By Tim Dunkin STATESMAN SENTINEL December 8, 2011 If nothing else, Carlos Rafael of New Bedford, Massachusetts will always have a whopper of a fish story to tell his grandkids, as he regales them with tales of the 881 lb. tuna that got away from him. Or rather, was taken away from him, as the truth of the matter really is. As the recent story in the news goes, back on November 12, a fishing boat owned by Mr. Rafael landed quite a catch when it brought in its nets after doing some deep sea trawling – the aforementioned tuna, a huge fish that would likely be worth close to half...

By Christopher Powers STATESMAN SENTINEL August 3, 2011 This week Congress reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling. The deal includes cuts in future spending increases over the next ten years, which means that the budget will continue to grow, only at a slower pace than originally predicted. There were no current spending cuts or tax reforms in the deal. The president and the heads of both parties pushed it forward.
