The Statesman Journal reports the authority will determine how long Davis will be treated at the state hospital.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A judge has handed a 10 day jail sentence to a woman convicted of striking and killing a woman on a Portland bridge while driving drunk.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – It took only 25 minutes yesterday for the University of Oregon to sell about 3,000 general public tickets to the Dalai Lama’s May 10 lecture at Matt Knight Arena.
