Good morning, Hillsboro.

Intel sued former employee Jinfeng Luo in U.S. District Court for $250,000 after he allegedly downloaded over 18,000 files—including records marked confidential and top secret—from his work laptop following his July termination.

Today, the Oregon Department of Forestry announced that traps in the northern Willamette Valley found Mediterranean oak borers in six counties (Clackamas, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Washington and Yamhill) that may carry a fungus harmful to Oregon white oaks.

Scientists are studying how the pest might affect local trees.

LawnStarter ranked Oregon as the seventh best state for fall, noting the state placed 2nd for peak foliage days, 6th for scenic drives, 3rd for forest acreage, and 1st for wineries per 100,000 residents—though its climate ranked 37th.

The ranking offers data that will help locals plan fall trips—key as winter nears.
