TIMELINE: “Dancing” Through the Seasons “Some viewers reported experiencing difficulties registering their votes for the Dancing with the Stars finale, which affected each finalist equally,” show producers said in a statement. “The issue was promptly addressed” and voting times were not extended. The finalists performed their last dances for viewer votes on Monday’s episode, which count for half of their overall scores toward the title. The judges’ scores for each competitor’s two dances Tuesday will be added to their overall Monday totals. The dancer with the highest combined total of judges’ points and viewer votes will become the new “Dancing” champ. Grey comes into Tuesday’s season finale in first place. The 50-year-old actress and her professional partner, Derek Hough, earned a perfect score of 60 for their two dances on Monday’s show. Massey finished in second place with 56 points, while Palin landed in third with 52 points. “Dancing” executive producer Conrad Green said it would be fair game if Palin’s voters send her to victory Tuesday. Palin said on Monday’s episode that “there’s lots of haters out there that are waiting for me to fail,” but added after the show that she feels she and Ballas deserve to win. “We’ve been working our butts off,” the 20-year-old single mom said. Grey said she won’t consider the mirrorball trophy until Tuesday’s dances are done. “I think it’s bad juju,” she said after earning a perfect score Monday. Massey and his partner, Lacey Schwimmer, said they’ve been having so much fun dancing together, they can hardly believe they actually have a chance at the title. “We have a one-in-three shot,” Schwimmer said. “It’ll be crazy if we win,” Massey said. “I’ll be excited. I’ll probably do the worm again.” (The 19-year-old Disney Channel star did the retro dance move during his freestyle routine on Monday’s show.)

“This is a movement of defensive assets operating in an air-to-air role only,” the statement continued. “They are not deploying to take part in any military action against Syria. The (prime minister) has made clear no decision has been taken on our response and the gGovernment has said that there will be a Commons vote before direct military involvement.” U.S. officials describe the Pentagon decision as prudent planning and say it doesn’t suggest the carrier would play a role in any possible strikes in Syria. The officials were not authorized to discuss ship movements publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The U.S. had kept two carriers in the region, but budget cuts in February forced officials to cut to one. CBS News correspondent David Martin reports two submarines — one American, one British — are in the eastern Mediterranean along with four American destroyers and a fifth on the way — all armed with cruise missiles. That’s more than enough firepower for a strike Pentagon officials say would be limited to fewer than 50 targets. Each of the destroyers carries about 40 cruise missiles – a satellite-guided weapon that carries a 1,000-pound warhead, has a range of 1000 miles or more and is accurate to within about 15 feet. Standard procedure would be for the ships to fire an opening salvo at night, wait for satellites to assess the damage and re-strike any targets that were not destroyed — a process that could take a few days. Any strike against Syria, Martin points out, would be designed to convince its dictator, President Bashar Assad, never to use chemical weapons again. But airstrikes never succeeded in changing the behavior of another Mideast dictator — Iraq’s Saddam Hussein — until he was finally captured and hanged.
