Research some years ago but we now find the court of justice of the e. U. Is hindering progress by bringing into question the validity of the patient protecting research. Will the Prime Minister do what he can to clear this blockage on behalf of millions of people in this country who suffer longterm medical conditions . My hon. Friend makes an extremely serious point and i will look closely at it because it is a competitive advantage we have in this country that we took difficult decisions about stem cell research. Is important that we continue to lead in that area not only as he says for economic and scientific reasons but because we want to make sure longterm conditions, debilitating conditions, children with a disability and other concerns that we crack those problems for the future and without that level of research i dont believe we will. I will get what he says and write to him after. Is the Prime Minister proud of the growth of super pacs across this country including my own con
The fiscal cliff comes along. You get a deal. You voted against it here and you were the only democrat to vote against it. Why did you vote against it . There were several of us on the democratic side that voted against it. My sense is that if we are going to really move this country forward, we have to start dealing with the big challenges we face physically, socially now, not do these shortterm fixes. A longterm fix would have included something that would have disposed of the socalled fiscal cliff. I believe this shortterm deal creates three new fiscal cliffs, which is not the way you want to run whether it is a Small Business on main street or the largest economy in the world. We need to get to the point of dealing with the biggest deficit in the country, the jobs deficit. To me, this bill simply put a bandaid on the problem. It did do something the president wanted to do, committed to do. He delivered on the promise to try to help protect the middle class class. My theory is that

About so much, but on the ground for people right now who have already borrowed, clients like mine having the existing programs that work well, it is incredibly important. Hopefully a lot is going to happen in that area. The cfbp is the new sheriff in town. I will add that president obama said a lot on the campaign trail that he wanted to tie federal aid to colleges ability to keep costs down. We have not seen specifics on that. It will be interesting. Something to watch to see if he actually does that. We have seen some specifics from the prior version of that proposal. The students aid and fiscal responsibility act, which passed the house, but provisions were dropped from the bill. Eventually became the health care and education reconciliation act. Campus based funding the perkins loan, the grant, a federal work study tying it to a colleges success in keeping tuition from growing too quickly. Also their success enrolling pell grant recipients. The final proposal will be different, bu

Come in court has been adopted by 45 states common core has been adopted by 45 states and the District Of Columbia. The notion that these reading standards have the opportunity to improve. There has been in the last 12 to 18 months it rising chorus of skepticism, concerns about how these standards will impact instruction. Whether the standards are good or bad. The reason is my own personal bias. I think most efforts to alter standards or instruction or assessment turned as much on how they are done as on any grand design sketched on the front end. I could be wrong on that. But that is the bias that im coming from. We want to talk about with joanne weiss, who is in the middle of so many reform conversations, david coleman, from the College Board is what are some of the challenges ahead as states seek to make these things deliver on their promise.
