government so what should we take away from this latest brush with mad cow disease joining me now is dr michael hansen senior staff scientist with the consumers union dr hansen welcome glad to be with you tom thank you for joining us from our offices in new york i believe your officials are saying that this latest case of mad cow is just a quote isolated incident and quote do you both believe this is an isolated incident or do you think that it's the start of an outbreak of mad cow disease. well i don't think this is an isolated incident because as you said they were randomly checking cattle and the reason some people say this is good because it didn't get into the food supply well the fact of the matter is they were only testing dead so this was a dead cow that was taken to a rendering plant it was an exhibit any symptoms that it was simply a dead cow and i understand there was twenty or thirty other cows that came in that were dead from this facility and the random testing caught it so if they buy they test forty thousand cows a year we slaughter. thirty four to thirty five million this repre

dr. michael. parents using technology to mitigate their teen's risk, and, dr. michael, i'm interested in what you see as the future of the software that blocks cell phone use by drivers because this is something that parents who are paying for the cell phones can install in their teens' phones. i'd be interested in your take on that and whether you think that's something that is likely to become successful and widespread, and i'm interested in the thoughts on whether there's a possibility of parents monitoring teen driving through systems like drive cam as an effective means to reducing distracted driving. >> with regard to the first part of the question, i think we need to look at every possible avenue, and this is a possible avenue, and we've begun to take a look at such technologies. it's clear that they need to be easy and efficient to use to gain popularity, and it's also clear that parents need to be motivated to use them, and we need to look at parental motivation as well as technology. >> parental notification is essential to these aspects and use coachi

dr. michael t. osterholm, director of the center for infectious disease research and policy at the university of minnesota. and an nsabb board member himself. in a letter to the nih he wrote the nsabb had ignored the voice of scientists who believed publication of the h5n1 research was dangerous. and i quote from his letter, i believe there was a bias toward finding a solution that was a lot less about a robust science and policy-based, risk-benefit analysis and more about how to get out of this difficult situation. he then added we can't just kick the can down the road without coming to grips with the very difficult task of managing. i know he was referring to the research. end of quote. so this is a serious charge which i hope as the morning goes on the panel will respond to. the publish or not publish debate continued earlier this month during a two-day conference of the world's leading scientists convened by the royal society in london. one point i learned a lot of the attendees seemed to agree

dr. michael baden, a forensic pathologist and fox news contributor.ef medical examiner at the time of etan's disappearance. what did you think? when you got this news yesterday, what was your reaction? >> well, my reaction is that i hope it's not another false alarm. there have been a number of false alarms that the family have been put through, and whether it's -- there's always been a thought that maybe he's alive someplace else which might be better information for the family than he's dead. but this can help resolve the matter. jenna: how difficult is it to, at this point, 30 years after a alleged crime took place, um, you know, what can you find if you're looking through the concrete of a basement? >> well, jenna, if body were placed there, there should still be skeletal remains, bones, dna, teeth which preserved the dna, clothing. if body is still there, they'll find evidence of the body, and they'll find enough evidence to determine the identity of whether this is etan patz or not. even if body was moved away, if the body was placed this and mo

dr. michael shepard, a senior physician in the office of health care inspections, and mr. larry rinkmeyer, director of the kansas city office audit. our review found that inaccuracies in data diminish the usability of information needed to fully assess current capacity, resource distribution and productivity across the v.a. system. in fiscal year 2011 and the perfo performance accountability report, 95% of first time patients received a full mental health evaluation within 14 days. however, we concluded that 14-day reported measure has no real value as an access to care measure, because vha measured how long it took to conduct the mental health evaluation, not how long the patient waited to receive that evaluation. we calculated the number of days between the first time the patients contacted and we projected only 49% or approximately 184,000 of these evaluations within 14 days. of either the veteran's request or a referral from mental health care. on average, it took vha about 50 days to provide the remaining patients their full evaluation. once vha provides the patient w

dr. michael baden joins us along with the host of the dr. steve show and joe matthews, former homicide detective and criminal investigator from miami beach, florida. welcome, gentlemen. all right, dr. baden if the fight that occurred before trayvon martin was shot is as severe as the zimmermans are leading us to believe what would you expect to see on trayvon's body? >> on trayvon's body. >> judge jeanine: on trayvon. >> first of all, a bull let hole that would tell the person doing the autopsy how far away the weapon was at the time of discharge and the position of the two people at the time of discharge which is very important. we don't know anything about that yet because they haven't released that report. usually in a severe struggle there may be injuries to the happens or face if they were struck. >> judge jeanine: let's take a look at this sound on tape. >> george was out of breath. he was barely conscious. his last thing he remembers doing was moving his head from the concrete to the grass so that if he was banged one more time he wou

dr. michael baden was chief medical examiner for new york city at the time of etan's disappearance. doctor baden, i will start with you. thanks for being with us this evening. >> good to see you. >> judge jeanine: 33 years later are. they are going at a cement floor with a jack hammer. what can they possibly find 33 years later? >> if the body were placed there 33 years ago there would still be he evidence of that. there would be clothing and bones and teeth. there would be the ability to get dna easily, the identity of the child, dna withstands all that. the cement tends to protect the body from water and oxygen that decomposes it. the problem will be if thed about body is there is to determine the cause of death but there should be no problem in identifying the remains if there are remains there. >> doctor, if there are remains are etan patz where they are degreing right now is it possible that they also could identify the killer from what they might find underneath the cement? >> probably not, the body and skeletal remains and teeth will remain for decades and decades. i have exh

dr. michael bodin says that concrete is the investigator's friend because it could preserve evidence. let me ask thu, 33 years later, this is your bred and butter, you investigate these cases fthey find out who is responsible for potentially, this child's murder, what do you think the chances are that he or she could be related to other case over all of these years? do those who commit these heinous crimes do it in iertion isolation or generally, are there are their a spring of crimes that may be solved? >> you know what? from my experience, there is a lot of repetitiveness with sex abusers and especially these children, sex abusers, they continue to do it. this is a sickness in their head. so there could be other crimes that the person who committed this crime have done before and still, when they let them out of jail, they become repetitive. every time a child goes missing in the great state of florida, it's one of the sex offenders that have a history. that's the problem here. they have a sickness in their brain and for some reason, it is not erased. maybe we should have a differen

dr. michael soman, the president of group health, is delighted with the results of this experiment. that for every dollar we spent to create the medical home, we saved $1.50. it wasn't just that we cut anything -- cut jobs, cut services, rationed -- it wasn't any of that. we saved money by the system acting like a system and having more appropriate utilization, the way patients would want it. that's because it's just more efficient to treat patients in the office or via email, than to put them in a hospital room or take them to emergency. it's worked so well that group health has embraced the medical home idea for all its medical centers. ♪ still on the shores of puget sound, we found another useful model just north of seattle, in everett, washington. this town is slightly higher than the national average in family income, and just about average when it comes to the number of people who are uninsured. the evert clinic is owned by the doctors, but they don't have their own insurance company or hospital. this clinic treats about 250,000 patients. here in everett, the structure's compl
