BEAVER DAMMED: The University of Oregon football team demolished Oregon State University 65-38 Saturday, all but certainly denying the Beavers their first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1965.

JUSTICE FOR ROGUE ALUM?: A federal judge has ruled up to 85 sea lions may be killed each year for five years, if there’s no other way to stop them from sucking down endangered salmon at Bonneville Dam. No word if one of the more prolific chow-hounding seals (“Rogue of the Week,” WW, April 12, 2006) could be targeted in that grim sentence.
