Vice
President Gore Announces
Afterschool Programs to Aid Working Families
 School-age
children who are unsupervised after school are far more likely
to use alcohol, drugs and tobacco, commit crimes, receive poor
grades, and drop out of school than those who are involved in
supervised, constructive after-school activities. Afterschool
fairs over the country - along with this new website - will
connect schools, community groups, parents and afterschool programs
with existing federal resources. |

of Medicine, MEDLINE lists references from about 4,300 of the
world's most respected medical and scientific journals. Now
doctors, scientists, and researchers can access recent editions

rest of us might want to try MEDLINEplus,
for answers to common health questions. |

How
to Get a Patent for Your Invention 
Independent
inventors - inventors not associated with corporations or other
organizations - discovered the pacemaker and gave us the elevator.
In FY 1998, America's independent inventors filed 15% of the
256,666 applications received by the Patent and Trademark Office.
If you're an independent inventor, or want to be, the agency
has launched a website with resources to help you through the
complexities and legalities of obtaining a patent for what you
invent |
