60 Minutes A little Friday night diversion. Last December, we posted a 1986 clip of Oprah Winfrey on 60Minutes.com and YouTube. Oprah shook up the TV landscape Friday (Nov. 20) when she announced her daytime show would end in 2011. Enjoy this vintage Mike Wallace excerpt and don't forget to tune in this Sunday, Nov. 22, at 7 p.m. ET/PT for an all new 60 Minutes!

Twenty-two years ago this week, Oprah Winfrey had recently launched her talk show, but, as she told Mike Wallace, she always believed she would be a success.

60 Minutes Hi Everone,
A peek at Sunday's 60 Minutes: Morley Safer goes on the set of Jim Cameron's upcoming 3D fantasy film "Avatar." Cameron thinks his film may change Hollywood.

I think it would be a revoulutionary act! History making discovery in Technology and in just what this new ability would bring in cures and health and understanding more from this world and its life cycle! Dinosaurs did play into the evolution of this planet at one time. I think we could learn more and find History and bring it too the present. That would be so-cool.

60 Minutes A little Friday night diversion from the 60 Minutes archives, and only because I saw a promo for the movie on TV a few minutes ago. In 1983, Morley Safer met George Finn, the real "Rain Man" (later portrayed by Dustin Hoffman on the big screen). As you can see, Finn is a master of calendar calculation.

ps. Shameless plug alert - watch 60 Minutes this Sunday @ 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Very informative piece on cyber security. Grateful to see this Administration proactively allocating at least some, if not yet enough, resources to defend our nation against this 21st Century threat. As for those concerned this investigative journalism will provide hackers motivation, guess what? They're way ahead of us... Time to pull our heads out of the sand and open our eyes to the challenges our nation and allies face... Kudos to 60 Minutes for airing this piece!

so with all this information on cyber security and the realization that we have a real threat why isn't the administration who is hell bent on spending money calling it stimlus not hitting one out of the part and using the stiumulus money to bring some of those jobs back to the us. bring back the manufacturing of key compenents to the us and then ... Read Morethe risk is not there. No foreign county can impregnate any component with risky programs. You make the tax incentives to great jobs especially these types of jobs and you will see a stimulated economy and you will see less risk.

Scott Pelley visited the only U.S. production line of the H1N1 flu vaccine; Lara Logan reported on Yakuza, Japan's not-so-secret mafia that has worldwide reach; and Lesley Stahl reported on video pirates - folks who steal ...movies sometimes even before they've hit theaters and distribute them online.

Plus, we featured our second 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll. Check it out below and give your input. There's a Facebook-related question too - apparently a large number of respondents had never heard of it (???!!!).

H1 N1 I feel is just the begining into a brand new strain of diffrent types of Flu's that attack the human body! The flu its self over the years has become stronger and more resistant b/c our medicines clone its gene and inturn the Common Flu search out other areas of the body too survive and as it learned too mask its self over time. It's now ... Read Morebuilt up a resistant level that it now has seperated and attacks the human body much more quicker! In another year or two, it will seperate again because even though we are finding ways too fight it off with another strain of a flu-shot, it will change again its gene/make up and counter our moves. Its like playing a game of chess! Over time you remeber the moves other competitors had made too win. The same is now being done..............

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month.

On October 30, President Obama issued Presidential Proclamations for the month of November for the following:

National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month ... Read More

National Diabetes Month

National Adoption Month

National Family Caregivers Month

National Native American Heritage Month

As of 8:00 a.m., November 11, the White House has yet to issue a Presidential Proclamation for National Epilepsy Awareness Month.

The fine 60 Minute piece called Epilepsy: Fighting For A Cure was a start at improving public awareness about epilepsy and the 3 million people in the U.S. with the disorder, including the work of Susan and David Axelrod in putting a face on the disorder and seeking a cure. One would think that given the influence of David Axelrod in the Obama Administration, a National Epilepsy Awareness Month proclamation would have been issued at the same time as the others.

Go to:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

Leave a message asking for the President to issue an Epilepsy Awareness proclamation. Persons with epilepsy must be their own best advocates.
