jan rowe, professor of occupational therapy at the university of alabama, with her story. dr. we, i think medicine and all the health sciences can be rather proud of the advances made in our treatment of children in paediatrics over the years. there was a time... i mean, you read these horror stories of the 19th century where children were just seen as a nuisance and little adults, and when they had an illness to go with that, it was even worse. but from where you sit, how has paediatrics evolved these past few years? - well, there's been substantial change with regard to occupational therapy in the medical field. i first became an occupational therapist in 1982, and moved to alabama in 1983. i've worked with many populations, but the majority of my practice has been in paediatrics. but i have to say, as late as the 1990s--'95, '96-- we still had physicians in this town, in this state, and even in this country, who were advising parents to institutionalize their children, which is incredulous when you think about it. - mm-hmm. - while we've grown a lot and we know have policies

his knee out and he lost his scholarship for the rest of alabama and he never even went to college. >> dr. phil: because we talked to the university of alabama and they gave us a statement. the school was unable to locate either a degree or an enrollment record for the subject of your verification request. so he didn't go there. has he told you now that he didn't go there? >> well, because i unravelled it. >> dr. phil: well, you're going to hear what john has to say next. we'll be right back.

medical psychology, substance abuse and homeless research program, department of psychology, university of alabamabirmingham, birmingham, alabama. dr. clark, when is a person categorized as homeless? well, the most important thing is to recognize that when a person lacks a permanent, fixed residence, they meet the category of homeless. now, there are a number of temporary arrangements that people have; for instance, it's estimated that roughly 1.6 million people are living in transitional or shelters, and they also meet the definition of homeless. so it's-we're looking for people who have permanent, fixed residence, and if you don't have that, then you're defined as homeless. and dr. milby, can you sort of take us through those categories a little bit? well, there're, there're lots of services that are provided for the homeless, from basic emergency shelters that just provide overnight stay, and people have to leave after-usually serve breakfast and then have to leave after. there are shelters that are more permanent and give people a chance to find more permanent housing. there are shelters also

of earmarks, the republicans had this tea party help. now they say they're going to be the reformers. right here on the front page, $30 million, dick shelby, republican senator from alabama, for the university of alabama tuscaloosa to help the science, teaching, and engineering research corridor. the senators from mississippi, tad cochran, one of the great appropriators of all times, i could go on for a few pages with his earmarks. did the republicans not after the election have an obligation to go back and say, i know i asked for that before the election, could you please take it out of the bill now? >> it certainly would have been nice, but obviously there are guys on both sides who think this is the way thing should be done. the game is going to change dramatically, though. come january, either the new tea party members or the old republicans who learned the lessons from 2006 are going to basically set new rules. and we will pass a budget. we will pass resolutions. we will pass appropriations bills. and if we don't, we deserve to be beat. i just challenge one of my friends here on this show, who say that members lose if they don't bring home the bacon. show me one single member who lost

hitting several schools in the southeast, not only fsu but also the university of florida, auburn university and the university of alabama lsu. >> it could be a man or woman or kid, may not even be in this country. right now, this person appears to be targeting sorority students and we don't know who they could be targeting next week. >> reporter: ashley says she never sent nude photos but most have. after all,thy mystery messenger somehow knew where they lived, class schedules, everything, seemed like normal hazing. when ashley tried to cut off communication, it got even worse. >> threatened to reveal my secrets, two girls were outside my dorm room that could come up and handle me. >> reporter: ashley went straight to police and learned the truth. she was scammed. scared and vulnerable, ashley has left school now living back home with her mom. >> my biggest fear now is sitting behind a computer screen getting nude photos for girls is not enough for them and they could attack someone physically. finding out who is behind all this could definitely help me sleep at night. >> police have no real leads at the moment, no idea

alabama state university. lewis, along with e die nixon who was head of the alabama brotherhood of sleeping carporters, they organized a campaign to boycott green's store. they brought together women's groups like the women's political council and labor unions, perhaps even the same people who had organized to defend taylor. after only a few weeks, african-americans delivered their own verdict in the case by driving green into a the red. in fact, they shut down green's grocery tore, and that ability to shut down his store constituted a major victory. not only did it establish the boycott as a powerful weapon for justice, but it also sent a message to whites that african-americans would no longer allow white men to disrespect, abuse and violate black women's bodies. now, besides police officers, few were as guilty of these crimes as were the city's bus operators who bullied and brutalized black passengers daily. worse, bus drivers had police powers. they carried blackjacks and often guns, and they assaulted and sometimes even killed african-americans who violated the racial order of jim crow. in 1953 alone african-ame

i have the honor of moderating the panel this evening, and this subject means a great deal to me because in 1964 i was a student at tuskegee university at alabama. and i took a bus ride that changed my life forever. i went from tuskegee to mississippi, to jackson, mississippi, to serve as a volunteer for an effort that snick had, the student nonviolent coordinating committee, had for getting out the vote in jackson, mississippi. i came back, and i eventually became a member of snicc and left school to work full time. so this subject is, indeed, one that niece near and dear -- that's near and dear to my heart. this book, "hands on the freedom plow," is a compilation of the works of many different women, 52 women, who were members of snicc, parts of the movement southern, northern, black, white, latino, latina. there are -- and the book itself has been 15, someone said 16 years in the making. [laughter] and it really has been a labor of love on the part of the people who you see here, some of whom, the majority of whom were editors and some who were contributors to this book. this is the very first time that you've had, we have the assemblage of

university. chris in alabama says the mandate is set to fail and it will be replaced with a medicare-based public auction. that is broad of view. let's go to akron, ohio, good morning. caller: i think i heard the answer to my question already. i was called -- i was calling about the on constitutionality of the current practice of people who could be paying money for their own health care but instead they wait until they get sick and go to hospital and get their treatment and it is not free care. the doctors may feel like they are fulfilling their a socratic both but then they said that cost onto my health insurance costs. guest: what you have heard so far is the argument that congress can make you deliver services to the port or people who can't afford to pay it or they can make a private company do that, they can also make the american taxpayer pay money directly to those private companies to compensate them for it and that is not a scene that has been done before. when the government has services and people can afford it and those services are being provided and paid for by the general public, we pay for those through t
