mccrimmon was a fifty two year old for fifty two your canadian former stanley cup when i'm sort of calgary flames and also some of the big key players were players that had been brought in from other countries from the czech republic out of your neck players like that it's it's it is a big show where the hockey fans are going to go to red square in central moscow as well to pay their respects you know more about i don't know any more about the one thing that we did hear and see also with the pictures and this is a showing there was that the match that she was referring to is solid actually life who are the defending champions from maine last year's runners up atlanta you know far in basically the opening game of the season and they'd actually faced off they were actually playing that game when news came through of exactly what happened and mr mr bennett he's the president was there and effectively the game was stopped as news came through and they stopped there and then and had a minute's silence and as you can see by the the the pictures everybody was just completely devastated and show.

in may 1886 some he assembled the company of what they described as the 100 best athletes in the calgaryand he was 65 venturers 230 pounds only about average college linebacker but back then he is described as "a gigantic beowulf of the man" in the 1880s i think i would have been a linebacker. [laughter] over the next two months they march nearly 1400 miles in the 120-degree heat in the mountainous pursuing geronimo and although they never caught him it help to convince geronimo to surrender 1886. consequently, because it was his company that escorted geronimo's band across the border he became famous as the man who captured geronimo but fast four did 13 years the united states army was bogged down fighting the counter insurgency in the philippines. like the iraq war capturing the leader was seen as the key to victory by u.s. forces were led by the cautious group that was just like general mcclellan but without the good looks. meaning that he did not do anything and not very good looking but in in the early 18 teenine the rumor buzzed through the corridors even the most battle hardened v

regiment who was a member of parliament, one of the proudest moments of his life, and he was led by a calgary export from elizabethtown new jersey to volley forge where he was ushered into the company of george washington, and george washington gave him a review of honor, treated him very well and after allen went home to vermont washington wrote this to the president of the congress. his fortitude and firmness seems to have placed him out of reach of misfortune. there is in him and our original something that commands admiration and his long captivity and suffering have only served to increase if possible his characteristic enthusiastic zeal. so that's washington's assessment and very much of the other revolutionary leaders. the first thing he did when he got back to vermont, not the first thing that he learned that his brother died on the week before looking out the window waiting to see if evin was coming down the road yet. he lost his only son. his wife was dying of tuberculosis, the daughter was studying of tuberculosis sweeping the impoverished frontier that time. and what he did to sho

my question for the director is i was fortunate enough to stumble on the program in calgary about planes going up and dropping some kind of pellet to change the physical makeup of the storm, downsize the hail, and this was -- this was being funded by insurance companies. and i was wondering if we had any knowledge about whether that stands today or any other program in the making for the ability to change. thank you. >> host: thanks, kevin. >> guest: well, with regard to kevin's question, there have been theories that you can pop late a thunderstorm with things like silver iodine, and they will attract the moisture in the cloud and spread it out, reduce the ability to form hail, reduce the ability to be an intense thunderstorm. i think the research results of weather modification are mixed. from our perspective, and we don't engage in weather modification, there's a downside to that as well. and that i don't think research can prove convincingly if we are not engaged that you might not make, potentially make a storm worse. i think that's a concern that i would have a meteorologist. >> ho

. >> i was in calgary.actually on my way to the airport. >> another official found himself far from ottawa with the u.s. ambassador to canada at that time, paul cellucci. sent the u.s. forces jet to send my wife from calgary back to ottawa. msa was one of the area flights -- in fact he was one of the eeriest flights because we were the only plane moving and the only plane to take off, probably one of the few airplanes other than other military aircraft flying in north america at that time. >> how would you characterize the canadian response to the events that unfolded that day? >> the canadian response was overwhelming. we had 25,000 americans in addition to several thousand had arrived unexpectedly because the u.s. airspace was closed. you know, like i've been gander. >> by the afternoon of 2011, curious onlookers lined the roads by the airport in gander to be the dozens of planes parked on its runways. >> well, the first day was a lot of uncertainty because we weren't sure how long the aircraft is going t

there is one up near calgary.they videotaped the chinese lanterns. on the video, look, look what we see. so there is a lot of moeks hoaxes out there. this is something going up or down. >> nasa hasn't identified the images. >> why right. they can't verify anything. there is nothing at all on the ground. this looked spectacular for a while in hawaii. this is much too early. three or four hours before it hit. people were looking in the sky for everything. i had video from san antonio from a tv station. didn't ever go over san antonio. people were trying it see things and they saw other things that fall out of the sky all the time that we don't know about. >> can we say, hash tag wab anti-cli mac tick. >> yes. and anti-sleep. we stayed up until 3:00 doing that. >> that is your reporter roulette for this monday. >>> i don't know if you stayed up late watching this, but you know you arrived on national stage when your performance is on saturday night live. what do you think of the actor that took on rick perry's person

well, at the same time today libya's fractured transitional leaders, they are bal calgary-at the idea of staging that head-on assault into gadhafi's biggest hometown, the city of sirte. one of gadhafi's son saif al islam claims sirte is being defended by 20,000 gadhafi supporters. is it a bluff in the transitional leaders are hoping to avoid bloodshed there. let's go to cnn's senior international correspondent nic robertson in the capital city of tripoli. nic, gadhafi has all but been written off there, but keeping in mind saddam hussein what, we saw in iraq, can gadhafi cause the kind of trouble, you know, fighting month to month, town to town like he's threatening today? >> reporter: it seems to be a lot of rhetoric and a lot of bluff. yesterday saif al islam in a speech about this time said that this is the moment to attack, attack, attack and then nothing happened. there was no big attack from the gadhafi loyalists. so if the audience he's speaking to doesn't seem to be acting on his words. however, what's interesting is the former foreign minister here turned himself in to the na

. >> i was in calgary actually on my way to the airport. >> another found himself stranded far from iowaas the u.s. ambassador to canada at that time, paul. >> he sent a canadian first challenger jet to fly my wife ??? and i am not sure it was one of the areas like the flight for the only plan moving and probably one of the only a few airplanes out of military aircraft flying in north america at that time. >> how would you characterize the canadian response to the events that unfolded that they? >> the canadian response was overwhelming. we had about 25,000 americans in addition to several thousand from other countries that arrive in canada unexpectedly because the u.s. airspace was closed like a been gander there were more stranded airline passengers and people who lived in gander. estimate by the afternoon of september 11th the curious onlookers lined the roads by the airport to view the dozens of planes now parked on the runway. >> the first day was a lot of uncertainty because we were not sure so once they landed we were not sure of the would be here for three hours, five hours, six

cantor decided last week even as the winds were affecting his district and the hurricane irene was calgarying the east coast -- challenging the east coast, the portion of the country that he represents, he decided that we needed to find an offset so that we could send money to his district and to other districts across the country and just picked this program. they couldn't have picked a worse one because this program is actually working. it has already demonstrated it has revilized communities -- revitalized communities. but in addition, mr. president, it's a republican -- it's a program that's created jobs that several dozen republican house members have sent private letters to the secretary of energy asking for the money to go back to their districts, but publicly they want to gut the program. so democrats have decided to bring this to the attention of the american public. how is it that dozens of republican leaders -- and i have those letters that i'm going to submit to the record -- how is it that dozens of republican leaders write private letters, which are public record, but, you know,

speaker, the cost of the taxpayer funded trips to events like football games, hockey games, and the calgarytampede, have shocked canadians. the government is planning significant cuts to the canadian forces. >> mr. speaker, will this canadian austerity plan only apply to sailors, soldiers? and air men and women and not to the brass? proved to be taken by the chief of defense staff? chief of defense staff? >> hear, hear. >> the minister of defense is operating under the rules of the -- he understands with -- what the expectations are, and certainly is prepared to live with those, live according to those rules. fly frequently on government business, but obviously where there are alternatives, we will look into that usage. [applause] >> the fact is 1.4 million canadians are out of work, more than three years ago. over 300,000 more. that does not include the canadian to have given up looking for work altogether. with so many canadians out of work, will leave and as minister -- will the finance minister use the opportunity of the economic statement to introduce a real plan to create and save can

my question for the director -- i stumbled upon a program up in calgary where planes were going up into thunderclouds and dropping some kind of pellet to change the physical makeup of the storm and downsize the hell. this was being funded by insurance companies. i was wondering if he had any knowledge about where that stands today. thank you. guest: with regard to the question, there have been theories that you can populate a thunderstorm with things like silver iodide and it will attract the moisture in the cloud and spread it out, reduce the ability to form the helail. the research result of whether modifications are next. from our perspective, and we do not engage in weather modification, there is a downside to that, as well. i don't think research can prove convincingly that if we're not engaged that might potentially make a storm worse. i think that is a concern i would have as a meteorologist. host: newark, new jersey, charles. please go ahead. caller: how are you doing? doing,ire, how are you going mr. hayes? my question is about -- host: we are getting some feedback. how do you

instead of having increased exports from seoul and bogota and calgary and munich, they should be coming from cincinnati and cleveland and dayton and columbus. interestingly, korea and colombia have started negotiating an agreement with themselves. again, we're not moving forward because we're not part of these agreements because we do not have trade promotion. i hope these three agreements are the examples of the kind of agreements that we could have been negotiating over the past three or four years and that we should start negotiating tomorrow by this senate and the house giving the president the trade promotion authority that he needs to be able to have those negotiations and to open those markets for u.s. products. the reality is trade promotion authority is vital for any country to have because if you don't no one will sit down at the table to tkpwar ban with you -- bargain with you. here in america, after we negotiate an agreement at the executive branch level, it has to come back to congress, and other countries don't want to renegotiate an agreement with the united states congre
