Vancouver Whitecaps made a big splash on Tuesday with the signing of Philadelphia Union forward Sebastien Le Toux. The arrival of the 28-year-old Frenchman came as a surprise given the depth the Whitecaps currently have in attacking positions, but it's certainly an addition that has the potential to pay big-time dividends.
In Le Toux they get a player who not only knows where the net is, but also makes a habit of providing for other players around him. He's an ideal fit for the preferred 4-3-3 formation of Whitecaps new Head Coach Martin Rennie, and will provide another physical presence in attack alongside Eric Hassli. Just as important is the fact that he's a strong character with a relentless work ethic.
"Sebastien is a proven goalscorer and playmaker in Major League Soccer," said Rennie. "He is a durable, fit, and speedy attacker, who is capable of playing either up front or wide in midfield. We're delighted to bring Sebastien back to the Pacific Northwest and add another quality player to our squad."
The last couple of years have seen rejuvenation for a player who was left unprotected by Seattle Sounders FC in the MLS Expansion Draft ahead of the 2010 season. He was snapped up by Philadelphia Union and has never looked back. In his first season with the club he found the net 14 times and added 11 assists. He was named an All-Star and also secured a spot in the MLS Best XI.
In 2011 he started all of Philadelphia's 34 league matches, scoring 11 goals and registering nine assists. The season started slowly for the forward with just one goal scored in almost five months of play, but the form in which he finished the year proves that when he's in a confident mood he can be one of the very best strikers in the league. He scored 10 goals in the final 12 matches of the year, playing an integral role with the Union securing a first-ever berth in the MLS playoffs.
The trade gives Philadelphia the ability to upgrade their own squad using the allocation money they received from the Whitecaps. "While this decision wasn't easy, we are confident that the allocation money we receive will provide the flexibility for us to compile the best possible roster for 2012 and beyond," said Union manager Peter Nowak when announcing the move.
The move sees Le Toux move back out West where he starred for Seattle at the second division level after spending the early years of his career playing in his native France. He recently returned from a one week trial with English Premier League club Bolton Wanderers.
For the Whitecaps, the signing provides them with attacking depth that would be the envy of most MLS clubs, and Rennie's formation certainly allows for much flexibility within the attacking ranks. However, it's likely someone will have to make way.
Le Toux joins a long list of players already fighting for a starting position up front. With Hassli, Atiba Harris, Camilo, Darren Mattocks, Omar Salgado and Long Tan plus the attacking midfield options of Davide Chiumiento and Lee Ngwyen, the 'Caps already had an extremely impressive cast even before Le Toux's signing.
The question now is whether or not Rennie will keep all of those forwards with the club. In a long MLS season that could also see many additional games in the Amway Canadian Championship and CONCACAF Champions League, depth is crucial. But so is maintaining a happy ship, and it seems an incredibly difficult job to keep all of those players satisfied.
If Rennie is in the mood to trade, there would be plenty of interest from within MLS for his players, and there is always the option of allowing one of the younger players such as Salgado or Tan to leave on loan to get the valuable playing time they need to improve.
Le Toux's arrival is the latest in an impressive string of moves made by Vancouver. Along with bolstering his attack, Rennie has moved quickly to assemble a squad that addresses the main weakness from 2010, the defence. The Whitecaps should be much stronger at the back with the arrival of Argentine central defender Martin Bonjour alongside Jay DeMerit and South Korean star YP Lee slotting in at right back. They also have Carlyle Mitchell to call upon.
Rennie has certainly made an impressive start to his rookie year as an MLS Head Coach, and the addition of Le Toux could very well be the difference that sees the Whitecaps capable of making the post-season in a very strong Western Conference.

Twitter seems to be the hub for all things NFL media these days. So, of course when Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin was lost for the season due to an ACL tear, this social network was the best place for quick information.
Not only did we get up-to-date news regarding the situation, but we also received comments from players, personnel and media involved with the Eagles organization and the NFL in general.
Let's take a look at some of the more interesting comments regarding this situation for the Eagles and Maclin as they both go forward.
First, the news of the tear:
Eagles confirm reports that Jeremy Maclin tore ACL in right knee during today's practice. Brutal.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 27, 2013
Soon after, speculation:
How will Eagles replace Maclin? http://t.co/QmAzcWLO7S
— NFL: AroundTheLeague (@NFL_ATL) July 27, 2013
Followed by lots of support from teammates:
Prayers up for the homie @jmac_18! Definitely know what you are going through. #BirdGang
— Arrelious Benn (@ArreliousBenn) July 27, 2013
Me n my brother @jmac_18 …. Everybody say a prayer for Mac n hope it's a speedy recover bro all love… http://t.co/puZ4xPg1Jj
— Lesean McCoy (@CutonDime25) July 28, 2013
PRAYERS up for the big bro @jmac_18 great receiver but an even better person !!!
— Russell Shepard Jr.. (@LSUShep10) July 28, 2013
Say a prayer for our boy @jmac_18 we Luv ya bro.
— Riley Cooper (@RileyCooper_14) July 28, 2013
Then, words from Maclin himself:
Maclin: 'When [my knee buckled], I immediately knew what the deal was. I got emotional.' http://t.co/bEKol6Om44
— NFL (@nfl) July 28, 2013
The harsh reality:
One of the toughest parts of the Dennis Pitta-Jeremy Maclin season-ending injuries: Each was in last year of his contract.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 28, 2013
The team moves forward:
First in line to take Jeremy Maclin's role: Riley Cooper http://t.co/0FZzjcWPgN
— NFL: AroundTheLeague (@NFL_ATL) July 29, 2013
Obviously, this is a great deal of news to take in as an Eagles fan. The outlook for 2013 has not only drastically changed for the team, but for Maclin as well. This could very well be a career-altering event for the young wide receiver.
Fans around the NFL are already coming together in full support of Maclin, and wish him a speedy recovery.

Comeback Stuns Phantoms
The Phantoms jumped out to a 2-0 lead by scoring
a pair of 5-on-3 goals in the opening 10 minutes
to chase Portland's starting goalie from the game.
However, the Pirates came back to score four unanswered
goals to get a 4-2 win in Portland.
The win was the first for the Pirates in the season

Explosion In Syracuse
The Phantoms exploded for their largest offensive
output in three weeks and got their first win

games this season, after Adirondack dominated
the season series last year with seven wins in
eight games.
Adirondack's well-rounded offensive attack featured
a season-high 42 shots-on-goal, with five different
players tallying markers: Jon Kalinski, Eric Wellwood,
Ben Holmstrom, Jason Akeson and Blake Kessel.
Defensemen Dan Jancevski and Oskars Bartulis also
played key roles, chipping in with a pair of assists
The Phantoms' five goals came in support of Jason
Bacashihua, who made 25 saves on 27 shots to improve
to 3-0-1 in his last four starts.
Jeff Deslauriers was the losing goalie after allowing
five goals on 42 shots.
Kyle Palmieri and Patrick Maroon were the Crunch's
goal scorers.
11/20, (ADK 3, BRI 5) - Sound Tigers
Late Comeback Edges Phantoms

Phantoms to a one-goal, third-period lead. However,
the Sound Tigers came back and scored four third-period
markers and won 5-3.

game of the season, assisting on all three of

empty net in the game's final minute.
Phantoms Breakdown
--Head Coach Joe Paterson has 97 career AHL victories
as he approaches the 100 victory milestone. He
now has 35 wins since assuming the reigns with
Adirondack on Dec 20, 2010. He was also head coach
of the Louisville Panthers in the AHL from 1999-2001.
--Jason Akeson registered points in all three
games last week and carries a team-best five-game
point-scoring streak (3g, 3a) into the coming
week. Akeson, who led the Ontario Hockey League
with 108 points as a member of the Kitchener Rangers
last season, is now second on the Phantoms with
14 points (5g, 9a), just one back of Denis Hamel
for the team's scoring lead.
-Mike Testwuide is playing his best offensive
hockey of the season, coming off Sunday's game
where he set a career-high with three assists
in one contest. Testwuide, a native of Vail, Colorado
who was a rookie with the Phantoms last season,
has one goal and seven assists in 2011-12. He
lead the team's rookies with 18 goals last season.
-The past week was also a one of memorable milestones
for a pair of Phantoms defensemen.Olivier Lauridsen,
a native of Denmark who played collegiate hockey
at St. Cloud State in Minnesota, scored his first
professional goal on Sunday in Bridgeport. Blake
Kessel, a rookie out of the University of New
Hampshire, scored his first professional goal
in Saturday's 5-2 thumping of the Syracuse Crunch.
Blake Kessel's older brother, Phil Kessel of the
Toronto Maple Leafs, leads the NHL with 16 goals
after scoring twice against the Carolina Hurricanes
on Sunday.
-Dan Jancevski, the team's most veteran defenseman,
had a milestone of his own. Jancevski's two assists
in Syracuse were the 200th and 201st in his 784-game
AHL career.
--Adirondack's power play has been great all year
with strikes in 12-of-16 games. Miraculously,
the team is a perfect 4-0-0 in the games when
it does not score on the power play, with three
of the game-winning goals in those games coming
shorthanded. Harry Zolnierczyk scored the shorthanded
winner at Rochester on October 23, Jon Kalinski
turned the trick on November 4 at Springfield
and Eric Wellwood provided the shorthanded-winner
this past Saturday in Syracuse.
Denis Hamel's Chase of Glenn Merkosky
Denis Hamel's most recent goal was his 324th career
strike in the AHL. Hamel enters the Holiday Week
just one back of the former Adirondack Red Wing
great, Glenn Merkosky, for 12th place on the AHL's
all-time goal-scoring list.
Hamel, a 15th-year professional, is just 16 games
from 1,000 professional games and is 35th in all-time
AHL points with 623. Hamel's next to targets on
the all-time points list are Brian Kilrea and
Ken Gernander, who both retired with 624 points.
Kilrea and Gernander both went on to notable coaching
careers after their playing days. Kilrea coached
the Ottawa 67's in the Ontario Hockey League from
1974-2009 and was enshrined in the Hockey Hall
of Fame in 2003, while Gernander is currently
the bench boss for the Connecticut Whale.

Upcoming Opponents
Binghamton Senators (Ottawa Senators)
- The Phantoms start the week and
finish their four-game road trip at Binghamton
on Thanksgiving evening at 6:00 p.m. This is the
first of eight meetings with the Senators this
Last season, Binghamton rallied from a 3-1 hole
in the first round of the playoffs against Manchester
and won the city's first Calder Cup following
stunning defeats of the Portland Pirates, Charlotte
Checkers and Houston Aeros, in which the Senators
were without home-ice advantage in each series.
The Senators are 6-10-2 and in last place in the
East Division this season.
The backbone of this Senators team is its goaltender,
Rob Lehner. Last season, at age 19, Lehner overtook
Barry Brust as the team's starting goalie during
the playoffs and was the MVP of the Calder Cup
Playoffs. Although just 4-6-1 this year, Lehner
has a solid .916 save percentage and is widely
viewed as the future starting goalie of the Ottawa
Corey Locke was the AHL's regular-season MVP with
86 points last year. Locke, a 27 year old who
also won a Calder Cup with the Hamilton Bulldogs
in 2006-07, is tied for the Binghamton lead with
seven assists this year.
Small, but speedy center Mike Hoffman is the man
Locke is tied with for the Senators' lead in assists.
Hoffman is tied for the team lead in points (11)
with Mark Parrish.
Parrish, a former U.S. Olympian who had a career-best
30 goals with the New York Islanders 10 years
ago, has 11 points and has long been regarded
as one of the best shot-deflectors in pro hockey.
Springfield Falcons (Columbus Blue
Jackets) - The Adirondack Phantoms
return home on Friday for a matchup with the Springfield
Falcons, a team which they've never lost to (5-0).
The Phantoms are 1-0-0 against Springfield this
season, winning 2-1 on November 4 in Massachusetts.
The Falcons are 4-1-0 since losing to the Phantoms.
A reason for Springfield's turnaround has been
the return of Alexandre Giroux, who has been injured
or playing with the Blue Jackets most of this
season. Giroux, an 11th-year pro who has won two
Calder Cups with the Hershey Bears, has five goals
in the last four games. Giroux has 356 career
goals, which are 10th most in AHL history.
Another reason for the Falcons' recent improvements
has been goalie Manny Legace. Legace, a 38 year
old who won the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red
Wings in 2002, has won three straight starts,
allowing a total of six goals over his last four
A player to watch on the Falcons is Cam Atkinson.
Atkinson has three goals in the last two games
and scored Springfield's only goal on November
4 against Adirondack. Atkinson, a native of Greenwich,
Connecticut, was a nominee for the Hobey Baker
Award at Boston College and won a National Title
in 2009-10
Albany Devils (New Jersey Devils)
- The Phantoms finish their week
with a clash against their hated rival, the Albany
Devils. After finishing last season with a league-worst
70 points and trudging through the early part
of this season with just one win in their first
six games; the Devils have reversed their fortunes.
The Devils have won eight of their last 11 games
and are back in the thick of the Northeast Division's
very-tight race. A main reason for the Devils'
turnaround has been great defensive play, which
has been a trademark of the New Jersey Devils
organization and its affiliates for the last two
decades. Although they've given up nine goals
in the last two games, Albany was coming off a
stretch where it allowed just 16 goals over nine
The goalie behind Albany's defensive success is
Keith Kincaid. A rookie out of Union College,
Kincaid has won four of his last five starts and
has a great .915 save percentage for the season.
The Devils' other goalie is Jeff Frazee, who beat
the Phantoms on October 22 and sports a 3-4-2
Albany's hottest offensive players are Nathan
Perkovich and Steve Bernier. All three of Perkovich's
three goals this season have come in the last
three games. Meanwhile, Bernier, a former first-round
draft choice of San Jose in 2003, has goals in
each of the last two games.
5-foot-6, 165-pound Joe Whitney leads Albany with
10 points (5g, 5a) overall.

Medallion Financial hails taxi income
This specialized lender provides financing for New York City cab medallions, which are incredibly expensive.
Leon Murstein moved to the United States from Argentina in 1937 and became a New York cab driver, buying his first taxi medallion license for just $10. He then bought more, which he leased to other drivers.
Today, his son and grandson run Medallion Financial (TAXI), which has loaned more than $3 billion to taxi companies to buy medallions that now cost $975,000.
There are more than 13,000 cabs in New York City. Every one must carry a taxi medallion. As a result, Medallion prices have risen, loans have grown, and so, too, have profits and dividends.
Loans are secured by medallions, taxicabs, and related assets, and are personally guaranteed by the borrowers.
Medallion was formed in 1979, began publicly trading in 1996, and has operated as a business development company (BDC) since 2004. Management owns about 15% of the company's shares.
As a BDC, Medallion is not subject to corporate income taxes so long as it distributes at least 90% of taxable earnings from its investment company to shareholders.
In practice, like many BDCs, Medallion also pays out capital gains on its investments. Over the past five years, dividends have grown an average 10% annually, in tandem with per-share earnings.
The dividend has increased every single quarter in the past four quarters. The latest payment of $0.18 per share, up from $0.15 per share a year-ago, equates to $0.72 per share annually.
That gives the shares a forward yield of over 7%. Per-share earnings of $0.96 over the past 12 months and dividends of $0.66 give a payout ratio of just 69% and leave room for further dividend hikes.
Dividends are treated as ordinary income, making the shares suitable for a tax-sheltered account. Medallion maintains a dividend reinvestment plan, which lets you reinvest dividends in additional shares of the stock.
The company is well capitalized, with a debt-to-equity ratio of only 2.2 times, well under the industry norm of 3.3 times.
BDCs such as Medallion must distribute at least 90% of taxable income. As a result, many BDCs raise money to finance growth by taking on more debt or issuing more shares.
However, Medallion appears to have ample capital without diluting its share base or taking on more debt. It has a total of $102 million available from existing cash, unused credit lines, and Small Business Administration loans.
At today's price of $10.07, the shares are trading on par with their net asset value of $9.49 per share at June 30, 2011.
As a small-cap stock, Medallion is not widely followed by analysts. However, one firm that covers the stock, PiperJaffray, projects per-share earnings will grow 58% this year and another 6% next year, from $0.64 in 2010 to $1.01 in 2011 and $1.07 in 2012.
At that rate, the shares carry a forward P/E of 9.4 times 2012 projected earnings. That represents a discount to the 11.5 times 2012 earnings of the S&P 500 and the 10.0 times of its BDC peers.
A trailing P/E of 10.5 times trailing earnings and consensus five-year growth rate of around 10% annually give a long-term price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of just 1.04. (A PEG of 1 is considered a good value.)
With a rich 7% yield and a strong track record for growing earnings and dividends, this specialty finance company seems to be well managed. Trading close to its net asset value, the shares seem reasonably priced.

5 Stocks Under $10 Poised for Breakouts
BPZ Resources
Another under-$10 stock hat looks poised for higher prices is BPZ Resources (BPZ), which is focused on the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in Peru and Ecuador. This stock is down modestly so far in 2012, with shares off by around 9%.
If you take a look at the chart for BPZ Resources, you'll see that this stock has been downtrending hard from its April high of $4.64 to its recent low of $2.01 a share. During that downtrend, shares of BPZ were consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, the stock has now started to move in a sideways trading pattern for the last month, between $2.20 on the downside and $2.60 on the upside. A move outside of that range will likely setup the next major trend for BPZ.
>>9 Oil Stocks With Hot ProspectsMarket players should now look for long-biased trades in BPZ once it triggers a break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.60 to $2.73 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.3 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then BPZ has a great chance to re-test or possibly take out its next significant overhead resistance levels at $3.04 to $3.25 a share. If $3.25 gets taken out with volume, then BPZ could easily re-test its April high of $4.64 a share. Traders can look to buy BPZ off any weakness and simply use a stop that sits just below $2.20 a share. One could also buy off strength once BPZ clears $2.60 to $2.73 a share, with a stop that's right below its 50-day moving average of $2.35 a share. I would add to either position if BPZ takes out $3.25 with high volume.

Rockets re-sign Brooks, add Williams
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The Houston Rockets continued their busy offseason Friday by re-signing guard Aaron Brooks and inking forward Reggie Williams to a multi-year contract.
Per team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Brooks was a first-round draft pick of the Rockets back in 2007 and spent three-plus years with the team before joining the Phoenix Suns during the 2010-11 season. He played 46 games with the Sacramento Kings last season, averaging 8.0 points and 2.3 assists per game.
The NBA's 2009-10 Most Improved Player also appeared in seven games with the Rockets in 2012-13 and posted an average of 1.4 ppg.
Meanwhile, Williams was employed by Charlotte the past two seasons and recorded 3.7 points and 1.3 rebounds over 40 games in 2012-13.
Houston, of course, recently landed coveted big man Dwight Howard. The team just signed free agent forward Omri Casspi to a multi-year contract.

For years, people have been socializing online. Whether it's on dating sites to find a potential mate or visiting a retail store online in search of the perfect product, consumers spend a considerable amount of time expressing their opinions, making purchases and connecting with others on the Web. In fact, in just one minute in 2013, a whopping $83,000 in purchases were made on Amazon, 1.8 million likes were posted on Facebook, 278,000 tweets were sent on Twitter and 216,000 photos were shared on Instagram, according to Qmee, a site that offers the public cash rewards for searching online. The firm compiled data from PC Mag, Business Insider and other sites to create a composite of what happens online in 60 seconds.
For the small business owner, the flurry of online activity presents a good opportunity to find and retain customers by starting conversations online. Many entrepreneurs are overwhelmed by marketing their businesses online. There are millions of sites to post information, create profiles and share product pictures. Making sense of it all can be tough. But not to worry, free tools combined with sound marketing strategies can make starting and sustaining online conversations easy.
1. Use free social media monitoring tools to listen. One of the most effective ways to track conversations online is by using a monitoring tool. For small business owners, the cost of some monitoring services can be pricy. But there a number of free tools you can use to check out what consumers are saying about any topic, including your brand and that of your competition on the Internet. Check out Cyfe (cyfe.com), SocialMention (socialmention.com) and HootSuite (hootsuite.com) to get started.
When looking for conversations using a monitoring tool, be sure to search for a keyword or topic with and without the hashtag (#). This will allow you to track the terms on sites like Twitter and Instagram where hashtags are used often.
2. Take advantage of LinkedIn Mentions. This tool gives you the chance to mention a company or person in an update and then notify them that you've talked about them on LinkedIn. It's simple to use and allows you to connect and start conversations with consumers who may have interest in your product or service.
Here's how it works: Select someone else's update you would like to comment on. Click on the "Comment" link and type @. Then start typing a name in the box. A list of potential people or companies you can mention will pop up. Click a name from the list and start typing your message. The person or company mentioned in your message will receive an e-mail alert about the mention.
3. Check out Twitter Conversations. You may have noticed that for a while now, Twitter has been making it easier for people to connect. One of the newest tools is Conversations. It's essentially a vertical blue line that you'll see connecting a thread between two or more people. You can select a conversation and then join it by replying to someone in the thread. Your reply will only be seen by your followers and the person you replied to, but it's a great way to gauge the types of conversations on Twitter that are relevant to your business.
4. Explore Instagram Direct. If your company is using Instagram to market online, you might want to try Instagram Direct, a new feature that allows users to share content with specific people or groups in private conversations. To use it, click on the "Direct" icon in the top corner of your homepage, select a user or group of users to share your content with and you're done. Once you've shared your content, private threads can occur on the image or video, but only the people you've shared it with will see it. But Instagram users can also block users from sending you direct content, so make sure what you're sharing is useful and engaging.
5. Look out for the Facebook Conversations Group. Earlier this month, Facebook announced that it will forming the Facebook Conversations Group, a unit of the company aimed at building products designed to help make it easier for people to converse online. Facebook's recently acquired team that developed Branch, a social discussion startup backed by the founders of Twitter. The Branch team will lead the group. In the meantime, check out Branch by visiting branch.com.

Location was good when stuck in Chadron (may the Heavens have mercy on you).
Price too high for the lack of amenities (no breakfast, no health facilities).If you're stuck in Chadron, NE, then I suppose this is as good as any place to park it for a night. Better you should move on to a decent sized town with more choice.

FALLUJAH, Iraq—Ibraheem Sanad Mujbile is everywhere.
The kindly looking man with white hair is always in the background at city meetings, always carrying his little briefcase. On one side of it, ``press'' is written in yellow tape. On the other it's ``sahafee,'' the same thing in Arabic script.
He is the free press, Fallujah's journalist.
If there's hope for the future of Fallujah -- and Iraq -- outside of grisly self-destruction, the Plainville-based Marines in Charlie Company have placed their bets on a trifecta: The Iraqi Army. The Iraqi police. And the kids who don't yet have venom in their eyes.
Fallujah is the one city where U.S. forces have tried everything. Hands on. Hands off. Aggression. Pacification. Release to a former Iraqi general's control. And, finally, full invasion.
It was that climactic measure in November 2004 -- a massive, house-to-house battle to clear every insurgent from the streets of Fallujah -- that sets this city apart. This was the scene of the heaviest urban fighting, the only place in Iraq where the U.S. pressed war's reset button and started again from zero.
When the U.S. military says Fallujah has improved since the bad days of 2003, it is right. It was the worst city in Iraq then. Now, it might claim third place.
Fallujah may never have become known outside vast Al Anbar province if not for the events at its bridge. It doesn't look like much, just a single lane slung low over the Euphrates River. But two years ago the bridge's green beams became a worldwide symbol that things were going badly in Iraq. Photos showed portions of charred American bodies hanging from those beams, an Iraqi crowd beneath them, celebrating brutality.
They were the remains of four security contractors from a company called Blackwater, and downtown Fallujah had just consumed them. The violence sent a tremor through America and inspired the sieges that would, by November, empty Fallujah of people and reduce swaths of the city to gravel.
Ibraheem says there is progress in Fallujah. He also says of the U.S. forces, ``Any person, he doesn't like to be occupied by someone else.'' But he has hope that the occupiers will succeed. So he writes down every one of their promises.
The area where the Blackwater men were killed is now the responsibility of Charlie Company. At the start of a routine morning patrol, the company commander, Maj. Vaughn Ward, stops at an Iraqi Army post to pick up some of their soldiers. He likes to run combined patrols, getting the Iraqis to operate like Marines.
He was looking for 10 Iraqis, but he leaves the post with six. The Iraqis' equipment is a little mismatched, their helmets beat up. But their soldiering is getting better. Ward likes the way they've been meshing with his guys, finally staying put in a firefight and not letting loose with wild gunfire.
As the patrol reaches the market area next to what Marines call the Blackwater Bridge, shops are just opening.
The Iraqi soldiers exchange words with people on the street. A few are friendly. Most are cold. As Lt. Col. Chris Landro said once while driving over the bridge, ``We sometimes get looks that tell you: If your charred body was here, we'd hang you from the bridge, too.''
If there's anybody less popular than Marines in Fallujah, it's these soldiers, outsiders from the south of Iraq, and -- to raise tensions further -- mostly Shia Muslims in this town of Sunnis. But the Marines hope the soldiers and Iraqi police will soon inherit Fallujah.
``It's bad now, but hopefully it'll be good,'' Iraqi Cpl. Saad Oteeb says through a translator. He says he and his fellow soldiers almost have the ability to take over, but still need help: better technology, better weapons and more men.
Other Iraqi soldiers live at the checkpoint just west over the Blackwater Bridge. They live next door to a Charlie Company post and, if the Marines pulled out, probably couldn't stand on their own. They seem dedicated, but they have few supplies. Drinking water often comes from the Marines. And there is word that some of their pay isn't making it to them.

Quick Overview
Try a sip of Seattle, embodied in Caffe Ladro's signature espresso blend. Ladro Espresso is a little spot of sunshine on a stormy day. By itself it is creamy and sweet with mild chocolate flavor. In a milk-based drink it adds layers of flavor without the addition of sweetener or syrups. It makes a balanced espresso or a full-bodied drip coffee.
- 12 ounce bag, Premium Whole Bean Coffee
- Roasted Fresh in Seattle
|How Does it Compare?
The roast notes reference Creamy, Sweet, Chocolate, Dark Cherry and Caramel. However the SCG Crew (who sometimes - but not always - get it right) noted aroma of buttered toast and delicious Mexican food. The taste was a crowd pleaser as a drip and as Shiami's favorite drink, a lungo.
|Tips and Tricks
This espresso is one of our favorites. It makes a beautiful Americano. It is very delicate in milk however. Consider using less milk if you make a latte. The espresso flavor will shine through and since this espresso is not bitter or acidic, you don't need to mask harshness with milk.

Coffee 101: It Starts with Great Coffee
Good Espresso with a Slight Chocolate FlavorReview by Baristawantabe
Price Value Quality
Our family recently went to the Seattle area and we stopped to have coffee at one of the Ladro shops. My latte was very good so when I got back home, I ordered some of this Espresso coffee from SCG. Good espresso with a slight chocolate flavor. Mild enough for straight espresso, but strong enough for a good latte.

Very interesting espresso tasteReview by Alex
Price Value Quality
I bought this coffee without knowing much about it. It's somewhat pricey, so I expected fairly good quality from it. I wasn't disappointed, while I wouldn't call this the perfect cup of coffee, it has a very interesting almost fruity aftertaste, exceedingly refreshing. It's a very good coffee to have in the summer.
Only reason I didn't give it top marks, is because I suspect the taste wouldn't be as enjoyable in winter where a creamier stronger taste would be desired, and the price is a little bit high for the quality of the product. But it's definitely worth a taste.

OK, but nothing specialReview by BCoffee

This is a good, but not exceptional, espresso. A mild blend, with no particularly interesting distinguishing characteristics.

O'Hara-Grace is made up of 36 townhouses. These fully furnished, non-air-conditioned, four bedroom, one and one-half bathroom townhouses are available for unmarried male and unmarried female graduate students.
O'Hara-Grace comprises one-third of the Fischer O'Hara-Grace Graduate Residences. The FOG complex is a community development that facilitates and supports graduate study.
The Fischer Residences and O'Hara-Grace Townhouses are not mixed gender living facilities. The University expects all students living in the FOG community to be responsible and respectful in their social conduct and to follow the rules and regulations of duLac: A Guide to Student Life and the FOG Handbook. A quiet academic environment must be maintained at all times, so that residents are able to successfully engage in their studies. FOG is under the direction of an appointed Rector and staff who may set forth additional guidelines.
Nhat Nguyen is a former seminarian who graduated with a Master of Arts in Theology from Saint Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland, America's First Catholic Seminary. He spent two years discerning the diocesan priesthood with the Diocese of Richmond and has come to realized that "there's something about Mary." He began his theological studies at Saint Mary's and his pastoral assignments included: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Our Lady of Nazareth, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and Saint Anne. He could not be more affirmed to be working at a university that carries the name of Notre Dame, Our Lady. Prior to the seminary, Nhat graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from James Madison University, where he was also a Division I student-athlete on the varsity wrestling team and a three-time All-State wrestler. He became the Assistant Catholic Campus Minister at JMU after graduation, and the following year was promoted to be the Catholic Campus Minister at Roanoke College. Nhat hails from Roanoke, Virginia, where his family of nine settled in 1993 from Vietnam.
When asked why he felt called to serve as a Rector at the University of Notre Dame, Nhat answered: "It's the 'American Story.' Our family is a first-generation immigrant family who came to the United States in 1993, and we identified ourselves with Notre Dame because of its Catholicity, tradition, and values. To be a part of this University is my 'American Dream.' I believe that my passion for service and love for ministry will prepare me to meet the rigorous demands of being Rector. My many years of ministerial work have given me a genuine empathy, which enables me to connect well and personally with others, and a deep desire to be a man for others in the likeness of Christ.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Police say two male suspects have been arrested near Tulsa and will be charged with murder in the wake of the Oklahoma shootings on Friday.
Tulsa police spokesman Jason Willingham says the two men were taken into custody early Sunday just north of Tulsa and they will face three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill.
Willingham told The Associated Press by telephone that the men in custody are 19-year-old Jake England and 32-year-old Alvin Watts. He says a tip led a special operations team and other forces to make the arrests. He says police used surveillance and a helicopter in locating the two suspects.
Police say five people were shot and three of them killed on Friday within a 3-mile span.

Our search for a reception hall spanned NY (city, long island, new rochelle, westchester) and NJ. We had ALMOST booked with one hall but every time we went back, they kept claiming they didn't promise us certain things. One tip for anyone still planning is to make sure to get everything in writing. We had what we wanted in writing but they forgot to put the year on the contract and since we were searching in '07 for '09, they claimed it wasn't an '09 price they had given us. We had way too many problems with them after that so we continued our search. We went to:
- Westbury Manor
- The Metropolitan
- Glen Cove Mansion
- Tarrytown House
- Glen Island Harbour Club
- Oheka Castle
- North Ritz Club
- Oakside Mansion
- Battery Park Gardens
- East Wind Caterers
- Chateu La Mer
- Crossed Keys Inn
- Venetian Yacht Club
For a little bit, I was really sent on an outdoor tent wedding in the summertime. We went to Oakside Mansion and Crossed Keys Inn but there were just too many cons than pros. First it was too far away for our guests and Oakside's ceremony room wouldn't fit all our guests. Crossed Keys Inn was thinking of converting to a barn in 2009 and they wouldn't know until 2008. So we tossed that out of the window as well. Carlyle on the Green was the last place we looked at and while they were slightly above our price range, they had mentioned they have a reduced price during their off peak season. After all the looking and getting screwed by one of the halls, we really felt Carlyle on the Green was the one for us. As soon as I saw the ceremony room, I knew in my gut this was where I wanted to get married. The fireplace and warm sunny room was perfect. I also loved the beautiful sunlight coming into the large windows in the reception room. They host only one wedding at a time and it felt like I could put my personal touches all throughout the hall. We clicked immediately with our banquet manager, Cynthia and it really felt like our own little home! Even tho we were set on a summer wedding, we crunched some numbers and decided that we wanted to have our wedding at the Carlyle on the Green no matter what so we settled for off peak season and got March 28, 2009!
If you are looking for a hall and have any questions about the above catering halls, feel free to contact me.

Soon after the proposal, the first thing I did other than read up on proper etiquette was dress shopping! Hands down the most fun ever. I didn't even have a hall picked out yet but I knew I wanted an afternoon wedding to help offset costs and I knew that even tho it was 2007 that I wanted to get married in June 2009! (More on what happened to our change in date later.) So I started out searching theknot.com and reading weddingbee.com. My coworker happened to get engaged soon after me and we started shopping around together. I knew I was shopping super early for 2009 and I had a few problems with some stores but most were pretty reasonable. We went to Bridal Garden, Macy's, Wedding Atelier (my coworker found her dress there), Kleinfelds, tried to go to Mark Ingram but they were rude, and RK Bridal. RK Bridal was the last place I went to and I saw my dress on a mannequin and I knew it was the one. They took it off the mannequin for me to try and I was in love. It was the perfect mix of lace and bling, two of my favorite things! I even tried on a veil, which I wasn't sure I wanted and the whole combination made me feel like "OMG, I'm getting married!" Since I knew it was the one and I was early, I decided to shop around at the stores that carried the same designer. After visiting/calling each store, I found one that would be willing to sell it for a lower price but I was scared that since it was a small shop that I would run into problems later on down the line. I went back to RK Bridal and they were more than happy to price match. My dress is from Enzoani Blue and it's called Accra.

Everyone was in on the proposal, so when we got back from Aruba, we had a wedding to go to on Sunday for some of his friends. I didn't really want to steal the thunder from the bride and I didnt' want to wear the ring but hubs told me that I should. Everyone was very happy for us and we had a really good time. The only thing was when it came time for the bouquet toss, hub's friend dragged me up there. I really didn't think I should go b/c technically I got a ring and I'm getting married. But we went and stood in the back and I just dazed out. Then suddenly in the corner of my eye I see this thing coming towards me and I'm like.. hmm.. why isn't anyone else paying attention to it. So I stuck my hands out and into my hands falls the toss bouquet! You could imagine my shock and surprise and that I was kicking myself for not paying attention to why I was actually standing there! hahahaha Poor hubs, he then had the pressure of trying to catch the garter. This is how it went down:

During the December of 2006 about 3 years and 6 months of our relationship, hubs decided he wanted to propose. I had no idea but my sister kept asking me what style ring I would like and I thought she was asking just in case he ever decided to.
In May 2007, hubs had asked my sister to arrange for him to meet with my parents to ask for their permission to marry me. My sister lives in Virginia so she came home one weekend and we treated ourselves to hair appointments. While I was at the appointment, hubs met with my parents and received their permission and left before I knew he was even there. hubs waited at a local starbucks until I got back and told me that he was coming over to my house as usual and waited for about half an hour so I wouldn't get suspicious. It worked and I never knew what happened that day until after the proposal.
I was a little sad that year since hubs kept insisting that we couldn't go on vacation since he needed to pay off some debt so I had asked hubs to plan something for our 4 year anniversary in June instead. I was thinking it would be a nice dinner out in the city. What I didn't know was that he was planning a surprise trip to Aruba, where we were originally trying to go to that year. About 5 days before we were suppose to leave for our trip, I asked hubs what we were doing for our anniversary. hubs told me to make sure not to accept any work meeting invites and that I wouldn't need to take time off. Unfortunately for him, it's impossible for me to decline a meeting without knowing why if I'm not out of the office. So after a bit, hubs told me we could play twenty questions. So I asked if we were going somewhere and he said yes. My next question was if I would need to take time off and he said no. I asked if we were going for more than a day and he said yes and I was instantly confused. How do I not need to take vacation time if I'm going to be away for more than a day on a week day? After reaching my 20 question limit, hubs decided to give me a clue and gave me a code with numbers and letters. My heart was pounding as I copied it into the jetblue website. Once I hit ok, a confirmation for two passengers to Aruba for 6 days appeared. I was ecstatic but still confused on how I didn't need to take any vacation time. It turns out hubs contacted a coworker of mine back in April for my manager's email information so that he could request vacation time for me. He told my manager that he would like to propose to me and asked her to keep it a secret.
The trip was incredibly relaxing and romantic. Usually I'm the planner but this time I didn't have to think about a thing. Hubs arranged for us to have a couple's massage, take a jeep tour of the island, attend a latin show at night and relax on the hotel's private island. On June 21, 2007, exactly 4 years since we've been together, hubs arranged for a surprise dinner on the beach. While we were sitting by the water for our dinner, a photographer came by and asked to take a few pictures. I thought it was nice but a little suspicious when she kept taking a lot of pictures of us. I figured it was just our anniversary present since hubs knows I love pictures. After a bit, hubs and I were standing by the water watching the sunset and he turned to me and asked me "Isn't this beautiful?" and I could only nod as I was starting to slowly realize what was going to happen next. Then hubs said that he had something for me and proceeded to get down on one knew and pull out a box from his pocket. Hubs tearfully asked if I would marry him and my reaction was "oh my god! yes!" crying as well. After the excitement, Hubs then revealed all the details of how he arranged the trip, the ring and the photographer. He learned from my sister that I wanted to have pictures capture the moment of the proposal when it happened so Hubs arranged to have a professional photographer come by our table during dinner and pretend to be a hotel photographer. It worked extremely well and we now have pictures to remember it forever.

The employees' strike and customer boycott against the Market Basket supermarket chain was ended with the reinstatement of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas after he bought control of the company from his cousin.
The Federal Reserve Bank will keep suppressing interest rates to near-zero rates for more than a year, according to Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes released August 20, despite talk about an "eventual normalization of the stance and conduct of monetary policy."
Employees on strike from Market Basket over the firing of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas were given until Friday to return to work or be replaced.
The maker of little Zen Magnets has decided to challenge the Consumer Product Safety Commission in a duel to the death.
Tread carefully when parsing the latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The real picture is much different from the headlines.
