American Military Boots soon to be on the ground in Syria.
This link.
What specific tasking has been set? The Reuters item notes:
Hit squads? Longer-term hit squads?
Somebody in mainstream media should ask about rules of engagement these teams will have when they're installed as operative in the Syrian hinterlands.
The expected government response, "They will be special operations troop teams so the press is encouraged to conclude they in large measure will be conducting special operations while stationed within Syria."
What specific tasking has been set? The Reuters item notes:
U.S. President Barack Obama plans to deploy dozens of special operations forces to northern Syria to advise opposition forces in their fight against Islamic State, a major shift and a step he has long resisted to avoid getting dragged into another war in the Middle East.
The number of special operations troops in Syria would be fewer than 50, said a senior administration official, speaking ahead of an announcement on Friday by the administration. One U.S. official said the number was likely to be in the range of 20 to 30 but could not provide details.
[...] Although the United States has dispatched special operations forces into Syria in the past, including an operation in May that killed an Islamic State leader, Obama’s decision paves the way for longer-term deployments of American ground forces.

The quote from an Elkhart Indiana online report names names, and thereby does tell you what you might have guessed, in context if you only read the final paragraph of the quote.
First and last paragraphs of the quote - a dead giveaway. Our Indiana developer friends: Friends of leveraging other people's money to their benefit.

The project addresses the need for high-end housing not only for young professionals, but also empty-nesters who want to downsize.
Rent for studio apartments will start at $700 dollars per month and go up to $1200 per month for two-bedroom units.
”What we do fits very well with what we view as the mayor's vision for downtown Elkhart and what we think a lot of the citizens want here. That is really to put a focus on downtown, where you bring people back downtown,” said David Flaherty, CEO, Flaherty & Collins.
Before the project can officially start, funding needs to be finalized. Some of that money will need to come from TIF funds.

Hegsetyh offends. The only question, is the operative adverb "again," or is it "still?"
News Hounds report.
Hegseth left the active military and has been exploiting his ties to the military ever since, for money from FOX, for member contributions to his astroturf Veterans promotion, for getting his name politicized. To me that is slimy. To Hegseth it likely is business as usual, as if always intended, from Guantanamo guard duty days onward. Most veterans have too much pride in their service to do as Hegseth does.

If enough parties will attend they could hold the talks in Vienna, and call it a "Congress."
Reuters, here:
[italics added] Already did Vienna? Well, still they can exile Assad to Elba, or mid-Pacific to St. Helena.
Do the exile, then congress again, in Vienna of course - but get time sequences correct.

Arch-rivals Saudi Arabia, Iran to discuss Syria face-to-face for first time
RIYADH/DUBAI | By Angus McDowall and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin
[...] It will be the first time that Tehran attends international negotiations on Syria's war. Other participants, notably the United States, say Assad can play no part in Syria's future.
The Saudi foreign minister added that the kingdom and its allies would hold a separate meeting on Friday to seek "the time and means of Bashar al-Assad's exit".
Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Lebanon, the European Union and France also said they would attend Friday's talks, which come a day after a smaller round of negotiations between the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Around a dozen participants are expected in total.
It was not clear whether any invitation had been issued to either the Syrian government or the opposition. Neither side was present at the last talks in Vienna.

"Jeb Bush and other candidates are trying to turn the tide in a campaign that is dominated so far by provocative rhetoric that has played to the strengths of Trump, a bombastic reality television star and developer, and Carson, a soft-spoken surgeon who has been gaining support in opinion polls. The two-hour debate, moderated in Boulder, Colorado, by business network CNBC, will begin at 8 p.m. EDT Wednesday. With Trump and Carson holding a firm grip on the race in polls of likely Republican voters for the November 2016 election, the forum comes at an increasingly perilous time for lower-ranking candidates. Former Florida Governor Bush, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Ohio Governor John Kasich, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are under pressure to shake up a race [...]"
"Provocative rhetoric" indeed.
Is that what it is called? And, is that the opposite of low energy?
And, you "lower ranking candidates" let's see you liven up yourselves. Shake up a race. You hear? That headline is a quote from a Reuters online item.
Same Reuters item also says,
Rand Paul not mentoined. A Halloween and then what situation when you fall off the bottom of the list atop Rick Santorum.
For those unwilling to read long headlines, Republicans debate, again this evening - go back through the post for time and network. They do this, they do - time after time, yet again, yet again. The evening high tide rearranges the driftwood, some swept to sea. Another tide will come.
Do not forget the NBA season opens, Wolves against Lakers [both Minnesota teams ...] matched up this evening in the current hometown team's first game of the season - on the road in LA, where the Lakers now play.
Likely televised locally.

Same Reuters item also says,
Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Marco Rubio also need solid performances to build on recent momentum.
Officials from several rival campaigns said they believe the debate could help make Trump and Carson less popular if they are shown to lack knowledge of the intricacies of policy.
“If they run this thing well and push people to see if they're smart on the economy and job creation and how fiscal restraint fits into that, you could finally start separating the sheep from the goats on an important issue," said an official in the campaign of one of the Republicans vying against Trump.
