dr. clark, how many people in the united states have a disability? that number is not exactly clear, but we estimate roughly 53 million people have a disability, and it may be larger because, again, it turns on new classification schema. but at least 53 million. john, how do we define a disability? well, a disability is really kind of a legal and an administrative term. and in some quarters you might be considered disabled, but by another jurisdiction you might not be considered disabled. but i use the term, often, physical sensory, cognitive, and developmental disability to really clarify what we're talking about. so, barbara, in terms of a real sense, so there are individuals who may have had accidents are now paraplegic, quadriplegic- in terms of those with a substance use or mental illness, are they covered under the ada? yes, they are covered under the ada. the ada defines disability as someone who has a substantial limitation in a major life activity, a history of having a substantial lim

dr. clark, i want to move now to the affordable care act. under the affordable care act, there is this whole movement to integrate services. how is that going to work for individuals with disabilities? well, it actually may work to the advantage of individuals with disabilities. because the integrated continuum of care should foster, in the essential benefit package, comprehensive assessment of that individual's condition. so not only do you acknowledge the presence of the disability, but you also acknowledge the presence of the mental health or substance use issues. and then have to formulate a treatment strategy to address that, and that becomes very important. and there are, as you know, under the affordable care act components like health homes or high-risk situations with people with pre-existing conditions. so the-the-the effort is to get these conditions addressed and to get people involved in addressing those. there's also a prevention component under the affordable care act to stress a

dr. clarkwhat does research to practice mean and what does it mean for a methodology or a practice to be evidence-based? research to practice is a concept that captures the evolvement in the research community with regard to various aspects of, in this case, substance abuse or mental health care in an effort to increase the ability to positively affect the individual who's affected by it. so, evidence-based, then, is mobilizing administrative, clinical, and research information to enhance the quality of care and the effectiveness of care in order to produce the best outcomes associated with providing care, so when people present for care they're getting the best care possible. and, tom, in the field, how much of this is going on? what is the percentage of people that actually do evidence-based practice? well, it's a good question. as dr. clark said, nobody can argue that you need more evidence for the things that you do. every parent demands it for treatments for their children. every treatment

and, dr. clark, i want to go back and, as we're offering the audience a sense of where they can look for information and for training materials, talk a little bit to us about the addiction technology transfer centers and the wealth of information that they can provide. well, our addiction technology transfer centers work with community providers, state authorities, tribes and peers, so that they would have access to information. so, you go to our web site and you can find information about a wide range of strategies and issues. and the theme that keeps surfacing here is that as behavioral health is part of health, you can't deal with health without dealing with behavioral health, and our attcs help get that information. we also have what's called our national registries of effective critical practice or nrep, which allows people to identify clinical strategies that have been shown to work for a wide variety of populations. and so they can go to samhsa's web site and look up nrep and see what kind of

dr. clark and samhsa have been embracing and promoting for many years at samhsa, for example, screening, early intervention. you have person-centered or patient-centered in healthcare reform. you have integrated care, which for healthcare reform is primary and behavioral healthcare, whereas, in samhsa it's mental health and substance use. and then you have the continuum-of-care model, the chronic-care model, which would, in healthcare reform, be evidenced in the so-called patient integrated care health homes for the people on medicare with the definition of medicare being enlarged in 2014. and i really think that the way that healthcare reform is presenting as written right now is extremely friendly to the recovery support services model that i believe should be implemented. and really, what's going to be lacking, at least from my perspective, is the science base for the recovery, for the need for recovery support services, because whilst there are a lot of federal agencies-ondcp, of course, th

dr. clarkt we might apply to the surface and our drinking water supply. and in the case of nitrates in the ground water, it really has to do with something we're doing up on top of the soil where it may be an inappropriate amount of fertilizer being applied or maybe in a difficult area to try to control that. narrator: the problem of identifying specific sources of pollutants in the basin is complicated. by using data gathered from field research to build computer models, dr. graham and her colleagues can predict overall future trends. wh iclear is that if the population keeps increasing and nutrient levels in the water increase, then the water in the suwannee river basin will not be fit for human consumption. however, if land use is changed and pollution levels decrease, graham's models predict more positive outcomes. dr. graham: what we're trying to do with our models is fill the gaps between our observations. when we observe the environment, wee only seeing the conseqnces of what already hap

thank you, dr. clark, for the kind introduction. it's an honor to be standing here sharing my recovery story and representing the reality that recovery is possible at any age. i'm benjamin chen, a person in long term recovery. i have not used drugs a little over four and a half years.

it says dr. clark kerr has recently been formally inaugurated as president of the university of california, and as a consequence as the head of all eight campuses of the university located in both northern and southern california. dr. kerr has always given the impression that he is a, quote, liberal, end quote, in the educational field, that he is not in sympathy with loyalty oaths by state and university officials, and that he's also not in complete accord with the fact that various branches of the state and local government must conduct security investigations of individuals on the various campuses of the university of california, especially where those individuals take part in classified contracts. with this background in mind, the following is being brought to the attention of the bureau merely for its information. and in the event that the bureau may receive some inquiry concerning dr. kerr who at best is a highly controversial figure in california education. so that's 1958, and a few years later

dr. jonathan clark, the mission's medical director, has monitored his practice jumps. the most recent in july was from 97 feet, 18 miles above earth. his top speed, 536 miles per hour. >> and felix has landed safely back to earth. >> reporter: today's leap will be further, faster, uncharted territory for a human in free fall. >> we're going to be higher, leaner air, less dense air, easier to get fast, quick. so i don't anticipate that we'll have a problem, but we don't know until you actually do it. >> reporter: baumgartner is trying to break the record set by this jump in august 1960. air force captain joe kigginger leapt from an open air gondola basket. he proved in the early years in the space race that humans could withstand the rigors of a high altitude environment. kigginger is now 84 and has spent the last four years training baumgartner for today's jump. >> i know exactly how he's feeling and what he's going through. >> you couldn't just train anyone to do this, obviously. >> no, you could not. >> how unusual is it? >> it's unusual to find someone with the tale

dr. kirk who is at best a highly controversial figure of california education. that is 1958. a few years later there is another document which even more pointedly expressedes j. edgar hoover's view of clark kerr. this is dated march 20, 1961. it concerns a visit to the campus of someone named frank wilkinson who had been a housing official in los angeles and had been called to testify before the house un-american activities committee and refused. wilkinson was going to come to the campus and give a speech. certain people were very unhappy about this. this memo summarizes that and we see on the last page hoover's handwriting and his characteristic jagged score all, he writes i am absolutely opposed to this crowd of bleeding hearts at berkeley using the fbi to get off the hook. i know kerr is no good and i doubt the vice chancellor, is. that to me was an astonishing document. here was the head of the nation's largest law enforcement agency saying very bluntly that the head of his leading public university and one of the most eminent educators in america was rotten to the court essentially. is reflected the fbi's view of clark kerr. >> later intervened with lyndon johnson when he was consid
