This report presents a construct for reorganizing Air Force acquisition and purchasing activities by implementing purchasing and supply management. This report presents a construct for reorganizing Air Force acquisition and purchasing activities using purchasing and supply management (PSM). PSM involves managing not only suppliers but the entire supply network. A PSM demonst ration was chartered and eight initiatives were targeted to help modernize the spares process and ultimately put more spares into the hands of maintainers. The report presents a flexible, springboard design to guide implementation of the process.

In September 2002, RAND contracted with the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to serve as the evaluation center for its national patient safety initiative. This report assesses the context and goals that were the foundation for the initiative, documents the baseline status of the activities being undertaken, and identifies priorities the researchers believe will have the strongest positive impact on the future of AHRQ's patient safety initiative.

"These days, when popular religious movements are enthusiastic rather than reflective, it is particularly helpful for students to be given better ways of grasping the significance and strengths of their own beliefs. Nancey Murphy's new book presents the methods of contemporary argumentation analysis in a way that helps readers develop habits of critical reading and thinking that serve them well not only in religion, but in other fields of experience and action. At one and the same time easy to read, and deep in its implications, her book is something of a tour de force."Stephen Toulmin, author of The Uses of Argument
Rewired begins with the claim that contemporary views of Christian spirituality, particularly in the American evangelical tradition, concentrate too exclusively on the interior and individual nature of spiritual experience. Paul Markham argues that a reexamination of the doctrine of religious conversion is needed within American evangelicalism and finds resources for such a model in the Wesleyan theological tradition and from philosophical and scientific insights into a ""nonreductive physicalist"" view of human nature. In considering ""data"" from theology and science, this book represents an integrated work in science and religion. ""The amazing thing about the human nervous system is its plasticity--it is readily 'rewired' by experience. Paul Markham offers a view of Christian conversion as an embodied process by which we are constantly and significantly rewired by our participation in a converting community--we are progressively becoming new creatures. In Rewired, Markham helps us hear the resonance between modern scientific views of human nature, biblical Christianity, and Wesleyan practical theology."" --Warren S. Brown Professor of Psychology Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary ""The importance of this new book by Paul Markham lies both in his constructive proposal concerning the nature of Christian conversion and in the process by which he achieves his proposal. Working at the interface of neurophilosophy and Wesleyan theology, he presses for a more fully integrated theological method at the same time that he demonstrates its fruitfulness. The resulting portrait of a fully embodied and ecclesially centered Christian conversion is a welcome contribution to our understanding of spiritual life."" --Joel B. Green, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Fuller Theological Seminary ""This is a timely book--where the question of what it means to be human stands alongside questions of conversion and Christian mission in contemporary culture.Paul Markham brings these questions together with a depth that takes seriously both modern neuroscience and pastoral sensitivity.A book for theologians in the field of science and religion, as well as a book for preachers, evangelists, and pastors."" --David Wilkinson, Principal of St. John's College, University of Durham ""It is frequently assumed by both Christian and non-Christian alike that science must be in conflict with religion and that religious conversion must be a matter of salvation of the 'soul.' Paul Markham's impressive work of interdisciplinary scholarship demonstrates the flaws in both these assumptions, showing how recent writing in cognitive science can be seen to point towards a more biblical picture of human beings and a more holistic understanding of Christian discipleship."" --Robert Song, University of Durham Paul N.
