then the air national guard accused the active duty air force of lying to congress of why it killed theplane, suggesting the decision was made to close guard units and their bases. defense news reporter marcus weiss gerber and industry expert richard offlovei of the teal group are here to tell us what's going on. welcome back to the show. mark, let me start with you. how come such a small program is causing a big concern? >> there's a lot. first off, you have an industry angle where you have a u.s. air force contract and an italian company trying to break into the market. this is the one program they have and they're losing it. >> that was originally 150 airplanes that got whittled down to 38 and now it's at 21. >>> it was over 100, and it was in the 70s when it was an air force army program. you have the air force/army dynamic. the air force is doing a mission that was historically done by the army and now they, the army was scared when the program was transferred to the air force at the beginning and said if you give this to the air force, they're not -- they're going to cancel this p

not the chair of the air force scientific advisory board but rather the claire of the study. what i'll do is lay out the foundation of that study and its formation a little bit about its process, some about the recommendations, but i think you have in your press package there the complete list of findings and recommendations so i won't go through each of those with you. first of all with respect to the formation of the air force scientific advisory board from 2008, april 2008 until may 2010, the air force experienced 14 physiological incidents with the fleet of f-22s. each of those incidents was thoroughly investigated through the normal air force safety and investigation processes. but of those incidents, ten, as a result of the investigations done, did not reveal a root cause, and that -- the point that general jones mentioned, was what concerned the air force. now in terms of numbers, at that -- at the time of that last incident, the 14th incident last may, the air force had flown about 100,000 hours in the f-22 fleet. so that equates to one unexplained incident of every 1

it gives it to the surrounding air. and as the ice freezes, it heats up the air, and it keeps that air at a nice, steady zero. just like your water boiling stays at a hundred all the time. in this, you'll keep your air at zero degrees. and your crops aren't gonna freeze at zero. you know why? you could get sugar and salt in those jars, and that sugar and salt will lower the freezing point to below zero. and so the only thing it would freeze at zero is the stuff in that can-- in that big pot or other jars of water. but the jars of water, all that sugar and salt, so they're okay. in this case, we change a state. you go this way, you get energy out. that energy will help you. go this way, energy in. a friend just got burned. said, "oh, my god, i don't know if he got burned with steam or boiling water." but they're both the same temperature, so the burns must be the same. what do you say? "honey, they're not the same. "because if it was a steam burn, i don't wanna hear it was a steam burn." if it was a steam burn, that steam

that could put your private communications into the hands of the government then a study done by the u.s. air force gives us insight into the work of drone operators talk about the technical and moral issues that state and then if you ever heard of nutra loaf common prison food but it made one inmate so sick that a court has agreed to question it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment so we have all of that i'm more feed right including a dose of happy hour but first take a look what the mainstream media has decided to me. all right so it's another tuesday and another primary day and therefore another news day full of nonstop election coverage coming from the mainstream media. it is primary day in maryland washington d.c. and in wisconsin voters heading to the polls in wisconsin maryland and washington d.c. mitt romney's out in force in wisconsin today three primary and in all three wisconsin maryland washington d.c. mitt romney is expected to win he looks to defect rick santorum challenge once and for all in wisconsin in a decisive win to destroy certain forms case for staying in t

in their letter they mentioned that the air guard provides 35% of the u.s. air force's capability for the budget. they also mention in the letter that we must oppose the proposal that the air national guard absorbed 59% of the total aircraft budget reductions and approximately six times the per capita personnel reductions. could you talk a little bit about that approach? >> sure. the main thing that we did want to maintain a strong guard and a strong reserve. and the fact is that we are going to be maintaining the guard at basically the same current levels. we're going to maintain the reserve at the same levels. with regards to the air guard, which is an area that the air force focused on, in the past they have made cuts with regards to the active duty force itself in terms of planes. they did not focus on the reserves and the guard operation. they decided to look at those particularly with regards to planes like the a-10s and again, looked at what, you know, are these planes multimission. can they perform the kind of role we need with the new agility that we

what it measures is aerosol particles, which are the very fine particles in the air. as we fly, it's in front of the plane, because there would be engine exhaust if it was further back, so it sees the air first. aerosol air comes through this probe, and what is detected is the size of the particles. by simultaneously and collaboratively gathering their data, the scientists will have better information to create new models for predicting the transport of pollution over wide geographic areas. molina: the objective of this study, of milagro, is to follow the plumes and find out where and how and when the plumes are transported to other regions. and so it is very important for us not only just to look at one site, but to look at various sites. narrator: to study the movement of plumes, the researchers have three main fixed ground sites -- "t0," located in the center of the city, and t1 and t2, two points north of the city where the prevailing winds are expected to carry the plumes. at these sites, research teams measure trace gases, aerosol concentrations, and solar-radiat

the air force, as well as the navy, who uses on board oxygen generation systems well in several of its aircraft and what i would consider to be a completely collaborative relationship with the primary equipment manufacturers in this case, lockheed martin, boeing and honeywell, all of whom, in my view, totally focused on providing the people we needed and the assets we needed to try to get to the bottom of the problem. now we also took the results of the ground test that general hogue and his team had run and his recommendations for dynamic airborne tests because some of the things that were occurring in the aircraft, in the incidents, happened in the air, could not be repeated on the ground, and during the -- what i would say is very extensive challenge tests to the life support system and particularly the onboard oxygen generation system. they believe that they needed to specially instrument f-22 and get it in the air to determine whether we could find repeats of some of the incidents that had occurred and help us get the root cause. so we took their base sick results from the ground

we look, listen, and feel and open the air way and we look to see if the chest is rising and listen to feel air and how long do we check for actually? american red cross o says about ten seconds and if they are not breathing we readjust the air way and check for ten seconds again and not breathing for the secretarsecond time we said say and you check the air ways twic and when you know someone is dead you move on. let's go through the categories. walking wounded and anybody tha follows directions and get up and walk and it's green. d is delayed and anybody that i injured but we don't think it's life-threatening. i is the people that need treatment right now and d is th dead and black and during triag you open an air way and how lon does that take? two seconds and it takes ten seconds to check and bleeding - the only bleeding i want you to treat during triage are arteria bleeding and spurting out and you could bleed to death in about three minutes and shock and if the person is unconsciou on the chair and how do i treat for shock? lay down and lift the feet and cover you and takes ten -
