Treasury Notes. Treasury notes are intermediate term debt securities sold by the Treasury. Initial terms for notes are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years. A Treasury note pays a fixed rate of interest -- the coupon rate -- which is paid to an investor semi-annually.
Mount Hood (45.4N, 121.7W) is the tallest mountain in Oregon (11,237 feet, 3,426 m) and popular with skiers, hikers, and climbers. It is 45 miles (75 km) east-southeast of Portland, Oregon. Mount Hood is a stratovolcano made of lava flows, domes, and volcaniclastic deposits. Most of the volcano is andesite composition. The main cone of Mount Hood formed about 500,000 years ago. In the last 15,000 years the volcano has had four eruptive periods.
The elevation of Mount Hood has varied over the years with modern measurements ranging from 11,239 feet to 11,249 feet. A 1993 expedition to survey the mountain measured it at 11,240 feet, and is said to be accurate within 1.25 inches. The U. S. Geological Society gives Mount Hood a 3 to 7 percent chance of erupting over the next 30 years.
