Not a single dandelion sprouts from the shelves at the BakerCounty Library,yet weeding among these rows is a constant, and vital, task. Although Diana Pearson, the public services librarian, concedes that when it comes to books, pruning probably is the more appropriate verb. Weeding, the term library professionals use, implies that the people doing the work have the same disdainfortheirtargets as a homeowner has for a patchofcrabgrass thatinvades his well-tended turf. In reality, Pearson said, she and her cadre of volunteers sometimesfeela tw inge ofregret as they go about plucking volumes.

They love books, of course, and banishing even a dogearedora hopelessly outdated example to a giveaway bin or an online storefront can seem almostabetrayal. ''We look forreasons toleave a book,aswellasforreasons to retire a book," Pearson said. But just as the gardener yanks weeds to ensure a bountiful crop, Pearson's book-weeding, a multi-year campaign that's nearing its end, has a specifi cgoal. Making space. Space, in particular,for m ore of the books that library customers actually take home. If you've visited the library recently at 2400 Resort St. you've probably noticed a coupleaislesdevoid ofbooks. That's temporary, said Pear-

son and Library Director Perry Stokes. By weeding both adult fiction and non-fiction books, library officials have made room for about 2,400 more volumes. They11 fill that shelf space with fiction titles, including large-formatversions and genres such as Westerns, science fiction, fantasy and Christian fiction, Pearson said. Most of those books are now shelved in one of the Library District's five branchesHaines, Halfway, Huntington, Richland and Sumpter. There's been little demand in those branches for the volumes that will be moved to Baker City, in particular the largeformat fiction, Pearson said. See Library/Page GA

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Nov. 19, 1964 The U.S. Air Force Radar Station at Baker, including the Beaver Mountain site will be phased out in the 1967 fiscal year, Lt. Col. Frank Hardcastle announced today. The announcement was made this afternoon to some 15 business and civic leaders during one of many meetings across the nation where announcements are being made in local communities. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Nov. 20, 1989 The recession is over in Baker County. The county's unemployment rate dipped from 5.2 percent in August to 4.7 percent in September — the lowest rate for any month since 1978. That's even with the state's unemployment rate, and even lower than the national rate of 5.1 percent. Moreover, it's the lowest of the year so far, and matches or betters the statewide rate for just the second time since 1981. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Nov. 19, 2004 For a man who lived his entire life in Baker City, it sure took a lot to get Leo Adler's biography inside the county limits. The books— all2,500 paperback copiesof"The Spark and the Light" — were stuck in Boise, inside a trucktoo large to park in a downtown parking garage near the U.S. Bank Building. Finally, on Friday, one box of books arrived by hitching a ride on U.S. Bank's airplane. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Nov. 20, 2013 Oregon wildlife officials are considering whether to allow Baker County to add a hydroelectric project to Mason Dam without making it easier for fish to pass over the dam. The project site, along the Powder River about15 miles southwest of Baker City, contains habitat crucial for bull trout, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

OBITUARIES Lloyd Fisher

LOCAL BRIEFING

Iris Fisher. He joined brother Robert and soon had siblings in Marquita and Terry. Raised on horseback with rifle scabbarded in the shadows of the Elkhorn Mountains, he truly represented Eastern Oregon. His childhood ended as a high schooler when his brother contracted polio. After a lengthy hospital fight, Robert iBoblreturned home and Lloyd assisted him in adjusting to life in a wheelchair. Lloyd helped Bob finish school iBob went on to raise a family, obtain a Ph.D., and become an exceptional college professor). This set the example Lloyd maintained throughout his life: if someone needed him he would be there. Lloyd did what was needed for those he loved. He raised a family through wheat and cattle ranching,

logging, law enforcement, and agriculturai sales and distribution. Lloyd met his first wife, Shirley May Barleen iRustyl, while attending Oregon Technological Institute in Klamath Falls. He then joined the military. From January 1956 to January 1959, Lloyd served as a US. Marine. He was sent east and while there fathered a little red-headed'Tar Heel" named Tammy Denise, born in New Bern, North Carolina, while stationed at Camp Lejuene. She is forever the

our: ro em is rocess The problem with the Baker School Board naming the basketball court at Baker Kgh School"Peacock Court" to honor retired Principal Jerry Peacock isn't the person the board chose to recognize. Peacock was a positive influence on thousands of students during more than 20 years as principal. The problem is the process. Or, rather, the lack of a process. Although the board didn't make the decision to name the court in secret, neither did the board formally solicit residents' opinions before approving the naming in late May. That's a pity, because Baker City has a rich basketball tradition that extends decades before Peacock was hired as principal. Many long-time residents would have appreciated a chance to express their opinions about naming the court. Some of them would have been disappointed even so, of course. That's inevitable in any situation, as is the case with the BHS basketball court, when multiple candidates deserve the same honor. When a similar suggestion came up about naming the football stadium after long-time Bulldog supporter Herman Steiger, the public discussion eventually led to naming the football stadium Bulldog Memorial Stadium to honor the many contributions

to Baker Kgh School football. So it's understandable that people were especially aggrieved when the decision-makers didn't even ask their opinion before bestowing a name on the high school basketball court. We hope future school board members consider that if they ever consider naming another athletic venue, or even a building, in honor of a former student or oKcial. Recognizing recent contributions is well-intentioned, but should not exclude discussion about honoring contributions of those who may have also had significant impact on Bulldog sports more than 20 years ago.

Ending government data collection Editorial from The Los Angeles Times: Almost a year and a half after Edward Snowden revealed that the government w as col lectingthetelephone records of millions of Americans, Congress may be abouttoend thatprogram — ifitdoesn't succumb to specious arguments from defenders of the status quo. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is proposing that the chamber take up the grandiosely titled USA Freedom Act introduced by Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., outgoing chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and supported by both the Obama administration and many ithough not alll privacy advocates. The bill would end the bulk collection of so-called telephone metadata — information about the source, destination and duration of calls — that federal investigators have been able to obtain under an elastic interpretation ofthePatriotAct. The data are"queried," or searched, to turn up relationships between telephone customersand suspected terrorists.

Americans were understandably alarmed to learn that the government was in possession ofavastrepository of information that could potentially illuminate myriad aspects of their daily lives. After initially dismissing concerns about the program with the blithe assurance that"nobody is listening to your telephone calls," President Barack Obama embracedthe recommendation of an advisory panel that bulk collection be ended, and ordered thatinvestigators seek a court order when they want to query the phone data. But in the meantime the government has continued its metadata collection. That would end with enactment of the Leahy bill, which is significantly more protective of privacy than a similar measure passed by the House in May. If the Senate acts during the current lame-duck session, the House could quickly concur. Supporters are hopeful because the legislation is backed not only by prominent Democrats — though not,

But there is a potential complication: Some opponents of the bill maintain that the emergence of Islamic State in Syria and Iraq makes it unwise to impose any new restrictions on surveillance of potential terrorist activity. Obama's own advisory panel, however, concluded that information obtained fiom the metadata program"was not essential to preventing attacks" and could have been acquired by other means. To the extent that searches of metadata do enhance U.S. intelligence, they can still be conducted under the Leahy bill — but with privacy safeguards written into the law.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Congress doesn't need to strangle the Internet to save it Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Rep.Greg Waiden, R-Oregon, hasattacked President Barack Obama's call for strict"net neutrality"rules. Oregon's two Democratic senators, Ron Wyden and JeffM erkley,have both supported net neutrality. There are valid concerns in both positions. But it's hard to see how Obama's solution is going to make things better for consumers. It's easy to get whipped into a frenzy about net neutrality. Its fundamental conceit appeals to fairness: Internet service providers should treat all data that travels over their networks equally. For instance, net neutrality advocates argue

a company should not be able to pay more to get a fast lane for its streaming movie service. That might suppress innovation or skew content, because if some content gets the fast lane, everybody else effectively gets the slow lane. Think about that for a moment, though. First, there's the issue of market share. It's always hard for a new business to get started against established competitors. But we don't have the federal government go around forcing establis hed breweries to surrender market share to craft breweries. Then there's the concept of paying more to get more. Consumers already understand they can pay more to get overnight delivery

or pay less and have a package delivered in a few days. The important issue is really that the rules should not be structured in a way thatbusinessesdon'thave areasonable shotto compete or consumers don't have a reasonable ability to access content. With the Internet, though, self-proclaimed consumeradvocateshave long calledfor an extreme solution. They want the federal government to take over the Internet. Obama's proposal is a step or two down from there. He has asked the supposed-to-be-an-independentfederal-agency, the FCC, to apply the public utility rules known as Title II to the Internet. Title II powers would give the FCC more

regulatory authority, but the odd thing is it would not give the FCC the power to ban all Internetfastlanes.Internet serviceproviders wouldjustberequired to offerfastlanesfor sale to everyone. The better approach to the problemwhich is mostly a potential problem at this stage — comes fiom FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. He wants what everybody wantsan open Internet that doesn't affect the ability of a business to compete. He has looked at proposals that limit but don't forbid Internet service providersfrom charging some content providers more than others.Some regulation might be necessary, but the less the better.

stabbed a Linfield College football playerin the chestat a convenience store near the Oregon college campus over the weekend. The Yamhill County District Attorney's office said Monday the assailant is 33-year-old Joventino Bermudez Arenas of McMinnville. They say Arenas stabbed 20-year-old Parker Moore, a Woodinville, Washington native, at a 7-Eleven just after 11 p.m. Saturday. Police shot and killed Arenas when he returned to the

storeand confronted offi cers with a knife. Investigators say the stabbing appears to be random. They don't believe the suspect and Moore knew each other and have not offered any motiveforthe crime. The OregonStateMedical Examiner's 0$ce said M oore died asa resultoftwo stab wounds to the chest, and Arenasdied asaresultof multiple gunshot wounds. In a 911 tape released by authorities on Monday, astoreemployee described witnessing the stabbing. The employee said Moore was buying alcohol when a

STATE BRIEFING Oregon added 10,000 jobs in October SALEM — State figures show that Oregon employers went on a hiring spree this fall, adding nearly 10,000 jobs in October. The state Employment Department said Tuesday that's the largest one-month gain in jobs since August 1995, when more than 10,400 jobs were added. The agency said hiring was particularly strong in three sectors: manufacturing, health care, and professional and business services. In all there were 9,900 new jobs recorded from a survey of employers. The figure is seasonally adjusted. Despite the job gains, the unemployment rate didn't budge from 7 percent. It's been about that level for months. That's because as hiring has gotten stronger, people who hadn't been looking for work have been flooding back into the job market.

Searchers recover climber's body PORTLAND — Searchers have recovered the body of a39-year-old Oregon climber who fell900 feetashe descended in darkness from the summit of a Cascade Range peak. After extreme weather and the threat of avalanches hampered searchers for three days, a National Guard helicopter spotted the body of Benjamin Newkirk on Sunday. Rescue workers on the ground then transported it down Middle Sister, a 10,052-foot volcanic peak in central Oregon's Three Sisters Wilderness that's 100 miles southeastofPortland.

Weather shiR coming to Northwest SEATTLE — Cold, dry weather will continue for a couple more days in the Northwest, but forecasters say precipitation should return by midweek. Days of stagnant air have led to burn bans and wide areasofdense fog,especially eastofthe Cascades. The National Weather Service expects clouds to move back Wednesday with a chance of rain, snow or freezing rain depending on the local conditions. Forecasters expect more rain Friday and a wet weekend with temperatures returning to normal.

LIBRARY

bookshelvesthat aren't

Continued from Page1A "I'm excited to have the new space," she said. Freeing room for more books isn't the only purpose for weeding, though. Stokes said the book collectionthe districthas amassed over the past centuryabout 117,000 volumes, 95,000 or so in the main branch in Baker City — in effect overfilled the library's shelf space. Sacrificing reading areas, computer rooms and other public spacesto add shelves is not a viable optionthere's no surplus of those public spaces now — so weeding is necessary, he said. But the benefit of weeding isn't limited to creating more space for books, Pearson said. Although many visitors might assume that libraries simply cram as many books as possi ble onto a shelf,that's neither efficient nor customer-friendly, said Pearson, who worked as the librarian at Baker High School before starting at the public library seven years ago. Rather, librarians prefer to leaveempty space at the ends of each shelf. This leaves space for new books, of course, and for books that are in circulation once they're returned. But Pearson said research alsoshows that people prefer

The effect isn't merely aesthetic ,either. Studies also show that readersare more likely to notice a particularbook,and possibly check it out, if their eyes aren't overwhelmed by a shelf that's packed with books from one end to the other, Pearson said. It'salsoeasiertofi nd a title you're looking for on an uncluttered shelf, Stokes sald. Pearson hopes to finish the project, with all the shelves stockedat an appropriate level and the expanded fiction selection in place, by Valentine's Day. Pearson admits that's an ambitious goal. But she also said it would be an impossible one without her group of volunteers. She estimates that volunteers donate about 32 hours each week, on average, to the weeding campaign. There's more than one way to weed books, but Pearson said the strategy she and her volunteers employ is a slow and methodical process. The easiest method would be to use the district's software to pinpoint books that haven't been checked out for, say, the past five years — what librarians call the "dusty" list, Stokes said — and then pluck all those volumes. The theory is

that there's no need to keep a book if nobody's reading it. But although they're employing that strategy as a w ay to identify books forpossible retirement, both Pearson and Stokes believe that method, if used exclusively, would be short-sighted. They said that since the Library District was formed in 1901ithas amassed a collect ion thatboastsim pressive "breadth and depth"in content. '%e're really proud of what this community has built over more than 100 years," Stokes said. "I have a commitment to protecting that," Pearson sald. That includes keeping many books, and particularly fiction titles, even if they're rarely checked out. There's a couple reasons, she said, why non-fiction books, in general, make bettercandidatesforweedingbeing "retired," as librarians prefer to say. One is that some nonfiction books are outdated, either because their information has been superseded, as is commonly the case with medical and legal books, or, occasionally, because they contain inappropriate racial language. Another factor is that most reference material in non-fiction books is available online — including through

ECONOMY Continued from Page5A Coos County has recovered about two in 10 jobs it lost in the most recent downturn, Curry County only half that. The latter county, bordered by California and the Pacific Ocean, is one of only four statewide where more than 10percent ofworkers — about 800 people— are unemployed. That rate did not change at all in the past year. 'That's probably the one thing you find in rural communities on the south coast, is this high degree of hopelessness," Lehman said. Near the opposite corner of Oregon in Union County, where Tarter runs the food bank in the city of the same name, joblessness appears less severe. Seven hundred people, or 7.4 percent of the labor market, are unemployed and looking for jobs. More people started turning to the food bank three years ago, and demand has remained high since, Tarter said."This month is Thanksgiving, so it will be busy, too." As housing markets and government budgets begin to improve, so are conditions in many parts of rural Oregon, McMullen said. The two industries often have an outsize impact in non-urban areas. "It's no coincidence that our rural areas turned around at the same time that those industries did," he said. Collectively, the areas outside of Oregon's main populationhubs ofPortland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford and Corvallis have been gaining new jobs for more than a year,expanding near a 1percent annual rate. The counties that continue to struggle the most tend to have smaller populations and long drives from major metro areas, said Weber, the Oregon State economist. Small places don't generate enough income internally to keep the economy circulating. They must bring money in, Weber said. '%hen you're in a rural place, you've got to find something that makes you different and can generate enough activity that people build businesses around it," he said.

LINFIELD Continued from Page 5A "He's totally unconscious now," the employee eventually sard. Arenas' live-in sister Rosalinda Bermudez told KOINTV through a translator 4ttp//bit.ly/1ETGIUO l that Arenas came into their home Saturday night, told family members he had done something, and was going back to turn himself in to police. Bermudez said Arenas had no problems with drugs or mental illness, and worked at a Christmas tree farm. Arenas died at Willamette Valley Medical Center. Moore, a sophomore, was flown to Oregon Health and Science University, where he also died. He was majoring in business management, served as a resident adviser, and played linebacker on the football team. Linfield is a private, liberal arts college of about 2,500 students in McMinnville, 40 miles southwest of Portland. The school said counselors were available for students. A fence near the football field was turned into a memorial for Moore, who also was mourned Sunday at a vigil in his home town of Woodinville, Washington. Over 20 sub-dividable acres in Baker City!

CHAMPIONS CLASSIC:BIG NIGHT IN COLLEGE BASI t',ETBALL

BRIEFING Alabama jumps to No. 1 in College Football Playoff; Ducks stay at No. 2

By Michael Marot AP Sports Wgter

INDIANAPOLIS — Kentucky coach John Calipari made one simple adjustment to his game plan Tuesday night. He scrapped the zone. The Wildcats didn't need it. Instead, a fierce manto-man defense got No. 5 Kansas out of sync and No. 1 Kentucky ran away with its most impressive win of the season — a 72-40 victory in the State Farm Champions Classic. aWe kindofbum-rushed them a little bit and every time they looked there were more tanks coming over the hill," Calipari said."It wasn't substitutes, itw asreinforcements. It kind of gets to you a little bit." It also elicited exactly the kind of reaction Calipari wanted from his team. After Kentucky (3-Ol won its first two games by 40 and 19 points, they dominated Kansas despite having only two players reach double figures. Dakari Johnson had 11 points, Andrew Harrison had 10 and Willie Cauley-Stein finished with seven points and 10 rebounds. But they didn't need big-

time scorers Tuesday.

The Jayhawks (1-1l made only 11 baskets — eight in the first half, three in the second. They shot just 19.6 percent from the field and were 3 of 15 on 3-pointers. Kansas finished with its lowest point total since Bill Self took over as coach in

2003-04, easily falling below the 49-pointeffortagainst Arizona in November 2005 and barely avoided becoming the first Kansas team to finish with fewer than 40 pointssincea 37-pointeffort against Oklahoma State in February 1962. W ayne Selden Jr.led the

Jayhawks with nine points. Cliff Alexander finished with eight. aWe never once did anything that resembled a team offense at all and I hope they were the primary reason why," Self said after sipping a glass of water and joking that he needed a stronger drink to help ease the pain. "I knew that we haven't practicedwellordone some things real well, but I didn't think it would be like this. No matter how bad we shot it the first half we actually proved that we could shoot it a heck of a lot worse in the second." Kentucky took advantage of Kansas' errant shots and never let up. The Wildcats jumped to a 35-17 lead with 3:06 left in the first half, then allowed Kansas to close within 38-28 at the half. Kentucky then started the second half with six straight points, didn't allowa basket foralmost six minutes, then extended the lead to 64-36 with and continued pulling away. Kansas finally cracked the 40-point mark when Perry Ellis made two free throws with 2:53 left, but Kansas didn't score again.

No.4Qukehan lesMichigan tate By Michael Marot AP Sports Wnter

INDIANAPOLIS — Michigan State coach Tom Izzo believes his team will get better in time. He just has to be patient, stick to the game plan and survive some of the growing pains the Spartans endured Tuesday night. Quinn Cook scored 19 points and Jahlil Okafor finished with 17 points and ive rebounds, leading No. 4 f Duke to an 81-71 victory over No. 19 Michigan State in

the State Farm Champions Classic. "It's hard to judge my team until I get my guards back, but I'll probably take away m ore posi tive than negative," Izzo said."I love this tournament. I think it's great for college basketball and then next time we play in it, we'll be a much better basketball team. I can promise you that." He's hoping they're good enough by April to return to Indianapolis, the site of this year's Final Four, and perhaps a rematch with the

Blue Devils (3-0l. The Spartans (1-1l were led by Branden Dawson with 18 points and nine rebounds. Travis Trice had 15 points and eight assists. That wasn't good enough against Okafor, who watched the showcase event last year trying to pick a school. On Tuesday, he methodically pickedapart one ofAmerica's perennial powers. "I thought I played decent, but as a team we played great," Okafor said after the Blue Devils' third straight

double-digit victory."It was a really big win for us. They gave usalotofchallenges." Okafor overcame most of them in his first big NBA audition. Against the defending Big Ten tournament champs, the 6-foot-11 freshman who is alreadyconsidered a lottery pick showed everyone he can postup,drive to the basket, spin away from defenders, back them down and draw fouls. He blocked two shots, had two steals and finished 8 of 10 from the field.

With just three weeks until the College Football Playoff committee releases its final ranxkings, Alabama, Oregon and Florida State seem to be in control of their championship chances. Keeping winning and the Crimson Tide, Ducks and Seminoles should be in. The race for the fourth and final spot in the playoff is shaping up to be a tussle between four teams. Alabama jumped from fifth to first after handing previously undefeated and top-ranked Mississippi State its first loss on Saturday. The Bulldogs slid to fourth. Oregon remained in second place and Florida State in third. The Seminoles are the only undefeated team left in a Big Five conference. Florida State fans might not be happy about how their team isbeing treated,butthe Seminoles appear tobe safe if they can keep winning right through the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Same goes with Alabama in the Southeastern Conference and Oregon in the Pac-12. After that, things get complicated. Mississippi State is followed by TCU, which slipped to No. 5 after a closer-than-expected win against Kansas on Saturday. Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 6, ahead of TCU's Big 12 rival Baylor. The Bulldogs play Vanderbilt on Saturday but finish the regular season at Ole Miss, giving them a chance for another resume-boosting victory. They could use it because their best wins from early in the season (LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn) have been tarnished a bit lately. Ohio State is in position to play in the Big Ten championship if it wins out. The Big 12 has no conference championship game. TCU and Baylor would be co-champs if each finishes 11-1, but Baylor beat the Horned Frogs in Waco, Texas last month.

Payton leads Oregon State to easy win over NAIA Corban University CORVALLIS (APl — So much for soaking in the win. Oregon State coach Wayne Tinkle wasn't pleased with his team's performance after an 86-62 win over Corban on Tuesday night. aWe just had some lazy habits tonight," Tinkle said, referring to players not keeping their hands up on defense, or getting lost in offensive sets.aWe'vegot to have more focus, more sense of urgency." But Tinkle also pointed to bright spots for Oregon State Gary Payton II had 16 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, and Langston Morris-Walker added 16 points and had five rebounds for the Beavers(2-0l,who had fi ve players score in double figures. "Gary was all over the floor tonight," Tinkle said. Payton and Morris-Walker credited teammates' willingnesstopasstheballforthe Beavers'widespread scoring. Jordan Carter led Corban (3-1l with 18 points and five rebounds. The game was an exhibition for Corban, an NAIA school, but counted toward Oregon State's record. The Beavers used a considerable size advantage to outrebound the Warriors 37-24. Oregon State also shot 57 percent from the floor,com pared to 39.5percent for Corban.

Trail Blaiersrallyfrom1 -yointdeficit totoyPelicans ByAnne M. Peterson AP Sports Wnter

PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers have proven their mettle with a couple ofbig comebacks this season. Last week they rallied fiom 23 points down to defeat Charlotte, and then Monday night they erased a 16-point, third-quarter deficit to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 102-93. aWe don't want to do that often,"

LaMarcus Aldridge said. But it's nice to know they can. 'That will pay off down the road in January and February because we11 know thatno matterwhat, we have a chance to come back and win the game," coach Terry Stotts said. Damian Lillard scored 24 points, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:14 left, to help Portland win its fifth straight game — the longest current streak in the NBA.

Aldridge, back after missing a game with an illness, added 22 points and nine rebounds. Anthony Davis had 31 points and 11 rebounds for the Pelicans. Wesley Matthews hit a 3 to tie it at 91, and Robin Lopez's layup gave Portland its first lead of the second half with 2:23 left. Lillard's 3-pointer put the Blazers in fiont 96-93, and they made free throws the rest of the way.

Portland outscored the Pelicans 34-13 in the fourth quarter. aWe had good looks. We just missed our opportunities," Davis said.aWe'vegotto play betterwith the lead. We were kind of forcing up shots instead of settling the ball down. Aldridge returned after sitting out a game because of an upper respiratory illness. Portland starting forward Nicolas Batum missed his

fourthstraight game because ofa bruised right knee. Batum had said he hoped to return in time for this game. The Pelicans were without center Omer Asik, who is nursing a sore back. The 7-footer was averaging nine points and 10 rebounds. Alexis Ajinca started in his place. The Blazers jumped out to an 8-0 lead but the Pelicans came back to tieitat11on Davis'basket.

When it comes to the percentage ofhomes with computers and high-speed Internet access, Oregon scored well above the nation as a whole last year. About 92 percent of Oregonians lived in households with computers in 2013 and 82 percent in homes with high-speed Internet, according toareportreleased last week by the U.S. Census Bureau. For the nation, the estimateswere 88 percent and 78percent,respectively. While the Census Bureau has previously surveyed citizens about computer use and Internet access, the results were generally limited to the state level. The report,"Computer and Internet Use in the United States: 2013,"contains more detailed results, down to metropolitan statistical areas, which are cities with populationsof50,000orm ore or urban areas with more than onecit y and populationsofat least100,000.Forexample, theBend-Redmond Metropolitan StatisticalArea comprises all of Deschutes County.

Another common refrain is that it's These highly touted devices simply do cheaper to keep your home at a constant temperature, even when you're not automatically what you could do yourself, namely walk over to the thermostat home."Almost never true," Sherman

said, noting again that homes with heat pumps can be an exception. "If the system is running less, it means it's using less energy," he said. SaystheU.S.Department ofEnergy on www.energy.gov, 'You can easily save energy in the winter by setting the thermostat to 68 degrees while you're awake and setting it lower while you're asleep or away from home." Figure you save up to 1 percent per year on your heating bill for each degree you set back the thermostat for eight hours, such as when you're sleeping or at work. A 10-degree drop could be 10 percent savings.

Windows warning Marketers of window replacements have the story half right. Replacing drafty windows with energy-efficient ones will save on energy use. But windows are so expensive, often thousands of dol lars,thatthebreak-even willbe measured in decades. Among energy upgrades aimed at saving money, replacing windows might rank dead last. "On the cost-benefit priority list, windows are usually behind air sealing, insulation and system efficiency improvements," Sherman said. That said, if you have decided to replacewindows fora differentreason — perhapscosmeticreasons orto elim inate drafts — you might as well pay for highly efficient ones. ''While replacing them just for energy may be quite costly, moving to highefficiency windows when they need to be replaced anyway is almost always a goodidea,"Sherman said.'The marginal difference is small." What should you do? It's not rocket science. Sealing gaps and cracks around windows, doors, ducts, pipe cutouts and other areas is among the most costeffectiv e moves.

He saidwolves need tobedelisted across the entire nation. ''Wolves are not endangered," Steen said."The solution is going to have to be a political solution because they've used the wolf as a political pawn." Delisting wolves from the state endangered list requires five criteria, including the minimum of four breeding pairs with two pups for three consecutive years.

Ifhe overreached in the hiring of professi onal staff,eitherby hiring toomany people or by paying them more than he liked, his employees paid for it by being subjected to immature behavior or by an arbitrary decision to eliminate the position.

"Once the conservation population objective isachieved,theprocessto consider delisting will be initiated," the wolf plan says. Morgan said the plan is designed specifically so that meeting the conservation objective numbers will support the delisting process. However, delisting must be signed off on by the Oregon Wildlife Commission. Morgan said the commission's approvalwillbebased on staffrecommendations, available science and public input.

he financial markets may continue to be volatil eoverthenextseveral weeks as the markets looks fora direction. Declines in the market are never fun for investors, although they do present the opportunity to evaluate your risktolerance.Over the last 15 years, most investorshave a diferent view of risk than investors in the 1980s and 1990s. Risk is defined by Investopedia as "the chance that an investment's actual return will be different than expected." Remember there is a difference between temporary declines in the value of an investment and permanent loss, which is when a company goes bankrupt. A good point to remember and use to stay in perspective is that everything involves risk; nothing in life is certain. The one thing you can control is how you manage investment risk. Here are some ideas on managing risk with your investments. • To avoid permanent loss diversify, diversify, diversify. You can diversify instantly by investing in groups of companiesthat areprofessionally managed or groups that replicate an index of some sort. You can also diversify by the amount of companies you own. A good rule of thumb is no more than 5 percent to 10 percent of your investments in any one individual company.You might forexample invest5 percent ofyour portfolio in 20 companies. You can also invest in different types of asset classes such as equity and fixed income. • Consider moving some or all of the companies you own to "defensive" companies, which simply means they provide a constant dividend and stable earnings regardlessofthe state of the overall market. Defensive companies/securities oftenhave what isknown as a low Beta. Beta is the tendency of a security's returns to respond to swings in the market. A Beta of 1 indicates that the security's price will move with the market. A Beta ofless than 1 indicates that the security

But when a company focuses on how they can do the job of delivering what they promise to customers faster, betterand perhaps lessexpensively, the savings are not only

will be less volatile than the market.For example a Beta of.8 percent indicates the security's price will be 20 percentlessvolatile than the market. • If you use your investm ents to provide allor a part of your income, evaluate how much of the withdrawal is dividends, interest and principal. If you rely on principal growth for a portion of your income, consider moving one to two years of the amount of your principal withdrawal to savings or an account that doesn't fluctuate. If your investments do well you won't have as much gain, but by the same token if your investments go down you won't be forced to sell something that has declined in value • If you don't need income from your investments, reinvestthe dividends back into the company. This is known as a DRIP, Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Most companies that pay dividends offer DRIPs. They are a very valuable tool, as most DRIPs allow you to buy shares commission free in additiontobeing a form of dollarcostaveraging,w hich is the method of buying a fixed dollar amount, in this case the dividend, on a regular schedule, regardless of the price. This way you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high. In my opinion, this is an excellent long-term move; over time this may averageoutin a lowerprice per share. There are many ways to manage risk with your investments, some simple, some complex. The main component of successful risk management is to have a plan ahead of time and stick to it.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Severalfeetoflake-effectsnow paralyzedthe Buffalo area Tuesday, forcing state troopers on snowmobiles to deliver blankets to stranded motorists on the New York State Thruway on a wintry day when temperatures fell to &eezing or below in all 50 states. In a region accustomed to highway-choking snowstorms, this one is being called one of the worst in memory. Snow blown by strongwinds forced theclosing of a 132-mile stretch of the Thruway, the main highway across New York state. Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said about 140 vehicles were stuck. Troopers used snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles to deliver supplies, state police Capt. Ed Kennedy said. "Other than wishing they weren't stuck in traffic, they're warm and safe in their vehicles," Kennedy said. Poloncarz was expecting the remaining motorists to be evacuated by nightfall because of plunging temperatures. Meteorologist ssay temperatures in all 50 states fell to &eezing or below on Tuesday. They say the low temperatures were more reminiscent of January than November. In New Hampshire and elsewhere, icy roadsled toaccidents. Lake-effect storms in M ichiganproduced gale-force winds and as much as 18 inches of snow, and canceled several flights at the Grand Rapids airport. Schools closed in the North Carolina mountains amid

DEARABBY:I have had very few female friends in my li fe. I have a hard time relating to other women. Myfrance doesn't approve of me having close friendships with other men. I recently met a lesbian couple whose company I enjoy. My france doesn't like us being frr'ends because "they are trying to turn me gay."Abby, this is ridiculous. I have never been attracted to women, and these ladies have never brought up the possibility that I may be lesbian, as they know I am straight. How can I make my france come to terms with our friendship? I'm thinking of calling off the engagement.

In Atlanta, tourists Morten and Annette Larsen from Copenhagen were caught off-guard by the 30-degree weather as they took photos of a monument to the 1996 summer Olympics at Centennial Olympic Park.
