the concept will provide over time a set of capabilities that are usable by the entire formation. we are moving to a new concept how to field. today's army is in a cyclic readiness. so we'll focus our fielding on people when they return from combat, get them a kit they'll train with and deploy. the goal will be to put the network in terms, combat team is a division of many brigades and make it interoperable. one concept for network. it will not be scs unique, it will be usable for the entire army. >> we'll be back with you in a moment. now the focus is shifting from iraq and afghanistan what will the army need? we'll hear from lieutenant general steven speaks. you're watching this week in defense. at suntrust, we help you manage your money at home. and make it easy when you're away. and where ever you go, atm fees won't follow. get back to what really matters switch to suntrust checking today suntrust. live solid, bank solid. >>> we're back with lieutenant general speaks, the modern nation chief. let me ask you about some specific requirements that you have from the tight shifting

. >> a lot of the helicopter which was paid for already is usable and strip out the services from the thing. >> that's the best example. half of the money is spend and you have what, nine helicopters right now in inventory that are perfectly useful. let's go to the question of the larger army. the force has been growing. there was another authorization of. 2,000-- 22,000 strength to the army. is this just the tip of the iceberg or will we see many more troop end strength increases? >> no. because too expensive. each soldier costs what, 110,000 plus dollars a year. >> 1.4 billion per 10,000. >> and i think i recently mentioned that. and that's one of the reasons the army fought against increasing its strengths because personnel costs are already eating up every other part of the army's budget. and it's also not clear that you want a much bigger military. i know the advocates of it. but unless you assume we are going to have two infantry heavy commitments, which is a problem with iraq and afghanistan, it's not clear you need a bigger force and my guess is no. >> i don't think you can sa

. >> when it reaches that life limit, we have all of the usable components removed from the aircraftwe crunch the aircraft up and it gets recycled again and all of that metal gets reused. >> reporter: evergreen aviation recycles old planes and maintains and stores other, including younger jets parked here temporarily to wait out today's economic turbulence. planes like this brand new 777 cargo jet that came here straight from the boeing factory. with demand for freight down, the airline that ordered it more than two years ago, simply doesn't need need it at the moment. >> typically to operate a wide body aircraft is $7 million or $8 million per year, where you can store it here for $60,000, $70,000 per year. >> reporter: prompted first by high fuel prices and economic collapse in the fall, airlines have slashed capacity, cutting flights, retiring older gas guzzling planes and side lining others in hopes of stemming their staggering losses. >> this is an excellent location because one, the humidity runs down about 12% as an average for the year. we don't have hurricanes. we don't have

which can be turned into usable energy.ot only does it save money but also very green type of energy. >> thank you for that scientific explanation mr. wizard. >>> coming up next here on "good morning maryland" -- >> a camping trip turns into a dramatic rescue as a family waits six hours to be pulled from rushing floodwaters. >> a lot of waiting on planes, in roller coasters, in cars.

america is going to be destroys tens of thousands of perfectly usable cars, destroying essentially americans. a parody in economics which is to say you pay half of the economic economics to someone with bribes. we are destroying huge numbers of assets. why not put them on tankers, ship them into the third world and get the cash for cars aparts? you are destroying a whole set of assets and replacing them. that's going to be stimulative for a week or two or thee, but in the end, it's lunatic economics. bret: juan, the senators, democratic and republican senators who support this say it's better gas mileage for all these cars and good for the environment. what is the outtake of what you think is going to happen up there? >> well, i think it will take some time. the opposition is among democrats who want higher fuel efficiency standards put in place. they want more demand on auto -- on drivers, consumers, in terms of what they are putting on the road in the future. it's not about the program. the program is a fabulous success. let's count the ways. if you're talking about economic stimulus, my

so that, getting that information, that data online in usable form was sort of our first goal. and then developing tools on top of it so that any citizen could understand sometimes, you know, in the blink of an eye or, you know n a somewhat more complicated fashion exactly what was in this information. so we created web sites like open congress.org where tens of thousands of people now go to get information about pieces of legislation. not interpreted information, but actually text of bills where they're allowed to comment on legislation and see what other people are writing about legislation. , and indeed, even write to their legislators about information. so we've created databases and tools and web sites on top of that to enable anybody, public, bloggers, citizen journalists to have access to information about what's going on in our government. >> host: and i want to come back to open government, but is this information not put online by departments in the federal government or by the congress? >> guest: well, it's a mixed bag. some information you can only find in the basem

. >> it is usable? >> sure. >> are your thumbs too big to use a regular-size phone? >> no. >> okay.it possible this is going to ring? >> any time now. >> perfect. how's everything? how's everything going? >> good. >> you're enjoying doing the new show? >> yes. it's fun. >> what would make you think you could beat -- like who are some of the athletes you have competed against? >> first of all, every male sits at home and says i can do that every male is a coach potato bravado. so when michael phelps was doing his thing, one of my boys challenged me. do you think you can swim 25 meters before he swims 50? i said, of course. i took it to abc and they loved it. >> let me tell you something about myself when i watch michael phelps on television i don't think that. >> i could beat you at anything. >> you probably could. >> it's not a failure rate. can he go down and back before you go down. handicap. >> i've gotcha. so you get -- >> a little bit. a little bit of a handicap. >> because when we play basketball -- >> you get no handicap. >> i didn't get a handicap. >> no. i scored on you and

the economy, you build in the rational economic activity, so we are now destroying cars that are usablehe are of value, in order to satisfy a political ideology, and that is the danger. you keep doing that, and the bigger it becomes as a piece of our economy, the less efficiency, the poor we get. sean: -- the poorer we get. sean: they are going to give you millions of dollars to green a building you are going to knock down? >> the very first thing was to green a building. it is a federal building. they have announced it is for sale, and they are turning it down. sean: after the teachable moment and the beer summit, party i.d., approval, health-care numbers, every number wheezy for the president is going down and going down fairly dramatically -- every number we see for the president is going down. why? >> ifill lost a lot of white voters. -- he lost a lot of white voters. i think what is interesting about this president is he has tried so hard not to step into racial issues. he has been as pretty consistently by reporters, "what is it like being a black president? " he waded into it thi

hopefully, the red line could be beneficial to improving baltimore's poor public transportation image in usability. >> when person writes is a bad idea. extending the red line would extend other things. >> and one person shares those thoughts. i cannot get behind any thing this city does, nor do i care. it has lost its appeal. maybe this is an alternative to repairing the streets. you can go to our website to you more at wbaltv.com. what socialist -- what social class are you from? a former banker man's unexpected fall. and what will they do not want you to know. that is on oprah today. here is a look at what is coming up on the "today show." >> good morning. the date is on some very big stories we are following. the deadly shooting inside a sobor ran -- suburban pittsburgh health club. the store called is there live with the latest. he will talk exclusively -- lester holt is there exclusively and will talk to witnesses. and lisa ling and euna lee are heading home now after former president bill clinton secured their release. those stories and more when we get started on today. >> just ahead, we w

if they might have been water damaged, and we will not know whether there's any data that might be usable to us until those aircraft are recovered examined. we do expect to have some information that we could use from air traffic control radar data and other sources, even if we do not recover the black box -- even if we do not recover any recording device or an aircraft does not have a black box, the ntsb can still determine the cause of the accident and that's what we're here to do. >> the helicopter and a small plane, how far is it, what level did they fly through the airspace like this? >> the question was, is there any required separation between two aircraft and n. airspace like this? >> one of the things that the ntsb will be looking at is exactly where these aircraft were located at time of the collision. this is a vfr corridor that means visual flight rule prevail. you are supposed to be alert and see and avoid other aircraft in the vicinity. we will need to look at air traffic control information to see what kind of communication and the location and altitude of the aircrafts. >>

in the meantime, we're thrashing perfectly usable cars during a deep recession and literally doing itr no reason. i mean, not for the environment, certainly. there are reports now that global warming impact of cash for clunkers amounts to one hour of emissions for this country per year. one hour. that means is a savings of .01% per year, meaning we could achieve the democrats' overall goal of reducing emissions or for the low, low, low, low price of just over $7 trillion. but what about stimulating the economy? reuters now says more than half of the 250,000 cars would have been sold anyway, and what about the american people? a new rasmussen report poll shows 54% of americans oppose the extension of additional funds to cash for clunkers. while only 26% support it. what do you think congress is going to do? the other thing is toyota. toyota makes 2 grand per vehicle. when they get $4,000 from the government, at least half of that is going to profits. now, me being the capitalist, i have no problem with profit, i'd rather not take it from the taxpayers by force and give it to companies,

we think it's pretty, usable information. cover your cough, wash your hands, stay at home if you're sick. get your immunizations. so again, 5:15 p.m., wtop, 104 something on your dial. so if you listen to my remarks, i really want to talk a little bit about state perspectives and strategies. our strategie strategies for pac influenza. the emergence of this in the spring of 2009, led us to sort of a reality check in terms of what our response efforts were going to be for this resurgence of an unpredictable resurgence of the virus this fall. and really coming up with more integrated planning efforts at the state and local level. and as we saw h1n1 manifest itself in the spring, there are many questions that we -- you know, that were left unanswered. i talked about the schools a little bit, talked about how we continue central government services, how will mass immunizations be implemented, how we will communicate to individuals, families and communities and i think that's important and i think steve alluded to this. this can't

the particular time out there for low skilled individuals is geared towards children and it's not usablefor adults reallthe. >> one other thing i would like to -- we touched on the concept of career pathways earlier in the preseation. one thing that i think is very, very difficult, particularly for low skilled workers, is in order to do -- youeally do have to go to one institution and get one kind of training and then go another institution and get another kind of training and maybe the first kind of -- the adult education, the basic skills that you got doesn't translate to the -- to another -- to the josh training world or doesn't translate to higher education, post secondary education, so to the extent that we can develop an on-line educational and work force strategy, that makes that process more seamless, that lps bridge -- this is is across agency, cross-system problem, that if you're an individual learner trying to find the skills and education, it's not very obvious to you, so the way we can sort of stitch it together and do that work for you, so with i can kind of figure out what

have an interest in us any good usable website. our bush's call for the site is to -- are ambitious goal for the site is that every teacher- educator who is teaching students have become teachers would want to show this to their students as a great example. with that lofty goal in mind and that lofty goal expressed to the educators in this on my community, we have said about asking questions and saying where we're headed and asking what we need to do to get there. right off the bat, we did something else to expand this community. as soon as we invited the initial set of colleagues, we also invited them to invite their colleagues. we tried to keep this multiplying off the bat because we know that the people we invited our stakeholders. they are interested but we know from working with them that they are on the same wavelength as us. they believe in the teaching value of primary sources. we knew that they would choose educators on the same wavelength, as well. we are trying to expend a community that way. since then, we have also pos

because the software is not usable by screen readers. online course work does a lot of video.the video isn't caption, then people who are deaf or hard of hearing may not be able to take advantage of it. if the flow of the content doesn't adjust for cognitive disabilities, from mental retardation on, learning disalities to dyslexia, we are going to miss a whole population of fol who cannot take advantage of it. it is usually the last thing thought about. when you mention universal design, i have a concept of universal design that is universal, in that everybody needs to take advantage of that. i also find the vendors think about this last. within the federal government we do a lot of procurement and don't pay attention to the law that says procurement must be accessible according to the 508 standard of the real devastation act, everything from our online course work. it is easier to create it up front end it is cheaper to create it up front than it is to retrofit it o the back end, particularly for cours work that uses a lot of video links, made link to inaccessible websites th

and one thing that's happening is that completely usable cars are being destroyed and, you know, even the environmental benefits here. in fact, if people were not buying cars and buying something else entirely, that probably would be better for the environmental bottom line. steve: yeah. interesting stuff. all right, michelle malkin joining us today from denver. thank you very much. do you think you said anything in your two segment blocks here that will result on you being flagged to the white house today? >> i have probably got 100 flags by my name and you guys have 50 today. peter: i have put a call in to the truth police and they will be contacting you very, very soon. the truth police are on the way. do you hear the sirens? gretchen: michelle, great. always great to sigh. >> thanks, you too. gretchen: stimulus spending was supposed to keep americans at work. unfortunately the unemployment number keeps rising. where is all the cash going? steve: you know how the former gitmo detainees were sent to live in paradise. now they are spending time at a luxury golf course. what? the weid

explained today, we ha heard of aut cost being a barrier or access in one way or another, and in usabilityhis is the first i think if you have really mentioned sort of the relevant point that there isn't a lot ofeople who are not using broadband right now because they don't see the point a. and particularly given all the benefits that you all talked about him a job training and education perspective. i wanted to hear yr thoughts on, you, what we can do and what you are doing on your own to do outreach and make people understand the benefits of this to incree adoption that they understand the relevance of it. >> i think, you know, given the experience, somebody hasn't experienced something, whether they are a displaced worker with low skills and a rural area where there is, you know, high vel poverty, etc., given them the expense to the community, through libraries, through community activism, etc., their eyes will light up when they see what's possible when they expects the technology. and in the next up is how do you make educational park accessible to them? you do, so we have a lot displ

getting that data on line in a usable form is the 1st goal and then to develop tools on top of that so any citizen can understand -- sometimes in the blink of an eye or in a more complicated fashion, what is in this information. we created websites like open congress.org, where tens of thousands of people go to get information about legislation, not interpreted information, but the text of bills were they to comment on legislation and see what other people are writing. they can even write to their legislators about information. we have created these databases and tools and websites on top of that to enable anybody, public, journalists, susan journalists, to have access to information about what is going on -- citizen journalists to have access to ever made about what is going on. >> is this information not put on line by government departments or congress? >> it is a mixed bag. some of these things you could only find in the basements of obscure or not so obscure government agencies or offices of congress. it is only in paper form or unless you go to washington or have a high-priced lo

there is a single distributor that will certainly be mix usable, public and private sides.e fed said they are going to cover the vaccine and related supply cost. the america's health insurance plan i understand have announced that their insurance plans will cover reimbursement for administration, for the usual members on the usual routes, and we also expect to have the mayor russell three available for younger kids and pregnant women as we go forward in a single post delivery files. so that will hopefully address many of the concerns people have around distribution and availability. again we know we don't -- it isn't coming in to the timeliness we thought it would so that's going to be an issue as we go through this. we had expected to have 195 million doses by december. we still expect to be there. we also -- we expect it to have by the middle of october october 120 million doses. at least newspaper reports said there's going to be more like 45 million doses in other words it is going to come out of the hopper slowly. but theoretically if this was a normal influenza season
