Summing up intense work to get the measure through Congress, Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill she felt "very exhilarated" by the tone of conversation in a caucus of Democrats Friday morning. She said, "We stand ready to stay as long as necessary" to finish the bill, which has been heavily debated for well over a year.

The Massachusetts Senate will consider a series of corporate tax policy changes aimed at helping grow small businesses and spawn new companies.

Murray describes the proposals as a way “to create a more favorable and stable business tax climate.”   She descirbed the proposals as “relatively low cost” , but didn't give any estimates. Murray cited a study showing that between 1990 and 2007, the number of firms in Massachusetts increased 67 percent, but the average firm size shrunk almost 40 percent.  In 1990, the average firm in the state employed approximately 17 people; by 2007, the average firm size here was almost 10 people.

Rescuers back to try and free dolphins on Cape Cod


Rescue teams have reached another of the white-sided dolphins that became stuck in the mud off Cape Cod. A spokesman for the International Fund for Animal Welfare says it's too early to know if the animal -- one of 16 that stranded in two locations in Wellfleet on Thursday - will survive. Four of the original 16 have died and three are unaccounted for. Six others that were rescued were taken to Provincetown and released back into the ocean. IFAW spokesman Chris Cutter says hip-deep mud he compared to quicksand had been preventing rescuers from reaching the remaining dolphins, but Friday morning's high tide has helped those efforts.

Rep. Kennedy rips media in speech - VIDEO


Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy is blasting the news media as "despicable," accusing it of ignoring the war in Afghanistan even as troops continue to die there.  On Wednesday he shouted, pointed and waved his arms excitedly during a speech on the House floor about U.S. policy in Afghanistan. He chastised the media for focusing "24/7" on former Rep. Eric Massa of New York, who resigned from Congress amid sexual harassment allegations, at a time when lawmakers were debating the future of the war.

The Massachusetts Senate has approved a bill designed to ban the sale of high-calorie sodas and salty and sugary snacks in elementary and high schools. The House passed a similar bill in January.

The bill would also require schools to sell fresh fruits and vegetables, ban deep fried foods and require students be taught about nutrition and exercise.
