		<description><![CDATA[From Pendleton Round-Up at 100: Oregon&#8217;s Legendary Rodeo It was a battle of the sexes that never came to pass. Not that Mabel Strickland and other cowgirls didnâ€™t try in 1924. Emboldened by their skills and growing popularity among rodeo fans from Pendleton to New York to London, they wanted to compete directly with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Pendleton Round-Up at 100: Oregon&#8217;s Legendary Rodeo In an era of stark racial divides, itâ€™s remarkable that the Pendleton Round-Upâ€™s most famous contest happened at all. The year was 1911. Segregation was rampant, and memories of Indian wars and slavery lingered. Viewed through the lens of todayâ€™s world, the storyline smacks of something Hollywood [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For The Oregonian, Jan. 22, 2009 This is a story about love, shopping locally and the power of the Internet. And burritos, too. It began in early December when a man learned that his mother&#8217;s Northeast neighborhood business, Broadway Books, faced financial problems more ominous than the struggles small independent booksellers typically see. &#8220;Because I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For The Oregonian, Feb. 28, 2008 A young man&#8217;s face gazes upon the world from a gnarled tree. His portrait is attached to the trunk along a well-traveled street of tidy houses. Painted mostly in blues and black against sunset reds, the image burns through winter&#8217;s gloom, luring a motorist to stop. Black, unreadable eyes [...]]]></description>
