       Sens. Jack Hart (D-South Boston), Cynthia Creem (D-Newton), and Bruce Tarr
(R-Gloucester) will soon sit down with Reps. Daniel Bosley (D-North Adams), Lida Harkins (D-Needham), and Bradford Hill (R-Ipswich) to hash out a compromise bill sanctioning embryonic stem cell research.  The conference committee members were appointed Friday by legislative leaders. There's no timetable for conferees to reach a resolution, but the legislative leaders they report to are hoping for one soon.  Both branches meet again in informal sessions today (Monday) at 11 am.
