PRLog - Oct. 14, 2012 - JEBEL ALI, UAE -- Dubai , UAE- ASIS Boats , the GCC manufacturer of professional grade rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) for military , law enforcement , commercial and private industry has demonstrated one more time it's ability to sculpt its' boats according to any specification or restriction imposed by the buyer.
Military Rigid Inflatable Boat 4.2m
Known as the best marine solution provider, we at ASIS Boats, were offered a challenge to build a military Rigid Inflatable Boat that has to comply with multiple conditions. The buyer confirmed that he requested many foreign RIB builders to build that boat; none were been able.
According to height, width, and length limitations, we sculpted a special Military RIB, sized 4.2m, that is supposed to fit in a confined space on a mother ship. The second condition was the weight, where we were given the maximum carrying capacity of the crane; which the RIB had to comply with.
On the other hand, aside from the weight restriction and the dimension limitations, another challenge was there; the boat had to have a seating capacity of five solders along with their equipments.
Additionally, reaching 30 knots was also a condition.
With intensive research and development efforts, within a short period of two months, we were able to produce such a compliant RIB that not only met the expectations of the customer, but exceeded them by far.
For additional information and photos about this RIB, please visit our website: http://www.asismilitaryboats.com/

Jaden Monroe is the best at everything she does. Except getting along with people who try to boss her around. Adam Steele bosses everyone around. And they listen. Until he meets Jaden. Now the woman he needs to get his--and more importantly, his daughter''s--life back to normal is the first person to defy him. But a million dollars has a way of softening her up. Especially since that''s exactly the amount needed to finish the pediatric rehabilitation wing at the children''s hospital. In Jaden''s mind it''s her fault the fundraising came up short. After she broke up with the man who had agreed to donate the additional money, he withdrew his support. So, Adam''s offer seems like a dream come true. In spite of his demanding ways. Once Jaden meets Adam''s daughter she is determined to get the girl up and walking again. And not fall into bed--or love--with the teenager''s father. No matter what.

A beautiful Dutch seaside resort has become well-known to Japanese people over the years and unfortunately it's not due to any special campaigns or travel commercials.
It's all due to the unfortunate way it's written and pronounced, according to Japanese language conventions. The town is called Scheveningen, which seems innocent enough to western ears, but in Japan, the way it's transliterated means it's pronounced "Sukebeningen," which happens to mean "lecherous people" in Japanese.

What you need to know:
The offense wasn't quite as good as
it should've been, considering all the key parts were Charlie
Weis recruits, but it was far better than it was in 2007 when it
averaged 242 yards and 16.42 points per game. The big key to the
improvement was the pass protection that allowed 22 sacks a year
after finishing dead last in America in sacks allowed. This
year, with everyone coming back, and the one big hole, left
tackle, being filled by 2007 starter Paul Duncan, there's no
excuse for the attack to not be more consistent and to not be
even better. Weis will be handling the play-calling again, and
he has a loaded passing game led by QB Jimmy Clausen, who's
about to play up to his prep hype after taking his lumps for the
last two years. The receiving corps is jaw-dropping good with
Golden Tate, Michael Floyd and Duval Kamara a tremendous trio
that'll blow up on a regular basis, while tight end Kyle Rudolph
will be among the best in America with a little more time.
There's experience at running back, but there needs to be far
more production after averaging 110 yards per game.
Passing: Jimmy Clauson268-440, 3,172 yds, 25 TD, 17 INT
Rushing: Armondo Allen
134 carries, 585 yds, 3 TD
Receiving: Golden Tate
58 catches, 1,080 yds, 10 TD
Star of the offense:
Junior QB Jimmy Clausen
Player who has to step up and become a star: Senior OT
Paul Duncan
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore TE Kyle Rudolph
Best pro prospect: Clausen
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Clausen, 2) WR Golden
Tate, 3) WR Michael Floyd
Strength of the offense: Experience, Wide Receiver
Weakness of the offense:
Running Game, Line
Projected Starter:
Junior Jimmy Clausen,
the over-hyped, coming-out-of-a-limo recruit who was going to
put Notre Dame over the top finally might do it if he can be
more consistent. 42-0 as a high school starter, he was
considered by many to be the nation's top recruit with the size,
athleticism, and arm to have gone anywhere, but he struggled
early on. Killed behind a miserable offensive line and with no
receivers to throw to as a true freshman, and trying to get over
arm surgery, he threw for just 1,254 yards and seven touchdowns
with six interceptions. The 6-3, 217-pounder bulked up, has a
stronger arm with more zip on his throws, and he showed an
inkling of what he can do when everything is clicking with a
22-of-26, 401-yard, five touchdown day against Hawaii in the
Hawaii Bowl after coming off a disastrous 11-of-22, 41-yard, two
touchdown performance against USC. On the year he completed 61%
of his throws for 3,172 yards and 25 touchdowns, but he threw 17
interceptions with two or more in eight games. He had a terrific
spring overall and appears to have a far better command of the
attack. With NFL skills and two years of experience, now is the
time to live up to the potential. His brothers Rick and Casey
were starters at Tennessee.
Projected Top Reserves:
If Jimmy Clausen wasn't the franchise,
Dayne Crist would be given a longer look for
the starting job. The 6-4, 233-pound sophomore looked the part
this offseason with a big-time arm that can make all the throws
and better running skills than Clausen (who's one of Crist's
best friends since they were kids). While he didn't play last
year, he appears ready to step in if needed and the coaching
staff would love it if he gave Clausen more of a push.
Yes, sophomore walk-on Nate Montana is the son
of you-know-who. Mostly a scout teamer, the 6-4, 200-pounder is
bigger than his dad and has a live, accurate arm. However, if
he's playing this year, it's either a blowout or disaster has
Watch Out For ... Crist to worked into the fold.
There's no real battle for the No. 1 spot, it's Clausen's, but
the second there's a chance, the sophomore will be on the field
getting some work in. He really is that good and that promising.
Strength: Clausen. It probably would've been smarter overall for
Clausen to have redshirted as a true freshman rather than play
hurt, but the lumps he took should pay off now that he's a
two-year starter. Remember, Brady Quinn didn't make the leap
into superstardom until his junior year.
Weakness: Running. Forget about much of a threat out of the
backfield. Clausen isn't a statue, but linebackers aren't going
to have to deal with the option of a running quarterback.
Outlook: Surprise, surprise. The O line provided a
little time, the receiving corps matured a bit, and all of a
sudden, Jimmy Clausen wasn't so awful. He had to force things
that weren't there to get the offense going and he had a
nightmare of a time with interceptions, but he's mature, in
command, and ready for a huge year. Dayne Crist is a good enough
backup to prevent any sort of drop off if Clausen goes down.
Rating: 8
Running Backs
Projected Starters:
While it's a running back-by-committee approach in the Irish
backfield, best option of the bunch is Amando Allen,
a tough, quick, 5-10, 195-pound junior with sub-4.4 speed and
great hands for the passing game. He not only led the team with
585 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, he finished second
with 50 catches for 355 yards and two scores and served as a
killer of a kickoff returner averaging 25.9 yards per try. This
offseason was about him becoming a tougher inside runner, and he
showed he could handle it. With his wheels, getting him in the
open and on the move as much as possible is a must.
Part fullback, part tailback, 6-0, 225-pound
senior James Aldridge will do a little bit of
everything for the backfield. With a good blend of power and speed, he
finished third on the team with 357 rushing yards and three touchdowns,
and he caught three passes but netted just one yards. While he's
expected to work more as a tailback and should be a workhorse from time
to time, his blocking skills and his all-around ability will keep him on
the field for three downs.
Projected Top Reserves:
Bringing the inside power is Robert Hughes,
a 5-11, 237-pound junior who ran for 382 yards and four touchdowns. Not
the receiver that Armando Allen is, he's a decent plow-horse of a back
who became a bit of a folk hero late in his freshman year by running for
110 yards against Duke and 136 yards against Stanford to close out the
year. With his rushing ability and his size, he'll also be used a bit at
Jonas Gray could be the lost man in the mix. The 5-10,
220-pound sophomore got a little bit of work last season rushing for 90
yards on 21 carries. A nice recruit coming out of Detroit, Gray showed
off flashes of quickness to go along with his size and power, but he
won't likely be a major factor until next year and should spend most of
his time on special teams.
If and when James Aldridge is at tailback, 6-2, 235-pound junior
Steve Paskorz will likely get the first look at fullback. He
was a backup last season and saw time in ten games, and while he didn't
handle the ball, he showed upside as a blocker.
Watch Out For ... more power. Running back coach
Tony Alford spent this spring trying to bust this group into better
shape and be more aggressive. Part of the problem last year was the
line, but the backs needed to do a better job of finishing off runs and
bang away on the inside. This should be a harder running set of backs.
Strength: Options.
With the top four backs of last year returning, keeping everyone fresh
and going with the hot hand won't be a problem. Defenses will have to
prepare for all four backs with the coaching staff more than happy to
spread the wealth around.
Weakness: Production. The backs are fine against the bad teams,
but they struggled to be consistent and they didn't break off any big
runs. The longest run from any of the top four backs was just 21 yards,
and that can't be blamed only on the line.
Outlook: The four returning backs should morph
into a better, more productive ground game after the Irish finished
100th in the nation averaging 110 yards per game. There aren't enough
big runs and there hasn't been enough consistency, but Armando Allen,
Robert Hughes, and James Aldridge have been around long enough to know
what they're doing. This is a serviceable set of backs, but hardly
Rating: 6.5
Projected Starters:
Junior Golden Tate was a huge
recruit for Charlie Weis a few years ago, but he struggled to do much in
his first year, partly due to the problems across the board for the
Irish offense. And then he blew up. One of the nation's premier deep
threats, the 5-11, 195-pound speedster with 4.4 wheels averaged a
whopping 18.6 yards per grab with a team-leading 58 catches for 1,080
yards and ten touchdowns. A consistent producer all season long, despite
being shut out by Navy and catching just two passes for 15 yards, he
started to really turn it on late in the year catching seven passes for
146 yards and two touchdowns against Syracuse and making six grabs for
177 yards and three scores against Hawaii. He missed most of this spring
because he spent a bulk of his time playing baseball, but he'll be the
No. 1 target on the outside X position come fall.
6-3, 215-pound sophomore Michael Floyd went from being
Minnesota's Mr. Football to a star target in the Irish passing attack
without a problem. One of the team's top recruits of 2007, he didn't
disappoint catching 48 passes for 719 yards and seven touchdowns,
averaging 15 yards per catch, with three 100-yard games. He was
unstoppable against Pitt with ten catches for 100 yards and two
touchdowns, but he didn't score over the final five games of the season,
and miss the final two games of the regular season, with a leg problems.
While he missed most of spring ball healing up, he'll be a star again at
the Z position.
Kyle Rudolph stepped in when Mike Ragone went down with
a knee injury and came up with a huge freshman season at tight end. The
6-6, 258-pound not only showed he could block, but he caught 29 passes
for 340 yards and two touchdowns. The first freshman tight end to ever
start on opening day for the Irish, he has All-America potential and
will be more than just a nice safety valve for Jimmy Clausen.
Projected Top Reserves:
With Golden Tate playing baseball, junior
Duval Kamara was listed as the starter at the outside X
position despite having problems with a hamstring injury. The 6-5,
219-pounder isn't a speedster, but he has been able to make consistent
plays down the field averaging 10.3 yards per catch last year. While his
role will be diminished because of the emergence of Tate, he should
equal last year's production of 20 catches for 206 yards and a score. He
led the team in 2007 with 32 grabs.
On the verge of big things is Rob Parris, a 6-3,
210-pound senior who was fantastic when he got his chances this spring
and should see more time in three-wide sets and playing behind Michael
Floyd at the Z. While he only caught nine passes for 50 yards last year,
he was a key target two years ago with 29 catches for 361 yards yards
and a score. The veteran is a great route runner and has excellent
There's a lot of excitement about two emerging sophomores, 6-2,
188-pound Deion Walker and 6-3, 197-pound John
Goodman. A key scout teamer last year, Walker has tremendous
speed on the outside and could be used in three-wide sets as a field
stretcher. Goodman is a big inside target with excellent athleticism and
the skills to potentially be a No. 1 target down the road.
While Kyle Rudolph has emerged as a special
tight end and the starter for the next three years, Mike Ragone
will see a spot somewhere. The 6-5, 251-pound junior was
supposed to be the next big thing for the Irish offense, but he suffered
a torn ACL and is just now getting back into the swing of things. He's
still not quite back to form, at least he wasn't this spring, and will
need to take a few shots before he trusts his knee again. One of
the nation's best recruits, he was a superstar high school wrestler
along with being a great receiver.
Watch Out For ... the depth. There's no question
that Tate, Floyd, and Rudolph are the stars of the show and the starters
the passing game will work around, but after a great spring, Parris and
Goodman will see more action. Ragone, knee problems and all, is way too
talented to not see time at tight end.
Strength: Sheer talent. It's not a stretch in any way to suggest that this could
turn out to be the best receiving corps in the long and storied history
of Notre Dame football, and when all is said and done, it might not even
be close. Tate and Floyd are special, and it'll be a shock if Rudolph
isn't an All-American sooner than later.
Weakness: Health. Can Tate
hold up after double-dipping as a baseball player this offseason? He's
not as big or as strong as Jeff Samardzija, who did the same thing, was.
Kamara has a hamstring issue, Floyd is recovering from a leg problem,
and Ragone's knee is always going to be iffy. Injuries are the only
thing that can ruin this great corps.
Outlook: It's all there with size, speed,
experience, depth, and next-level talent. As long as everyone stays
healthy, this should mature into one of the nation's better receiving
corps as it grows along with the maturation of Jimmy Clausen. The lumps
taken over the last two years should pay off with all the star recruits
looking to take things to a whole other level after a breakout 2008.
Rating: 9.5
Offensive Line
Projected Starters:
There's only one opening on the veteran front five, but it's an
important spot with Michael Turkovich gone at left tackle. It was
supposed to be a long battle to win the job, but senior Paul
Duncan came through with a big spring after missing all of last
year with a hip problem. The 6-7, 308-pounder started 11 games in 2007
seeing time on both sides, but he was as good as new this offseason and
was fantastic. Now he'll have to prove he's better in pass protection
than he was two years ago. The star of the line is Sam
Young, the one-time superstar recruit, who was considered by
some to be the No. 1 national prospect in the 2006 class. He hadn't
lived up to his pro potential, but he has improved enough to be the
anchor of the line. The 6-8, 330-pound senior has the size and the
experience, having started all 38 games after getting on the field on
day one of his true freshman season. While he has improved and is far
better than he was a few years ago, but he'll have the dreaded tag of
Right Tackle Only for the next level. He has the size, but he's not an
elite enough athlete to handle most star speed rushers. However, he's
decent for the ground game and he has become more consistent.
6-5, 306-pound sophomore Trevor Robinson started three
games last year at right guard and will likely be back in the role again
once he's healthy, he's extremely versatile, able to play anywhere on
the line, and has the potential to be the team's best guard sooner than
later. He'll have to fight for the right guard job after being out for
most of the spring, but he's too good not to be a part of the starting
mix.Senior center Dan Wenger started every game
last season at center and is improving to the point of being a major
plus. Very smart and with good size, the 6-4, 302-pound veteran can
handle the shotgun snap without a problem and has grown into a strong
quarterback up front. While not a dominant run blocker for his size, he
has improved.Back again at left guard will be 6-4, 303-pound
senior Eric Olsen, a rock up front as the starter for
the last 19 games, the 2006 New York Gatorade Player of the Year, has
great feet, big-time toughness, and a nasty disposition when he locks on
to a lineman. While he hasn't been as good as he probably should be for
the ground game, his pass protection has been a major plus.
Projected Top Reserves:
While Trevor Robinson might be the
team's best option at right guard, Chris Stewart is the
most experienced. The 6-5, 337-pound senior started nine games last year
and was solid, but he'll be worth most for his versatility. He can play
almost anywhere on the line, and after seeing time as a defensive tackle
early in his career, he's tough enough and experienced enough to do even
more in his last year. Trying to battle for the starting left
tackle job is Matt Romine, a 6-5, 292-pound junior
who'll likely be the starter next year, but he has been hurt with an
ankle injury and he was sick this spring. He has beefed up enough to be
a regular at the position, but he'll most likely start the year as a key
backup.Working as the understudy behind Sam Young at right
guard, and the likely starter next year, will be 6-5, 301-pound junior
Taylor Dever, a good prospect who could play either
tackle spot once he gets healthy. Out for most of spring ball, he'll be
fine by the start of the season and could step in if Young ever moves to
left tackle.
Watch Out For ... Duncan. He's the one new starter
up front and he's at the most important position. He was just good
enough this offseason to allow the coaching staff a chance to exhale,
but if the production in pass protection goes down this year, he might
be the one who'll get blamed first.
Strength: Experience. Not only do four starters return, not
including Duncan, who started most of 2007, but this line has a few
seasons of experience at some spots. Young, Olsen and Wenger all started
every game last season, while Stewart and Robinson can each shine at
right guard.
Weakness: Production for the running game. The pass protection
improved by leaps and bounds, it couldn't have been any worse after the
disastrous 2007, but there wasn't any push for the ground game. These
are talented players who either 1) were overrated coming out of high
school, 2) haven't been developed properly, 3) are about to put it all
together and come up with a big year, or 4) all of the above.
Outlook: After a disastrous 2007 when the line
couldn't stop getting the quarterbacks hit on a regular basis, things
were better with improved play in pass protection. The running game
never materialized, and now the coaching staff is making a point of
getting this group to be tougher, more physical, and a strength. There's
a ceiling on what Notre Dame can do this year unless the line play is
far better, and while it should be stronger than it's been in three
years, this still won't be a dominant front five.

UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS MARINE FORCES RESERVE 4400 DAUPHINE ST NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70146-5400 ForO ForO 1754.2A G-1M 05 JUN 97 FORCE ORDER 1754.2A From: Commander To: Distribution List Subj: FAMILY READINESS SUPPORT PROGRAM (FRSP) Ref: (a) MCO 1754.1 (Marine Corps Family Readiness Support Program) (b) MCO 1754.2A (Key Volunteer Network) (c) ForO 3060.3 (Readiness Support Program SOP) (d) NAVMC 2917 (Key Volunteer Network Commanding Officer's Guide) (e) NAVMC 2918 (Key Volunteer Network Key Volunteer's Guide) (f) NAVMC 2919 (Key Volunteers Network Coordinator's Guide) (g) NAVMC 2020 (Key Volunteer Network Training Guide) Encl: (1) Types of Support (2) List of FRSP Related References/Publications (3) List of Federal/State Social Service Agencies (4) FRSP Points of Contact (5) CMC White Letter No. 08-96 1. Purpose. To promulgate Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) policy, procedures and guidance for the management and administration of the FRSP, to include the MARFORRES Key Volunteer Network (KVN). 2. Cancellation. ForO 1754.2 3. Background. References (a) and (b) established policy and procedures for the development of FRSP's and Key Volunteer Networks. Reference (c) directed the establishment of Reserve Districts and Peacetime/Wartime Support Teams (PWST's) to assist in a variety of pre-mobilization and post-mobilization support functions, to include family readiness. Furthermore, reference (c) mandated conceptual revisions to MARFORRES's previous FRSP, intended to enhance Total Force support of both Active and Reserve component families. This order therefore provides modified FRSP procedures in consonance with guidance contained in reference (c). 4. Summary of Revision. This revision contains a substantial number of changes and must be completely reviewed. ForO 1754.2A 5. Policy. Marine Corps personnel bear the primary responsibility for the well-being of their families. But the unique and demanding nature of Marine Corps service necessitates a viable and robust program to assist personnel in ensuring for the welfare of their families, particularly in time of war and/or deployment. This requires a proactive and synergistic effort on the part of all Marines, Sailors, units, volunteer networks, and support activities, to effectively prepare families for the rigors and stresses they may encounter as a result of their Marine/Sailor's service. Furthermore, in keeping with Total Force doctrine and the Marine Corps' tradition of "taking care of our own," local family support efforts must, as necessary, be inclusive of all Marine (and Sailor attached to a Marine unit) family members. Accordingly, MARFORRES personnel involved in family readiness and support will focus on education and preparation of families of assigned personnel, but will be ready to extend support, as required, to any Marine family within their local area. 6. Procedures a. General. MARFORRES's organization and the nature of Reserve component service presents a number of unique problems relative to family readiness and support. The geographic dispersion of MARFORRES units, the number of Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) members that reside far from where they drill, and the number of Reserve members without unit affiliations (i.e., Individual Ready Reserves and Retirees) precludes employing many approaches common to the Active Component family readiness efforts. These problems are further compounded by the unfamiliarity of many MARFORRES families with the nuances of military life and the availability of military support services. Conversely, MARFORRES's geographic dispersion and access to a variety of civilian support agencies can serve as a force multiplier in offsetting many of these problems. Therefore, MARFORRES family assistance programs will: (1) Assume a geographic orientation, with Reserve Training Centers (RTC's) preparing to provide support to Marine families residing within their area, regardless of component or unit affiliation. (2) Focus on providing local SMCR families pre-mobilization/pre-deployment family readiness education and support. (3) Focus on providing any local Marine family with post- mobilization/post-deployment referral service support or any other reasonable assistance, as required. 2 ForO 1754.2A b. Types of Support (1) Pre-mobilization/Pre-deployment. Pre-mobilization and/or pre-deployment support will be accomplished via RTC "Family Days," IRR musters, and mailouts. This type of support principally involves educating families on and preparing them for the mobilization/deployment of their Marine or Sailor. The items that should be addressed with families prior to mobilization or deployment are outlined in enclosure (1). Given the difficulty in effectively preparing families of IRR and Retired Marines (because they do not drill or have any unit affiliation), it is imperative that a viable FRSP already be established and ready in the event of mobilization or deployment. Enclosures (2), (3), and (4) provide further guidance and assistance with establishing a viable FRSP. (2) Post-mobilization/Post-deployment. Post-mobilization and/or post-deployment support will be coordinated/provided by PWST personnel. This type of support principally involves coordinating assistance for local Marine families, as required. Enclosure (1) outlines some of the types of support that RTC's must plan/prepare to provide for families of mobilized/deployed Marines or attached Navy personnel. In developing support plans, RTC's should place an emphasis on referring families to local resources (e.g. area DoD Family Service Centers and DEERS sites; municipal, county and state social service agencies; hospitals/clinics and police departments; private crisis intervention organizations; etc.), and develop turnover folders listing those resources. Although many of the pre- mobilization and/or pre-deployment types of support listed in enclosure (1) can/will be accomplished by Mobilization Reserve Training Centers (MRTC's) or Mobilization Processing Centers (MPC's) at a Marine's Station of Initial Assignment (SIA), RTC's should plan on having to coordinate/provide support for IRR'S and Retired Marines also. c. Concept of Support (1) General (a) With Marine Corps Reserve Support Command (MCRSC) assistance, Reserve Districts will delineate RTC support boundaries based on geographical groupings of zip codes. RTC's will be required to provide pre-mobilization/pre-deployment support to families of Marines and attached Navy personnel residing within their assigned area of responsibility, regardless of unit affiliation. RTC's will also be required to provide post-mobilization/post-deployment support for families of any mobilized/deployed Marine residing within their assigned area, regardless of component or unit affiliation. 3 ForO 1754.2A RTC's located on or near a major Marine Corps installation (i.e., base or station) will not be required to provide post- mobilization/post-deployment support to Non-MARFORRES families residing within their area of responsibility, since these families will be able to obtain assistance through facilities aboard the installation. (b) Transient families of mobilized/deployed Marines or attached Navy personnel will be provided with a Marine Corps toll- free Family Assistance phone number to identify the RTC nearest to where they are moving. If they require assistance, they will then contact that RTC, who will support them. (c) In the event of a serious family problem that warrants the Marine's or Sailor's notification, the RTC will contact the Red Cross and the member's parent command (i.e., the RTC of the MARFORRES member's regiment/group/battalion headquarters, or - in the case of a Non-MARFORRES member - the duty officer at the command's rear headquarters). (2) Supporting Elements/Key Personnel. The duties/responsibilities of supporting elements/key personnel are as follows: (a) MARFORRES FRSP Council. The FRSP Council will be chaired by the MARFORRES Family Readiness Officer (FRO) and composed of representatives from each MARFORRES Major Subordinate Command (MSC) and the MARFORRES Chaplain, Sergeant Major, Key Volunteer Advisor (KVA), and Key Volunteer Coordinator (KVC). The primary function of the Council will be to recommend policy, procedures and guidance for the MARFORRES FRSP, and assist RTC's in the development of local FRSP's. (b) Reserve Districts. Reserve Districts will supervise planning and execution of their respective RTC FRSP efforts, and - upon mobilization of their Reserve staffs - provide RTC's assistance, as required/requested. Reserve District Commanders will appoint, in writing, a Reserve District staff member to serve as the Reserve District's FRO. Reserve District Commanders will also appoint, in writing, a minimum of one Key Volunteer to serve as a KVA and act as a mentor to the KVN within their geographical boundaries. The Reserve District FRO and KVA will be guided in their duties by the Reserve District Commander and the references. (c) RTC Active-Duty Staff(s). Although support capabilities of most RTC's are limited, for the purposes of this 4 ForO 1754.2A order RTC's and their active duty staff(s) will be considered as Family Service Centers (FSC's), as referred to in the references. Accordingly, the active duty staff of an RTC will provide the core of support for FRSP planning, coordination, and execution, under the guidance/supervision of the senior active duty Marine. 1. For purposes of the MARFORRES FRSP, the senior active duty Marine will perform the functions of Commanding Officer (CO), as outlined in reference (a), (b), and (d) through (g). He/she will be responsible for providing guidance/ supervision over RTC FRSP related activities and will, in the case of multiple active duty staffs colocated at an RTC, coordinate active duty support of FRSP activities with his/her active duty staff counterpart. The senior active duty Marine will also establish and chair an RTC FRSP Council, comprised of key individuals identified below, to coordinate and plan FRSP efforts. 2. The senior active duty Marine at each RTC will appoint a member of his/her staff to be responsible for the RTC's Family Readiness program. Due to integration of I-I Marines into the Reserve units, and given the unique structure and requirements of Marine Reserve Force, every effort should be made to add the functions of the FRO to the additional duties list of the RTC First Sergeant/ Sergeant Major. Exceptions to this guidance should be coordinated with the MARFORRES FRO on a case by case basis. The First Sergeant/Sergeant Major will be the primary individual responsible for the planning and coordination of FRSP activities and the training of all other RTC support elements, and will serve as the continuity for the RTC's Family Readiness program in the event of unit mobilization/deployment. References (a), (b), and (d) through (g) outline the duties of a FRO. (d) SMCR Unit(s). Since one of the principal purposes of the MARFORRES FRSP is to support SMCR members' families, SMCR units must be made integral to FRSP planning, coordination, and execution. To this end, SMCR unit commanders will appoint, in writing, a Family Support Officer (FSO). The FSO will serve as the SMCR unit commander's link to the senior active duty Marine and his/her FRO, and will focus on coordinating pre-mobilization/pre-deployment type support for the members and families of his/her unit. (e) PWST(s). Per reference (c), PWST's perform a variety of peacetime support functions in direct support of RTC's and their active duty staffs. Upon unit mobilization and integration of the active duty staff, PWST members will be activated to replace active duty staff members. Consequently, PWST members must be made an 5 ForO 1754.2A integral part of FRSP planning and coordination, and be prepared to assume responsibility for the FRSP. Therefore, the senior active duty Marine will appoint, in writing, one PWST member to serve as the assistant FRO (AFRO). In the event that the FRO is deployed or reassigned as a result of mobilization, the AFRO will assume the duties of FRO. PWST's should focus on soliciting/identifying volunteers among members of Marine Corps related organizations, former Marines, and retired Marines for the RTC's Key Volunteer Network. (f) Key Volunteer Network (KVN). The Key Volunteer Network is a communications network, formed within a unit to keep families better informed about the mission and tasks of that unit, and to assist in establishing a sense of community within the unit. It is also a support network, providing information and the means for problem solving at the lowest level possible. This enables the unit to achieve a higher state of readiness. Enclosure (5) provides further guidance from the Commandant of the Marine Corps on FRSP and the KVN. Reference (a), (b), and (d) through (g) provide guidance on the use of key volunteers. Participation in KVN's will be strictly voluntary. Volunteers may be spouses of SMCR and IRR members, retirees, or anyone that resides within the local area that is willing and able to assist in the RTC's FRSP efforts. The RTC's senior active duty Marine will appoint, in writing, a KVC and all other Key Volunteers. The KVC will serve as the FRO's link to volunteer support, and will be guided in his/her duty by the RTC's senior active duty Marine and the references. 7. Action a. Commander, Marine Forces Reserve. Appoint, in writing, a minimum of two Key Volunteers to serve as the Force KVA and KVC. b. Assistant Chief of Staff, G-1. (1) Appoint an officer to serve as the MARFORRES FRO. (2) Coordinate support of Active component families with Headquarters, Marine Corps and all Marine Corps bases/stations. c. MARFORRES Family Readiness Officer (1) Ensure implementation of the FRSP throughout MARFORRES, and coordinate support of the MARFORRES FRSP with Headquarters, Marine Corps, all Marine Corps base/station FSC's, MARFORRES MSC's, and Reserve Districts. (2) Provide liaison support relative to FRSP matters for all MARFORRES elements. 6 ForO 1754.2A (3) Plan/coordinate FRSP training for all supporting elements/key individuals. (4) Coordinate receipt/distribution of FRSP related training materials. (5) Coordinate funding of FRSP activities with the Comptroller. d. MARFORRES Key Volunteer Advisor (1) Advise the Commander, MARFORRES and the MARFORRES Family Readiness Council on the use of Key Volunteers. (2) Assist the FRO in coordinating training for Key Volunteers. (3) In accordance with the references, serve as a mentor for Key Volunteers throughout MARFORRES. e. MARFORRES Key Volunteer Coordinator (1) Serve as liaison between the Force Key Volunteer Network and Commander, MARFORRES and provide feedback on family concerns. (2) Provide input to MARFORRES Family Readiness Council on training issues addressing the Force FRSP. f. Commanding Generals, MSCs (1) Appoint, in writing, an MSC FRO for FRSP planning and coordination. (2) Appoint, in writing, an MSC KVC to coordinate KVN actions. (3) Ensure all SMCR units establish a KVN for the dissemination of information. g. Commanding General, MCRSC. In addition to the above tasks: (1) Assist Reserve Districts in the delineation of RTC boundaries for FRSP related support. (2) Provide RTC's with Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) output on SMCR's, IRR's, and Retirees residing within their assigned areas, as requested. 7 ForO 1754.2A (3) Ensure PWST's receive FRSP instruction during their initial annual training. h. Commanders, Reserve Districts (1) Appoint, in writing a member of your Reserve District staff to serve as the District's FRO. (2) Appoint, in writing, a Key Volunteer to serve as the District KVA and act as mentor for the KVN within the District. (3) Coordinate the delineation of RTC boundaries with MCRSC. (4) In accordance with this order, ensure the development of RTC FRSP's. 8. Reserve Applicability. This order is applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve. /s/ J. R.

The operational tempo of the United States military today, and the Marine Corps role as our National Force in Readiness, necessitates rapid deployment and effective operations in scenarios other than war. Without this capability, our Nation will not be successful in its role as peace keeper. Operations like Provide Comfort in Northern Iraq, Uphold Democracy in Haiti, and the current situation in Bosnia, have and will continue to demand the best our Corps has to offer. 2. As we know, operational tempo has a significant impact on families. The changing demographics in the last two decades show a dramatic rise in the number of married men and women serving on active duty, and the Marine Corps is no exception. Family obligations and concerns should not diminish a Marine's readiness or availability to go where they are needed. We are a strong community, and we have a network of services and programs that must be maintained on behalf of our families. 3. Within the Marine Corps, the most effective method of communication between commanding officers and family members remains the Key Volunteer Network. The contribution of these volunteers to family readiness during operations is invaluable. They work hard, often at personal expense, to keep family members informed. The key volunteers have earned our appreciation, and commanding officers shall take measures to ensure their continued support. 4. Training for key volunteers is outlined in MCO 1754.2A and Subj: FAMILY READINESS SUPPORT PROGRAMS/KEY VOLUNTEER NETWORK should be coordinated with the local Family Service Center. We focus on increasing confidence in Marine (and attached Navy) families so they can be self-reliant, and thus enhance unit readiness. The Family Service Center has a standardized training program which can be modified to include areas that commanding officers find necessary. 5. Headquarters Marine Corps (MHF) has provided a quarterly allocation of funds to major commands that is to be used to reimburse key volunteers for incidental expenses. Given the hours they spend on behalf of the command and the service they provide, this money is well spent on the Key Volunteer Network. 6. I expect commanding officers to follow the provisions of MCO 1754.1A and MCO 1754.2A by funding and training, and most importantly, providing command support to these volunteers. The value of these programs in promoting pride in the Corps and readiness in our troops is beyond measure. As leaders of the finest fighting force in the world, we must recognize that the care and safety of our families is an essential element of our commitment to our Marines. C. C. KRULAK

By Valerie Volcovici WILLIAMSON, WV (Reuters) - With coal trains chugging past in the distance, Jack Perry watches as his wife, Margie, plants row upon row of Hungarian pepper seedlings in the community garden that residents of this West Virginia coal town call the "Garden of Eatin'." "The peppers they sell at the stores don't taste anything like this," says Perry, a retired coal worker. Unlike their neighbors in Kentucky, where there have been state-sponsored economic transition efforts, West Virginians have been largely left on their own to respond to coal's decline.
A South Korean court on Tuesday rejected a US hedge fund's request to block the sale of treasury stocks by construction firm Samsung C&T, clearing the path for the $8.0 billion merger of two Samsung affiliates. The planned merger, which would see Cheil Industries acquire Samsung C&T Corp through an all-stock deal, is the latest in a series of moves by Samsung's founding Lee family to boost control over the conglomerate ahead of a generational power transfer. The US hedge fund, Elliot Associates, which holds a 7.12 percent stake in Samsung C&T, has opposed the merger, arguing that it "significantly undervalues" the construction firm's stock.
At least 14 people were killed and 11 wounded on Tuesday when gunmen attacked a northern Kenyan village, close to the border with war-torn Somalia, police and Red Cross said. "The attack occurred at a village near a large livestock market just outside the town, 14 people are dead," a senior police officer said in the town of Mandera. Top local official, county commissioner Alex Ole Nkoyo, confirmed the attack to Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper, while Kenya Red Cross said it had taken 11 wounded to hospital.

Caps re-sign Johansson; Two years, $4 million
Sep 7, 2013, 9:25 AM EDT
The Washington Capitals are now officially ready to start the season.
The team announced they've re-signed restricted free agent forward Marcus Johansson to a two-year, $4 million deal. He was the final player the Caps had to get inked to a deal before the start of training camp.
Johansson has emerged as a key player for the Caps as he found a home on the left wing of the first line alongside Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Ovechkin. That trio got things going when Ovechkin found his stride midway through the year on his way to a MVP-winning season. Johansson finished the year with six goals and 22 points.
This season, he'll break camp hoping to keep his spot on that top line while also upping his offensive output.

Amelia Island Travel Tips
If tranquility is what you look for in a vacation spot, Amelia Island is where you want to be. The island was named after King George II of England's daughter, Princess Amelia, and you might feel like royalty during your stay here. From the serene sparkling waters, postcard-worthy views, quaint streets and constant warm sunshine, it's impossible to have anything less than a good time.
Amelia Island is just 30 miles from Jacksonville but offers you peace and quiet instead of hustle and bustle. You can spend your days hitting the links, lounging on the 13 miles of beaches, strolling through town exploring historic architecture and dining out at fantastic local eateries.
Conde Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice Awards consistently ranks Amelia Island as one of the Top 10 North American Islands, so you can be sure this Florida locale is an excellent spot for your next getaway.
Things to Do on Amelia Island
Amelia Island Museum of History: In the old Nassau County jail you'll find the Amelia Island Museum of History, which details the island's unique past and how it has evolved. As you move through the space you'll see exhibits on the Timucua Tribe, the island's first residents and the Civil War. There's even a hands-on display called Discovery Ship where kids can learn to tie a knot and pilot their own ship. Docents from the museum offer guided tours of the museum as well as historic areas around town where you can find out more about Amelia Island's "golden area," ghost stories and holiday homes. For those who enjoy a libation every now and then, hop on one of the city's delightful pub tours.
Amelia Island Lighthouse: Continue the history lesson with a visit to the Amelia Island Lighthouse, which is open to the public on Saturdays. Book a tour to hear about the lighthouse from a professional or simply visit to take in the gorgeous structure. The lighthouse was built in 1838 and is the oldest existing lighthouse in Florida, marking the entrance leading to St. Marys River, the Cumberland Sound and the Fernandina Beach Harbor. Watch ships sail into port, and don't forget your camera - there are sure to be tons of photo-worthy moments here.
Hit the golf courses: Whether you want to practice your putt or play a full game, golfing is a big part of the culture on Amelia Island. In fact, there are seven different courses to choose from, all with stunning views, gorgeous greens and excellent opportunities to hit the links. The Amelia River Golf Club is one of the best conditioned courses on the island. The Omni Amelia Island Plantation was named a "silver medal golf resort" by Golf magazine, The 18-hole Golf Club of Amelia Island was designed by Mark McCumber and Gene Littler, two former PGA-tour golfers. Florida's First Coast of Gold is home to the World Golf Hall of Fame. Golf Club of North Hampton was created by golf pro Arnold Palmer, and the Fernandina Beach Golf Club is one of the favorite municipal courses.
The Spa at Omni Amelia Island Plantation: After a rousing game of golf at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, treat yourself to one of the life's best luxuries and head to the spa. Since your getaway is all about relaxation, a massage, facial or a full day of pampering should definitely be on the itinerary. The products used here are eco-friendly, and there's a relaxation area and garden for you to enjoy between treatments as you sip herbal tea or fruit-infused water. You can also take a yoga class here to get in some extra stretching and meditating.
Dining on Amelia Island
Moon River Pizza: Pizza is a classic dish for many people, and if you're jonesing for a slice while on Amelia Island, head to Moon River, which some consider the best pizza in northeast Florida. The pies are hand-tossed and specially prepared for each patron. Choose from a pizza with a variety of toppings, calzones or a salad and wash it all down with a glass of wine or beer. Moon River offers a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your travel companions' company and delicious comfort food.
Barbara Jeans: If you love down-home Southern cooking, be sure to stop in Barbara Jeans. This family-run eatery started in 1998 on St. Simmons Island in Georgia and got so popular it expanded, adding locations on Amelia Island and in Ponte Vedra. Barbara Jean herself is the mastermind behind the delicious recipes, so you'll feel like you've been transported back to Mom's kitchen as you bite into shrimp fritters, a chicken fried chicken sandwich, tuna steaks, meatloaf or catfish. And be sure to save room for the famous "Chocolate Stuff" or homemade bread pudding.

Dear Amy,
I felt compelled to write and tell you I'm in love... in love with your Tamale dinners. I got hooked on tamales when we visited Albuquerque, NM, several years ago and since then have been in search of another good tamale! My husband tells me not to order them when I see them infrequently on a menu at a Mexican restaurant but I usually give in and am ultimately disappointed. So, I was hesitant to spend the money on my first Amy's Tamale Verde dinner but I did and I sure am glad because the tamale took me back to Albuquerque! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Jackie Hall
Dear Amy,
One of my favorite soups in Thai restaurants is Thom Kai Gai soup. I recently tried your Thai Coconut Soup and just love it!! I added a squirt of Sriachi sauce to give it even more kick. I'm not a vegetarian but I've been enjoying your foods for over 10 years now. Some of my other favorites are the Indian meals and the Tofu Scramble. Now that I'm pregnant, I am even more thankful for your easy, healthy meals.
Thanks again!!

Precious has shut down. She avoids looking at people, she hardly ever speaks, she's nearly illiterate. Inside her lives a great hurt, and also her child, conceived in a rape. She is fat. Her clothes are too tight. School is an ordeal of mocking cruelty. Home is worse. Her mother, defeated by life, takes it out on her daughter. After Precious is raped by her father, her mother, is angry not at the man, but at the child for "stealing" him.
There's one element in the film that redeems this landscape of despair. That element is hope. Not the hope of Precious, but that of two women who want better for her. It's not that Precious "shows promise." I think it's that these women, having in their jobs seen a great deal, can hardly imagine a girl more obviously in pain.
That is the starting point for "Precious," a great American film that somehow finds an authentic way to move from these beginnings to an inspiring ending. Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe, a young actress in her debut performance as Precious, says, "I know this girl. I know her in my family, I know her in my friends, I've seen her, I've lived beside this girl."
We may have seen her, too, if we looked. People often don't really look. They see, evaluate, dismiss.
Sidibe is heartbreaking as Precious, that poor girl. Three other actresses perform so powerfully in the film that academy voters will be hard-pressed to choose among them. Audiences may be hard-pressed to recognize them. The comedian Mo'Nique plays Mary, Precious' chain-smoking couch potato of a mother, treating her daughter like a domestic servant and turning a blind eye on years of abuse. Paula Patton is Ms. Rain, Precious' teacher, who is able to see through the girl's sullen withdrawal and her vulgarities, and wonder what pain it may be masking. Mariah Carey is Ms. Weiss, a social worker.
This casting looks almost cynical on paper, as if reflecting old Hollywood days when stars were slipped into "character roles" with a wink. But Lee Daniels, the director, didn't cast them for their names, and actually doesn't use any of their star qualities. He requires them to act. Somehow he was able to see beneath the surface and trust that they had within the emotional resources to play these women, and he was right. Daniels began his career by producing "Monster's Ball," in which Halle Berry shed her glamour and found such depths that she won an Oscar. Daniels must have an instinct for performances waiting to flower.
Carey and Patton are equal with Sidibe in screen impact; the film holds the girl in the center of their attempt to save her future. Why would a teacher and a social worker go to such lengths to intervene? They must see tragic victims of abuse every day.
Mary, the mother, is perhaps not a bad woman but simply one defeated by the forces she now employs against her daughter. Mo'Nique is frighteningly convincing.
The film is a tribute to Sidibe's ability to engage our empathy. Her work is still another demonstration of the mystery of some actors, who evoke feelings in ways beyond words and techniques. She so completely creates the Precious character that you rather wonder if she's very much like her.
You meet Sidibe, who is engaging, outgoing and 10 years older than her character, and you're almost startled. She's not at all like Precious, but in her first performance, she not only understands this character but knows how to make her attract the sympathy of her teacher, the social worker -- and ourselves. I don't know how she does it but there you are.
