Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days."

Nov. 8--A long-time skeptic of the state's approach to promoting a North Slope gas pipeline got some attention recently.
Most of his points were aired by critics and rejected by the Legislature when it granted a state pipeline license to TransCanada.
