    Where Everybody Owns Your Name

    The soap opera surrounding Jack Dennis and his relationship with the original business that bears his name just took a legal turn. Dennis who "retired" in October of 2009 then unretired in 2010 when he opened another retail location and guiding operation in Jackson that bears his name. Now Jack is being sued by Jack Dennis Sports Inc for using his name and they are also arguing over who owns the jackdennis.com domain name.

    Dennis’ attorney said he will file a formal court document answering these allegations, and he will also file counter claims.

    "One word, plastics"

    Despite growing awareness of the problem of plastic pollution in the world's oceans, little solid scientific information existed to illustrate the nature and scope of the issue. Now, a team of researchers from Sea Education Association (SEA), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and the University of Hawaii (UH) published a study of plastic marine debris based on data collected over 22 years by undergraduate students in the latest issue of the journal Science.

    A previously undefined expanse of the western North Atlantic has been found to contain high concentrations of plastic debris, comparable to those observed in the region of the Pacific commonly referred to as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

    Mr. Kriege said that the dredges’ impact on the riverbed was “like fluffing a pillow” 

    GOLD HILL, Ore. — When four dams on the Rogue River here were scheduled for removal, environmentalists predicted many benefits: more salmon and steelhead swimming upriver to spawn; more gravel carried downriver to replenish the riverbed; more rafters bobbing along 57 miles of newly opened water. 

    What they didn't count on was an influx of New 49'ers, suction dredgers looking to sift through the tons of gravel for the gold once hidden behind the dams.

    Hello BFRO? UPDATE

    This post from The Caddis Fly was intended to be a video on flyfishing/running rapids on the upper Mckenzie, little did they know that it was much more. From 1:35 to 1:55 focus your attention on the bottom left hand portion of the screen. 

    As soon as E-bun see this he'll be packin the raft for Oregon.

    UPDATE: For those that aren't against the notion of an undocumented North American Ape, you may want to read the discussion on this video here on the BFRO Blue Forum
