treatment to happen for both. yes. does everyone, thomasina, that wants to get treatment, are they able to find it? is there enough treatment around the country if all these millions of people wanted to be treated for their condition? i mean, there certainly is a lot of self-help groups that are open, and they're almost cost free. i think the question also is of all the millions of people though many of them are not ready for treatment. so it's just because they need treatment doesn't mean that they're ready and willing to go to treatment. i think that's a really big issue for both mental illness and substance use. i think an important part of that, thomasina, is that sometimes the quality of the services hasn't been there. so sometimes people would like to seek help, but, for example, the treatment program is only open when they're at work or there's no parking, there's no childcare and so part of what our responsibility is, is to make those services more attractive and more accessible to the population because,

it's supposed to transform the entire treatment system. we have to change the way of doing business throughout it, so it truly is recovering support system. and the systems that are thriving, like, for example, in philadelphia, i'll cite where bev is from as an example, or the work that joe is doing, the ones that are taking that on, this is a philosophical, cultural transformation not just flavor of the month, a grant, we'll do this for a year and then we'll forget about it. yeah, and describe that for us, bev. well, it really is a transformation process and it's not only bringing people to the table but really looking at all of the different aspects and components of this system- and that's why it's called recovery oriented. recovery oriented. but what's really, for me, pretty exciting about it is the nontraditional community support services that have been out there for a long time. such as? such as some of the faith based organizations, some of the recovery support services that are peer-to-peer are all now sort of a part of the mix an

and so treatment became the ways in which we deal with pollution. narrator: to protect public health, starting in the 1950s and '60s, there was a push to put in wastewater treatment plants across the united states. today, with evolving technologies, the waste travels through multiple stages of treatment, removing tons of solids... settling out microscopic particles, and introducing bacteria that consume and decompose the toxic material. in some plants, the water is further disinfected through the use of ultraviolet light or ozonation. these plants cost millions of dollars to construct, operate, and maintain. in population centers like los angeles, the scope of the task is staggering. the hyperion wastewater treatment plant serves four million people. it processes 350 million gallons of sewage and removes 500 tons of solids daily. after treatment at hyperion, what was once raw sewage is clean enough to release into santa monica bay. other cities and towns release treated wastewater, or effluent, into local rivers, lakes, and streams. as it flows down

treatment in combination were tested in comparison to the best current treatment in a clinical trial. of the trial yields positive results agents can have access to in new and improved drug or treatment combination. currently we are running out of many of the existing drugs. and a clinical trial runs out of a drug even temporarily the trial results may be compromised and enormous work and expense is wasted. this means during a clinical trial in shortage of only a few weeks might mean delays in years of developing a new drug. the drug shortages of today can have a ripple effect on the availability of new drugs and treatment combinations tomorrow. today we estimate one in two men will develop cancer in their lifetime. over 1.5 million americans are diagnosed with cancer and half a million americans are expected to die of their disease. that is 1500 people a day or one per minute. these numbers seem staggering but we have made great strides in our ability to treat cancer and are at a most promising time in cancer research. the american association of cancer research issued a progress re

, an avenue for treatment. if someone wants help, they need to have help. in terms of a drug war, we have not had a comprehensive -- i know president nixon calling to that phrase. i could never understand the term drug war because we never really went to war against drugs. we struggled for long periods of time with bringing domains together, bringing a law enforcement together with prevention and treatment and working hand-in-hand to help the community heal. sometimes helping a community hill means putting somebody in jail. >> putting someone in jail. >> someone who is a drug trafficker, so that they have time to heal. but we never invested in fixing people. warse've gone through two and we have returning veterans who are not getting the assistance that they need. we have people who need help who are not getting a. unfortunately the people that need help is in our community is most impacted by crime, which is drug-related. if we invest in a generation or so, there will not be in need for a drug enforcement agen

we have different treatment centers for substance abuse. we often have centers for treatment. in mental health, mental health services are delivered by many different realms. we have medical homes that deliver services, we have community centers that deliver services. you don't see traditional structures like in the substance abuse world for treatment. 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 f

and many cities built their treatment plants with this grant money. oberstar: but even a decade after it was enacted, the reagan administration came in and cut the grant program to a loan program. and funding diminished over a period of time. now, we still have 1/3 or more of the nation's streams and lakes that don't meet the standards of the clean water act. we have to advance the cause. that is the big challenge ahead of us. you just don't think of raw sewage in waterways in a developed country, and yet, that's what we have, and not just in pittsburgh, but all over. narrator: pittsburgh is situated at the confluence of the allegheny, monongahela, and ohio rivers. these three rivers are vital for industry, recreation, and drinking water. and each year, billions of gallons of combined sewer overflows discharge directly into those rivers. hecht: we're now having to face the consequences of the choice that was made to put in combined sewer systems. narrator: in 1994, the government adopted a combined sewer overflow policy to reduce csos nationwide. citi

and maybe why they don't want to come and seek treatment. and how is that accepted among the folks that have been trained in the sbirt methodology? well, the sbirt methodology has, i would say, taken a great role in not only improving the way they communicate for sbirt but all communication. because they have to learn how to talk with patients of different cultures for many different reasons. it may not just be sbirt that they are talking about, but they take these same skills, this open-ended listening and reflective listening, back to their own patient population for other reasons also. and they also incorporate... i know that we were talking about previously the whole issue of families not wanting to accept that there is a mental illness because they feel somehow people may discriminate against them, and some people call it stigma, but it is really a discriminatory practice to not be able to accept the medical condition within the family. so i suspect they need to also learn about those issues. definitely. learning about the whole spectru

why does one get prison and the other get treatment? you need to get out more. >> another huge myth -- these 850,000 arrests for marijuana is , it can be as little as a petty find. many are there for possession or use of marijuana that had been played down from more serious offenses. on a first offense, the people that are rare for drug offenses are either our total non- violence population. >> 850,000, and each one you talk about the nose. each one represents several thousand dollars in adjudication cost of the system. i have to respond to a couple of things that the attorney general said. it is the first time in making an argument, that someone quoted what the meth addicts think to me. when you talk about people that use marijuana, is there no such thing as someone who is like their whole life ever covered marijuana user? there are regular people that use marijuana and now they are politicians and lawyers and doctors, and many of my colleagues in congress. our last couple of presidents. look, and we are all, john, talking about this f

earlier this summer, we completed construction of a treatment facility.i mentioned, the largest uv treatment facility in california. third largest in america. we were joined for the ceremony without being thoroughly tested. this summer we also completed construction on the university reservoir. we refilled the reservoir immediately after construction. again, there was much added redundancy and reliability. i wanted to shoot you another project. this is the [unintelligible] pump station built in mclaren park. we're very pleased with that project. last week, the program received the outstanding large infrastructure project of the year by the american society of civil engineers. we were very proud of that. this pretty much conclude my overall presentation. i can answer any questions you might have. supervisor chu: let's go forward with contracts. >> items 6 through 10 on the agenda relate to the amendments for private consulting contracts that provided consulting in the program. in terms of the big picture, out of the $4.6 billion, up $3.4 billion, or 74% of

current treatment clinical trial.t said yields positive results, patients can ultimately have access to a new and improved drug or treatment combination. currently however, were running out of existing drugs. when a clinical chat events outcome even temporarily at the trial results may be compromised in an enormous amount of work and expense is pasted. this means during a clinical trial a shortage of only a few weeks in an existing drug might mean delays commuters of developing a new drug. in other words, drug shortages can have a ripple effect that availability of new drugs and treatment combinations tomorrow. today we estimate wanted to men and one in three women will develop cancer in their lifetime. this year over 1.5 million americans are estimated to be diagnosed with cancer and more than half a million americans are expected to die of the disease. but for the 1500 people a day for more than one per minute. while these numbers seem staggering, we've made great strides in our ability to diagnose, treat and preven

we will transport them to treatment. i feel fortunate to be able to do this work after living my life a different way for a very long time. i have been to school. i have learned many things aabot addiction and criminal thinking, but most of all, i have walked through the process. i have been released. i had to start over. what did i need to get. and how to maneuver through the system to get your needs met. i certainly have an opinion on how to help others do the same. supervisor kim: thank you so much. >> ok. supervisor kim: i am a big fan of teachers. i think it is amazing what you have been able to do there. thank you. >> thanks. supervisor kim: next, we have kevin joseph, then jamie brewster. is kevin joseph here? if not, jamie brewster. >> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you for this opportunity. my name is jamie brewster, and i am a program manager at the reconstruction solar training program, where have been employed just over six years. i was also recently appointed to the work force advisory committee by forme

in addition to the, service dollars of $2,275 for treatment and services. and that was in in jail. and also, post-release of revision, $3,500 for supervision. and in addition to that, there is that $2,275. basically, the state created this great big pot of money, and that basically is the pot that is being distributed to all of the county. they work with the department of finance and determine what the formula would be for the distribution of that. it did not match of the funds were actually created. san francisco, what we are projected to get under the current formula as approved by the legislature is $5.7 million, a little over that, to serve those approximately 700 offenders. the existing funding formula, not only does it fund our actual counties cost, it fiscally penalizes san francisco because of the nature of the components of the actual formula itself. 10% of the award is based upon the sb 678 distribution. we have had discussions about evidence-based probation and the population. but the problem with that is those counties that the not send many to state prison on a probati

this is essentially the first treatment here at our waste water treatment facility. what we do is slow down the water so that things either settle to the bottom or float to the top. you see we have a nice selection of things floating around there, things from bubble gum wrappers, toilet paper, whatever you dump down the toilet, whatever gets into our storm drains, that's what gets into our waste water treatment and we have to clean. >> see these chains here, this keeps scum from building up. >> on this end in the liquid end basically we're just trying to produce a good water product that doesn't negatively impact the receiving water so that we have recreation and no bad impact on fish and aquatic life. solids is what's happening. . >> by sludge, what exactly do you mean? is that the actual technical term? . >> it's a technical term and it's used in a lot of different ways, but this is organic sewage sludge. basically what it is is, oh, maybe things that come out of your garbage disposal, things that are fecal in nature. it's sludge left in the water after the primary

it's been through a treatment plant. and now it's in our lake and we're watering with it. narrator: these reuse and conservation techniques enable las vegas to exist in the desert. another important form of conservation is preventing leaks. man: every drop counts. all water systems have what they call an efficiency rating. so if you were to measure the water that goes into your system and compare it to the water that goes out, how much is unaccounted for? most states have a goal of 10%. ours is at only 5.5% right now. and we have plans to lower that to 4%. man: we actually have our entire distribution system mapped out in a computerized or electronic format. and we can locate our pipes, we can locate our valves, we can locate water meters that are out there. we've got small units installed in the distribution system. and they actually listen for leaks. we can schedule the repair, minimize its impacts to the surrounding community, and it minimizes cost, because obviously, if you've got a leak that's been leaking for sometime, you're going to see a lot of undermining of the

cells, but such treatments have severe side-effects and limited effectiveness. english "so we think with this selective approach we may be able to treat cancers continuously with the virus until we've hopefully effected complete remission of the disease." the virus is delivered to tumors through the bloodstream, which is better as intravenous delivery is much more effective in targeting tumors throughout the body, as opposed to direct injecting which can only target the injected spot. scientists plan to hold trials consisting of a multi-dose regime and open trials around the world to test the virus more thoroughly. english "our hope is this breakthrough, if you will, is that these viruses may be highly selective to just the cancer cells and that is very promising. with the ultimate goal of using the virus as a cancer treatment, likely in combination with chemotherapy, scientists say, there's still more research to be done before they can effectively translate the virus in a way to treat cancer and prove it is safe enough to carry actual therapeutic drugs. but th

we say equal treatment under the law for everyone. this is the logic we pure. >> rose: most amerans believe in equal justice under the law and equal treatment of the law. number two, i think that most americans, people around the world recognize that iran is a great country and a great culture. this specific question has to do with anagency of the united nations suggesting that you, that you have much more enriched uranium at 20% than you need for the medical use, that there must benother reason for you wanting as much as you seem to be. >> there is no such thing that is completely erroneous. we need one 100-- 110 kilograms for one cycle. we haven't even reached 70 kilograms. let me put your mind at ease, sir. right now as we speak, if they give us 20% enriched uranium we mr. completely shut down 20% domestic enrichment. how is that? is there anything else to talk about? as you and i sit here and speak, if they bring into our reactors 20% enriched uranium for the production of-- for cancer treatment medication, we will shut down domes

where the unfair treatment came from. sometimes i was surprised that it came from this should be friendly and supportive and the fair and balanced coverage came from people i was going into these interviews expecting a -- you can't have a precedent about -- it is about who is professional. you never know. you never know who is going to choose to take their role as a professional journalist seriously and who is going to use that role to advance a political agenda. but as we are going into the 2012 election what we can expect is we can expect unfair treatment. we can expect misinformation. information technology has put the power back in the hands of the people. so at this time unlike ever before we are not powerless. it means we have to work harder. we have to stay one step ahead of them. but if we are vigilant, we can defeat the power of the sound bite. i have that whole chapter about how the media derives its power from the sound bite and how we can disarm it. knowledge is to the sound bite what kryptonite is to superman
