PEOPLE ON THE MOVE Melissa Riverman has joined Western Title & Escrow as an escrow officer. She has more than 27 years of experience in the industry. The Oregon Travel Information Council has announced the election of Drew Roslund as chairman of the council’s governing board. Roslund is a graduate of Oregon State and Washington State universities, and is current president of Be Our Guest Inc., a hospitality-oriented business in Bend. He has served the last four years as a Travel Information Council member. Brett Thomas of Silver Moon Brewing in Bend has been named recipient of the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation American Brewers Guild scholarship. Thomas will attend the American Brewers Guild’s intensive brewing science and engineering course from January through July 2011. The brewing scholarship is a full-tuition grant offered with the co-sponsorship of the American Brewers Guild. Three attorneys from Karnopp Petersen LLP in Bend have been selected for the Oregon Super Lawyers 2010 list and two have been identified as “Rising Stars.” Tom J. Sayeg and Jim Petersen were selected as “Super Lawyers” in the field of business and corporate law, and Mike Dillard for business litigation. Kurt Barker and Jinnifer Jeresek were designated as “Rising Stars” in employment defense litigation and business litigation, respectively. Super Lawyers magazine names attorneys in each state who received the highest point totals from their peers and through independent research. Rising Stars are attorneys who are 40 or younger, or who have been practicing law for fewer than 10 years. Petersen is a fellow in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, has served as state chairman from 1999 through 2004 and is a member of the American Bar Association, Oregon State Bar and Deschutes County Bar Association. Sayeg is a member of the Oregon State Bar Estate Planning and Administration Section Executive Committee, and is a fellow in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. He has been active in the business and taxation sections of the Oregon State Bar, serving in various officer positions and as the chairman of both of those sections’ executive committees.
CDs Continued from C3 He didn’t have an article to cite, but he knows this for sure: CDs just are not in demand the way they were in their heyday. Back then — probably in the 1990s, he said — 75 percent of the store’s sales was in CDs. That has changed. Rock CDs — the store’s biggest category, Schroeder said — have brought in about 42 percent of total sales in December, the month of greatest sales, in the past few years, according to his calculations. Sales of CDs in all genres comprise more than 50 percent of total sales, but not anything near 75 percent. So what’s growing? Vinyl, for one thing. In December 2006, 3 percent of total sales were from records. In December of 2009, that figure was 11 percent. Explaining that, Schroeder said some people like touching the album, putting the needle on the record, hearing the warmer sound, reading the liner notes and enjoying the bigger art. As for the CDs, who keeps buying them? Older people are, Schroeder said. “You always have to have the Beatles, you always have to have the Stones, you always have to have the classics — always, always, always,” he said.

Dillard’s practice emphasizes commercial litigation and assisting clients in the resolution of business disputes with particular experience in real property, corporate, commercial and employment law. Dillard is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, has served as special counsel to the Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability and has served as a lecturer and panelist on various aspects of business litigation. Barker is the chair of Karnopp Petersen’s employment law department and serves on the board of the Human Resource Association of Central Oregon. His practice emphasizes the defense and counsel of clients in all aspects of employment-related issues. For three consecutive years, Oregon Super Lawyers has named Barker a Rising Star in employment litigation defense. Jeresek was appointed to the Oregon State Bar Public Service Advisory Committee, is a member of the J.R. Campbell Inns of Court, the Oregon Women Lawyers, Cascade Women Lawyers and the Deschutes County Bar Association. Jeresek has worked on a variety of matters including disputes involving trade secrets, partnerships, trusts and estates, homeowner associations, neighbor conflicts, tribal matters and other civil litigation. Spanish Immersion Camps Inc. of Bend has announced camp staff and counselors for the summer 2011 camp sessions. All were chosen for their Spanish language and surfing abilities, and previous experience working with children. Cole Ortega was a camp counselor last summer and will return as the boys counselor for session one. Ortega is a junior at Summit High School, part of the Bend Surf Club and a competitive snowboarder and golfer. Taylor Hedlund also was a camp counselor in 2010 and will return for all three sessions of 2011 to assist the director and counselors. Hedlund is a graduate of Summit High School and a
Schroeder believes the CD will continue to be around. “They’ll never go away, just like the record,” he said. The Open Book, on Greenwood Avenue in Bend, specializes in used-book sales and purchases. But about 500 used CDs take up much of the shelf space in a nook near the store’s entrance. There are Yanni and Joe Cocker, Andrea Bocelli and the Cowboy Junkies. Doug Peabody, the store’s owner, said he introduced the nook into the store after buying it from its previous owner, Jerry Weick, in 1995. The stock of CDs on the floor has not changed since then, he said. Before moving back to his native Bend, Peabody had been the manager of the Music Millennium store in Northwest Portland. Music, he said, is “my background. It’s kind of my first love.” In came the CDs — assorted, with a small classical section. Then and now, books have outnumbered CDs in the store about 100 to 1. Most of his business is in books. In the 15 years Peabody has run The Open Book, he has seen a gradual decease in CD demand. “I think it’ll continue to dwindle,” he added. This does not surprise him. Online music sales began in earnest before books, he said. And as a result, people have gotten more comfortable buying music

on the Internet sooner than they have with buying books, he said. If anything, he said, “I’m starting to get a little worried about books — Kindles and iPads, things like that.” Nowadays, he said, “it’s more impulse” inspiring CD purchases than targeted searching or relaxed browsing. He said, “I think people just go, ‘Oh!’ That type of thing.” At Rico’s Market on Northeast Third Street in Bend, the CDs have Spanish lyrics, or at least were made by Spanish speakers. Musical styles include merengue, bachata, reggaeton and salsa. The store also sells DVDs, food, beverages and clothing. Antonio Rico, the owner, says CD sales make up between 10 and 15 percent of total sales. In the summer, though, it can rise to 25 percent. He said his store, which opened in 1995 and has changed locations in Bend more than once, has seen CD sales slide downward in the past few years. He believes people are finding music they want on the Internet, but they aren’t paying for it. What moves faster this time of year? “This is the time of year when I do real good in blankets,” he said. Jordan Novet can be reached at 541-633-2117 or at jnovet@ bendbulletin.com.
Why: Because music bought digitally wants to be free, not imprisoned in your portable player or laptop. It wants to be sent around the home, filling rooms like good old - f a s h io ne d hi-fi. How: Using iTunes for your digital music? Buy Apple’s Airport Express for $99 and connect it to your stereo. When you play music on your computer, you can stream it to the Express and, therefore, your stereo’s speakers. Have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad? Download Apple’s free Remote app and you will be able to control your music from anywhere in the house.
Back up your data Why: Because photos are not the only important things on your computer. With online backup services, you do not have to buy any equipment; you just install software, which sits on secure servers and runs in the background, regularly updating a mirror image of all your files while you spend time on more important things, like confirming that Ben Gazzara really was the bad guy in “Road House” (he was). How: Go to sosbackup.com. Pay $80 a year. Install the software. Sleep easy.
Use a free file-sharing service Why: Because while e-mailing yourself files is a perfectly
Markets Continued from C3 One factor, analysts say, was the unexpected surge in corporate earnings throughout the year, helped largely by cost-cutting. Then the government pitched in: The Federal Reserve’s decision in early November to pump $600 billion into the economy by buying Treasury assets, along with tax cuts passed by the lameduck Congress in December, helped propel a year-end rally, lifting the benchmark S&P index by about 6.5 percent in December alone. On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average closed up 7.8 points, to 11,577.51. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index was less than a point lower, at 1,257.64. The technologyheavy Nasdaq lost 10.11 points, or 0.38 percent, to 2,652.87. While stocks performed well overall for the year, a small group of listings played an outsize role. Within the S&P 500, Levkovich said, the top 50 performing stocks contributed about 60 percent of the jump in the index. Technology was again a star, paced by Netflix, up 219 percent,making it the single best performer in the index. F5 Networks, which makes equipment to manage Internet traffic, was the second-best performer, rising about 146 percent. Cummins, the engine maker, took third place with a 140 percent gain. Automakers also did well, with Ford rising about 68 percent even as General Motors returned to the stock market in a $23 billion initial public offering, the biggest in U.S. history. But many individual investors missed the party, having
decent workaround, there are easier, more elegant ways to move files around — and they do not cost anything, either. How: Go to dropbox.com and set up a free account. You will then get an icon that sits on your desktop. Drag and drop files onto that icon, and they are immediately copied to the cloud. The free account gives you up to two gigabytes of disk space; 50and 100-gigabyte are also available, but they cost $10 or $20 a month. Set up your account on all your other computers, and they all have the access to the same files. You can set up shared, private and public folders, and apps for iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Android mean you can gain access to shared files from anywhere.
Get free antivirus software Why: Because attacks on unwitting users are more widespread and tactics are growing more advanced. How: Windows users should download Avast Free Antivirus. Mac users can download iAntiVirus Free Edition. Both applications will provide a basic level of security against a variety of so-called malware. And they cost zero.
Get a better deal on telecom services Why: Because it does not take much to get them to give you free (or cheaper) services. These companies are generally indifferent to customer needs,
but they are quick to cough up discounts — if you ask. How: Just call and ask — they will probably give you something. Other tactics: Measure your Internet speed, using dslreports.com/speedtest; if it is less than what you are paying for, ask for a free upgrade. Or ask to speak to the cancellation department. That usually scares them.
Calibrate your HDTV Why: Because that awesome 1080p plasma or LCD TV you bought has factory settings for color, brightness, contrast and so forth that are likely to be out of whack. They need to be adjusted. How: Order Spears and Munsil High Definition Benchmark: Blu-ray Edition, a DVD, for $25. Its regimen of tests and patterns will help you adjust your TV’s settings to more natural levels. After you use it, you may want to fine-tune the TV some more, but you can do so knowing you are getting the most out of your display.
Buy a lot of charging cables Why: Because you should never have a gadget’s battery die on you, and they are cheap. Smart phone user? Have a charging cable at the office, one in the car and a couple at home. Laptops? Have enough chargers in the house, so you are not tethered to the den when the power runs low. How: eBay. Search for what you need with terms like “original” or “oem” (original equipment manufacturer). You will often see accessories for as little as one-tenth their normal retail price. Buy them by the gross.
taken their money out of stocks. They were scared off, it seems, because of the volatility that followed the brief 1,000-point drop May 6, as well as lingering concerns from the financial crisis of 2008, including a housing and unemployment hangover. “Investors in general tend to have a reduced tolerance for risk,” said Brian Reid, chief economist of the Investment Company Institute. The government bond market was precarious as well. Typically, bond prices go up and yields drop when economic growth is anemic, reversing course when economic activity picks up and the threat of inflation reawakens. Indeed, as it became clear the economy was sputtering in the spring and the European debt crisis worsened, investors began pouring money into bonds, eventually sending yields to all-time lows by early October. The yield on the two-year government bond, for example, fell below 0.4 percent in early October, a record low. Bonds may be a traditional refuge in turbulent markets, but it was gold, a haven for value since ancient times, that really shined. Like bonds, gold benefited from a flight to safety spurred by the European debt crisis. But it also raced higher on fears that budget deficits in Western countries, including the United States, are unsustainable and that lax monetary policies would weaken the value of paper currencies over time. “People are disenchanted with paper currencies. They want to own something real, and over centuries gold has proven to be real,” Wien said. The returns were real too, with
the typical gold mutual fund, including mining companies and a range of precious metals, moving higher by 40 percent. Gold itself rose from $1,096.95 at the start of the year to $1,418 Friday afternoon. Crude oil, another closely watched commodity, rose from $79.86 a barrel to $91.17 a barrel Friday afternoon, after rising 78 percent in 2009. Underpinning the rally, most analysts said, were strong earnings, but in what is likely to be a worry for next year, the profits were bolstered by job cuts and other restructuring efforts, rather than revenue growth. With only so much room to cut costs, analysts say that kind of performance will be difficult to repeat, perhaps boding ill for stocks this year. Analysts expect profits to increase 13.4 percent in 2011, far lower than the estimated 37.8 percent gain for 2010, according to Thomson Reuters. To make matters worse, Wall Street is brimming with optimism, which in the looking-glass world of investing can actually be a signal to sell. “The good news has been priced in, and the potential negatives have been ignored,” said Jason Hsu, chief investment officer of Research Affiliates, a money manager in Newport Beach, Calif., that oversees $70 billion in assets. “The market is going to get more nervous at these valuations.”
