emily ra ves, marine laboratory, and paul michelle, superintendent of the monterey bay national marine sanctuary. thank you all for being here. emily, let's begin with you. what can be done about ocean acidification. >> we want to get at the cause of it, we need to reduce or ultimately eliminate our emissions of carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide is what dissolves into the surface waters of the ocean and causes the chemical changes that we're seeing. but there's a lot more than that. the carbon dioxide problem in the atmosphere is a global problem, but for communities, local communities, like those in monterey bay, like those in ta mauls bay we saw with the hog island oyster company in the package, they want to -- they care about the local marine ecosystem to them and what can they do about it? they can't necessarily control the carbon dioxide emissions of the entire planet. but we can think about the health of these local systems like the immune system of the human body. now we're entering into the fall. we're entering into the flu season. and we might want to start taking vitamins, sleep

merchant marine academy. the coast guard fought that. they respected the merchant marine. the coast guard asked merchant marine officers to accept commissions in the coast guard reserve, and many did. the coast guard was happy to have their knowledge and skill. commandantand, or roland, he assisted the navy in vietnam. boats an guard patrol d crews handled not only patrol boat missions, but explosive loading in that area. visit coastto guardsmen. commandant willard smith, 1950-1970, he had to facilitate the transition from the coast guard from the treasury department to the department of transportation. the coast guard didn't like that. lyndon johnson said, you'll do it or i will dismember your service. well, the coast guard said, we will do it if you let us maintain our peacekeeping missions and search-and-rescue and fishing imports, but let us maintain our credibility as a military service. okay, that happened. you'll notice wings on the uniform of the commandant. they went to pensacola and learn to fly planes on many missions. guardmandant, u.s. coast aviators were sent

for the marine corps, recapitalizing the entire fleet of marine aircraft. we are in the process of doing that about halfway through a process we started before 9/11, 2001. all right, so, about halfway through. executing the plan we started back in the late '90s and executing that plan now and we have been doing that, oh, by the way, engaged in 14 years of conflict, all right, combat, hard combat, to a large degrees, united states marine corps is still forward deployed and still thought and still fighting our deployment to dwell ratios very, very low, which is a bad thing. we are still at good if you want to be busy, bad if you are trying to recapitalize and reset the force. we are forward deployed. many of our tactical units are 1 to 212, the raise's edge of not being able to train the next wave of getting ready to go very, very busy. building the future for us, recapitalizing, i will talk about the platforms we are doing that. the other one is current readiness, future readiness, new stuff, current readiness the new stuff. being marines, being good steward

marine corps declared its version of the f-35 ready. it's ready to go to fight america's wars and defend american troops. but critics including some in the pentagon, say it has a long way to go before it can match the proven performances of the f-15s and 16s. tom christy served as a senior adviser for weapons testing does not mince words about the readiness of the f-35 for combat, including the marine corps version. do you think this plane is combat ready? >> no, absolutely not. that combat capability is years away, in my book. >> the marine corps version of the plane has safety problems, some so severe they could have flight critical effects. >> let's look at why this airplane is so dangerous to the pilot. >> okay. former engineer says beyond safety issues, the f-35 is also crippled by flaws which limit its utility in combat. problems stemming from the design requirements of the marine corps. the marines want a so-called jump jet, able to accompany troops on the lines. >> the airplane could rise virtually, could land virtually on a col

a marine even before he took the oath. randall smith, grandson of a navy veteran -- has been pointed out already -- a baseball star in his hometown, always smiling, always there for his friends. they say in his town someone, someone you always wanted to be around. lance corporal skip wells. devout. a friend to everyone. always there. always wanted to be a marine. to protect from the time he was a kid. his classmates in his hometown newspaper said, he was always looking out for the other guy. it was no surprise to anyone that knew them, anyone that grew up with them, that they chose the profession they did. it was stamped in their dna. being a sailor, being a marine, is not what they did, it was who they are. they each said, i will go. i am here. send me. i didn't have the privilege of knowing any of them personally, but i knew them. confident. committed. determined. trustworthy. passionate. and always, always loyal. i knew them. they were my son and so many other sons i know. they were, with the exception of sully, the 9/1

problems stemming from the design requirements of the marine corps. the marines want a so-called jump jet, able to accompany troops on the lines. >> the airplane could rise virtually, could land virtually on a column of jet air. that air is so hot, you can't even land on the main runway at the airport. the air will explode the concrete. >> what do you have to land this thing on? >> you have to get special high temperature ceramic type concrete. yet the whole excuse of this was the marines needed vertical takeoff so you could get up close to the troops. >> vertical takeoff and landing creates another problem. necessitating an enormous fan mounted in the plane's mid section that compromised the speed and agility. >> all the other services have to put up with that. to go super sonic, you have to go long and slender. sitting up here is a great big fan. it's huge. so this thing starts with a fuselage that's as fat as a pig. >> since all verges of the f-35 share the same frame, the performances are affected, too. >> the truth of the matter, we could never b

so these navy people had big placards saying, welcome, marines, when the marines came in afterwards. they said the marines were not that.with but after the war was over, the do, still had a job to because there were so many doctors,urses, soldiers, sailors, marines, all the world. and they were in the business now of transporting. they transported them in waves like seattle and pedro, the, san harbor in los angeles. after the war was over, the ship brought to the james river in virginia and was put into there, until the company that it was originally built for, the american export it.s, claimed and then it and three others of the ship were taken up to the northeast and they were refinished. all their armaments removed. the ship itself stayed exactly configuration that it originally had. kindhe superstructure that of -- the kind of deck structure changed remarkably. was put in the civiliancture now were kinds of spaces, a ballroom, for tea room. a different skyscraper look. ,n 1949, the ship was launched along with three other ships that were called the four aces. the american expert

he trained the merchant marine crews. all of the other services and franklin roosevelt gave them accommodations for brilliant leadership. signalman first-class serviceman douglas monroe. the coast guard had landing craft they would move from transport to show and put the other members of the armed forces into the jaws of death against the japanese and the germans. very dangerous duty. marines were placed on shore at guadalcanal and that flotilla got back to the transport and the coast guard captain said they are being surrounded by japanese and they are in a bad place and we should have known it. so the flotilla went back. the marines got to the coast guard landing craft and douglas monroe put his craft onshore with a machine gun to hold back the japanese and he was killed in action. he got the medal of honor. i give a speech one time at the admiral nimitz pacific war museum, and it was headed a by general mike hagey, former commandant of the marine corps who came up to me and said the marines know all about monroe. this

that commitment is the essence of sailors and marines it was demonstrated -- marines. it was demonstrated under the worst of circumstances on july 16, and it has not wavered since. still, we know it will take time for those with visible and invisible wounds to heal. the shock, the anger over what occurred last month will take us all time to deal with. because what happens defies cover pension cup -- defies -- comprehension. pain willat while the receive, it will never completely leave. we know that although it will shrink, the hole in our hearts will never completely close. -- we know that i although although we will heal, our navy and marine corps family will never again feel completely whole. .ive taken five husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, workmates, taken from us suddenly, vilely, cooley. -- cruelly. but what cannot be taken is our love and our memories. as we remember these individuals that we cherished, it will not be as victims. their lives cannot be determined by the terrible, inexplicable way they ended, but rather, by how they lived. served in the marine co

an impact will have on public opinion and play into the hands of marine le pen. ever since she took over the party in 2011, she has been trying to transform the party. she has been trying to steer it away from its racist and anti-semitic past, basically given a facelift, make it into a mainstream political party. she has always had a major ball and chain. that is her father, who represents the old party. this says she has managed to kill her father symbolically. this will be good for the party's image and make it a viable option for many voters. anchor: all of a sudden, the saga is over? >> it says don't write jean-marie le pen off yet. he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. he might be 87. he is tough as nails. you might have lost this battle. some are predicting he will wage total war on his daughter. essentially, he is threatening to set up a new party that could draw voters away from the national front. he is going to crash the national front's annual summer conference that will be held in september. he will probably still be a ball and chain for some time to

marines let me go out with them. i was surprised at the time, but someone reminded me later the marines love publicity. we all know the u.s. marine and they're the smallest branch of the service, so they need money, they need funding, they need to be important. the things that you describe calling in fire, that would be a violation of journalist ethics, but that was the first marines i went out with, the first people that allowed me to go out to a place when i arrived they were taking out bodies. i was like holy cow. i didn't think i would be in this hot of a place, but that evening, the marines -- we were being shelled. to combat the north vietnamese that were shelling our position, they were calling air strikes, so they asked me to call in the air strike. they wrote it out on paper. the pilots are navy pilots, so they can't see what's down below. i called in the air strike. this female voice saying in all technical language -- and it's wrong for a reporter to do that. i wanted to pay them back for helping me get st
