Corrected: They also found legal, commercially available ammunition for a semi-automatic rifle that the suspect possessed. KATU: Because of the items that were found, local police brought in federal authorities to investigate. Corrected: Because of the attempted manufacturing of the suppressor, local police brought in federal authorities to investigate. The manufacturing of suppressors is regulated under the National Firearms Act. Please note the corrections of the word "silencer" to "suppressor", and "assault rifle" to "semi-automatic rifle". The terms used in the original story were incorrect.

Would probably be pretty expensive to put them in at every off ramp. Also, I wonder how much additional wear and tear they do on your tires if you're driving over them multiple times a day?

It monitors traffic flow to determine the speed limit. It's not going to lower the limit because traffic is flowing well.

Sorry, they can chew on a nice paper check coming in the snail mail form now on!

If I'm talking via my vehicle's bluetooth, how is the officer going to know that I was talking on the phone versus talking to the passenger, talking to myself, or singing along with the radio? Granted, they could quit making cars with bluetooth, but there will still be millions of vehicles out there with it already built in. Don't take me the wrong way, I get and fully support a total ban on texting, emailing, or talking with the phone at your ear. I just don't see how they're going to enforce the hands-free stuff.

I can't see them putting in the wrong bolts, and the over-torquing could cause the brake damage they're referring to.

They had nothing to gain by lying about it. That's why we've yet to hear anything from the Blazers about this, they were probably blindsided by it just like the rest of us.

Do the Blazers really think that in this shortened season with so many games crammed into so little time, that he has any chance of getting healthy and playing a significant amount of time?

If there is no barrel to contain and direct the blast, there is no projectile. The bullet moves a few feet and the casing a few yards.

UO, UW, and WSU have all dismissed players in the past year for violations of the law or team rules. Not sure if OSU has, couldn't find any in a quick Google search.

I doubt Iran would be able to shoot it down under normal circumstances.

If that's what they wanted, they should just play it at an NFL stadium. There are NFL stadiums in 5 of the 7 Pac-12 states that they could play in if they want neutral sites.
