and so recently the institute of medicine has come out with several reports on preventing behavioral health problems in children and adults. the scientists at the nimh and niaaa all have early intervention studies going on that are extraordinarily promising. and i think that actually the science should make us a little bit more optimistic about our ability to actually prevent disorders. so, for example, the affordable care act has a nurse-home visitation program as part of it. and that has been studied for 30 years. the first randomized trial was 33 years ago and it showed that you could actually prevent lots of bad things from happening to children as they grew when they lived in at risk households. and similarly, if you treat mothers' depression, mothers of young children, you do things to prevent both substance use disorders from developing, but also a variety of behavioral problems and early schooling. and so i think there is a lot of promise here and i think that that promise is what prompted the act to put in the provisions to make it really easy to access those types of servic

medicine would be studied. >> translator: fukushima prefecture will be a relevant venue for the world to learn about the basic principles of nuclear safety. >>> in an interview with nhk, hosono said the institute would help people learn about the long process of scrapping reactors a the fukushima daiichi plant. the work is expected to take 30 to 40 years. >> translator: we will conduct advanced work in areas such as radiological medicine and decontamination. lessons learned must be available to the rest of the world. >> hosono said his ministry will work to develop robots that will be used to remove spent fuel rods and dispose of the damaged reactors. >>> the need to find steady work has taken on an added urgency for survivors of last year's disaster in northeastern japan. more than 2500 people in the three hardest-hit prefectures will see their unemployment benefits expire within the next two months. the labor ministry says more than 64,000 people had received unemployment benefits in iwate, miyagi and fukushima prefectures. as of november, the figure is nearly double what it was in 2010. the ministry says of the total, up to 1300 people will lose their benefits by the end of this month. 1400

institution that kept it in boston whether. not because the medical training in paris was far advanced by our terms, but it was infin nitly far advanced and way ahead of american medicine. american medicine was pathetically back ward. there were very few medical schools. over half l off the -- over half of all the doctors then had never been no medical school, and they trained with other doctors who never been to medical school. the harvard medical school had a faculty of about seven. they got to paris and they were in a medical school with several thousand students taught by the greatest physicians in france, who were the greatest physicians in the world. it was the leading medical center of the world, and if they could go there, in two years, they would learn as much as or more than they would learn in general practice here in ten years. there were two very important reasons for this apart from the fact that we were so far behind and because paris was paris. it was the cultural capitol of the world. both of these reasons had to do with our culture, our society, our miranda rule rules and regulations than it had to do with science. most american people, at that time,
