How ' bout these smart phones? Sort of wondering about anyone that attended J C High School 1948 - 1953. Been a while huh?" I was in the marching band as a twirler but stupidly quit school much too soon. Would have graduated in 1953. So excited to find this site and hope to hear from someone to visit with. I now live in Texas and not pushing a snow shovel.
I did not attend JC High. I was stationed at Ft Riley in 1947-48. I'm looking for my friend Marcella McQuire. I'm not sure of spelling. If there was a Catholic High School, she may have went to it and graduated 48 or 49. I would appreciate any information. tours5166@sbcglobal.net Thanks!!!
joann Humphreys hello facebook 121 sig Bn.
I think that high school is a great place where you can develop an organizational leadership that will help you in your career. I am really happy that Junction High has such great kids and i think that i will start to believe in the future of this country one day. I hope that they'll become great men and women.
I am putting together a 60's reunion for those that went to high school in the 60's in Augsburg, Germany. We know that many of our fellow students came back to Ft. Riley in the 60's when their dads went to Vietnam. We are looking for many, but we do know that one of our Alum - Glenn Crouch Class of 1967 was in school there in 1966-67. He had an older brother by the name of John Crouch.
If any of you know of either of them, please contact me at treps117@att.net. Also if you know of any others that would have been there in the 60's in high school who came from Augsburg, Please let me know.
Tutors range from postgraduates to professionals with PhDs in their fields of expertise. All tutors are highly qualified.
I'm looking for Anita Graves that graduated 1970. Hopefully, you remember me? Email me at mgsivills@yahoo.com or cal 301-675-5936.
I'm looking to get ahold of my uncle. (Clyde) Mike Rickards. I think he would've been in the 1965 class and still might live in Junction City. If anyone has a number for him please email me at apr29@email.arizona.edu. Thanks and much appreciated!
Hey everybody! Jan Gooldy Kimbrell has graciously accepted the position to be the coordinator of our JCHS Class of 1972 Fortieth Reunion !!! So now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party ! Join the committee and send Jan your thoughts...I'm gonna be a guest this year! Jan I'll be glad to help in any way you need! Everybody join in the Class of 1972 Party on the Prairie on facebook.

Renan Barao vs. Eddie Wineland official as UFC 161 headliner
Matt Erickson
March 6, 2013 6:25 pm ET
A title fight between interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao (30-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and former WEC bantamweight champ Eddie Wineland (20-8-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) will headline UFC 161.
Sources with knowledge of the planned bout told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that it has been verbally agreed to on one side. ESPN initially tweeted news of the fight today while citing UFC President Dana White.
UFC officials later issued a formal announcement.
UFC 161 takes place June 15 at MTS Centre in Winnipeg and is the promotion's first visit to the Manitoba province in Canada. Already booked for the event are Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, and Jake Shields-Tyron Woodley.
The UFC recently formalized those fights, and teased that a UFC 161 main event would be announced soon. However, additional sources told MMAjunkie.com that Barao, who just this past month fought Michael McDonald in London, was awaiting medical clearance following that fight, which he won with a fourth-round submission. Wineland, however, is good to go following his most recent win in December.
Barao beat Urijah Faber by unanimous decision in July to win the interim belt and run his unbeaten streak to 30 fights. He upped that number to 31 with his arm-triangle choke tap-out of McDonald this past month in UFC on FUEL TV 7's main event.
Wineland, who was the first 135-pound champion in WEC history, has won two straight fights and six of his past eight. Before coming to the UFC, he closed out his WEC career with four straight wins, including back-to-back "Knockout of the Night" performances against Will Campuzano and Ken Stone.
In his first fight in the UFC, he lost a unanimous decision to Faber, who went on to a title fight against Dominick Cruz. Wineland's next outing was another decision loss, this time to Faber teammate Joseph Benavidez. But with the two-fight skid, he rebounded with a "Fight of the Night" knockout of Scott Jorgensen this past June and a split-decision win over Brad Pickett at UFC 155 in December.
News of the interim title fight, though, apparently means the hoped-for timetable for champion Cruz's return to the octagon will be on the high end of the estimate, or perhaps longer. In December, it was announced that Cruz (19-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) needed a second knee surgery and the recovery time could be six to nine months.
Cruz hasn't fought since an October 2011 win over Demetrious Johnson, who is now the UFC's flyweight champion. He coached opposite Faber on Season 15 of "The Ultimate Fighter," but an injury during that live season's run forced him out of their planned title fight, and Barao got the call to fight for the interim belt.
For the latest on UFC 161, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

About Joel
Okay, I don't normally post two movie trailers on the same day. But this is the film I've been anticipating the most for 2009. What do you think?
Posted by Joel Mayward at 2:23 PM
P.I.R.L. Design's May 14, 2009 at 5:16 PM
I want to see it.
my high score on the dorkorometer might show with this comment, but here i go anyway.
reading the road was such a spiritual experience for me that seeing it in picture somehow cheapens the experience. the drear of mccarthy's apocalypse contrasted with the relationship of the boy and his father has too many metaphysical layers to become something portrayed on screen to me. the tautness of the written word in the road is certainly not projected in this trailer that makes it seem like another will-smith-apocalyptic flick that paid a little more attention to the set and getting a good lead actress.
some books shouldn't become films (i know... you are film guy:). like albert camus' the stranger, anything by jd salinger, and any of my other favorite books. :)
okay i just totally judged a movie by its trailer. will i go see it in theater? no. will i netflix it? yeah, probably....:)
Cam-Fu May 15, 2009 at 8:21 AM
I'm worried about this film. Going by your liking of the book, it has such great potential. But looking at the inexperience of the director and writer and having eight producers, I'm hesitant. Another thing too is that Dimension Films isn't really known for pushing out Oscar winning movies. On one hand, that could be why they are waiting to release this movie in the Fall, but on the other hand, the film has been in it's final cut since November 2008 and pushed back a few times.
On the bright side, with a $20 million budget, the film should have no problem earning a profit. I'll see it.
Joel Mayward May 15, 2009 at 8:33 AM
@Ryan, me too.
@alaina, I'm a film guy, but I'm a book guy too. :) The difficulty for me is separating the two when an adaptation is made. Should I critique the film on how closely it kept to the book's form, structure, and story arc? Should the film be critiqued on its own creative merits? Or is it a combination of the two?
I believe "The Road" will be an important film because it has the potential to capture the current American zeitgeist in an artistic and profound way. We're in a time where people are frightened and the horizon doesn't hold much hope, where we're worried about finances, pandemics, war, and our own souls. A film about carrying the fire through the darkest of valleys could be the most important film of the year. I too am worried that one of my favorite books will be turned into something similar to Shyamalan's "The Happening." I am also curious about my emotional response as I will soon be a father with a son.
And I agree: Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" or Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury" are wonderful books that would be terrible films. I recently watched the film version of Orwell's "1984" and it was awful. Though there is talk of turning Yann Martel's "Life of Pi" into a film, which intrigues me.
@Cam, the director, John Hillcoat, directed one of the best contemporary westerns I've ever seen, "The Proposition." Let's hope he can maintain the dark grittiness and meditative nuance from his previous film. Or this could be the case of taking a great indie director and having him put out Hollywood garbage.
Also, I'm not convinced about your theory that many producers makes for a poor film. Looking at last year's Best Pic nominees: Frost/Nixon had 9, Slumdog Millionaire had 8, Milk had 7, Benjamin Button had 5, and The Reader had an astounding 14.
Well, I never said my theory wasn't flawed. I guess I need to really get specific when I cite too many producers being a problem. I understand that even having two producers on one project can cause problems. Producing becomes a problem for me when there are too many regular producers having a hand on the script and editing. I've never seen The Reader, but I'm willing to bet that one of the movie's flaws is its producing. It has six credited producers and co-producers; out of my top three movies of last year: Slumdog only has two, The Dark Knight has three, and WALL-E has two.
There are certainly going to be exceptions to my rule, but I'll keep watching this trend just in case.

Many people believe that to be an effective manager you have to give orders to the people on your team or in your department. They are wrong. Orders should be reserved for emergency situations. Instead, offer direction and encourage employees to define the best way forward through the use of open-ended questions.
When you give orders, you tell someone to do something. "Put that file on my desk," is an order. So is, "Put Roger on the late shift." When you give an order, you do not allow the other person any latitude to think about what to do or how to do it. All they can do is comply with your order.
By doing this, you are suppressing creative and critical thinking and problem-solving and stifling learning. Instead of giving orders and telling someone what to do, good managers offer direction and provide high-level instructions. Instead of telling people how to do something, you tell them what you want to be done and leave the rest up to their efforts.
A more effective approach than issuing orders is to describe the work to be completed and ask for ideas and input. Most people prefer to have some degree of control over how they complete their work. Your role as a manager is to describe the end goal or target. You own the "What" however, where possible, delegate the "How" to encourage buy-in and stimulate creative thinking.
When you tell an employee what you want to be done, instead of giving an order, you give them the freedom to come up with their best way of completing the task. They are challenged to think for themselves and even to think creatively. While their ideas may not always match your view on the best method to complete the assignment, it is important to recognize there may be multiple effective methods to get the job done. Perhaps the employee will come up with a better approach.
Learn to present new assignments as challenges. Describe the underlying problem to be solved or opportunity to be realized. If possible, describe the goals for the assignment. And then, draw upon one of the manager's most effective questions: "How do you want to go about tackling this assignment?"
What do you perceive are the different approaches to completing this assignment?
Which of the possible approaches do you perceive you will take?
What are the benefits to your approach?
What are some of the potential risks?
What help will you need from myself or others?
Your open-ended questions are empowering for your employees. Instead of requiring them to conform to their perception of your method, you are encouraging them to think broadly about the task and the implications of the different approaches. Your willingness to let them select the approach shows that you trust them to make good decisions. Your challenge to think through the potential risks increases their possibility of avoiding or mitigating those risks.
Orders are generally very clear while describing the task and desired results leave room for interpretation. So when you give instructions instead of orders, you need to explicitly define the intended results.
Instead of saying, "I'd like you to review the past month's data and get back to me on it," be more precise. For example, you could say, "Please review the past month's data. Ideally, I would love to hear your analysis of the data and recommendations for how we should proceed. The management team is looking for our ideas on the new project investments, and your efforts here are critical to this initiative. The meeting is on Thursday, so if you complete this by Tuesday, it gives us time to talk through your findings and recommendations during our weekly meeting on Wednesday morning. Thanks!"
The use or context of the assignment.
The time-frame or as needed, specific due date.
Your appreciation for the individual's efforts.
Exceptions to the "Don't give orders" rule include situations involving emergencies or the health or safety of individuals. The right orders at the right time can save lives, prevent injuries, and stave off potential disasters. From military to law enforcement to firefighting or the hospital emergency room or surgery suite, there absolutely are situations where direct orders are required. However, if your environment is less volatile than those situations, use orders sparingly.
Your job as a manager is to get things done. However, it also means getting things done through others. When you give orders, you limit the group to your level of expertise. When you give instructions, you let the employees contribute whatever they can. The next time you start to give an order, give instructions instead. Tell the employee clearly what you want to be done. Let them figure out how to do it. It is a better solution for both of you.

Workers Memorial Day to be observed with Salem ceremony
Salem, OR — Not all Oregon families experience the safe return of their loved one following a day at work. Oregon workers who died on the job will be honored with a ceremony Tuesday, April 28, at noon in Salem. Oregon's Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA), a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, invites all Oregonians to attend the Workers Memorial Day observance. The event will take place at the Fallen Workers Memorial outside the Labor and Industries Building on the Capitol Mall.
The memorial service, coordinated by the Oregon AFL-CIO, will feature remarks from Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.
"Achieving prosperity in Oregon should include all workers returning home safely at the end of their shifts," said Gov. Brown. "This is not just a safety issue, it is an economic development issue that is as important as job creation is to ensuring Oregon's families can thrive."
The ceremony will include the reading of the names of Oregon workers who died on the job in 2014. Oregon OSHA Administrator Michael Wood and Oregon AFL-CIO President Tom Chamberlain will also be among the event speakers.
"The Oregon AFL-CIO is committed to advocating for the safety and well-being of every worker in the state of Oregon," said Chamberlain. "On April 28, we mourn the fallen. Through that mourning, we will reinvigorate our commitment to fight as hard as we can for the living by making sure Oregon's workers are getting the right gear, the right training, and the right precautions to do their jobs as safely as possible."
Through a partnership of labor, business, and government working together to improve workplace safety and health conditions in Oregon, the number of fatal workplace incidents eligible for workers' compensation benefits has been cut by about 75 percent since the Oregon Safe Employment Act was enacted in 1973.
"As the rate appears to level off after decreasing for decades, we need to avoid the dangerous belief that we have done all we can do," said Wood. "We have not. We can - and must - do more."
The annual Workers Memorial Day serves as a nationwide day of remembrance. It recognizes the thousands of U.S. workers who die each year on the job and the more than 1 million people in the U.S. who are injured each year at work. The observance is traditionally held on April 28 because Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act on that date in 1970.

Maria Sharapova saga shows why sports stars and big brands are uncomfortable bedfellows
Hunter Ruthven
You might not have heard of him, but an analyst recently predicted that basketball superstar Stephen Curry, who plays for the dominant Golden State Warriors, is worth upwards of $14bn to sporting goods company Under Armour. According to Business Insider, this relationship could one day end up being worth more than Michael Jordan was, and still is, to Nike.
The big news is that Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova, who burst onto the scene when she won Wimbledon back in 2004, tested positive for meldonium, an anti-ischemic drug that was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)'s banned substances list on January 1, 2016. Sharapova claimed she had been taking it for a decade and didnt realise it had been added to the list.
The interesting thing about Sharapova is that she is one of the highest earning female athletes in the world, despite not being overly successful. Her blond hair and Amazonian looks have meant that big brands such as Nike, TAG Heuer and Porsche have flocked to her with mega-bucks deals. In 2010, Sharapova inked an eight-year deal with Nike worth in excess of $70m.
In 2015, Forbes predicted that she raked in $29.7m, despite only making $6.7m through her exploits on the tennis court. Alongside her endorsement deals, which also include Avon and Evian, Sharapova has her own confectionary business called Sugarpova. The top 50 highest paid sporting stars in 2015 included only two women Sharapova and rival Serena Williams.
Ten highest-paid female sports stars:
Maria Sharapova $29.7m
Serena Williams $24.6m
Caroline Wozniacki $14.6m
Danica Patrick $13.9m
Ana Ivanovic $8.3m
Petra Kvitova $7.7m
Simona Halep $6.8m
Ronda Rousey $6.5m
Stacy Lewis $6.4m
Agnieszka Radwanska $6m
She is a branding machine, one which had the potential to run and run far beyond when she hung up her tennis racquet. Now her career is in tatters, with Nike, Porsche and TAG Heuer already severing ties. It brings up the issue of whether, despite both parties making each other vast sums of money, they are uncomfortable bedfellows.
One, the athlete, has no particularly loyalty and is only really after the biggest pay day. They rack up endorsement deals like they are Sharapovas own sweets and have a team constantly renegotiating terms behind closed doors. If a tennis player like Sharapova wins a big tournament, you can bet their team is knocking on the door of a brand like Nike suggesting the deal is worth more.
On the flip side, brands love aligning products with sports stars but have constant paranoia about brand protection. They have complete control over marketing, advertising and staff, but what can they do about how a sports personality conducts themselves. All decent contracts will have clauses inserted making it easy for brands to ditch those endorsed, so it ends up feeling like a prenuptial agreement.
Tennis stars: Why marketability can be a blessing and curse for today's top players
Despite Sharapova being a Nike athlete for over a decade, the US sporting goods company will now be putting as much distance as it can from her. In a similar experience to the one Tiger Woods went through after his extramarital affairs were plastered across the worlds media, it is now damage limitation as she looks to preserve the few endorsement deals still in place. And who can forget the epic saga of Lance Armstrong, whose billion-dollar endorsement empire collapsed after he admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs to win multiple Tour de France races.
And it is not only individuals who have the potential to upset brands. Recent times have seen major fallouts off the back of team decisions or player behaviour. In 2014, English football team lost lead sponsor Zoopla after striker Nicolas Anelka made an anti-semitic gesture and offended the companys founder Alex Chesterman.
Going back another year, Nikes rival Puma ended a deal with the South African Football Association following a match-fixing scandal involving the national team.
Everywhere you look in history there are cases of a major sports star or team and brand fallout, showing that both get something out of the relationship but have little to no loyalty at all. No doubt, sponsors like Nike and Porsche will already have an idea about which female sporting super star will be the next big cash cow.
While Sharapova should be lauded for taking the decision to publicly announce her failed drug test and explain why, it's going to do little in the way of providing a way back into bed with her previously lucrative endorsement partners.

In our continuing Toronto's Top Startup Jobs series — weekly profiles of some of the top startups in Toronto on the hunt for new talent — we feature Carrot Insights, a fast-growing company that is looking to fill a range of roles, from customer service reps to content producers. Want to join a great team? Advance your career? Read on!
Imagine if your job involved giving Canadians points for taking better care of themselves. Pretty rewarding, right?
That's the idea behind Toronto-based startup Carrot Insights, a fast-growing company on the hunt for new talent. The company's smartphone app uses loyalty points—frequent flyer miles, as well as movie, grocery and gas points—to motivate Canadians to adopt healthier lifestyles, eat better, be more physically active and take care of their mental health. Typical ways to earn points include walking more during the day or taking the stairs instead of an elevator.
Carrot brilliantly harnesses two things Canadians love: using smartphones and collecting loyalty points. Created in partnership with the federal government and several provinces, Carrot employs nudge and motivation theory to encourage behaviour change, helping people get on a healthier track by giving them something they want: points. So far, the company has more than 530,000 users in Ontario, British Columbia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Carrot is a certified B Corporation, a for-profit company that meets set standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
While Andreas says that their everyday work is fun, the company also gets together for axe-throwing competitions, office Olympics, First-Round Friday drinks and birthdays. And every week, one team member is recognized for their contributions with a gift card.
The company is in a 19th-century building at Yonge and Richmond, a location chosen by the employees in part because they felt it suited a startup. Connected to the PATH, Eaton Centre and the subway, it's easy to get to work on public transit, by bike or on foot. "Two things we take pride in: not a single employee out of 30 smokes, and not a single employee drives to work," says Andreas.

Avengers 4 Photo Reveals Thor and Rocket in Powerful New Suits
Brandon Russell
Leaked #Avengers4 promo art reveals what appear to be space suits for what remains of Earth's Mightiest Heroes after #AvengersInfinityWar! #Avengers #InfinityWar #PromoArt #MarvelStudios #MCU #MovieNews
A post shared by Comic Book Movie (@comic.book.movie) on Oct 11, 2018 at 5:26am PDT
We've already seen promo art for Avengers 4 that revealed a new look for the surviving Avengers. Turns out, we could see Earth's Mightiest Heroes go through multiple wardrobe changes as they attempt to undo the damage from Avengers: Infinity War.
According to Comic Book Movie, leaked promo art, which was found on an Avengers toy, provides a look at new space suits worn by Thor and Rocket Raccoon. Unfortunately, due to the low resolution of the image, we're unable to read what the text on the packaging says.
We can also see Captain America in a similar space suit—like something out of a sci-fi flick.
While Comic Book Movie suggests the suits are for space, a more logical explanation is they could be something worn in the Quantum Realm, similar to what Scott Lang wears. That's just speculation on our part, however.
There's also the chance these suits won't appear in the movie at all. Because we're in between Avengers movies, the toy could be completely unrelated. More of a generic release to tide people over until the real toys start coming out.
There are a few reasons we think this: 1) There's no title for what Avengers movie these toys are for; it's unlikely Hasbro would release toys without the correct title. 2) It seems awfully early for toys for the next Avengers movie to start coming out. We're still seven months out from Avengers 4's release.
That being said, it's still fun to think the Avengers will undergo a wardrobe change where they're all matching. We'll find out when Avengers 4 hits theaters on May 3, 2019.


We're intent on making the most of the current balmy days and as always we are keeping it cool, plus this time there's an added bonus of eco-awareness thrown in! We're well happy to be sharing this DIY tutorial, originally written for Eclectic Eccentricity, by the multi-talented Becky Hoh-Hale. Check it out: a Recycled Bottle Water Wall!
Our take on it is obviously kid orientated, but who doesn't like mixing good, honest recycling and messing around with water when it's pretty much desert weather out there?
Think about how you want to lay them out and cut off the side (which will actually be the 'top') enough to let the water in and to maneuvoure hammering the nails in, but try and keep as much of the bottles structure as you can.
STEP 2 | Hammer time!
You'll need two or three nails in to keep each bottle in place. You can drill them if easier, but in our case a hammer and a four year old trying to help was plenty enough for increased anxiety levels!
You can for example use one of the bottle cut offs to make a flat end surface to distribute the water more evenly as it comes out.
STEP 4 | Test it out!
Pour water in using a jug or another bottle! Does it work ok? Does it need some minor adjustments to make the water flow from bottle to bottle?
STEP 6 | Hose action!
Stick the hose in the top bottle. We also decided to raise the panel higher. What do we do now?
STEP 7 | Get your swimgear on!
Or maybe your birthday suit will suffice..? But don't forget the sunscreen!
STEP 5 | Get splashing!
Use it as a shower to cool off and collect the water in a bowl - then you can use it as a foot bath or a mini paddling pool too!
STEP 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.. | Enjoy it!
It doesn't end there though, there are plenty more possibilities... You could experiment using coloured water and channel it into different tracks? You could place the bottles higher up, or one bottle high up and use it as an outdoor shower or cooling station for adults too? What other uses could it have? How would you improve it?
Thanks for sharing this awesome idea with us Becky!
It's a definite winner, try it out guys!
What do you reckon? Will you try it? We would love to hear what you think. Comment below or you can email, post on Twitter or Facebook.

An International Marine Research team ends its 42-day expedition of Dominica's shores
A marine research team which docked in Dominica on February 24 2016, has ended its 42 day expedition of the island's shores.
The team of marine archaeologists and researchers spent their days exploring Dominica's waters in search of new and unusual marine life and biological information.
The team covered 24sq miles off the western coast in 31 dives, going as far as 2miles offshore.
At least 9 potentially new species of fishes and crustaceans were discovered.
That included a new species of hog fish, deep water toad fish, an anemone and an unidentified species of cat shark.

Israel Palestine Conflict Still Not Resolved
by Raquel Lesser, Political Issues Editor
A two state solution is yet to be resolved as the bitter screams of the Israeli's and Palestinians fight over what is land the size of New Jersey and they have been fighting for this land. The British gave land to the Jews after holocaust and split the land for Palestinians and Israelis. Some Palestinians tried to go to other Muslim countries. The other countries wouldn't let them in. they both wanted it to be there country (Israel and Palestine) The other countries surrounding Israel attacked. This led to a 6 day war and many other fights.
Humas, a terrorist organization in the Gaza strip constantly bombs Israel in a land called Herot. Israel fights back. They both kill each other people and they haven't been able to agree on splitting the land. Recently the Palestinians offered for a negotiation talk with Israel. Israel have also offered negotiations in the past but it never worked out.
"There should be a two state solution." Reported Rabbi Learner, a Jewish Zionist. "I think the conflict is unfortunate. There exist two peoples arguing over the same land. Peace is impossible until the west Bank Arabs accept reality of the State of Israel and recognize it as a sovereign state." Rabbi Learner said the west bank Arabs doesn't accept Israel as a state, but also much of the general public don't recognize Israel as a state. He also writes, "On the other side, a problem, but a much lesser one is the west bank settlers who oppose any ceding of land for peace."
There are a group of Israelis and Palestinians that want peace but there are also groups that don't. Both sides however have one group that wants a two state solution and one that doesn't. Some just don't think it's possible. Palestinians "All previous sessions of negotiations have or nor produced anything." We are now seriously discussing our nature of our steps in the aftermath of the collapse of the negotiation." Amireh said.
Senior Johnathan Spielman said that the question to ponder is; "After all these years, why hasn't a solution been found yet?"

Elon Musk has finally settled the much-hyped lawsuit against him by SEC. Musk will remain CEO but will lose his Chairman seat as part of the settlement with SEC.
A fine of $20m and the loss of chairman seat later, Musk remains Tesla's CEO after agreeing on a deal with US regulators. Moreover, as part of the settlement, he will remain ineligible for re-electing as the company's chairman for another three years.
"The resolution is intended to prevent further market disruption and harm to Tesla's shareholders." Steven Peikin, from SEC's enforcement division, said. His words rang true as following the news of Musk's settlement with SEC, Tesla's stocks improved by 16% in pre-market trading.
SEC had launched a lawsuit against Musk for misleading Tesla shareholders after Musk's tweet earlier in August tweet led to a 10 percent drop in company value before the close of the day.

Order and safety in public spaces
The police can help public spaces function the way citizens expect them to.
Order and safety in public spaces The police can help public spaces function the way citizens expect them to. Check out this story on delawareonline.com: http://delonline.us/1LrqWRY
Published 8:31 p.m. ET Oct. 12, 2015
It is an odd quirk of modern life, but there two types of crime in a community – the kind that can be policed directly and the kind that cannot be. Each presents a different challenge to citizens and law enforcement. Each affects the quality of life in a community. Each poses a threat to public safety, although the threats differ significantly.
Both types of crime are on the minds of people who live and work in downtown Wilmington.
Whether it is on a highway, a suburban housing tract or in a city park, the main concern of most people is other people's behavior. It may sound silly, but it is true. This concern does not reflect a busybody approach, but a desire that people behave well in public places.
However, in a place like Rodney Square, the professional thief challenges the police. That demands one type of response. Alternatively, an individual struggling with his or her demons may challenge them. That calls for a totally different response. Both are infrequent events, but any spot that attracts a continuous flow of people is susceptible.
Professional crooks, young would-be criminals or drug-induced thieves present one type of threat. Effective policing can use technology, patrol tactics and community connections to control the volume of this sort of crime. Police efforts are not always successful, but this is usually where much of the public debate takes place and this is what builds up the crime statistics.
Here we are talking about car break-in, robberies and burglaries, drug deals and, of course, violence. The solution is clear and straightforward, if not easy. Patrol presence, camera surveillance and policing strategies are the best methods.
People suffering from substance abuse, mental disorders or what is perceived to be out-of-the-normal behavior cause the other problem. The challenge for law enforcement is discerning where, if any, danger is presented. Dealing with these situations is difficult for police. Someone who is poor and possibly homeless has every much a right to be in, say, Rodney Square. That individual has no right to harass other people or behave improperly. Cities, especially portions where people gather, attract a variety of people. We cannot exclude law-abiding people from a park that supposedly presentable people are welcome to use.
On the other hand, a person who is mentally disturbed or on a dangerous substance could suddenly snap, as happened recently in a violent episode in Rodney Square. This speaks to the urgent need to find ways of sheltering the homeless and providing treatment for substance abusers. The police can make the area more secure by their presence, by engaging with the people using the square. People in general order themselves when they are in public spaces. For the greater part of time this works. The police, with appropriate staffing and proper training, can help public spaces function the way citizens expect them to.

We sent Fawn DeViney, Phoenix local and photographer extraordinaire, to Boulders Resort and Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton to experience the beautiful hotel, shoot some photos and create a Curio Local Guide. It's full of unique tips and local secrets, just for you.
Preoccupation? I love to be in nature as much as possible, with my fella and our dogs. Any chance I have to do yoga in the woods or swim in natural waters, and I'm in heaven. Also, few things are better than an amazing meal paired with wine, incredible company and good conversation.
How long have you lived in Phoenix? I have been living in Phoenix for two years.
What is the best thing about Phoenix? The fast pace in which it's growing! There is so much excitement about all the new restaurants and businesses that are beginning to open up here. Not only that, but these new businesses are staying true to the heritage of Phoenix – as the region's citrus groves, the Wild West, and ancient landscapes are not forgotten amidst the contemporary architecture.
Can you sum up Phoenix? There is something for everyone to enjoy! Art, sports, vineyards, James Beard award-winning restaurants, and several great resorts including Boulders Resort & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton. As far as cities go, it's relatively young but it's catching up to the best of them.
What is a perfect day in Phoenix? My perfect day in Phoenix is a Saturday that begins with a sunrise and a morning jaunt to South Mountain and coffee from Futuro. On the way home we'd swing by the open-air farmers' market at the Phoenix Public Market to pick up some fresh tomatoes and baguettes for a lunch with friends at our house. From central Phoenix, we'd hop on our bikes and ride over to Bianco's Pizza before heading over to Valley Bar for an evening of live music.
What are the people like in Phoenix? When I lived in New England, people knew I wasn't from there because I'd smile at everyone. Not Phoenix! If you're sitting alone in a coffee shop, you'll be sure to make a few friends quickly. Everyone is so friendly and thrilled to share his or her favorite parts of the city!
If Phoenix was a person, who would it be? Phoenix is your doe-eyed younger cousin with childlike wonder who is wildly excited to explore a new city. Everything is fresh and vibrant — but getting lost every now and again isn't intimidating. You'll just make a few friends or discover new places in the process.
What was your experience like visiting Boulders Resort and Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton? I felt so cared for during my whole stay. The team members were beyond superb! The Boulders' property consists of individual casitas and villas as well as a full-service spa, pool, golf course and a variety of dining options . The attentive team members made wandering the grounds even more enjoyable.
What made Boulders Resort and Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton special? Boulders Resort & Spa is a retreat for pure comfort and calm. During my stay, I was aware and mindful of what I was surrounded by — whether it was the bobcat (I actually did meet one!) or the way the desert light cast shadows at different times of the day on the ancient boulders hugging the property. The attention to detail and the respect given to the landscape is honorable. The resort has a teepee available where you're encouraged to give herb offerings or you can take a mindful walk through their beautiful grounds. I didn't feel like I was staying in the desert; I actually felt I was a part of the desert. From the pathways that lead you between 12 million-year-old boulders to journeys amongst wildlife, I felt very connected to what makes this part of the desert so special.
If a friend was visiting Phoenix for 24 hours what would you have him or her do? First, stay at Boulders Resort & Spa though, it may be difficult to do anything because the beds in each room are incredibly comfortable! If they were to accomplish getting out of bed, I'd suggest waking early enough to see the sunrise from your balcony, while sipping a cup of coffee. Just as the wildlife are beginning their day, make your way to the spa and see who you happen to run into – it could be a bobcat or javelina! Once at the spa, I'd suggest ordering the yogurt parfait, and enjoying it while admiring the view of the herb garden.
The spa may be too soothing to even think of leaving, but if you head into Scottsdale be sure to go to the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. The Phoenix Art Museum and the Heard Museum are phenomenal as well. For lunch in Phoenix, be sure to stop into Pane Bianco; it's a relaxed, comfortable establishment and by far the best lunch spot. If in Scottsdale, I would recommend shopping at the Kierland Commons, and then dining at Zinc Bistro for French onion soup, pommes frites and champagne. By the time the golden hour sets in, the scenic drive back to Boulders Resort and Spa is itself an experience. Enjoy it with the windows down, listening to Waylon Jennings.
There will not be a single item on the menu that will disappoint at Palo Verde. I had to refrain from ordering a little of everything. You'll be so elated by the incredible meal that you won't want the evening to end.
A sunrise hike up any of the mountains in Phoenix, art museums, or a sunrise hot air balloon ride for a real treat!
In the summers enjoy the sunrise and in the winter enjoy the sunsets.

Milan Skriniar's own goal looked to have helped Fiorentina to a draw, but Danilo D'Ambrosio secured a third consecutive win for Inter.
Inter's recent revival continued as Danilo D'Ambrosio's late goal secured a 2-1 win over Fiorentina at the San Siro on Tuesday.
Last-gasp wins against Tottenham in the Champions League and Sampdoria in Serie A in the past week had injected life into the Nerazzurri's stuttering start to the season and another three points will further ease the pressure on Luciano Spalletti.
Inter's cause was aided significantly on the stroke of half-time when referee Paolo Silvio Mazzoleni punished Vitor Hugo for handball inside the penalty area after a VAR review, Mauro Icardi opening his league account for the season from the resulting spot-kick.
The Viola thought they had secured a share of the spoils after 52 minutes when Federico Chiesa's long-range drive took a huge deflection off Milan Skriniar to wrong-foot Samir Handanovic, but D'Ambrosio had other ideas.
Fiorentina started confidently and saw an early Kevin Mirallas effort crash back off the base of the post.
Inter then belatedly woke from their slumber and carved out a hat-trick of superb chances. Antonio Candreva's powerful volley arrowed just over the crossbar, Icardi fired straight at Alban Lafont after a sweeping counter-attack and Ivan Perisic whipped a first-time effort agonisingly past the far post.
Inter scarcely looked like finding a winner during a tepid second half, but D'Ambrosio burst forward to collect Icardi's pass and stroke past Lafont in the 77th minute to secure maximum points.
