Police say a man is in custody Wednesday night, after allegedly stabbing a woman in a domestic violence incident and sending her to a local hospital.
APD spokesperson Anita Shell says police first received reports of the stabbing from a residence on the 13000 block of Back Road, just after 6:35 p.m.
In an initial statement released Wednesday night, APD says the incident appeared to escalate from a lesser confrontation.
"It was reported to police that a verbal altercation took place between a male and female at the residence and the male then proceeded to stab the female," officials wrote.
Officers at the scene say part of the altercation occurred outside the home, with an armed witness who saw the incident firing a shot into the air. Police were interviewing the witness Wednesday night.
After hearing the shot, the suspect got off the woman, who was hospitalized by medics with severe and possibly life-threatening injuries.
Shell says no charges have yet been filed against the man, whose name wasn't immediately released Wednesday evening.

Marriott To Congress: Join Our Campaign To "See The World"
WASHINGTON, May 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders from the travel industry, including Marriott International, Inc., told Members of Congress this week that tourism holds the key to the nation's economic recovery and urged them to support policy measures designed to facilitate international travel. At a hearing before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade, Kathleen Matthews, chief communications and public affairs officer, called on legislators to protect funding for Brand USA and pass the Jobs Originated through Launching Travel ("JOLT") Act as part of comprehensive immigration reform. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130508/PH10141 )(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090217/MARRIOTTINTLLOGO ) Arne Sorenson, president and chief executive officer, has stressed that "Travel is trade. Efforts to make America the top travel destination in the world offer tremendous opportunities to expand our nation's economy, drive exports and create jobs. As the immigration debate unfolds, we must remember to balance conversations about rigorous border security with our desire to remain a magnet for world travelers." In particular, industry executives expressed concern with a provision in draft comprehensive immigration legislation that would divert funds from Brand USA, the public-private partnership established in 2010 to promote the United States as a travel destination, to border security efforts. "We are working on an alternative provision that ensures both initiatives are adequately funded," said Matthews. At a hearing entitled " Vacation Nation: How Tourism Benefits our Economy," Matthews testified that tourism is not just about enjoyable vacations, but drives business performance and economic growth. She reiterated Marriott's longstanding support for the bipartisan JOLT Act ( H.R. 1354), a bill to encourage international visitation by enhancing the Visa Waiver Program and setting standards to ensure rapid processing of tourist and business visitor visa applications at U.S. consular offices overseas. These provisions to create "Smart Visa" policies have been included in the Senate's larger immigration bill. "Every time Marriott opens a new hotel, the positive ripple effect on the local economy and community is tremendous," said Matthews. "JOLT is a surefire way to ensure maximum demand for our services and enable the U.S. to capture the greatest possible share of the growing global pool of international travelers. Marriott is proud to be doing its part to put Americans back to work, and we hope Congress will see the value in advancing this and other legislative proposals designed to boost travel and tourism to and within the United States." View Matthews's full written statement to the Subcommittee here . About Marriott International, Inc. Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) is a leading lodging company based in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, with more than 3,800 properties in 74 countries and territories.

From the article:
Two brothers who were celebrating a $75,000 winning lottery ticket by purchasing marijuana and meth accidentally blew up their house on Friday, said Sgt. Bruce Watts of the Wichita Police Department.
The explosion sent one of the brothers – a 27-year-old – to the hospital, where he remains in serious but stable condition with second-degree burns on his hands, arms and chest.
The other brother was sent to jail, Watts said.

Senate Democratic Leader Ed Murray says he'll ask Lt. Gov. Brad Owen to help sort out an orderly transition of power in the state Senate.
Senate Democratic Leader Ed Murray says he is going to ask Lt. Gov. Brad Owen for help in sorting out an orderly transition of power in the chamber — as his caucus prepares to hand over reins to a new alliance of 23 Republicans and two Democrats on Jan. 14.
Murray also said late Thursday in a phone interview that he is willing to give up claims to leadership offices in the state Capitol, leaving his caucus' space to Sen. Rodney Tom, the dissident Medina Democrat who along with maverick Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlach, in Mason County, is forming the new majority caucus with the Republican minority.
Murray's announcements were the latest turns in a strange, evolving situation in the Senate where Democrats have 26 seats, Republicans led by Sen. Mark Schoesler, of Ritzville in Adams County, have 23, and the new coalition led by Tom and Schoesler is trying to seize power.
Murray's offer to bring in Owen as peacemaker might provide an end to the unfolding soap opera over who is in charge at the Senate — and how the transfer of power will take place before lawmakers show up mid-January for a 105-day session.

Tom had said it was the Democrats who were failing to meet and talk over a transition plan, while Murray said it was Tom's new team that was balking.
But Tom later welcomed news of Murray's decision to seek out Owen, a Democrat known for his even-handedness during Senate floor sessions, as a broker.
"I think that's what we've been asking for. I'm happy to see there is some movement there, and we can get some things worked out. So on the 14th we can get on with the people's business," Tom said.

Local delegations split on cliff vote
JACKSON (AP) — All three Republicans in Mississippi's House delegation voted against legislation to avoid the fiscal cliff, while the state's only Democrat representative voted for it.
In Louisiana, Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican Sen. David Vitter supported the legislation, but most of the state's U.S. House delegation opposed it.
Mississippi Republican U.S. Reps. Gregg Harper, Alan Nunnelee and Steven Palazzo cast no votes, while Democrat Bennie Thompson voted for the legislation that passed 257-167 Tuesday.
Nunnelee said in a statement after the vote that out-of-control spending is the reason the country is $16 trillion in debt and the deal adds to the problem.
"Allowing more revenue today and promising to look at cutting spending down the road is the oldest trick in the Washington book. Somehow, the day to cut spending never comes. I cannot support a deal that adds to our spending-driven debt crisis," he said.
The measure passed the Senate 89-8 earlier Tuesday, with Mississippi Republican Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker voting yes.
Cochran and Wicker called the plan imperfect, but said it would help prevent a tax increase for most Americans.
"There is still work left to do," Wicker said in a statement. "Congress and the president must reduce the federal deficit."
Louisiana Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond and Republican Rep. Rodney Alexander voted for the bill sent to President Obama, amid concerns that without a deal, the tax increases and spending cuts could send the nation's economy back into recession.
Louisiana's five other GOP House members — Reps. Charles Boustany, Bill Cassidy, John Fleming, Jeff Landry and Steve Scalise — voted against it.
Critics disagreed with allowing some tax increases and said the legislation didn't cut spending to help shrink the federal deficit.

We Got Mail from Cleopatra
By Ulei Bellwald
Archeaology Editor, Albawaba.com.
A papyrus scroll bearing the hand-written signature of Queen Cleopatra has been found in the 'cardboard' outer case of an Egyptian mummy stored in a German museum.
Museum storerooms sometimes turn out to be unsuspected treasure houses where outstanding archaeological discoveries can be made. Such an event happened a few weeks ago in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin and was presented to the public at the end of October by its discoverer, Professor Peter van Minnen from the Catholic University in Loewen in Belgium. Wrapped into the cardboard cover of an Egyptian Mummy, he found a Papyrus scroll with the hand-written signature of the legendary queen Cleopatra from Alexandria, the capital of the Ptolemaic, Hellenistic Empire of Egypt.
Cleopatra lived from 69 - 30 BC and was famous for both her beauty and intelligence (she is said to have spoken seven languages). To save the empire she inherited from her father from Roman conquest, she bewitched several Roman leaders including Julius Cesar and finally married Marcus Antonius, the most important enemy of Octavianus (who later became Emperor Augustus).
The document, which has been in a storeroom of the Egyptian Museum of Berlin for more than 100 years along with 30,000 scrolls which are waiting to be deciphered, brilliantly highlights Cleopatra's policy of hatching plots among the Roman rulers in order to save her throne. The papyrus scroll was written by the royal chancellery as an attempt to bribe Candidus, then the supply commissioner of the Roman army. Cleopatra offered him to export 10,000 bags of wheat and to import 5,000 amphorae of wine duty-free. With such a valuable offer, she tried to tie Candidus to her policy and to win his support in the conflict between Marcus Antonius (who was later to be her husband) and Octavianus. After the document had been written in the Royal chancellery, Cleopatra signed it with her own hand on the outside of the scroll with the official royal formula "that's how it's done" in Greek.
With this document Cleopatra proves herself to be a very talented and gifted political apprentice of her father Ptolemaios XII, who bribed the Romans, especially Julius Cesar, for years with enormous amounts of silver to be reinstalled as the Egyptian ruler. The incredibly large personal debts which were the consequence of his policy nearly ruined his Empire and had a disastrous impact on the economy of the neighbouring nations such as Nabataens who suffered from a tremendous devaluation of their currency.
As chronicled by the Romans in the history of the civil war between their rulers, Octavianus overcame Marcus Antonius in the sea battle of Actium on September 2nd, 31 BC. Cleopatra, on hearing the news, could see no way out of this personal and political disaster and committed suicide in the year 30 BC. The bite of the asp which killed her is undoubtedly the most famous snakebite of history.

Ferriero recalled by Rangers; Arnott coming?
Updated: January 26, 2013, 6:25 PM ETAssociated Press
NEW YORK -- The Rangers recalled forward Benn Ferriero from Connecticut of the AHL and might soon have forward Jason Arnott to provide veteran depth at center.
Ferriero had an assist in his debut for Connecticut on Friday and was set to join the Rangers for the first time Saturday against Toronto. He was acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday for forward Chad Kolarik.
Rumors that the 38-year-old Arnott would soon be signed by New York swirled around Madison Square Garden ...

Reviews for Borderlands 2: Headhunter 4 - Wedding Day Massacre (MAC)
Runs odd on mac fine on pcBrownninja97 | May 6, 2015 | See all Brownninja97's reviews »
Not sure what it was about this dlc but it was running very bad on mac, the rest of the game runs fine maxed out apart from physx. This is sort of an afterstory of the clans wars between Hodunk and Zaford which was hilarious and it still is, they keep going too far, its nice but i cant recommend it on MAC due to the performance issues.
Another short but nice addonmahon | June 11, 2014 | See all mahon's reviews »
The fourth Headhunter pack - Wedding Day Massacre - adds another short story to Borderlands 2. Just like other Headhunter packs, here you can expect a new mission and a new boss to fight. This time the story revolves about assuring that goliaths from two feuding families you should already know get married without any unexpected problems. A love potion can do the job, so the players need to collect ingrediends to make one. And if they do well, there are new heads for the players to customize their characters. Don't expect a big storyline addon, but if you are familiar with other Headhunter packs, you won't be disappointed. After all the price is pretty low, and what you get for it makes it a really good value DLC.

Gift Guide
All of our favorite gifts.
Punt e Mes is both bitter and sweet, like a rich bottled vermouth cocktail that'll please lovers of Italian amari. It's delicious stuff; wonderful chilled on its own and fantastic with Cynar, lemon, salt, and orange bitters in this cocktail. If your favorite drinker hasn't tried it, make the introduction. — Maggie
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, the La Canne company makes flavored sugars that are sure to give added depth to everything from baked goods to your morning coffee. Flavors include ginger, lavender, and pecan smoked sugar, which is smoked over real pecan shells. — Keith
A pressure cooker is a cooking vessel that just keeps on giving: Once you discover the time-saving feats it's capable of, you'll never look back. The good ones aren't cheap, but man, is it ever worth having one. A countertop electric model gives you set-it-and-forget-it convenience. With the Breville Fast-Slow Pro Cooker, not only do you have complete control over your pressure cooking (including any pressure level from 1.5 to 12 psi), but you also have a slow cooker and a rice cooker built right it. It'll even sear meat for stews. — Kenji
I don't often recommend single-function items, but for the cocktail enthusiast, a couple of julep cups really are fun to have. There's nothing like holding that metal cup frosted with ice on a blisteringly hot summer day—glass just doesn't pull the effect off in the same way. If the recipient doesn't have an ice crusher, check out my Lewis bag suggestion as well. — Daniel
If you're following my advice to buy someone julep cups, you might as well go all the way and grab a canvas Lewis bag as well: It's used to smash ice into a fine powder with a mallet. Unless, of course, the person you're buying for already has an ice crusher. — Daniel
In the inexpensive-thermometer department, the ThermoPop is the new kid on the block, but he comes in an impressive package. An easy-to-read display rotates at the touch of a button, so you don't have to twist your head to read it. It takes a few seconds longer to read temperatures than its big brother, the Thermapen, but it's every bit as accurate. — Kenji
One of the best cookbook gateways into Middle Eastern cuisine—an obsessive and personalized exploration of the many cultures and traditions that make up Jerusalem's culinary world. What will you find here? A recipe for the best hummus of your life, for starters; messy-beautiful dips and salads; and the delicately spiced soups, grains, and vegetables Ottolenghi has become famous for. — Serious Eats Staff
When I had these Texas beef sausages delivered to Serious Eats World Headquarters, people were skeptical. The moment they took their first bite of these supremely juicy links, though, the office became totally silent. Louie Mueller's beef and jalapeño sausages reduced the entire office to stunned, rapturous silence. And these suckers are so affordable, even with the shipping, that they're perfect for serving at parties. You just might want to hand out bibs to protect everyone's shirts. Phone orders only: (512) 352-6206. — Ed
High-quality Swedish steel and Japanese design, along with great features like a perfectly balanced handle and blade and an ergonomic bolster, make the Misono UX10 Santoku the most-used knife in my arsenal. — Kenji
On more than one occasion, I've been tempted to try out the cool new pepper mill on the block, but none of the ones I've used have held up over time. That's why I've settled on a good old classic, a wooden Peugeot pepper mill. The steel burrs last and deliver whatever grind I want, from fine-as-silt to chunky and coarse. — Daniel
I never realized how incomplete my kitchen was until I added a stand mixer to my appliance lineup. It's obviously great for mixing batters and doughs, but I especially love the range of KitchenAid attachments available for purchase—once you have the base, there's suddenly a whole world of homemade sausages, ice cream, pastas, and fresh juices at your fingertips. — Niki
Serious Eats' own J. Kenji López-Alt brings his popular column to life in this six-episode series. With help from food blogger and cook Katie Quinn, Kenji demonstrates techniques, busts myths, and 'splains the science behind perfect burgers, tender roast chicken, exquisite chocolate chip cookies, and much more. Rent or download individual episodes or the whole show! — Serious Eats Staff
A good cookbook stand makes cooking at home much more pleasant. And this collapsible beechwood stand from West Elm has its own built-in conversion chart to boot. — Keith
Published on what would have been the late British author's 100th birthday, Elizabeth David's On Vegetables will teach you how a bag of grocery store onions can be transformed into an unforgettable roasted side dish, and how some fresh shelled peas can yield the most vibrant soup you've ever tasted. Filled with recipes that are simple, straightforward, yet often revelatory, this book also features a few of David's best essays, as well as gorgeous photography. — Keith
There are some kitchen tools that make the difference between amateur-looking food and pro-level stuff. A small mandoline is one of them. This one, from Oxo, is compact, easy to use, and very sharp. It only has three thickness settings, but in my experience, that more than covers most home slicing needs. — Daniel
This is hands down the KitchenAid attachment I use most often. It takes all of the frustration and fussiness out of making fresh pasta, and, unlike the manual alternatives out there, it's incredibly easy and efficient to operate on your own. Hello, homemade ravioli! — Niki
If you like your whiskey with a giant ice cube, then you'll really be into Mammoth Cubes—unlike ice cube trays from current competitor brands, these make eight cubes (not six) and are actually stackable, so they don't require a section unto themselves in your freezer. — Serious Eats Staff
Woks are the best tool for stir-frying if you want to get that distinctly smoky wok hei flavor, but they're also versatile vessels that you can use for braising, deep-frying, or even indoor smoking. — Kenji
Plenty More highlights the versatility of vegetables with 120 inventive plant-based recipes. It takes a degree of commitment to cook through this book—many, though not all, of Ottolenghi's recipes require extra time spent sourcing unusual ingredients or toiling in the kitchen—but the reward is food that is enigmatic and downright dazzling. The ideal gift for anyone who thinks vegetables are boring, and for those who know they're not. — Serious Eats Staff
Warning: Reading this book might lead to the purchase of some very expensive plane tickets. The Roads & Kingdoms crew will get you hungry for a journey to Japan: for onigiri basted with chicken fat, juicy one-bite gyoza, milky-white tonkotsu ramen broth, and briny sea urchin. Is Japan the best place on earth to eat? This book will convince you that it is. — Maggie
Old cast iron has a perfectly smooth nonstick surface that's surprisingly easy to maintain. You can sear, bake, roast, braise, stew, and deep-fry in it, and there's nothing more thoughtful than a gift that you have to expend a bit of effort to find (check out eBay, yard sales, and flea markets). Of course, these modern Lodge pans will do in a pinch if vintage isn't in the cards. — Kenji
Sure, you can serve crushed-ice cocktails in a regular old glass, but these shiny pineapple-shaped tumblers really up the ante and make a tiki party feel special. — Maggie
A good bench scraper is one of those tools people don't think they need until they start using it. I use it for everything from transferring chopped vegetables or herbs from one place to another, to portioning dough, to giving my cutting board a quick clean. Next to my chef's knife, the bench scraper is the tool you'll see in my hand most often. — Kenji
There's form, and then there's function. The aprons from Tilit are great on both fronts. Made from waxed cotton, they offer breathability along with water resistance, but they're also damned handsome. Several NYC restaurants have commissioned custom apron designs from the company for their chefs and cooks, and I'm pretty psyched to wear one of these bad boys at home, too. — Daniel
My good friend Jordana Rothman co-wrote this thoughtful ode to tacos with chef Alex Stupak, and it's a must-have for anyone ready to take a deep dive into corn, masa, tortillas, and everything—modern and traditional—you can stuff into them. — Daniel
When my little sister first moved out and started cooking on her own, this straight-sided sauté pan from All-Clad was the first gift I sent to her. It has a wide, flat base for searing off big batches of meat, and high sides so you can braise, stew, or simmer several meals' worth of food directly in it. It's the ideal dish for stove-to-oven dishes like this Braised Chicken With White Beans, or a one-pot pasta dish like our Macaroni and Beef. Versatile and robust, it makes comfort food all the more comforting. — Kenji
My good friend and former Food & Wine coworker, Kristin Donnelly, runs this awesome lip balm company called Stewart & Claire with her husband, Phil. Every lip balm she makes uses great ingredients that you wouldn't hesitate to smear all over your mouth, but even cooler are the scents she comes up with, many of them inspired by foods and cocktails. Recently she teamed up with the talented folks at Death & Co, a great NYC cocktail bar, to develop three limited-edition scents. I've been walking around with "Smoky" in my back pocket for the past couple of months: It's inspired by the smoky scent of Scotch and mezcal cocktails, using smoked olive oil, along with citrus and spice notes, to achieve that effect. It's like a mezcal Negroni or Rob Roy for your lips, but subtle enough to sit under your nose all day. — Daniel
It may sound nuts to mail-order cornmeal and grits, given that they're found on any supermarket shelf. But I'd argue that you haven't experienced the best cornbread, grits, or other classic Southern dishes until you've had them made with the kind of high-quality stuff Anson Mills is selling. It'll change how you understand those foods and what they can be. — Daniel
I can't tell you how many times I burn bread crumbs or forget about the nuts I'm toasting in the oven. At least, I used to. That was all before I got myself a couple of these easy-to-use, loud kitchen timers that I can hang around my neck, so I never forget about something in the kitchen, even if I leave the room. — Kenji
The Cadillac of kitchen thermometers is indispensable when roasting meat, cooking steaks, making candy, deep-frying, or at any other time precise temperature control is needed. With a big display and a blazing-fast measuring time of under two seconds, you won't find a better, easier-to-use thermometer out there. — Kenji
With their smooth surface and cool temperature, marble pastry slabs are a baker's best friend. They're great for rolling out pie crusts, laminating doughs, and tempering chocolate—plus, this one's pretty enough (albeit heavy) to use as a serving platter. — Niki
This isn't just a chili cookbook. Robb Walsh digs deep into the beloved dish's ancestry, tracing threads through Mexico City, San Antonio, and Santa Fe—as you might expect—but also Hungary, Greece, and the Canary Islands (off the coast of North Africa). Walsh is one of food writing's best storytellers, so the book is satisfying even if you never whip out your Dutch oven and get cooking. You should, though: The fascinating tale is best enjoyed with a big bowl of chile con carne. (Walsh's recipe from El Real in Houston is killer.) — Maggie
Sorghum syrup is made from the pressed juice of sorghum grass, which grows prominently throughout the American South. This amber-colored syrup has a unique nutty flavor that's both sweet and savory. And since the 1960s, the Guenther family of Muddy Pond, Tennessee, has been making some of the best. — Keith
Spending $50 on cheese knives feels a little silly, especially when a regular knife does the trick just fine. But that's why they're the perfect gift—arguably unnecessary, but nonetheless useful, they feel like a real luxury. I'm pretty sure they also raise your "real adult" status by at least 10 points. Especially when they're these beautifully crafted Dubost Laguiole knives. I like the simplicity of the olivewood handles, but they do come in other colors and styles, with the same high-quality blades. — Niki
A good digital scale is an essential tool for bakers or home charcuterie makers. The OXO Food Scale comes with an easy-to-clean removable stainless steel weighing surface, great accuracy and precision, and a pull-out backlit display to make measuring easy, even for large or unwieldy items. — Kenji
I'll admit it: I'm a pepper mill snob. I need my mill to produce a shower of evenly crushed peppercorns. I want to be able to control the size of those grains, from a rough crush to a fine powder. Not only that, I want my pepper mill to last. With a solid metal burr and a unique easy-to-load design, this is my favorite pepper mill of all time. — Kenji
When fall and winter roll around, I start thinking about rich, comforting casseroles, which means that these stoneware casserole dishes get pulled out, filled, and popped into the oven at least once a week. They're great-looking on the table and provide gentle, even cooking all around for really nice, crisp edges on your lasagna. — Kenji
Manhattan chef Jody Williams's Buvette: The Pleasure of Good Food, is as charming and inviting as the restaurant that inspired it. This is a book to get greasy and damp as you cook through its pages, and it's a nightstand read, dreamy and warm, to flip through as you wind down. Channeling a traditional French bistro, with a bit of Italy and a touch of New York thrown in, the recipes are classics, both inspirational and totally doable. Some are so simple that they hardly count as recipes at all—they're more like suggestions for how to better your day with a plate of food, from breakfast through dessert after a lingering, late-night supper. Perfect for your impossibly, effortlessly stylish friend. — Serious Eats Staff
Kentucky-based writer Ronni Lundy is an expert on the foods and foodways of the Mountain South. In her latest book, Sorghum's Savor, she explores the history and folklore, and the many uses, of the region's staple sweetener. Recipes range from fried chicken to sorbet. — Keith
A bean is a bean is a bean. Or is it? Once you go down the rabbit hole of eating quality dried beans (after they're cooked, of course—raw dried beans aren't so great), you'll fall in love with their variety of flavors, textures, and colors. Some are starchy, some are nutty, some are earthy, and some are slightly sweet. Rancho Gordo is one company that sells some really cool ones to try. You won't look at dried beans the same way again. — Daniel
There's not a lot of this fantastic spirit around—only 642 bottles in total are for sale. But that's just part of what makes it such a special gift. Crafted from wild Tepeztate and Tobala agaves, it tastes a bit like a complex Islay Scotch, without the vanilla flavors of barrel-aging. It's salty and herbal, nutty and resin-y, savory and floral, with a wisp of sweet charred bay leaf on the finish. — Maggie
Breville's newest entry in the food processor department is powerful, large, and packed with features that make it best-in-class, like a blade drive that runs like the base of a blender (no more leaking sauces) and a slicing blade with adjustable width, giving you more power and versatility in the kitchen. — Kenji
Homemade ice cream tastes better than almost anything you can buy in a store, and it's a snap to make. This ice cream maker, from Cuisinart, is all the gear you need: an easy-to-use workhorse that makes delicious ice cream every time. The simple construction means that there are few moving parts to break, and the wide mouth at the top makes it easy to add mix-ins and scoop out your ice cream when it's at its fresh, creamy best. — Serious Eats Staff
Few things get me as excited as a good raw bar, but most of the time, I eat far less than I want because, after the first couple dozen oysters or so, it just gets to be too expensive. That's even truer when the oysters are top-notch, like the briny little suckers from Island Creek up in Massachusetts. But here's the good news: You can order Island Creek's oysters online by the 50- or 100-count for much less than they cost at most restaurants and have them in your hands the next day for an at-home shucking extravaganza. (Obviously, it helps to learn to shuck first.) — Daniel
The best ham on earth doesn't come cheap, but this is the caviar of pork: jamón ibérico puro de bellota, from purebred Iberico pigs raised on acorns for a ham that's nutty and sweet with meltingly soft fat. — Serious Eats Staff
I never knew how much I'd appreciate having a soda-maker at home until I got one. I'm a fizz fiend, and that used to mean sugary sodas. Now it means sparkling water at the touch of a button. For an extra $50 you can upgrade to the Power Source, which allows you to choose your carbonation level at the touch of a button. — Kenji
Brisket is Texas's best-known contribution to barbecue culture, and though you can now get slow-smoked brisket in just about every major American city, you still need to go to the source to get brisket so good it will make you cry. But if you can't make it to Texas, ordering Louie Mueller's brisket is the next best thing. The Muellers have been smoking brisket since 1949. The key here? They ship the whole brisket, which means you get plenty of the critically important fatty half. Why is it critically important? Because we all know that fat IS flavor. Phone orders only: (512) 352-6206. — Ed
I have a problem with wooden spoons. I collect them like nobody's business. But there are a few I always turn back to, and this one, from Le Creuset, is one of them. It's gorgeous to look at; it has a flat front, which makes it great for scraping up fond or stirring vegetables; and it's got a smooth, ergonomic grip that makes using it a joy. — Kenji
This is the electric kettle of my coffee-delayed dreams. It has an elegant gooseneck spout that makes pouring a thin, controlled stream easy (very helpful for Chemex and other pourover coffee methods), and a base with controls that allow you to set a specific temperature and hold it there. — Daniel
It's hard to find a better curated food catalogue than Zingerman's. They are righteous folks, they know seriously delicious food when they come across it, and they sell it at a fair price. Nothing in the catalogue is cheap, but then again, good food rarely is. So whether you order cheese or olive oil or bread from Zingerman's, you can be confident you're going to be very happy when it arrives at your house. — Ed
Sous-vide cooking—cooking foods in vacuum-sealed pouches in precisely controlled water baths—is no longer relegated to fancy restaurant kitchens. The Anova Precision Cooker is the best home water bath controller on the market, with an easy-to-use interface, Bluetooth support, rock-solid construction, a sleek look, and an affordable price tag to boot. — Kenji
The slope-sided skillet, like this one from All-Clad, is a chef's best friend and one of the most versatile pans in the kitchen, whether you're sautéing vegetables, searing meat, or cooking one of our dozens of one-pan meals. The best have solid stainless steel construction, with an aluminum core for even heat distribution. — Kenji
Time was, you had to build an actual wood-fired stone oven to get Neapolitan-style pizza in your backyard. With the Serious Eats edition KettlePizza and Baking Steel combo, you can convert your Weber kettle grill into an honest-to-goodness wood-fired pizza oven that'll bake Neapolitan-style pizzas in minutes. — Kenji
If her first two books are any indication, Nancy Singleton Hachisu is poised to become the Julia Child of traditional Japanese home cooking. In this, her second book, she tackles the deeply fascinating—and even more delicious—world of Japanese preserving. From easy pickles made by packing foods in miso (kabocha squash! eggs! apple pears!) to homemade miso, salt-rubbed vegetables, and air-dried fish, this should be the next frontier in all your home preservation undertakings. I'm getting excited just thinking about it. — Daniel
I must admit that I'm predisposed to like any confection that's simply called a "finger." A finger implies a certain size and scope that speaks to me. When the box of Nuubia SF's chocolate fingers I'd ordered arrived at our office, I made a beeline for the countertop that serves as Food Central at Serious Eats World Headquarters. It's a good thing, because they were gone in a minute—and with good reason. Creamy hazelnut praline mousse, surrounded by smooth and not-too-sweet dark chocolate, is my idea of a perfect finger food. — Ed
No pasta machine? No problem. This book is devoted to the art of handcrafted Italian dumplings, from yeasty spindle-shaped cecamariti to classic gnocchi to golden-brown parallelograms of deep-fried crescentine. If the adage "practice makes perfect" fills you with excitement rather than dread, this is the kind of book that will make you utterly determined to prevail. — Niki
Coffee geeks will have a lot of fun with this coffee scale. It pairs with a smartphone through Bluetooth, and an accompanying app helps walk you through the brewing processes, like pourover and French press, calculating bean-to-water ratios and brew times. It can handle customization, so with each successive batch, you can really dial in on the variables to make a cup that tastes best to you. It can also be used as a basic kitchen scale with a two-kilogram (about four and a half pounds) maximum weight, so it's versatile beyond its primary purpose. — Daniel
Do you know someone who's getting into tea? Like, really into tea? This is the tea set to get for that person. It comes with a traditional Chinese brewing vessel (a gaiwan), a decanter, four tasting cups, and a beautiful wood tea tray with a rack to store all the pieces. At $120, it's not cheap, but it's a bargain compared to other well-made tea sets, especially when you consider the high-quality, paper-thin porcelain. For tea lovers looking to dig into tea ceremonies, this set has everything you need. — Serious Eats Staff
This hand-blown and -etched mixing glass from Japan looks stunning on a bar cart and even better in action, whether you're stirring a Negroni, a Martini, or a Manhattan. Mixing glasses made from two parts joined together sometimes split at the seam, but this version, made in one piece with a beaker-like spout, can stand up to heavy use. — Maggie
Know someone who's interested in sous-vide cooking? They're gonna want this. And it's handy for way more than just sous-vide cooking. A vacuum sealer makes it really easy to save meats or other foods in the freezer, and it keeps air (read: freezer burn) off it all. The Oliso sealer uses a unique resealable bag system which means far less wasted plastic than a conventional cut-and-seal vacuum sealer. — Kenji
They may not come in the most festive or glamorous packaging, but you can't go wrong with Effie's Oatcakes. Buttery, crumbly, nutty, and salty-sweet, they're insanely addictive. Case in point: I've eaten three in the last 10 minutes. My advice? Purchase them in bulk so you can stuff a stocking or two and hoard the rest for yourself. — Niki
A good pair of kitchen shears is one of those things that are hard to appreciate until you have them. Sure, there are all the obvious uses, like opening food packages with a snip and cutting up poultry, but that's just the start. Take another look at those things. Yes, that's right, they're also a nutcracker. Aha, yup, and a bottle opener. Did you see the flathead screwdriver built into them? Handy, right? Oh, they can also be used to unscrew stubborn jar tops. They're way more than just a pair of scissors. Plus, the two blades come fully apart, so you can wash them really well—no icky chicken juice hiding in the recesses. Isn't avoiding salmonella poisoning a gift worth giving? — Daniel
There are few activities that so easily produce the sensation of soul-sucking helplessness and all-around inadequacy as going head to head with a stubborn jar. A quality opener is a major game-changer, guaranteed to pop those lids every time—no dejected pleas, prying, smacking, or self-loathing required. This particular model, from Restoration Hardware, actually looks nice and has held up to extensive use in my own kitchen. — Niki
How do you make perfect caramels, ice cream, gravies, and reductions? A nifty pot called a saucier. The durable stainless steel is cladded with aluminum for even heating, essential for temperamental ingredients like caramel and egg custards. A curved bottom makes whisking a snap (no more lumpy gravy!), and the wide top encourages evaporation for fast sauce reductions. You can buy cheaper versions than this All-Clad saucier, but this is one piece of equipment where quality really makes a difference. — Serious Eats Staff
My all-time favorite food-focused Tumblr, none other than LiarTownUSA's Apple Cabin Foods, now has an official 2016 calendar, which means you can have a whole year populated by the nonsensical murmurings of orange hopefuls, chicken whispers, and shrimp pull-ups. Confused? That's the point. I think. — Niki
I don't know if there's a book about cooking that I've thought about more than this one by Tamar Adler, a former Chez Panisse cook who was once an editor at Harper's Magazine. It's about cooking simply, and enjoying the simple meals that naturally follow from one another if you begin to think of your ingredients in cycles. We forget, sometimes, that the leftover stems from blanched broccoli are wonderful cooked with olive oil and piled on toast, that their cooking liquid could be the base of a soup, that the stems of greens like Swiss chard and kale make a lovely pesto. She reminds us that stale bread can make something delicious and that yesterday's bean broth could be the start of a pasta dish today. I read this book over and over again to help myself remember that dinner doesn't always need to be a big deal. — Maggie
I eat a lot more vegetables than meat these days, so my paring knife sees more and more use in the kitchen. This one from Wüsthof is a classic, with solid blade and handle construction, a full tang for strength and durability, and a razor-sharp edge to make trimming, peeling, and dicing vegetables a snap. — Kenji
A good carbon steel has many of the qualities that make cast iron great—it's durable, it forms a completely nonstick surface if cared for properly, and it's inexpensive—but it's lighter and easier to maneuver, making it great for sautéing and searing everyday foods. — Kenji
Native to Cincinnati, Ohio, goetta (pronounced "get-a") is a sublime beef and pork sausage made with steel-cut oats (as opposed to the cornmeal used in its close cousin, scrapple). Glier's is one of the biggest and best producers of the German-style pork product. Just slice it, fry it, and serve it with eggs and toast. — Keith
Another essential kitchen tool, the Microplane grater does fine grating work way better than those tiny, raspy holes on a box grater. Whether you're quickly grating fresh nutmeg or cinnamon, taking the zest off a lemon, or turning a clove of garlic into a fine purée, the Microplane is the tool to reach for. It'll make a great stocking stuffer for the budding cooking enthusiast. Just be sure to keep the safety guard on it—the idea is "stocking stuffer," not finger-shredder. — Daniel
I tested dozens of stovetop pressure cookers before settling on Kuhn Rikon's Duromatic. It has a heavy sandwiched aluminum-and-steel base that gives you even heat, and a pressure gauge that makes telling exactly how much pressure has built up inside visual and intuitive. — Kenji
Winter is all about slow-cooked braised dishes, and Molly Stevens's text is the bible on the subject. Stevens first devotes dozens of pages to discussing the equipment and technique behind braising in incredible detail. Then she provides unfussy but impressive-sounding recipes to make the most of your newfound braising skills. A little hint: The vegetable recipes are some of the best. — Serious Eats Staff
If you're looking for one definitive primer on pasta-making in its myriad forms, this is it: Superlative step-by-step photographs take the guesswork out of potentially intimidating fundamentals like mixing and kneading dough, as well as more intricate tasks, like pleating teardrops of corn- and cheese-stuffed culurgiònes. Better yet, Vetri arms you with the tools and knowledge that allow for controlled, intelligent experimentation and exploration before sending you into the fray. — Niki
A good steak knife should cut steak well, and it should look good while doing it. French-made Laguiole knives are the gold standard in performance, with extra-sharp edges for easy cutting, a long life, and gorgeous handles with distinctive bee-shaped bolsters. (Beware inexpensive knockoffs!) — Kenji
A New York Times best-seller! The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji López-Alt is his eponymous Serious Eats column on this very website, blown up to 900+ pages (and 7+ pounds) of concentrated culinary science. Gorgeous color photos, detailed how-tos, and elaborate explainers cover ingredients, technique, gear, and the secrets of the universe underneath it all. May include puns. — Serious Eats Staff
These wine glasses feel fancy enough for an elegant dinner party—and you can throw them in the dishwasher after, which is a pretty rare attribute. I've had a few sets for five years now, and have found them remarkably sturdy. — Maggie
I've cracked my way through quite a few baking stones. With the Baking Steel—a solid sheet of steel designed to replace a baking stone—that's a thing of the past. Not only will it last forever, but, with superior thermal properties, it produces the best pizza crusts I've ever seen in a home oven. — Kenji
Not all containers are built the same. OXO's Pop Containers stack neatly in the cabinet, make it easy to see exactly what's inside, and have a neat push-button top that forms a perfectly airtight seal, keeping your dry pantry goods fresher for longer. — Kenji
I've used many, many oyster knives in my life, and the R. Murphy Duxbury knife is my hands-down favorite. It has a fat, grippy handle that's easy to wield, and a short blade that tapers to a point and always manages to find the sweet spot on an oyster's hinge. Pop! The slightly sharpened blade edges make slicing through the muscle and removing the top shell as smooth as butter. — Daniel
Having The Cocktail Chronicles at your side is like having a friend who always knows a good drink recipe for whatever you've got on hand. It doesn't talk your ear off or suggest something with a dozen ingredients. Instead, it shares classics, recent spins on classics, and drinks you've never heard of but can easily mix up and enjoy, and the introductions are never preachy or boring. This book will appeal to full-on cocktail fanatics and newbies alike; there's something delicious on every page. — Maggie
What's a quarter sheet pan? Well, it's half the size of a half sheet pan. What's a half sheet? It's the rimmed baking sheet we all use at home for cookies and such. (If you're wondering what a whole sheet pan is, you'll find them in restaurant kitchens.) So why would anyone want a quarter sheet pan? Oh, man, because they're AMAZING. I love them for all kinds of recipe tasks, like holding small amounts of ingredients I'm prepping or roasting. I reach for them just as often as I do the half-sheet size, because sometimes you need the SUV, and sometimes you need the compact. Simple as that. — Daniel
I have a sizable cocktail book collection, but at drink o'clock, I find myself turning to this app. Enter all the bottles you have at home when you start, and the app will tell you all of the drinks you can make, with recipes straight from New York's famous PDT cocktail lounge. You can also search for drinks of a certain type or cocktails created by a favorite bartender, and save favorites for making again. (To give an app as a gift, look for the arrow to the right of the "buy" icon.) — Maggie
Whether I'm making a puréed soup directly in the pot, a batch of 2-Minute Mayonnaise (or 2-Minute Hollandaise), or whipping up a single serving of whipped cream, the hand blender is the easiest way to get there. The great power on this one, from Cuisinart, gives you the best bang for your buck. — Kenji
Forget those puny kitchen torches designed to make crème brûlée for ants. If you want some serious torching power in the kitchen, for putting the final touch on fancy desserts or for finishing off a sous-vide steak, you want a high-output torch like this one. You'll get a deeper char than you'll ever be able to get from using a skillet alone. — Kenji
Oh, man, do I love my Vitamix. Whether I'm making super-quick smoothies or the creamiest, smoothest purées and soups imaginable, the Vitamix is unparalleled in its power. Best gift I've ever received (thanks, dear!). — Kenji
I've been making legit espresso at home for about a year now on this machine from Breville. I like that it has a built-in burr grinder that will stay set at whatever dosage you've decided is best for your shot, as well as adjustable pre-infusion time. Getting the hang of it—and dialing in—takes a while, but ultimately, the results are impressive. — Maggie
This epic set of stainless steel pastry tips is perfect for the home baker with professional-grade aspirations...or the food-enthused, arts-and-craftsy kid in your life (or, you know, your heart). With this kit in hand, nothing but practice stands between you and gorgeous piped flowers, leaves, stars, and beyond. — Niki
Lightweight and virtually unbreakable, melamine can be super convenient for outdoor entertaining or big parties. Unfortunately, it's not always super attractive. That's why I'm so in love with these plates, which look like hand-painted ceramic, with the weight and heft of, well, plastic. Plus, I get complimented for them all the time. — Niki
How much praise can I throw at a Le Creuset Dutch oven? This is one of those things couples put on their wedding registries and desperately hope someone buys for them. This is a pot you hand down to your kids. This is a piece of cookware that you will use for everything, including serving at the table, and then you won't want to put it away because you just like looking at it. This is a workhorse of the kitchen. Yes, it costs a lot. But things that are built to last a lifetime despite daily use usually do. — Daniel

text: Every spring semester the College At Brockport will conduct a Joint Leadership Training Exercise (JLTX) with several other schools in the region. Last spring we went to Alleghany State Park with Canicius College, St. Bonaventure, Gannon University and Niagara University. Over the four days of training the Basic Course cadets executed an obstacle course, land navigation, leaders reaction course and a rappel tower. The advanced course Cadets conducted Squad Training Lanes to prepare them for the Cadet Leaders Course. This spring, we will be conducting the JLTX with the same schools at Fort Drum, NY (FDNY) where both basic and advanced course will be conducting different simulator training as well as leadership lanes to prepare for summer camp.

I desperately need help with settling my 4.5 month old 1st child. She has reflux and as a result was held a lot by myself and husband when she slept as she would become distressed when put down. Her reflux has improved dramatically but I'm struggling to get her to sleep in her cot. I have been to day stay sleep school and for the last week have worked hard but she has only settled in her cot once. I am working on eat-play-sleep but she becomes so distressed that she becomes overtired. I am ssshhhing and patting until she is unable to be settled and she then goes to her swing. I am concerned about the level of stress this is putting on her and further confusing her about sleep. I continueto cosleep with her at night so she is getting some sleep and feel terribly guilty. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I only have my husband for support.
4.5 month old wont sleep independently

Scallops are the perfect summer catch -- light, delicious, and easy to prepare.
Famous for their delicate flavor and buttery texture, scallops are the ultimate "starter seafood," says chef and conservationist Barton Seaver. He is director of the Healthy and Sustainable Food Program at Harvard School of Public Health. Scallops are also easy to prepare at home.
These nutritious delicacies are packed with protein: One 4-ounce serving provides about half the daily value women need. Scallops also offer a modest amount of heart-healthy omega-3 fats and have very little saturated fat. And they're low in mercury, a toxic metal common in some seafood.
Fresh scallops are a treat, but frozen scallops can be delicious as well. "As soon as they hit the dock, they hit the freezer, which means they're frozen at the peak of quality," Seaver says. To thaw scallops, he recommends placing them on a plate in the fridge, covered with a damp paper towel, on the morning of the day you plan to cook them for dinner. "I would absolutely avoid running them under cold water unless they're wrapped in a protective plastic film."
Scallop Cooking Tips
- Remove any remaining tough muscle and membrane before cooking scallops.
- The part of the scallop usually eaten is the adductor muscle, which helps keep the shell closed.
- Bay scallops are generally smaller and typically used in soups, stews, and salads. Sea scallops are bigger and are often served seared.
- Patting scallops dry with paper towels helps them to brown as they cook.
1. Scallop Gratin
Fast and elegant, this dish works well with a mixed-green salad and crusty whole grain rolls.
Makes 6 servings
2 lbs bay or sea scallops, patted dry
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup white wine
1 cup low-sodium vegetable stock
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon (or 1 tsp dried)
pinch sea salt
freshly ground pepper
½ cup plain panko bread crumbs
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp cooked, crumbled bacon
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray six individual gratin dishes or one large dish with cooking spray. Divide scallops evenly among the gratin dishes, or place all in the large dish.

text: This is sort of a spinoff of the God thread and I am very fine with those who don't agree with this post. Anyway I have been studying and researching near death experiences for many years in which people go into clinical death and have an out of body experience which sometimes includes going through a dark tunnel towards a light. There are various stages of the NDE and the highest stage which most near deathers don't quite make it to though some do is what is refered to as the core experience in which they experience indescribable feelings of being bathed in unconditional love and experience complete oneness with all of creation and God who in my opinion does not favor one person over another nor any religion. I wonder if teachers such as Jesus was really refering to the higher self within all rather than just himself when he spoke of being one with the father. The left out of the bible Gospel Of Thomas seems to address this. Anyway here is a here is a link to one near death expeience in which this patient clinically died from cancer and came back. Her body was healed from the cancer in days after her experience. She described the core experience. What do you think about this. Is there much more to who we really are than our consciouness minds can know? Does this really suggest there really is life after death? Here are 2 separate links. The first is her actual experience. The 2nd link is an interview by the host of the site which is even more interesting as he is asking her great questions about insights she learned about the purpose of life and why life is hard as well as how we perceive ourselves either negative or positive can effect what we will experience.

Explain or resign
The behavior attributed to Olmert by Talansky is intolerable, and cannot represent the Israeli public, which is frequently called upon by its leaders to make economic and social sacrifices.
The testimony that Moshe Talansky gave in court yesterday about the suspicions against Ehud Olmert has created a new situation. This testimony revealed to the public the system whereby Olmert was handed tens of thousands of dollars, directly or through his associates, in the form of grants and loans, during the years when he served as mayor and as minister of industry and trade.
Olmert's response on the evening after Independence Day ("I didn't take one cent for my own pocket") cannot be allowed to remain suspended in midair without a more detailed explanation. Even if an indictment is not submitted against him, he owes the public explanations now. Olmert must either explain or resign.
Olmert or his lawyers will presumably say that he is forbidden to talk publicly now, so as not to disrupt the ongoing investigation and undermine his legal arguments. But that argument is only suitable to a suspect who is sitting at home, cut off from the symbols of power and working hard on his defense. It cannot be used by the prime minister.
Independent of its criminal significance, a factual response is required to Talansky's testimony, which arouses an acute feeling of revulsion and repugnance. Olmert must either present a different version of the facts than was provided by Talansky in his testimony, or say that all of it is falsehoods and lies. Did he receive loans that he never returned? Did he receive cash at his offices in Jerusalem and at luxury hotels in the United States, by way of Shula Zaken and at her request? Did he demand that the money be given to him only as cash, and use Talansky's credit card? Were the sums recorded as required by law and reported to the tax authorities? Did he request, receive and not return a loan of $25,000 for a family vacation in Italy?
State Prosecutor Moshe Lador, as one would expect of a wise man, made sure yesterday to leave open the possibility that no indictment would be submitted. It is also possible that an indictment could end in an acquittal, the second in Olmert's history. But even in that case, determining the facts is important for the public discourse, and cannot wait until Talansky's cross-examination on July 17.
The behavior attributed to Olmert by Talansky is intolerable, and cannot represent the Israeli public, which is frequently called upon by its leaders to make economic and social sacrifices. Talansky's testimony reveals systematic and prolonged defilement and corruption. If his allegations do not prove false, then Olmert demanded favors - a night in a luxury hotel, or a flight - whose price is enough to support an Israeli family for an entire month. This was all done in a manner that was not only ostentatious, but also that of a beggar, seeking dollar after dollar from American Jews who responded to him and were impressed by his high status.
In 2000, Ezer Weizman was forced to retire from the presidency because Elyakim Rubinstein, then the attorney general, stated that taking money from his friends Rafi Ungar and Edouard Seroussi constituted a substantial ethical violation. And the Olmert case is more serious than the Weizman case.
It is inconceivable that Olmert should continue to enjoy the best of both worlds while the police investigation and the prosecution's preparations for a decision on the case enter a second or third month. If Olmert insists on continuing to retain his position at the government's helm, he is obliged to appear before the public, without delay, and present his version of the facts.

MARIAM RIZK Associated Press
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's ousted and jailed Islamist President Mohammed Morsi refused to answer a prosecutor's questions about allegations that he leaked classified documents — some related to the army's budget– to Qatar via the Doha-based Al-Jazeera broadcaster, Egypt's official news agency reported Thursday.
If the charges are referred to court, it would be the fourth case underway against Morsi, who was overthrown by the military last summer amid mass protests against his yearlong rule.
According to Egypt's Middle East News Agency, Morsi refused to answer any of the prosecutor's questions during a four-hour interrogation session held inside Borg al-Arab prison, near the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.
Morsi's response to each question was: "I am the legitimate leader," MENA said.
Morsi and other individuals are accused of passing state security files to Qatar, a close ally of his Muslim Brotherhood group, "in a way that harms national security," judicial officials said late Wednesday.
Egypt's General Prosecutor Hisham Barakat ordered Morsi and seven other detainees held for 15 days in reference to the case, the officials said, adding that other suspects remain at large. The officials spoke late Wednesday on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to reporters.
Morsi already faces charges of conspiring with foreign groups, inciting the murder of his opponents and orchestrating prison breaks during the 2011 uprising that toppled his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.
Authorities claim to have uncovered a network of top Egyptian officials affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Jazeera employees and high-ranking Qatari officials who leaked the information and tried to smuggle the original documents. Officials said the network intended to sell the original documents to Qatar for $1.5 million.
MENA said some of the documents included information about the army's secretive budget, a sensitive issue in Egypt. It added that Al-Jazeera network already aired some of the leaked documents.
The case first came to light in March, when Egypt's Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim accused a presidential secretary, Amin el-Serafi, of leaking documents from the safes of the presidential palace and sending copies through his daughter and other Brotherhood members to an Arab country that supports the group, a veiled reference to Qatar. Ibrahim said the suspects aimed to disclose military secrets in order to destabilize Egypt.
He said that after el-Serafi's arrest, a Palestinian national who later worked as an Al-Jazeera producer met with a senior editor for Al-Jazeera, who arranged a meeting with top officials in the Arab country. He said a flight attendant belonging to the Brotherhood attempted to transfer the original files outside Egypt.
According to MENA, authorities found the original documents in three large suitcases.
The Muslim Brotherhood won a series of electoral victories after the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak, culminating in Morsi's election the following year, when he became the country's first freely elected leader. His year in power proved divisive, however, and the military toppled him following massive protests demanding his resignation.
After Morsi was overthrown, authorities launched a sweeping crackdown on his supporters, leaving hundreds killed and tens of thousands in detention, including many senior Brotherhood members. The group's spiritual leader Mohammed Badie has been sentenced to death and to life in jail, in separate verdicts that could still be appealed. The government designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group late last year.
The ouster of the Islamist leader strained relations between Egypt and Qatar, as Cairo accuses the rich Gulf nation and its Al-Jazeera network of supporting Morsi and his group. The network has denied accusations of biased reporting.
In June, three Al-Jazeera journalists were sentenced to seven to ten years in prison for promoting or belonging to the Brotherhood and falsifying their coverage of pro-Morsi protests in order to harm Egypt's security.
The trial of the three — Australian Peter Greste, Canadian-Egyptian Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohammed — was condemned by rights groups as politically motivated.
