Mariam Barghouti (wearing grey) greats family members outside Israel's Ofer prison on Thursday 17 April 2014 | Dylan Collins
Mariam Barghouti, a 20-year-old student was released from military prison this evening, nearly one week after she was arrested by Israeli forces near the village of Nabi Saleh.
Barghouti was detained along with three foreign journalists and a young Palestinian citizen of Israel, Abir Kopty, as they left the village on Friday 11 April after reporting on a protest held earlier in the day. Barghouti, who holds American citizen and is a resident of the West Bank, was the only one to be arrested. She was charged with throwing stones and entering a closed military zone.
The charges were stridently denied by Barghouti, and appear to have rested on no evidence but a soldier's testimony. In a press release from the International Solidarity Movement, Kopty reported that one of the soldiers carrying out the detention told her "I'm going to mess up your life." It was "obvious", she said, that he was able to, and would, "fabricate everything for his own purposes" in this case.
A Military Court ruled Wednesday morning that she was to be released on bail, reportedly stating there were "doubts" as to whether "the evidence supports the prosecution's charges." Military prosecutors appealed the court's decision Thursday morning, increasing her initial bail of 8,000 NIS to 15,000 NIS.
During her detention, Israeli authorities prohibited all contact between her and her family. In between court hearings at Israel's Ofer prison just outside of Ramallah, Barghouti was held in Hasharoun prison in the northern West Bank.
"They don't even allow her to make a phone call," Mariam's older sister, Reham, told Palestine Monitor after an initial hearing on Sunday. "The only time I've seen her or heard from her was during the hearing, and she was crying for the whole thing. She was also really cold, as she was wearing the same clothes she was arrested in."
Barghouti was arrested in the midst of an intensification of crackdowns on the village of Nabi Saleh. The day after she was detained, the the Israeli military declared the village a closed military zone and subjected it to a three day siege, a closure which was eventually broken after a peaceful protests from residents and their supporters.
During the siege, which reportedly began "suddenly" on Saturday, residents were subjected to fire from sound grenades, rubber bullets, and a closure of the main road connecting the village to the nearby city of Ramallah.
"The restrictions made it difficult for villagers to continue their life normally," Bassam Tamimi, a leader of Nabi Saleh's popular resistance, told Palestine Monitor. "To leave the village for work, to go to hospital, takes a long time and is expensive." When villagers tried to leave via alternative routes, he said, they were frequently fired upon by soldiers.
A video uploaded to YouTube by Tamimi Press shows the demonstration that preceded the reopening of the checkpoint. It shows soldiers firing sound grenades at the protesters, who approached the barrier by foot, waving flags and chanting slogans. The troops attempt to force back the crowd, violently pushing men and women away and to the ground, manhandling protesters and dragging others away from the group.
"I'm not touching you, you are touching me," a woman is seen telling a soldier. "This is my land, this is my house, I'm staying here. Don't ever dream that I am going to leave."
Nabi Saleh is known as one a hotpoint of Palestinian popular resistance. The small village of about 500 people holds weekly protests against the confiscation of a spring and village lands by the nearby settlement of Halamish. In recent years, two of the village's residents have been killed and many more arrested by Israeli forces in the area.

This issue of Blood Writes features Jason's story of being in the wrong parking lot at the wrong time.
Homecoming, October 17-18, 2003 in Laramie, Wyoming. I was out drinking with several friends, old classmates from high school. It was a celebration in a sense that most of us had not seen each other in some time. The partying started early Friday afternoon and lasted well into the early ours of the morning. Copious amounts of booze were downed varying from hard liquor to beer, which was the drink of choice.
The night started out innocently enough with the typical college drinking games at houses before heading to the bars around 10. I was with roughly 20 people that night and we all went to our favorite bar of choice, Mulligans. I was feeling pretty tipsy around midnight and was finally sent over the edge after a double shot of Wild Turkey. I still to this day will throw up when I smell that shit.
After throwing up outside the bar, I walked back in, realized I did not want/need to be drinking anymore, and began my walk home. The walk home was roughly about 2.0-2.5 miles. I figured the walk would sober me up some. However, I did not get very far. Upon leaving the bar, I walked through the parking lot and ran into a guy who was digging in his truck, searching for something.
The man was big, 6'5" and 320 pounds. I am only on a good day 5'7", 150 pounds. The man seemed startled and immediately pulled a knife on me, placing it against my chest. I brushed it off, asking him what the hell he was trying to do. He put the knife back into his pocket, mumbled some inaudible words, and grabbed a cigarette. After a few minutes of trying to talk the guy off the ledge, I decided it was safe to start back on my trek. I turned my back for a split second to walk away from him only to end up tackled from behind with the man's right arm wrapped around my neck and the knife pressed against my neck.
The knife was pointed to enter at about a 45 degree angle to my neck, so it was not against my throat. We wrestled on the ground a bit before the knife started to enter my neck. As we were wrestling, he told me I was going to die. The first thrust in did not quite register at first, but the second sent adrenaline through my veins. I was able to use a few wrestling moves I learned from years and years of wrestling to get away from the man. Sprinting down the alley, I did not know anything was wrong.
When I hit the end of the alley, I fell trying to make the corner. Pushing myself to my feet after making mince meat of my hands, elbows, and knees, I finally saw what had happened. Shooting out over my shoulder like a water fountain was a steady spray of blood. Trying to stay composed and not doing a good job, I walked a few feet before beginning first aid on myself. When I say first aid, it was not like ripping my shirt off and wrapping it around my neck. I squeezed the wound with my hand as best I could. I squeezed hard enough to leave a bruise. Walking a little further, I was able to get into my pocket to grab my cell phone and call 911.
The dispatcher seemed terribly freaked out by the situation and was yelling at me to stay on the phone. Luckily, the ambulance barn was only 4-5 blocks away. I could see the lights, hear the sirens, and shock was kicking in. I had lost a lot of blood at this point and was struggling to keep awake. Before the ambulance arrived I passed out.
By the time I woke up, I was in the hospital getting ready to go into surgery. The police were able to ask me some questions before I went in and they had already arrested the man. I called my parents to let them know I was alright before getting sewed up.
The damage was not as extensive as one might think. The knife had missed the carotid, but nicked the jugular. Veins do not clot if nicked, only if severed. The knife had went in about an inch and the scar was two inches long. It did not hit my throat, but the scar used to be partially over the throat. I had lost 6 pints of blood of the 10 you have in your body. Never received a transfusion throughout this ordeal. I was able to leave the hospital the afternoon of the 18th and had to take the week off from school to recover, which just happened to be midterms.
I went down to show my parents where the incident had happened the next day. You could follow a blood trail down the sidewalk to where I sat on the curb to call 911. A person could still do this almost 3-4 months afterword. The man was sentenced to prison and is scheduled to get out soon.
I forgot to mention that the reason why the big man was pulled over behind the bar was that his girlfriend was driving the truck and he had tried to kill her while she was driving. She pulled the vehicle over and ran off. I happened to be the next person to run into him, an estimated 2-3 minutes later. Just a wrong place, wrong time situation.
Now we're cooking with gas, people. Keep your stories coming, subject line: Blood Week.

Rob Glaser Eased Out as RealNetworks CEO
Rob Glaser is stepping down as CEO of Real Networks, the company he founded in 1994. Sources say the move was instigated by his own board, but that he cooperated with the decision and was involved in the transition.
Glaser will be replaced by Robert Kimball, a well-liked executive who most recently served as general counsel and executive vice president of corporate development at RealNetworks (RNWK).
Glaser, who will remain chairman of the Seattle-based Internet company, owns 38.4 percent of Real's shares, making him by far the largest investor.
His move follows other significant news at Real: Last week, a federal judge dismissed its claims against Hollywood studios in the RealDVD case.
A few days earlier, COO John Giamatteo said that he would step down; the company announced that news yesterday afternoon.
But it is Glaser's departure that is most important, given that he has been an innovative, pioneering and high-profile Internet leader for so long. Nevertheless, he eventually had to answer for problems with performance.
In fact, Glaser and the board had been talking for some time about making these changes, although it came much more suddenly than Glaser preferred, according to several sources. He had wanted to do a search for a new CEO before he left and make the shift less abrupt.
But the board–with the message coming from director Jonathan Klein, co-founder and CEO of Getty Images–felt a quicker change was needed.
"It's a typical case of a founder and Internet visionary who can't convert it to the bottom line. There was a great deal of admiration and respect for Rob, which delayed the decision, but eventually you can't ignore the results," says a person familiar with the company. "This move was a long time postponed, because he always had another good idea. But you have a staff whose options are all underwater, and the conversion of gross into net profit was not happening."
It's unclear when Glaser's board informed him of the decision, but sources say that after processing the news, Glaser cooperated with and helped in the transition. He represented the company in a series of meetings at last week's Consumer Electronics Show without letting on that he was on his way out.
He did, however, post an untypically melancholy message on Twitter yesterday:
Some Real employees and investors have had grievances with the company's founder for years. A long string of former Real employees, for example, describe Glaser as a cantankerous boss, and Real's stock price has withered since 2006, when it nearly broke the $12 mark.
The stock is now trading below $4.
And while Real was a genuine pioneer in Web video software and an early player in Web music services–the company was originally called Progressive Networks after Glaser's political bent–it has been idling for many years.
For a while, for example, it was investing time and money in Web-based "casual games" and had filed to spin off that unit in 2008. But those plans were iced by the recession.
Meanwhile, RealNetworks split its Rhapsody music service into a joint venture with Viacom (VIA) unit MTV, but that service has also stalled, and the two partners have been trying to renegotiate the terms of their partnership.
Real's crowning achievement of the past few years: The whopping $761 million antitrust settlement it won in 2005 from Microsoft (MSFT), Glaser's former employer.
Here's Glaser's memo to his staff, followed by a note from Robert Kimball, and, finally, the company's press release.

Subject: Important Personal News
Today we're announcing something that I've been thinking about for a long time. Nearly 16 years after founding RealNetworks in 1994, I've decided to step aside from day to day operations. Accordingly, we're announcing today that I am relinquishing my CEO job and will focus on my role as Chairman of Real's board.
A decision of this magnitude produces a complex bundle of feelings. First, profound gratitude for the amazing colleagues I've had the opportunity to work with during a chapter that has turned out to be a third of my life. I am incredibly proud of the creativity, persistence, and commitment to excellence that our teams around the world bring to the table every day.
Second, deep appreciation for the billions (yes, billions!) of consumers that use or have used our products, the hundreds of millions of consumers that use our products every year, and the tens of millions of consumers that use our products and services every month. I am also grateful for the trust placed in us by our fantastic carrier and other distribution partners. Very few companies get to have the global reach and impact that we do.
Third, great confidence in the team that will be running the company day-to-day. As we kick off a search for my permanent successor, Real will be led by Bob Kimball as Acting CEO. Bob is one of the most passionate, hard-charging, and lucid executives I've ever had an opportunity to work with, and given his decade of leadership at Real, I am confident that the company won't skip a beat.
Fourth, the bittersweet feelings that come from closing the book on a 16 year labor of love, emphasis on both labor and love. I feel very fortunate that as Chairman I will still get to carry the torch for everything that has made and will continue to make our company great. And with 2 small children and a third on the way, I feel very lucky that the rhythm of my life can now change, at least for a time, to allow our family to do some things that might not otherwise have been possible. I also look forward to spending more time on civic and other projects outside of Real.
While there's never an ideal time to make a change like this, this is as good a time as any. We've weathered the brunt of the Great Recession and have done what we said we wanted to do, which was to keep our core solid while also building for the future. We've also undertaken an extremely rigorous strategy review and have a very exciting road map for the future that you'll hear about in the days and weeks ahead. And the start of a new decade is a good time, poetically, to pass the baton.
Thanks again for everything, and I hope to see all of you soon.

Tell us when we are succeeding and when we are failing to make the changes necessary to transform. We plan to hit the ground running and we will need your help and input to succeed.
As you learned yesterday, John Giamatteo announced that he will be leaving in April to pursue another opportunity. John has built a great team here are Real and is completely supportive of the executive team going forward and will be working closely with all of us to ensure a smooth transition. Finally, I want to thank all of you for your contributions to RealNetworks. Our employees are our greatest asset and I humbly ask for your support and commitment to build our company into the great company we all know it can be.
Best to all,
Company appoints Robert Kimball President and Acting CEO
SEATTLE–January 13, 2010 Digital entertainment services company RealNetworks, Inc., (Nasdaq: RNWK) announced today that founder Rob Glaser has stepped down as CEO. He will remain chairman of the board of directors of RealNetworks. The company also announced that its board of directors has appointed Robert Kimball president and acting chief executive officer. The board also appointed Mr. Kimball to the board of directors.
"After nearly 16 years, I've decided it's time for me to step away from day-to-day operations," said Glaser. "I'm grateful to all of our stakeholders–customers, partners, shareholders, and most of all, employees–for the support and commitment they've given to RealNetworks. I remain committed to the company and look forward to continuing to serve in my capacity as board chairman."
In February 1994, Mr. Glaser founded what was then known as Progressive Networks, a pioneer in the field of digital audio and video technology for the Internet. Under his leadership, Real has grown into a multinational company, providing digital entertainment products and services to hundreds of millions of consumers around the world.
"Few people have changed an industry and created a unique experience for billions of people," said Jonathan Klein, a board member of RealNetworks and the co-founder and CEO of Getty Images. "Rob has changed the face of digital entertainment with RealNetworks' streaming media products. At the same time Rob has had a profound impact on politics and philanthropy. I'm sure he will continue to do this extraordinary work as well as spending time with his wife and young children. We are grateful for all he has done for the company, the industry and employees, and are pleased that he will continue to serve on the board."
Bob Kimball joined the company in 1999 and has been a member of the senior executive team since 2003. He most recently served as general counsel and executive vice president of corporate development at Real. "In the decade he's been at Real, Bob has proven to be an outstanding business executive and leader, and under his leadership the company won't skip a beat," said Mr. Glaser. "Our board has great confidence in Bob, and he will be a candidate for the permanent CEO position as part of a formal search process that will begin soon."
"I look forward to the opportunity ahead," said Mr. Kimball. "Real has a great team in place, a strong financial position, close customer relationships and fantastic products. We plan to transform Real into a more focused and more profitable company that delivers value to our shareholders."

Thornberry and Smith Introduce bill to help counter threats in information age
Bill updates Cold-War Era law that hampers diplomatic, military efforts
Washington, May 15, 2012
Tags: National Security
Congressmen Mac Thornberry (R-TX) and Adam Smith (D-WA) recently introduced "The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012" (H.R. 5736). The bill modifies a Cold War-era law that hampers diplomatic, defense, and other agencies' ability to communicate in the 21st century.
"We continue to face a multitude of threats and we need to be able to counter them in a multitude of ways. Communication is among the most important," said Rep. Thornberry. "This outdated law ties the hands of America's diplomatic officials, military, and others by inhibiting our ability to effectively communicate in a credible and transparent way. Congress has a responsibility to fix the situation," Thornberry said.
"While the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 was developed to counter communism during the Cold War, it is outdated for the conflicts of today," said Congressman Adam Smith. "Effective strategic communication and public diplomacy should be front-and-center as we work to roll back al-Qaeda's and other violent extremists' influence among disaffected populations. An essential part of our efforts must be a coordinated, comprehensive, adequately resourced plan to counter their radical messages and undermine their recruitment abilities. To do this, Smith-Mundt must be updated to bolster our strategic communications and public diplomacy capacity on all fronts and mediums – especially online."
At issue is the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which was created during the Cold War to provide the State Department authority to counter Soviet propaganda in foreign media. The bill was later amended to restrict the dissemination of public diplomacy information material within the United States.
Contemporary interpretations of the law interfere with a range of communications activities, including public diplomacy, military communication efforts, and emergency and disaster response activities. It has also led to inaccurate reporting by American media about issues affecting global security.
For example, in 2009 the law prohibited a Minneapolis-based radio station with a large Somali-American audience from replaying a Voice of America-produced piece rebutting terrorist propaganda. Even after the community was targeted for recruitment by al-Shabab and other extremists, government lawyers refused the replay request, noting that Smith-Mundt tied their hands.
Due to legal questions surrounding interpretations of the law, domestic news organizations have been reluctant to use U.S. international broadcasters for source material. Private news organizations are also hampered by some of the restrictions. In 2009, the Christian Science Monitor, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Reuters each inaccurately reported poll results, based on a single Honduran newspaper source, that a plurality of Hondurans supported the coup against the government. VOA reported the Gallup poll results about the coup accurately.
Emergency response capabilities have been impacted as well. The 2010 earthquake in Haiti required Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to provide emergency transmission in Creole. An offer from Sirius satellite radio to carry the broadcasts was bogged down by concerns of domestic dissemination. In 1992, the Department of Defense was advised that it would be unable to use its information operations capabilities to support civil authorities following Hurricane Andrew.
To help address multiple barriers to effective communication, H.R. 5736 eliminates the existing ban on domestic dissemination of public diplomacy material, which prohibits such material from being viewed in the United States. Eliminating the ban updates the law to reflect technology advances, removes a barrier to more effective and efficient public diplomacy programs, provides transparency of these programs to U.S. citizens, and allows the material to be available to inform domestic audiences.
The legislation also strengthens current law preventing the State Department and BBG from targeting domestic audiences by stating specifically that public diplomacy programs are intended for foreign audiences abroad and emphasizing that the State Department and BBG shall not influence public opinion in the United States.
Additionally, the measure stipulates that provisions related to dissemination of public diplomacy information material apply only to the State Department and BBG to prevent misinterpretation by other agencies, particularly the Department of Defense. Finally, it emphasizes that the State Department and BBG are not to compete with private news organizations.
Scholars, public officials, and affected agencies have stated that they believe changes to the law are needed. A June 2009 House Armed Services Committee report suggested that the law is hindering ongoing military efforts, suggesting that "over the past sixty years, applicability of this law has affected the development of Department of Defense policy…The Committee does not believe that Public Law 80–402 [Smith-Mundt] should constrain the Department of Defense and its partners' strategic communication and messaging efforts abroad."
The U.S Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy in a July 2011 also identified Smith-Mundt as one of the "challenges to a unified U.S. public diplomacy" and suggested changes may be required. In addition, the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), at its meeting in October 2011, adopted a new five-year strategic plan that calls for repealing the ban on domestic dissemination of BBG programs contained in the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act.

State Sen. Jim Rosapepe castigates tea party Republicans for the recent shutdown, referring to them as "illiterate political extremists" and "power hungry opportunists" ("We have a deal, but the damage is already done," Oct. 17).
Although attempting to shroud himself with the spirit of common sense and bipartisanship, his article is nothing more than a highly partisan attack designed to delegitimize the tea party and, not surprisingly, promote his own party.
It is important to understand the context of the views of those "extremists" that the senator so despises. Our national debt is $17 trillion and rising. Annual Interest payments on that debt are $225 billion and rising. Our unfunded entitlement mandates will balloon those deficits with corresponding interest payments in the upcoming decades absent substantial structural reform.
Add the so far disastrous Obamacare entitlement to this mix and you have a recipe for economic upheaval that no continuing purchase of debt by the Federal Reserve can solve.
Even The Sun, in companion editorials, agreed that something must be done to correct entitlements and establish policies for growth and fiscal responsibility. That is what most of the responsible tea party "extremists" believe.
President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stated that the shutdown and debt ceiling crisis had to end and that when that happened they would be willing to negotiate about everything.
I wish that were true, but if the past is prologue we will hear nothing but posturing and demonizing from Democrats — and few concessions on solving our long-term problems.
Senator Rosapepe proposes as a solution having Democrats regain control of the House in 2014. In other words, bring back the same bunch that gave us Obamacare, stimulus boondoggles and trillion dollar deficits. Thanks, but no thanks.
One real solution is for the president and Congress to act like adults and address our problems head-on before it is too late. Another is to elect more "extremists" and fewer Rosapepes.

Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith & former SikTh front-man Mikee Goodman have joined forces for a brand new studio project PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION
aaamusic | On 10, Jan 2012
Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith & former SikTh front-man Mikee Goodman have joined forces for a brand new studio project PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION, and their debut album, 'Awoken Broken', will be released on 27th February 2012 through Spinefarm Records…
VERY OFTEN, musicians – especially established ones – like to remain within their musical comfort zone, preferring to walk the tried an' tested path rather than breaking out in search of pastures new. Primal Rock Rebellion don't fit that bill.
The brainchild of Adrian Smith and Mikee Goodman, UK musicians with different stories to tell, this is a fresh new project that manages to be both reassuring and unexpected at one and the same time…
On the one side, there's Adrian, a key member of the Iron Maiden set-up, a band he first joined back in 1980; and since that time, Maiden has gone on to become one of the biggest hard rock bands the world has seen, playing to vast and staunchly committed crowds all over the world, opening exciting new doors in parts of the globe many people will never even have heard of! Their last studio album, 'The Final Frontier', hit the No 1 slot in over 28 countries!
With Maiden's reputation having been forged through their ability to blend well-crafted vocal & guitar melodies with the sheer brute force of prime heavy metal, it will surely come as no surprise that the debut Primal Rock Rebellion album, 'Awoken Broken', delivers fully on both fronts, but with an extra nod to the underground, the alternative and the downright edgy – an aspect of the music that is enhanced from start to finish by the presence of one-time SikTh frontman / lyric-writer / spoken word maestro, Mikee Goodman.
With SikTh now universally lauded as one of the major inspirations of the new 'Djent' movement, it's perfect timing for Mikee to return to the music scene in full force, following that band's decision to take
a break after their second 'Death Of A Dead Day' album back in 2006; Mikee's unique vocal approach – an arresting, signature blend of spoken word plus a wide variety of vocal tones (some dark and disturbing, others that owe a debt to the world of animation) was very much a part of what made SikTh stand out from the chasing pack, and fans will be delighted to know that his key vocal mannerisms have been both retained and honed for Primal Rock Rebellion, in a form tightly bound to the structure of the songs themselves.
Yes, there are spoken word elements, and yes, there are more extreme vocal moments peppered throughout the tracks, but generally speaking, this is a more mature and experienced Mikee, showcasing a strong, melodic voice plus an impressive vocal range, using the more 'adventurous' end of his repertoire as a way of providing contrast and effect.
In essence, Primal Rock Rebellion is the meeting of different minds, different mentalities and different musical backgrounds, but the end result is very much a cohesive, self-produced whole… albeit one that reflects the individual talents of the musicians involved: Adrian provides the guitars, the bass and the advanced song-writing skills – the sense of drama, of light and shade, of music designed to stir the senses, all of them.
Right from the start, it's been very much a labour of love…
Adrian: "It was great working at my own pace and in my own studio with no time constraints. I think during the making of this album I went around the world twice with Maiden, working on the project in between. In the process, it allowed for a bit more of an experimental approach."
Meanwhile, Mikee goes head to head with this renowned player as a full writing & production partner, adding new (sometimes surprising, often experimental) layers to the tracks, and ensuring that the music glistens with an inherent contemporary sheen.
Mikee: "Adrian inspired me in many ways. I learnt the importance and the power of choruses in songs. Adrian also gave me a lot more belief in myself melodically. I think we pulled each other out of our comfort zones, creating something fresh and exciting along the way. We co-produced the album together, and the whole recording process was very relaxed – no deadlines, just honing the songs naturally as we recorded them, a new experience for both of us."
IN ADDITION to the Primal Rock Rebellion pair, there are backing vocals on three of the tracks (delivered by Tarin Kerry, discovered by Mikee while he was acting as producer for a band she was in), viola on the bulk of the songs (provided by Abi Fry of Bat For Lashes), plus original SikTh member Dan 'Loord' Foord on drums.
'Awoken Broken' was produced by Adrian and Mikee, and mixed by Simon Hanhart , whose previous credits include everyone from Tin Machine to Saxon. The album features 12 tracks top to tail, and it will be available on digi-pak CD, digital download and double coloured vinyl in gatefold sleeve. The track-listing runs as follows:-
1. No Friendly Neighbour 4.53
2. No Place Like Home 3.06
3. I See Lights 4.59
4. Bright As A Fire 6.21
5. Savage World 3.38
6. Tortured Tone 5.08
7. White Sheet Robes 5.16
8. As Tears Come Falling From The Sky 0.47
9. Awoken Broken 4.58
10. Search For Bliss 4.13
11. Snake Ladders 4.43
12. Mirror and the Moon 5.04

Brian Austin Green Cuddles Baby Noah For First Time In Public
Proud parents Megan and Brian showed off their new baby boy Feb. 10 at the Carnival parades in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Megan gave birth to the couple's first child Noah Shannon Green on Sept. 7, but this is the first time we've seen his face!
Brian Austin Green, 39, sat with his wife Megan Fox, 26, and baby Noah, 5 months, at the Sambadrome on Feb. 10 to watch the Carnival parades in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The new family sat in the VIP box sponsored by South American beer manufacturer Brahma, a brand for which Megan is a spokeswoman.
Baby Green certainly picked up his parents' good looks! In a precious picture, Beverly Hills 90210 alum Brian cradles Noah in his arm as the two look off their hotel balcony at the Carnival festivities, RadarOnline.com is reporting. Even though Megan welcomed Noah in September, this is the first time we have been his cute little face — and he's so precious!
Noah is the first child for the couple, but Brian has a son Kassius, 10, from a previous marriage with Las Vegas actress Vanessa Marcil, 44.
Megan Fox Gushes About Motherhood
Fox opened up to Marie Claire U.K. about how much motherhood has changed her for the better. Named FHM's Sexiest Women in the world, there's nothing closer to this hot actresses heart than her new baby boy.
"All I wanted to do my whole, whole life was have a baby, and now, I've finally done it," she gushed to the magazine's March issue. "I just want to give Noah as much of myself as I can."
It seems like the world of parenting has placed Megan on a new career path. After welcoming Noah, the new mom admitted that it has become increasingly difficult to balance her personal and her professional life.
"It is very hard for me to do [professional] stuff because I feel like it isn't my job anymore. My job is to be with him," the This is 40 star said in the magazine.
With those chubby cheeks, we see why Megan loves her job as mommy! Tell us HollyMoms, does baby Noah look more like his Foxy mommy or hot hunk dad?

PLUS: "Birthright Part One": Now it can be revealed: the long-held secret of the disappearance of Lien-Da's father!
Featured storiesEdit
On the Run Part One: All Eggs in One BasketEdit

Dr. Eggman unlocks the cell override code while insanely rambling. Snively comes over and witnesses Robotnik crashing out of his cell. He throws Snively onto the wall and heads out to "destroy that hedgehog". Snively puts the Yagyu Clan and Dark Legion on high alert. He rams into the Iron King by accident and explains the problem. As he does, Eggman suddenly crashes out in his Egg-Tortoise, scattering the Iron Dominion's forces.
Back at New Mobotropolis, Sonic and Monkey Khan visit Bunnie in the Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital while she is healing. Bunnie says she just needed some "rest". Monkey Khan apologizes to Bunnie, but she tells him that she was in more dangerous situations than what had happened that morning, and forgives him. Doctor Quack reminds Khan that he should be in bed. Sonic steps in and tells the doctor that Khan was with him the whole time. As Dr. Quack walks out, Nicole comes in and tells the room at large about a disturbance in the Great Forest.
Sonic heads to the forest and finds Dr. Eggman ripping out trees with his mech, looking for "Knothole". As he sees the blue hedgehog, Eggman at first thinks it's another Mobian, but suddenly realizes who he is. Eggman then fires missiles at Sonic, but Sonic dodges all of them.
Meanwhile, in the Eggdome, as the Iron Queen is directing everyone to get prepared, the Bride of the Conquering Storm comes in and explains Espio's failure. The Iron Queen directs her to go back to the Dragon Kingdom to get the other clans in line. Conquering Storm acknowledges the order while leaving with a sinister grin on her face. The queen then tells Dimitri he will be in charge of the Eggdome's security. When she leaves, Dimitri then tells Lien-Da to watch over things, but as he goes to his lab, she heads to her bunk instead.
Tails flies in to help Sonic and sees that it is Dr. Eggman causing all the havoc. Sonic directs him to disable the guns while Eggman is distracted. Tails manages to crawl under and shut down the entire system instead. He asks Sonic if he is going easy on Eggman, and he says he is after "breaking" him. Tails explains that he deserves no sympathy, but he does say that they don't have to be cruel to him. Sonic tries to get Eggman to surrender, but he sucker-punches Sonic in the face and passes out after laughing maniacally. The Iron Dominion then appears and demands that they hand over Eggman. Sonic tells Tails to take Eggman to the city, saying he's got the hard job while he prepares to fight the Iron Dominion.
Birthright Part OneEdit
- Writer: Ian Flynn
- Pencils: Jamal Peppers
- Inks: Terry Austin
- Colors: Matt Herms
- Letters: John Workman
While resting in her bunk, Lien-Da reflects on how a Kommissar shouldn't be bunking with the troops and that she should be Grandmaster. She reflects on how she and her brother Kragok plotted their own father's assassination, how she used an unstable weapon to kill him and how it also hurt herself. She also remembered how when she came to, Kragok took her 'rightful' Grandmaster position for himself alone. She reflects that whenever she had a chance to become Grandmaster, someone else would always take it away from her. Dimitri then told Lien-Da over the intercom to come to his lab. Hesitating for a few moments, Lien-Da goes to the lab, intending to take her rightful position...
Off PanelEdit
- Script: Ian Flynn
- Pencils: Lindsay Cibos
- Inks/Colors: Paul Kaminski
Dr. Eggman, looking at the next script is enraged at how they are making him act. Snively remarks that "Truly, the mighty have fallen." Eggman was not upset about that, saying that if he has to act differently, he has the perfect "plot twist" in mind. He changes into his full El Gran Gordo costume from the 'Sonic X comics and says he should return. Snively, aghast at the sight of the gaudy costume, then cries out, "Can we even do that joke?!"
Other featuresEdit
- Fan Funnies: Amy Rose hugs Shadow the Hedgehog then Silver the Hedgehog mistaking them both to be Sonic. Sonic puts on a Smiley face mask and thinks to himself "Best idea ever!" looking at an Amy who cannot find Sonic (though he's standing right next to her).
- Dr. Eggman: SNIV-LAAAAAAYYY!!! What are you doing out here?! Snoo-ping as usual?!
- Dr. Eggman: I am Warlord-Doctor Julian Ivo Eggman-Robo-Kintobor Mach Two! My rule is law and the law is my will! And I HATE that hedgehog!!!
- Dr. Eggman: I will destroy the blue one, you know! He's the obstacle that always gets in my way!
- Sonic: Take it easy, Doc. I was with him the whole time.
- Dr. Quack: And that's supposed to comfort me? You're a disaster magnet, kid.
- Dr. Eggman: BLAST IT! Knothole wasn't under that tree, either!
- This issue marks the return of the Off Panel in the main comic series.
- "Birthright" confirms that Lien-Da was responsible for the death of Mari-Su. Previously, it was heavily implied that Kragok and Lien-Da had a hand in her death, but it was never confirmed.
- The Twilight Zone is again referred to as the Twilight Cage from the SEGA game Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, probably since some elements and characters in Sonic Chronicles were taken from Archie.
- The cover of Sonic Super Special Magazine #1 uses the same artwork of Sonic from the cover of this very issue.
- Similarly, the pose of Eggman was reused on a tar-out poster in the Sonic Super Special Magazine #2.
- Throughout the issue, Dr. Eggman frequently makes references to famous lines and habits of the various versions of himself across the Sonic franchise's history
- While in his padded cell, Eggman babbles about several elements of the early comics, especially those relevant to the original Dr. Robotnik. These references include mentions of Kodos Lion, Crabmeat as Robotnik's lackey, the Ultimate Annihilator, and Streaking Pashas.
- Eggman's quote to Snively "Snoo-ping as usual" is a reference to the internet meme Robotnik Pingas, which is well known among Sonic fans on YouTube and based on an out-of-context line from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.[1]
- Eggman covers his left arm in mechanical parts, mimicking the original Dr. Robotnik's roboticized left arm.
- Eggman's line, "SNIV-LAAAAAAYYY!!!", along with Snively's "EEEEE!", are references to Snively's scream from the Sonic the Hedgehog television series.
- Eggman quotes part of his Sonic Adventure 2 theme song, "E.G.G.M.A.N.", when escaping from the Eggdome.
- Similar to "Snoo-ping as usual," Eggman quotes from the Youtube video It's From the Show as well.

Paul Muldoon poems commemorate death of Oscar Wilde
Two poems by Paul Muldoon, director of Princeton's Program in Creative Writing, will be officially unveiled in England next month by the Reading Borough Council to mark the centennial of Oscar Wilde's death.
Wilde, the renowned 19th century Irish playwright, poet and novelist, fell from grace when he was sent to jail for two years of hard labor for "the crime of homosexuality." He spent the sentence at several jails, the last at Reading. Three years after he was released, he died poor in a Paris hotel room on Nov. 30, 1900.
A century later, the Reading Borough Council commissioned Muldoon to write an epitaph to Wilde for a memorial.
Muldoon's two Wilde poems will be a permanent part of the memorial -- a walkway featuring a set of gates that open onto Chestnut Walk, which runs between the prison and the Kennet river. These gates will carry an inscription of Muldoon's poem, "The Gate":
As I roved out between a gaol And a river in spate in June as like as January I happened on a gate which, though it lay wide open, would make me hesitate.
I was so long a prisoner that, though I now am free, the thought that I serve some sentence is so ingrained in me that I still wait for a warder to come and turn the key.
"The phenomenon I describe in the poem is one that is quite familiar apparently to a lot of prisoners," Muldoon said. "When they come out of prison, they say they cannot bear somehow to open a door for themselves. They are so used to the idea of somebody opening it for them, which is a very striking thought, and that's what I hoped to incorporate in that little image."
In addition to the gates, the walk features a laser-cut fence and three benches that line the river's edge. A wooden plank cast in metal -- the same size as the one on which Wilde slept while he was imprisoned -- is the only seat on the prison-side of the walk.
Engraved in the bench will be the second poem from Muldoon:
A stone-breaker on his stone bed lay no less tightly curled than Opposite-leaved Saxifrage that even now, unfurled, has broken through, its wall of walls into this other world.
With "The Bed," Muldoon said he was trying to summon up images of hard labor and the sadness and longing of a prisoner.
Muldoon said the poems are somewhat based on the stanza pattern of "The Ballad of Reading Gaol," a somber poem written by Wilde about the execution of an inmate.
Muldoon plans to read the poems at Princeton as part of a local commemoration of Wilde's death at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1 in the Jimmy Stewart Theater at 185 Nassau St. In addition to Muldoon, Princeton professors Michael Cadden, Lawrence Danson, Jeff Nunkawa and Elaine Showalter will discuss Wilde's work.
"I'm delighted to be asked to do these things," Muldoon said, "because it's important that poetry be seen to have its place in the world."
Muldoon, who was born in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, has won the Irish Times Literature Prize, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature, and other honors.

Looks like Slumgullion will have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a review that originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer. Actually, this band should have been included among the Honorable Mentions on my Favorite Releases of 2013, so I went back and added them to the list.
The Paper Kites explore a more textured sound on their full-length debut States than they did on two previous EPs. There's still a definite indie rock vibe to the Australian quintet's material but it's augmented by strings, offbeat percussion, and ethereal keyboards. The 13 tracks are most notable for the way singer-guitarist Sam Bentley, singer-keyboards player Christina Lacy, and guitarist-singer David Powys envelop the listener with their lush vocals.
Chief songwriter Bentley creates minimalist lyrics that sometimes describe romantic relationships but elsewhere hint at more complex subject matter. "You I long to keep" he writes on "In Reverie," a catchy, new wave style number that finds him sharing lead vocals with Lacy. The somber "Gates" seems to depict a soul awaiting judgment with lines like, "When I take no more and feed the ground/Mercy for my flaws, don't send me down." The exotic "Living Colour," one of The Paper Kites' more ambitious efforts, features Bentley and Lacy's interwoven vocals floating above a blend of classical strings and hard rock guitar.

Cliff Le Couteur was my father. My name is William Le Couteur, and I have two brothers, Allan and Peter.I have decided to write what I know of his life mainly to provide a record for interested parties, as well as for my brother Peter's sons Allan and Tim, and my other brother Allan's children, Mark and Kim, as well as my daughter Fleur.
With this story goes many black and white photos, which I hope to post on this blog, or on the online photo storage Flickr. The above photo is one I found in his collection and I believe it would be the Catalina used on the Pacific Island Survey he went on in 1951.
The one below is I'm pretty sure him on the wing of the Catalina.
He was born in Dunedin, on 1st of October 1913, and died in 1993. His wartime nickname was Kiwi, which he kept. I remember him telling me that he was brought up near the beach called St Kilda, near Dunedin, and that he said that he still went swimming even though the sand was frozen. The family home was 24 Larkworthy St.He left primary school about the age of 12 and started work in a foundry in Dunedin.
This was not to his liking and he applied and was accepted to be an apprentice carpenter. I believe he served out his time, but the depression then struck the world around 1929, which would make him about 16 years old.
Unable to find work, he headed across the countryside of Otago, working at various farms for board and food. At some stage in this, he met my mother, Doris Kempthourne, who lived near the small town of Heriot. He must have heard that things were better in South Africa, because he took a trip there in 1936, and was not only able to work there, but learn to fly there.

He must have heard that things were better in South Africa, because he took a trip there in 1936, and was not only able to work there, but learn to fly there.
This money must have been enough for him to return to New Zealand and marry Doris in 1937, and once they were married, he took her to South Africa.
They then returned to New Zealand in 1939 and had my two elder brothers, Allan and Peter.
Around 1940, he was called up to fly in the RAF. He trained to fly bombers, but during training, he broke an arm playing rugby, so he ended up training on flying boats.
During the war he flew the Sunderland and also the PBY Catalina. He must have done quite a bit of flying in the Mediterannean, because I remember him talking of flying out of Gibraltar and Malta. I remember asking him if he ever had to fight against another aeroplane, and he told me of the time he was attacked by a JU88? (a German transport aeroplane).
He said they escaped by using the slow speed of the Catalina and showed me scars in his neck where bits of something hit him. Apart from this story, I have no idea why he would have been accorded a DFC.
Apparently I can contact the RNZAF to find out, but cannot seem to bring myself to do so. At the end of the European war he returned home to New Zealand, and was expecting to go and fight against the Japanese, but he was not needed because of the atomic bombs that ended that war.
After the war, he started work with Tasman Empire Airways Ltd, (TEAL) which was providing the first passenger air services to and from New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands. At this time, 1946, I was born. I understand that it was pretty special to have survived the war, and I have an idea that I might have been spoiled a little.
He was given a "State" house at 34 Stewart Rd in Mt Albert. Many of his neighbours were returned servicemen, and I was told later that they had a neighbourhood tomato fight - grown men standing on the tops of the little potting sheds in the back garden flinging tomatoes at one another.I guess it would be as good a cure for the terrors of war as anything.
He made stilts. Not just little ones. Big ones. On completion of these he proceeded to demonstrate how they should be used to my two elder brothers. After walking around the back yard for some minutes, he said:
"Now, if you need a rest, all you have to do is back up to the house and lean it."
Which he proceeded to do. The women next door who was watching all this just about had a nasty accident laughing so much, because he chose to rest against a window, which he broke.
I remember that he used to take me to the Parnell Baths for me to learn to swim. He owned a 1928 Dodge, which he called Esmeralda. He was very pleased with this car, but the split rims caused him some anguish! It was a romantic time for the flying boats, and it would have been fantastic to be on one of those flights. There was a special expedition mounted in a Catalina, and he was one of the pilots. This expedition's purpose was to survey and clear landing spots in the coral reefs. I think he enjoyed this immensely, and told me stories of taking dynamite down in the water to blow up bits of coral reef. I have his diary of the trip, and one of my tasks is to translate his writing and show it on this blog.
Around 1952, he bought a section of land at 28 Glen Atkinson St and proceeded to build a house there in his spare time. I realise now that this was an undertaking he should not have attempted, though he did gain much satisfaction from the various stages of completion. For my part, I thought we would never get above the mud and concrete of the foundations. He finished building the house around 1962 (enough for us to live in).
At around the mid fifties, TEAL brought into service the DC6, a land plane with four piston engines. On my 12th birthday I remember him saying: "Do you want to fly with me to Fiji for the weekend?" These were more relaxed days, and I was able to sit in the seat in the flight deck normally have been occupied by the radio operator, which they did not have.
He had the extra responsibility of being the Safety Officer. I have a feeling he enjoyed getting crews to use life rafts in the Parnell Baths.
The planes he later flew were Lockheed Electras, and Douglas DC8's. Retirement at 55 years was mandatory in those days and he felt a bit bitter about that, because he felt he could have lasted a little longer. After some years of trying to be retired, he started work again as a carpenter, and managed to do this until he retired properly. I worked for a small time as an architectural draftsman, and redrew dad's house on my computer. I was quite surprised that any alterations I made to his design immediately looked wrong. This house is still standing at
28 Glen Atkinson St and his insistence on heart rimu for the framing means this is one solid

1 roasting chicken, approx. 4 pounds
1 12-ounce can beer (I use Yuengling. It's a beer guy thing)
¼ C. spice rub of your choice
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
Light charcoal or preheat gas grill to 350° F. You'll be cooking indirectly, so light only one side of the grill.
Pour off a few ounces of the beer, no more than 1/3. If you're going to use wood chips, which I highly recommend, pour the beer over them and let them soak while you get everything else ready.
Using a churchkey or other suitable tool, carefully make two or three other holes in the top of the beer can to allow maximum vapor escape. Add 1 tbsp. of the spice rub to the beer in the can.
Remove excess fat from the chicken, then rub it down inside and out with the dry rub. Make sure to put plenty inside the body cavity and neck opening.
Lightly oil the outside of the can and set it in a shallow pan which will fit on your grill. Put the chicken onto the can slowly, and adjust the legs to make a "tripod" shape so the bird won't roll over.
Carefully move the pan to the grill and place it away from the heat, for indirect cooking. If using wood chips, drain them and put them on the coals now, or in your smoker box on top of the burner.
Roast until your probe thermometer reads 165° F. deep in the breast meat. Remove from heat and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Repeat as needed.
NOTE: This CAN also be done in the oven. Start at 400° F. for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° until done.

Are You Doing Enough to Get Better, Or Enough to Get By?
I have taken the necessary actions to evaluate myself and I've identified the steps that need to be taken in order to achieve my goals, its simply about putting the plan in action and staying focused. I admit I was at a point where I was content and comfortable with where myself and my brand were, but like I said in my last post: the real bag is too big for our comfort zones!
The Real "Bag" Is Too Big For Your Comfort Zone
Everyone wants to "get in their bag," but what everyone doesn't realize is: the real bag is too big for your comfort zone. You have to choose one or the other! Here are some reasons why stepping out of that comfort zone makes more sense than staying in it.
Pefectly Imperfect
Its important to remember that no matter how pure our intentions are, we are still human and mistakes will be made. The judge of character is not in success or failure but how we react in the face of adversity.
"The Beauty of Life Is Not In Reaching The Destination, But In The Journey To Get There."
There is so much beauty in the world for us to see and if you haven't started already, you should definitely look into traveling the world. The beauty is not in making it to each destination, its about the wonderful things you see and learn while on the way there!

The classy and sweet sendoff Kristen Wiig got at the end of the season finale of "Saturday Night Live" marked a departure, in more ways than one, for a performer who created hilariously disturbing and grotesque characters during an at-times brilliant seven-year run.
Wiig, after all, gave us Gilly, the vacant-eyed, human rag-doll, schoolgirl havoc machine. She inhabited the hair-twirling, monotone-voiced queen of one-upsmanship, Penelope. She lent a manic energy to the screeching, annoyingly invasive Target Lady.
U.S. & World
Watching the comic actress struggle to contain her emotions during her touching farewell dance with her cast mates offered a final oddly fascinating "SNL" moment starring Kristen Wiig, who leaves as one of the show's all-time greatest cast members, part a pantheon that includes names like Belushi, Radner, Murphy, Myers, Hartman, Ferrell and Fey.
The comic character actress seemed almost embarrassed to be the star attraction of a show that capped a generally strong season with a terrific hosting job by Mick Jagger, who led her poignant goodbye with sing-alongs of "She's a Rainbow" and "Ruby Tuesday." Her humble reaction belied her collection of characters, from oddballs (the perennially outraged Aunt Linda) to outright freaks (Dooneese, the bizarre "tiny hands" singer), tied by a desperate need for attention and the willingness to do whatever it takes to seize the spotlight – a satirical reflection, perhaps, of a time when celebrity too often derives from a talent-free drive to out-outrageous the competition.
Wiig never stopped trying to top herself during her "SNL" tenure. Her turn as Bjork in the "Bein' Quirky with Zooey Deschanel" bit in February marked the funniest performance of the season and ranks among Wiig's best. Wiig's standout appearances in her final outing as a cast member both came during running gags offering a surreal revisionist take on television's supposedly simpler 1960s hey-day: her Dooneese from an alternate-reality version of "The Lawrence Welk Show" opened the finale (with an assist from Jon Hamm) and an appearance by her Broadway has-been, Mindy Grayson, who always blurts the answer in a "Password"-like game show, proved a highlight.
Wiig seemed to thrive on being in more than her share of skits, though judging from the success of "Bridesmaids," she's got a strong future in the slower-moving world of movie comedy. "SNL," which has overcome the loss of other favorites – including Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in recent years – will go on. But like Gilly, we're "sorry" to see Wiig go.
As we await the inevitable "Best of Kristen Wiig" special, check out her musical goodbye and some of her funniest moments below:
