More deaths on Mount Hood. Two climbers are still missing.

Nobody ever found the bodies of those two climbers who presumably lost their lives there a couple of years ago.

More here. A helicopter search is about to start to look for the missing climbers.

In an interview with AP, Amanda Knox says she is scared:

"OK, thanks. How are you guys?" said the American student, who had been sentenced eight days earlier to 26 years in prison for the murder of her British roommate. But minutes later, Knox confided, in answer to a question from an Associated Press reporter in her cell: "I am scared because I don't know what is going on."

The 22-year-old, who is a cause celebre in the United States among those who contend she was wrongly convicted by the Perugia court, received a 10-minute visit inside the cell by two Italian lawmakers, prison officials and a pair of reporters in Capanne prison on the outskirts of Perugia.

Knox has been jailed for two years since she was arrested a few days after the slaying of Meredith Kercher in the house the two students shared in this medieval town.

The lawyers will have a field day with this case:

Two Warner Robins Middle School students who allegedly engaged in oral sex in a classroom while a substitute teacher and other students were present are facing additional charges.

Along with the public indecency charges first reported in The Telegraph on Friday, both students are being charged with sodomy and disruption of public school. The male student will also be charged with solicitation of sodomy and violation of probation, said Capt. Jerry Stewart of the Juvenile Division of the Houston County Sheriff’s Department.


Both students are being detained at the Crisp Regional Youth Detention Center, said Stewart, who has been working with Sgt. Porter Wood, school liaison officer for the Warner Robins Police Department, on the investigation.

The two students have a hearing scheduled in Houston County Juvenile Court Monday, Stewart said.
