dr. candace peterson, associate scientist, evaluation shared service, university of wisconsin population health institute, madison, wisconsin. dr. clark, what 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 f

dr. peterson's also commended the idea. that's a big help. whether one is for or against yucca mountain, we need to move ahead. we still need consolidation sites. we have some places around the country, on the 65 sites where we have used nuclear fuel, where there are no plants anymore. and those would be obvious places where we ought to move that used nuclear fuel to consolidation sites. and it's our responsible. senator barrasso said, i mean, under the law, it's our job to get the waste and take care of it. and we're not doing that and the government is liable for that. that's another reason to break the stalemate. another reason to break the stalemate, even if yucca mountain were open today, we'd need a second repository quickly because the stuff we have would fill up yucca mountain if it were open. we need to move ahead. we need to break the stalemate. i'm appreciate if of senator carper and barrasso. i thank senator feinstein and murkowski for their leadership. we know fuel is safely stored. it can be stored there for a long time. maybe 1

dr. peterson? >> thank you, thank you, general scowcroft. the vote started at 10:30. we're about five minutes into the vote, but i would like for you to be able to complete your testimony then we'll take a short recess. >> so continuing with the disposal, as a key element of consent-based siting, disposal facilities, the commission believes before any new disposal site is selected, a new site independent safety standard should be developed so the commission has recommended the environmental protection agency and the nuclear regulatory commission which this committee has jurisdiction over should begin working together to define an appropriate process for developing a generic disposal facility safety standard and associate the implementing regulations. the fifth recommendation relates to prompt efforts to develop one or more consolidated storage facilities. developing consolidated storage capacity would allow the federal government to begin the orderly transfer of spent fuel from reactor sites to safe and secured centralized facilities independent of the schedule for op

dr. peterson, i want to go to you because you've mentioned some of the issues that the physicians are facing in terms of when they do their screening and so on, and you also mentioned off camera that you were attempting to work with them on motivational interviewing skills. you want to talk a little bit about that? yeah, and i'm speaking from my experience working with trying to implement sbirt into primary healthcare settings and emergency departments or emergency room settings in wisconsin. one of the things that was very difficult in terms of the implementation, one i mentioned earlier, that busy physicians, it's very difficult for them to find time. the very brief screening itself, however, you can do universally to everybody who walks in the office in a very short period of time. pencil and paper are up on a kiosk. that will give you enough information to know what to do with that person next. that, in itself, doesn't take the time, but talking to patients does. in wisconsin, we used paraprofessionals that we trained very intensively to work with people, and that was very effective. the

dr. peterson, would you chip in for the bill if it is true?ly would chip in for the bill because i don't think he's going to have to buy him dinner. i think what you're going to find out is this is something reagan said rhetorically, but certainly didn't mean it literally. already research is embargo out he took national security meetings over the course of his first 100 days. bottom line, it's apples and oranges anyway. the things the next president is going to have to deal with in terms of syria and all these other issues developing around the world is one piece of it. so foreign policy is going to be very, very important. but also, our economy is quite different. this is a globalized economy. you are required in terms of working and focusing on the national economy to think very, very seriously about things that are going on globally. again, it goes to some of the reasons why some of the conservatives are so disappointed in mitt romney because there are serious issues and questions about his competency about a politician. though things just

dr. james peterson, an associate professor, good afternoon to all of you. start with you. can you help us understand these 501 c4s? they're what allow corporations and billionaires to donate money with complete secrecy because the the tax code says groups like karl rove's cross roads gps are social welfare organizations. that's ridiculous, isn't it? >> it is. that social welfare becomes political war far awfully quick. quite hard to come up with these examples because you're right, the disclosure is minimal. but what examples we have are phony political ads for example. ginned up to character assassinate various people running for office. i've worked for non-profit organizations, many of which are dedicated to -- >> education. indeed. >> information on education, poverty, things like that. >> did they spend 25 million hammering a candidate? >> never in my career has anything like that happened. >> karen, the "huffington post" is now reporting that karl rove was the featured speaker at a luncheon hosted by tag romney's private equity firm. rove reportedly ta

dr. james peterson from lehigh university. good to see you. look.didn't douglass strike right at the heart of this? we celebrate america. >> this speech is one of the classic speeches in american history. i would encourage viewers to read its to better appreciate the irony rock is getting at in the tweet. this is why we love twitter too. these remarks can be sort of realized about deep issues in this case the irony of black folks celebrating independence day. it's not we don't celebrate it. it's we also have to commemorate the fact our ancestors had to transcend violence and brutality and oppression for years to tap into what's called the american dream. >> perhaps if the sublime of douglass. here's cain on the chris rock tweet. >> i think it was chris rock who made fun of the fact, well, it might be independence day but the slaves weren't free then. look at it this way. if america had not become independent, slaves might still be slaves. america's ability to overcome those things that it needed to overcome is one of the greatest attributes of this

dr. peterson reiterate that call. the same for protection standards. the brk was correct that it should be generic. that is applicable to all sites. but with respect we're very pleased that they were explicit today that such standards must be in final form before the process begins. why do we feel so strongly about this? short circuiting the site selection process and gerrymandering led directly to the loss of support from nevada, substantially diminished congressable backing except to ensure that the proposed site remain the sole option. further, we expect any such generic standards will be subject to adverse pressure ap plied by the office of management and budget, other involved agencies and perhaps industry. altering regulatory standards in order to allow a site to be licensed which is happened repeatedly with yucca mountain. it takes us to point two. the brc's emphasis on a consent based approach was a step in the right direction. i'm pleased to hear so many members of the panel amplify that today. the commission studied what worked and what didn'

dr. peterson, your thoughts on that question? >> i think that in our report we essentially recognize that this is the major issue and so the final report does address it more specifically in the sense that it points out that in the end the ability to opt out and what the conditions would be and whether it -- how long should it be unconditional is left to be a matter of negotiation between the federal government and the states because, for example, if you're going to enter into a mortgage to purchase a house, there's points in time where you make decisions and such. but in this case, by having that be one of the most important but key elements of negotiation, you can preserve an unconditional opt out and then, of koirs, if any safety issues arise associated with the site, there should be an immediate ability to put a brake on the whole thing until things are fixed. but this is something that, in the phase adaptive approach, needs to be worked out as part of a negotiation. >> and i think, senator karper, he's pointed out an issue h

dr. peterson and general scowcroft outlined which was to methodically work through the process of creating new legislation. that's criteria. >> thanks so much. >> from what i heard, i tend to agree. i believe with a lot of what he's laid out. that, i mean, i think it's sensible. >> i would agree that what he's laid out makes good deal of sense. >> okay. >> mr. miller? dr. miller? >> i would certainly agree, and my board has certainly taken the position there are no technical impediments to developing a repository. >> another question for you, mr. metlay. you mentioned an amendment to the nuclear waste policy act. could you take a minute, i don't think you mentioned this in your testimony, but take a minute if you will and talk more about the negotiators' intended role and is this something we should or could pursue this time around? if you could. and be fairly brief in your response. be brief in your response. >> certainly. the negotiators as you said was established as part of the 1987 amendments act. it was given a broad charter to negotiate with any state or native-american tribe, an ag

dr. james peterson and associate professor at lehigh university. we heard both the messages were fairly religious and very personal and dana, when have you heard of this before where two presidential campaigns stopped their activities because of perhaps some political fall that may have happened should they continue? >> it happens from time to time, richard. during the 2004 campaign when ronald reagan died, there was a pause for that. sometimes, it happens for more political reasons. i think everybody remembers in 2008 when john mccain suspended his campaign because of the collapse in the markets and barack obama famously decided not to go along with that. but you know, there's sort of no choice for the candidates at this point and nobody wants to campaign when something like this is going on. it's a pause. everybody knows it's a very brief pause and they'll be at each other's throat. it's a shame in a way it takes the tragedy like this to get people to realize we're all americans and human beings. >> and james, it is a time for a pause, to think a

dr. james peterson. good day to you all. let's start with the marvin gaye subsection here. and tax returns. almost every major party candidate including his dad releases multiple tax returns. george will and bill christol said as much. >> there's something he doesn't want to us see. i don't think it's anything criminal. it's more of the same. more offshoring, offshore investments and also i think it will be revealed he does let us see access for the previous several year, you'll see some of his investments were with institutions contributing to the downfall of our country. things like fannie mae and freddie mac, schemes we've seen in these sort of high-end financial institutions. you'll see bain and romney was probably involved in some of those things. illegal, but things that would be damaging to him. >> certainly. so john, any armchair campaign manager knows you have to release the tax returns, so why is the romney campaign stumbling on something so simple and obvious? >> his finances are not simple. they're complex. i believe that he is correct that thai calculated that

people were looking at drew peterson and the savio autopsy was read, dr. aden on -- and myself initially thought homicide in the stacey peterson disappearance the one thing that stands out clearly, the most important thing is her confidential communication with her minister. >> judge jeanine: you are the one who found that guy? didn't you locate him and take him to the d.a.'s office? >> it wasn't so quick. yes i located him and established a rapport. he was conflicted whether he should -- really he a confidentiality, even in death with his -- relationship priest relationship, the way i described as she told you for a reason. she told you because she thought something might happen to her and if it did she wanted somebody to represent her. >> judge jeanine: what did she tell him? >> night kathleen savio died or was killed, however you want to view this. that night she woke up in that -- in her bedroom andrew peterson was not there. she looked for him, called on his cell phone several times, he did not answer. finally, she went downstairs and saw drew peterson

peterson says he didn't do it. is but will the jury believe him? dr. kent harshpark arer forensic pathologist, jeffrey gold and steve rogers join us. i will start with dr. harshburger. you have read the autopsy reports. an autopsy from kathleen when she first died in i leav beliet was march of 2004 and then autopsies three years later in 2007 which dr. bloom and dr. baden. which is going to make the most sense to the jury? and what do you see as problematic in the different autopsy reports. one that says it is an accident and the other that says it is homicide? >> what is most problematic is the two different opposed conclusions. ing really the first pathologist was blinded he didn't have a lot of the crime scene data we have that came to light in the third -- in the second and third autopsies. dr. baden found some different autopsy findings. more are blunt force injuries than the first autopsy eye identified. there was 12 in the first and 15 to 18 in the second depending how you interpret it. >> judge jeanine: was that one blow that caused her death o

peterson vanishes, raising new questions about kathleen's death. the state's attorney reopens the investigation. his body is ec exumed and an autopsy is performed by the state and dr. michael baden. >> it as homicide and that is what i would have put down on the death certificate. >> today, drew peterson was arrested by the illinois state police. >> in 2009, peterson is indicted on two counts of murder in the slaying of kathleen savio. for years, the case is delayed. lawyers fight in the appellate courts over statements made by savio to various individuals about her fear that peterson would kill her. ultimately, the courts allow the hearsay statements. this past week, the jury is selected. and tuesday, the trial of drew peter areson begins with opening statements. >> joel brodsky is drew peterson's attorney and joins us this evening. how are you doing, joel? >> doing well, judge. >> judge jeanine: the prosecution has to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, the burden is on them but you will have a right to make an opening statement as well. what will you tell the jury? >> i want to tell them the story of drew peterson from beginning to end. i mean obviously n
