Tim Burke responds to the Levy article with some good discussion in the comments.
I'm making a pot roast tonight. Never made one before, but Steve got some cheap meat on sale and this is apparently what one does with cheap meat. Oh, look, Mark Bittman is making a veal stew today.
Emmy Noether? Every hear of her? Maybe we should.

6:23 and you’re STARTING a pot roast? YOW! In our house, we usually put it in red wine, garlic, herbs, olive oil in a plastic bag in the fridge in the morning, then put it in at 325 about 2. Tender & yummy by dinner time. If you’re not happy with today’s results, try my method next time.

I put it in at 2:30, but only at 200 degrees. It’s not ready yet.

Never made a pot roast? When I was a kid, we lived on the stuff.
Plain old pot roast is a bit boring, but I’m rather fond of Swiss steak (very tender, with potatoes, carrots, and tomato).

200? You need to turn up the heat. I do mine at 325 in a dutch oven and it takes 4 hours for 3-4lbs.

Great job with the articles that are getting all the attention. You may want to cook roast in a warmer oven. The post has many interesting links.

By now your pot roast is a winner or not, but it’s always partly about the starch you serve it with–something to soak up the cooking liquid.

So, how was the pot roast?
Burke’s discussion was interesting & thoughtful. More applicable to a swell SLAC, I think, than to Directional State College and how to best serve the needs of students looking for a degree in Fire Science to rise in their local fire departments. I think SLACs are wonderful for the kids who can benefit from them, and I hope to dig deep and send my kids off to them, but I think they are grotesquely high-cost relative to what we can do for the great mass of students, and not too likely to be optimal for credential seekers who are gritting their teeth and moving towards their Bachelor of Fire Science degrees.
