Alaska News

Who's up / Who's down

UP -- Kikkan Randall, Holly Brooks, James Southam: Sweet days at Kincaid for Alaska's nordic stars. Now it's on to Vancouver.

UP -- Jeff King: Four-time champ gives $50,000 to shore up shrinking Iditarod purse. Talk about giving back.

DOWN -- PFD donors: Pick-Click-Glitch foils first rounds of generosity. But charity will get a second chance.

DOWN -- Off-road rescued in Mat-Su: If the borough comes to your aid, you may be getting a bill. Good Samaritans with a fee schedule?

DOWN -- Southcentral aurora watchers: Sun isn't kicking up enough solar wind to light up our nights. Guess that orange glow over Anchorage will have to do.

UP -- Gun-rights advocates: Locked and loaded carries the day at Anchorage Fish & Game Advisory Committee vote. Viewing? That's what you do before you pull the trigger.

EVEN -- Mayor Dan: Sullivan and city unions aren't exactly tight, but he's apparently made peace with the mechanics. Keep those city rigs runnin' smooth.

EVEN -- Alaska's economy: Not hot, but with fewer bankruptcies and foreclosures, still ahead of Lower 48. Cold comfort better than none.
