TiE stands for – The Indus Entrepreneurs

i think this story will have some really big whistleblower ramifications. We’ve seen whistle blower prosecution increase under Obama, and i dont think it’ll change now.

The problem of inflation has it’s greatest impact on education.
“The address states that average workload for full-time professors has gone up 10 percent. He explains that costs of education are addressed by […]

i like the idea, but how difficult would it be to implement? I’m sure the legal questions still need to be hammered out.

probably best not to jump the gun on this one.

“Democratic Party from mere moral supporters to legislative political advocates can be attributed to their ability to organize as a political unit.” This is really the big shift that’s occurred over the last […]

the push for common core has seen a lot of criticism. I’m betting implementation will be rocky.

why wont you hold the floor while filibustering? #askcongress

i think that is the major hurdle the trans community faces. Public attitudes are still rather hostile, and adolescence can be an even greater agitator for individuals

i think zuckerberg’s star power is really playing against him. a more hands off approach might have worked better

I’m betting california and texas will have a good time fighting over the uas jobs as well

CTJ has some insightful reports and they’re pretty straightforward about their positions which goes a long way to helping their credibility

ultimately the goal for education is to set realistic expectations. Everyone expects their school district to improve overnight just by throwing money on the fire.

surprising how complex the dynamic between social media and mainstream outlets can be depending on the region

I dont know if Warren is going to get the bill through, but it has done the job of shifting the debate to what the nation’s priorities should be-students

The line of being anti-voter fraud really doesn’t seem to be working for republicans. There are better ways to protect against fraud than stifling voter participation in the process.

One of the better predictors of student success is household atmosphere. I think it makes sense to take into account students who are coming from non-traditional family lives rather than only looking at how many […]

I wouldn’t say he has no credibility, but I do agree the speculation on Benghazi has become very outlandish. Maybe not by Paul in particular, but overall the Republican party has fumbled the ball on this one.

Texas is becoming notorious for butting heads with the federal govt. One of these day’s its going to pose a big problem for Texans

I think Time’s big piece this weekend relates – http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2143001,00.html

interesting how republicans were the ones to introduce it, since it seems like a Democratic idea. Probably the only way they’d be able to get support for it

the vigilante culture is a strange phenomena and plays into the gun culture as well. If i were to be a gun owner, i’d be more concerned with protecting personal security and property rather than doling out justice […]

i have a hard time believing that, do you have a credible source for it?

its surprising how galvanizing events like that silent dace can be. The key, however, is capitalizing on that momentum for substantive change, rather than receding into the ether shortly thereafter.

Rep. Doug Funderburk’s comment doesn’t really resonate with me. Even if everyone in that community had a gun, what would have played out differently?

of all the federal agencies, i think the CFPB is one of the few that’s actually serving its purpose

“we have two gigantic spin machines, both working from well-tested scripts about how to sustain, or how to diffuse, a political scandal.”
The biggest hypocrisy is how both sides insist they’re digging for the truth.

the word surplus usually doesnt get thrown out there for very long when it comes to california politics

who would consent to someone publishing humiliating images?

there was a similar hubub with my alma mater and ‘robo-squirrel’ funding. At least the taxpayers got a funny story out of it. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/weird/Robo-Squirrel-A-Waste-of-Time-Senator-Says-174480741.html

as a veteran of STAR testing I totally agree that kind of standardized test did very little to improve my education trajectory. I can see how it might have been useful merely as an assessment, but the real […]

both health care and the realignment seem like short term solutions to a longer term problem. Albeit necessary solutions, but in another 5-10 years the same problem will come up again.

has science research always been the political football it has become? The best example being Solyndra.

that segment was great. But super pac executives have much less transparent ways of skirting the coordination laws, which has ultimately made enforcement impossible.

number 5 is going to be the toughest aspect for manufacturers to overcome. Perhaps even working to limit the overseas use would be beneficial.

“Tuition rates have been a contentious topic with Mark Yudof as the head of the UC system. Tuition rates have increased every year he has been in his position.” I dont know how much of that can be attributed to […]

I don’t know carl. That district was so red, the border lines are visible from space. It’s not all that amazing that he was able to come out with the victory. The more astonishing story would have been if Colbert […]
