. >> dr. phil: it was a story that left many wondering how former candidate for governor cary dolego could end up penniless without a place to live and wandering the streets of a foreign country all in search of what some call a mail-order bride. let's find out what he was thinking. >> he once ran for high office in a race to be state governor in the u.s., but an american man who went to ukraine looking for love found only destituteion. >> all these women were respondents to my profile. i funded the trip by selling my motorcycle and truck. i quit my job at the bank and made the move. my plan was to meet, court and marry a lady in the ukraine. i proposed on the website and she accepted. living in the ukraine for about 4 1/2 months, my bank account in the u.s. dried up. i ran out of money. my land lady told me to leave. i was kicked out on the street, staying in the park. i got hypothermia, and i also had frostbite on my fingers and toes. when i became homeless, i emailed her for help. i was now

dr. george tiller of just shot. >> why did you kill him? >> the lives of those children were in imminent danger if someone did not stop george tiller. >> i was meant to have a cause. i was meant to have a purpose. >> mr. tiller set himself up as the abortion provider for all late-term abortions. >> some people despised him and some thought he was a great humanitarian providing a necessary service. >> reporter: the antiabortion movement had one mission in wichita, kansas, shut down dr. george tiller's clinic by any means necessary. >> their approach was to wear him down and peck at him from every angle. >> find out where the child killer lives. find out where his wife has her hair done. >> from harassing him personally at his home, harassing staff, patients coming into the clinic. >> he was a vile, despicable human being. he was a murderer. >> out there somewhere is one soul listening to all of this and wants to be the person that rights the wrong. >> if someone did not stop him they were

dr. tracey corey and her team decipher some mysterious deaths. >> the body is that of a normally developed, normally nourished white male. >> with rare access -- >> it is fractured. there's no question it's fractured. >> -- we'll show how coroners, medical examiners and death investigators -- >> there's a disk that normally goes in there. >> -- bring the truth to light. and they do it by letting the dead do the talking. >> the only way the victim can speak at that point is through the autopsy examination. that's really the last chance the victim has to speak. >> "dead men talking -- trail of evidence." february. it's midday and cold. a hunter and his dog are tracking game on deserted strip mining land southwest of louisville. >> buddy, here! buddy! >> suddenly, in the field, a scene from a horror movie. >> i stumbled up on a skeleton. there was a skull. in my heart i knew it was human. but you know, i didn't want to believe that. it definitely freaked me out, that's for sure. >> the skele

dr. ganz: and again, if we understand what the risk factor is or the environmental hazard or what the exposure is that leads to a specific mutation, then we can begin to link interventions in terms of reducing the risk of cancer. successive genetic changes must take place for a normal cell to change into a cancer cell. that's why the chances of developing cancer increase with age and with exposure to cancer causing substances, or carcinogens. harold varmus: obviously, environment also contributes to function and disease but knowing what genes are inherited by any organism is essential to a full understanding of how they operate and how they misfunction when disease occurs. only five to ten percent of all cancers are thought to be inherited. for instance, women with mothers or sisters who have breast cancer are at increased risk for developing the disease. i'd get it very early, and be very treatable... i wasn't surprised because both my mother and my grandmother had-- my maternal grandmot

and dr. jeffrey colder is director in the office of mine and safety health research with the national institute for occupational safety and health. before i recognize each of you for your testimony, i'll just remind you of the lights. i know all of you have been here. we've got a green light, yellow light and red light. green light will indicate that you have five minutes. the yellow light, you have one minute. and the red light, we would ask you to wrap-up your testimony. your entire written testimony will be included in the record. so you can summarize, if you would like. with that, we'll start with mr. shapiro. you're recognized, sir. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i will summarize my written statement that has already been provided. >> microphone. >> is it on now? okay. thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for inviting me to testify this morning. with respect to the oig report on allegations of retaliation and intimidation related to the ubb accident investigation. in march of 2011, we receive

dr. keim. let me ask you while the phrase is in my mind. what did you mean when you said we refer to undesirable political consequences from not publishing? >> well, so this was in the classified briefing, and so in this environment, we can't talk about it in detail, but there are many international collaborative projects going on in public health to try to control and predict and understand influenza pandemics. many of those political agreements are very fragile and i think it's fair to say that not releasing this information was seen as having a detrimental effect upon those fragile -- >> understood. okay. thank you. final witness is dr. thomas ingelsby, chief executive officer and director, center for biosecurity, university of pittsburgh medical center. welcome back. >> mr. chairman, thank you for the chance to speak to you today. i am the director for the center for biosecurity of upmc. i am an infectious disease physician by training and have seen many patients with influenza die, d

roberts. >> i recognize dr. >> thank you, dr. kohler, nish's panel found led to the tragedy and ignition of accumulated methane gas and the explosion of float coal dust. can you walk us through each one of those and find out and give me a synopsis where msha's involvement in respect to these had they been done properly could have prevented this? let's take friction ignition at the long wall sheer. describe what that is and tell what's could have been done. >> as the cutting drum is rotating, the cutting drum has cutting picks on it. and those picks tear into the coal and into the roof rock. when the picks in particular strike harder roof rock, you create some heat. and if the bits are dull or broken, you can create quite a bit of heat. and you can leave a thermal smear, which indeed can become hot enough to ignite methane. when that occurs, it's known as a frictional ignition. one question was there anything that could have been done to have previously detected through enforcement action to prevent the cutting drum from being in

dr. tracey corey, chief medical examiner for the state of kentucky, was instrumental in arranging for nbc news to come to louisville to learn about the different jobs that medical examiners and coroners do. coroners in kentucky, like bill lee, are elected law enforcement officials. they go to death scenes, take charge of the bodies, then try to help the families cope. medical examiners are forensic pathologists who perform autopsies to determine cause of death. possibly providing answers to grieving family members and criminal investigators alike. >> we're there to try to answer the questions of, how did this person die? when did this person die? what was happening during the death? >> dr. corey never could have imagined we'd be here for a one of a kind whodunit. with her office playing a unique starring role. that's because, as you'll see, the autopsy in this case will do much more than determine cause of death. in the end, forensic science utilized by the medical examiner, the real csi,

dr. itiel dror, a cognitive neuroscientist based in london, is one of the world's leading authorities on fingerprint analysis. he says that examiners can be influenced by bias. >> we're talking about bias that's unconscious? >> absolutely. >> we're not talking about a conscious conspiracy to match up the suspect with the fingerprint. >> absolutely, we're talking about dedicated, hard-working, honest, competent forensic examiners. >> bergman: dr. dror says this is cognitive bias. and in a study to show how strong that bias can be, he took real cases-- where examiners had found a match-- changed the descriptions of the crime and then asked the same examiners to analyze them again. >> i gave the same prints to the same examiner without their knowledge, and a large majority of the examiners said now it's not a match. >> so, in over half the cases, they would disagree with their former opinion? >> yes, it changed their perception and judgment, and over half said it is not a match. >> in the st

dr. inglesby, why don't you start first? >> i don't see at this point any proposal that would substantially improve the situation. i think it's very useful to have oversight like this on the development of the new policy because i think there are a lot of things along the way that are going to be challenging. for example, understanding the criteria for risk assessment and how we manage those risks is going to be very important. i think the composition responsibleties of the nsabb will be very important, so asking reasonable questions of government is very important. and i think in particular, paying attention to the very specific case of the trans misty research. i think the next issue is is going to come up soon unless there's a change in course. i think it will l come up again, so you have to pay attention to that. >> dr. keim. >> i guess i would reiterate what tom just said. the new policy is going to be very key. one thing that i think was an important role is we are an independent body. we're non government. i think it'

next, dr. paul keim, acting chairman of the aforementioned national science advisory board for biosecurity. we thank you very much, dr. keim for being here. and please proceed with your testimony now. >> chairman lieberman, thank you for holding this hearing on biological security, the risk of dual-use research. i am paul keim, the acting chair of the national science advisory board for biosecurity. i appreciate the opportunity to speak to you about dual-use research and in particular about the board's activities and our recent evaluation of two scientific papers concerning the avian h5n1 virus. it's been recognized for many years that science and technology can be used for both good purposes and bad. it is this two-sided coin that we refer to as dual-use research. the problem is that all biological research can be construed as having potential bad applications, as well as their good ones. the nsabb created a new term, dual-use research of concern or durc, as we've been saying, to distinguish n

dr.? >> can i add to the good news side of the story again. first of all, i think the h 5 n1 debate as painful as it has been has been somewhat useful internationally because people are paying attention to this issue. i think that has one good consequence is enlightenment or awakening in many parts of the world that weren't paying attention to this. the second point, at a science meeting two weeks ago when this question came up and there was concern that private foundations wouldn't follow the lead of the u.s. government in the new policy, a representative from one of the most important science foundations stood up and said let me make clear if the u.s. government is going to pursue this policy we have to intend to follow it ourselves and i imagine that others will. the third point of good news was an article published in nature magazine yesterday in one of the most important science journaling in the world which said that the u.s. is taking an important leadership position on this durc p

( baby crying ) we estimate that 300,000 health facilities do not have reliable electricity around the world. so this is a huge problem. >> reporter: berkeley, california, obstetrician dr. laura stachel has witnessed power outages and their often tragic consequences in health facilities throug

that became friend of dr. farwell and litigated some historyache cases in virginia that extend back to thomas jefferson in which church were not allowed to hold land like other corporations, and we ultimately got that overturned after a couple hundred year law under the united states constitution. and from those conversations with dr. farwell, we gap talking about the idea of a law school, and that was in the 1990s, and the law school opened in 2004, and dr. far well asked me to be the dean. i declined. he asked me a second time, i decleaned ex-and when he asked me the third time i ultimately became the dean of the law school in 2006. >> host: do you have another book? >> guest: i have one book in the process of developing. one is about the freedoms we have in america and also about activism and motivation i've been very moved by reading biographies of wilber force and others like him, and so my desire is to ultimately

dr. george f. bond who seen here in his coon skin cap and trench coat, you might wonder what does this guy have to do with the ocean? where's the diving gear? dr. bond was, actually started his career with a rural practice -- thus the hat and whatnot -- in the back of the blue ridge mountains serving a small community there. and i'm going to read you just a short piece from the book here to introduce captain bond, tell you a little bit about where he came from, and you can kind of see where i found him a fascinating character, already kind of an unlikely one to be somebody who was going to become known as the father of sealab. this is bond in the 1940s, and jumping back george was not quite 10 years old when his father died late in the summer of 1925, but the family could still afford a nanny, summer camps and private schools. as a teenager in pennsylvania, bond worked on the school's monthly literary magazine and became known as the class poet. he took up pipe smoking as a teen and devel

dr. greg forbes is the severe weather specialist at the weather channel. he's been on the air all day covering these storms from their atlanta headquarters. dr. forbes, we've been watching your coverage all afternoon and evening. and when people see this, they ask the same question, what's going on with our weather? how common is not only an early april tornado in texas, but an outbreak of them in the major metropolitan area? >> certainly in the metro area, that's really the odd thing today. it's been so localized. but on this date, april 3rd, 1974, we had the original super outbreak, 148 tornados in 24 hours. so early april can have these kind of tornados. i do have a graphic that shows why it was so much just texas today. a big spinning upper air low and its cold pocket, the leading edge pushing this cold front eastbound. it's mainly this red and blue stationery front, drifting winds, those are often the focal point, that ran right through dallas. that's why all the storms that were bas

dr. kahl? >> thanks to the world affairs council and thank you all for being inside on such a nice night. so thanks for being here. so in my brif remarks, i want to basically advance five main points. the first point i will make is that the iranian nuclear threat is certainly growing but it's not yet imminent. so it's premature to talk about military action at this point. u.s. and israeli intelligence officials agree that it would take iran at least a year from the time in which its supreme leader ayatollah ali ali khomeini makes the decision to go for a bomb, it would take at least a year for them to produce a crude testable device. it kolt a year total to generate a crude device and it would take several years for them to create a device so fphisticated enougho be put on the tip of a missile. although there's no doubt iran is positioning itself to have the capability to make this decision, u.s. intelligence officials have, testified that there's no evidence that the supreme leader has actuall

this is dr. bond is -- well, let's hear dr.ond, reading the sealab prayer. >> as they perform their duties below. and when their work as thy will be done. rest from our labors from time to come. we ask all this in the name of jesus christ our lord, amen. >> 30 days passed. >> so that was something that not all the guys were into, but for dr. bond, if he wanted to read a prayer on sundays, that was fine, and people respected him. people liked him, and some people enjoyed the service as well, but the spectacle of this kind of church service, and dr. bond had been a lay preacher back in the blue ridge mountains where he worked, so this was part of his habit and something became part of the sealab experience for those guys who were down there. and i want to get to q and a quickly, but i also want to just run this through. this is -- there's bob barth as a young man there helping a diver jump down. now, the reason they're not wearing gear and just swim suits -- i don't know if you can see this -- can't see it too well -- let me just

dr. roubideaux, let me call on our vice-chairman to give his opening remarks. >> thank you very much mr. chairman, and i appreciate the patience of the members of our panel as we went through a series of roll call votes. i want to thank you for holding this important hearing. once again, congress is examining a budget request for all federal programs including indian programs. so from within the shadow of enormous growing spending deficit, we look at the issues facing our country. as we see on both sides of the aisle an agreement there is no avoiding the problem anymore. and most, if not all agencies and programs will be called on to participate in the solution. we all recognize that the federal government has important responsibilities in indian country. safety, education, health care. just to name a few as senator franken previously mentioned. we all know carrying out these responsibilities requires money. this year and into the foreseeable future, decisions will receive ever-increasing

dr.effrey saver: a stroke really is an attack on the brain. a stroke is a damage to the brain due to blocking or rupture of a blood vessel leading to the brain. and in a stroke, either the brain is suddenly deprived of blood flow because an artery has been clogged or an artery has ruptured and blood is escaping directly into the brain. stroke is an age-related disease. most of its victims are middle-aged and older. dr. saver: the incidence of stroke approximately doubles for every decade over the age of 45. two-thirds of all strokes occur over the age of 65. but stroke is also not uncommon in mid-adult life, or even in childhood. and there are more strokes in patients under the age of 45 than there are cases of multiple sclerosis. the risk factors for stroke, in certain respects, resemble the risk factors for other cardiovascular diseases. dr. saver: high blood pressure, hypertension, is the number one modifiable risk factor for stroke. high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke fiv

dr., a psychiatrist who worked on revising the dsm that year. in 1973, he argued for taking being gay off the list of mental illnesses by saying, "many homosexuals are satisfied with their sexual orientation and demonstrate no generalized impairment." it does not sound revolutionary now, but it was back then. among the people rocked by this change in the dsm was an industry that claimed to be able to heal gay people of their supposed illness. suddenly, these folks were being told by the american psychiatric association, hey, you are trying to heal people who aren't sick. the anti-gay, "we can cure you" folks did stick around for years, for decades, even, but frankly, they were on the fringes of quackery, of pseudo religious, pseudo anti-gay politics. until something crazy happened. in 2001, this came out. can some gay men and lesbians change their sexual orientation? this was not published in some quack, fringe, wishful thinking anti-gay publication. it was not a vanity publishing thing.

dr. late -- late uncle martin luther king. welcome both to you. dr. king, so what do you think about all the demonstrations, the manifest indications, al sharpton, jesse jackson, what is your view of what is going on here? >> geraldo, i want to thank you for your coverage of this american tragedy, and america's youth are an endangered species, and african-american youth much loved by his family in his community. i commend his parents, tracy and sabrina, and all of his family community for taking the approach of we want justice, and they deserve justice, they deserve justice now, but to seek it in a peaceful, nonviolent manner. i believe my uncle, dr. martin luther king, jr. and if he could meet them he would commend them for their spirit in this matter. it is an injustice. it's very clear, i agree with sabrina and tracy that it has been an injustice and it has been very apparent and justice must prevail. always tempering justice with mercy. that doesn't mean that mr. zimmerman should not

dr. chernof? >> thank you, chairman kohl, ranking member corker for the opportunity to testify at this critical hearing today. my name is dr. bruce chernof, and i serve adds the president and ceo of the scan foundation, an independent nonprofit foundation dedicated to promoting a steady continuum of quality care for all seniors. where seniors receive integrated medical care in a setting most appropriate to their needs and with the greatest likelihood of contributing to a healthy and independent life. americans today are living longer than in previous generations, often with chronic conditions and functional impairments at older ages, which increases the number of people who will need long-term services and supports. most americans are not aware of the high likelihood of needing long-term services and supports at some point in their lives, and have few tools to plan for this reality. the cost of this care is substantial, impacting both family financial resources and the ability for family caregiver
