Maplewood Village is a premier local shopping destination for holiday shopping, with an abundance of great family-owned shops, restaurants and more. The Village was even profiled recently on MSNBC's Your Business as a quintessential small-town America downtown. (Watch the video here.)
The Village is a great place to take advantage of Small Business Saturday (SBS), which is on Sat., Nov. 24, two days after Thanksgiving. Enroll your American Express card and get back $25 when you spend $25 or more at any qualifying small business location in Maplewood. (Click here to enroll your card.; click here for a list of participating Maplewood businesses.)
"We're happy to be celebrating Small Business Saturday for the third year in a row in Maplewood Village," said Julie Doran, Manager of the Maplewood Village Alliance. "We love the focus the American Express promotion has put on the importance of shopping small, and we wanted to leverage and enhance that."
But here's the added twist: since not all Village merchants accept American Express (and not all customers carry it), over 20 merchants are also offering special deals, treats or in-store promotions as an additional way to thank their customers.
Here is the full list of participating businesses and their deals, and here are some highlights. Check the list for all the fine print:
The Tenth Muse Gallery – Shop Small and Save 25% off your entire purchase.

In many settings, invasive alien species are one of the most dangerous threats to both human and natural systems. All human societies benefit from a variety of ecosystem services provided by the natural system in which they are embedded. Common ecosystem services include energy from solar and hydropower, food and water, waste treatment, pollination-the list is vast. The degree of degradation to ecosystem services depends on the setting and the biological features of the invader, but in some cases these degradations are serious. Mikania micrantha, sometimes called bitter vine or mile-a-minute plant, is one of these. It is among the world's 100 worst invasive alien species (Invasive Species Specialist Group, 2010) and frequently appears in lists of the 10 worst weeds in the world. It is exceptionally fast growing, competes with native flora, and can severely disrupt ecosystem services. When an aggressive invader has been established in a biodiversity hotspot, the threats are exceptionally high. Mikania micrantha in the Chitwan area of Nepal exemplifies this crisis.
This project features a unique combination of research to understand a threat to a human and natural system as well as the development of an intervention to mitigate that threat. The project has four objectives:
1. Examine the relationships between important human
community-level organizations, agricultural forest use, and invasive alien species in Nepal's Chitwan National Park and nearby community forest, buffer zone, and settled areas.
2. Create and evaluate an intervention to slow invasive alien
species, with an emphasis on Mikania micrantha.
3. Use agent-based modeling techniques to synthesize new and
existing findings and evaluate future scenarios of invasive alien species and adaptive management efforts.
4. Educate and train a new cohort of junior scholars for
interdisciplinary environmental careers by deeply involving them in this important international research.

Students wrap-up Archaeological Field SchoolBy on June 15, 2011 3:40 pm
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. – Hang around an archaeological dig long enough and you'll hear the word "personal" tossed around frequently. Archaeologists don't just judge artifacts by their age or condition but also by the story they tell.
Earlier this month during the 2011 Peace College Archaeological Field School at Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson, students learned just how intimate a discovery can be.
On the second week of the four-week dig which ended Saturday, Peace students helped unearth a strawberry-shaped pendant from the Civil War era. Only a third of the pendant remained but the unique item gave students a peek into a different world.
"I really can't put into words how amazing it is to hold something that no one has held or seen for over 200 years," Peace sophomore Kiara Cobb said. "It's just amazing."
Of the dozens of items recovered during the dig, the pendant — which is likely made of copper alloy and has two layers of painted glass — is the rarest, according to Peace professor Vincent Melomo.
"Something that personal and significant — you might not find one like it ever (again)," Melomo said. "It's something that meant something to somebody. It is a special find."
This year's trip to Brunswick Town was the third edition of the Peace Field School and its second visit to the coastal site. The program gives students four lab credit hours as they learn how to sift through dirt, excavate with care, clean artifacts and record data effectively.
In the first field school held four years ago, students explored an old plantation in Louisburg. But organizers switched to the Brunswick Town site because it offered several different time periods in one location.
This year, students found not only Civil War artifacts but also items dating between 300 and 800 years old. The most notable of which were wine bottles, plates, stirrups, an 1863 penny, a canon spike, a pipe with a face carved in it and a confederate lieutenant's button.
Due to its prestigious rank and the location where it was found, the confederate button can be traced back to just a handful of people.
"It's almost like a treasure hunt," Peace student Cate Bolenbaugh said. "You're looking for a piece of pottery or another piece of metal fragment. You don't know what it is but you have a story behind it. We might not ever know the entire story but based on mapping and digging up things, we can sort of trace (it)."
In addition to uncovering artifacts, the students also helped clear away the brick walls of several Civil War barracks. As they uncovered the walls, they used their knowledge of the typical design and dimension of the buildings to carefully remove dirt without damaging the brick.
Hands-on opportunities like the field school are rare at smaller schools like Peace but offer students the experience they'll need to pursue a career in archaeology.
With the field school now on their resume, students have a leg up when applying to graduate schools and job openings.
"Being here really makes it come to life and is invaluable to your own experience," Cobb said. "It's more of a personal thing that the books can't give you."

Sens. Whitehouse and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) are leading an all-night Senate session to discuss the importance of climate change. More than 20 other Democrats participated right off the bat, including members of leadership. They are expected to speak well into Tuesday morning.
Whitehouse's press secretary Seth Larson said the senator "ordered Chipotle for folks."
Whitehouse even extended the invitation to Republican staffers.
This will be the Senate's 35th all-night session. The last two were lead by Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who did not buy dinner for all of the staffers that had to work into the early hours.

Good comment. It is an interesting way of looking at the MLP structure.

This point has been discussed above. Three of us arrived at the conclusion that the data is really difficult to interpret, therefore, Riglogix is the only real source we have --- even if some of it might seem odd.
That is aside from researching each individual company and putting together a large database on the matter with sources. Even then it is likely that this data will be out of date by the time all the data is collected and collated. What's more, people like you will still find problem with it.
With that in mind, Riglogix is the best source we have, it's centralized, sourced and put together by industry professionals.
If you have a problem with Riglogix data I suggest you take it to them, but for now, it is the best source we have.Aug 15 02:47 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Why Rowan Companies Plc's Earnings Will Surge Higher And Dividends Will Follow [View article]
It really just depends on how Rowan manages to renegotiate its jackup contracts.

I'm glad you found it useful. I must admit RIG's low valuation is tempting, although I have read some broker notes that urge caution, the book ratio could fall if the company is forced to write down the value of some rigs.

Sandy, there are a couple of questions above that address the issue of rig utilization.

Investing Doc, I must admit I do agree that some of the data looks out of place. However, aside from collecting and collating all the data myself and sourcing it, there's no definitive way to set it out. Even if I did collect it all and source it, there would still be debate from some users.
RigLogix is the most definitive, central and easily accessible source I have at present.
I intend to go over each fleet separately over the next few weeks, which will be a more indepth analysis, rather than a summary as above. Hopefully that will be of more help. It should also flush out any anomalies with the data.Aug 14 01:10 PM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment
The data is correct according to RigLogix, as I mention in the article. http://www.riglogix.com

Phenom1 thanks for your support. Although I will admit I did make a mistake regarding the structure of NADL.

Haha well done. I thought you said no further reading was recommended?
It's true, I did make a mistake in the original. I submitted the edit than had to wait for it to be republished. You're just quicker than me that's all.
The MLP structure has been used a lot by drillers this year, including the Seadrill Partners spin. Rowan was quizzed about a MLP structure on its Q2 call, Ocean Rig is converting, and Transocean has created a drop down MLP structure.
The North Atlantic was an honest mistake, which has now been corrected.Aug 14 12:02 PM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment
Vantage is really in a league of its own. The company does have a large amount of debt but its new, small fleet is contracted out, at decent rates and the small number of vessels makes the company's prospects easier to understand. I plan on putting together a focus article on Vantage at some point in the near future.
As I explained in the article I really don't think it is a question of size, more composition of fleets. Unfortunately, most of the large caps have a large exposure to the jackup segment, which makes them venerable.Aug 14 11:54 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
I wouldn't but many are attracted by the high yield -- they get really aggressive if you suggest it isn't sustainable.

SDRL is able to sustain the high payout through asset sales. It's true that Ensco's payout is more sustainable over the long term but the company's hardly outperformed over the past few years.
There have actually been some noticeable declines in day rates in some regions, I don't have the figures with me right now but off the top of my head I know Rowan's first new drillship, contracted out last year achieved a day rate in the high 600's, the most recently contracted drillship only achieved a rate slightly above 600's despite being of the same spec.
It's really the falling utilization rate that will hurt over the long term.Aug 14 10:50 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Now NE has spun off PGN it is a much lener company that's true. The jack up fleet has fallen to 15 units while the company's drillship fleet stands at nine units.
NE has essentially divested its exposure to the jackup market.Aug 14 10:20 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Federal Bureau of Investigation
The FBI released video and photos Wednesday taken from security cameras from the Washington Navy Yard, where 34-year-old Navy contractor Aaron Alexis shot and killed 12 people. His victims were random, says the FBI. (Federal Bureau of Investigation)
Surveillance video released by the FBI on Wednesday shows Aaron Alexis pulling up to the Washington Navy Yard in a rental car, walking into the building with a bag and then walking down a corridor with a shotgun, ducking and crouching around a corner and walking briskly down a flight of stairs.
The FBI said there is no indication that Alexis targeted any specific individuals or knew any of his victims when he opened fire inside a building on Sept. 16, killing 12 people.
Valerie Parlave, head of the FBI's field office in Washington, said at a news conference Wednesday that investigators are continuing to explore the background and motivations of the 34-year-old former navy reservist and contractor. However, she said Alexis had a well-documented history of mental health issues.
Parlave said Alexis held a delusional belief that he was being controlled by extremely low frequency waves, or ELF waves.
Alexis had written "my ELF weapon" and "end to the torment" on a shotgun he used in last week's rampage.
An electronic document recovered after the shooting read: "Ultra-low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last three months, and to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this."
The FBI believes Alexis was prepared to die when he went on the murderous attack.
His rampage came one month after he had complained to police in Rhode Island that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of a hotel room and sending microwave vibrations into his body to deprive him of sleep, the FBI said.
The FBI said Alexis purchased a Remington 870 shotgun and ammunition at a gun shop in northern Virginia two days before returning to the navy yard. He also purchased a hacksaw at a home improvement store in Northern Virginia, the FBI said in a statement posted on its website.
Alexis had legitimate access to the navy yard as a result of his work as a contractor and he used a valid ID pass to gain entry to Building 197, where he used the shotgun, as well as a handgun which he obtained in the building, to kill 12 people and wound four others before he was shot and killed by police.
The FBI believes Alexis acted alone.

Outlook: Next-Gen Consoles Remain Supply-Constrained
After the market close on Thursday, February 13, NPD is expected to release the January 2014 (four-week period ending February 1) U.S. retail video game software sales data.
We expect console/handheld software sales of $300 million, down 20 percent compared to last year's $373 million. We expect sales to be down significantly due to a shorter retail month this year and continued current-gen sales weakness, although we expect this to largely be offset by next generation sales. In addition, the release slate was light ahead of a number of high-profile releases later in Q1, including Activision Blizzard's (NASDAQ:ATVI) Diablo III: Reaper of Souls (PC) and EA's (NASDAQ:EA) Titanfall (XB1, 360, PC). The comparison to January 2013, which was up 1 percent, is deceiving, as January 2012 was a four week retail period and January 2014 is also a four week period.
Software sales were down 17 percent in December, driven by multiple factors that should also have impacted January results. Next-gen consoles remained supply-constrained, delaying next-gen spending for those gamers unable to buy a PS4 or Xbox One. For many consumers able to purchase a next-gen console, current-gen software spending was down as a result. The industry's top-selling console game, Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: Ghosts, a November release, sold well below our expectations for the second consecutive month, and like two of the quarter's other big releases, EA's Battlefield 4 and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, ended up being down for the quarter from the prior iteration. Nintendo's Wii U continued to perform well below the levels expected for a new console, with software sales lagging those of its predecessor despite a recent hardware price cut, an improving release slate, and only having been available for just over a year.

This Social Enterprise of Weavers in a Thai Hill Tribe Lifts the Whole Community This Social Enterprise of Weavers in a Thai Hill Tribe Lifts the Whole Community
This Social Enterprise of Weavers in a Thai Hill Tribe Lifts the Whole Community
When missionaries-turned-tribal-advocates Gene and Mary Long moved to Thailand in 1978, they were initially tasked with supporting a hill tribe in transition. The Mlabri (or "Yellow Leaf") people had lived an almost perfect jungle existence with limited interaction with outsiders. The Longs arrived, along with their toddler son Allen, at a time when deforestation was slashing back thousands of acres annually—soon there would not be enough jungle terrain for the Mlabri to continue hunting and gathering. Allen (Udom) Long came of age in close contact with the Mlabri and observed what happens to a shrinking culture as their home turf disappears. "The Mlabri had no place to hide, in a very real sense," Long told me.
Northern Thai farmers and other hill tribes, including the Hmong, moved into the area. While cultural precepts demanded the Mlabri could not become farmers themselves, they could farm for others for wages. Theirs became an odd amalgam of new experiences—Allen's father introduced the Mlabri to mirrors, something they'd never before encountered. Modern inventions attracted them—flashlights, radios, lighters. Long explains that the community "didn't understand the market value of the products they wanted." Laboring for Thai and Hmong farmers, some Mlabri would work half a year to earn a flashlight. Some naively became linked with drug trafficking. Slash-and-burn agriculture using dangerous chemicals, at abusively low wages, became their means of survival.
The Long family experimented with various forms of product-development with the Mlabri, attempting to use traditional skills to create products with appeal to fair-trade shoppers and tourists. Rather than making computer chips or iPhones, Long explained, the goal was to find a product over which the Mlabri already had ownership. They began making hammocks, which offered modest sales in-country at a smattering of Thai tourist shops. "For years I tried getting into the U.S. market with these hammocks," says Long. He tried eBay, contacting retailers. He'd all but given up on breaking into the American market when a 26-year-old backpacker named Joe Demin showed up in the village. He'd stumbled upon a hammock at a resort and took an impetuous journey to the Mlabri that would mark the start of a growing lifestyle brand, Yellow Leaf Hammocks.
In the years since, the startup grew into a social enterprise that supports the work of 110 weavers, who can earn 650 percent more making hammocks than they did in slash-and-burn agriculture—or as much as a college-educated teacher. Demin says they're now able to afford uniforms and shoes for their children. "Every child of a weaver goes to school," he says.
Yet Yellow Leaf struggled with many of the same challenges that face startups—such as lack of capital to establish ready inventory. "We never had capital to guarantee fulltime work beyond a single hammock order," Demin says. During times of heavy orders, the weavers could count on work, but when demand ran low, they still were turning back to slash-and-burn agriculture.
For Yellow Leaf Hammocks, loyalty to the Mlabri was paramount, and early on the company was hesitant to dip into venture capital (and any strings that may come attached). Fortunately, at the time that it became clear that the Mlabri were in need of more predictable income, and that the company needed steady inventory to get product to customers faster, Yellow Leaf was invited by Kiva to participate in its new Experimental Partnership Program (an extension of the popular microfinancing program into the social enterprise sphere that now includes 30 partners, and is set to grow).
When I asked Jason Riggs, director of communications at Kiva, by email what prompted the fundraising site's move to include for-profit social enterprises, he explained: "'For-profit' means that they have a business model that aims to be self-sustaining and that can eventually attract regular market capital." Kiva's patient and risk-tolerant capital can help prove the viability of such models, and Kiva lenders are willing to support these organizations so long as they see a strong social impact. "The hope is that Kiva can help quantify their risk profiles and make it easier for regular investors to work with them."
Through the Kiva loan program, Yellow Leaf began piloting a program whereby a Mlabri weaver might have up to six months of work crowdfunded through a Kiva loan, at zero percent interest. Long went from family to family within the community totaling more than 300 people, explaining the potential of the program. "The Mlabri were skeptical," says Long. They were wary of loan sharks. "They took several different angles of cross examination, which I was thrilled about." For a community so exploited for decades, caution was wise. In the end, nine weavers from each of the major families signed on to pilot the loan program, and will repay their loans (usually over nine months) through hammock sales. Other weavers can still work under the old model, being paid per hammock made.
The Kiva loan program marks a milestone for Yellow Leaf Hammocks and the Mlabri. There's been talk among the Mlabri about what to do with the profits—improved housing, maybe a television. One weaver has been considering buying a telephone. "When I pointed out I didn't know who he'd call," Long says of that particular weaver, "he kind of smiled."
But having a chunk of cash to manage over time—which offers freedom and the ability to plan for the future—also means learning to manage finances, banking. Sharing your abundance is of the upmost importance to the Mlabri, who once hunted and gathered to support the collective; personal banking seems to run contrary to that. Even a decade ago, everything needed to be shared. Long told me that if someone bought five eggs, for example, they had to share them with everyone in the village. "It would take forever and everybody would get a little piece," he says. Banking is yet another transition to navigate.
For Yellow Leaf Hammocks, and with the added benefits of the Kiva loans, the emphasis is on empowering the Mlabri to live their lives as they see fit—without exploitation, without the environmental and health risks associated with slash-and-burn agriculture. It's a tricky mix of using modern economic structures to support a traditional way of life. The weavers determine how much work they need to put in to support their lifestyles. ("Full-time" means something different to the Mlabri, who with steady income, save time for traditional activities.) It's a formal structure that lets the Mlabri decide when and how they want to work. It's far from the exploitation they experienced in the past. As Riggs puts it, "by providing flexible income activities, the Mlabri are better empowered to make their own decisions as to how their culture and society should develop and adapt."

Wizdom - Forever
Artist: Wizdom
Producer: Nima Skeemz
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 6 total votes )
Forever may be a nice sentiment for love ballads, but reality can be far more harsh, a fact that Wizdom proves he knows only too well on his new DJBooth world premiere. Last seen working alongside producer Epidemmik, Forever finds Wiz grabbing producer Nima Skeemz for a simple and acoustically oriented instrumental that's taken to the new heights thanks to a hook from Vancouver pop star Stef Lang. On the mic Wizdom tells a tale of love and loss, taking only slim solace in the knowledge that the love of his life is now resting in peace. While Forever isn't currently attached to a larger project, hopefully we won't have to wait an eternity for a new full length to emerge from Wizdom.

My horses on either VMWare or IBM.
HP knows well to stay away of this business.
Oracle has his own Red Hat based version and Solaris. With a prospective recession and Sun's acquisition yet to show results, this makes little sense. However, they're raising a few billions in debt and when you have the cash. And Novell has so many interesting patents.
For Red Hat, this is not a good move. It brings no complementing products as they compete direct and there are much cheaper ways get to the clients - just way them to leave because the competitor is gone!
IBM and VMWare could use the extra products in their offerings. VMWare might benefit the most - they're building a nice application (Spring, Zimbra) stack and have all that virtualization offerings. All they need is the thing in-beween.

Southern Gardening: Use garden to express yourself
A garden itself is a form of personal expression, so what better way to say something about yourself than with garden art?
When we think of a garden, we often think of flowering annuals and perennials, foundation shrubs like hollies and Indian hawthorns, and small ornamental trees. But add a sculpture or homemade piece of art, and you start to bridge the gap between the gardener and the garden.

Seems like a bit of a retread on a few of the expansion elements, but does, marginally, expand the game.
It's not a total waste of money, yet it's not very important to the world or even the game itself. There are no ground-shaking improvements, aside from the extra character slot.
I wasnt able, at any point, to immerse myself in the world of Shadowbane at all. Running along a quadratic river that has plain blue non-reflective, non-transparent water and having snow suddenly appear out of the nowhere just doesnt work for me, sorry.
Once you level-up as far as you can go (65), you've pretty much done and experienced all that you can. There are those that continue to hand around just to inflict serious damage on weaker players, but once they receive psychological help the game will be deserted.
For Shadowbane's population of player-versus-player aficionados, the expansion doesn't seem to do much, nor does it do enough to compel new players to get into the game.

IRBID, Jordan — The Free Syrian Army commander, head of a moderate rebel force fighting just across the border in southern Syria, watched helplessly for months as better-funded Islamist militant groups peeled off half the 2,000 fighters from his brigade.
That changed in February when an intelligence operative from a country he refuses to name handed him an envelope full of cash — salaries for his remaining combatants.
"It's a good amount of money; I can keep my fighters," the commander said, as scented smoke from his arghileh [water pipe] obscured a scar across his face, the product of a battle in Syria, just 16 miles north of this drab Jordanian town.
In recent months, Syria's so-called "southern front" has become the focus of a reinvigorated U.S.-backed initiative to bolster faltering opposition forces now losing ground in their three-year battle to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
With peace talks stalled and a pronounced slide toward Islamist militancy in the rebel ranks elsewhere across Syria, Washington and allied foreign governments are increasingly concentrating on helping insurgents based in southern Syria. Northern Jordan has become the staging ground.
It is here that U.S. officials and their Persian Gulf allies, notably Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are recalibrating their approach in what many view as a last chance to turn around the civil war that has begun to tilt heavily in favor of Assad. But such a strategy could prove too little too late, the type of intra-rebel clashes that have come to define the opposition in northern and eastern Syria has already begun to wreak havoc in the south.
The foreign powers are hoping to re-energize what remains of the U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army as a "moderate" alternative to extremists with such groups as Al Qaeda-affiliated Al Nusra Front — deemed a terrorist organization by Washington — that seek to impose militant Islamic rule.
The cash-stuffed envelopes meant to secure the loyalty of rebel fighters are an essential component of the embryonic southern campaign, according to interviews in Jordan with opposition commanders. All insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about operational matters.
"Every rebel and activist is looking to the much-vaunted southern front for good news and restored hope," said Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma.
Opposition strategists have long viewed the south as a potential backdoor means of attacking Damascus, the Syrian capital, only 75 miles from the Jordan border. The area is also close to Israel, which, like Jordan, is alarmed about a growing extremist presence on its frontier.
But the revamped strategy also appears to have as much to do with counter-terrorism – battling the rise of Islamic militants — as ousting Assad.
West-backed rebel commanders have accused Al Nusra forces of launching a wave of assassinations and kidnappings against Free Syrian Army rivals in southern Syria. Last week, according to rebels here, Al Nusra fighters kidnapped and executed a low-level battalion leader, Fadi Qarqamas, who they accused of colluding with the government.
The killing prompted FSA commanders to convene to decide whether they would now be forced to fight Al Nusra as well as the Assad government. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the ultra-fundamentalist Al Qaeda spinoff group that holds sway elsewhere in Syria, is largely absent in the south.
"We are now convinced that Nusra Front in the south is like ISIS in the north," one commander said, noting how the Islamic State faction has shifted its focus to dominating rival rebel brigades.
Though cash has begun to flow, southern commanders say they have yet to witness a significant influx of armaments, especially the portable anti-aircraft missiles that rebels in the north have long sought to counter Syrian government air power. U.S. officials fear that such weaponry could fall into the hands of Islamist militants, who could target civilian airliners.
"We think weapons supplies are imminent," one FSA commander said, "but so far nothing has come through."
Irbid, traditionally a major crossing point for Syrian-made textiles and foodstuffs, has been transformed into a rebel staging hub and rest area along the more than 200-mile border.
Southern rebel commanders have aggressively marketed themselves to potential Western patrons as the "moderate" variant favored by Washington. That is so despite the increasingly heavy presence of Al Nusra Front guerrillas and Jordanian insurgents, including followers of Abu Musab Zarqawi, the late Al Qaeda icon and Jordanian national long a scourge of U.S. forces in Iraq.
"The idea is that the southern front must have a moderate point of view, not extremist," another battalion commander said.
FSA southern commanders have complained that foreign support they receive is meager compared to the cash, arms and other assistance flowing regularly to Damascus from Tehran and Moscow, Assad's major foreign benefactors. They dismiss as inadequate the periodic weapons shipments from Jordan and the U.S. paramilitary training reportedly provided to hundreds of rebels on Jordanian soil.
