Oprah Winfrey announced this week that she will discontinue 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' in 2011. Her timing is impeccable. Daytime TV is on a steep decline.

She has used her fame and fortune helping others. She inspires many women. Many entertainers can make us laugh and love, but only Oprah brings emotional control and mental strength to her viewers. And in these times we sure need it. IMHO.

I haven't had a TV for over two years and can't say I really miss it. I prefer YouTube and the internet in general...and books.

David The CSM Facebook Profile Picture presently shows only as a partial on the page. Why not use the attached logo-type image to freshen up the page? I would suggest that you first swap the C and M colors (which would then make the logo echo the color combination in the banner view itself). Here is a photo for reference:

The Christian Science Monitor David, you can post any comments from articles you've read online or in the weekly magazine on the Facebook page. We like to think of it as an alternative to the traditional Letter to the Editor.

It's 11:46 pm on November 19th and I'm sitting in the theater with my 16 year old son and 14 year old daughter waiting for the movie to start. This theater has multiple screens dedicated to the opening at midnight and they are all sold out! Can't wait!

Armed guards on the Maersk Alabama helped repel Wednesday's attack by pirates. An array of nonlethal weapons – from acoustic devices to a system that fires nets or even golf balls – is coming onto the market.

There should be a fantastically high penalty for paying off or negotiating with pirates. The first time someone gave them $$ they bought the weapons and 10X more pirates showed up. Good move.
