For the government to hire personnel firms that would receive a fee for each person placed in a Job.

The subsidy proposal is among a dizzying array of choices the group is trying to re Fine in the next few weeks before presenting Clinton with a menu of options. The issues Range from what kind of computer system might enhance the col Lection of child support payments to whether Clinton should embark on a National crusade against teen age pregnancy. Clinton who prides himself on his grasp of welfare issues is expected to immerse himself in Many of the details. Clinton campaigned on a pledge to end welfare As we know it by imposing a two year limit on benefits. After that he said welfare recipients will have to work or perform Community service. But he has not yet answered a Par amount question where will the jobs come from the discussion of subsidies gives new clues to the possible answer. A record 5 million families now receive Aid to families with dependent Chil Dren the main Cash welfare program. A disproportionate number of them Are headed by single women with few skills who live in areas of High unemployment. Some welfare experts have argued that the Only Way to enforce a strict work requirement is for the government to Cre ate a Large number of Public jobs or part time Community service positions. But members of the group working on the proposal have called a Large Public jobs plan costly and politically unpopular especially among unionized Public employees Vjio fear losing jobs. The subsidies have been tried in expert intents that Date Back As far As the 1960s, and some remain in effect. But they have largely been unsuccessful. Working group members Are debating whether the subsidies need to be expanded or simply marketed More aggressively. The potential problems with subsidies have been flagged in a background paper prepared for the working group. One problem according to the confidential document is that subsidies can stigmatize welfare recipients seeking jobs and actually Hurt their Long term employ ment prospects another potential problem is that subsidies could be a Windfall to employers for hiring the exact same people the were going to hire  doctors Brawl while patient awaits surgery Worcester mass.

Hopes lifted for alzheimer s treatment Hacin have been shown in recent Small studies to delay the Onset of the disease and reduce its effects. At least 15 other drugs Are now in clinical trials. Grafts of fetal cells Are also Likely to be tried As therapy within the next six months. Perhaps the greatest excitement now however revolves around the recent genetic discovery linking alzheimer s to a protein that carries fats in the blood. The new findings Are thought to be so important that researchers and the Alz Heimer s association Are mobilizing an All out Effort to obtain $100 million in additional research funds from Congress ref follow up on them. Alzheimer s is a disease of aging. It affects perhaps 3 percent of people age 65 to 74, 20 percent of those aged 74 to 84, and As Many As 50 percent of those Over the age of 85 a total estimated at 4 million in the United states alone. More Over the number of people Over 65, and thus at risk is expected to double within the next 30 years.

By 1986, she could t walk could t talk did t recognize her husband and choked on her food. That year her husband enrolled her in an Early experimental trial of a recently approved alzheimer s drug called taurine and her condition immediately improved. She stopped choking she could Wal again and Best of All. She could recognize me and Tell me i love you too " Woodrow Wirsig said. The drug gave my wife another three years of an accept Able Quality of life before she died in 1989 at age 69. Jane Wirsig s Story told in Woodrow s Book / love you too is one that is Likely to be repeated in the future. In the last two years researchers have been reporting unprecedented successes in understanding the causes of alzheimer s disease and developing new thera pies. Spurred by the recent discovery of genes that Promise to provide an explanation of How alzheimer s develops some researchers believe they Are on the verge of producing revolutionary new treatments to delay the Onset of alzheimer s disease and perhaps even to prevent it completely.
