There is a major new development in the ongoing saga of incidents along the Iran-Pakistan border. Recall that a group of Sunni extremists, Jeish Al-Adl, captured five Iranian border guards in early February (after killing 14 in an attack last October). Iran had briefly claimed that the guards had been released earlier this month, but then quickly backed down on that claim. It seems that Iran has difficulty getting accurate information on the status of the guards, as they first denied and then finally confirmed that the highest ranking of the guards, Jamshid Danaeifar (his face is circled on a photo of the detained guards that is circulating on Twitter) has been executed:
Informed sources in Pakistan confirmed earlier reports that Jeish al-Adl terrorist group has executed one of the five Iranian border guards that it abducted along Iran-Pakistan border on February 6.
The sources told FNA in Islamabad on Monday that "Jeish al-Adl has martyred one of the kidnapped border guards".
This is while the Iranian Interior Ministry earlier today rejected Jeish al-Adl's claim.
"We don't confirm this report; were it true, we would have been informed," Interior Ministry Spokesman Hossein Ali Amiri said on Monday.He said that the five border guards are kept in Pakistan at present and are safe and sound.
Amiri made the remarks after Jeish al-Adl claimed on its tweeter page that it has killed Jamshid Danayeefar, one of the kidnapped border guards.
News of the execution came just as Iran had been expressing hope that the guards were about to be released. From an earlier report on Sunday by Fars News:
Efforts and consultations with the Pakistani officials still continue to secure the release of the five border guards abducted along Iran-Pakistan border on February 6, an Iranian official announced on Sunday.
"Talks with national and local Pakistani officials have been held at different levels and they have made some promises," Governor-General of Iran's Southeastern Sistan and Balouchestan province Ali Awsat Hashemi told FNA today.
He expressed the hope that the five young border guards would be released to return to their families soon.
Writing at the International Policy Digest, Sadaf Megan informs us that Jeish Al-Adl has stated that if their demands on the release of prisoners are not met, they will execute another prisoner in ten days:
In the statement following the announcement of his death, Jaish al-Adl demands that if 50 of their prisoners are not released by Iran then Jaish al-Adl will execute another hostage within 10 days.
The clock is ticking for the four remaining "pasdar(s)" or guards. In the meantime it seems unlikely that the Iranian government will be able to fulfill or want to meet the demands of Jaish Al-Adl. A regime that does not succumb to threats and ultimatums by the West is unlikely to make a deal with a terrorist group.
The article also has interesting background information on Jeish Al-Adl, providing perspective on the relationship with Jundallah:
Jaish al-Adl operates in the Sistan-Baluchistan region of Iran, and frequently utilizes the Iranian-Pakistani border to carry out attacks. Cross border operations have been practiced during the time of Abdolmalek Rigi's Sunni Balochi group, Jundallah. After Iran executed Rigi in 2010, Jundallah dissolved and merged with Jaish al-Adl.
Stay tuned for further developments. With Pakistan still reeling from the Carlotta Gall article the Express Tribune wound up censoring entirely because of its revelations of ISI sheltering bin Laden, they risk displaying more evidence of collaboration with terrorists if they are unable to secure the release of the remaining border guards before the next one is executed.
The last time we checked in on the ongoing incidents along the Iran-Pakistan border, fourteen Iranian border guards had been killed on October 25 in an attack and Iran had promptly executed sixteen prisoners the next day in retaliation. A subgroup within Jundallah, Jeish Al-Adl, was credited for the attack, and Iran made veiled accusations about what countries might be backing the group.
A bit later, on November 5, an Iranian legislator (who seems to make mostly hard-liner pronouncements) publicly accused the United States and Pakistan's ISI of being behind Jeish Al-Adl's actions:
An Iranian lawmaker says the US and Pakistani intelligence services lead the Pakistan-based Jaish-ul-Adl terrorist group responsible for the recent deadly attack on Iranian border guards.
"The key point in this case is the role that US spy agencies play by means of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in conducting such terrorist attacks. This issue has been confirmed in the meeting between representatives of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and members of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee," Javad Karimi Qoddousi said on Monday.
He added, "The direct affiliation of these groups to US spy agencies and the ISI's control over such terrorist outfits have been authenticated."
The next day, a prosecutor in the border town of Zabol was killed. Jeish Al-Adl quickly claimed responsibility:
The Sunni armed group Jaish-ul Adl has claimed responsibility for the assassination of a public prosecutor in Iran's southeast, media reports say.
Thursday's reports came a day after Mousa Nouri - prosecutor of the city of Zabol, which lies near the Afghan border in Sistan-Baluchestan province - was slain in a "terrorist attack," according to officials.
Jaish-ul Adl, the rebel group formed last year whose name means Army of Justice in Arabic, said in a statement Wednesday night that the killing was carried out in retaliation for a mass hanging last week.
"After the hanging of 16 innocent young Baluchis, the fighters decided to take revenge and kill a judicial official," read the statement posted on the group's website, jaishuladl.blogspot.fr.
Security forces later killed four rebels in a separate clash near Mirjaveh, a town close to the border with Pakistan, officials said last week.
But Iran announced on November 18 that they had captured the prosecutor's killers. They went to great lengths to point out that the killers were drug smugglers unrelated to Jeish Al-Adl: Continue reading
Recall that back in October, near the town of Saravan in southeastern Iran, 14 Iranian border guards were killed by attackers who had infiltrated from the adjacent border with Pakistan. Iran retaliated very quickly, executing 16 prisoners the next day. A previously unknown group, Jaish al-Adl, claimed responsibility and has since been described as a radical Sunni Wahhabi group with ties to Jundallah.
We learn today from Fars News that skirmishes with Iranian border guards have continued since that attack, with as many as 100 attacks having taken place since March and up to two a day since the October incident:
Lieutenant Commander of Iran's Border Guard Force Brigadier General Ahmad Garavand vowed tough battle against any kind of terrorist move along the country's borders, and said the border guards have repelled tens of terrorist attacks against the country.
General Garavand pointed to constant clashes between the Iranian border guards and outlaws, and said, "We have had 100 clashes since the beginning of this (Iranian) year (started March 20) and 2 border clashes per day on average after the recent terrorist attacks in Saravan."
It would appear that the border guards are facing a budget crisis (perhaps a product of US sanctions?):
Meantime, Garavand reiterated that the government should earmark more budget for sealing the country's borders, and said, "Only 28 percent of the required budget for sealing the borders has been allocated in the past months."
Where the article goes next is a very interesting development. I had missed this bit of news in the original aftermath of the October incident, but Garavand mentions that the IRGC has vowed to take action in response:
After the attack the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in a statement vowed to take action against.
Perhaps this is just a natural outcome of the budget limitations of the border guards, but it seems more likely to me that this is a significant step that indicates just how seriously Iran views these border incidents. And right on cue, we have reports today by both Fars News and Mehr News that the IRGC took action to free two hostages who had been captured near the border. From the Fars story:
The Quds Forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) released the two hostages that had been taken by a group of outlaws in Southeastern Iran yesterday.
On Monday night a group of bandits took two Iranian citizens hostage in the city of Iranshahr in the Sistan and Balouchestan province.
Some hours later in early Tuesday morning, the captured civilians were released in an IRGC surprise operation which left three bandits dead and 3 others injured.
So we now have not just the IRGC, but the elite Quds force that reports directly to Khamenei involved in today's incident. Continue reading
Before diving into Friday night's border incident where fourteen Iranian border guards were killed and Iran retaliated the next morning by hanging sixteen prisoners already in detention, we need to look back at the important events surrounding other such outbreaks of violence at the Iran-Pakistan border.
On January 1 of 2012, Pakistan detained three Iranian border guards whom they claimed had crossed into Pakistan. Details of the event were sketchy, but Iran claimed the guards were chasing drug smugglers and most of the stories on the event brought up the likely involvement of the group known as Jundallah. Less than two weeks later, a prominent Iranian nuclear scientist was assassinated on January 11. Only two days after that event, the famous "false flag" article by Mark Perry appeared in Foreign Policy, making the remarkable claim that Mossad agents were posing as CIA agents while recruiting members of Jundallah for operations including assassinations. Marcy had a series of three posts (one, two, three) delving into the many implications surrounding the false flag accusation. Another border incident then happened in late January, where six "Pakistanis" were killed by Iranian border agents, but there was a lot of confusion over just who the victims were, including their nationality.
Here is how Reuters first broke the news Saturday on this latest incident:
Fourteen Iranian border guards were killed and three others captured by "bandits" on the southeastern frontier with Pakistan overnight, Iranian media reported on Saturday.
In response, the Iranian judiciary executed 16 people it said were elements of "terrorist" groups, according to the ISNA news agency. There were no further details of who they were or whether or when they had been tried.
A follow-up story by Dawn from Sunday has more details, with the identity of the attackers unknown (but Jundallah is still mentioned prominently in the article):
It was still unclear whether the attackers were drug smugglers or armed opposition groups.
However, Iran's Deputy Interior Minister Ali Abdollahi called on the Pakistani government to "take measures to control the border more seriously."
Pakistan's charge d'affaires was received at the Iranian foreign ministry to receive an official demand that Islamabad "act firmly with officials and members of terrorist groups who have fled to Pakistani territory," IRNA reported.
The Dawn article also notes a second, separate border incident on Sunday in which one Pakistani was killed and four others were wounded.
Responsibility for the attack has now been claimed by a group known as Jeish Al-Adl:
A little-known Iranian Sunni group says it carried out the killing of 14 border guards on Friday night.
Jaish al-Adl said the attack was in retaliation for an alleged Iranian "massacre" in Syria and the "cruel treatment" of Sunnis in Iran.
Iran is now saying that they are a subgroup within Jundallah:
14 Iranian border guards were killed and 6 more were injured during the terrorist attack in Saravan border region in Southeastern Iran in the early hours of Saturday morning. The terrorists who have reportedly been members of the outlawed Jeish Al-Adl radical Sunni Wahhabi movement affiliated to the terrorist Jundollah group fled into Pakistan after the operation in Iran's Southeastern Sistan and Balouchestan province.
It seems quite interesting to me that Iran would point out the "radical Sunni Wahhabi" connection of the group they are blaming. Of course, the primary sponsor of "radical Sunni Wahhabi" teachings is Saudi Arabia through their madrassas. But Iran seems to be dancing around an outright referral to Saudi involvement in this attack, even though it would make sense since we know that Bandar is now very upset both with the US "failure" to launch a strike on the Assad regime in Syria and the US diplomatic push toward Iran. This same Fars News article doesn't name names, but refers to "two countries" providing financial support and "three countries" providing intelligence and equipment to them: Continue reading
I've long suggested that our attempts to suggest Mossad was running the MEK (and Jundallah) led covert operations in Iran were attempts to hide US cooperation with those groups against Iran.
Sy Hersh confirms precisely that speculation with respect to the MEK.
The former senior intelligence official I spoke with seconded the NBC report that the Israelis were working with the M.E.K., adding that the operations benefitted from American intelligence. He said that the targets were not "Einsteins"; "The goal is to affect Iranian psychology and morale," he said, and to "demoralize the whole system—nuclear delivery vehicles, nuclear enrichment facilities, power plants." Attacks have also been carried out on pipelines. He added that the operations are "primarily being done by M.E.K. through liaison with the Israelis, but the United States is now providing the intelligence." An adviser to the special-operations community told me that the links between the United States and M.E.K. activities inside Iran had been long-standing. "Everything being done inside Iran now is being done with surrogates," he said. [my emphasis]
More interesting, he describes JSOC training MEK in the Nevada desert.
Despite the growing ties, and a much-intensified lobbying effort organized by its advocates, M.E.K. has remained on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations—which meant that secrecy was essential in the Nevada training. "We did train them here, and washed them through the Energy Department because the D.O.E. owns all this land in southern Nevada," a former senior American intelligence official told me. "We were deploying them over long distances in the desert and mountains, and building their capacity in communications—coördinating commo is a big deal."
Hersh goes on to describe that we not only taught MEK how to stay in communication in the field, but how to intercept Iranian communications as well (remember the importance of intercepts in our understanding of Iranian nukes?). Moreover, the stuff the JSOC trainers were teaching MEK was so "sexy" that people started to get worried.
We've been training terrorists in our own deserts and sending them out against Iran–all while fear-mongering about Iran engaging in terrorism.
In other words, even the war on terror hasn't taught us how such schemes can backfire.
Six more Pakistanis have been killed by Iranian border agents. The incident has been noted widely in the press in Pakistan, but I find no reports on the incident originating in Iran. This latest incident follows three fishermen killed by Iran around December 7 (although at least one report says there were four killed by Iran in the incident) and three Iranian border guards crossing into Pakistan on January 2 to kill a Pakistani national they were chasing. The guards were detained by Pakistan and released on January 15 after Iran paid blood money to the family of the victim.
The fishing incidents of course were in the coastal waters around the southernmost part of the Iran-Pakistan border and the latest incident was also near the southern end of the border. The January 2 incident was a bit farther north, about halfway to the southern edge of Afghanistan.
In the December 7 incident, the fishermen, who were from Sindh province, appear to have been fishing illegally:
At least three Pakistani fishermen were gunned down, while two others were injured, by Iranian security forces when they wandered into Iranian territorial waters in the Pasaband area, about 40 kilometres off the Jewani coast in Pakistan.
District Police Officer Gwadar Liaquat Baloch confirmed the incident and said the bodies are yet to be handed over to Pakistani officials.
"The trawler, Al-Mariam, entered into Iran's territorial waters when Iranian security forces opened fire on them, killing three crew members on the spot, while injuring another two," he added.
Station Officer of Jewani Imam Baksh said that there were 20 to 25 people onboard Al-Mariam, which was engaged in illegal fishing.
A later report in the Baloch press says the fishermen were Baloch and that four were killed:
Iranian Naval forces indiscriminate firing on fishermen's boat in Jiwani area of district Gwadar in Balochistan Continue reading
"Absolute nonsense!" Israel has responded to Mark Perry's "False Flag" claim that Mossad agents recruited Jundallah members by posing as CIA officers. They've responded clearly, they claim, because they don't want US-Israeli intelligence cooperation to get as bad as it did when we caught Jonathan Pollard spying for Israel.
But I'm just as interested in the "proof" Israel offers that this didn't happen: that Meir Dagan is still welcome in Washington.
The senior Israeli government official said that if there were any truth the claims in Perry's report, Meir Dagan, the head of the Mossad at the time of the alleged operation, would have been declared a persona non grata in the U.S. and that "Dagan's foot would not have walked again in Washington".
Now, it is true that Dagan ran Mossad at the time–2007-2008–when the recruitment in question is alleged to have taken place. And it is true that under Dagan Mossad got rather embarrassingly caught using
US (and other Western allies' passports to facilitate their assassination squads in the Dubai assassination of Quds Force surrogate Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
But it is also notable that Dagan has made a series of increasingly strident remarks against war with Iran and for the kind of engagement that the latest scientist assassination seems designed to undercut. And then there's the presumably intentional irony in the statement: Dagan's ability to travel is limited not by his welcome among Western allies, but because Bibi Netanyahu revoked Dagan's diplomatic passport last summer in response to his efforts to prevent war against Iran. Since traveling without diplomatic immunity would expose him to arrest for acts that include the al-Mabhouh assassination, Dagan, the former head of Israel's assassination agency, cannot travel freely to prevent such assassinations in the future.
In other words, this is a very witty but nevertheless quite serious reminder that the same people now trying to find a peaceful path forward are themselves thoroughly implicated in the same crimes they now disown. This is Bibi's camp reminding that everyone has been breaking the rules in ways that could cause significant legal trouble.
Right on cue, Iran has sent diplomatic notes to both the US and Britain, claiming that the CIA is behind the most recent assassination.
The message addressed to the U.S. government, read, "According to authentic documents and reliable information, the assassination plot was directed, supported, and planned by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and was carried out with the direct involvement of the agents affiliated with this organization, and the government is directly responsible for it and should be answerable based on international regulations and rights and bilateral commitments."
[snip]In the protest note, Iran also said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the inhumane assassination, calls on the U.S. government to provide an immediate explanation, seriously warns about its repercussions, and calls on the (U.S.) government to stop supporting any kind of anti-humanitarian terrorist action against the lives of Iranian citizens, which is in contravention of international rights and the relevant commitments and pose a serious danger to international peace and security. In addition, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to pursue the issue."
In the note addressed to the British government, the Foreign Ministry pointed to the remarks that MI6 chief Sir John Sawers made on October 28, 2010, in which he said, "Stopping nuclear proliferation cannot be addressed purely by conventional diplomacy. We need intelligence-led operations to make it more difficult for countries like Iran to develop nuclear weapons."
The note read, "The Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran takes into consideration the fact that the assassinations of Iranian scientists began right after the announcement of the very attitude of the British government by Mr. John Sawers, the head of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, and once again expresses its protest about the repercussions of the mentioned attitude of the British government and holds the country responsible for such terrorists acts."
Gosh, Iran could have drafted these letters using the letters the US issued after it busted the Scary Iran Plot allegedly involving Manssor Arbabsiar as a model! (Which reminds me. Has anyone checked in on the Saudi involvement to defeat Iran, of late? And what they–and the Pakistanis–think about Israelis purportedly running terrorists out of Pakistan?)
Remember, too, according to Perry's "False Flag," the recruitment of the Jundallah members–by whomever–largely took place in London, "under the nose of U.S. intelligence officers." So if Perry's piece was meant as preemptive inoculation against evidence his sources knew might be revealed, it would not be surprising if such evidence implicated both the US and Britain.
Now, if it weren't for the latent lethality behind all this posturing (and if weren't so clear that, whatever Iran has, Israel surely has evidence of our complicity here, if they ever feel the need to reveal it), this might be a somewhat amusing and overdue spat between Israel and the US.
But as it is, it seems the winner of this conflict between Israeli and US neocon Hawks (some of who presumably remain in government positions) on one side, and those trying to avoid war (if not regime change) on the other threatens may depend most on who wins the infowar that has broken out. Clearly, all sides have the goods on the others, but no one can risk having all this damning information come out.
Update: Corrected post to reflect that Mossad did not use US passports in the Dubai hit.
Iran and the US continued to exchange threats over the long holiday weekend. On Saturday night, Barack Obama signed the NDAA, which put into place the ability to enact strong sanctions on banking institutions involved in the sale of Iranian oil. Substantial flexibility is built into the legislation to allow the US to exempt various players in the oil market, so it is still quite uncertain how the sanctions will be implemented. As the video here shows, Iran also test-fired two types of missiles over the weekend prior to the ending of the ten days of naval war games. However, the threats have not ceased, as Iran has now issued a vague warning to the US not to bring the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, which exited the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, back into the Gulf.
With all of these events taking place, it would be easy to overlook a strange incident on the Iran-Pakistan border on Sunday. Both Iran and Pakistan now say that Pakistan has detained three Iranian border guards who crossed into Pakistan. The guards shot two men who were in a car they were chasing, and one of the men died. The shooting victims are Pakistani nationals.
One of the most detailed accounts appears in the Washington Post via AP:
Pakistani authorities have yet to decide what to do with three Iranian border guards who they say crossed into southwestern Pakistan while chasing after smugglers and killed one them, a government official said Monday.
The incident occurred Sunday in the Mazah Sar area of Baluchistan province, a desolate, unpopulated region where the border is not clearly marked.
Aalam Farez, a senior government official in Washuk district, where Mazah Sar is located, said the Iranians admitted to inadvertently crossing into Pakistan. But, he said, they claimed the two people they shot — one of whom died — were bystanders and that the people they were chasing escaped.
After the shooting, Pakistani border personnel chased the Iranians back across the border and detained them, Pakistani officials have said. They also seized the surviving gunshot victim and determined both of those who had been shot were petty smugglers.
The Express Tribune (via AFP) adds significant background on the region where this event took place:
The Iranians reached Mazan Sar Mashkail, in Washuk district, three kilometres (1.8miles) inside Pakistan where they opened fire on a vehicle they were chasing, according to officials in Balochistan.
"All three personnel of Iranian border security force were taken into custody for their penetration inside Pakistan and killing a Pakistani national on our soil", Saeed Ahmad Jamali, Deputy Commissioner of Washuk district told AFP.
Mazan Sar Mashkail is around 600 kilometres southwest of Quetta, the main town of insurgency hit Baluchistan province, which borders Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province.
Iranian embassy officials in Islamabad were unavailable for comment late Sunday but Iran in the past has blamed a Sunni extremist group, called Jundallah, for launching attacks inside Pakistan [sic] from Sistan-Balochistan.
Jundallah says it is fighting Tehran's Shiite rule to secure rights for Sunni Balochis who form a significant population in Sistan-Balochistan, which borders both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Continue reading

NFL Network's draft guru Mike Mayock finally released his first mock draft. When it comes to the Cowboys selection at pick 9, Mayock has Dallas passing over Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara in favor of USC offensive tackle Tyron Smith.
"I think the Cowboys would like to trade down here, but this kid is talented. Dallas can plug him in at right tackle, and he upgrades the youth and athleticism of the offensive line," explains Mayock.
When it comes to the other picks in the NFC East Mayock has Amukamara to the Redskins, running back Mark Ingram to the Giants, and the Eagles taking Gabe Carimi to improve the offensive line.
How accurate will Mayock be on draft day? We will have to wait and see. Until then, you can see his FULL first round mock draft by CLICKING HERE.

10 Ways to Warm Up Your Bedroom in Winter
Having a warm bedroom in winter is crucial to our personal happiness. We love waking up in the morning, seeing snow outside, and feeling comfortable and cozy under our covers. For 10 ways to bring some more warmth into your bedroom, click below...
- Layer Your Bedding: Pile on an extra blanket or duvet for cozy warmth.
- Use a Hot Water Bottle: A classic way to keep your feet warm.
- Add Rugs: Warm up your floor with a soft rug underfoot.
- Deep Clean: Fresh bedding and clean surfaces make a room more inviting.
- Hang a Robe Near Your Bed: Keep warmth nearby for cold winter mornings.
- Wear Slippers: They keep your feet warm and your floors clean.
- Clean Your Windows: Streak-free natural light lifts your mood in the morning.
- Insulate Your Windows: Drafty windows chill your room and waste energy.
- Add Scent: Herbal scents like lavender and chamomile can improve your sleep.
- Light Candles: Flickering light adds warmth and romance to the bedroom. Just remember to snuff candles out before you go to bed, or use rechargeable LED candles for safety.

A great way to warm up a bedroom is to invite your pet kitty or doggy to join you in bed.
... or your partner.
Have you seen those LED lit candles? They are fantastic - usually scented and take 2 AA batteries. Perfect for the bedroom because you don't have to worry about blowing them out but you still get the ambiance...and a little scent!
flannel sheets I am loving them and as always my best dog in the world.
Ooo, what is that rug made of? Looks like maybe felt or leather?
I do a combination of all tips mentioned above plus one SO and two kitties added for extra cozyness.
Fannel sheets are great as flannel pjs are. There are some wearable designs out there, that keep you warm in winter. Some of my friends do also wear bed socks.
anybody know anything about that lamp? i currently have a lamp fetish...
this bedroom looks so cozy.
liveinpeace and blueyes:
. . . or both!
I think I have four blankets on my bed.
I used to live in a colder area, and only had a twin bed. There I had four doubled over quilts, and two blankets, for a total of ten layers.
It was cozy. And immobile.
My dogs and boyfriend, plus flannel sheets. Also a portable space heater.
Running your ceiling fan in reverse in your apartment/bedroom can keep you more comfortable in winter weather. Since hot air rises, your ceiling fan can push that warmer air back down onto you. (If it's in reverse, you'll see the blades going counterclockwise when you look up at it.)

Recipe: Homemade Jerky in the Oven
Recipes from The Kitchn
First grade starts in less than two weeks and the talk coming from my little girl is more about lunches than what to wear on the first day. With my daughter, it's never a sure thing if she'll eat her whole lunch, but if there's a piece of sweet and salty jerky nearby, she's sure to mow it. So with school on the horizon and a beckoning London Broil at the neighborhood butcher, all signs this week pointed to making a big batch of jerky.
The technique I use doesn't require a dehydrator and is borrowed from the Lobel's Meat Bible. The most difficult thing about making homemade jerky is slicing the meat evenly; freezing it ahead of time helps tremendously (and if you want to try this recipe with turkey, you'll want an even firmer freeze). Also, using a very sharp, long knife is key.
Both turkey and beef work well with the sesame, soy, and ginger flavors I use in my marinade below (with optional heat from chili paste), so this is a good place to start. Once you get the technique down, play around with the seasonings. I love a spicy jerky, so this time I made two batches: one with chili and lots of cracked black pepper, and one without. You know what flavors you like so don't be afraid to get bold here, and don't forget you can divide batches; one flank steak makes a lot of jerky. More than enough for mother and child, and all of their friends.
Homemade JerkyAdapted from Lobel's Meat Bible
3 pounds flank steak (London Broil) or boneless, skinless turkey breast
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili-garlic paste, optional (See Recipe Note)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered ginger
Unwrap the meat, pat it dry with paper towels, and set it on a plate or baking sheet. If using a flank steak that is folded up in its packaging, uncurl it. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and freeze it for 1 to 2 hours until firm but not frozen solid.
Using a very sharp chef's knife, trim off and discard any excess fat or tendons. With your knife parallel to the cutting board, carefully slice the thick slab of meat into two thinner pieces, as if you were butterflying a chicken breast (see second photo from the top, above). Then cut each piece of meat into thin strips 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Most pieces will be 4 to 6 inches long, though some tidbits may be smaller. You can cut your strips either against the grain for the classic chewy jerky look and feel, or with the grain, which will produce a more sinewy texture.
Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, chili-garlic paste, sesame seeds, ground pepper, and ginger in a large zippered plastic bag or glass baking dish. Add the sliced meat and coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, turning a few times to distribute the marinade.
When you are ready to dry the jerky, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about an hour.
Meanwhile, remove the racks from the oven, line the bottom of the oven completely with foil, and then turn on the oven to pre-heat to 175°F. Maintaining a steady 175°F is really important so so use an oven thermometer to confirm that the temperature reaches 175°F and remains there. You may have to prop open the door an inch or two with a wadded up dishtowel or hot pad in order to maintain the temperature.
Spray the oven racks with nonstick cooking spray. Alternatively, leave the oven racks in the oven, line as many baking sheets as will fit into your oven with foil, and place cooling racks inside each baking sheet.
Remove the meat from the marinade, draining off the liquid and blotting away any excess marinade with paper towels. Arrange the meat strips side-by-side across the racks, leaving at least 1/4-inch of space between strips.
Place the racks of meat in the oven and cook until completely dry. This can take as little as 2 hours and as long as 5 hours, depending on the thickness and moistness of the meat, and how chewy you want it to be. The jerky will firm up as it cools. Check the oven temperature regularly to ensure it does not get too low (some finicky oven pilot lights can go out at such a low temperature) and adjust as needed.
The jerky is ready when it is dry, darker in color, and breaks gently (not snap) when bent. Blot any residual moisture from the jerky with paper towels and cool completely on the racks before storing.
Store the jerky in an airtight container kept in a cool, dry place. Well-dried beef stored in this way will last 2 to 3 months.
Recipe Notes
• For the chili-garlic paste, I prefer Thai Kitchen Roasted Red Chili Paste.

Gee girls, I thought jerky was one of those gender foods that only guys eat.
Like if you made eggplant jerky- only women would eat that.
Rock on!
Could I use a mandoline to get the right thickness?
If you don't mind your entire house smelling of meat for hours (and i mean hours if not days!), homemade beef jerky is truly amazing! Another method of drying is to hang the beef off of the oven racks with toothpicks avoiding the "drying to the rack solid" problem!
Wow, so timely! I have been hunting feverishly for jerky recipes. Would this work with probably any meat? Should I use turkey/chicken thighs or will breast work as well?
How cn I share this on Facebook?
Never mind. Figured it out.
This sounds like a great project for Labor Day weekend!
The lowest temp I can set on my oven is 180. I can't imagine babysitting my oven for 2-5 hours to keep it at 175. How important is that 5 degrees?? I think I'd like to make this recipe for my own girl's packed lunches.
Try it and let us know!
You want the most lean meat possible, so breast is best.
You probably need more control than the mandoline could provide on a piece of meat that isn't completely solid, but try it out and let us know.
Is there a vegetarian version?
My American friend living here in Spain was telling how she misses jerky and I thought I could try to make some. I come to The Kitchn and here it is the recipe I needed! I do hope my place won't smell of meat for days though, I'm not a fan of meat.
Those sesame seeds look like insect larvae.
I'd love to have a vegetarian version of jerky as well!
Can we get a carnivore version of hummus as well? Thanks!
Tee hee
Haha - I was thinking something like that too, but didn't want to be snarky.
Here is a vegetarian jerky recipe that seemed to get good reviews.
Hey, I just accidentally froze the meat solid, and ended up using the mandoline. It worked great! Until the meat started to thaw out, then I found the knife easier.
I use Alton Brown's recip but this recipe sounds good too...but wouldn't using sesame oil make it go rancid quickly if not eaten right away?

Scientology loses copyright round
By John Borland
Staff Writer, CNET News
Staff Writer, CNET News

Short Take: Scientologists win Net court caseSeptember 15, 1998
Scientologists in trademark disputesJanuary 29, 1998
Netcom and Scientology settleAugust 4, 1996
A Colorado nonprofit group has won a critical round in a legal fight against the Church of Scientology, raising questions about whether Scientology has a legal right to keep hundreds of documents offline and out of the public eye.
The church, through its nonprofit subsidiary Bridge Publications, is suing Boulder-based FACTNet on charges that the group pirated more than 1,900 copyrighted church documents and distributing them on CD-ROMs.
But FACTNet and its cofounder, former Scientology member Lawrence Wollersheim, contend that Bridge does not have legal copyrights to all--and possibly to any--of the documents in question.
In a ruling last Wednesday, federal judge John Kane denied Scientology's request for summary judgment, saying that FACTNet successfully had cast doubt on the legal status of the documents. Kane's decision sends the case to a full trial, which will be supervised by a court "special master" appointed to untangle the thorny copyright issues involved.
"It's a huge victory," said attorney Daniel Leipold, one of several lawyers representing Wollersheim and FACTNet. "It means they will have to prove up each of these copyrights. We definitely feel confident they can't do that."
The lawsuit is one of a string of legal actions that the Church of Scientology has brought against former members and critics to keep internal documents off the Web and out of newsgroup discussions.
FACTNet is a nonprofit research and educational organization founded and staffed primarily by former Scientology members. In 1980, Wollersheim himself sued the church for damages resulting from his own experience as a member and was awarded $30 million. That sum later was reduced to $2.5 million, which Wollersheim still is fighting to collect.
The current copyright marks the fourth time a Scientology-affiliated organization has sued Wollersheim or FACTNet since his original lawsuit was filed. The court dismissed three earlier claims.
The claims date back to 1995, when the church won a court order to seize and search FACTNet computers for copyrighted materials based on comments Wollersheim had made online. After reviewing much of the material, Bridge Publications filed claims charging that FACTNet had illegally copied 1,914 church documents.
None of the disputed materials--many of which Wollersheim and his attorneys say were gathered during the course of earlier legal proceedings--has appeared on the FACTNet Web site. But the group did distribute copies of the documents by CD-ROM to several outside individuals, some of whom helped defray costs associated with producing the discs.
FACTNet says it merely was backing up its files, taking precautions against actions like the 1995 raid. Scientology says the CD-ROMs in question were sold, adding commercial gain to what the church claims already was a violation of its legal rights.
Bridge attorneys called it "the largest copyright case filed in the history of the world."
"There has never been a copyright case involving 1,900 instances of a single author's work," said Samuel Rosen, a New York attorney serving as lead counsel for Scientology's Bridge Publications.
Rosen said the judge's refusal to grant summary judgment in the case, which would have left outstanding only the question of what damages FACTNet needed to pay, marks only a minor setback.
"We are not at all unhappy with the ruling," Rosen said. FACTNet's claims that the church does not have legal copyrights are based on the testimony of two other ex-church members who were involved in Scientology's publishing arms and who have their own agendas, he added.
"We are very confident that when the defendants put [those witnesses] on the stand, we'll know whether they know what they're talking about or whether they're telling the truth," Rosen said. "It's going to be easy."
For their part, Wollersheim and his attorneys say that they can prove many of the documents involved actually are in the public domain and that Scientology may have committed copyright registration fraud by claiming copyrights for them in the first place.
But even if FACTNet does manage to have some of the 1,914 individual claims thrown out by the special master, it still will have to prove it didn't break the law by copying any of the other remaining documents to its own computers and to CD-ROMs.
Leipold said Wollersheim had the right to a legal "fair use" of the documents because he was involved in ongoing litigation with the church. "He could not survive in litigation without them," Leipold said.
He added that Scientology has used its copyright claims as means to silence online critics, another argument he thinks may sway the court in his clients' favor. "They're religious bullies," he said. "We contend that they are using the copyrights to bludgeon their critics."
But courts have looked favorably on Scientology's copyright claims in the past. Last May, for example, a judge ordered another court critic to pay $75,000 for posting internal church documents online.
"The injunction is the same whether we prove one, ten, or 1,900 infringements," Rosen said. "The number only matters when it comes to determining statutory damages."
A first hearing before special master Charles Matheson, chief judge of Colorado's federal bankruptcy court, is scheduled for Monday.

- About the Copyrights
- Seems to me that L. Ron Hubbard Copyrights were all done through the H.A.S.I. Don't ask me where I got this idea. Then the H.A.S.I was dismantled by the current COS management. If that was true that the HASI held the copyrights, when it was dismantled, don't the copyrights fall into public domain?
I have always wondered how they could claim control of the copyrights. I have heard how they browbeat Mary Sue Hubbard into signing over whatever interest she had, but I'm not sure that interest really had the copyrights. Missing a lot of information. But if this leads to the right place for someone to look maybe though vague it will be helpful.
I have always felt that LRH would want freedom of access of his writings. Hard to have a religion if people aren't allowed to access the doctrine.:)

Recall: How sports-rich San Antonio could capitalize on fields of battle in 2012
Published: December 28, 2011
During the Sweet Sixteen this past March, hordes of blue-shirted University of Kansas fans strutted along the River Walk like Midwestern Huns, having conquered the city for the second time in three years. In 2008 KU won the NCAA Championship here, and so San Antonio was becoming a common pilgrimage site. Then there was women's volleyball in December, and more college fans came along and made the city their own. Point being, this is a sports town, just maybe not one that belongs entirely to the townies. San Antonio's abundance of facilities has led to some interesting semi-near-misses this year. There aren't many towns that can even consider converting a high school football stadium into a professional soccer venue, as Spurs owner SS&E and San Antonio Independent School District are considering at Alamo Stadium. A $515 million bond and two potential teams make the deal pretty sweet — if only they can figure out what to do with that running track! And while consideration is about as far as it's gone — still, that's an embarrassment of riches.
We've got the tourism infrastructure, we've got the super-massive arena. Maybe it's just that San Antonio hasn't found its sporting niche yet. Even Austin managed to get Formula One racing. Monaco, Abu Dhabi, Austin. Since the NFL, Major League Baseball, and Major League Soccer aren't quite lured by the charms of this tier-one city, perhaps there's need for new kinds of American sport. Maybe our destiny is to bring some of that good old fall-of-Rome depravity back to professional sports. Certainly we're breeding the right kind of player, if the recent Sam Hurd debacle is any indication. The Brackenridge High School grad was a promising wide receiver for the Chicago Bears when he decided to branch out into serious drug-running. If hockey is going to get tame, we'll need something new to ritualize violence.
We could fill the Alamodome with water and stage elaborate naval battles. Lions and Christians. If the NFL and baseball doesn't want San Antonio, neither shall San Antonio covet them. Now is the time for the National Viper-Fencing League, for Major League Trampling, for the National Collegiate Arson Association. When fans come to the city to visit, they should fear the games they've come to love.

text: 133. This technique is used for production reasons to produce sterile fish which have three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two. The process generates an embryo with two sets of maternally derived chromosomes and one set from the male parent. This is achieved by subjecting the egg to hot, cold or pressure shock just after fertilisation. Heat or pressure shock is used for trout. In combination with the female-only technique the triploid technique produces sterile female fish and is commercially advantageous. The technique can also be used for salmon.

So Long … But Not Goodbye.
PercentMobile End of Service Announcement.
It is not without some sadness that we announce today that PercentMobile is being shutdown.
We started PercentMobile to rapidly build out and test new ideas in visualizing data, and provide a better understanding of mobile audiences.
For the last several years PercentMobile was provided for free to site owners who appreciated a mobile analytics service designed for people, not specialists. In return, we had the privilege of watching over hundreds of millions of mobile page views across more than twelve thousand sites in our network. Insights derived from this experience led to the discovery of several untapped opportunities. Our interest quickly shifted from tracking activity on mobile Web pages to tracking the where and when of engagement in the physical world — the moment before someone actually reaches content on their mobile device. The Smartphone is becoming the "mouse" of the real world and we are determined to bring understanding to the data and signals being generated by this offline-to-online behavior.
In preparing to move 100% into this next project, we've decided to shut the PercentMobile service down to help focus our efforts.
For us what is most important going forward is that the best of PercentMobile and all we have learned will live on in another service - Delivr.com
Delivr works with brands and businesses to activate audiences through social, mobile and offline media. In just minutes and a few clicks, you can create, manage and track offline-to-online campaigns.
Of course we are not closing down PercentMobile at once, the service will undergo an orderly shut down between July 1st and July 31st.
The following is a schedule of activities:
July 1st, 2012 - July 14th, 2012All account users, please remove the PercentMobile tracking code from your site. WordPress Plugin Users remove the PercentMobile Site Tracking ID from the appropriate mobile analytics set-up screen.July 15th, 2012We will stop tracking your data.July 16th, 2012 - July 30th, 2012Sign into your account at anytime to export your report data. These exports are only available for you.July 31st, 2012The PercentMobile service will be shut down and all user traffic data will be destroyed by the end of August.
Most importantly, we want to express our gratitude to you, our community, for your support of PercentMobile, and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Delivr.
@fredwilson Thank you for the PercentMobile shout-out during your keynote at the ReadWriteWeb 2WAY Summit.
The PercentMobile mention is exactly 15 minutes into video.
We are excited to be joining a great group of NY-based start-ups who call General Assembly home.

Hyper Books E-Book Reader - Mobile Web-based, offline and local reading just like a native App.
Hyper Books Mobile Web-based E-Book Reader Launches Today
Hyper Books is a free mobile web based e‑book reader. The currently available books are a selection of copyright free classics from digital libraries such as Project Gutenberg in Australia, Germany and the USA.
Please visit hyper-books.com on your Android, iPhone, iPad or iPod browser or scan the QR code below.
We're big believers of the mobile Web. So much so that PercentMobile's focus on exclusively tracking mobile Web browser-based traffic is our bet on the importance of understanding your mobile Web-based audience.
Others are seeing it this way as well.
Fred Wilson, in a recent blog post, "Mobile Reading Trends At AVC" - wrote this after sharing the results of the AVC blog's mobile traffic with his readers,
"But the big message is the early adopters are reading more and more on their mobile devices and at the current growth rates, half of the visits to AVC could be on mobile devices by the end of 2012. That is a megatrend. And it is investable."
When someone commented about supporting all manner of mobile Apps, Fred Wilson responded,
"I prefer to read in a broswer. It has all the features I've come to know and love."
Later in response to another reader he wrote,
"I'm a fan of the web on mobile. Apps are great for some things but i like to read in a browser and so that's my frame of mind regarding AVC."
Will the rise in mobile Web readers spill over from blogs to books?
Hyper Books believes it will and is leading the way.
Please give them a read - I am. - David Harper

Amazon EC2 troubles bring down Reddit, Foursquare, Quora, Hootsuite and more
The popularity of Amazon's cheap, easily scalable hosting is showing its downside right now, with a number of popular websites and services throwing up errors or being down completely.
Foursquare, Quora, Reddit and Hootsuite are among those affected by technical troubles on Amazon's servers. The company's status dashboard currently shows problems with the company's Elastic Compute Cloud and Relational Database Service operations, based in North Virginia, with connectivity issues confirmed.
"We can confirm connectivity errors impacting EC2 instances and increased latencies impacting EBS volumes in multiple availability zones in the US-EAST-1 region. Increased error rates are affecting EBS CreateVolume API calls. We continue to work towards resolution"

UPDATE: Internet in Libya is Data Blackhole. …but what about the Mobile Web?
Unfortunately, the day of our original post the mobile Web in Libya went dark as well.
Internet in Libya is Data Blackhole. …but what about the Mobile Web?
According to The Google Transparency Report (via The Next Web)
As unrest in Libya continues to grow, the country once again has no access to the internet, according to online traffic reports.
Google Transparency Report shows a clear drop off on March 3 at 9:30 pm (GMT), when Libya's traffic– in and out of the country– fell to zero. It has not shown any usage since.
We took a look at Internet traffic flowing though mobile devices in Libya across PercentMobile's network of sites. Our findings are that Internet communications via the mobile Web has not subsided. Data is not being sent into a virtual black hole.
While it is possible that select mobile device accounts have been terminated during the conflict — at least 2 mobile carriers are operating at pre-March 3 levels:
- Almadar Aljadid, the Premier Mobile Phone GSM Operator in Libya
- Libya Telecom & Technology (LTT).
Muhammad al-Gaddafi, the eldest son of Libyan president Muammar al-Gaddafi is the Chairman of Libya Telecom & Technology.
What are people in Libya doing on the mobile Web during a civil war?
Searching Google, checking Facebook, and looking for apps at Ovi App Wizard. Same as it ever was.

It's the dorkiest thing Jay-Z has ever been associated with.
The release of Kanye West's Yeezus sucked all the air out of the musical universe this week. Yet pop music went on.
With Kanye, it's always more is more. More politics, more ego, more outrage. More croissants.
A decade ago, who'd have guessed that three dorked-out comedians could command a guest list worthy of a Jay-Z record?
He's incapable of writing a lyric that means anything, in the Queen's English or Gandalf's Elvish or any other tongue.
Willy Moon, the singer-songwriter who plays the Gramercy Theatre tonight, made me suspicious from the first.
Learn his likes, dislikes, and history, and listen to his Spotify playlist, which includes one great song from each of the last 100 years.
The Miley Cyrus single is one of the most crudely effective songs of the year — although to call it a song seems generous.
Even without much TLC, there is no shortage of TLCism in current music.
