PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A Portland jury awarded no money yesterday to the parents of a little boy who lost his testicles during a surgery at Oregon Health & Science University.

The Oregonian reports the boy was 11 months old at the time of the 2009 surgery for undescended testicles.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Multnomah County sheriff’s deputies say a hiker who reported she was lost near Yeon State Park in the Columbia Gorge has been found. Lt. Steve Alexander said the Salem woman was in good condition and was being escorted to safety late last night.
COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) – Coos Bay is the latest Oregon city to put a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries. The World newspaper reports the moratorium gives the city a year to examine its land-use laws to deal with dispensaries. Development Director Eric Day says the code would have allowed dispensaries in much of the city.
