why does the marine corps and air force that has the navy? army neededthe navy on air force? oes back to world war mccahill ii. the marine corps felt abandoned on the pacific islands. since then, theve insisted on bringing their own combat aviation to fight. if you look at iraq and afghanistan, there were persistent on bringing their own helicopters, their own jets. what --nes, because of their desire to bring their own aircraft, going to part of the country that was far less significant than where they should have gone. it is that same thinking that drives the marines to want the half-35. we need to have the same kind of combat aviation gear force on the marines do. did they really? the marine corps really need to be able to participate in the first strike attack? those of the fundamental questions that membs congress do when it comes to looking at programs like this. >> has the navy landed one of these f-35 summit carrier yet? >> no. >> the actual plane is never seen with the arresting gear. ♪ ♪ >> that is from the lockheed martin website. >why can a plant on a carrier? >> t

the problem. we have operators other than need to be educated, air traffic controllers. e do not have the same issue we have that somebody might open an e-mail because the e-mail system is a different system than the air traffic control system, obviously. but if we cannot recognize that a threat is happening then we cannot react. we are trying to educate on a operational level first of all what a threat looks like, how to deal with a threat, and then a managerial level. what do we do throughout the system once or recognize a threat? we shut it down? do we have the capability of isolating it? how many systems are effective? so what my organization is doing now, we have another one in june, in other cybersecurity day where we talk about lessons learned from the first two, talking about the president's executive order, talking about do toay be the faa can better beefed-up management of cybersecurity. >> said you work with an essay or dhs? >> we do not. what we advocate and what we think is the right solution is the faa, the government agency, they need to work with those bod

the problem. we have operators out there that need to be educated as air traffic controllers. e don't have the same vision that you have a somebody might open an e-mail because the system is a different system than the air traffic control system obviously. but if we don't, we can't recognize that a threat is happening then we can't react to it so we are trying to educate on the operational level 1 of all. what a threat looks like and how to deal with the threat and the managerial level. what do we do throughout the whole system once we recognize the threat? >> we shut it down? how do we isolated? do we have the capability of isolating a? how many different systems are effective? those are the technical things. what my organization is doing now, another one coming up in june, we have another so cybersecurity day. what did we learn from the first one talking about the president's executive order in talking about what may be the agency the faa can do to better management of cybersecurity? >> host: do you work with nsa like tom kuhn said? >> guest: we don't. what we advocate and wh

getting extremely clean air is somewhat less important. also, as thengeles case shows, producing somewhat cleaner air is not too expensive, while producing very, very clean air would have been disastrously costly. so what the economist says is apparently fairly simple -- keep on cleaning up the air until the added -- the marginal social costs begin to exceed the added -- the marginal social benefits, until the intersection of these two curves. i say "apparently simple" because measuring these social costs and benefits is not always that easy. schoumacher: from the 1990s and into the new millennium, we saw record floods, record high temperatures, more crop failures, longer droughts, melting polar ice caps, rising seas. most climatologists, though certainly not all, ree that thrising tperatures of the past several decades -- a phenomenon known as global warming -- are due to human activity. but there's more general agreement that the social and economic ramifications of trying to do something about the problem are enormous. both politicians and economist

in the air right now, is is there any sense, can you smell any gas? >> reporter: no, i mean, we talked about the weather. the weather is going to be a factor and continue to be so. we've been buffeted by high winds throughout the evening. it's good and bad. it's all coming from one direction, so it means the potential for fumes are being driven over one specific part of town, that's the part that's been evacuated or in the process. but there's a shift anticipated coming with a storm line that's going to pass through here. that could expand the area. the winds are helping to dissipate the gas, if it does exist. the problem is, the winds are also going to change and now begin affecting another area. directly here at the command post where we are, no, we have not felt any impact. of course, they will be watching very closely. >> martin savidge in the town of west texas right now. on the phone is the mayor of that town, mayor tommy muska. our hearts go out to you and the entire nation for those in west texas. can you give us the latest? >> thank you very m

peept dumont is president and ceo of the air traffic control association. mr. dumont, your answer to that question. >> guest: there have been some attacks on the system. ta abt becau it'spublicized and confidential information and, obviously, you don't want too many people to know how the air traffic control system works. it's difficult to explain air traffic control in a sound bite. it's happened up in alaska, and what's being done now is we have very ancient infrastructure for air traffic control. it's been around since late '50s, early '60s, and it's a mix of different equipment. so it's very insecure. right now we're in a modernization phase where we're modernizing, moving from a land-based air traffic control system to space-based; satellites, gps, that type of thing. as we do that, we need to look at how we're going to prevent cyber attacks, how we're going to keep people from getting into the system. so basically right now it's education. it's letting people know what to look for, how to identify threats, what threats look like, what they might be and wha

warm air means the molecules-- cold air means the molecules-- yeah? and which kind of air do you think you can get one molecule tap in the next, the next, the next? by the way, you know how sound travels, don't you? when i strike the tuning fork, vibrates back and forth. doesn't it hit a molecule, another molecule hit another, another, another and doesn't it cascade through? picture the whole room with ping-pong balls right now. i take a big paddle and i-- wouldn't those balls hit one another? now, one ball here fly across the room. when i speak to you and go, "hello." it's not like the molecule come right across hit your ears. "oh, it sound like-- that doesn't happen. does it? what happens when i say hello? i just-- all the molecules start moving. like the ping-pong balls go-- can you see them all moving in your minds eye? how many say, "no, i can't picture that. "you'd have to show me more. i just can't picture things like--" show a hands. okay. now, that's what happen. so anyway, what do you think? warm air or cold air communicate the sound faster?

it's time to clear the air about this dirty little secret. the truth is, if your vacuum does not have a system that is completely sealed, then the dust and allergens you vacuum up escape back into the air before they even reach the hepa filter. that's bad news because allergy and asthma experts such as the american academy of allergy, asthma and immunology agree, even low levels of particle pollution can be damaging to people with allergies and put children, teens and seniors at risk for things like asthma. but the shark rotator lift-away's complete seal technology locks in 99.99% of dust and allergens. that's great news for pet owners and people with allergies. so it's no wonder the shark rotator has been certified by the british allergy foundation. compare the dyson to the new rotator lift-away. both give you a system that's completely sealed, both provide powerful pet hair cleanup with superior no loss of suction technology and swivel steering. but the new shark rotator lift-away gives you so much more because all this no loss of suction po
