In the 1100s Gerard of Cremona discovered and translated into Latin a ninth century Arabic book bearing the title: The Book of Aristotle's Explanation of the Pure Good.
Many assumed that this Arabic text captured an authentic metaphysical book by Aristotle. It bore the Latin title Liber de causis or "Book of Causes."
About one hundred years later, Thomas Aquinas (so the legend goes) asked William of Moerbeke to translate The Elements of Theology by Proclus from the original Greek into Latin. The Latin translation of Proclus' Elements of Theology became available in 1268 - six years before the death of Saint Thomas.
Saint Thomas discovered something amazing. What was assumed to be Aristotle's Book of Causes was actually an Arabic bastardized version of Proclus' Elements of Theology.
Think about it. Aristotle died in 322 before Christ. Proclus died in the year of Our Lord 485. That's a difference of 807 years. What a goof up!
So Saint Thomas Aquinas picked up on the borrowing and was able to solve the mystery.
Ah...but there is more mystery.
If you have read much Saint Thomas Aquinas, you know that he loves Dionysius the Areopagite. Thomas cites Dionysius 1,700 times. That's really important. This means that Dionysius is one of the most quoted sources for Thomas - right up there with Augustine and Aristotle.
Modern scholars hold that the works of Dionysius are a Christianized version of Proclus. They even claim that the "Pseudo-Dionysius" borrows directly from the pagan philosopher Proclus. This entails that the traditional dating of the Dionysian books cannot be placed during the time of the Apostles. Rather, the "Pseudo-Dionysian" books would need to be dated after Proclus - sometime around AD 500.
If Thomas Aquinas figured out that the Liber de Causis derived from Proclus, why didn't he figure out that Dionysius also derived from Proclus? Hmmm. Well maybe there is more to this story. I'm currently studying the issue. So far, I've discovered that many of the so-called Proclian elements in the Dionysian works can be traced straight to Aristotle's authentic works. If this is always the case, then perhaps we need not claim that a Pseudo-Dionysius was borrowing from Proclus. This would allow us to follow Thomas Aquinas who believed that Dionysius is none other than the true Dionysius converted by St Paul in Acts 17. There are other complications, but it is rather interesting. Stay tuned.
PS: I'm also working on a translation of St Thomas Aquinas' commentary on Dionysius' Divine Names. However, I hear that others are doing the same thing. Can anybody out there confirm this rumor. I don't want to labor on the translation if someone else is doing it.

It works fine for customer cart login but the admin login form/page will not come up.
I have reloaded admin folder, sub folders and files. I have went over the configure.php with a fine tooth comb.

Tooltip still says 10% total health, and after the patch having a bajillion tooltip fixes I doubt they'd put in yet another change that didn't have a tooltip change with it. Maybe it's a bug... I shall see if I cant find the answer.
I guess i missed this in the patch notes, but it appears that vengence is capped at 100% of your stamina rather than 10% of your health now.
Anyone else notice this? or am i seeing things?
Because the tooltip is wrong. Vengeance doesnt cap at 10% of health, but at raw stamina + 10% of base health. Go figure it
Check the blue post from there.
It's actually buffed Stamina, but yes.

Frozen Yogurt Dots
Are you looking for a healthy snack that bodes well with your child's lifestyle? Consider making frozen yogurt dots for your kids. They are a healthy snack that is fun and so easy to make that your children can help too! Having your children help you cook has many developmental benefits.
This may seem totally unrelated, but do you know what the top first baby words are (other than mommy and daddy)? The National Literacy Trust research reveals the top first words to be:
1) Dog
2) Cat
3) More
Hmmm, how did "more" crack the Top 3? Actually, this doesn't surprise me one bit. This word is easy to say, and especially easy to use. Does this sound like a common scenario at home?
You give your little one a small treat. How do they respond? "More."
Okay, so you give them a little more. How do they respond? "More."
This goes on and on until you know what? You're out of treats!
If you're going to give your child "more," at least make it healthy right?
Well, with frozen yogurt dots, it will be easy to give your child "more." Feel guilt free as you keep giving them more and more healthy bite-sized yogurt to eat.
To do so, follow the simple instructions at Kids Are From Pluto!

Conditions for a new bull market are slowly getting satisfied. The yield curve has stopped flattening, liquidity is improving, valuations appear supportive and profit margin expansion is a growing possibility in the coming months, says Morgan Stanley Research.
Morgan Stanley has rolled out its market target to December2013 as 23,069. This implies that the market will be trading at 14.9 tines the FY14 estimated Sensex earnings in December 2013.
Morgan Stanley is expecting the Sensex earnings growth to be 10% and 19% in FY13 and FY14. Significantly, broad market earnings may have troughed or could trough in the current quarter. Revenue growth should slowly accelerate in the coming months. Margins could rise in the coming months with a favourable base effect driven by the relative movement in the current and fiscal deficit. Interest rates are already down YoY (year-on-year), and should stem the steep rise witnessed in interest costs in the previous 12 months. The risk to earnings is that the investment rate collapses, although recent signals suggest that the public sector is starting to spend money.
The key risks are that commodity prices rise quickly, bringing inflation pressures to the fore, and global risk appetite wanes as global policy makers slip into another cycle of complacency. Mid-term polls are also a possibility, but it is not necessarily seen as a downside risk to stocks.
Morgan Stanley observes that the decisive policy action at home (reduction in subsidies and opening up of FDI) and, more crucially, concerted action by European and US central banks have reduced India's tail risk linked to poor macro stability (twin deficit).
Accordingly, the research agency has gone underweight on consumer staples and has raised energy and materials stocks to overweight. Also, it has taken industrials to neutral. It has trimmed technology by 100 basis points. Consequently, the average sector position has expanded, and it is seen as an emerging strategy, as the average correlations of stocks to the market appear to be falling and no longer merits extreme focus on stock picking

Hear The Murmur Get Wicked
Tall, blonde, still stunning in her 40s and now a lauded filmmaker, 'mumblecore' maven Lynn Shelton explains how a difficult adolescence moulded her as an artist...
Roe McDermott, 10 Jul 2012
"Something about adolescence just crushed it out of me, all my agency, and it took me a long time to regain it. I started making features when I was 40, and once I was on set, I realised that this was always what I was meant to do. But I don't think I would have been ready for it before. I had to grow and mature and trust myself and try win back my confidence."
This notion of the female experience is a very important theme in Lynn Shelton's work, particularly her debut, We Go Way Back, which the director says was "emotionally autobiographical." In it, a 23-year-old actress is confronted by and speaks to the spectre of her 13-year-old self. A beautifully original and emotional film, Shelton's aim was not only to confront her own demons, but the experience of many confident young women who become beaten down by the damaging messages society sends them.
"I grew up in a very feminist household, was always told I could do whatever I wanted. But something happens to young women in adolescence, and for me it was that dawning realisation that I was becoming a sexual object against my will and having this bizarre relationship with that sudden sexualisation and objectification; this, 'Don't look at me/Look at me' dynamic that affects all of your relationships with your male peers. And I was a total tomboy growing up, so when that happened I felt somehow betrayed by my body for becoming an object that was for men to look at, not for me to utilise."
The director admits that she fell prey to t0 the notion that a woman's worth lies in her beauty, not in her voice, and it affected her career path for many years. "When I was very young, I used to be confident in my ability as a writer and photographer. But after adolescence, I went into acting, because it seemed easier to just become a mouthpiece for someone else's words than to fight for my own work, which I think is common. Really, in terms of the ramifications of this pyscho-emotionally, I'm still trying to hash it all out!"

60 Minutes is an American television news program created in 1968. Don Hewitt created the program and set it apart by using a unique style of reporter-centered investigation. In 2002, 60 Minutes was ranked No. 6 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time.[1]
Contents |
Broadcast history[edit]
Early years[edit]
The show pioneered many of the most important investigative journalism procedures and techniques, including re-editing interviews, hidden cameras, and "gotcha journalism" visits to the home or office of an investigative subject.[3] Imitators sprang up in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom during the 1970s, as well as on local television news.[3]
Initially, 60 Minutes aired as a bi-weekly show hosted by Harry Reasoner and Mike Wallace, debuting on September 24, 1968, and alternating weeks with other CBS News productions on Tuesday evenings at 10:00 p.m. The first edition, described by Reasoner in the opening as a "kind of a magazine for television," featured the following segments:
- A look inside the headquarter suites of presidential candidates Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey during their respective parties' national conventions that summer;
- Commentary by European writers Malcolm Muggeridge, Peter von Zahn, and Luigi Barzini, Jr. on the American electoral system;
- A commentary by political columnist Art Buchwald;
- An interview with then-Attorney General Ramsey Clark about police brutality;
- An abbreviated version of an Academy Award-winning short film by Saul Bass, Why Man Creates; and
- A meditation by Wallace and Reasoner on the relation between perception and reality. Wallace said that the show aimed to "reflect reality".
The first "magazine-cover" chroma key was a photo of two helmeted policemen (for the Clark interview segment). Wallace and Reasoner sat in chairs on opposite sides of the set, which had a cream-colored backdrop; the more famous black backdrop (which is still used as of 2011) did not appear until the following year. The logo was in Helvetica type with the word "Minutes" spelled in all lower-case letters; the logo most associated with the show did not appear until about 1974. Further, to extend the magazine motif, the producers added a "Vol. xx, No. xx" to the title display on the chroma key; that was seen until about 1971. The trademark stopwatch, however, did not appear on the inaugural broadcast; it would not debut until several episodes later. Alpo dog food was the sole sponsor of the first program.[4][5]
Hewitt, who had been a producer of the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite, sought out Wallace as a stylistic contrast to Reasoner.[6] According to one historian of the show, the idea of the format was to make the hosts the reporters, to always feature stories that were of national importance but focused upon individuals involved with, or in conflict with, those issues, and to limit the reports' airtime to around thirteen minutes.[7] However, the initial season was troubled by lack of network confidence, as the show did not garner ratings much higher than that of other CBS News documentaries. As a rule, during that era, news programming during prime time lost money; networks mainly scheduled public affairs programs in prime time in order to bolster the prestige of their news departments, and thus boost ratings for the regular evening newscasts, which were seen by far more people than documentaries and the like. 60 Minutes struggled under that stigma during its first three years. Changes to 60 Minutes came fairly early in the program's history. When Reasoner left CBS to co-anchor ABC's evening newscast (he would return to CBS and the show in 1978), Morley Safer joined the team in 1970, and he took over Reasoner's duties of reporting less aggressive stories. However, when Richard Nixon began targeting press access and reporting, even Safer, formerly the CBS News bureau head in Saigon and London, began to do "hard" investigative reports, and during the 1970–71 season alone 60 Minutes reported on cluster bombs, the South Vietnamese Army, draft dodgers, Nigeria, the Middle East, and Northern Ireland.[8]
"Point/Counterpoint" segment[edit]
In 1971, the "Point/Counterpoint" segment was introduced, featuring James J. Kilpatrick and Nicholas von Hoffman (later Shana Alexander), a three-minute debate between spokespeople for the political right and left, respectively. This segment pioneered a format that would later be adapted by CNN for its Crossfire show. This ran until 1979, when Andy Rooney, whose commentaries were already alternating with the debate segment since late 1978, replaced it. Rooney remained with the program as a regular until his last show on October 2, 2011.
Effects from the Prime Time Access Rule[edit]
By 1971, the FCC introduced the Prime Time Access Rule, which freed local network affiliates in the top 50 markets (in practice, the entire network) to take a half hour of prime time from the networks on Mondays through Saturdays and one full hour on Sundays. Because nearly all affiliates found production costs for the FCC's intended goal of increased public affairs programming very high and the ratings (thus advertising revenues) low, making it mostly unprofitable, the FCC created an exception for network-authored news and public affairs. After a six-month hiatus in late 1971, CBS thus found a prime place for 60 Minutes in a portion of that displaced time, 6–7 p.m. (Eastern time; 5–6 Central) on Sundays, in January 1972.[8]
This proved somewhat less than satisfactory, however, because in order to accommodate CBS' telecasts of late afternoon National Football League games, 60 Minutes went on hiatus during the fall from 1972 to 1975 (and the summer of 1972). This took place because football telecasts were protected contractually from interruptions in the wake of the infamous "Heidi Bowl" incident on NBC in November 1968. Despite the irregular scheduling, the program's hard-hitting reports attracted a steadily growing audience, particularly during the waning days of the Vietnam War and the gripping events of the Watergate scandal; at that time, few if any other major-network news shows did in-depth investigative reporting to the degree carried out by 60 Minutes. Eventually, during the summers of 1973 through 1975, CBS did allow the show back onto the prime time schedule proper, on Fridays in 1973 and Sundays the two years thereafter, as a replacement for the regular season's program.
It was only when the FCC returned an hour to the networks on Sundays (for children's/family or news programming), taken away from them four years earlier, in a 1975 amendment to the Access Rule that CBS finally found a viable permanent timeslot for 60 Minutes. When a family-oriented drama, Three for the Road, ended after a 12-week run in the fall, the newsmagazine took its place at 7/6 p.m. on 7 December. It has aired at that time since, for 36 years, making 60 Minutes not only the longest-running prime time program currently in production, but also the television program (excluding daily programs such as evening newscasts or breakfast shows) broadcasting for the longest length of time at a single time period each week in U.S. television history.[citation needed]
This move, and the addition of then-White House correspondent Dan Rather to the reporting team, made the program into a strong ratings hit and, eventually, a general cultural phenomenon. This was no less than a stunning reversal of the previously poor ratings performances of documentary programs on network television, as mentioned above. By 1976, 60 Minutes became the top-rated show on Sunday nights in the U.S. By 1979, it had achieved the number-one Nielsen rating for all television programs, unheard of before for a news broadcast in prime time. This success translated into great profits for CBS; advertising rates went from $17,000 per thirty seconds in 1975 to $175,000 in 1982.[9]
The program sometimes does not start until after 7 pm, due largely to CBS's live broadcast of NFL games. At the conclusion of an NFL game, 60 Minutes will air in its entirety. However, on the West Coast (and all of the Mountain time zone), because the actual end of the live games is much earlier in the afternoon in comparison to the Eastern and Central time zones, 60 Minutes is always able to start at its normal start time of 7 pm Pacific Time (6 pm Mountain Time), leaving affiliates free to broadcast local news, the CBS Evening News, and other local or syndicated programming leading up to 60 Minutes. The show's success has led CBS Sports to schedule the Masters Tournament, the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, and other events leading into 60 Minutes and the rest of the network's primetime lineup, thus (again, except on the West Coast) pre-empting the Sunday editions of the CBS Evening News and affiliates' local newscasts.[citation needed]
Pre-emptions since 1978[edit]
The program has rarely been pre-empted since 1978. Two notable pre-emptions occurred in 1976 and 1977, to make room for the annual telecast of The Wizard of Oz, which had recently returned to CBS after having been shown on NBC for eight years. However, CBS would, in later years, schedule the film so that it would no longer pre-empt 60 Minutes. Another exception is anytime CBS airs the Super Bowl or since 2003, alternating years where the AFC Championship Game has the 6:30 pm Eastern start time, which is played into prime-time and followed by a special lead-out program.[citation needed]
Radio broadcast and Internet distribution[edit]
60 Minutes is also aired via CBS Radio on several of their radio stations at the same time as the television broadcast (in each station's own local market), such as WCBS in New York, KNX in Los Angeles, WBBM in Chicago, WWJ in Detroit, KCBS in San Francisco, and other stations owned by CBS. An audio version of the full show without advertising is also distributed via podcast and the iTunes Store, beginning with the 23 September 2007 broadcast.[10] The program's video also streams several hours after broadcast on CBSNews.com and CBS Interactive property CNET TV.

60 Minutes consists of three long-form news stories, without superimposed graphics. There is a commercial break between two stories. The stories are introduced from a set with a backdrop resembling pages from a magazine story on the same topic. The show undertakes its own investigations and follows up on investigations instigated by national newspapers and other sources.
Reporting tone[edit]
60 Minutes blends the probing journalism of the seminal 1950s CBS series See It Now with Edward R. Murrow (a show for which Hewitt was the director its first few years) and the personality profiles of another Murrow program, Person to Person. In Hewitt's own words, 60 Minutes blends "higher Murrow" and "lower Murrow".[citation needed]
"Point/Counterpoint" segment[edit]
For most of the 1970s, the program included Point/Counterpoint, in which a liberal and a conservative commentator debated a particular issue. This segment originally featured James J. Kilpatrick representing the conservative side and Nicholas von Hoffman for the liberal, with Shana Alexander taking over for von Hoffman after he departed in 1974. The segment was an innovation that caught the public imagination as a live version of competing editorials. Point/Counterpoint was also lampooned by the NBC comedy series Saturday Night Live, which featured Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd as debaters, with Aykroyd typically beginning his remarks with, "Jane, you ignorant slut"; in the motion picture Airplane!, in which the faux Kilpatrick argues in favor of the plane crashing; and in the earlier sketch comedy film, The Kentucky Fried Movie, where the segment was called "Count/Pointercount". A similar concept was revived briefly in March 2003, this time featuring Bob Dole and Bill Clinton, former opponents in the 1996 presidential election. The pair agreed to do 10 segments, called "Clinton/Dole" and "Dole/Clinton" in alternating weeks, but did not continue into the fall television season. Reports indicated that the segments were considered too gentlemanly, in the style of the earlier "Point/Counterpoint", and lacked the feistiness of Crossfire.[11]
Andy Rooney segment[edit]
From 1978 to 2011, the show usually ended with a (usually light-hearted and humorous) commentary by Andy Rooney expounding on topics of wildly varying import, ranging from international politics, to economics, and to personal philosophy on every-day life. One recurring topic was measuring the amount of coffee in coffee cans.[12]
Rooney's pieces, particularly one in which he referred to actor Mel Gibson as a "wacko," on occasion led to complaints from viewers. Rooney published several books documenting his contributions to the program, the best known of which are probably Years Of Minutes and A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney. Rooney retired from 60 Minutes, delivering his final commentary on October 2, 2011. It was his 1,097th commentary over his 34-year career on the program. He died one month later, on November 4, 2011.
Opening sequence[edit]
The opening sequence features a 60 Minutes "magazine cover" with the show's trademark, an Aristo stopwatch, intercut with preview clips of the episode's stories. The sequence ends with each of the current correspondents and hosts introducing themselves. The last host who appears then currently says, "Those stories tonight on 60 Minutes". When Rooney was a prominent fixture, the final line was "Those stories and Andy Rooney, tonight on 60 Minutes". Before that, and whenever Rooney did not appear, the final line was "Those stories and more, tonight on 60 Minutes".
60 Minutes was the first, and remains the only, regularly scheduled program in the U.S. to never have used theme music. The only "theme" is the ticking of the stopwatch, which counts off each of the broadcast's titular sixty minutes, starting from zero at the beginning of each show. It is seen during the opening title credits, before each commercial break, and at the tail-end of the closing credits, and each time it appears it displays (within reasonable accuracy) the elapsed time of the episode to that point.
On October 29, 2006, the opening sequence changed from a black background to white. The black background had been used for over a decade. Also, the gray background for the Aristo stopwatch in the "cover" changed to red, the color for the title text changed to white and the stopwatch itself changed from its thirty-one year-old diagonal position to an upright position.[citation needed]
Web content[edit]
Videos and transcripts of the show, as well as clips that did not make it to the broadcast are available on the show's web site. In September 2010, the show launched a web site called "Sixty Minutes Overtime", in which stories broadcast on the air are discussed in further detail.[13]
iPad content[edit]
CBS has launched a "60 Minutes for iPad" app that allows users to watch 60 Minutes on an iPad and access some of the show's archival footage.

Ratings and recognition[edit]
Based on ratings, 60 Minutes is the most successful broadcast in U.S. television history, since it was moved into its present timeslot in 1975. For five of its seasons it has been that year's top program, a feat matched by the sitcoms All in the Family and The Cosby Show, and surpassed only by reality TV show American Idol, which has been the No. 1 show for six consecutive seasons. 60 Minutes was a top ten show for 23 seasons in a row (1977–2000), an unsurpassed record.[18]
60 Minutes first broke into the Ratings Top 20 during the 1976–77 season. The following season it was the fourth-most-watched show, and by 1979–80, it was the number one show.[18] During the 21st century it remains among the top 20 programs in the Nielsen ratings, and the highest-rated news magazine.[19]
Emmy Awards[edit]
As of September 26, 2011, 60 Minutes had won a total of 95 Emmy Awards,[18] a record unsurpassed by any primetime show on any network. [18][20]
Peabody Awards[edit]
The show won Peabody Awards for the segments "All in the Family", an investigation into abuses by government and military contractors; "The CIA's Cocaine", which uncovered CIA involvement in drug smuggling; "Friendly Fire", a report on incidents of friendly fire in the Gulf War; and "Duke Rape Suspects Speak Out", the first interviews with the suspects in the 2006 Duke University lacrosse case and "The Killings in Haditha", an investigation into the killing of Iraqi civilians by U.S. Marines.[citation needed]
Other awards[edit]
The show received an Investigative Reporter and Editor medal for their segment "The Osprey", documenting a Marine cover-up of deadly flaws in the V-22 Osprey aircraft.[citation needed]
Impact on innocent victims[edit]
In 1983, a report by Morley Safer, "Lenell Geter's in Jail", helped exonerate a Texas man who was wrongly convicted and imprisoned for armed robbery.[citation needed]
Record of longest running show[edit]
The show currently holds the record for the longest continuously running program of any genre scheduled during American network prime time; it has aired at 7 pm Eastern Time Sundays since December 7, 1975. The longer-running Meet the Press has also aired in prime time, but currently airs during the daytime, as it has for most of its history. The Walt Disney anthology television series, which premiered in 1954, and the Hallmark Hall of Fame, which has aired since 1951, have aired longer, but none of them has aired in prime time continually, as 60 Minutes has done.[citation needed]
The show has been praised for landmark journalism and received many awards. However, it has also become embroiled in some controversy, including:
Unintended acceleration[edit]
On 23 November 1986, 60 Minutes aired a segment greenlit by Hewitt, concerning the Audi 5000 automobile, a popular German luxury car. The story covered a supposed problem of "unintended acceleration" when the brake pedal was pushed, with emotional interviews with six people who sued Audi (unsuccessfully) after they crashed their cars, including one woman whose six-year-old boy had been killed. Footage was shown of an Audi 5000 with the accelerator moving down on its own, accelerating the car, after an expert witness employed by one of the plaintiffs modified it with a concealed device to cause it to do so.[21] Independent investigators concluded this was most likely due to driver incompetence, where the driver let their foot slip off the brake and onto the accelerator. Tests by Audi and independent journalists showed that even with the throttle wide open, the car would simply stall if the brakes were actually being used.[22]
The incident devastated Audi sales in the United States, which did not rebound for 15 years. The initial incidents which prompted the report were found by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada to have been attributable to operator error, where car owners had depressed the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal. CBS issued a partial retraction, without acknowledging the test results of involved government agencies.[23] Years later, Dateline NBC, a rival to 60 Minutes, was found guilty of similar tactics regarding the fuel tank integrity of General Motors pickup trucks.[24]
In February 1989, 60 Minutes aired a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council claiming that the use of daminozide (Alar) on apples presented an unacceptably high health risk to consumers. Apple sales dropped and CBS was sued unsuccessfully by apple growers.[25] Alar was subsequently banned for use on food crops in the U.S. by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Timothy McVeigh[edit]
On 12 March 2000, 60 Minutes aired an interview with Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh. At the time, McVeigh had already been convicted and sentenced to death for the bombing and subsequent deaths of 168 people. On the program McVeigh was given the opportunity to vent against the government.[26] Following the program, a federal policy called the Special Confinement Unit Media Policy was enacted prohibiting face-to-face interviews with death row inmates.[27] A federal inmate challenged the policy in Hammer v. Ashcroft, under which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit upheld the prison policy. In March 2010, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in the case, and the policy limiting media access to death row inmates remains in place. CBS refuses to show the entire interview, and has stated no reasons.[28]
Werner Erhard[edit]
On March 3, 1991, 60 Minutes broadcast "Werner Erhard", which dealt with controversies involving Werner Erhard's personal and business life. One year after the 60 Minutes piece aired, Erhard filed a lawsuit against CBS, claiming that the broadcast contained several "false, misleading and defamatory" statements about Erhard. One month after filing the lawsuit, Erhard filed for dismissal.[29] Erhard later told Larry King in an interview that he dropped the suit after receiving legal advice telling him that in order to win it, it would not be sufficient to prove that CBS knew the allegations were false, but that he would also need to prove that CBS acted with malice.[30] Because of factual inaccuracies, the segment was later removed by CBS from its archives, with this disclaimer: "This segment has been deleted at the request of CBS News for legal or copyright reasons."[31]
Brown and Williamson[edit]
In 1995, former Brown & Williamson Vice President for Research and Development Jeffrey Wigand provided information to 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman that B&W had systematically hidden the health risks of their cigarettes. (See transcription.) Furthermore, it was alleged that B&W had introduced foreign agents (fiberglass, ammonia, etc.) with the intent of enhancing the effect of nicotine. Bergman began to produce a piece based upon the information, but ran into opposition from Don Hewitt who, along with CBS lawyers, feared a billion dollar lawsuit from Brown and Williamson for tortious interference for encouraging Wigand to violate his nondisclosure agreement. A number of people in CBS would benefit from a sale of CBS to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, including the head of CBS lawyers and CBS News. Also, because of the interview, the son of CBS President Laurence Tisch (who also controlled Lorillard Tobacco) was among the people from the big tobacco companies at risk of being caught having committed perjury. Due to Hewitt's hesitation, The Wall Street Journal instead broke Wigand's story. The 60 Minutes piece was eventually aired with substantially altered content and minus some of the most damning evidence against B&W. The exposé of the incident was published in an article in Vanity Fair by Marie Brenner, entitled "The Man Who Knew Too Much".[32]
The New York Times wrote: "the traditions of Edward R. Murrow were diluted in the process,"[33] though the newspaper revised the quote slightly, suggesting that 60 Minutes and CBS had "betrayed the legacy of Edward R. Murrow". The incident was turned into a seven-times Oscar-nominated feature film entitled The Insider, directed by Michael Mann and starring Russell Crowe as Wigand, Al Pacino as Bergman, and Christopher Plummer as Mike Wallace. Wallace denounced the portrayal of him as inaccurate to his stance on the issue.[citation needed]
U.S. Customs Service[edit]
60 Minutes alleged in 1997 that agents of the U.S. Customs Service ignored drug trafficking across the Mexico – United States border at San Diego.[34] The only evidence was a memorandum apparently written by Rudy Camacho, who was the head of the San Diego branch office. Based on this memo, CBS alleged that Camacho had allowed trucks belonging to a particular firm to cross the border unimpeded. Mike Horner, a former Customs Service employee, had passed the memos on to 60 Minutes, and even provided a copy with an official stamp. Camacho was not consulted about the piece, and his career was devastated in the immediate term as his own department placed suspicion on him. In the end, it turned out that Horner had forged the documents as an act of revenge for his treatment within the Customs Service. He sued CBS and settled for an undisclosed amount of money in damages. Hewitt was forced to issue an on-air retraction.[35]
Kennewick man[edit]
A legal battle between archaeologists and the Umatilla tribe over the remains of a skeleton, nicknamed Kennewick Man, was reported on by 60 Minutes (October 25, 1998), to which the Umatilla tribe reacted negatively. The tribe considered the segment heavily biased in favor of the scientists, cutting out important arguments, such as explanations of Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.[36] The report focused heavily on the racial politics of the controversy and also added inflammatory arguments, such as questioning the legitimacy of Native American sovereignty[37] – much of the racial focus of the segment was later reported to have been either unfounded and/or misinterpreted.[38]
Viacom/CBS cross-promotion[edit]
In recent years, the show has been accused of promoting books, films, and interviews with celebrities who are published or promoted by sister businesses in the Viacom media conglomerate (2000–2005) and publisher Simon & Schuster (which remains a part of CBS Corporation after the 2005 CBS/Viacom split), without disclosing the journalistic conflict-of-interest to viewers.[39]
"The Internet Is Infected" episode and the false hacker photo[edit]
In the episode "The Internet Is Infected" (March 29, 2009), SecureWorks' Don Jackson, a data protection professional, is interviewed. Jackson himself declares in the program that: "A part of my job is to know the enemy". However, during the interview, Jackson showed a photo of Finnish upper-level comprehensive school pupils and misidentified them as Russian hackers.[40] In the photo, one of the children is wearing a jacket with the Coat of Arms of Finland on it. Another one is wearing a cap which clearly has the logo of Karjala, a Finnish brand of beer, on it. The principal of the school in Taivalkoski confirmed that the photo was taken about five years ago at the school.[41]
The photo's exact origins are unknown, but it is widely known in Finland, having been originally posted to a Finnish social networking site, IRC-Galleria, in the early 2000s. It spread all over Finnish internet communities, and even originated a couple of patriotically titled (but intentionally misspelled) mock sites.[41][42] 60 Minutes did issue a correction and on-air apology.[when?]
Killian Documents Controversy[edit]
The Killian documents controversy (also referred to as Memogate or Rathergate) involved six documents critical of President George W. Bush's service in the Air National Guard in 1972–73. Four of these documents were presented as authentic in a 60 Minutes Wednesday broadcast aired by CBS on September 8, 2004, less than two months before the 2004 Presidential Election, but it was later found that CBS had failed to authenticate the documents. Subsequently, several typewriter and typography experts concluded the documents are forgeries, as have some media sources. No forensic document examiners or typography experts authenticated the documents, which may not be possible without original documents. The provider of the documents, Lt. Col. Bill Burkett, claimed to have burned the originals after faxing copies to CBS.[citation needed]
Spin offs[edit]
The main 60 Minutes show has created a number of spin offs over the years.
30 Minutes[edit]
This newsmagazine was patterned after 60 Minutes and it was aimed at children. It aired as the final program in CBS's Saturday morning lineup from 1978–1982. It was hosted by Christopher Glenn (who also was the voice over the min program In the News and was an anchor on the CBS Radio Network), along with Betsy Aaron (1978–1980) and Betty Ann Bowser (1980–1982)
60 Minutes More[edit]
60 Minutes More was a spin off that ran for a single television season during 1996 and 1997. The episodes featured popular stories from the past that were expanded with updates on the original story. Each episode featured three of these segments.[43]
60 Minutes II[edit]
In 1999, a second edition of 60 Minutes was started in the U.S., called 60 Minutes II. This edition was later renamed 60 Minutes by CBS for the fall of 2004 in an effort to sell it as a high-quality program, since some had sarcastically referred to it as 60 Minutes, Jr. CBS News president Andrew Heyward said, "The Roman numeral II created some confusion on the part of the viewers and suggested a watered-down version".[44] However, a widely known controversy which came to be known as "Rathergate", regarding a report that aired 8 September 2004, caused another name change. The show was renamed 60 Minutes Wednesday both to differentiate itself and to avoid tarnishing the Sunday edition, as the editions were editorially independent from one another. The show reverted to its original title with Roman numerals on July 8, 2005, when the show moved to a Friday night 8 pm ET time slot to finish its run. The show's final broadcast was on September 2, 2005.
60 Minutes on CNBC[edit]
In 2011, CNBC started airing a 60 Minutes spin-off of its own, called 60 Minutes on CNBC. Hosted by Lesley Stahl and Steve Kroft, it airs updated business reports from the original show and offers footage that the original broadcasts didn't have.
60 Minutes of Sports[edit]
CBS started to produce a sports-themed version of 60 Minutes for corporate sister Showtime beginning in January 2013. The show, titled 60 Minutes Sports, includes two original segments plus a classic interview from the show's archives. Personalities from CBS Sports join the 60 Minutes team in contributing.[45]
25th anniversary edition[edit]
For the 60 Minutes 25th anniversary in 1993, Charles Kuralt interviewed Don Hewitt, the active correspondents, some former correspondents, and revisited notable stories and celebrities.
International versions[edit]
The Australian version of 60 Minutes premiered on 11 February 1979. It still airs each Sunday night at 7:30 pm on the Nine Network and affiliates.
Reporter Richard Carleton suffered a heart attack on May 7, 2006. He asked a question at a news conference for the Beaconsfield Mine collapse, then walked out and suffered cardiac arrest. Paramedics tried to revive him for 20 minutes until an ambulance arrived, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Although they have the rights to the format, as of 2007 they do not have rights to the US stories. Nevertheless, they often air them by subleasing them from Network Ten. In 1980, 60 Minutes won a Logie Award for their investigation of lethal abuses at the Chelmsford psychiatric hospital in Sydney.[citation needed]
In the mid-1980s, an edited version (approx. 30 minutes in length) of the U.S. broadcast edition of 60 Minutes was shown for a time on West German television. This version retained the English-language soundtrack of the original, but also featured German subtitles.
New Zealand[edit]
The New Zealand version of 60 Minutes has aired on national television since 1989, when it was shown on TV3. In 1992 the rights were acquired by TVNZ, who began broadcasting it in 1993. The network aired the program for nine years before dropping it in 2002 for its own program, entitled Sunday, which is currently the highest rating current affairs show broadcast on New Zealand television, followed by 20/20. 60 Minutes is broadcast by rival network TV3, which switched to the Sky Television owned Prime channel in 2013 when the contract changed hands.
The Portuguese version of 60 Minutes airs on SIC Notícias and is hosted by Mário Crespo.
The news program of National Broadcasting of Chile (TVN), the public TV network in that country, was named "60 minutos" (60 minutes) from 1975 to 1988, but the program had no accusations of any kind and no investigative reporting.

Walking underwater has never been easier or safer than with Sea trek so grab your swimsuit and get ready for the experience of a lifetime. Imagine exploring the underwater world and having your entire face and head remain completely dry by using a specially designed helmet and air supply system. Everyone from kids to adults can walk underwater to a depth of 25 feet to explore the beautiful underwater world.
A short transfer from the ship takes you to the Port of Palm pier where you will board a ferry for the ride across Spanish Lagoon to De Palm Island. Upon arrival, you will be greeted and receive a briefing on Sea trek and what to expect. No need to worry, this tour is great for swimmers and non-swimmers alike since no experience is required as you explore the ocean's depths with Sea Trek. Using a helmet that supplies oxygen and is connected via tubing that goes to the surface, you get weighed down a little so you don't float and that's it, within moments you will feel like you're starring in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It's so easy you can even wear your sunglasses if you want.
Once you are outfitted with your gear, you will be led into the water where your fun and exciting walk on the ocean floor begins. Delight in feeding the fish, see the famous Sunken Airplane and even have a seat at the Sea Trek Underwater Café.
After approximately 20-minutes exploring with your Sea Trek gear, you will return to the beach where you are free to avail yourself of the various amenities found on De Palm Island and the complimentary buffet. Sit back and relax as you soak up the sun on this beautiful beach before it's time to return to the ship in Oranjestad. This terrific and completely enjoyable tour is fun for everyone and will definitely be one of the great memories you'll have of your time in Aruba.
Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of activity and participants should be in good physical condition. It is not necessary to know how to swim. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests, guests with mobility concerns, recent back or neck injuries, heart conditions, epilepsy, diabetes, respiratory conditions or pregnant women. Flat, comfortable walking shoes or aqua socks, swim suits (clothing with metal objects is not allowed in the water park), towel, a change of clothing, sun cap, sunglasses, sunscreen and extra cash are suggested. Guests taking part in any water activities do so at their own risk and responsibility and will be required to sign a medical waiver before being allowed to take part in the tour. Minimum age to participate is 8 years of age and children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian. Lounge chairs are available at the beach and lockers are available for rent.

Akin Edges Out Brunner In Survey of Influential Republicans
The inaugural Red Arch survey asked more than 50 influential Republicans questions tied to the GOP primary.
If the election were held today, political insiders in Missouri say U.S. Representative Todd Akin (R-Wildwood) would narrowly edge businessman John Brunner for their support for the Republican nomination to face U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill. That's the main finding of the inaugural Red Arch survey conducted by Missouri Patch sites.
More than 50 influential Republicans, primarily from the St. Louis area, were asked using an automated survey tool what they thought about a variety of questions relating to the U.S. Senate primary race. Thirty-three responses were collected.
A majority (51.5 percent) of respondents said they would back Rep. Akin over Brunner (45.5 percent) if the election were held today. Former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman received no support. Three percent selected "other."
The survey showed no clear indication of which candidate they believed has the support of the majority of the Tea Party movement. A narrow plurality (40.6 percent) said they felt Rep. Akin had the movement's backing, while 37.5 percent chose Brunner. Of the respondents, 21.9 percent listed Steelman.
So far in the campaign, one Tea Party group, FreedomWorks, officially has backed Brunner, while Steelman has snagged the endorsement of the Tea Party Express. Rep. Akin has the endorsement of Tea Party Caucus founder and former Presidential hopeful Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-Minn).
A clear-cut majority of respondents (57.6 percent) said Tea Party support will not be a significant factor in the minds of voters in August.
Another question that failed to clinch a clear majority is the one asking for the single issue that should best distinguish any Republican challenger from Claire McCaskill in November. Fourteen respondents (42.4 percent) said the issue was Job Growth/Creation, while 13 respondents (39.4) said Healthcare. The remaining 18.2 percent listed Government Regulation.
The Red Arch/Blue Arch Survey
Patch political surveys are not a scientific random sample of any larger population, but rather an effort to listen to a swath of influential local Republican and Democratic activists, party leaders and elected officials in Missouri. All of these individuals have agreed to participate in the surveys, although not all responded to this week's questions. Interviews for this poll were conducted between July 9 and July 13, 2012.
Patch will be conducting Red Arch and Blue Arch surveys throughout 2012 in hopes of determining the true sentiment of conservatives, liberals and moderates on the ground in Missouri.
If you are an activist, party leader or elected official and would like to take part in a bi-weekly survey that lasts just a few minutes, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

here is the problem with your survery....you choose influential republicans...that is the problem...they are not the voice...the common man is......and sarah steelman receives no support...that is the reason I would favor her....if the republican establishment doesnt want her...that tells me ...she doesnt follow the "line"...we have had enough of the establishment...look at the mess we are in ...at every level....who do you vote for....the reason for the tea party or any third party.....a do nothing congress...a do nothing president....dont forget....obama had a democrat controlled senate and house his first two years....nothing happened except bail outs...and the worst...bailing out banks......the absurdity of it all.......one thing about sara steelman...she is for term limits at all levels....here here...long overdue.....and no pension for those who serve in an elected capacity.....absolutely.....no elected public official should be on any type of pension.....first of all...they should only serve two terms period......establishment republicans.....just as bad as establishment democrats...they are really one in the same......
Philip Scherry

I know that I support Brunner just from the perspective he has not been in politics for many years, and has run a very successful business.
11:08 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
Who are these "influential Republicans?" I really don't put much credence in a poll that doesn't release its methodology.
Gregg Palermo
11:51 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
We were actually very clear about our methodology in that we don't pretend these are scientific. A list of who was polled was inadvertently deleted in an earlier version and will be added shortly.
Kevin Sheely
12:21 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
What Republican establishment? I've been paying close attention and haven't heard jack out of any 'establishment'. Steelman receives no support because she is a terrible speaker. I've heard she is a very smart lady but in front of an audience or a camera she comes off looking and sounding like an amateur with nothing much to say beyond platitudes. Brunner has at least said some good things and enlivened the debate with some straight talk which is welcome and refreshing, but it's easy for him to sound good, the man has no public record. He's probably made a mistake or two in the past 20 years, but how would we ever know about it?
Todd Akin, on the other hand, is quite serious, completely prepared and ready to lead. He gave up a very safe Congressional seat not because he has a desire for more power, but rather because he has a desire to serve. Primary voters know this. He will defeat Claire McCaskill. Missouri Republicans are complacent, we are acting like this one's already in the bag, and it's not. Claire McCaskill is a wily veteran with a fat checkbook and lots of friends. We can't afford to send a rookie or an amateur to face her in the general election.
12:33 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
What is the purpose of doing unscientific polls? It seems kind of like doing unscientific clinical trials.
Gregg Palermo
12:41 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
We've updated the story to reflect our participants. We think this is a worthwhile exercise that helps shine a different spotlight on the campaign season.
Tom Martz
7:21 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
It is a worthwhile exercise because it does give us common folk a means to know who we shouldn't be supporting.
Tom Maher
5:05 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
Interesting characterizations by Mr. Sheely:
Ms. McCaskill is "a wily veteran with a fat checkbook" whereas Mr. Akin has "a desire to serve."
At least McCaskill votes in her proper (and legal) district, whereas Akin did not - and repeatedly. How "serious and prepared" is that? Of course, we have yet to discover where his wife or at-home voting age children voted. I DO wonder why...
6:27 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
The professional political class. If they like Akin, I am voting for Brunner.
Donna Maggard
9:43 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
I prefer Brunner... He did very well in the televised debate and has business experience.
Kevin Sheely
1:04 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Honestly when I said Claire McCaskill is a wily veteran with a fat checkbook I meant it as a compliment. People on our side keep calling her toast, air Claire, one-and-done ObamaClaire-has-no-chance and so forth...and maybe that's true. Still, why would we choose to send a rookie up against her? Nothing against hand sanitizer, but Akin sold computers for IBM then managed a steel mill, sounds kinda like business experience to me. He has a degree in theology and studies the bible every day, which serves to keep a person humble. Mr. Brunner could use a dose of humility. With all respect, he should serve a few terms in the STATE senate then get back to us.
Tom Maher
2:55 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Well. it would seem then that both Akin and Brunner have business experience - true? If it's good for Akin, then perforce it is good for Brunner, n'est-ce pas?
How a degree in theology and studying the Bible every day keeps one humble is beyond me. Obviously he brags on his "sent from God" opinion of himself at every opportunity to reinforce his standing with his particular demographic.
How ethical is it that he voted about 10 times in a precinct where he did not live? Was his spouse that "smart?"
Kevin Sheely
11:19 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Yes, yes, we're all very impressed you speak french...you really know how to reach out to us Republican primary voters. And I didn't go to bible college but my understanding is bible study reminds us of how little we truly know, that there are forces in the universe greater than ourselves, and we are all imperfect but by living the commandments we might emulate the words and deeds of Jesus.
As far as the voting issue, it's out there, it's fair game, although I suspect any primary voters who are really troubled would also be aware that Brunner oftentimes doesn't bother to vote at all.
Tom Maher
9:53 pm on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Actually, I don't speak French (capital "F", you know...) - but it seemed an appropriate phrase.
Wearing one's religion on one's sleeve and emphasizing how one keeps doing God's work in the political arena seems like more than a bit - how shall I phrase it - "Vote for me 'cause I love my Christian faith and that is all that matters." Of course, that would apply to ANY religion so used as a political recommendation.
As to Akin v. Brunner in their voting history - at least Brunner did not vote illegally and unethically - right?
And you are correct about GOP primary voters - those who favor Akin could care less about his voting peccadilloes; he is an Xtian and he loves 'Murrica - what more could one want? Wait - ain't Brunner an Xtian and former military man? What's a body to do?

Akin does not appear to be nearly as corruptible as many "successful businessmen" who head to Washington. He has been around a while and doesn't seem to have had (m)any accusations like most others. With Brunner "outsider" to me says CMcC gonna find something he did and use it against him.

Right, instead, he will just continue to vote for more spending, continued re-authorizations of the Patriot act until my children have grandchildren, who can longingly remember their grandfather, who was indefinitely detained under Section 1021 of the NDAA 2012 because he actually thought that the Constitution was the Supreme Law of the land. The NDAA 2012 is the act that Akin voted to authorize and even rose to "vehemently support" during debate. If he does not understand that those 2 pieces of legislation are about as much of an affront to the intent of the Founders as could be created, he certainly cannot be counted on to understand anything else. Brunner for US Senate all the way.

Unscientfic polls are journalism's "feel-good-hey-look-we're-in-touch-with-you." They're so far off the mark most of the time they're a waste of space and time. And when someone's time is wasted....click....

Thanks for reading this story, Scott, even if I strongly disagree with your premise. It's not a feel-good attempt to be in touch with you...it's about growing a community discussion in ways you're not seeing in other places.
