For a brief moment in the late 1980s, Ree- bok actually surpassed Nike to become the biggest brand in the industry. Powered by a simple, massively popular aer- obics shoe, Reebok actually topped Nike in sales and mar- ket share . Ric Long, a veteran of the shoe industry now retired, worked at Reebok in those years. “It was crazy,” he said. “It was management by chaos and panic.” Reebok asked Long to lead its entry into the basketball shoe business. “I questioned why we would do that,” he said. “We were so popular in fitness and with women, what did we want with basketball?” As far as Long is concerned, This stock image shows a pair of Ree- bok shoes. Adidas, which bought Ree- bok in 2006, an- nounced Tuesday that it would sell Reebok. 123RF it was bad marketing that pro- pelled Reebok’s decline.

Reebok recognized it needed to earn its sports bona fides. In 1987, it paid $180 million for Avia, a fast-growing sneaker startup here in the Portland area. But it never clicked, just as the Adidas acquisition never worked two decades later. Reebok’s moment in the sun was brief. Nike came back quickly, retook the industry lead and never looked back.

Reebok’s are in the neighborhood of $2 billion. Adidas is expected to reveal more about its divestiture plan in March when Adidas reveals its annual financial results. “Adidas and Reebok will be able to significantly better re- alize their growth potential independently of each other,” Chief Executive Kasper Ror- sted said. Stocks end mostly lower, led by drops in tech Continued from A11 The lawsuit said the data flies in the face of earlier water reviews in the area by the bu- reau, trout population studies by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nevada De- partment of Wildlife and the bureau’s own grouse protection strategy. “BLM has wholesale ignored the inconsistency of the mine with BLM’s sage grouse plans and associated regulations,” the lawsuit said, noting the project borders one of Nevada’s larg- est remaining populations of greater sage grouse. Bureau spokeswoman Heather O’Hanlon said in an email the agency doesn’t com- ment on pending litigation. Lithium Americas didn’t im- mediately respond to requests for comment. The Thacker Pass mine is planned on federal land above an extinct volcano formed millions of years ago about 25 miles south of the Neva- da-Oregon line. It’s projected to produce 1,000 jobs during construction and 300 once completed, generating $75 mil- lion in state and local tax reve- nue over a decade. The bureau issued a final en- vironmental impact statement and record of decision approv- ing the mine in December, subject to additional permit- ting at the state level. In addition to robbing Bar- tell Ranch of its grazing and water rights in the high des- ert, the lawsuit said the proj- ect threatens trout habitat that Bartell Ranch “has gone to great lengths to protect.” A couple of showers possible INTERNATIONAL 48 contiguous states) National high: 88° at Immokalee, FL National low: -43° at Ely, MN Precipitation: 2.36" at Alexandria, LA In inches as of 5 p.m. yesterday Ski resort New snow Base Anthony Lakes Mtn 5 0-48 Hoodoo Ski Area 3 0-85 Mt.

TROISE AND ALEX VEIGA The Associated Press Stocks mostly pulled back from recent highs Wednesday, weighed down by a slide in technology companies. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1% after giving up an early gain, while the tech- heavy Nasdaq composite gave back 0.6%. Small-company stocks also fell. The Dow Jones Industrial Average inched higher, good enough for its second straight all-time high. The modest pickup was due in large part to gains in Verizon Commu- nications and Chevron, which USGS A Nevada rancher is suing the federal government over the approval of a lithium mine just south of the Oregon border. Among other things, Bartell has moved cattle away from fish habitat, altered grazing ro- tations and built fences to pro- tect streams. The agency’s refusal to con- sult with the Fish and Wildlife Service to determine whether the mine could harm trout is a violation of the Endangered Species Act, the lawsuit said. Bartell Ranch was held to a higher standard when it joined with the bureau and the Fish and Wildlife Service to con- struct about 3,000 feet of fence in 2017 to keep cattle out of a creek with threatened trout. But when Bartell’s lawyers pressed the agency to explain why it didn’t consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service about the much larger mining proj- ect, the lawsuit says its only re- sponse was that effects on trout “are not anticipated to occur from the project, therefore, no formal ... consultation was re- quired.” Intel Continued from A11 In the 2016 layoffs, work- ers over age 40 were more than twice as likely to lose their jobs as younger work- ers. Those over 60 were eight times more likely to be laid off than those under 30. The EEOC document in- dicates only one of the eight cases of alleged age discrim- ination involved an Oregon employee. Intel is the state’s largest corporate employer, with 21,000 people working at its Washington County cam- puses. climbed after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway said it made major new investments in them in the second half of last year. Treasury yields, which have been climbing recently on ex- pectations of higher inflation, mostly fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held near its highest level in a year. Energy prices rose again, adding to a sharp increase the day before due to the frigid weather that’s impacted much of the U.S. The S&P 500 dipped 1.26 points to 3,931.33.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies lost 16.78 points, or 0.7%, to 2,256.11. Optimism that Washington will come through on trillions of dollars of more aid for the economy and encouraging company earnings reports have helped stocks grind higher this month, along with hopes that the coronavirus vaccine rollout will set the stage for stronger economic growth in the second half of this year. The EEOC has repeatedly declined to explain why it has taken several years to investigate the allegations against Intel. However, advocates for older workers say the drawn- out process reflects a chronic failure to investigate and en- force age discrimination in the workplace. They say the commission lacks funding to properly investigate alle- gations, and that federal law requires a higher standard of proof for age discrimination than discrimination against other protected classes. Congress and the Oregon Legislature have each consid- ered stronger protections in the past few years, but neither has acted. However, U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Bea- verton, said Tuesday she is optimistic a bill that passed in the Democratic House last year will fare better in the Senate now that Democrats control that chamber, too. “Age discrimination is still too prevalent in the work- place,” Bonamici said in a written statement. “My office has been working closely with people who have filed age dis- crimination complaints, but the burden and outcomes are often very uncertain.”
