I recently sat down with leading Egyptian dissident Majed El Shafie for a look at what's coming in Egypt and the Middle East thanks to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This year's Grammy awards took a few right and a few wrong turns. Music’s biggest names, including British songstress Adele who took home six gold trophies, and talented newcomers gathered in Los Angeles, Calif., to celebrate the year’s best on Sunday.
