Scientists seek earlier tests to stall Alzheimer's progress
Washington outlines a new national plan and two major studies. An international trial will test an experimental drug in genetically at risk but currently healthy individuals to slow the disease before extensive brain damage. A nasal insulin spray study targets very early memory problems. The plan aims for effective treatments by 2025 and stresses testing drugs before full dementia appears.

Senate votes to reauthorize Export-Import Bank for three years
The Senate approved a three year renewal of the Export-Import Bank charter by 78 to 20 sending the bill to President Obama for signature. The measure raises the bank lending cap from 100 billion to 140 billion and maintains support from business groups while facing conservative opposition. The bank states it supported about 32 billion in exports last year and helped 290 thousand jobs, including 85 thousand in aerospace.
