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." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Nuke Workers Would Qualify for Benefits, Compensation Under Legislation

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:50:00 GMT

Oct. 20--Ailing Cold War-era atomic workers at plants at Fernald and Piqua and some survivors would have an easier time obtaining federal compensation and medical benefits under legislation announced today, Oct. 20, by U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.
Under the legislation, former workers at the Feed Materials Production Center at Fernald and the Piqua Organic Moderated Reactor suffering from certain cancers and other ailments would benefit from the presumption that their illnesses were caused by occupational exposures, enabling them to qualify for help under the Labor Department's Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program.
"Former energy workers battling cancer should not have to struggle to receive the benefits to which they are entitled," Brown said.
