in 2009, dr. varis was appointed by president obama to the president's commission on the arts and humanities. she was a great lady, a rare lady. someone who combined so many different attributes and made a powerful impression, even if you only met her for 10 minutes. agnes, we will miss you. all of your good works and all of the possibilities and opportunities that you made for others will allow your spirit to live on. god bless you, agnes varis. and mr. president, i -- i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from ohio -- the senator from west virginia and i were having a colloquy. mr. brown: could i for a moment, mr. president, i only wanted to add my voice to yours about agnes varis, and i appreciate the senator from west virginia, the junior senator from west virginia giving me a moment or two. i've known agnes for many years, i've worked with her on generic drug issues for the last decade, more than that when i was in the house of representatives, and she had

dr. feldman strongly believes a range of experts from varying fields needs to examine marie noe before she. >> i don't think it is ever too late to study her. >> i still think it is a brave idea for a sentence. mrs. noe is still alive, even though there have been, i think, a lot of fumbles on the way to this, ten years later, we're still talking about this case because it fascinates people. >> these murders occurred at a time when there were very few child protective laws on the books. although pennsylvania had a department of public welfare, the first child abuse law in the state wasn't passed until 1967. one year before marie noe's last child was born. today there are many laws and agencies protecting the welfare of children. and doctors are required by law to report any suspected cases of child endangerment or abuse. this was a case unlike any philadelphia police or doctors had ever seen. ten babies from the same family died over a period of 19 years. two of natural causes and eight died at the hands of their own mother. >> 30 years ago or 40 years ago, we were all focusing on the poor

dr. greene, what is the magnitude of mental, emotional, and behavioral health problems in our society? if you look at the national averages of mental health disorders, they may vary by regions, but there... if you look at some of the underlying day-to-day anxieties, you can imagine that it can go upwards of 70 percent if you include a number of the less diagnosed or less appreciated disease processes. in our trauma population, we often see upwards of 60 to 70 percent of our patients may have some sort of mental health. we feel that the patient who actually has a traumatic event and has some sort of substance abuse associated with it, be it alcohol or some drugs, because they usually have a polysubstance abuse patient. we often find that they aren't just drugging because they want to, but they are usually drugging to a problem. and that problem may be a mental disorder as their underlying problem, whether it be depression or otherwise. so the mixture of the two, trauma, depression, mental health, are very intertwined. fran, i am going back to you. is there a difference between the level in the statistics between mental health and addiction issues? yeah, around men
