Following the flood, and for years to come, officials say the U.S....

In a first-of-its-kind study examining burn patterns from the 2020 Labor Day fires, researchers at Portland State University studied the influence of weather,...

Imagine you’re a gold prospector from the Willamette Valley, on your way to the California gold fields in the first year of the 1848 gold rush.

As you make your way southward by the great ocean, you reach a broad expanse of black sand. And when the sun hits it just right, you can see it’s actually glitter...

He's the type of guy everyone admires for his intelligence, charm, and creativity, but he frustrates us all because he can never seem to focus. He's frustrated too....
After Claudia Lockwood returns her rental to Avis, the company broadsides her with a $4,228 bill for 34 more days on the car. Can it do that?

The Avis counter was closed, so I called them and did the rental handover over the phone. A representative asked me for the number on the key. I asked if he needed anything else from me, and he said no. I did not hear anything back from Av...
