I haven't seen it mentioned yet in the digest so below is the text of
an AP report in Friday's LA Times:

Mattel to Lay Off 400 in Portland Area

   Toy maker Mattel Inc., plans to lay off about 400 of its 500 workers
in the Portland, Ore., area.  The El SEgundo-based firm said all 115
workers at its Portland distribution center will lose their jobs, as will
285 workers at the company's Beaverton, Ore., factory, where View-Master
reels and viewers have been made since 1950.  Mattel spokesman Sean
Fitzgerald said about 100 remaining employees will be shifted to a new
manufacturing and marketing center in the Beaverton area.  The layoffs
are a result of Mattel's $755-million purchase of Tyco Toys Inc. in March.
