Reports of Creepy Clowns in Woods Spooking Residents of Greenville, S.C.

      Multiple reports that menacing clowns are lurking in the woods — sometimes, allegedly, offering kids cash to follow them — have the residents of Greenville, S.C., looking over their shoulders and even brandishing guns.According to the incident report, multiple residents, some of them children, said they saw the clowns — who they said were carrying flashing green laser lights — creeping around on the night of Aug. 21. In September 2013, a clown prowling the streets of Northampton in England led to a police investigation. It later emerged that he was simply a college student on his way to cheer up a dying little girl. Commenters on horror movie forums point out that gore movie director Rob Zombie, ex-front man of the band White Zombies, has a new movie, called "31," opening soon. Managers of the complex circulated a flier last week asking residents to "ensure your children's safety — keep them in the house during night hours."

How Caterpillar’s Big Bet Backfired

    Doug Oberhelman spent his first years as Caterpillar Inc.’s chief executive plowing billions of dollars into factories to build more of its familiar yellow machines and move the company deeper into mining equipment. Mr. Oberhelman bet he could grab an outsize share if he could just make more equipment. He spent almost $10 billion world-wide on plants and equipment from 2010 through 2013. Caterpillar said Monday that Mr. Oberhelman would be succeeded as chief executive by Jim Umpleby, a company group president and 35-year veteran. Caterpillar chiefs by tradition haven’t stayed beyond age 65, which suggests Mr. Oberhelman is leaving ahead of schedule. Mr. Oberhelman will remain as executive chairman of Caterpillar until March 31, when he will retire from the company. Caterpillar has reduced its workforce 20% in the past four years, about 30,000 jobs, and has said it expected to close or consolidate as many as 20 plants. In China, Caterpillar said, it has closed one plant and is operating many others at low production rates. Caterpillar in August said it would sell off some of the mining-equipment lines it gained with the Bucyrus acquisition. His strategy was to expand Caterpillar’s dominance into the developing world. In particular, he set sights on markets such as Brazil and China where mining and infrastructure construction were running full tilt. Meanwhile, strong crude prices were driving sales of oil-field-related equipment, especially in North America.

Trump v Clinton: Who won the debate?

     Everyone was looking forward to yesterday's presidential debate featuring the two runner-ups Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton.The prospect that any significant portion of what is sure to be a massive television audience emerged from the evening with any change of opinion, however, is unlikely.If Mr Trump's overarching goal was to offer a performance that would allow him to cobble together an electoral majority on election day, then his sometimes glowering, often aggressive performance will fall far short.Team Clinton, on other hand, has to view this as an opportunity missed. Her supporters were hoping for a political kill shot that would push Mr Trump's remaining supporters toward the exit and turn the last month of the campaign into a glorified mop-up operation.Another telling exchange during the debate was when Mr Trump was asked by an audience member to address the issue of Islamophobia.Given everything that transpired over the 90 minutes, how the debate looked - including the style and demeanour of the participants - seems somewhat insignificant. On the other hand, it contributes to the lasting impression viewers take away from the proceedings.
