A travelogue of the Johnson family in the Outer Banks of North Carolina

Men are increasingly disparaged in our culture, in sitcoms, in court, and even in their homes. The proliferation of single-parent families, primarily headed by women, leaves boys without a dad in the home. This ongoing trend is nothing new; in fact, the effects of the trend are now easily identified in the lives of boys who are becoming men. In general, children from fatherless homes have an exponentially higher rate of suicide, behavioral disorders, dropout rate, and criminal behavior. More than forty percent of children do not live with their fathers and this does not bode well, especially for boys. Conversely, having a father in the picture, especially an involved one, is good for kids: they tend to be smarter, have better psychological health, do better in school, and get better jobs. Dr. Scott Johnson says we have adopted a ''sitcom mentality.'' In his book, A Father to for Our Father: The Foundation for a Flourishing Family, Johnson explains that we expect instant results, believing everything can be fixed in thirty minutes. He says, ''Few are fighting to keep it together anymore. If a husband or wife hit a hard spot in their marriage, then they simply replace partners.'' Johnson explains how it has become easier for us to escape from our relationships rather than fight to solidify them and endure the trial of reconciliation. The big losers in the narcissistic spiral toward relationship failure are children. Few boys without fathers in the home have any idea what it means to persevere through hardship, treat women with respect, or develop an attitude of tenacity that will carry them in work, relationships, and sports. ''We must establish accountability and hold ourselves to a higher standard,'' says Johnson.''The government is not going to do it. The schools can''t do it. And the church hasn''t done it yet. If it does not start with you, then it will end with your children.'' He encourages fathers to step up and see their roles within the family or with their children as a pathway to wholeness. ''Your home will be either a kingdom of order or a kingdom of chaos,'' he explains and ''Any problem within a home is a family problem.'' While Johnson sees the challenges, he is also an encourager. ''Positive change,'' he says, ''always takes work but the results are contagious.''

He ran from her, and was never seen again. Will disappeared through the portal, and they have no way to get him back. That was not how the story would end. Kim has to find him, but the portal is destroyed and nobody knows how to build a new one. They have to go back to basics by experimenting with dimensions, with physics... With her. Because, somehow, Kim''s special abilities are tied into the technology that created the portal. Mike has theories she doesn''t trust. Tonya has ideas she doesn''t understand. Spencer has tech that''s held together with bailing wire and duct tape. But Kim doesn''t have a choice. They have to get Will back. Meanwhile, on the other side of the galaxy, a brand-new D-ship pilot is waiting anxiously for her captain to return.

"On a very old winter night, Jacqueline (Jackie for short), was born to the proud parents of Ruth Green and Matt Jones," and on this very cold winter night, the story begins. In a small rural town in Savannah, Georgia lives the Jones family. At first glance, they appear to be a strong, faithful group, despite their almost constant struggle with poverty. It appeared that this family was netted together with love. About a year after the birth of Jackie something happened that caused Ruth to be afraid to say anything. But, when she decided to talk all her fears became a reality. The love of her life, her fiancé Matt walked out on her. Falling into despair, she begins to wonder if she would be able to find the strength she needed to move forward. A Candle Beneath My Bed is not merely a thread of a young girl''s earliest memories but it provides a heartwarming story that rekindles our faith in family and sheds new light on the things that matter most.

"We''ve been facing a critical tipping point in Florida''s property insurance market. Scott''s detailed examination and informative reporting led to comprehensive reform that will benefit consumers in a big way. I believe Florida is on its'' way to recovery and applaud Scott for his tireless work in illuminating the issue so thoroughly and articulately." Senator Jim Boyd, Chairman Senate Banking and Insurance Committee "Scott''s detailed and informative chronicles brought needed visibility--impacting critical legislation that benefited consumers and the industry. I was amazed at the documentation and depth he provided of the Strems case, every step of the way. I was always anxious to read each new chapter." Barry Gilway, former President & CEO, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation "There is no doubt the reform actions taken by the Legislature will be effective in resolving the myriad of issues Scott identified. Though the accomplishments may happen later than they should, hopefully not too late to prevent a collapse of the industry. I am glad Scott documented this journey for others to learn and make the difficult decisions." Senator Doug Broxson, Chairman Senate Appropriations Committee

Randy always thought life in Puyallup was fast-paced, but nothing compared to the adventures that awaited him beyond the city limits. With his loyal dog, Kripto, and his eccentric best friend, Shooby, by his side, he balanced the chaos of city life with the thrill of intergalactic escapades. By day, they navigated the bustling streets, dodging traffic, and chasing dreams, but by night, they soared through the cosmos in their one-of-a-kind Atwater, a space-aging SUV that doubled as their spacecraft. From neon-lit alleyways to the vast, uncharted regions of deep space, the trio found themselves tangled in high-stakes chases, mysterious encounters, and secrets that could change everything they thought they knew about their world-and the universe beyond. But as they ventured further into the unknown, Randy began to question his own past, his connection to the legendary White House Keeper, and the role he was destined to play in an unfolding cosmic battle. In a story blending urban grit with sci-fi wonder, The White House Keeper is a thrilling ride through city streets and star systems, where friendship, loyalty, and destiny collide in ways no one could have predicted.

The study captures the results of a CSAF directed analysis on USAF command and control (C2). The study examined Air Force C2 in seven cases covering the spectrum of conflict to determine whether doctrine and organizational structures require change to fit uncertain and dynamic future scenarios. The study''s results showed that USAF C2 design must change in order to increase its adaptability. An overall goal for adaptive C2 is offered along with six questions to aid a commander in creating adaptable C2 structures. The goal of adaptive C2 is to achieve unity of effort through integration at the appropriate organizational level, enabling agility and speed of action in delivering effects. The six questions address the following issues: the nature of an operation, available resources, capabilities of subordinate units, degree of trust and confidence, political risk, and the need to exploit interaction among the speed, range, flexibility, versatility, and battlespace perspective of Air Force capabilities.
