      Jurassic Crocodile Unearthed in Oregon

      Posted by Jeff from Live Science

      One more reason to visit the Northwest: The new fossil is the oldest crocodilian ever unearthed in Oregon and one of the few to be unearthed on this side of the Pacific. The “hybrid” animal is thought to be a new species within the genus Thalattosuchia, a group of crocodilians living during the age of dinosaurs.

    • Oregon, other states, consider end run around Electoral College

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times

      Such an agreement would not take effect unless adopted by state legislatures representing a majority of electoral votes. California's Legislature passed it in 2006, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the plan. A spokeswoman for Gov. Ted Kulongoski said he'll wait to see what action the Oregon Legislature takes before making up his mind...

      Mount Hood Climbers: What Price Glory?

      Posted by Jeff from ABC News

      Personally I would like to see more coverage to the cost of Oregon national guard air crews on this rescue - vs. perhaps what Oregon taxpayers pay for other services that probably protect a large number of people.

    How about taking the search out of search & rescue? Free GPS tracking devices for climbers on Hood, Denali, Ranier?

    Mount Hood Climbers: What Price Glory?

    Interesting comment from JoeDuck blog.
    After that tragedy, in an effort to save future lives, a program was started wherein you can rent a locator unit for $5 at multitudes of locations on virtually every side of the mountain. $5. The program is well known, well advertised and climbers inquiring about climging Hood are encouraged to take them. It is not mandatory, however. Numerous lives have been saved because of their existence. The question comes up EVERY TIME this happens as to why someone would fail to carry such cheap insurance. It reminds me of people who drown when running whitewater without a lifejacket on – it defies common sense – but there are dozens of drowning in OR and WA every year attributable to that very reason.
