The Columbia River Crossing is critical to our region, and we cannot let this opportunity to build a bridge to our future slip away. Business and labor on both sides of the Columbia support an Oregon-led option now being considered by the Oregon Legislature.
The proposed bridge height is the right choice for the majority of citizens and businesses in both states. For those of us who need a higher bridge clearance, mitigation allows investment to preserve our businesses and save family-wage manufacturing jobs.
We need a new and safer bridge now. There is no logical reason to wait. Redesign will yield no real significant difference and the cost will only increase. At almost 100 years old, the existing Interstate Bridge has served its purpose.
The opportunity for federal funding and commitment from Washington, D.C., may not come again for decades.
Thompson Metal Fab has consistently voiced the need for the CRC with appropriate mitigation. Now is the time to support the Oregon-led effort to build the Columbia River Crossing.
John B. Rudi
Rudi is president of Thompson Metal Fab.
Unless Oregon agrees to build it alone and carry most of the burden, or legislators in Washington come to their senses soon, our bridge is lost.
Don't forget that the CRC design was a compromise, developed and reviewed over several years through an extensive public process involving citizens of both states.
Most troubling has been the arrogance of a few local elected officials who maneuvered to make the bridge a partisan issue, causing its funding to fail in the Washington State Legislature (although the House approved it).
We need now to support Oregon's effort to build the bridge on its own by contacting the governors and local legislators in both states. For if we fail now, we face gridlock and 20 to 25 years of economic devastation.
Ed Lynch
All the best management in the world could not have turned this CRC turkey into a swan.
Jack Bookwalter
Northeast Portland
I agree that a new bridge needs to be built, but it can be done in a different way than has been proposed. One comment that I read was to put a tunnel under the river. I think that this can be done in such way that would be a beautiful site for both sides of the river and would solve the shipping problem.
Vancouver could use this area as a new park, refurbish the downtown area and make it more user-friendly, as well as get new businesses to invest to make Vancouver a place to go to. Portland could also refurbish the area as a park on this side of the river and with new investment make North Portland sing.
Just some thoughts to consider.
Ted Adams
Instead of wasting millions or billions of dollars on a bridge that might never be built, why not use a much smaller portion of this money to assist Clark County to bring better-paying jobs to the area. Keeping more people in Clark County will greatly reduce traffic volumes on both bridges. Portland and the surrounding suburbs won't suffer economy-wise, and both areas will flourish.
Also, why route all traffic through Portland? Why not build a bypass bridge, say from Troutdalecross to Camas, that connects Interstate 84 to State Route 14? Or from Ridgefield to U.S. 30?

I am not sure but I believe that infammation does cause your skin to burn more easily. Gluten grains are inflammatory!
Hi everyone. I don't know if this is really the proper forum to ask for this kind of advice but everyone here seems so knowledgeable that I thought I'd give it a go. One of my best friends has had skin cancer at the age of 26. She didn't used to go to tanning booths or tan in excessive amounts in the summer - it just appeared one day. Luckily they caught it very early, removed the affected tissue and she was fine. However occasionally potentially cancerous (I don't know if I'm using the correct terminology here) spots appear on her skin and have to get removed again. She has to constantly check her skin for trouble spots. The situation is both scary and horribly inconvenient - she had another operation recently and she is not allowed to go out into sunlight without covering up, carrying an umbrella, wearing a hat and +70 SPF.
I was wondering if anybody would have any advice for supplements or dietary changes that might help. I know it's a long shot but there is obviously something still wrong in her body since new spots keep appearing... She follows a half-primal diet already as she has celiac disease and lactose intolerance. Her husband is Italian so they only cook with olive oil and occasionally butter in their house, never seed oils. She does however eat plenty of non-gluten grains and sugar. It seems to me like the frequent cancerous spots could be a result of inflammation but then what do I know.
Thanks for reading, I'm grateful for any suggestions

Find me at aToadontheRoad.com. Cheers!
What type of skin cancer was it?
Dr. A. Bernard Ackerman and his team study tens of thousands of skin specimens a year. He believes that basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma are indeed caused by sun, but melanoma doesn't look like it is caused in the same way.
My brother in law died of melanoma last May (about a year ago) and he NEVER went in the sun. His mom told me he had a sunburn once when he was about 5 and never had another one that she knew about.
People too weak to follow their own dreams will always try to discourage others.
Low, low carb and lots of vitamin D. Vitamin D is known to be protectant of UV damage in addition to all the other amazing things it does and a low carb diet leads to less inflammation like Toad said. From what I've seen already, even with myself, people really underestimate the amount of carbs they eat. I feel the best when I'm under 50g a day. When it comes to cancer, I'd give something like a pure primal diet a shot if it even had a chance of working.
My Paleo Project:
at this link - Iodine Cures, about iodine
From my own clinical experience, repeated application of iodine (Lugol's) to the skin appears to cause regeneration of the skin from the bottom up (Quiescent, stable or stem cell) (3) eventually sloughing the old version of the skin off like a snake molting. If there was a pre-cancerous lesion on the old skin, it is replaced with new skin minus the lesion. There does not seem to be any skin lesions which are not helped or cured by this procedure. In some cases I found clinically obvious low thyroid conditions also needed to be treated to be more effective. Minor lacerations and healing of surgical wounds respond well. If skin regeneration is from the bottom, then there is little or no scar formation.
All pre-malignant lesions and many other oddities of the skin appear to respond to this regeneration process triggered by topical iodine. I have mentioned previously a patient with a biopsy-proven breast cancer lesion (she refused surgery because of previous cancer treatment) that was strongly fixed to the skin responding well to topical iodine and ended up being a dimple on the breast three year later. (6)
It is my belief a water solution of iodine (like Lugol's) is an important therapeutic agent for skin. Because of its effectiveness and the results, perhaps many skin diseases are related to local tissue areas of relative iodine deficiency. Perhaps the most graphic lesions are the "keloid" (worm) incision scars formed after surgical procedures. If the iodine intake and tissue levels are adequate, such as in Japan, keloid formation doesn't happen (7). In addition, iodine's ability to trigger natural cell death (apoptosis) (5) makes it effective against all pre-cancerous skin lesions and likely many cancerous lesions. The local site is replaced with normal skin. However, even lesser doses of topical iodine seem to reverse the ominous appearance of skin lesions. Because my older brother died of metastatic melanoma, my chances of getting a malignant melanoma are increased by 400 times. (8-9) Having grown up in Venezuela near the equator my sun exposure at a young age was far above normal. So all suspicious lesions I notice are returned to normal with topical Lugol's."

Hi Ajax
I would be the first to say I do not know a lot. But she needs to start asking her doctor lots of questions. What type is it? There are 3 types of skin cancer as said above. Does he have an opinion\idea as to what he thinks these pre cancerous cells will turn into?
I would imagine getting operated on would be stressful and scarring as well. My understanding here is that there is now a cream that is prescribed, that knocks it off pretty quickly. A friend was prescribed the ointment in Germany. I do not know the name but I can find out for you. I am sure it is not primal but it could help while she is making changes.
I think you are on the right track regarding dietary changes and when you read your post it really does not sound like to much sun exposure, so then other areas have to be looked at.
She needs to sit down and write all her questions, and make sure the doctor has a serious discussion with her, so she, husband and you can get a grip and really start looking for solutions.
Please report back.
"Trust me, you will soon enter a magical land full of delicious steakflowers, with butterbacons fluttering around over the extremely rompable grass and hillsides."
where do you buy Lugols? Drugstore? Health food store? Vitamin shop?suspicious lesions I notice are returned to normal with topical Lugol's."
I tend to form keloid scars so this is of interest to me, epecially since I will be having surgery next month.
I had stage 1 melanoma 3 years ago and i go to the doc once or twice a year to get looked over for cancer. . . it's fairly scarry stuff. I take 4000iu of D a day, not sure if it helps but i hope so . . i still cover up when going outside but i try not to use sunblock
Starting Weight : 338lbs 6/11/2010

Goal: ????
I'm pale complexion and usually burn within 30 minutes out in the sun. I'm talking blister burning, but since I've been supplementing with 10,000IU D3 (Just upped it to 15,000IU) I can be out without sunblock for up to 3 hours with minimal burning and peeling.
We discussed the affects of vitamin D in another thread and several others replied that they are less damaged by the sun. Vitamin D is a strong hormone that regulates everything from cholesterol to inflammation.
Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

First, congrats. to all of the winners. I loved all of them and it was very hard to judge-really, really hard.
So, those of you who are 'regulars' at judging contests will probably find this a little silly…but here's what I did.
1. I read each one and indicated the "good poems" so I could move on to round 3.
2. For round 3, I copy/pasted and formatted every poem to be able to print each poem on its own sheet.
3. Next, I wrote out numbers on bright cardboard and labeled each 1-10 and then a category for HM.
4. Then, I re-read all of the poems and ranked them to which place I felt they should receive. It was great, I had numbers and poems sprawled all over my living room!
5. Next, I decided to read them all out loud to my husband. He liked most of them but felt many were "too long"-LOL! He's a guy that pretty much only watches ESPN highlights, though, so don't take it personally I did listen to his input and rearranged a few.
6. After that, input the ranking into the computer.
7. I then checked them over twice…and you will see the list of winners on the 'official' contest results page.
I hope I become more efficient at this someday
It was my first contest, so if you think you (or someone else) deserved a higher place, you may be right. I did try hard (and judged blindly) and I will only get better with time…so please have mercy J.
So, join my next contest, will ya?
It will be about things that other people do that drive you crazy. I'm sure you catch yourself saying, "What is he or she thinking?" An example would be the girls at my gym who bring cell phones into the sauna. Really?
Again, thanks to all that entered and congratulations!!!

Given how easily

nugget "Little Sister," it's a wonder it took him 11 years to record an album of covers.

interprets everyone from
Roy Orbison
the Clash
the Beatles
Danny O'Keefe
, often radically reworking these genuine enduring classics of popular music to bring out the hidden meanings rather than remake them in his own image, the near bluegrass version of "Train in Vain" being a prime example. The
tune that opens the album, "Claudette," rocks with a country swagger the original never had and feels like more of a celebratory tome to a third party than it does a love song. The Kinks tune "Tired of Waiting for You" is as far from a country song as can be with a full horn section -- and this cut works the least -- and is an oddity but entertaining when heard once.
's "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" is less melodic than the writer's version, but it is far more desolate and haunting. The duet on
Sonny Bono
's "Baby Don't Go" with
Sheryl Crow
doesn't really work either, because
is not a country singer and there's enough countrypolitan in

NOWCC: Older and Better
NOWCC is celebrating its 14th anniversary and, as is our custom, we find ourselves in an attitude of reflection about where we have been as an organization and where we hope to be in the future.
As with any successful organization today, our race to stay current with technology continues. In an effort to make our servers more secure and electronic communications more efficient, NOWCC has moved to cloud computing. We are also working on a trio of new websites that will provide better sources of information to the Federal Agencies and Enrollees we serve. (Stay tuned for an announcement regarding their roll out sometime in the early part of 2012.)
However, as essential as electronic communications are to any organization, it is not the latest and greatest in computers that make us successful. It is the synergy of talented people that propels us. It is the Agencies that support NOWCC programs; the very talented and skilled older workers who form the backbone of NOWCC; our committed Board Members who offer invaluable guidance; and the knowledgeable and forward thinking NOWCC staff members who provide the connective tissue to make the programs work.

Hello! Welcome to the HST Operations Control Center at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. I'd like to take this opportunity to give you a brief description of my role as a member of the HST Team and a little background that led me to a career in the Aerospace Industry. I joined the HST Team one year before the First Servicing Mission as a Pointing Control Flight System Engineer. My current position is the Pointing Control System (PCS) lead engineer. I am also the supervisor of the Pointing Control, Safing, and Optical Telescope Assembly subsystem engineering groups.
My team of engineers along with the flight controllers are primarily responsible for three things: 1) Ensuring the health and safety of the pointing control subsystem, including the monitoring of flight hardware used for attitude reference and control, 2) Verifying and evaluating the safing system necessary to safeguard the vehicle and science payload, and 3) Ensuring that the optical telescope assembly and fine guidance sensors are performing correctly.
My interest in aerospace can be dated back to when I was a young child growing up in San Diego with my brother and three sisters. I remember the first models my brother and I ever built--Kenny put together a model of the Mercury capsule, and I put together a Gemini capsule. Another thing we liked to do is share in all the fun of building things, even if it meant getting into trouble for using our dad's brand new tools before he even had a chance. Kenny went on to develop his talents in carpentry, and I went on to pursue my interest in aerospace.
When it was time to enter college, I wanted to learn more about how airplanes and spaceships defy gravity. I first attended a community college, where I finished a two-year degree program in Aeronautics and Air Traffic Control. During those two years I also was involved with Civil Air Patrol Search and Rescue. I never got to be part of an actual rescue, but I did get to log plenty of flight time in the back seat during training flights.
Instead of going ahead with tackling the pressure of directing airplane traffic, I decided to see if I could handle the pressure of hitting aerospace engineering textbooks. It took me 6 years while working part time, but I finally earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aerospace Engineering. I was most inspired to finish college by my father, who only had an 8th grade education when he left Guam to join the US NAVY during World War II. While I studied to finish college, he studied to earn his high school diploma. I later went on to obtain my Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Control Systems.
In 1981 I joined Lockheed Missile and Space Co. in Sunnyvale, California, where I have been involved with spacecraft programs throughout my career. In 1993 I welcomed the opportunity to work on my first NASA program on the HST Team. My experience on HST has been very rewarding and a tremendous experience I have been able to share with my wife, Laure, and our three children -- Travis (8), Ford (6), and Taryn (3). As a Cub Scout den leader for the past two years, I have enjoyed sharing first hand HST experiences with young children by taking them on field trips to NASA. Scouting tries to foster a sense of personal achievement for these future scientists and engineers by developing new interests and skills. Most of all, they have fun and get to experience exciting new things.
When I'm not working at NASA or busy with Scout activities, I can usually be found working on one of many fix-it jobs around my house. My three kids make eager assistants. No matter the outcome of the project, they get a lot of satisfaction and reward just being part of the team.

We appreciate Dr. Ventres' support of our suggestions to integrate electronic health records (EHRs) into medical education and training. Although today's medical students are technologically savvy, many still struggle to optimize patient–doctor communication while integrating EHRs into a clinical setting. This is why we feel it's particularly important to create and evaluate curricula to teach communication strategies that enable learners to integrate EHRs into patient encounters in ways that foster relationships and effective communication. Dr. Ventres' own superb research brings many of these suggestions and questions into focus.
With regard to his question about whether the vendors of EHRs have any responsibility to train physicians how best to use their products, however, we would reply that it should be the other way around. Vendors should work with physicians, members of their support staff, and patients to shape the design of EHRs in ways that do not disrupt patient–doctor interactions but instead allow physicians to include the patient's narrative and their clinical reasoning in place of prefabricated templates.

What is Curricular Practical Training (CPT)?
The Immigration Service defines "curricular practical training" as employment which is an integral part of your curriculum, including "…alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum which is offered by sponsoring employers through cooperative agreements with the school."
At the University of Bridgeport, the terms "co-op", "internship", and "field experience" are used to describe opportunities for Curricular Practical Training.
What types of jobs qualify for CPT (both paid and unpaid)?

Can I have both CPT and on-campus job?
- No. As per UB's institutional policy, you may not accept any on-campus job during CPT.
How long may I participate in CPT?
- The length of CPT will be governed by the nature of the training and the requirements of your program for internship/co-op as published in the UB catalog.
- If you participate in full-time CPT for twelve months or more, you will not be eligible for Optional Practical Training.
Do I pay Social Security and other taxes?

Immigrants to Canada face a hard time I'm an immigrant - my parents came here when I was young, so this one I can vouch for personally. A recent survey of immigrants to Canada by Statistics Canada shows that it just about sucks to be one. The biggest conclusion for me is that finally, there are numbers to prove what immigrants have been saying for a long time - their qualifications are usually dismissed by Canadians, and they find themselves in entry level jobs in sales or general labour. Alarmingly, over half the immigrants surveyed, did not find jobs in the same field after immigration ... which goes against the work our foreign embassies do to get certain skills into Canada. The survey looked at other aspects of immigrant lives, such as where they moved to in Canada, what kind of help they got, what education they brought, etc. The conclusion states that "starting life over in a new country is not always easy." NSS. Read the brief for yourself, it's available online.

The San Antonio Spurs 2013-14 title run was a testament to the value of unheralded virtues like teamwork and passing, a reminder that teams can win in this league without a trio of superstars in the primes of their careers.
It was also a compelling argument on behalf of depth.
Not only did head coach Gregg Popovich's egalitarian distribution of minutes preserve his best players for the postseason—it also gave everyone else a chance to grow.
"It also does develop the bench, give them some confidence to play," Popovich said of his rotation strategy, per NBA.com's Jeff Caplan. "And hopefully in the end when playoff time comes, sometimes it's a role player that steps up in a certain game and has a heck of a night and helps you."
Indeed, player development can turn an unspectacular collection of names into a well-oiled machine seemingly overnight.
But talent plays an important role, too. The Spurs had plenty of that, as well, even if it was often in the form of uncelebrated role players like Boris Diaw or Patty Mills.
The importance of second units is nothing new, even if they're receiving unprecedented spotlight in the wake of San Antonio's lopsided Finals victory. It's often the depth of a team's rotation that sets it apart from other playoff-bound competition.
Here are five teams who've successfully operated with that principle in mind, positioning themselves as the deepest threats of the 2014-15 season.

Catholic Health Australia (CHA) has welcomed Tanya Plibersek's appointment as Health Minister and the retention of Minister for Ageing Mark Butler, now with a seat at the Cabinet table, as part of the Gillard Government's Cabinet reshuffle this week
"Minister Plibersek is someone Catholic Health Australia has had a strong working relationship with over recent years," CHA Chief Executive Martin Laverty said.
"She has shown a strong commitment to social justice and recognises the need to address the social determinants of health as Australia seeks to find the best use of health dollars that are always too few to meet the country's health needs."
CHA also commended Prime Minister Julia Gillard on bringing the Minister for Ageing to the Cabinet table.
"The elevation of this portfolio by the Prime Minister reflects the increased interest in and importance of aged care moving into the future," Mr Laverty said.
"The number of older Australians as a proportion of the population is going to increase dramatically in the next 20 or 30 years and Ms Gillard's move today shows she recognises that."
Mr Laverty said the expanded workload of Mr Butler is also a good omen for aged care reform.
"The fact that Minister Butler is also now in charge of the social inclusion portfolio is another positive aspect of this week's reshuffle. Older Australians are often some of the people who suffer most from social exclusion, so having these two areas so closely linked is pleasing," Mr Laverty said.
"The changes to the Cabinet have laid the foundation for what looks set to be an important year – for aged care reform, in particular – in 2012. We look forward to continuing our close and cordial relationship with Minister Butler as the Productivity Commission's proposed reforms of the sector continue to be considered."
Mr Laverty also recognised the significant contribution outgoing Health Minister Nicola Roxon made in that portfolio over the past four years and wished her well in her new role as Attorney-General.

SeaWolves stumble, settle for series split
The Erie SeaWolves struggled with the Trenton bullpen throughout their four-game series this weekend.
The Thunder bullpen tossed three more shutout innings Sunday to secure a series split.
Trenton jumped to a four-run lead behind two long home runs, and the bullpen made those runs stand up as the Thunder held off the SeaWolves 4-2 in front of 1,462 fans at Jerry Uht Park.
"They pitched well and we have guys that we have a lot of faith in," Trenton manager Tony Franklin said about the bullpen. "We have guys that can pitch multiple innings and some specialists. We have a pretty good staff in the 'pen and every team needs that bridge between the starters and the back end."
In four games against Erie, the Trenton bullpen threw 112/3 innings, allowing three hits, one run, three walks, six strikeouts and two saves with one loss.
The SeaWolves (4-5) needed one more rally against the Thunder (5-5) on Sunday to win the series, but Erie came up short after scoring two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Trailing 4-0, Eugenio Suarez ripped a double down the left field line, his fourth double and seventh extra-base hit of the season.
"He's also lined out a few times," said Erie manager Lance Parrish about Suarez's hot start. "He's a player, no question about that. What I like about him is he just plays the game. He's free and easy and it's obvious he's having fun out there. If a few more of those liners fall in, he'd really be looking good right now."
Aaron Westlake, who made another highlight-reel defensive play at first base, and Wade Gaynor also doubled to cut the deficit to 4-2. Dean Green grounded into a double play to end the inning, which was the last serious scoring threat for the SeaWolves.
Over the final four innings, Erie hitters were 1-for-13 with a Ramon Cabrera single as the only hit.
Cabrera finished with two hits as the Thunder pitching staff put together another big performance.
"We won the first series in Altoona and were whooped up on a little in Binghamton," Parrish said. "I thought maybe we could win (Sunday) and take two of the first three series, but 4-5 isn't bad. It's early and we have a chance to do some things this year. All we need to do is swing the bats a little more consistently and we'll be where we want to be at."
Kyle Roller was injured coming out of spring training and finally made his way to the Trenton roster on Sunday. He returned with a thunderous opposite-field, three-run home run on the first pitch he saw in the top of the first inning against Wilsen Palacios.
"Kyle just got here and that's a pretty good way to reintroduce yourself," Franklin said. "He jumped on the first pitch he saw and it worked out really well for us and it turned out to be a big blow in the game."
Mason Williams, the No. 2 prospect in the New York Yankees' organization according to MLB.com, followed in the third inning with a solo home run to right field that easily cleared Holland Street.

Dual Ownership, Returns, and Voting in Mergers

Finance Down Under 2014 Building on the Best from the Cellars of Finance
We document that in M&As a significant proportion of targets' equity is owned by financial institutions that simultaneously own targets' bonds ("dual holders"). Targets with larger equity ownership by dual holders have lower M&A equity premia and larger abnormal bond returns, particularly when dual holders stand to benefit more from appreciation of their bond stakes, e.g., when their bond ownership in the target is large and the target credit rating is non-investment grade. Dual holders are more likely to vote in favor of the merger proposal. Our results suggest the presence of coordination of decisions within dual holding financial conglomerates in M&A targets.

WASHINGTON - At last year's Conservative Political Action Conference, activists were chasing the idea that some dreamboat Republican they could fall for - Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, perhaps, or maybe New Jersey Gov. Christie or former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin or that dashing young Rep. Paul Ryan - would make quick work of President Obama.
Flash forward to 2012.
Their wish never materialized. Instead, the GOP primary is increasingly bitter, with candidates whom many conservative activists consider flawed - a surprisingly muddled picture just nine months till Election Day. There is quiet, persistent talk of a brokered convention in Tampa, Fla.

Gregory S. Johnson made a career out of serving in the military before becoming a minister.
Johnson is the new pastor at Second Avenue United Methodist Church, 130 Second Ave.
His Army service in the medical field indirectly led to a midlife change in career paths.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski) Gregory S. Johnson is the new pastor at Second Avenue United Methodist Church where services are held at 5:30 p.m. Saturdays and 8:15 and 10:45 a.m. Sundays. For more information, visit www.2ndaveumc.org.
After graduating from Dobbins High School in Philadelphia in 1973, Johnson joined the Army in 1975.
He started as a private and eventually became a staff sargent, a warrant officer and then a commissioned officer.
He retired in 1996 as a physician assistant and served the State Correctional Institute at Camp Hill in that capacity.
Fact Box
Johnson file
Name: Gregory S. Johnson
Age: 56
Family: Wife, Sheri; three adult children, Nathanael of San Antonio, Jasmine Woodson of Philadelphia and Desiree of Indiana, Pa.
Hometown: Philadelphia
Education: Bachelor of Science degree from Oklahoma University in 1990 and Master of Divinity from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2004.
Military service: Served from 1975-96. Retired as a captain, serving as a physician's assistant.
Previous pulpits served: Zion United Methodist in York, three years, and these United Methodist churches in Williamsport: DuBoistown-Sojourner Truth, four years; Newberry-DuBoistown, a year; Newberry, four years.
Years in ministry: 12
Johnson said one of his jobs was to give physicals to new inmates. He said during a two-week period in 1998, he gave exams to 10 15-year-old boys who had been tried as adults.
He said at that time, judges sentenced the young men to adult prisons for crimes involving a weapon or dealing in drugs.
Often, teens would refuse to divulge their suppliers or the drug lords, leaving the courts with no alternative but to let them accept the punishment, Johnson said.
"They were the ones that got caught with the stuff," he said.
It was seeing those boys being incarcerated that made Johnson change careers.
"I couldn't do anything for them, but maybe I could help to keep someone else from going there," he said.
The Mirror asked him the following questions about his work:
What inspired you to become a pastor?
God's call while working as a physician assistant in the State Correctional Institute at Camp Hill, the recommendation and support of the church, but mostly Jesus.
What is your favorite Scripture and why?
"You should love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind." Matthew 22:37
The verse is meaningful to me because I believe the Holy Spirit gave it to me as a lifelong passage. It has recurrently served to encourage, comfort, correct and sustain me since 1980.
What are your talents/spiritual gifts?
I love to preach and share Jesus with people. I can see God in most anything or any circumstances. I am enthusiastic about the faith.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The outstanding people of Second Avenue United Methodist Church and the people we live and work with in the community.
The greatest joy comes when folks let the light of Jesus shine through them, especially on their own beyond my help.
What are your
Reading Scriptures and rooting for the four professional Philadelphia sports teams (Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and Sixers). I also love to play sports.

My wife and I have been playing around on Redfin and visiting a few open houses each week. We aren't really actively looking for a new home but we find the exercise to be valuable. By visiting open houses, we get a better idea for how much house we can buy, what we like and dislike about various houses, and a look at how life might be in a larger home. Most of the homes we look at are within 15 minutes of where we live now, since we love the area, and we only go to the homes that have open houses.
When it comes to open houses, there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Since I've never had an open house, I don't know what or how much advice real estate agents give but there is tremendous variance in the quality of an open house. Having gone to at least a dozen, here are a few ideas for those of you looking to hold an open house.
Staging Is Crucial
Homes are meant to be lived in and it's strange when we walk into a home that is completely empty. Staging of some kind is usually a good idea and I imagine it's standard advice from real estate agents. On the other side of the spectrum, you don't want the house to be messy. You want a desk in the study but you don't want it covered in papers like the owner just got up while preparing his or her taxes. That happy medium in between lets me, the buyer, know how the room might be used without feeling like I'm looking over someone's shoulder.
Clean Up
Cleaning up is a must. When we bought our house six years ago, you could get away with murder because the housing market was insane. We visited homes that had their laundry hamper still sitting in the living room (with unfolded clothes). You can't possibly do that now with home demand at such lows. Cleaning up your home so that it doesn't feel like the owner was just there is a must. This goes for inside and outside the house. Trim the hedges, clear away leaves, and do the little things that add to that curb appeal.
Remove Clutter
If you're still living in the house, reduce the clutter to get away from the "the owner is hiding in the closet" feeling that you get when a house looked too lived in. It may make sense for you to rent some storage space or secure a place in the garage just to store these items. While you're at it, take down your photos and replace them with some generic prints. You want me to feel like this could by my house… and my house doesn't have any pictures of you in it. 🙂
Don't Be There
I find it weird when we go to an open house and the owner is there. The open houses are usually scheduled for two hours (at least around us) and if you're there then I feel awkward poking around in your stuff. I know I shouldn't but I do. It's best if you make yourself scarce. If you think visitors will have questions, you can print out flyers that answer many of the questions we may have (electricity bill, schools, etc.). It's better this way!
Bake Cookies, Skip Candles
I've heard that real estate agents advise owners that scents can set the mood in a house. If you're going to do this, be real about it. Actually bake cookies (and leave them out!), don't cheat and buy candles. My wife is sensitive to scents and there are some that give her headaches… and she's not the only one this happens to. The chemicals they use to make fake chocolate cookies is probably not good for you anyway.
Offers Booties
Booties are those little paper-like sleeves that I can put over my shoes, for those times you're afraid visitors will track mud everywhere. It's just a nice option that I appreciate. I personally don't care about taking off my shoes but I like it when owners give me a choice in the matter.
Finally, make sure you provide as much information as possible about your home to any prospective buyers. The MLS listing isn't designed for a layperson to read and understand so print up some brochures or flyers that people can take with them. I've been astounded how little preparation and photography takes place for a multi-hundred thousand dollar purchase. If I'm not seriously interested, I can decline the extra paper but give me the option so I don't struggle to remember your house later.
Do you have any good open house ideas?

ECLAC, GIZ to Implement Joint Programme on Low-Carbon Growth and Social Cohesion
3 October 2012: The UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the German International Development Agency (GIZ) have signed the implementing contract for a two-year, €4,725,000 cooperation programme on low-carbon economic growth and social cohesion in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), which was agreed by ECLAC and Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in November 2011.
The implementing contract was signed on 3 October 2012, in Santiago, Chile, by ECLAC Executive Secretary Alicia Bárcena and the Director of GIZ's South America Department, Sabine Muller.
BMZ and ECLAC signed an agreement launching the programme on 18 November 2011. It began operating on 1 July 2012 and will run through 30 June 2014. The implementing contract sets out the activities covered by the programme, consisting of two components and six projects.
One programme component, "Climate change: opportunities for low-carbon development paths," has four projects: REDD (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries) and low-carbon development paths; fiscal policy and climate change; "innovation in the context of climate change: development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)"; and sustainable energy.
The second programme component, "The new relationship between State, market and society for equality and environmental sustainability," has two components: "fiscal covenant for growth and equality" and "social covenant for more inclusive social protection."

My golden haloed angel baby, nothing will ever rival the pleasure I get from standing here next to you, basking in your feminine glow. Just this morning I was embracing you in my pirate arms, kissing every womanly inch of you as you helped me apply my eye liner. I'm so proud of you. Few have managed to become the timeless comedy icon you are while still managing to keep dudes like me on our toes, wondering if and when they will ever be able to wife you up. Darling beauty, you have accomplished so much and all of it looking as sexy as you do. You deserve more than a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, you deserve all the stars in the sky, a thousand puppies wrapped in bows, a tender hot oil massage– oh wait, this is getting a little personal. And there's a drawing, there's children here so I'm just gonna skip the rest of this. Alright, this is a long speech. Goddess, blah blah blah. Perfect in every way, blah blah blah. Body that won't quit, okay, let's get to the end. You're a really good dancer and even better driver. You are the Jack to my Sparrow, the Gilbert to my Grape, the Whitey to my Bulger. Oh, and don't forget to blow off Rashida for coffee tomorrow. In closing, there's really nothing this woman can't do. I love her, please marry me. And from me, personally, Amy Poehler, congratulations. My dear friend, you have the unique combination of boundless talent and unwavering integrity. I am very lucky to know you, you are the real deal, I love you.
