Background: Before 2008, Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) undertook provincial cancer control quality-improvement initiatives on a programmatic basis. CCO has now added Disease Pathway Management (DPM) to its quality improvement strategy, with the intent of achieving high-quality care, processes, and patient experience across the patient pathway for specific cancers.
Objectives: The three goals of DPM are: to describe and share evidence-based best practice along the cancer continuum for specific cancers; identify quality-improvement priorities for specific cancers and catalyze action; monitor performance against best practice for specific cancers. The objective of this article is to describe the process by which the CCO lung cancer (LC) DPM was initiated and some of its early successes.
Methods: In 2009, LC DPM began with a draft LC disease pathway map and the establishment of five multidisciplinary working groups, each focused on a phase of the LC patient journey: prevention, screening, and early detection; diagnosis; treatment; palliative care, end-of-life care, and survivorship; and patient experience. The working groups held 25 meetings of 2-hour duration and developed concepts for 17 quality-improvement projects across the patient journey. Eight were selected for detailed discussion at a provincial consensus conference, which provided input on priorities for action. A report on the priorities for action was prepared and widely circulated, and regional roadshows were held in all 14 regions of the province of Ontario. Region-specific data on incidence, stage, treatment compliance, and wait times among other issues relevant to LC, were shared with the regional care providers at these roadshows. Funding was provided by CCO to address opportunities for regional improvement based on the data and the priorities identified.
Results: The LC disease pathways were refined through substantial multidisciplinary discussion, and the diagnostic pathway was posted on CCO's Web site in February 2012. The treatment pathways for small-cell LC and non–small-cell LC were posted in November 2012. LC Diagnostic Assessment Units/Programs have been initiated in 14 regions, and educational materials on dyspnea management, including a patient video, are available on CCO's Web site. An audit has been undertaken to better understand the barriers to the uniform uptake of specific evidence-based practices across the province, and the results will be reported shortly. The proportion of LC patients, whose symptoms are assessed at least once a month, using a standardized symptom assessment instrument (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System), has improved through the DPM.
Conclusion: Through CCO's LC DPM initiative, Regional Cancer Programs have become aware of their performance on a range of LC-specific performance and quality metrics and have been motivated to undertake quality-improvement initiatives. Standardized diagnostic and treatment pathways have been developed. Ongoing measurement of a broad range of metrics, including stage-specific survival, guideline concordance, and measures of the patient experience will help determine the benefit of this major initiative.
Lung cancer (LC), a predominantly smoking-related cancer, is a growing global health problem because of its high mortality rate. In Canada, which has a population of only 33 million, it was estimated that there would be 26,500 individuals diagnosed with LC in 2012, and 20,100 deaths.1 In both Canadian men and women, LC is the second-most common cancer after cancer of the prostate and breast. In Ontario, the poor 5-year survival rate of 16% is attributable to the fact that LC typically presents in an advanced stage, with 60% of non–small-cell and 84% of small-cell LCs diagnosed as either stage III or IV.2 The unique stigma associated with LC may also contribute to the poor survival outcomes because patients and their families tend to be less aggressive in seeking optimal care.3
Nevertheless, the picture is not entirely negative. In Ontario, there has been a 20% reduction in the smoking rate of the population from the early 1960s to 2000.4 Clinical trials have demonstrated a dramatic improvement in 5-year survivorship for some stages of surgically resected LC with the use of adjuvant chemotherapy.5 Modest survival improvements have been achieved with combined modality therapy for locally advanced cancer, and quality of life and overall survival have improved with palliative chemotherapy and good supportive care for stage IV LC.6 Advances in molecular oncology have identified subpopulations of patients who derive greater benefit with targeted therapies.7 Recently, evidence has been presented that LC mortality can be reduced with low-dose CT screening.8 Clearly, progress has occurred and more is imminent, but adoption of new approaches tends to be slow and uneven across large jurisdictions.
Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) is the provincial government agency with the mandate to improve the quality of cancer services and ensure that patients in Ontario receive the right care at the right time in the right location by the right care provider, at every step of the cancer journey. To improve quality in Ontario's 14 regional cancer programs, CCO has used a defined performance improvement cycle on a programmatic basis, which includes active clinical engagement and funding levers supported by an integrated clinical/administrative accountability framework.
In 2008, with the support of senior management and the CCO Board of Directors, CCO launched a new approach to quality improvement—Disease Pathway Management (DPM)—designed to complement the existing specialty program-based approach. Besides supporting the mission and mandate of CCO, the goal of DPM is to develop, implement, and evaluate an integrated series of activities aimed at advancing system-wide improvements for a specific cancer type across the continuum of cancer control. Specifically, DPM focuses on ways to improve the quality and processes of care and the patient experience for each type of cancer.
Other jurisdictions have implemented disease-management strategies for quality improvement, with care pathways being the sole driver for quality improvement.9–12 CCO's DPM program is unique in that it incorporates quantitative data from the pathways with qualitative inputs from multidisciplinary group discussions, to identify opportunities for improvement. The LC DPM was launched in 2009. This article describes how the LC DPM initiative was organized, the opportunities for improvement that were identified, and the early successes that have been achieved to date.
Clinical leadership for the DPM initiative was sought from within the Ontario thoracic oncology community, in accordance with CCO's established approach of seeking clinical engagement in quality-improvement initiatives. Invitations were extended to two medical experts, who were the co-leads of the existing provincial LC disease site group, which produces clinical practice guidelines. These individuals had established credibility with their peers through their provincial leadership roles and had a network of care providers who could be engaged for the work.
The LC DPM co-Chairs invited a broad spectrum of multidisciplinary stakeholders from across the province and the cancer continuum to participate in the initiative. In total, 48 individuals agreed to participate, including clinical representatives from primary care, public health, occupational medicine, oncology, and supportive services, as well as patients and caregivers. At an introductory workshop, the participants were organized into four working groups to focus on the separate phases of the patient's journey: prevention and screening/early detection; diagnosis; treatment; palliative care, end-of-life care, and survivorship. In addition, a patient and family advisory group was established. Over the course of 6 months, each multidisciplinary working group was asked to use their experience and the data provided by CCO to identify gaps in service provision and quality-of-care issues, which impacted patient satisfaction. The data that CCO was able to provide on aspects of LC management, included wait times for treatment, concordance of practice with guidelines, LC symptom burden, patient satisfaction, regional LC incidence, and smoking rates. The five working groups met for a total of 50 hours, and generated 17 priorities for action (Priorities).
In addition to identifying the Priorities, the clinical membership of the LC DPM team worked with CCO staff, to develop disease pathway maps (pathways) of recommended diagnostic procedures and treatment approaches for typical small-cell and non–small-cell LC patients. These were based to the extent possible on the practice guidelines developed through the provincial lung disease site group and CCO's Program in Evidence-based Care. Links to the practice guidelines have been embedded in the pathway maps. Wherever evidence was not available, the pathways were informed by expert opinion. The pathways have become an important byproduct of the DPM work because they are now a valuable resource for CCO use in managing the performance of each of the province's regions, planning new quality-improvement activities, promoting best practice, and the use of currently available resources (e.g., guidelines, symptom-management aids). Figure 1 depicts a portion of the lung diagnosis clinical pathway and the integration of best practice guidelines into the pathway. The complete pathway can be viewed on the CCO Web site.13
After identification of the Priorities, a provincial symposium was organized to share the Priorities with a larger LC community and to solicit feedback on how to move forward. Recognizing that it would be impossible to solicit input on all 17 Priorities in a single day, the LC DPM leadership team further prioritized the Priorities list, and identified eight topics to be discussed at the symposium (Table 1).
One hundred fifteen individuals attended the event, including frontline clinical experts involved in the diagnosis and care of LC patients, health care administrators, ministry of health representatives, patients, and caregivers. The interactive and multidisciplinary day yielded fruitful discussions regarding the relative importance of each priority and a set of concrete suggestions on the implementation of the eight Priorities.
A key output of this first phase of the LC DPM initiative was the production of a Priorities report, in which each of the identified Priorities from the working groups was summarized, along with the recommendations for implementation from the provincial symposium.
The second phase of the LC DPM focused on promoting the Priorities agreed on to Ontario's 14 regional cancer programs to catalyze action against them. This included a series of regional engagement sessions, a provincial pilot project, and the provision of provincial funds to each region for the purpose of acting on an initiative of high priority in that particular region.
To share the Priorities more broadly and to catalyze local action, engagement sessions were scheduled in each of Ontario's 14 regional cancer programs. The individuals invited to attend these sessions by each regional cancer program included local diagnostic imaging experts, thoracic surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists, primary-care and palliative medicine physicians, nurses, and those involved in smoking cessation. There was a deliberate focus on multidisciplinary attendance to promote cross-disciplinary discussions on the Priorities and potential actions in each region.
Sessions, led by one of the clinical co-Chairs and the program manager, included a presentation of the regional data covering the cancer control continuum (Table 3). The use of data as a conversation starter proved an effective way to achieve physician engagement. Although the physicians raised issues about the quality of some of the data or the time period it covered, the data were, nonetheless, effective in sparking discussions. Because each region had some areas where they excelled, and some other where there was opportunity for improvement, it was possible to both celebrate successes, and challenge participants to identify strategies for further improvements.
Wherever possible, data specific to the Priorities were presented. For example, data demonstrating a tight correlation between regional smoking rates and LC incidence highlighted the need for smoking-cessation programs, particularly in those areas of the province with the highest smoking rates. Data on the LC symptom burden obtained through a provincial initiative to capture the symptoms of LC patients at regional cancer centers, using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), highlighted the need for dyspnea-management programs (Fig. 2).
When data specific to one of the Priorities were not available, related data were used to segue to the priority issue. For example, wait-time data for the interval from diagnosis to first treatment was used to discuss the patient experience and the need to make improvements in the diagnostic phase of the LC journey.
Throughout the regional presentations, the LC DPM co-Chairs provided anecdotes from their personal experiences in managing LC, and the program manager added information about current quality-improvement activities in LC or other cancers, which were underway within the province to stimulate ideas for local action. At the conclusion of each regional session, the Priorities report was reviewed and copies were left with the participants to stimulate further discussion at the regional level about quality-improvement initiatives.
In addition to the regional engagement sessions, the LC DPM leadership team decided to promote action against the Priority of dyspnea management. This Priority was selected because more than 60% LC patients in Ontario report some level of dyspnea,14 and an evidentiary review demonstrated that minimal nursing intervention is effective in improving LC patients' dyspnea, World Health Organization performance status, and levels of depression.15
CCO held a funding competition and subsequently awarded six cancer centers with funds to develop and implement a 1-year dyspnea-management program. Participating centers were required to create a program that addressed both the biomedical and psychosocial needs of dyspneic patients. Although sites were free to set up dyspnea-management services as considered appropriate, all sites were required to collect and report on ESAS scores, quality of life (measured through the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer instrument), and both pre- and post- enrollment patient satisfaction to evaluate the effectiveness of the various approaches being piloted.
On the basis of the successes achieved in these pilot sites, and current literature on dyspnea management, the DPM is in the process of developing a recommendations report that will promote the implementation of the best dyspnea-management practices. After completion of the report, a workshop will be held to transfer the knowledge obtained during the pilot projects and to provide an opportunity to discuss the successes and challenges encountered. This workshop will encourage further dyspnea-management initiatives, which would improve the quality and consistency of care for LC patients with dyspnea across Ontario.
To further support action against the Priorities, CCO made one-time funding available to each of the regions to undertake sustainable quality-improvement activities against locally relevant Priorities for lung and colorectal cancers. Funding was allocated to the regions using an existing funding transfer mechanism, with the amount of funds allocated to each region being proportional to the LC burden. Each region could use their discretion to decide on the allocation of the funds against the identified LC Priorities. As a condition of the funding, regions were required to submit a project proposal to CCO for approval, and once approved, regions were required to submit an interim and final report at 6 and 12 months, respectively. In total, 10 LC projects were funded.
The third phase of the DPM approach is focused on measuring the results of the initiative. This phase of the initiative is still in progress; however, some early achievements have been realized.
The dyspnea-management pilot projects demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in patients' dyspnea as measured by ESAS, with 45% of patients with severe dyspnea scores reporting a moderate or mild score by their last visit, and 32% of patients with an initial moderate dyspnea score reporting a mild score by their last visit. Patients also reported high levels of satisfaction, feelings of empowerment, and an improved ability to continue with their daily activities. This pilot also resulted in the creation of new patient materials, including a video on how to manage dyspnea, which is posted on the CCO Web site.16
Of the 10 regional improvement projects focused on LC, four concentrated on smoking cessation, whereas others focused on patient education, resource use, and ESAS evaluation. Interim reports submitted to CCO show some initial successes. One region that proposed to improve their multidisciplinary LC case conferences, demonstrated a positive impact on patient treatment recommendations, whereas another region implemented a smoking-cessation program that has reached approximately 600 patients in 6 months. At the conclusion of these projects, final reports will be submitted and the learnings from each will be summarized by CCO's provincial office staff and shared with all regional cancer programs to facilitate transfer and exchange of knowledge.
The LC DPM initiative resulted in the development of standardized patient information and provided an update to the Understanding Lung Cancer document produced by the patient representatives on the provincial LC disease site group. Exploration into provincial variance in guideline concordance is being examined through a provincial research project on guideline adherence led by McMaster University. The report produced will increase understanding of how clinical decisions are made and help identify the barriers and enablers to implementing practice guideline recommendations. The study has noted that the two common barriers were: slow referral processes and lack of organizational support for implementation of guideline recommendations by the administrative leadership. Results from this research will be used to guide future activities in knowledge transfer.
Perhaps the most significant accomplishment to date has been the creation of pathways depicting the recommended and evidence-based management of the diagnostic and treatment phases for small-cell and non–small-cell LC in Ontario. After extensive consultation, including presentations at provincial meetings, wide external consultation, and discussion with LC experts, the pathways were completed. The LC Diagnosis Pathway was the first DPM to be released publicly by CCO on its Web site, and the treatment pathways are also available now.17
By working with a team of patients, caregivers, patient education specialists, and a graphic designer and writer, DPM has begun to develop patient pathway maps. The LC Diagnosis Patient Pathway was recently completed and is now available on the CCO Web site18 and also through the Diagnostic Assessment Program Electronic Pathway solution. Work is currently underway on additional patient pathway maps. The goal of these pathways is to facilitate patient navigation and to improve patient and family member access to information and coordination of care across the trajectory of care, by providing a high-level overview flowchart, which would be easy to understand.
In addition to the early results achieved by the LC DPM initiative, LC became a focus for other program areas within CCO. The primary-care program undertook the development and publication of a clinical practice guideline targeted at the family medicine community, for the early identification and referral of patients suspected of having LC.19 It also led to the establishment of Diagnostic Assessment Programs for LC in every region of the province. The Positron Emission Tomography Steering Committee ensured access to positron emission tomography for those stages and types of LC where the evidence demonstrated clinical utility.20
The provincial symptom-management initiative also focused on the LC disease site. Early performance targets focused specifically on improving the symptom assessment of LC patients through the use of ESAS. Since the inception of the DPM initiative and start of the LC DPM, ESAS use rates by LC patients have gradually increased, allowing CCO to gain a better understanding of the symptom burden and impact (Fig. 2). The symptom-management guides that have been developed by the supportive care program have been helpful in supporting quality care for LC patients. The dyspnea management guide has been of particular relevance to LC.21 Finally, opportunities for reducing the burden of LC and improving outcomes for LC patients were spotlighted by Ontario's Cancer Quality Council through its Cancer System Quality Index for 2 consecutive years, as a result of CCO's focus on this disease.22
As the LC DPM initiative continues to mature, the focus will turn to performance measurement and management, which is a key pillar of CCO's approach to quality improvement. The team will work to select and develop new metrics related to the Priorities, which will be used to measure the performance of the regional cancer programs. Developing measures to evaluate regional cancer program concordance with the clinical pathways, and their impact on the delivery of care, will also be a key focus. Finally, the team will work to share the learnings from the various regional quality-improvement projects with all regions of the province, and determine how best to report progress on the LC quality initiatives through the cancer system quality index.
DPM provides a focused and systematic approach by which to examine the performance of a cancer system, through the lens of the journey that is experienced by a patient with a particular type of cancer. CCO has been able to mount this large DPM initiative because of the support from the senior management team of Cancer Care Ontario, a dedicated DPM secretariat, strong clinical leadership, and broad engagement of service providers across the spectrum of cancer control. The identification of gaps in service or deficiencies in quality identified through the focused discussions of the five working groups, supported by data, and confirmed through a broad consensus workshop, provided a strong basis for action. Regional roadshows helped to accelerate the development of improvement projects and other initiatives to close service gaps. The provision of funding from CCO for the regional quality-improvement projects was critical. The focus on LC through the DPM initiative also stimulated other program areas within CCO, to direct organizational energy to LC-specific issues. As a result of this initiative, there is now a well-established mechanism by which CCO can engage other disease-specific groups in future DPM initiatives.
The disease-specific focus and multidisciplinary engagement of the LC DPM initiative has yielded significant early results for Ontario. The LC Diagnostic and Treatment Pathway Maps will serve as a one-stop shop for guidance on expectations for cancer care delivery, thus helping to ensure consistency of care across the regional cancer programs. Moving forward, CCO expects to see continued improvement in the early detection and care of LC patients and renewed efforts in smoking cessation.

Tennessee Commerce closing loan offices
Tennessee Commerce Bancorp is closing its three out-of-state loan production offices to help it cut costs and focus more on growing in Middle Tennessee.
Officials at the Franklin-based lender told analysts and investors on a conference call this morning that the offices in Birmingham, Atlanta and Minneapolis will close their doors Jan. 31. The sites employ about 10 people who are being paid severance.
CFO Frank Perez said Tennessee Commerce also is on the hook for some lease payments at one of the offices, but that that amount and the severance payments are not significant to its financial statements.
Perez said the closing of the loan offices – the Birmingham site opened in the spring of 2006, the other two in 2008 – has been a while in coming.
"Production was minimal," Perez said. "We had minimized our emphasis there in early 2010. This is something we've been talking about for a while."
The expense savings from the closures and other measures will, Perez said, put Tennessee Commerce's overall costs in line with its first-half 2010 performance. The company's non-interest expenses in the first six months of last year totaled $13.2 million; in the second half, they topped $16.4 million.
Also on the call, President and CEO Mike Sapp provided more detail about the resignation of Chief Administrative Officer Martin Zorn. Sapp said Zorn's departure for a Hawaii risk management company is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"He's not running from something, he's running to something," Sapp said.
Talking later to NashvillePost.com, Zorn said he has known the founder and principals of the Hawaii company for years. They approached him around the turn of the year about heading to the islands.
"Given the economic meltdown, they've obviously seen tremendous growth," said Zorn, who owns property on Maui and has long planned to retire there. "They needed me now."
Sapp said Tennessee Commerce has a plan to replace Zorn and will soon begin to interview candidates. The job may not be structured the same or have the chief administrative officer title, he said.

Start by firing the managers that bought the Los Gatos Community Hospital which has nothing to do with the tax district, then sell the Los Gatos Community Hospital.

Rodger, I'll let you in on a little secret. 80% of the doctors that practice out of El Camino Hospital (ECH) are associated with Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) which is affiliated with Sutter. Sutter runs a chain of hospitals but has none in this area. The real reason ECH bought Las Gatos was to keep Sutter out, otherwise the PAMF doctors might refer there and not ECH, so in some ways Los Gatos acquisition did strengthen ECH.

How about the guy that did all those lawsuits, didn't he live in Los Gatos. Beside it seems everyone wants first rate care, first rate hospital, want we first rate schools but are we will to pay are taxes for this

I have my first biathlon in 3 weeks ( 3 mile run, 20 mile bike, 3 mile run). I've been riding throughout the winter (mostly commutes), but only started runing in the last couple of weeks (not more than 3 miles at a time).
With the limited time I have left I'm not sure how to train for running and biking. How do you determine what intensity to crank out to be ready for the next phase? Any other pointers?

The Bible says that you were created for a relationship with God.
"…All things were created through Him and for Him." -Colossians 1:16
This means that you were created to know God, to love God, to obey God, to enjoy God, and to bring glory to God. But there is a problem, we have all failed to do this because every single person has sinned.
"…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…" -Romans 3:23
While we have had a great show of volunteers we did not have enough workers. VBS is cancelled. We look forward to the future when we can do it with excellence, for the Glory of God.
Thank you all who signed up to support and volunteer for VBS. Your serving heart is greatly appreciated!

We give a new construction of pseudorandom generators from any one-way function. The construction achieves better parameters and is simpler than that given in the seminal work of Hastad, Impagliazzo, Levin and Luby [SICOMP '99]. The key to our construction is a new notion of next-block pseudoentropy, which is inspired by the notion of "inaccessible entropy" recently introduced in [Haitner et al., STOC '09]. An additional advantage over previous constructions is that our pseudorandom generators are parallelizable and invoke the one-way function in a non-adaptive manner. Using [Applebaum, Ishai, Kushilevitz, SICOMP '06], this implies the existence of pseudorandom generators in NC0 based on the existence of one-way functions in NC1.}, author = {Iftach Haitner and Omer Reingold and Salil P.

Turn-of-the-century homes and a thriving business community await you in the City of Kirkwood, Missouri. Established in 1853, Kirkwood has long been known for its down-home charm, community pride, nationally recognized schools, vibrant business community, and its involved residents.
Department heads, City administration, and members of the Citizens' Finance Committee have begun work on the City's budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year that begins April 1, 2016. Here is the first draft of the budget. This is a working draft, and we will update it as changes are made. A final budget will be presented to City Council in March.
The City of Kirkwood and the Downtown Kirkwood Business District will host their annual Winter Fireworks Festival on Saturday, December 26, in Downtown Kirkwood. The festivities begin at 5:00 p.m., with the fireworks at 6:30 p.m., right over Kirkwood City Hall, 139 S. Kirkwood Road.
Thank you to our sponsors: Des Peres Hospital, Riggs Construction & Design, Adams Place Retirement Community, BRiC Partnership, LLC, Billy G's Kirkwood, Kirkwood-Des Peres Area Chamber, Kirkwood Station Restaurant & Brewing Co., Gaffner Realty, Hardy R. Washington, Jr., State Farm Insurance Agent-Kirkwood, Spencer's Grill, Barb & Jim Byerly, Barbara & Art McDonnell. (Wind or ice reschedule date is December 27.)
The City will install temporary stop signs on December 7 on the stretch of South Geyer Road that runs from Big Bend. Blvd., south to Watson Road and to the entrances to I-44 and I-270. The stop signs will be in place for a period of 90 days while the City tests them as a potential traffic and safety solution.
Motorists who regularly travel south from Big Bend, particularly those who commute to and from the St. Louis Community College at Meramec campus, are advised to look for a different route for accessing the two interstates. Traffic will be slowed considerably with the addition of the stop signs.
Don't Stop On the Tracks: Motorists are also advised not to stop on the railroad tracks that cross Big Bend at Geyer. This is an extreme safety hazard, and Kirkwood Police may issue citations to motorists who are stopped on the tracks due to a traffic back-up.
Kirkwood City ordinances allow City staff to use temporary stop signs for a 90-day trial period. At that time, Kirkwood City Council will vote on whether or not to make the stop signs permanent.
The Kirkwood Arts Commission seeks input on arts and music programming for the Kirkwood community. Please consider taking one or both of the following surveys:
City Council received the Concept Design for a new Community Center and a proposed Performing Arts Center at its August 20 Work Session meeting. An economic feasibility study is now being considered. To see the concept design for the two facilities, please click here to download and view the PowerPoint presentation in a PDF.

question 2/6
Mine is long and super super thick and curly. If the weather is dry I will iron it straight, but living in the Pacific NW, that is not something I can do that often this time of year.
It's finally growing out from the horrible haircut I got last summer.
It's layerd and a little past my shoulders now. I have wavy hair. It used to be very thick but it's average now. I had a time period of some very bad hair loss a year or so ago but it finally stopped.
I just got it cut into an a-line medium length bob. Texture is normal but I have a ton of hair.

Sup yaa,
Anyone with a Dell SX260 or SX270 post your specs / setups here.
I have a Dell SX270 and looking for the best way of powering my unit besides a 400watt power inverter.
the sx range have a special psu dont they, a multipin plug, the only thing I would suggest is measuring the voltage thats coming out, one of the wires might turn the psu on, so you might not get any readiings from the psu if its not plugged into the comp.. so this might be tricky
External 150 watt brick
Power Adapter Series: DA-1
DELL Part Number: 3R160
Model: ADP-150BB B
Input: 100-240V ~1.8A 50-60MHz
Output: 12V DC 12.5A
Thanks, but what we need to know is if the adaptor plug has 3 contacts, or just 2 contacts.Quote:

Otherwise, I think the inverter is your only choice.
if you look at the image....towards the top right you have the pin layout.
Remote..............................Future Use
Power supply will not turn on till it's plugged into the unit
Actually, it is really hard to read in the picture, but it does now appear as if there are multiple connections from the brick to the laptop. Leads me to think that an inverter is your only choice.Quote:

The speed of boot and shutdown on this unit is pretty quick, so I don't mind a manual setup. Just have to make a remote switch for the power inverter on my dash then.
There are lots of options for startup and shutdown for laptops. Just do a search for "laptop shutdown" and "laptop startup" It will be easier with a "real" docking station, but after a search, you will have a better idea of what to do.Quote:

it's real easy to ditch the PSU on the SX260/270PC.
1. Cut the cord from the brick to the power connector. Then make the following changes
Connect the RED and/or BROWN wire to +12V
Connect the BLACK and/or WHITE wire to GND
What I did was connect the RED wire to +12, the Black wire to GND. the Brown, White, Yellow(Future use) and Green(Remote) are just taped up. I did not do anything with the shield as it ties to ground
I have used a 10a fuse, but currently use a 15a. Since the PSU puts out 12.5a, I didn't want to get into a situation where I was popping fuses. It works great. the voltage regulartors inside the PC seem to handle the car's voltage fluctuations well... it just won't remain powered on while starting (1F cap could fix that...)

Liber Secundus: Individuation as Integration
An excerpt by Murray Stein, Ph.D. from AJC10: Carl Jung's Red Book[Join us in our 4th Seminar on Carl Jung's Redbook, Presented this time by Curtis Hoffman] The first part of Carl Jung's Red Book was more about separation, in the second part Jung begins integrating several important things. You could also refer to the section as a holy illness and the constellation or the birth of the wounded healer because Jung has to accept his holy illness, his craziness if you will, his own psychic reality. On the first day, it says erste tag, this is the 8th of January 1914, chapter eight, Jung is traveling to the east. He traveled to the north, where he met death. Now, he is going to the east. As he goes to the east he comes upon a figure, a mythological figure named Izdubar the mighty. This is where Jung paints his first big picture in The Red Book, I do not care much for the picture but it is quite an impressive figure. He is a giant of a figure, Izdubar the mighty, there you see him. Izdubar comes from the east, he is a figure of the east and Sonu Shamdashani writes something in a footnote about him, that he is related to Gilgamesh and so on. He is a mythological figure and he is wounded. He comes from the land of faith and belief and he has been wounded by reports that he has gotten that in the west. He wants to go to the west, in the west there is a very different attitude towards religion and faith, very skeptical, very scientific, and Jung comes from the west to the east and they confront each other. Izdubar represents the mythological man, mythological attitude, an early sort of pre-enlightenment, pre-Christian even or eastern religious, people who to this day go to India. They say it is a very spiritual place, it is so different from the west, from Europe or North America. Izdubar comes from the east, or rather from the Middle East, comes this way for his meeting with Jung. Jung wants to go to the east and Izdubar says, "don't go to the east, it will blind you, the sun is too bright for you there." So he warns Jung not to go to the east and Jung is sorry for him because he has been wounded by science, he says, "in the west we no longer have faith, we no longer have religion, God is dead. Nietzsche announced it years ago and what we have now is science and science wounds religion. If you come to the west, it will destroy you, they will take you apart, they will analyze you to pieces, they will reduce you to rubble. You can't go to the west." And so, they are stuck there and Izdubar is wounded, Jung feels sorry for him but he is too big to pick up. What is he going to do with him? How can he heal him? That becomes the problem and the question. So Jung comes upon an ingenious idea. He says, "I am going to treat Izdubar as a fantasy. I am going to say he is just a fantasy, and then I can take this big figure and I am going to put him in a tiny shell, an eggshell, put him in my pocket and go back home, go back to the west. And, as long as I have got him in my pocket nobody will see him, they can't attack him, and I will just carry this mythological attitude home and hold it secretly and that will offer it protection. And then, while it is there I will try to heal it." So he does that, he puts him in an egg, goes home with him, and then when he gets home, having made religion a private affair, hidden it away in his pocket, this is the solution. This is how you can be religious in the atheistic, scientific, enlightenment west. You can be secretly, you can be secretly religious. Keep it in your pocket, do not tell anybody about it. And so when he gets home with it he realizes it's still is not healed, it is in the egg and he has to breathe life into it, he has to bring it back to life. So, there is this section called the incantations which was inserted later where he does these prayers and incantations to bring Izdubar back, to heal him, bring him back to life and here you see Jung as spiritual healer at work, breathing life into this figure Izdubar, and he is successful, he is immensely successful. He opens the egg in chapter eleven, and Izdubar comes out of the egg, healed and well like a reborn son, and he rises up and he returns to where he came from, to the east where the sun rises. So he is a healed mythological man but he leaves Jung behind and now there is a separation again. Jung then realized that he could not go to the east for religion. He writes about this later, he says, "It is a mistake to try to mimic eastern religions. We have to stay true to our own history, to our own path, that is not the way for us." It certainly was not for him although he learned a lot about eastern religions and he even traveled to India and so on. Jung was not in favor of leaving your own belief, whatever that is, and in the west it is Christianity, Judaism, whatever your tradition happens to be, but rather to go with it, to try to elaborate or carry it further, but not to leave it behind or go after something else and tried to mimic the people of the east. So Izdubar returns, retreats, and Jung have realized he cannot regress to being a mythological person, taking on mythological meanings and living in a phony mythology. It would not work, he was too honest. He was scientific, he was enlightenment man. He had a statue of Voltaire in his study, you know, the arch enlightenment figure for another reason, which I will tell you later, so mythological man, heal it and leave it be. Let us know your thoughts on Liber Secundus by commenting below. Stay tuned for Dr. Curtiss Hoffman's blog response to this excerpt by Dr. Murray Stein.

The Individuation of God: Book Review By Leonard Cruz
The Individuation of God: Integrating Science and Religion Peter B Todd
A book review
By Leonard Cruz, M.D. , M.E.
Erit in omnibus in Omnia Deus (God may become all in and through all)
The Phenomenon of Man
Pierre Telihard de Chardin
Click Here for Peter Todd's interview with Dr. Rachael KohnQuantum mechanics, depth psychology, and mysticism are blended in Peter Todd's scholarship as he searches for a Third-Millennium Theology. Todd effectively strikes a blow to the The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins's enormously popular 2006 book by highlighting that the God Dawkins seeks to dismantle, a God infused with classical Newtonian and neo-Darwinian ideas, has already been silenced and annihilated. Todd correctly points out that Dawkins completely ignores revolutionary ideas emerging from quantum mechanics high priests such as David Bohm (The Undivided Universe), Erwin Schrödinger (What is Life?), and evolutionary biologists like McFadden, Al-Khalilili (A Quantum Mechanical Model of Adaptive Mutation) who propose a quantum mechanical model of evolution. One consequence of Todd's frequent reference to Dawkins is that it may unintentionally promote The God Delusion. During the twentieth century, under the banner of process theology, various explorations of God's attribute of being mutable were undertaken. The Individuation of God is at once a psychologically well-informed work and another contribution to process theology. Readers who are familiar with certain bedrock ideas from quantum mechanics will undoubtedly appreciate Todd's grasp more than those for whom ideas like quantum entanglement, or emergent phenomenon are entirely new concepts. It may be helpful to explain some concepts and Wikipedia provides some succinct explanations with suitable references (retrieved 2/3/2013 ) Quantum entanglement is a form of quantum superposition. When a measurement is made and it causes one member of such a pair to take on a definite value (e.g., clockwise spin), the other member of this entangled pair will at any subsequent time[6] be found to have taken the appropriately correlated value (e.g., counterclockwise spin). Thus, there is a correlation between the results of measurements performed on entangled pairs, and this correlation is observed even though the entangled pair may have been separated by arbitrarily large distances.[7]In Quantum entanglement, part of the transfer happens instantaneously. [8] Emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. Emergence is central to the theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. The negentropy, also negative entropy,[1] of a living system is the entropy that it exports to keep its own entropy low; it lies at the intersection of entropy and life. (It is a measure of a systems tendency to move toward or sustain complexity and order.) Todd suggests that God and man are in an entangled state such that both God's and man's individuation are inextricably bound and reliant on one another for completion. This will strike many Christians as antithetical and heretical, but it may provide process theologians a solid scientific basis for their claims. The book's first chapter, "The Case against God" summarizes the case Dawkins prosecutes against God in which he contends that belief in a personal god constitutes a delusion. In "Religious Fundamentalism as a Shadow", Todd notes that fundamentalism and the literalism it espouses is "One major challenge to the survival of humanity…" . (p 21) The third chapter, "Mind and Directed Evolution" introduces the most revolutionary claims. Insofar as the quality of mind is revealed even at the quantum level, Todd explains that biosystems may be viewed as quantum computers. As such, they are capable of evaluating infinite probability states, and through natural selection, efficiently choosing evolutionary changes that are useful for survival. If for example, the mutation of the HIV retrovirus involves something other than random events, then humankind's collective conscious response may be understood as a "metaphorical quantum entanglement between the developed and developing worlds…that transcends the confines of nationalism and economic self-interest…" (p48). In the chapter titled "Consciousness as an Organizing Principle" the author decries spiritual materialism, secularism, and the religion of the state for their ability to support a "God of insects" (p82), wherein spirit and numinosity is repressed and no individuality exists like with beehives or ant colonies. This conception of God has menacing effects upon the planet and its resources. In the totalitarian states especially, "…no individuality exists … the individuation process is repressed so that personal self-identity is subsumed to a mindless devotion to the state …". Depth psychology, theology, and the numinous qualities of archetypal symbols illuminate how man's conception of God can evolve beyond a transitional object. The last two chapters, "Myth, Symbol, and Transformation" and "A Third-Millennium Theology" challenge conventional understanding of time's arrow and reintroduce the numinous in an effort to propose a theology for our current millennium. Todd is not suggesting a third-millennium theology as some completed endpoint. However, he seems to be mindful of the simultaneous threats of thermonuclear warfare, chemical & biological weapons, natural resource depletion, and global warming. These are more dangerous if humanity remains fixed in the mindset of religious fundamentalism, classical Newtonian mechanics, or neo-Darwinian orthodoxy. The Individuation of God inquires about time and the illusion of time's arrow. Todd invokes Schrödinger's reference to the "tyranny of Chronos" in considering the indestructibility of the mind. The Greek New Testament uses two words for time, Chronos (Χρόνος) and Kairos (καιρός). Kairos is the indeterminate time, often discovered in the liminal realm, when something special happens. It can be thought of as the emergent moment, the eternal now, or the realm where the illusion of time's arrow is transcended. In the end, The Individuation of God is a valiant and well-informed effort to integrate modern science, psychology, and theology. The Individuation of God successfully interweaves an expansive list of sources. In the last chapter His Holiness the Dalai Lama is quoted, "If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change." (p141). And from Einstein's essay, "The World as I See It" he quotes, "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious." We arrive at some intriguing conclusions that "Without psyche there would be no theory to explain the outlines and patterns discovered by science." (p150) In the course of God becoming fully human through the incarnation, arises a corollary and possibility, that humanity is becoming divine. This is in perfect alliance with Jung's notion of Christ as a symbol of the coniunctio, for Christ reconciles opposites. The evolution of God and the evolution of man cannot be separated. There is a trajectory of humanity's conception of God that began with a mythopoetic, animistic experience of the divine. This trajectory later traverses the epochs in which omnipotent, often patriarchal Olympian or Old Testament deities reigned with ferocity and aloofness. And this arrives at a "…three-hundred-year-old schism between science and religion" (p160) that yielded a demythologized, annihilated god. Peter Todd's third millennium theology, may provide a path of return to the Garden of Eden. This third millennium theology is characterized by a deep appreciation for the entangled state of our inner and outer life, of I and Thou, and of the physical and the numinous. This theology brings man's evolving notion of God full circle where it is once more infused with myths and symbols. In this regard, depth psychology and Jung's seemingly unfathomable explorations continue to enrich us. At times it may appear at times that Todd too often refers to ideas previously mentioned, but this is necessary since many topics are likely to be unfamiliar. The frequent invocation of Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion, makes The Individuation of God, appear to be a disputation of Dawkins. This is a small shortcoming, of this book but The Individuation of God deserves to stand alone with Dawkins relegated to a footnote and bibliographic reference. – Len Cruz, MD CLICK HERE TO ORDER A COPY OF THIS BOOK

Psyche and Society: The Work of the Unconscious
We have to realize, quite dispassionately, that whatever we fight about in the outside world is also a battle in our inner selves. In the end we have to admit that mankind is not just an accumulation of individuals utterly different from one another, but possesses such a high degree of psychological collectivity that in comparison the individual appears merely as a slight variant. How shall we judge this matter fairly if we cannot admit that it is also our own problem? Anyone who can admit this will first seek the solution in himself. This, in fact, is the way all the great solutions begin. (CW18: 927 Marginal Notes on Wittels: "Die Sexualle Not," 1910)As we seek solutions in a spirit of enquiry and curiosity and as we find ourselves reflected in our world, JSSS invites proposals for presentation, performance, and conversation at this conference. We invite responses that explore the individual and collective aspects of psyche and society and their various relationships: personally, in families, as communities, in relation to culture, to nature and the arts, politics and science. This conference offers an opportunity for interdisciplinary reflection, investigation and rumination as together we seek to clarify and understand the current state of our world and its affective influence upon us. Research that addresses the following questions will be particularly welcome:
- What do psyche and society say to us regarding: nature, eco-systems, climate, space, animals and human bodies?
- How might our reflections on psyche and society shed new light on: politics, cultural change, economics, education, international relations, conflict and war?
- How does psyche and society influence our response and understanding of: race, gender, identity, nation, history and spirituality?
- How does an awareness of the interaction between psyche and society help to understand cultural media? And other forms of cultural expression?
- What responses are open and sustainable to individuals and communities in the face of such concerns?
- Full name (including title if applicable)
- Full mailing address and email address

by Dr. Gillian McKeith
"This is NOT a diet!" is what Dr. McKeith argues decisively in her book. The plan she outlines is a regimented system to help readers lose weight while embarking on a lifestyle of healthiness. In addition to meal suggestions, Dr. McKeith also includes work-out regimens along with detox plans and tips on personal motivation. When readers needs some help or lose sight of their goals, the book also comes complete with a clear "SOS Emergency Plan," in which Dr. McKeith walks the experimenter through the whole process.
Unlike some diet books that provide answers without asking the right questions, Slim For Life succeeds in identifying the root of the problem and explaining how that problem can be solved. Readers are asked to record what food they are currently eating in order to make them truly aware of what they are putting in their bodies. They are then directed to analyze this food diary and make the appropriate healthy changes. If readers need a push in the right direction, Dr. McKeith's 28 days of low-calorie, high-energy meals provide plenty of comfortable, enjoyable options. For example, Day 24's meal plan includes a Peach and Mango Smoothie for breakfast, an apple and grapefruit mid-morning snack, a Southern Style Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Red Onions and Peppers for lunch, a veggie juice mid-afternoon snack, and a dinner of Salmon and Savoy Cabbage Lasagna. Here's to the beginning of a better, healthier life!

Picture: Tom Cruise 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at Sunset Tower Hotel - Arrivals West Hollywood, California - 26.02.12
Tom Cruise learned to fly planes after he was gifted with a course of lessons by late moviemaker Sydney Pollack.
The pair became great friends after working together on 1993 film The Firm and Cruise reveals Pollack helped him indulge his passion for aviation with a very special present.
He tells Playboy magazine, "I always wanted to fly, and that was one of the reasons I did Top Gun. I just never had the time to learn. Then I met Sydney Pollack. I was 19 or 20... We talked about a big mutual interest that we had in aviation because I knew he flew. Sydney became a lifelong friend, and when we finished The Firm together in 1993 or 1994, he gave me flying lessons as a gift.
"He said, 'I know how much you love flying. Take the time, right now, and do it, because otherwise you'll never get to it.' I had two kids by then, and I worked all the time. In a few months I had my instrument rating, and a little while after that I had my commercial rating.
"I trained mostly in aerobatics... I was doing rolls, loops, all kinds of aerobatic manoeuvres. My first airplane was called a Pitts, and then I flew a Marchetti. This was all in preparation to fly the Warbird, the P-51."
Cruise also reveals he bought his favourite plane in 2000 and named it after his wife, Katie Holmes, adding, "I searched all over the world for my P-51 and found it in 2000. It's called Kiss Me Kate, which covers two things I love most, my wife and movies."

Eric Jaffe, with assistance from Devajyoti Deka of the Alan M. Voorhees Transport Centre at Rutgers University, writes about "people living alone", who he dubs "solos" (not to be confused with the transportation version: solo drivers or commuters) or singletons. According to Deka, "when it comes to housing and travel preferences, solos tend to live more sustainable lifestyles", with sustainability measured in terms of:
One reason for the urban preference for solos is that they make more money and have more employment flexibility in cities.
But here's the paradox: "modern metro areas were largely planned and designed with the nuclear family in mind," says Jaffe. Today 28% of all households are solos. If cities want to attract solos, Deka has two recommendations:
Dr. Deka's paper, "The Living, Moving and Travel Behaviour of the Growing American Solo: Implications for Cities", was published July 05 in Urban Studies. The abstract is available free, while the text requires a subscription to Urban Studies.
Readers may recall that the growing numbers of singletons was the topic of NYU sociology professor Eric Kleinberg's 2012 book, "Going Solo"; four articles on it can be accessed below under "Related".
