EVEN -- D.C.-bound lawmakers: Reps. Chenault, Fairclough and others tilt against the ANWR opposition again. Nice junket, er, ah, mission on behalf of the state.
UP -- Arctic Power: As long as ANWR isn't open, this outfit continues to haves a job subsidized by the state. What's that about alignment of incentives?

DOWN -- Sen. Charlie Huggins: Bid to make old Winchester 30.06 the Alaska firearm fires blanks. Too many different favorites in a well-armed state, Senator.

DOWN -- Stevens case prosecutors: Justice may be blind, but judge says public should see details of what this crew did wrong.

UP Southcentral Alaskans: See that light in the southern sky? It's the sun. And it's lingering longer.
