Description
Airdate: 03/16/08 Why do we sleep? Lesley Stahl visits sleep labs to find out, and learns that sleep is as essential to our health as nutrition and exercise. In fact, scientists are seeing a link between lack of sleep and serious health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. A good night’s sleep is also essential to memory, which is something college students should consider before their next all-nighter.

Patrick Bruel à son meilleur avec plusieurs invités. Le tournage HD est tout simplement fantastique.

I am the medical director of an accredited sleep disorders center and saw this “60 Minutes” segment when it originally aired in early 2008. I thought it was superb and wanted a copy to use as a patient education tool. I was thrilled when an assistant at “60 Minutes” directed me to Amazon to purchase this segment on DVD. This report accurately summarizes key knowledge regarding sleep and the effects of sleep deprivation and sleep loss. This is a message that needs to be heard by a broad public and it is very effectively presented. The sleep clinicians and scientists that are interviewed are among the most well respected and authoritative in the field.
I most highly recommend this DVD to anyone with sleep problems or who is interested in the role of sleep in health.

Andria, Sharon, Caroline and Jim Corr at the Royal Albert Hall on St. Patricks Day. The Corrs had enjoyed some recognition for their musical stylings worldwide, but had yet to enjoy the fame and fortune of other musical talent as they had not or could not break into the mainstream.
This concert was recorded live on the BBC at some risk, only a few knew of the Irish band. So there was even a question of how many seats would be left open and how the cameramen could make it look full. Second, how would a “conservative” London England crowd react? Would they react at all, other than clapping politely after every song?
This DVD captures one of the worlds greatest bands when they were still young, and you actually see them mature over the course of the 85 minute show. What is really fun is seeing the Corrs taking over the crowd at every song. What starts as the obligatory applause at the beginning of the show, finally culminates with a cheering standing ovation and the Corrs returning for a two song encore feauturing “So young” and a unbelievable live performance of “Toss the Feathers”. Even the camera men get in on the act. The beginning of the show has a few camera cuts to different angles and shots but nothing compared to the end of the show. Cameras zoom in and out, great shots of Andria playing the Tin Whistle. Then a sharp cut to Caroline on the Drums. Close ups of Sharon on the Violin and through it all, Jim on the guitar and keyboard. The producers also had to see the crowd turning through the show, because by the Encore, they are showing people in the balconies and box seats clapping and dancing.
Not only is it a visual concert, but the music is beautifully spaced with the lighting and the song selection is spot on. This is a must have title for anyone who simply appreciates good music. If you are a fan of concert videos and you do not have this concert, your collection simply is not complete.
Mick Fleetwood makes an appearance on three songs, one of which is a re-make of “Dreams”. Mick says it all at the very end of the concert when he approaches the microphone, says something to Andria, then says to the crowd. “Let’s hear it for this fantastic band! Playing with PASSION!”.

I’ve watched this entire interview, from the points of view of the two Public Defenders, Dale Coventry and W. Jamie Kunz, and from the point of view of Alton Logan, who was allowed to rot in prison for 26 years for a crime he didn’t do.
Dale Coventry and W. Jamie Kunz were Public Defenders in Chicago that had proof that it was not Logan that murdered a guard at a Chicago McDonald’s back in the early 1980’s, it was another person, Andrew Wilson, whom they represented, that was already a cop-killer. Because of the lawyer-client privilege rules, they couldn’t tell the world what they knew.
So, they got a statement from Wilson in which Wilson admitted he was the trigger-man of the crime. And here’s the catch: the lawyers were not to reveal it until Wilson’s death. So the two lawyers of Wilson put it into a sealed envelope, placed it into a fireproof metal box owned by Dale Coventry, where it would stay until Wilson would die, whenever that would be. The lawyers would only reveal the information if Logan was to be sentenced to death, which he was spared by 2 critical votes in a 10-2 jury decision during his trial for the McDonald’s shooting.
Because of the document being put away, and Logan being spared the Death Penalty by those two votes at his trial, Alton Logan was, in effect, ‘put away’ from having a normal life for 26 years. Think of it: that time he could’ve used to get married, have children, see the birth of grandchildren, and be working towards retirement.
When Wilson finally died, the two lawyers of Wilson’s got the sealed envelope out of the fireproof box, and revealed it to the Cook County, Illinois authorities.
Postscript: after this episode of ’60 Minutes’ aired in 2008, Logan was finally released from prison after doing 26 years, and is currently suing (as I type this)Cook County, and infamous former Chicago police commander and rogue cop Jon Burge.
