Dancing With The Stars Results Show For 9/20/11

Dancing With The Stars Results for 9/20/11

By Sammi-T

Our Sponsor

Hello and welcome to Dancing With The Stars, THE RESULTS! Tonight, the first couple of the season is sent home…saying goodbye to the mirrorball trophy forever. The show opens with a pro dance to Lady Gaga’s Edge of Glory. Is it wrong how much I’ve missed these dances? The dance was choreographed by Lacey. Tom announces that the new members of the troupe will be introduced later.
Rob and Cheryl, Elisabetta and Val and Ricki and Derek are called to the stage first. We get a montage of their performances from last night before getting to their results.
Ricki and Derek: SAFE!
Elisabetta and Val: SAFE! (Holy delayed reaction Batman!)
Rob and Cheryl: IN JEOPARDY!
His picture is put on what may be the wall of shame. Everyone now knows he is in jeopardy.
Brooke talks to our two safe couples. Elisabetta thanks everyone and Val calls it a very pleasant surprise. They hope to impress with next week’s quickstep.
Ricki and Derek have the jive next week and joke about how she makes him nervous. He thinks she is dedicated and all around great.
Tom quips that Val only saw the end of Titanic because of the ‘I won’t let go’ comment.
Filler piece on everyone getting to know each other. It is actually quite cute.
Kym and Tony dance while Harry Conick Jr. sings. He reminds me of Frank Sinatra. I am falling in love! His voice is velvety and sexy. I’ve always loved him, but love him even more now. Can we get him for next season?
The next couples to find out their fates are Hope and Maks, Kristin and Mark and Metta and Peta.
Hope and Maks: SAFE!
Metta and Peta: IN JEOPARDY!
Kristin and Mark: SAFE!
The new troupe is introduced. Some old faces, some new but it went so fast I missed names!  Their performance is fun and exciting…I like this addition to the show.
Preview of Revenge…I can’t wait to see it, mostly because I am curious to see how it works as a series.
LMFAO perform Party Rock Anthem.  Mark and Lacey dance and even Bruno WTF Toniloni gets in on the action. (Tom’s words, not mine)
JR and Karina, Chaz and Lacey and Chynna and Tony come to the stage.
Chynna and Tony: SAFE!
JR and Karina: SAFE!
Chaz and Lacey: SAFE!
Look on Lacey’s face. Priceless. The love between the three couples and everyone ran up to them? Tearjerker moment. LOVE!
Brooke interviews the remaining three couples. Nancy’s kids were dancing all night like Mommy.  David was amazed about how happy and proud his daughter Coco was. Carson is ready to make his new costumes. They all head to the stage.
David and Kym: SAFE!
Nancy and Tristan: IN JEOPARDY!
Carson and Anna: SAFE!
Rob and Cheryl are called safe, leaving Metta and Peta and Nancy and Tristan in (not necessarily) the bottom two. Len gives them some words of wisdom before it is announced that the couple with the lowest overall scores and therefore leaving right now is…..Metta and Peta. I’m not surprised…only because he danced so early and kind of got lost in the shuffle. Metta gives Peta a shout out and thanks everyone at ABC. He says he had a great time and dances one last time with Peta.
Join us next week for our eleven remaining couples taking on the jive or quickstep. Goodnight!

dancing with the stars results

The Dancing With the Stars results from last night’s first elimination of the season were not at all surprising — not even to the eliminated celebrity. From the moment that Ron Artest (aka Metta World Peace) stepped on to the dance floor, you just knew it was not going to be good.
NBA player Ron Artest and partner Peta Murgatroyd just were not meant to make it past the first week on Dancing With the Stars. Oh, Peta was great and the consumate professional. Ron Artest, however, was like a log with wooden legs. He might ‘dance’ on the basketball court, but in the ballroom he is a dud.
The dancing pair’s cha cha routine scored only a lowly 14 points out of a potential 30 in the Dancing With the Stars results from the judges. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said the routine “was sexy, but wrong for all the technical reasons.” Rob Kardashian and Nancy Grace joined Ron Artest in the bottom three.
Artest, who oficially changed his name to Metta World Peace recently, was the first to admit he “didn’t really put in enough time and effor to go on” in the competition.
“I’m a clown. I think I was maybe having too much fun. But, you know, somebody had to go early and first. Somebody had to go,” he told Access Hollywood. “But I had a blast. The cast is great, all the dancers. I met new people, new personalities. I got a chance to experience a new thing.”
As for his winner prediction, Metta World Peace was ‘amazed’ by former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy star Carson Kressley. “I was happy to see Chaz [Bono] — Chaz did pretty good. He didn’t mess up. And then Nancy [Grace] did awesome, but Carson — he’s the total package.”

dancing with the stars

About the Show

Season 12 is a wrap and what a season it was! Before the dazzling finale, we were treated to many weeks of shoes flying, stars crying, pros stumbling and an ever-changing leaderboard! The hits kept coming (as did the misses) as the stars rehearsed hard and danced harder in pursuit of the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy.
Right out of the gate there were strong performances like Kirstie Alley's Cha Cha and Ralph Macchio's Foxtrot in Week One. Some routines were deemed not-so-hot, as 'Psycho' Mike Catherwood and Lacey Schwimmer found out as the first couple sent home. Hey, someone had to go, right?
Wendy Williams and Tony Dovolani's low scores put them on the short list for elimination and, sure enough, they were the next sent packing. Boxing champ Sugar Ray Leonard was knocked out (with Anna Trebunsakaya) in Week Four. Although Petra Nemcova may be a survivor, she and Dmitry Chaplin didn't survive Week Five.
In Week Six, wrestling superstar Chris Jericho brought some surprisingly elegant moves to the ballroom, but his Tango wasn't tough enough to keep him from being sent home fifth this season. Kendra Wilkinson followed him out the door the next week.
This left us with our Final Five: Chelsea Kane, Hines Ward, Kirstie Alley, Ralph Macchio and Romeo. Even though Romeo's dancing saw great improvement, he received his walking papers in Week Eight. And in Week Nine, we said goodbye to Karate Kid Ralph Macchio. And then there were three.
Chelsea Kane, Hines Ward and Kirstie Alley worked hard to make it to the finals. Chelsea suffered stinging commentary from the judges at times, but always remained upbeat and focused. Hines seemed to do well each and every week. Even if he didn't, you'd never have known it because of that infectious smile. And even though Kirstie suffered every mishap imaginable, she was stronger than ever heading into the finale. When all the judging and voting was done, it was Hines Ward and Kym Johnson who danced away with the Mirror Ball Trophy as the champs of Season 12. Congrats to them both!

Emmy winners: surprise hauls for Modern Family and Downton

The 1950s drama Mad Men and a firmly 21st century comedy, Modern Family, won the top drama and comedy prizes at the Emmy Awards, with the British period piece Downton Abbey enjoying unexpected success.
After failing to score in the categories for which it was nominated, Mad Men took the Emmy for best drama in a final-act cliffhanger.
Modern Family made the biggest haul in the comedy category, as well as the top comedy award.
Downton Abbey took four awards in total, including best miniseries, best director, and best actress for Maggie Smith. The show, whose second series started on ITV in Britain on Sunday night, has been a critical success on the US network PBS.
Oscar-winning actor Kate Winslet won her first Emmy, for her lead role in the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce. "I didn't think we were going to win anything!" Winslet said.
On a night of surprises that brought a slew of newcomers to the Emmy podium, Mad Men won best drama series for a fourth straight year but the waiting got tense as the 1960s advertising drama lost out in all the acting, writing and directing races.
"I did not think that was going to happen," creator Matthew Weiner said, accepting the best drama series trophy. Mad Men has gone home with just two Emmys – including one from last week's creative arts ceremony – even though it came into the awards show with 19 nominations.
"We were shut out, but then we also won this (best drama) award so it balances out. To me this is the prize that says people love what we are doing," Weiner said backstage.
The story was different for Modern Family. Along with its best comedy win, the ABC mockumentary about three assorted couples and their children brought first-time wins for Julie Bowen and her screen husband Ty Burrell in the supporting acting slots, and Emmys for directing and writing.
Creator Steve Levitan called the wins "an embarrassment of riches" while actor Ed O'Neill said: "It was better than the first time. To repeat is difficult. I am relieved."
"Welcome back to the Modern Family awards!" Emmy ceremony host Jane Lynch joked early in the evening.
Elsewhere, a host of new faces took home Emmys in a night that defied most predictions.
The little-seen but critically admired football drama Friday Night Lights won for best writing and its star Kyle Chandler beat favourites Jon Hamm and Steve Buscemi for best dramatic actor.
Melissa McCarthy won lead comedy actress at her first shot for the CBS romantic comedy Mike & Molly, in which she plays an overweight teacher.
Emmy rookie Peter Dinklage won for his turn as the clever but rude Tyrion in HBO's popular medieval fantasy series Game of Thrones, while Margo Martindale was an emotional first-time winner for her supporting actress role in the FX drama Justified. The Emmy came to the veteran actress after more than 20 years in the business.
Julianna Margulies, star of The Good Wife on CBS, won the race for best dramatic actress. Jim Parsons was a rare repeat winner for comedy The Big Bang Theory in a category that most pundits had thought would finally go to departing The Office star Steve Carell.
"I am really flabbergasted. I am more shocked this year," Parsons said backstage.
Fox musical comedy Glee - one of the most talked about shows of the last two years - won just two Emmys, both in creative arts categories, while HBO's lavish Boardwalk Empire won seven of its eight total Emmys in last week's technical awards section. Its only win on Sunday night went to director Martin Scorsese.
HBO was the biggest network winner with 19 Emmys, followed by 14 for PBS, 11 for CBS, nine for Fox, eight for ABC and six for NBC.
Among the show's highlights was a smiling and apparently sincere Charlie Sheen, on the comeback trail after months of erratic behaviour that resulted in his firing from CBS hit Two and A Half Men. He was a last-minute addition as a presenter.
"From the bottom of my heart I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season," Sheen said of his former program that previously this year he had sharply criticised.
American Idol – the most-watched show on US television for the past seven years – was left empty-handed again in the reality competition show race, which was won by long-running Emmy favourite The Amazing Race

Pay-per-view

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pay-per-view (PPV) provides a service by which a television audience can purchase events to view via private telecast. The broadcaster shows the event at the same time to everyone ordering it (as opposed to video-on-demand systems, which allow viewers to see recorded broadcasts at any time). Events can be purchased using an on-screen guide, an automated telephone system, or through a live customer service representative. Events often include feature films, sporting events and entertainment.

United States

The Zenith Phonevision system became the first pay-per-view system tested in the United States. Developed in 1951, it used telephone lines to take and receive orders as well as to de-scramble a broadcast signal. Phonevision field-tests ran for 90 days in Chicago. The system used IBM punched cards to de-scramble a signal broadcast during the broadcast station's "off-time". Both systems showed promise, but the FCC denied them permits.[1] One of the earliest pay-per-view systems on cable, the Optical Systems Channel 100, first entered service in 1972 in San Diego through Mission Cable[2] (acquired by Cox Communications) and TheaterVisioN, which operated out of Sarasota, Florida. These early systems quickly went out of business, as the cable industry adopted satellite technology and as flat-rate systems like Home Box Office became popular.
Boxing fans were first introduced to their sport on pay-per-view with the Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier fight "Thrilla In Manila", there was also another in 1980, when Roberto Duran defeated Sugar Ray Leonard. Cable companies offered the match for $10, and about 155,000 customers paid to watch the fight.[3]
A major pay-per-view event[citation needed] occurred on September 16, 1981, when Sugar Ray Leonard fought Thomas "Hitman" Hearns for the Welterweight Championship. Viacom Cablevision in Nashville, Tennessee, the first system to offer the event, sold over fifty percent of its subscribers for the fight.[citation needed] Leonard visited Nashville to promote the fight, and the event proved such a success that Viacom themed its annual report for that year around it.[citation needed] Viacom's Marketing Director was Pat Thompson who put together the fight and subsequently put together additional PPV fights, wrestling matches, and even a Broadway play.[citation needed]
After leaving Viacom, Thompson became head of Sports View and produced the first pay-per-view football game on October 16, 1983, when Tennessee played Alabama from Birmingham, Alabama.[citation needed] Sports View played a role in building pay-per-view networks[citation needed] and became the early pioneer in developing TigerVision for LSU, TideVision for Alabama, and UT Vol Seat for Tennessee. Sports View also produced the Ohio State-Michigan Football game on PPV in November 1983.
In 1985, the first U.S. cable channels devoted to pay-per-view, Viewer's Choice, Cable Video Store, First Choice, and Request TV began operation within days of each other.[citation needed] Viewer's Choice serviced both home satellite-dish and cable customers, while Request TV, though broadcasting to cable viewers, would not become available to dish-owners until the 1990s.[citation needed]
First Choice PPV was available on Rogers Cablesystems in the United States and Canada. When Paragon Cablesystems acquired the Rogers Cablesystems in San Antonio, Texas First Choice continued until 1996 when Time Warner Cable bought Paragon Cablesystems in San Antonio, Texas.
The term "pay-per-view" did not come into general use until the late 1980s[citation needed] when companies like iN DEMAND, HBO, and Showtime started using the system to show movies and some of their productions. In Demand would show movies, concerts, and other events, with live sporting events such as WrestleMania predominant. Prices ranging from $3.99 to $49.99, while HBO and Showtime, with their legs TVKO and SET Pay Per View, would offer championship boxing with prices ranging from $14.99 to $54.99.[citation needed]
ESPN has shown college football and basketball games on pay-per-view.[citation needed] The boxing undercard Latin Fury, shown on June 28, 2003, became ESPN's first boxing pay-per-view card and also the first pay-per-view boxing card held in Puerto Rico.[citation needed] Pay-per-view has provided a revenue stream for professional wrestling companies like World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ring of Honor (ROH) and Asistencia AsesorĂ­a y AdministraciĂłn.
In the United States pay-per-view broadcasters transmit without advertisements, unlike almost all other broadcasters.
Vince McMahon, the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, is considered by many as one of the icons of pay-per-view promotion. He owns the rights to payperview.com, which redirects to the WWE website.

Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Lyrics

Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Lyrics

Ooohh New York x2

Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
Noise was always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway

Even if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York!

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge

I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York!

One hand in the air for the big city,
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
http://www.elyricsworld.com/empire_state_of_mind_(part_ii)_lyrics_alicia_keys.html
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Now you're in New York!

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York!

Empire State Of Mind Lyrics

[Jay-Z]
yeah
Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn.
Now I'm down in Tribeca.
Right next to DeNiro
But I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra
And since I made it here
I can make it anywhere
(Yeah they love me everywhere)
I used to cop in Harlem
All of my Dominicanos (Hey yo)
Right there off of Broadway
Brought me back to that McDonalds
Took it to my stash spot
560 State Street
Catch me in the kitchen like Simmons whipping Pastry
Cruising down 8th street
Off-white Lexus
Driving so slow
(but BK, it's from Texas!!)
Me I'm out that BedStuy
Home of that boy Biggie
now I live on Billboard
and I brought my boys with me
Say what up to Ta-ta
Still sipping Mai Tais
Sitting courtside
Knicks and Nets give me high-5

Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,

Brigham Young University . Byu Organization and administration

Brigham Young University is a part of the Church Educational System of LDS Church. It is organized under a Board of Trustees, with the President of the Church (Thomas S. Monson as of 2011) as chairman. This board consists of the same people as Church Board of Education which oversees the entire Church Educational System, a pattern that has been in place since 1939. Before that BYU had a separate board of trustees that was subordinate to the Church Board of Education.[83] The President of BYU, currently Cecil O. Samuelson, works in cooperation with the board.[84]
The university operates under 11 colleges or schools, which collectively offer 194 bachelor's degree programs, 68 master's degree programs, 25 Ph.D. programs, and a Juris Doctor program.[85] BYU also manages some courses and majors through the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies[86] and "miscellaneous" college departments, including Undergraduate Education,[87] Graduate Studies,[88] Independent Study,[89] Continuing Education,[90] and the Honors Program.[91] BYU's Winter semester ends earlier than most universities in April since there is no Spring break, thus allowing students to pursue internships and other summer activities earlier.[92] A typical academic year is broken up into two semesters: Fall (September–December) and Winter (January–April), as well as two shorter terms during the summer months: Spring (May–June) and Summer (July–August)

Brigham Young University . Byu Ranking

For 2010, the U.S. News & World Report ranked BYU as #71 in the country overall.[47] The Princeton Review has ranked BYU the best value for college in 2007,[48] and its library is consistently ranked in the nation's top ten—#1 in 2004 and #4 in 2007.[49] BYU is also ranked #19 in the U.S. News and World Report's "Great Schools, Great Prices" lineup, and #12 in lowest student-incurred debt.[50] Due in part to the school's emphasis on undergraduate research, BYU is ranked #10 nationally for the number of students who go on to earn PhDs, #1 nationally for students who go on to dental school, #6 nationally for students who go on to law school, and #10 nationally for students who go on to medical school.[51] BYU is designated as a research university with high research activity by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.[52]
In 2009, the university's Marriott School of Management received a #5 ranking by BusinessWeek for its undergraduate programs,[53] and its MBA program was ranked by several sources: #22 ranking by BusinessWeek,[53] #16 by Forbes,[54] and #29 by U.S. News & World Report.[55] Among regional schools the MBA program was ranked #1 by The Wall Street Journal's most recent ranking (2007),[56] and it was ranked #92 among business schools worldwide in 2009 by Financial Times.[57] For 2009, the university's School of Accountancy, which is housed within the Marriott School, received two #3 rankings for its undergraduate program—one by Public Accounting Report and the other by U.S. News & World Report.[58][59] The same two reporting agencies also ranked the school's MAcc program #3 and #8 in the nation, respectively

Brigham Young University . Byu Early Days

Brigham Young University's origin can be traced back to 1862 when a man named Warren Dusenberry started a Provo school in a prominent adobe building called Cluff Hall, which was located in the northeast corner of 200 East and 200 North.[18] On October 16, 1875, Brigham Young, then President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, personally purchased the Lewis Building after previously hinting that a school would be built in Draper, Utah in 1867.[19] Hence, October 16, 1875 is commonly held as BYU's founding date.[20] Said Young about his vision: "I hope to see an Academy established in Provo... at which the children of the Latter-day Saints can receive a good education unmixed with the pernicious atheistic influences that are found in so many of the higher schools of the country."[21]
The school broke off from the University of Deseret and became Brigham Young Academy.[21] Classes commencing January 3, 1876. Warren Dusenberry served as interim principal of the school for several months until April 1876 when Brigham Young's choice for principal arrived—a German immigrant named Karl Maeser.[20] The school did not become a university, however, until the end of Benjamin Cluff, Jr's term at the helm of the institution. At that time, the school was also still privately supported by members of the community and was not absorbed and sponsored officially by the LDS Church until July 18, 1896.[22] A series of odd managerial decisions by Cluff led to his demotion; however, in his last official act, he proposed to the Board that the Academy be named "Brigham Young University". The suggestion received a large amount of opposition, many members of the Board saying that the school wasn't large enough to be a university, but the decision ultimately passed. One opponent to the decision, Anthon H. Lund, later said, "I hope their head will grow big enough for their hat."[23]
In 1903, Brigham Young Academy was dissolved, and was replaced by two institutions: Brigham Young High School, and Brigham Young University.[22] (The BY High School class of 1907 was ultimately responsible for the famous giant "Y" that is to this day embedded on a mountain near campus.[22]) The Board elected George H. Brimhall as the new President of BYU. He had not received a high school education until he was forty. Nevertheless, he was an excellent orator and organizer.[23] Under his tenure in 1904 the new Brigham Young University bought 17 acres (69,000 m2) of land from Provo called "Temple Hill".[22] After some controversy among locals over BYU's purchase of this property, construction began in 1909 on the first building on the current campus, the Karl G. Maeser Memorial.[24] Brimhall also presided over the University during a brief crisis involving the theory of evolution. The religious nature of the school seemed at the time to collide with this scientific theory. Joseph F. Smith, President of the Church, settled the question for a time by asking that evolution not be taught at the school. A few have described the school at this time as nothing more than a "religious seminary". However, many of its graduates at this time would go on to great success and renown in their fields

Brigham Young University . Byu

Brigham Young University (often referred to as BYU) is the flagship[6][7][8] university of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church). Located in Provo, Utah, in the United States, it is America's largest religious university and fourth-largest private university.[9][10]
Approximately 98% of the university's 34,000 students are members of the LDS (Mormon) Church, and one-third of its American students come from within the state of Utah.[11] BYU students are required to follow an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings (e.g., academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards, and abstinence from extramarital sex and from the consumption of drugs and alcohol).[12] Many students (78% of men, 10% of women) take a two-year hiatus from their studies at some point to serve as Mormon missionaries.[13][14] Many BYU students speak foreign languages during their Mormon missions, and approximately 31% of the student body enroll in foreign language courses, making it one of the most linguistic universities in the United States.[15] A BYU education is also less expensive than at similar private universities[16] since approximately 70% of tuition is funded by LDS Church tithing funds.[17]
BYU offers programs in liberal arts, engineering, agriculture, management, and law. The university is broadly organized into 11 colleges or schools at its main Provo campus, with certain colleges and divisions defining their own admission standards. The university also administers two satellite campuses, one in Jerusalem and one in Salt Lake City, while its parent organization, the Church Educational System, sponsors sister schools in Hawaii and Idaho. The university's primary focus is on undergraduate education, but it also has 68 master's and 25 doctoral degree programs.
BYU's athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and are collectively known as the BYU Cougars. They are independent in football, with other sports in the West Coast Conference and MPSF, and have won ten national championships.

Flight 93 in memoriam

On September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93 was one of four planes hijacked in midair.
Three planes succeeded in hitting their targets.
With great courage and resolve, the passengers and crew of FLIGHT 93 prevented their plane from reaching its likely target, The White House or The Capitol Building.

Flight 93 History

What Happened That Day
On September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93, bound for San Francisco, was scheduled to depart Newark International at 8:01 a.m. But airport construction and heavy runway traffic forced a wait of 41 minutes.
The plane did not lift off until 8:42 a.m.
News accounts and experts credit the delay as the primary reason why Fight 93 was the only one of that day’s four deadly flights to fail its appalling mission.
By the time Flight 93 was airborne, the other hijacked jets in the tightly planned attacks had already taken off and were closing in on their targets.
American Airlines Flight 11 left Boston at 7:59 and hit the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46. United 175 also lifted off from Boston, at 8:14, and flew into the south tower at 9:02. After taking off from Dulles at 8:20, headed for Los Angeles, American Flight 77 veered off course at 8:55. Fifteen minutes later, the plane turned back. It crashed into the west side of the Pentagon at 9:38. (All times are Eastern.)
The three initial hijackings were detected by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and reported one by one to the Air Force's North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), at 8:43, 8:53 and 9:24. NORAD's order to scramble military jets out of Otis Air Force Base in Massachusetts came at 8:46.
The Newark delay was critical. It put Flight 93 on an entirely different – and historic – course.
Once the four terrorists took over their plane, passengers and crew were able to phone friends, family and emergency officials to report the hijacking. During those calls, passengers learned about the horrific events in New York and in Washington. The news had already saturated the airwaves. It was clear that the attacks were coordinated and their plane was part of the plan. The realization motivated passengers and crew to band together and fight.
The courageous men and women aboard Flight 93 hatched a hasty, desperate plan to attack the terrorists and try to prevent them from hitting their selected target, probably the White House or the US Capitol.
The passenger leaders, including Tom Burnett, Mark Bingham, Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, and the rest of the passengers and crew, began making final, heartrending calls to say goodbye to loved ones and family. BY 9:58, most cell phone calls had ended. The frantic fight began.
At 10:06, Flight 93 crashed in a field near a wooded area in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in Somerset County, a scant 20 minutes by air from the White House. All 33 passengers and 7 crewmembers were killed. Tragically, the people on board had achieved their goal.
In all, on that dreadful, dreadful morning, only one hour and fifty-three minutes elapsed from the time the first flight was hijacked at 8:13 to the moment Flight 93 crashed.
Later, when the tapes of those indelible farewell calls were released and re-played, all of America and people around the world got to hear, firsthand, the extraordinary bravery and determination of the ordinary civilians who chose to give their lives in order to save the lives of countless others.
Daring, honorable and self-sacrificing, they are true American heroes. The story of Flight 93 is a legacy for us all.

Flight 93 > About the movie

FLIGHT 93 tells the stirring story of the brave passengers and crew aboard hijacked United Airlines' Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. After learning of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, these ordinary civilians chose to fight back against the terrorists. The courageous revolt ultimately led to the deadly crash in a Shanksville, Pennsylvania field, just 20 air minutes from Washington. The passengers' actions likely prevented the plane from being used as a guided missile to destroy the U.S. Capitol or the White House.
Based on fully annotated facts from the public record, this heart-pounding movie includes the extraordinary communications that took place between the doomed passengers and their loved ones on the ground. It covers the horrifying scenarios discussed by U.S. military and government officials as they prepared to shoot down the plane, if necessary. And it reveals the helpless efforts of other pilots in the air and air traffic controllers as everyone scrambled to understand events and react.
FLIGHT 93 stars Jeffrey Nordling as Tom Burnett, Ty Olsson as Mark Bingham, Brennan Elliott as Todd Beamer, Colin Glazer as Jeremy Glick and Kendall Cross as Deena Burnett.
Four-time Emmy nominee David Gerber, a veteran of more than 50 made-for-TV movies and dramas, is executive producer of the movie, with a screenplay by Nevin Schreiner. Peter Markle, director of FAITH OF MY FATHERS and SAVING JESSICA LYNCH, directed FLIGHT 93.
Thanks also, to our partners on this film, Fox Television Studios, who also produced Knights of the South Bronx, The Riverman, The Lost Battalion, and Karroll's Christmas for A&E.

How Did United Flight 93 Crash?

"Eight miles away in New Baltimore, Melanie Hankinson said she found singed papers and other light debris from the crash, including pages from Hemispheres Magazine, United's in-flight magazine. Stoe said authorities initially insisted crash debris could not have traveled over a mountain ridge more than eight miles from the crash.
Comment: Secondary Debris floated miles away on this breeze no wind, not windy enough to active wind chimes? At the time of the crash? Debris found in water fountains? But it did not do that at the Pentagon Crash? Or other similar crashes?
Get away from all this, stop banging your head against a wall. Adding a wall fountain to your garden, whether in the form of a water feature or wall fountain, can add the element of water to your backyard. Leading up to Kate Middleton's wedding, You way want to consider a Kate Middleton Ring as an engagement ring or wedding ring.
The NTSB says it is not only plausible, but probable," said [FBI Agent] Crowley.

Important news...
The FBI finally allowed family members to hear the Cockpit Voice Recorder. Unfortunately, no conclusive evidence was heard by anyone. There simply is no evidence at this time that heroes ever got in the cockpit. The story hasn't changed much since the Newsweek article below outlined what the reporters did and didn't read in the transcripts.
The Fact remains that the FBI has never stated heroes were ever in the cockpit. No official ever has. If you find such a statement please email me a link.
I have to ask: Why not release the Flight Data Recorder info? There is nothing horrific on it. There is nothing there that will aid and abed terrorists. There is nothing that will jeopardize a trial. And it's data that usually gets released at some point.
It's simply data about the aircraft as it flew and crashed.
There's only one reason not to release it. Because it shows the plane depressurizing, losing an engine, flipping upside down and crashing in a way that they don't care to explain.
November 27th - The FBI recently provided a partial Cockpit Voice Recorder transcript to 3 Newsweek reporters. It appears to verify things I've been saying for 2 months, like"The Investigators are looking into the possibility that the heroes came very close to the cockpit, it is unclear that they actually reached the cockpit door." Here is what I think about that Newsweek report.

Plan Your Visit Flight 93

Attention:  Final Closing of the Temporary Memorial-Sept 9, 2011
The last temporary memorial - the Western Overlook - will close for the very last time at 4 pm on September 9, 2011 in preparation for the opening and dedication of the permanent memorial. The entire park will be completely closed until the next day.

Welcome to Flight 93 National Memorial.
2011 is a year of many changes and new beginnings here at Flight 93 National Memorial.  A visit this year will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the permanent memorial taking shape. Below are some of the things you should note when planning your visit this special year.

The Flight 93 Story

On the morning of September 11, 2001, al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners in a strategically planned attack against the United States. These terrorists intentionally flew two jet airliners into theWorld Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York City and a third aircraft into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. A fourth aircraft, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into an open field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, killing all passengers, crew members, and terrorists on board. The four aircraft strikes killed nearly 3,000 people, the deadliest attack on American soil by a foreign entity. This is the Flight 93 Story.
It began as just an ordinary day...
Seven crew members assigned to Flight 93 began to prepare for the early morning non-stop flight from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California. Thirty-three passengers were traveling for ordinary reasons. Flight 93 was a Boeing 757, with a capacity of 182 passengers. The terrorists targeted domestic flights that normally had few passengers so they would have less resistance, used the type of aircraft that they had been trained to pilot, were non-stop, coast-to-coast flights with full fuel tanks that would cause the maximum amount of destruction, and were departing at approximately the same time so they could make a coordinated, surprise attack.
The hijackers on September 11, 2001, were terrorists on a suicide mission. This was the first time hijackers used commercial airliners as weapons to destroy symbolic targets, commit mass murder, and spread terror.
On that morning, three of the four hijacked flights departed on schedule. However, Flight 93 was delayed more than 25 minutes due to typically heavy morning traffic. Just four minutes after Flight 93 departed, hijacked Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. At 9:03 a.m., a second hijacked plane, Flight 175, hit the South Tower.
At 9:37 a.m. hijacked Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. The Federal Aviation Administration, at 9:42 a.m. ordered all aircraft to land at the nearest airport at 9:42 a.m. An estimated 4,500 aircraft landed safely without incident. This was the first time such an order had been given in United States aviation history. By that time, though, Flight 93 was not responding to any orders.
"Mayday! Get out of here!"
At about 9:28 a.m., after 46 minutes of routine flight across Pennsylvania, the terrorists on Flight 93 overtook the cockpit, turning the plane southeast on a course directed toward Washington, D.C., the nation's capital. The passengers and crew were forced to the back of the plane and told to be quiet. Using airfones, passengers and crew began making calls to report the hijacking. They soon learned the shocking news about the other hijacked planes and quickly realized that Flight 93 was part of a larger attack on America. This realization led to a vote and a collective decision to fight back.
In just over 30 minutes, this diverse group of people on Flight 93 developed a plan and put it into action. The cockpit voice recorder (reader discretion advised) captured the sounds of their struggle: shouts, screams, calls to action, and sounds of breaking glassware. To stop the uprising, the terrorist piloting the aircraft began to roll it to the left and right, and pitch the nose up and down. In its final moments, the plane turned upside down as it passed over rural Western Pennsylvania. The terrorists remained in control of the plane and chose to crash it rather than risk the passengers and crew regaining control of the aircraft.
At 10:03 a.m., Flight 93 plowed into an empty field at a speed of 563 miles per hour. Upon impact, the 7,000 gallons of jet fuel on board the aircraft exploded, creating a ball of fire that rose higher than the trees.
Quick and determined actions...
The flight data recorder that was recovered from the crash site revealed that the terrorists had reprogrammed the aircraft's autopilot system for a new destination - Washington, D.C. Recovered evidence and responses to interrogations revealed that the terrorists' intended target was most likely the United States Capitol, where the nation's legislators were in session. Flight 93 crashed only 20 minutes flying-time from Washington, D.C.
Because of the quick and determined actions of the passengers and crew, Flight 93 was the only one of the four hijacked aircraft that failed to reach the terrorists' intended target that day. The passengers and crew showed unity, courage, and defiance in the face of adversity.
Today the National Park Service, its volunteers, and its partners work to honor their sacrifice and to try to understand more fully the legacy of Flight 93 and the other events of 9/11.

Montreal Canadiens History

The Canadiens were founded by J. Ambrose O'Brien on December 4, 1909, as a charter member of the National Hockey Association,[9][10] the forerunner to the National Hockey League. It was to be the team of the francophone community in Montreal, composed of francophone players, and under francophone ownership as soon as possible.[11] The team's first season was not a success, as they placed last. After the first year, ownership was transferred to George Kennedy of Montreal[12] and the team's fortunes improved over the next seasons. The team won its first Stanley Cup championship in the 1915–16 season.[9] In 1917, with four other NHA teams, the Canadiens formed the NHL,[9] and they won their first NHL Stanley Cup during the 1923–24 season, led by Howie Morenz. The team moved from the Mount Royal Arena to the Montreal Forum for the 1926–27 season.[9]
In the 1930s, the club started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 and 1931. However, the club and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons, declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Cleveland, Ohio interests. However, local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations, and several of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
Led by the "Punch Line" of Maurice "Rocket" Richard, Toe Blake and Elmer Lach in the 1940s, the Canadiens enjoyed success again atop the NHL. From 1952 to 1960, the franchise won six Stanley Cups, including a record five straight from 1956 to 1960, with a new set of stars coming to prominence: Jean Beliveau, Dickie Moore, Doug Harvey, Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion, Jacques Plante, and Richard's younger brother, Henri.
The Canadiens added ten more championships in fifteen seasons from 1965 to 1979,[9] with another dynastic run of four straight Cups from 1976 to 1979.[9] In the 1976–77 season, the Canadiens set a modern-day record for fewest losses by only losing eight games in an 80-game season. The next generation of stars included Guy Lafleur, Yvan Cournoyer, Ken Dryden, Pete Mahovlich, Steve Shutt, Bob Gainey, Serge Savard, Guy Lapointe and Larry Robinson. Scotty Bowman, who would later set a record for most NHL victories by a coach, was the team's head coach for its last five Stanley Cup victories in the '70s.
The Canadiens won Stanley Cups in 1986, led by rookie star goaltender Patrick Roy,[9] and in 1993,[9] continuing their streak of winning at least one championship in every decade from the 1910s to the 1990s (this streak ended in the 2000s). In 1996, the Habs moved from the Montreal Forum, their home during 70 seasons and 22 Stanley Cups, to the Molson Centre (now the Bell Centre).[9]
On December 29, 2008 the Canadiens won 5-2 over the Florida Panthers to become the first team in NHL history to reach 3,000 victories.
