juices really go between each slice making it tastier.
That's a good point Jess. The main reason I wait on slicing is because it's easier to slice cold, the pieces hold together better and it's not as messy. It's really a matter of preference.
Thanks, Tori! I've never made brisket and have 15 people coming for Passover. Your detailed instructions are making me feel more confident to give this a try. I plan to do it a few days in advance, so if disaster ensues, I'll have time to try again… or purchase one cooked!
Let me know if you have any questions Robin!
I plan to slice and cook another hour tomorrow, before I serve. But when should I trim the fat? Before I refrigerate, or before I slice it tomorrow?
If I don't hear back, my gut says let it continue to sit in the fat, and trim it off tomorrow. But I hope you can respond before that! Thanks!
Hi Sheri, your instinct is right– trim the fat after refrigerating, before you slice it tomorrow. Enjoy!
Tori, I would LOVE to have your brisket recipe! My grandmother was not Jewish but worked for a family that kept Kosher for many many years. My grandmother passed away 4 years ago so I have no one to fix it for me and none of my Jewish friends ever have any left over from Passover.
Hey Toni! Here's a simple brisket recipe for the slow cooker. I'll be posting more brisket recipes in the coming months. Good luck!
My wife is a vegan … can I come have brisket at your house for Passover sedar?

Hi. So my old computer was died. I downloaded the MTC software on my new computer but now my shortcut buttons are gone and I can't figure out how to add them. They used to be on the bottom of my virtual mat. Specifically the shape magic buttons. How do I add short cuts to my virtual mat? Thank you.
Are you meaning the tool bars ?
When you look at your MTC installation, are any of the toolbars missing, in comparison to what is shown on page 49?
One nice thing about this online manual is that it is easy to jump to any page you want. At the top of the screen it shows which page you're on, and the total number of pages. You can click on the first number (where you are in the manual) and then type in 49 and press enter. You will then be on page 49 of the manual with the image I'm talking about.
Thanks for the tip with the page navigation that has really helped.
You can also press CTRL+F to invoke a universal find function (works in almost any program on a computer) and then type your search word to have it find all instances of the word. Usually how I find what I want to know.
@Gabe Thank you for the manual info, definitely very helpful. And yes, my MAGIC toolbar is missing even tho I have it checked. I check and uncheck and it doesn't appear or pop up. It was there on my old computer, and once I installed on this computer I haven't been able to get it on my screen.
I am assuming your using windows 10 ?
The print screen button may be labeled as "PrtScn," "PrntScrn," "Print Scr," or something similar.
When you press the key, it will look like nothing happened, but the screenshot has been saved to your clipboard.
Press the "Windows logo key + PrtScnThe screen will dim for a moment, and you will see the screenshot has appear as a file in a folder entitled "Screenshots", inside your default "Pictures" folder.
@Crazy_Mr_Zing Thank you. Snipping tool would not give me the screenshot I needed.
on the first picture you can see MAGIC TOOLBAR is checked but not there on the virtual mat.
From the view menu, untick the Magic Toolbar.
Now fix the top so that the File Toolbar is sitting at the very left edge. To move the toolbars, you click and drag on the dotted line at the left edge of each toolbar.
PS what is your monitor resolution? Try making the MTC window bigger.
@Liz_A It wasn't the tool bar I moved everything around and my magic tool bar is still invisible even though it is checked. After I'm done with these 60 shirts I am making for our Cheer teams Nationals this week, I will uninstall and re-install. Not sure that will make a difference, but I don't know what else to do.
@mayra71 - you never did answer my question as to what is the resolution of your monitor. The height value is the one I am looking for. MTC requires a minimum height resolution, or the bottom of the window will be cut off. If your device is a like a mini laptop, this may be the issue, and its not fixable. What is the brand and model of what you are using.


Over at ITEAD, they have come out with the Sonoff iFan02. This replaces a standard FAN control mechanism with a WiFi enabled one. Provides three fan speeds and dimming control over a light as well as an IR remote.
If you're stuck for Ethernet based connectivity on a Pi Zero, then this simple board provides the standard ENC28J60 Ethernet IC as a simple Pi hat.
They also have an MT3620 development board available on pre-order. This is an Azure Sphere compliant board therefore runs the Azure Sphere O/S and provides 45 GPIOs for hacking around with.
Mobile connectivity boards are still fairly expensive, but coming down in price. This Pi hat runs the U-blox LARA-R203 module giving you LTE CAT1 with a fallback to 2G. Access is over USB or UART and they've thrown in a couple of Grove ports as well.
Then there's the Wio LTE, which is a board giving you LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT. It runs an STM32 breaking out 6 Grove ports and an SD slot. It can be programmed up with the Arduino IDE, MBed or Espruino.
AdaFruit have come out with the ItsyBitsy M4 Express. Sporting the almost new SAMD51 MCU. This is a step up from the humble SAMD21, giving you a 120MHz Cortex M4, 512KB flash and 192KB RAM. The board also has an additional 2MB SPI flash allowing you to run CircuitPython code.
Over at SparkFun, they have the Pixy2 CMUcam5. This is a step up from the previous version giving you 60 FPS object detection and tracking at 1296 by 976 resolution.
They also have in the MLX90640 IR array, which is an array of 32 by 24 thermopile sensors. It's essentially a cheaper version of the FLIR based thermal cameras.
DFRobot has a cheaper version of their high end LIDAR. For US$99 you get a LIDAR with a range of 12m and 8,000 sample points at 10Hz. Access is via USB.
And a FireBeetle media cover that has an NAU8822 audio CODEC allowing recording audio from the on-board MIC and an OV7725 based MIPI-CSI camera.
The Sunflower is a pretty decent Solar Power Manager board. It allows charging a battery using MPPT from a 7 to 30v solar panel input with a maximum charge current of 2A. It also provides three regulated outputs; 1A at 3.3v, 1.5A at 5v and 500mA at 12v, and contains all the usual power protection circuitry. A pretty decent board.
If you are playing around with composite video sources, then this FireBeetle cover will allow you to overlay OSD text on to an AV input signal at up to 540 by 192 pixels.
The LattePanda Delta was a successful Kickstarter a while back. DFRobot are now putting this up as a pre-order. The US$168 version runs the 2.4GHz quad-core Intel N4100 CPU, with 4G DDR4 RAM, 32G eMMC, two M.2 key slots, GbE, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3 USB3.0, 100 GPIOs, yes 100 GPIOs, and 4K/60Hz capable HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
Really, bang for your buck is pretty good with this little baby.
There's also the LattePanda Alpha 8G, which is more of a powerhouse running an Intel i7, with 8G DDR3 RAM and all the same GPIOs as the Delta.


(link) CogNeA is pushing their standard into ECMA.
CogNeA contributed its specification to Ecma's TC48-TG1 that will further develop it and plans to finalise the 1st edition for publication by the end of 2009. The Standard comprises Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) layers that include interference-avoidance mechanisms. The Physical layer, interference-avoidance and cognitive radio technologies, will be specified such that other wireless networking standards, looking to operate in the TV whitespaces, can use it.
(link) Wi-Rider is a new Georgia Tech spin-out that looks like it's coupling a REM-like collection of databases with a networked centralized manager for radio resources. Here's their tech brief. Based on their website's presentation, I think this is intended as a piece of CogNeA.
Washington Technology announced that Shared Spectrum's xG technology (DSA) is going to be ported to the Harris Falcon III radio for proof-of-concept and feasibility analysis as part of an extension of the DARPA xG program.
That's interesting because I thought that was already going on as I had heard some second-hand reports of initial performance testing results from a couple different sources. So maybe it's progressed far enough now that they're wanting to advertise a little.
They now have a website hosted out of USF. Of particular interest is their call for papers page and their links to cognitive standards.

Take a Canal Boat Holiday this Halloween
Posted on November 1, 2011 November 1, 2011 by rob52
Reputedly playing host to hundreds of ghosts, with bats and frogs aplenty, creepy tunnels, spooky locks, misty towpaths and thousands of historic buildings along the way, Britain's 200-year old canal network provides the perfect backdrop for a haunting Halloween afloat.
Drifters Waterway Holidays offers over 500 boats from 35 bases across the country (www.drifters.co.uk).
Here are a few of the spookiest places to go:
The Shropshire Union Canal is said to be Britain's most haunted canal with five ghosts along its length, including 'The Monkey Man' at Bridge 39 near Norbury. The hideous black, shaggy coated being is said to be the ghost of a boatman drowned there in the 19th century. And at Betton Cutting near Market Drayton a shrieking spectre has been seen and heard. See if you can spot them by heading north from Drifters' base at Brewood on the Shropshire Union Canal in Staffordshire near Stafford. A short break for four costs £454 (28-31 October).
Get the chills in Chester by visiting the city's old Northgate where the canal was dug into part of the town's moat and a Roman centurion can sometimes be seen guarding the entrance to the city. You can also visit Chester's The King's Inn, an old coaching inn believed to be haunted by three separate spirits. Hire a boat from Drifters' base at Bunbury on the Shropshire Union Canal in Cheshire and you can easily make it to Chester and back on a short break, cruising for a total of 14 hours and negotiating 18 locks. Try a boat for four from just £396 or a boat for six for £487 (28-31 October).
Blisworth Tunnel on the Grand Union Canal in Northamptonshire has spooked a number of boaters over the years. At 3,076 yards (2.81km) it's one of the longest on the canal system. When construction began in 1793, the tunnel was a major feat of engineering. Teams of navvies worked with picks and shovels for three years until they hit quicksand and the tunnel collapsed, killing 14 men. A new route for the tunnel was found and it finally opened on 25 March 1805. Over the years, a number of boaters travelling through the tunnel have reported seeing lights and a fork in the waterways. But the tunnel runs straight through the hill so people have seen the flicker of candlelight at the spot where the first tunnel would have intersected with the main canal tunnel, showing the ghostly navvies are still working there! Hire a boat from Drifters' popular base at Gayton on the Grand Union Canal close to the Blisworth Tunnel and travel to Crick and back on a short break, which includes a trip through the tunnel. A boat for six for the Halloween weekend costs £665 (28-31 October).
At the Union Canal tunnel at Falkirk in Scotland, two walkers and their dogs were terrified by an apparition of a man who had been lured to the tunnel in the 1940s and viciously murdered after he had been unable to pay his gambling debt. And there are plenty of ghostly goings on in the historic city of Edinburgh, including the ghost of the Great Lafayette at Edinburgh Festival Theatre, a magician who was killed in fire there. From the Drifters hire boat base at Falkirk, you can travel the 32 rural and peaceful miles to Edinburgh along the Union Canal in just two leisurely days, arriving at Edinburgh Quay, just five minutes walk from Princes Street. Take a boat for four from Falkirk for £536 (28-31 Oct) or a boat for six for £665 (28-31 Oct).
The Trent & Mersey Canal's Harecastle Tunnel at Kidsgrove is said to be home to a shrieking boggart – the ghost of Kit Crewbucket who was murdered and whose headless corpse was dumped in the canal. Hire a boat for four from Drifter's base at Stoke on Trent on the Trent & Mersey Canal in Staffordshire for £523 (28-31 Oct).
The Llangollen Canal in Wrexham is haunted by an eerie figure that can sometimes be seen on moonlit nights gliding along the towpath by the incredible Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Hire a boat for four for a week from Drifters' base at Trevor, right next to the Aqueduct for £670 (28 Oct to 4 Nov) or £469 for short break (28-31 Oct).
At 3.25 miles long, The spooky Standedge Tunnel in Yorkshire is the longest, highest and deepest canal on the UK canal system and certainly not for the feint hearted! Take a boat for a week from Drifters' base at Sowerby Bridge on the leafy Calder & Hebble Navigation in West Yorkshire and cruise through the stunning Calder Valley, then onto the Huddersfield Broad Canal to Huddersfield. There you can moor the boat and switch to a train for a scenic rail trip to Marsden and the Standedge Tunnel Visitor Centre which is running special haunted Halloween boat trips (22-30 October). A boat for six for a week from Sowerby Bridge costs £890 (28 Oct to 3 Nov).

Children of all ages can take part in fun and games at Dudley and Halesowen leisure centres during the Easter holidays.
The Dudley Council owned facilities will be hosting a jam packed fortnight of fun from Saturday 13 to Sunday 28 April.
Both centres are opening their pools every day with free swimming offered to children aged 16 and under who have registered for the council's scheme.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays during the holidays, there will be two full days of 'junior activezone' fun at Dudley Leisure Centre. Suitable for children aged 8 to 12 years, the activities will run from 9am to 4pm including multi skills, crafts, team games and swimming. It costs £20 each day per child.
At Halesowen Leisure Centre an inflatable aqua run session for children aged eight years and above will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the holiday. Children must be a minimum of 1.2 metres in height and are required to take a swimming test. There are also fun float sessions every Monday and Friday during the holidays. Sessions take place from 1.15pm to 3pm in the main pool and 1.30pm to 3pm in the learner pool. Both fun sessions cost £4.40 for adults and £2.90 for under 16s.
Juniors can take advantage of the £7 for 7 days offer at Halesowen Leisure Centre on both weeks and receive unlimited access between 9am – 5pm. Activities include use of the swimming pools, fun aqua run and float sessions, plus use of the squash courts and table tennis.
Alan Lunt, strategic director for place, said:
We have a wonderful variety of activities on offer at Dudley and Halesowen Leisure Centre this Easter and I am confident these sessions will be popular with children and parents alike."

T-Minus 365 Days…
Windows 7 is currently the most widely used operating system with 40% of all computer users still running on this system, according to Net Application.
In less than 365 days, January 14, 2020, Windows 7 will reach the end of it's product lifecycle. This means any users still using this operating system at this time will be vulnerable to security risks and viruses. In addition to the dramatically increased risk of security threats, users who remain on Windows 7 will no longer receive technical support from Microsoft for Windows 7.
When asked what a Windows 7 user should do, Microsoft has shared the following:
"For most Windows 7 users, moving to a new device with Windows 10 will be the recommended path forward. Today's PCs are faster, lightweight, yet powerful and more secure, with an average price that's considerably less than that of the average PC eight years ago."
Like it or not, change is inevitable when it comes to IT and the countdown for Windows 7 EOS has begun. Thankfully, there is still time to prepare and make the shift from Windows 7 to a modern desktop, and we are happy to help.

This release changes the fragment interface so that the content toggle is disabled when the content to display doesn't exist.
This change saves you from unnecessary clicks and allows you to traverse your fragment network more smoothly.
Thanks for this new release. Momentum restored. View by Title now works splendidly; and making the content toggle button conditional on internal content improves ease-of-use.
I believe Piggydb's new treatment of context parents and update info needs a bit more refinement. The parents were previously shown only with detail content, but the conditional nature of the content toggle means they're now usually in view with each listed fragment.
In non-hierarchical displays, we have the slider control, which can be set to hide context parents. In v. 4.21, the point on the slider that triggers display of tags also triggers display of context parents and update info. I think displays would be less cluttered if the trigger point for parents and update info were one notch farther to the right than that of tags.
In hierarchical displays, we can toggle the display of each fragment's children, but display of all parents is now automatic. This to me breaks the coherence and connectedness of the fragments. In the future direction of the program, parent fragments might actually be treated more like child fragments, toggled and displayed in the same manner, as they are really all members of the larger set of first-adjacent fragments. But parent fragments are also similar to tags, in that they are unordered attributes.
I think the best use of space would be achieved by wrapping parent fragments with the tags, in compressed form: the numeric link, the "remove this relationship" control, and a truncated name with a pop-up caption. That's a personal preference which I may undertake to implement on my own.
But depending on how others feel about automatic display of context parents, perhaps you'd consider a slider that controls the level of detail in hierarchical displays, as we have in non-hierarchical displays. This control would incorporate the function of the global content toggle on the far right, with more granular options.
As Piggydb is so fabulously customizable, I've rendered the "up-arrow" context parents invisible through Stylish CSS, with just a small change to the macro to distinguish them stylistically from the always-needed "down-arrow" context parents associated with the top-level fragment on display. So my preferred look and feel is already somewhat in the bag, but I do believe the general user would enjoy a bit more control.
>I think displays would be less cluttered if the trigger point for parents and update info were one notch farther to the right than that of tags.
>This to me breaks the coherence and connectedness of the fragments. In the future direction of the program, parent fragments might actually be treated more like child fragments, toggled and displayed in the same manner, as they are really all members of the larger set of first-adjacent fragments.
Although it is a necessary step to implement conditional content toggle, I was concerned whether the display of parents by default is a little verbose for some users.
With the slider improvement you suggested, it shouldn't be a problem in non-hierarchical displays, but in hierarchical displays it needs a bit more refinement as you wrote.
-Should parents be treated as the same as children?
–I suspect the number of parents tends to be smaller than that of children.
–It might be good idea, but I don't want to treat tags and parents in the same way because it would be confusing. I'm often thinking about the difference between tags and parents, sometimes the border is quite vague and thus it confuses users. I would rather separate these two concept in the user interface.
–The same as tags and parents, I think that the non-hierarchical view and the hierarchical view should be treated in different ways. The hierarchical view is intended to allow users to browse organized structure, and on the other hand the slider control is used to browse a large number of fragments in a flat (unorganized) way. So I think that a slider for hierarchical view would discourage users from organizing fragments continuously.
You're right; a slider would not make sense in the hierarchical view, which is built on expansion and exploration of individual fragments.
But, having thought about it some more, I'm convinced that a toggled, expandable view of context parents would work very well, and offer several advantages over the wraparound, link-only view.
Context parents convey valuable information about a fragment; they show, like tags, the sets of which the fragment is a member.
Making these parents expandable would enable the user to show where the fragment is positioned in its other hierarchies. And it would display, at a click, the fragment's hidden siblings, the other children of a fragment's context parents. I believe there's no sure way to do that currently in Piggydb. These siblings are prime candidates for new relationships, and allow the user to ascertain that he's treating like fragments alike. Example: 12 songs in the hierarchy of a Sondheim show, but we count only 10 of them in the hierarchy of Sondheim songs.
This feature would require a second expansion toggle, probably adjacent to the content toggle, and conditioned on there being at least one parent other than the one already displayed. Expanded parent fragments could get their rows and distinctive icon, and a rule line to separate them from the child fragments.
I think this would be a great capability for Piggydb. And it's logical. Piggydb is a flattened, recursive rendition of a mind map; a user will want to traverse each node in every direction and with selective expansion points.
That's my last feature suggestion until your next release, as changes are so much more easily said than done. Piggydb makes a great thought model, and I hope the project continues to be fun and interesting for its developer.
>I'm convinced that a toggled, expandable view of context parents would work very well, and offer several advantages over the wraparound, link-only view. … it would display, at a click, the fragment's hidden siblings, the other children of a fragment's context parents.
I agree with you that traversing a tree bottom-up is awkward and not smooth in comparison to top-down in the current Piggydb. But I think that expandable view of context parents would be a little too much and it would be difficult to keep the UI simple and intuitive with it. How about an additional pane, which you suggested before (I just added it to the issue list: http://piggydb.lighthouseapp.com/projects/61149-piggydb/tickets/15)? It would be useful when you want to get a sneak view of a context parent.
And an interesting question arises from this issue: does a relationship really need a direction by default? I have been thinking about this for long time and my current conclusion is "not necessarily". If each relationship doesn't have a direction, then you can traverse a tree either top-down or bottom-up in the same way. And there are often cases when you can't decide the direction of a relationship easily.
A second pane, whose drag-icons communicate with the first, would be a terrific enhancement for a variety of displays. Ideally, that pane could wrap displays you've previously written as standalone, opening up all sorts of combinations.
Using a second pane to access alternate parents and siblings of a fragment in focus sounds like a natural fit. Actually, with Piggydb's hierarchical tagging mechanism, my style has evolved to where the true siblings of a fragment tend to be those fragments that share tags, rather than those that share parents. So that's another suitable query for a second pane. As for interface, this might be a good candidate for the clutter-saving pop-up menu that follows the cursor.
I'm still convinced of the inevitability of omnidirectional node navigation in the first pane. Perhaps that's a ways off. But Piggydb is modular, a series of macros that self-execute within a table structure. Which means that once you've written a macro, an advanced user can move it around a little!
The second pane is a great direction for Piggydb. I'll be thrilled to see your implementation.

Bush's response
Don Park
from the state of the union 2007, i'll synthesize a response to the previous post.
"Such debates are essential when a great democracy faces great questions. Yet one question has surely been settled: that to win the war on terror we must take the fight to the enemy. (Applause.)"
Taking the fight to the enemy seems to be the current leading reason to be in iraq.
"From the start, America and our allies have protected our people by staying on the offense. The enemy knows that the days of comfortable sanctuary, easy movement, steady financing, and free flowing communications are long over. For the terrorists, life since 9/11 has never been the same.
Our success in this war is often measured by the things that did not happen. We cannot know the full extent of the attacks that we and our allies have prevented, but here is some of what we do know: We stopped an al Qaeda plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the tallest building on the West Coast. We broke up a Southeast Asian terror cell grooming operatives for attacks inside the United States. We uncovered an al Qaeda cell developing anthrax to be used in attacks against America."
translation: If we leave Iraq, we'll be bombed at home.
"Every success against the terrorists is a reminder of the shoreless ambitions of this enemy. The evil that inspired and rejoiced in 9/11 is still at work in the world. And so long as that's the case, America is still a nation at war.
In the mind of the terrorist, this war began well before September the 11th, and will not end until their radical vision is fulfilled"
Often, the reason we're given for spending billions of $ and thousands of lives is to work against nebulous concepts like "the enemy" and "terrorists".
"In the sixth year since our nation was attacked, I wish I could report to you that the dangers had ended. They have not. And so it remains the policy of this government to use every lawful and proper tool of intelligence, diplomacy, law enforcement, and military action to do our duty, to find these enemies, and to protect the American people. (Applause.)
This war is more than a clash of arms -- it is a decisive ideological struggle, and the security of our nation is in the balance. To prevail, we must remove the conditions that inspire blind hatred, and drove 19 men to get onto airplanes and to come and kill us. What every terrorist fears most is human freedom..."
I call that mostly fear-mongering. America has always had enemies and full-scale invasion into this particular country at this particular time is not the answer. Save the troops for a clear and present danger. I'm all for special ops going after terrorist groups- a dozen Delta Force groups of 50 going after a dozen terrorist groups of 100 who plan to bomb things, etc.. But not 180,000 troops against half of Iraq where the reasons for fighting blurs into a national occupation force which in itself creates reasons for 'insurgents' to fight that has nothing to do with 'fearing human freedom'. Bring the troops home now.
"And in 2005, the Iraqi people held three national elections, choosing a transitional government, adopting the most progressive, democratic constitution in the Arab world, and then electing a government under that constitution. Despite endless threats from the killers in their midst, nearly 12 million Iraqi citizens came out to vote in a show of hope and solidarity that we should never forget. (Applause.)"
thats my favorite line from the speech. i think thats a tangible benefit to the war/occupation.
" If American forces step back before Baghdad is secure, the Iraqi government would be overrun by extremists on all sides. We could expect an epic battle between Shia extremists backed by Iran, and Sunni extremists aided by al Qaeda and supporters of the old regime. A contagion of violence could spill out across the country -- and in time, the entire region could be drawn into the conflict."
Id have to be closer to the situation to really evaluate the likelyhood of this. Its an important consideration for sure. But from what I know, I still say the chance is not worth more billions and more hundreds/thousands of american lives.

Having trouble with a few plants.
My aloe vera, peppermint, and garden sage, specifically.
I think my aloe got baked in the hot sun, but I've moved it indoors, close to a south facing window that gets lots of sun, and it is continuing to wither. I water it whenever the soil, which is a special succulent mix, is completely dry. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
My peppermint was doing really well, then just started dying. I clipped off the dead growth, and new leaves have started growing. It is growing in Scotts Hyponex potting soil, and gets watered 2-3 times a week. I thought maybe the freak heat wave have baked it as well, so I moved it to the same window as the aloe.
The sage is in a large outdoor planter, with the same Hyponex soil as the mint. I have it sitting in a warm sunny spot, and water it about twice a week. It has not grown at all since I planted it a month ago.
Re: Having trouble with a few plants.
I've read many poor reviews of Scotts Hyponex potting soil , may want to repot in some Pro-Mix or Sunshine Mix or similar. Also, if they're inside and still being watered 2-3 times a week that may be too much as well unless the potting mix has no water retention ability. My advice would be a potting mix change. Hope this helps.
Hyponex is not the best quality soil. MG potting soil, black gold, Gardener and Bloom are the better soil mixes here.
I use a lot of potting soil, so I prefer to make my own using 50% peat moss and 50% perlite plus osmocote slow release fertilizer. I have used this mix for years for everything. The peat provides good root support and the perlite can be decreased if you want a mix that holds more water. I have a lot of rain so I need a mix that can handle water everyday.
Some people are experimenting with other soil mixes and you can probably find other recipes.
I tried coir and it holds too much water as does mixes that have more than 20% compost in them. If I add compost to my mix, it is vermicompost.
For citrus trees I plant in pure black cinder. I fertilize with a slow release and citrus food when I get around to it. The black cinder will never contract in the pot and to keep citrus trees in pots for 15 years, aeration is the most important thing.
Help! What are these plants?!

Title IX a great success story
By John Fitzgerald (Minnesota 2020) | March 3, 2010
Ice hockey, basketball, softball – all great sports, all enjoyed by women throughout the U.S., and all have grown thanks to Title IX. The law is almost 40 years old and its successes are evident in almost every high school and college in Minnesota and the nation.
Title IX requires schools and colleges receiving federal money to provide the same opportunities for girls as they do for boys. The effects in high school were remarkable. Just six years after the 1972 enactment of Title IX, the percentage of girls playing team sports had jumped from about 4 percent to 25 percent. One expert put the number of pre-Title IX women in high school athletics at 1 in 27, as opposed to today's 1 in 3.
The benefits of Title IX are not to be dismissed. Betsey Stevenson, an economist at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, examined Title IX and found that "the estimates on the returns to sports suggest that sports may be as important as more traditional education policy questions such as class size or other aspects of curriculum." She found that changes set in motion by Title IX explained about 40 percent of the rise in employment for 25-to-34-year-old women.
"It's not just that the people who are going to do well in life play sports, but that sports help people do better in life," she told the New York Times, adding, "While I only show this for girls, it's reasonable to believe it's true for boys as well."
This is a position understood well by Barb Beise, the Assistant Athletics Director at Wayzata High School. Beise is a direct product of Title IX. She played volleyball, basketball and softball in high school, and then basketball and softball at Concordia College in St. Paul. She went on to coach junior varsity softball at Central Park High School for a year before moving to Cretin-Derham Hall High School to coach various levels of volleyball, basketball and softball. While at Cretin-Derham Hall she earned her master's degree and, 14 years ago, took the job as assistant athletic director at Wayzata High.
She agrees with Stevenson that being active in sports helps girls develop qualities that help them later in life.
"A lot of these kids, they know they're not going to be varsity starters or going to play in college, but just being on a team and contributing gives them confidence to go on to college and to succeed afterwards," she said.
Stephanie Schleuder remembers what women's sports were like before Title IX. She remembers girls teams practicing when the boys JV decided to get off the court, when they bought their own uniforms and drove themselves to away games.
A product of Richfield High School and the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Schleuder was volleyball coach at the University of Alabama during the 1970s, at the University of Minnesota from 1981 to 1995, and at Macalester College from 1995 until this January when she retired.
She said women's athletics have opened doors, not only because of the increased number of athletic scholarships offered to women, but also because employers see the benefits of a background in athletics. "They believe they have the intangibles," she said. "They're more confident, more resilient, used to failure and competition, better team players. Almost all the women in President Obama's Cabinet competed in collegiate athletics."
Keeping Title IX on track has not always been easy, Schleuder said, especially when non-revenue men's sports see scarce resources being used for women's athletics. It's important to remain vigilant, she said.
Title IX has been a success because it empowered a long-neglected portion of American students. For the United States, and more importantly Minnesota, to continue to have a viable workforce in the 21st century, we need all students to be educated to the best of their abilities. Athletics allows us to do this. Title IX must continue and must remain healthy.
