the air, and there is air in the glass. yeah, there is air in the glass gang. any air in this room? isn't it nice that there is air in the room. what if there is no air in the room? we'll not survive. you would be trouble. have you wondered about that like you're breathing and you really need the air-- in your nighttime, you're breathing all of a sudden you think, "wait a minute, if all the air molecules that are right here all of a sudden goes somewhere else and i go to take a breath and there is nothing there. honey, you're gonna go out, you're gonna check out. aren't you glad the air is all around-- how come the air stays near where your mouth is? because it's being pushed by a pressure and that pressure is due to the weight of air above us. air has any weight? it turns out air has weight, a lot of weight if you talk about a lot of air, okay? what's it called here? one cubic meter of air, it's not like this, huh, it's like a lot like this. bam-bam-bam, one cubic meter of air, like a little small truckload gang, has one and a quarter kilograms, okay? that's about 2-3/4 pounds. so

air. it begins with a "a." air. all right. it ends with r. air. air. okay. and can that air circulate? now if the air warmed up and just went away, then you get cold again, see? but it's all held there by these little netting. that's what it is. when that stuffirst came out, i looked at that and said, "what?" 'cause, you know, "this is gonna keep warm, honey." and they show you something with all these holes. [laughter] all these holes? that doesn't sound right. but i--wait a minute, wait a minute. i said, "i know what that is." it begins with a p. i mean, begins with an f." what is it? physics. oh, you don't be knowin'? physics. [laughter] oh, yeah. yeah. let's talk about convection. convection, the other form of heat transfer. first, conduction then convection. convection is what, gang? convection is the moving of fluids. for example, if you heat part of your thtub up, pretty soon this part is hot, too. a ttle conduction going on there, but mostly the water is kinda moving around in currents. and so when you carry heat from one place to another by virtue o

the air goes up and the air expands. when the air expands, it cools, condenses, clouds, ccc. neato. turns out when air rises and expands, it cools by about 10 degrees celsius for every kilometer. the converse is true too. if the air all of a sudden nosedived down, it would heat up 10 degrees for every kilometer. there are parts of the world where in the middle of the winter the air sometimes is abnormally warm. and what happens, is cold mountain air nosedives down into the communities. and when it nosedives, what's it do, gang? expand or compress? - compress. - it compresses. and what compresses? does it cool or heat? - heats. - heats. and that can heat up the whole community. some of these are called chinooks. winds which-- --go up over a mountain, give off their moisture and come back down and compress, compress, and become abnormally warm and heat up the whole community. so if you compress air, you heat it. if you expand air, you cool it, kinda neat. i got a question for you. if you go about five kilometers above hawaii right now, lets say it's zero degrees celsius, freezing, fiv

i don't know if the forward air controller from the air force sitting back behind me with hal moore, he must have called him up and said get up here. i had the air force guys i was talking to them right in the airplane and they were droning around up there at night. and this was embedded forever. it's dark and you can hear them. and after a little while one of the lieutenants called down and said that dudurig, they're right in front of me. and he said how close. he says i can almost touch them. and he said kill them. and he turned to me and he said illumination. i said to the guy -- i said to the air force, kick it out illumination out now. with that, pretty soon there was this little pop and it was like this, bright as day. i couldn't believe it. >> what did you see? >> well, lots. and they were all around in woods and everything. and then that's when i just cut loose with everything. i'd walk up and down, around and all over. >> the troops in the meantime all around you are firing 60s and 79s, and everything else but you're not. you're talking on the phone or was there a point you

i mean, aircraft needs air to fly. it's got to hit air. next time you're driving in a car, put your hand out the window. you put your hand like this. you see why aircraft fly. that air hit in the bottom. now, take your hand and go like that. down. is that what you do when you're in the water? you go like this. down, up, huh? 'cause that water bounces out that way, push you this way, see? water bounces off this way, push you that way. the aircraft do the same-- - thing. - --thing. but you got to have the air to ride on. how about the people in the aircraft? people in the aircraft say, "what are those people down there complaining about? i don't get any problem." is that true? people in the aircraft hear the sonic boom too? they are making it. they ought to hear it, yeah? well, person riding a boat, okay, douses all the kids at the edge of the river. he said, "i don't know what everyone's complaining about. it seems nice and smooth to me." it turns out even a bullet, gang, a bullet, most bullets will travel faster than the speed of sound. so

the air force base. it was the knowledge, we see f-16s and military aircraft all the time in this region, but to know that one was on an actual combat air patrol over an american city, it really drove it home that this was anything but a normal day. >> i don't believe there was a time in its history that this base was as important in the life of this nation as it was that day. in all of its 68 years, this base was there when the president of the united states, commander in chief, needed it. it was a safe place to be in case we were attacked again, in case something worse came down the road. this was a central point. and within 24 hours, aircraft from this base were planning missions, deciding where they would head out, go out, begin what we now know as the global war on terror. >> there really was no sense of wow, we participated in history today, and you know, we'll take a moment to reflect on that, because there really wasn't any time. we simply moved from exercise to real world mode in the blink of an

probably 6 to 8 feet in the air.round it. >> that's when we knew we needed to get off. as the passengers evacuate. captain kam ran stays in the cockpit. relying on the compressed air that supplies his ok general mask, he began shutting down the aircraft. before he can finish, the air runs out. >> i couldn't blooet. so i tore the mask off and opened the window. i tried to get up myself, and i couldn't move. >> captain cameron loses consciousness. firefighters have to spray him with foam to revive him. >> it was ice cold. then i was hanging from the window sill with my right hand. i let go and fell down. >> there were 46 people on board the plane. half of them were killed. of those who survived, only five were not injured. we started talking to each other. they let us know people next to them had not gotten off the plan plane. >> as far as the enormity of the deaths of that, that's still with me. i feel badly about that. we thought everybody could get off. >> it was a real mixed bag of emotions. of course, we were thri

way and i opens the air way. this young lady is in the classic position and take first aid and take cpr class and ther is any and she'y annie and she' and in a disaster you don't fin pele in this position and sometimes i walk up and i can't tell whether they are breathing or not and you have to get closer and you have to touch th person and shake and shout "are you all right? " and no response and then you touch annie and shake her and n response, and what you do is pu the person in a neutral positi position, on the back so you ca open the air way if you think they're not breathing. if they are breathing and you shake annie and she says "go away, i'm sleeping here" you don't have to move her. how much blood do you have? about 6-liters and how much of the red fluid would it take to soak the front of my shirt? not much and one of the little lobes in the bottom here, half an ounce would coat my shirt an if i were to take this and pore it out on the wooden flee floor make a mess and all over the place and difficult t

the air crew members were on alert. everybody was already at their duty stations due to this prearranged exercise. i remember it being sort of a feeling of disbelief myself, that what i was seeing on tv was actually happening, and everyone quickly transitioned from this exercise the base was in into the real world handling of the events that were unfolding. >> barksdale is a bomber base located in northwest louisiana. it's about 22,000 acres. barksdale opened its gates in early february, 1933. it started out as an army airfield. at the time it opened it was called the world's largest airport. on september the 11th, the role of ts base was essentially the same as it is today. it was the largest assembly of b52 aircraft in the world, and a major planning base as the headquarters of 8th air force and second bomb wing. >> as i heard this story through our wing commander at the time, brigadier general curtis bed key. we already had a command post fully activated and general bed key was there. and as he later reported, when "

i'm going to count on the united states air force, the total air force, to support our requirement, but all of us had to make tough choices and hated to see some of these cuts happen. >> well, you know, they're not there yet. i'm hopeful that we'll be able to have a conversation because when you're talking about the best value for the dollar, the air guard versus the regular air force, and the reserves as well, the reserve component, it doesn't make sense when you're talking about protecting the homeland. we're not just talking about protecting the homeland. there's one army, one military concept now and a lot of these folks are back-filling regular air force and army units, and like i said, the army seems to have kind of got it right. they're being thoughtful, judicious. the air force, in all due respect, it's not over, i haven't really seen evidence that these cuts make sense. so i just wanted to bring that to your attention. appreciate your input on that. thank you. >> thank you very much, senator brown. senator udall? >> thank you, mr. chairman. good morning, gentlemen. thank you fo

air flight including the captain are killed. all ten passengers and two crew members in the small sky west plane also die. >> i wouldn't expect that the -- anyone on the sky west to have ever understood what happened. it was instantaneous. >> investigators immediately begin the grim task of finding out what went wrong. john cox who is an aviation analyst was an investigator for the airline pilots association at the time. >> as an investigator it is one of the tougher ones i had worked. because there were still some of the bodies were still in there. these things are always catastrophic to work. it is absolutely vital that a group of people do this job so that we understand what happened and don't have a reoccurrence. >> while poor visibility from the tower to the runway and glare shining into the tower are part of the problem, investigators focus on air traffic control. >> air traffic controllers, as a matter of routine multitask. they are issuing landing clearances, take-off clearances, so the multitasking on that evening would

there are currently permitted under the shipyard's air permit. this project is the best way to improve air quality of the ship yard. -- atht the shipyard. the mitigation i talked about earlier, this project fully offset the commission -- decommissioning of shoreham power at pier 27 for the two- year period, and it has surplus air quality benefits that help offset some of the additional america's cup race operations omissions to the point where in three of four air quality or air criteria measured by eight sikh wy sequa for cleaning up the ai. so what we spent quite a bit of time with hugh in the san francisco public utilities commission trying to finance this project, and it was an uncomfortable initial conversation with dae, because as a result of this being a mitigation measure, the project is not eligible for carl moyer funding. i want to thank hugh for taking the news in stride as we try to come up with an economic solution for the project. and i think we have done a pretty good job of that. the letter of intent proposes it will construct of

act that lower the volatility of the gasoline and on air and hot summer days. it becomes a cycle. we have well-established authorities in the event of any actual fuel supply shortage with doe con kurns. we've used that authority and we're certainly works with the state of pennsylvania and the industry and doe on those issues. >> we will follow up with some questions for the record on the funding and its effects on rhode island and i would ask if you could respond to those fairly quickly because in the budget cycle, if we get stalled on that, we're stuck waiting. i would ask for your cooperation in providing us pretty quick answers and i'd like to ask that a providence journal article from the summer of 2011 which is admitted into the record, madam chair, may i ask unanimous consent? >> without objection. >> thank you. >> it describes a success story, which is that our salt water beach days lost to contaminated swimming waters decreased by 35% in 2011 from 2009 levels and credited some of the big projects that rhode island has done. the commission has built enor

air power. how do you deal with air defense? have everybody shoot at the planes as much as they possibly can. you start with that. they move very quickly to get help from the chinese and soviets. they get soviet migs soviet ground offensive and have a dangerous air defense network against the united states. the ground war though dealing with this is the most -- arguably the most important purposes here. they have to figure out how to fight this ground war against the united states. again, the north, the generals and the political leaders in north vietnam, they don't agree about how to do this. they follow the two camps here. you have the duan ton block. they argue you have to match american escalation and fight hard the whole time. you have to do this hoping you can push the south vietnamese regime over the edge. they also wanted to increasingly commit them to the south. they wanted to go to phase 3 very, very quickly here. general jopp, he has a different view. he's the head of the army, but he wants a slower approach. he argue

the pilot of a passenger aircraft operated by an air carrier in air transportation or interstate transportation is authorized to carry a firearm into the cockpit if the undersecretary meaning the tsa approves, if the airline approves, if the firearm is approved by the tsa, and if the pilot receives proper training for use of that firearm. well, we went to work. and several meetings with the tsa and several letters to secretary of transportation norm mineta fell on deaf ears. they didn't want to have a thing to do with us. in fact, administrator john mcgow said i will not allow pilots to be armed. that will required a ten-month extensive lobbying effort with congressional members and staff and although some in the alpa leadership leaned towards a limited program with 2% pilot cap and a two-year sunset provision that would certainly have killed the program very early on, an amendment by representative defazio removed those limits and hr-4635 was passed 310-113 in the house of representatives. in the senate, they always wanted a full-blown program. although there was opposition there, as well, fro

the air at st. margaret school. the small red bag of hazardous materials may contain the source of the fumes that forced students to evacuate. >> everyone did get out of the building. the children were in no way, shape or form in danger. they were evacuated to our elementary building. the teachers left the building as well. >> reporter: a cross contamination of cleaning chemicals filled the building before the students emptied out. >> the fire department transported four adults. we had three adults who refused medical treatment. >> members of the harford county hazmat team entered with monitors but found little evidence after workers had ventilated the classrooms. if nothing else the bel air fire department's spokesperson said it serves as a reminder when mixing household chemicals. >> people don't realize. it the innocuous chemicals can cause a problem. read the labels and check to see what you can use them for. >> reporter: in bel air, jeff hager. >> now school administrators say the facility work

as it does so, it will help drag in cooler air. as we look at the overall pattern, again, those renegade showers. cooler air wrapping in behind this thing. very dry conditions across most of the eastern u.s. this will be a brief shot but quite a cold shot and very dry air in police tonight and into -- place tonight and into the day tomorrow. very little new active weather. tomorrow a brilliant blue sky but cooler hair arriving. however, this won't hold up. sunday we get a south wind. that's going to mean ader and bright sunny day. very high on the march scale. it won't be as warm saturday as it will on sunday. overnight tonight down to 30, turning cooler. then as we look at your two-degree guarantee, 46, mostly sunny, breezy and chilly, and tomorrow night 30, so a clear night with a chill in the air. again, just a friendly reminder, don't forget sunday morning. i'm looking at you joce sterman. don't forget to set those clocks ahead one hour. back in the 60s by sunday afternoon after a chilly start. so a split weekend, if you will.

dangers of toxic air pollution. in 2010 alone. it prevented more than 160,000 premature deaths and more than 1.7 million child respiratory illnesses. these are more than just statistics. just like administrator jackson. i have family members, as i mentioned, that suffer from asthma. our families know that asthma is a serious disease that can mean life or death. and its growth in our population is enormous. the clean air act economic benefits are also clear. when air pollution is severe, health care costs soar and productivity plunges. businesses know oom es know emp can't breathe are employees who can't work. gutting it will do nothing to help our economic recovery or to close our budget deficit. we have to fix the budget challenge but no american would balance their household budget by skimping on their family's safety, and congress shouldn't be putting austerity above public health. i applaud the epa for making responsible choices in the budget, although i am concerned about some cuts such as the elimination of th

i just have to remind us all that, yes, indoor air quality is very important but outdoor air quality impacts indoor air quality quite significantly as well. so we look at air as a whole, not simply one versus the other. >> the gentleman's time is expired. mrs. jackson, one thing that mr. mckinley brought up and a number of people have brought up is the amount of grants that are given with epa to foreign entities directly or indirectly. i would just ask that you all provide with us a list of those over the last three years. last three years. at this time i recognize the gentleman from west virginia -- i mean from virginia, mr. griffith, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ms. jackson, secretary jackson, today the d.c. circuit is hearing oral argument in the greenhouse gas litigation and that involves the tailoring rule. in your brief that has been filed on behalf, it indicates in that brief that there would be a need to hire 230,000 full-time employees, that there would need to be an additional 81,000 psd permits per year, 6 million title 5 permits and a cost to the epa of $

as reducing suggestion in the air space. this will mean increase safety and fewer delays. >> because we are reducing a lot of the noise in the system, the management challenges that we have by taking advantage of these advanced procedures. >> i know sometimes other airlines i have waited an hour and a half or two hours and that would be good if they could reduce that >> good luck to them >> the timeframe for the first phase of the initiative is three years. congress has already funded $5 billion for the study and just to share some numbers, we're looking at an annual savings once it is implemented of $6.5 million to 0.3 million gal. of fuel and saving 23,000 metric tons of carbon emissions. we would be going green and making air travel more efficient. >> some heavy cruise ship traffic in the port of san francisco is slowing street traffic as well. a stretch of the embarcadero will be closed on the date passengers getting on and off to a huge ships that are in port right now. the larger is leaving for a white and the others s

the epa has not -- the epa has been able to find ambient air causation. the epa took upon itself to set energy and manufacturing policy by way of a manipulated study to overrule the congress. in my opinion, this is unacceptable. i could go on and on, but i'll stop since my time has expired. you can look forward to an exciting hearing today and that dialog when we get to the q and a period. thank you for your attendance. >> we will recognize mr. dingell for an opening statement. >> mr. chairman, i thank you for your courtesy and for recognizes me and i commend you for holding this hearing. first, ms. jackson, thank you for visiting the north american auto show with me last weekend and i hope you enjoyed seeing the high efficiency cars that are coming out of detroit. i thank you for taking the time to attend. it was helpful to our people and i hope the experience was valuable to you and to the epa to understand all the problems we have in michigan. epa was kind of enough to allow me to speak at the fuel efficiency standards meeting and i am engaged that the

, very humid air you feel that.ck it out as we look at overall pattern you can see through the day weather starts to go downhill and then we have showers in the evening. rain totals have been relatively moderate, we have had near a half inch in places like centerville and further west toward only. on the eastern shore it defends where are you watching from. this will add to the totals, this line of showers and a few storms and believe it or not this is part of a line that caused such unbelievable devastation across the upper midwest. incredible tornado damage. here in maryland the concern for isolated flooding, central and western counties with flood watches and coastal flood advisories for tomorrow morning for the western shore of the chesapeake. enhanced -- into tomorrow. just be adviced of that if you are on the water. humidity very high. helping fuel its storms, again they have been healthy and stout at times but as we sort of lot of the heating of the day and the line of storms, very cool air in place over mary

down air of the pollution. we don't harm anybody else. so we'll be working with you on that. i just wanted to make sure you know how important it is for us to have that recognized. and responsible for fuel shortages in the northeast this summer and everything that has to do with you do, it's often surrounded with propaganda, rumor, and speculation and it's been largely fact proof but what are the facts? >> there are specific issues and closely monitoring the fuel supply information and refineries that refer to process light sweet crude, haven't had decided that they would rather shut down and that simply means that we need to ensure that with the refineries gone, the buckeye pipeline doesn't result in there being a reliable supply of gasoline and customers in that marketplace. so one of the refineries has said now that they have a plan in place to deliver reliable supply of products in the areas that they serve. even if they fail to find a buyer for that one refinery. however, epa has been working with the department of energy. we work with the private sector, continue to wor

base closures and tensions between the air force and the air national guard are growing as are fears that sequestration may become a reality. here to talk about all of that and more is our roundtable, kate branon, the congressional reporter for defense news. lauren thompson every the lexington institute, mckenzie eggland of the american enterprise institute and larry corb from the center for american progress. ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. >> nice to be with you. >> let's start with general alann. general alann, the american commander of u.s. central command gave testimony on the house and senate first time for the first time since the koran burning institute and when staff sergeant balancees can accused of having killed 17 afghan civilians, that's increased calls for folks to say, hey, look, it's time to get out of afghanistan. when the french lost a few soldiers a few months ago, president sarkozy says we're going to withdraw a year early. yet the administration is sticking with this 2014 date and saying u.s. troops are going to stay well beyond that. where's this debate goin

air dominance means you suppress the enemy air force and ground forces. on the first day in today's terms. it is not attrition warfare. we don't shoot down 1,000 of their air plains. we shoot all of theirs down and they don't shoot any of ours down. information dominance, not quite the same thing. it is more difficult. we are able to do it in iraq because iraq was not well organized and we had been surveying them for 10 years with operation northern watch and southern watch. in other wars in other countries we have to have the same information dominance. but we did have it. now here are some things that made the campaign in iraq unusual. the coalition forces took care to minimize collateral damage. very few times have countries gone to war and attempts to safeguard the enemy people and infrastructure. this might have been a mistake. we might have been given ainedcation we were weak. i hope this is not the case. damage was done to an already fragile infrastructure. the campaign was executed quickly and efficiently. there were more risks, had the iraqis bee

there is cold air to the north. but there's really warm air just off to our south. we're right in between the two. as this these fronts go through the next couple of days, we're going to pull down the colder air occasionally. and we're going to bring up that warmer air. that's what we're looking at for this forecast. for tonight, that colder air does come in. and because. that, a frost advisory is in effect. northern tier county here, as you go farther west into garrett county, we have a freeze warning in effect for the overnight hours. as we head into tomorrow afternoon, we've recovered pretty nicely once again. here's the next one that we'll be talking about. it's still out to our west and still gabing some -- gaining some strength. we'll see clouds coming in during the day tomorrow. then rains friday night into saturday. that gets out of here. and we may have another one sunday afternoon, with a chance for a few showers. but here's that first one. it's very elongated. and on sunday, the chance again for another little front to come through. and a couple of shower

oopt oops. >> you can see -- you can see this has very dry air, contrasting with very warm, moist air. and the thing is, this contrast was so big. and you add a really strong jet stream into it. and it spun up not only tornadoes, but long-lived, major tornadoes. we're talking on the order of ef4 and ef3. high-end tornadoes. as far as numbers go, we're hearing about an outbreak. this is a huge outbreak. alone on that date, on march 2nd, there were 80 sightings of tornadoes. you can see that was during the day. on average for the entire month of march, only 74. we had only a month worth of tornadoes in one day alone. and these were huge ones. as far as our weather goes, fortunately, none of that going on. we have snow showers making its way across the state. light snow, starting to leave us. but behind it, scattered rain and snow showers coming down. gusty northwest winds. and we will have your forecast coming up shortly. >> we're not done talking about the weather. back-to-back earthquakes shake the san francisco bay area,just before dawn. denise has the latest on the quakes. denise? >

there is no air. it is horrendous, so there has got to be compromise, and i think the neighborhood association has come up with a good compromise. of lower the building, and the business needs to figure out what they are going to do about parking, because it should not be that they take up all the parking on-street and people have to come to larkin and try to park there. it is a mess, so please consider with the neighborhood association of bozos -- what the neighborhood association proposes. it is not about view. it is about light, quality of life, raising families, and general quality of life. thank you. >> my name is robert, and i have provided of the area since 1978. i am also a principal in the property. during our tenure, we have seen much change in the fisherman's wharf area. we would like to contributed positively by employing thousands of city residents throughout those years. we are at the moment where we want to take our work and go to the next level. we have operated businesses out of the s

>> i can only speak to the air control alert mission. we will be able to mitigate the loss, i felt the loss was of the two standing alert on the two bases, was a loss that within my authorities and within the capability of norad commandser, i have the loss of the would bases it was not a loss of aircraft, and a loss of bases sit is -- sit ting alert on thoe two bases. >> any other effects that you have seen or analyzed? >> no, sir. >> let me go to cyber if i may. you answered one of the questions earlier about the task of defining criteria that would constitute an act of war in case of a cyber attack. mindsing is that those attacks are on going as we speak. not only against the defense industrial base, certain private sector elements but also our actually defense capabilities, and i wonder if you could be somewhat more precise about where you think we are in defining those criteria, you said that there was, and i'm using i don't really wourd, momentum toward that definition. >> yes, senator. ask recently as yesterday, i had a conversatio

over the past year, epa has set new clean air standards that will cut toxic air pollution from poweracilities. unfortunately, there are now efforts in this senate, we hear it, to block new mercury and air toxic standards. how many severe illnesses and even deaths will be prevented by epa's new pollution limits, please? >> the mercury and air toxic standards benefits are estimated to be up to 11,000 avoided premature deaths a year, once fully implemented, 130,000 asthma attacks or symptoms, cases that require attention, 2500 fewer cases of bronchitis, and i don't have the number of heart attacks here as well. but the numbers are quite significant. >> that's how it is with you bleeding hearts. what about the money? come on.

program, including children's health and disruption and air monitoring research. also as part of this request, epa includes funding increases into key areas that include green infrastructure and hydraulic fracturing. natural gas is an important resource which is abundant in the united states. but we must make sure the ways we extract it to do not risk the safety of public water supplies. this budget continues epa's ongoing directed hydraulic fracturing study. we're taking steps to ensure it's pier reviewed and based on strong and scientifically defensible data. building on these ongoing efforts, this budget requests $14 million in total to work collaboratively with the united states geological survey. the department of energy and other partners to assess questions regarding hydraulic fracturing. strong science means finding the answers to tough questions and epa's request does that. we are making investments to support standards for clean energy and efficiency in this budget. specifically, the budget supports epa's efforts to introduce cleaner vehicles and fuels a
