Driven by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (otherwise known as the HITECH Act), adoption of medical software is soaring across United States healthcare. The HITECH Act set aside over $25 billion to encourage the adoption and expansion healthcare IT. The Meaningful Use program, for instance, offers significant subsidies should providers adopt electronic medical records and meet a set of standards set forth by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.
Results were initially slow, but judging by pure adoption numbers the program has succeeded. In 2014, the National Center for Healthcare Statistics released a report showing that 78 percent of office-based physicians had adopted electronic medical records, although this number is contradicted by other reports, such as research firm SK&A's finding that adoption is closer to 61 percent. Paper documents are quickly becoming an anachronism in healthcare, and care providers are now scrambling to find the best medical software for their practice, whether it be an EHR system or something more localized.
However, the HITECH Act isn't the only influence moving providers to invest in greater information technology: patients are increasingly demanding more intuitive means to interact with their healthcare providers, as well as greater access to their health information. Other major industries have already acquiesced to such demands from consumers. The financial, insurance, and telecom markets all instituted electronic delivery services for their consumers some 20 years ago. Additionally, new care models, such as patient centered medical homes and accountable care organizations, require a significant IT infrastructure to transfer critical data between providers, patients, and payers.
Several types of software preceded the electronic medical record, most notably practice management and billing software. This guide helps providers **compare medical software** by examining each of these three types, detailing the benefits, and explaining current trends prospective buyers should be aware of.
Electronic Health Record Software
Before the HITECH Act, the EHR – a term used synonymously with EMR by the vast majority of healthcare professionals – was used more often as a research tool, with few hospitals and practices storing clinical patient information electronically. Now, providers are implementing EHRs at a rapid rate, many in hopes of meeting Meaningful Use criteria and qualifying for federal incentives to cover the cost of buying the software.
The value in moving from written records to electronic records is obvious, at least in theory:
- Legibility issues are eliminated, which reduces the likelihood of medical errors in prescribing
- Information can be stored, accessed, and transferred more easily
- Clinical workflow can be streamlined as providers receive information in near real time rather than flipping through paper charts
- Costs from redundant test and interventions are reduced and the quality of care is increased
However, despite a recent Health Affairs systematic review that found 92 percent of published papers correlated with positive conclusions about EHR usage, many physicians remain unsatisfied with their EHR systems. This partially results from the plethora of vendors that entered the market after the HITECH Act was passed, many of which offered substandard products. This number has decreased substantially as Meaningful Use standards have become more stringent, but finding a system that's both usable and powerful still presents a challenge.
A basic, quality electronic health record system should be able to record SOAP notes, transfer prescriptions to pharmacists using computerized physician order entry, allow providers to chart without significant impediment, help physicians check treatment recommendations against problem and medication lists, and offer some type of information transfer between different systems.
Many systems promise this type of functionality, but fall short once they're implemented. Two types of certification exist to help buyers better choose quality software: CMS's ONC-ATB certification and the CCHIT certification, which is more demanding than CMS standards.

Cloud Deployment
As the medical software market matures, more EHRs are being offered through remotely hosted deployments rather than via on-premise, dedicated servers. While not necessarily cheaper, cloud-based EHRs are usually easier to deploy and maintain, as vendors are responsible for software updates and server maintenance.
Specialty versus General
Though adoption rates are increasing rapidly, many of the early adopters have been primary care physicians who were the target market for many first generation EHRs. As more specialists adopt EHRs, it's important to consider how a system's capabilities align with your clinical workflow. Specialty specific templates or customizable templates are important characteristics to look for in a specialty-facing system.
The electronic medical records market is complex, as is the purchasing process. If you're looking for more information on EHR software, see our comprehensive EHR listings, or read our free EHR buyer's guide.
Practice Management
While electronic medical records deal with clinical information at the point of care, practice management software will often organize other aspects of the clinical workflow, such as appointments, room assignments, billing, and even inventory. Due to its direct connection with billing and coding, practice management software was already adopted by many physicians before electronic medical records. While physicians could still practice with paper patient records in the past – often because patients didn't expect as much information access as they do today and the CMS wasn't pushing for EHR adoption – providers couldn't maintain their entire revenue cycle through paper means.
Like EHRs, practice management systems can cover a great deal of functionality. Some simply handle appointments, while others can boast functions that allow the system to accept information from radiology and laboratory systems. More commonly, a strong financial element exists, and practice management systems are often used to conduct payroll and produce reports that examine administrative costs and practice profit versus overhead. Practice management software also often helps physicians with billing, and some vendors offer completely outsourced services, which works well for smaller practices that don't want to hire additional staff to handle finances.
Though the deadline for transitioning to the new set of procedure codes has been pushed back to October 2015, providers would do well to begin preparing as soon as possible, as the new code set is significantly larger and more complex than ICD-9. Choosing a practice management system that features coding assistance in ICD-10, or updating your current system to meet the new standard, is critical to ensure your revenue cycle continues running smoothly.
Integration versus Standalone
Practice management systems come in two forms: connected to an electronic health record system or a standalone version not tied to an EHR. When selecting products, it's important to consider the overall usability and functionality of a system, but integration with an EHR can be a significant benefit. If the two systems don't interface, you may have to contact one of the two vendors and request technical support, which could lead to lost data.
For more information on practice management systems, see our complete vendor listings or read our comprehensive guide.
Billing Software
A subset of practice management software, standalone billing software helps providers transition from manually submitting claims using paper records and fax machines, to automating the process with software. Though practice management systems, electronic health record systems, and billing systems are all moving toward integration, you can still purchase stand-alone versions of each. Like the other two types of software, billing software ranges in complexity depending on the specific product.
Due to the different needs of inpatient, outpatient, and specialty practices, buyers can easily find billing software that caters directly to the requirements of their business. The benefits of implementing billing software are similar for many organizations:
- Reduction in clerical errors
- Increase in revenue
- Decrease in denials
- Greater control over revenue cycle
The reduction in clerical errors is self-explanatory: without having to maintain mountains of paper files, organizing information becomes easier. More accurate billing results in increased revenue and decreased denials, as well as reports that can help identify patterns in upcoding. Using such reports, providers can determine which procedures they can upcode and which payers will accept upcoding. Finally, gaining greater control over your revenue cycle leads to faster claim submission and greater accuracy.
The trends in medical billing software overlap with those of practice management, namely ICD-10 support and the ongoing move towards integration with EHRs.

These chemicals that are used in these traditional mattresses are potentially very unhealthy to our babies. Chemicals that are used in these typical mattresses off-gas and the babies breath these gasses while they are sleeping. Phosphorus, antimony and arsenic are some of the chemicals that are used in the manufacture of the typical crib mattress. While there isnt actual proof that the use of these chemicals in these mattresses is related to SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), what is known is that after chemicals were initially added to crib mattresses, the incidents of SIDS rose dramatically. While the chemicals used for the filling are bad enough, the moisture-proof vinyl covering has various potential health hazards as well. According to the FDA, the vinyl that has been used in the moisture-proof outer layer has been known to cause allergic reactions in many humans. Another issue with the moisture-proof vinyl outer layer is that this material does not breath and restricts air flow. When you consider that in conjunction with the chemicals used inside the traditional crib mattress it gets pretty scary. Even though the vinyl outer layer is moisture-proof, these chemicals can still leach through it and your baby can breath the gasses while inside the crib. The good news is that an organic crib mattress offers a safe and healthy option.
Adjustable Bases. Adjustable beds are becoming more and more popular but they are still very expensive. They make it easy to sleep or read as the bed can be raised or lowered as needed. They are also very helpful for people with medical conditions. GERD (acid reflux) patients find there is less pain sleeping in a raised position. In some situations the end of the bed raises and this can help patients who suffer from leg cramps. Most of these beds come as single beds. There are also double sized beds with the two sides independently adjustable. Some extreme adjustable beds can have up to 5 areas that can be altered. From the head to the feet and every point in between, these are considered the elite of adjustable beds. Because the mattresses are made especially to suit each bed it is best to purchase the two together.

In a recent post I mentioned we were working on another giveaway, and here it is.
The NYNE Cruiser features Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC for quick and easy wireless pairing with a smartphone that riders can then keep safely tucked away in a pocket or backpack. With up to 10 hours of playtime, the Cruiser can play while you ride to work, at work, and during your ride home all on one charge. It even allows you to multitask and answer a phone call while riding with its built-in microphone. Additionally, the Cruiser features a built-in powerbank for charging your mobile device when you're low on battery.
The Cruiser is covered at the 35 second mark in this video:
We will revive Bike Hacks Haiku to give this bad boy away. Haiku is based on writing poetry with attention to keeping count of the syllables used. The pattern of syllables in traditional Haiku appears to be 5-7-5. However, this site states that "In foreign languages, there exist NO consensus in how to write Haiku-poems."
So the contest is this – submit your best Nyne Cruiser inspired Haiku in the comment section of this post, following the format of three groups of words, divided into a 5-7-5 pattern (if you wish to go traditional, see #1 below). You can submit as many as you like via the comments button below this post.
One individual winner will be selected to receive and review the Cruiser for bikehacks.com.
Here's what to do:
1. Compose your Haiku – see examples of the 5-7-5 pattern below. The Haiku should be inspired by the Cruiser. You can use a title if you like, but it is not necessary. If you wish to use the traditional Haiku pattern of 5-7-5 with syllables that is fine too.
2. Submit your Haiku by clicking on the comment link below this post. Submit as many as you like, even different times if you like.
3. The deadline to submit is Friday, May 30th at midnight Pacific Standard Time.
4. The winner will use the Cruiser and compose a review post for BikeHacks.com. The review should preferably include testing the cruiser using a Van Halen song from the David Lee Roth era. I would be partial to "Somebody Get me a Doctor!"
The Cruiser is the winner's to keep. One minor note, the product can only be shipped within the continental United States. This means participation is limited to those living in the continental United States.
Here's a sample from the BikeHacks.com brain trust =)

30 in 30: Gibson highlights Ducks' deep prospect baseby Adam Kimelman
One of the big reasons the Anaheim Ducks went from watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs to finishing as the second seed in the Western Conference in 2012-13 was the play of a burgeoning crop of young players.
That group included forwards Kyle Palmieri, Emerson Etem, Peter Holland and Rickard Rakell, and defenseman Sami Vatanen.
Expect more young players to get prime opportunities this season.
"If you can play, we'll find a spot for you," Ducks director of player development Todd Marchant told NHL.com. "Don't care if you're 18, 19, 20, 21, however old you are. If you're going to be able to play in the National Hockey League, we're going to find a spot for you."
Here's a look at Anaheim's top 10 prospects, according to NHL.com:
1. John Gibson, G: This past season was a memorable one for the 19-year-old; he won the best goaltender award and was named most valuable player when the United States won the gold medal at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship. He was in net when the Americans defeated Finland in a shootout to win the bronze medal at the IIHF World Championship. He parlayed that success into an invitation to USA Hockey's Olympic orientation camp at the end of August. He's the only goaltender with no NHL experience to be invited to the camp.
A 2011 second-round pick (No. 39), Gibson went 17-9-1 with a 2.41 goals-against average and .928 save percentage in 27 regular-season games with the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League. He got into one game with the Ducks' American Hockey League affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, after his OHL season ended.
"Ever since we drafted him, he has done nothing but get better," Marchant said. "He's succeeded not only in the OHL, but in international competition with the Under-18s, World Juniors, and then at the World Championship. The fact that he got invited to the Team USA [Olympic] orientation camp is proof that he is one of our top prospects we have in our organization."
With Jonas Hiller and Viktor Fasth guiding the Ducks to the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season, it's likely Gibson (6-foot-3, 209 pounds) starts his professional career this season in Norfolk.
2. Hampus Lindholm, D: The sixth pick of the 2012 NHL Draft, Lindholm made the unusual decision to start the season in North America rather than return to his native Sweden. Though it wasn't always a smooth run for the 6-3, 199-pound player, the Ducks believe it was a good decision.
"He said, 'I can come over and learn the North American-style of game early and be able to play big minutes,' because he didn't feel he would get those if he went back and played for his men's team in Rogle," Marchant said. "He made the decision to come over and play as an 18-year-old and played big minutes for us. He had a rough start to the season, but he got much better as the season went on."
Two concussions limited Lindholm to 44 games last season with Norfolk, and he had one goal, 10 assists and a plus-5 rating. He was healthy for the final 25 games of the season, and Marchant said he was happy with what he saw from the 19-year-old.
"He finished the season real strong for us in Norfolk," Marchant said. "We expect big things out of him. We expect him to contend for a spot on the big club [in 2013-14] in training camp."
3. Peter Holland, C: The Ducks' first pick in the 2009 NHL Draft (No. 15), Holland saw his most significant NHL time last season, when he had three goals and five points in 21 games, averaging 11:35 of ice time. He had 19 goals and 39 points in 45 AHL games.
It was Holland's second successful AHL season, and Marchant said he sees the 22-year-old as someone who has proven about all he can at the AHL level and is ready to make a big push for an NHL job.
"This is a big year for him," Marchant said. "He has to take the next step forward in his development. He's proven it at the junior level, he's proven it at the American League level. Now it's time to prove it at the National Hockey League level. He's got all the tools -- big (6-2, 192), strong, great shot, can skate well. Has all the skills of a National Hockey League player; now what he needs to do is put it together, put the whole package on the ice every single night. If he does that, he'll have success in the National Hockey League."
4. Rickard Rakell, RW: The Ducks' 2011 first-round pick (No. 30) was a surprise addition to the opening-night roster and played in four games before being returned to his junior team, the Plymouth Whalers of the OHL.
Rakell (6-1, 191) had six assists in six games to help Sweden win the silver medal at the 2013 World Juniors, and had 44 points in 40 games with Plymouth, but Marchant said the most beneficial time last season for the 20-year-old was his short stint in the NHL.
"I think it was a huge advantage for him to be able to go see the NHL and see that action because now he understands what it takes to play at that level," Marchant said. "He went back to Plymouth and finished the season very strong with his junior team and in the [OHL] playoffs. He's another one of those players we expect to contend for a spot on the Anaheim Ducks. Smart player, real big, strong, protects the puck well. He's definitely one of the guys that we're expecting to contend for a spot."
5. Sami Vatanen, D: A 2009 fourth-round pick (No. 106), Vatanen had a strong debut season in North America. He was second in scoring in Norfolk, and tied for third among AHL defensemen with 45 points in 62 games. That earned him an eight-game call-up to the Ducks, when he had two goals and averaged 15:49 of ice time.
He's grown by an inch and 17 pounds since he was drafted, but at 5-10 and 180 pounds, Vatanen, 22, needs to get stronger to earn full-time NHL work.
"He's a dynamic player, really good vision, skates well, sees the ice well, has a really good shot from the point," Marchant said. "He needs to continue to work on his ability to defend, especially bigger players, because he's not the biggest guy. But he's another one of those players who is right in the mix for earning a spot on the Anaheim Ducks."
6. William Karlsson, C: The 2011 second-round pick (No. 53) made his debut in the Swedish Hockey League last season a successful one, totaling 28 points in 50 games with HV 71 and earning the league's rookie of the year award. Karlsson (6-foot, 180) had two assists in six games to help Sweden win the silver medal at the 2013 World Juniors.
Marchant said he expects the 20-year-old to spend one more season in Sweden but has liked what he's seen so far.
"He's a really smart player," Marchand said. "Very cerebral, sees the ice well, makes good decisions. Very good defensively. He's another player that will have to continue to get bigger and stronger as he develops. Since we drafted him, he's added about 15 pounds of muscle. The sky's the limit for him as a player."
7. Nicolas Kerdiles, LW: The 2012 second-round pick (No. 36) had a bumpy start to his college career, with a 10-game suspension due to an NCAA violation. However, he returned to finish second on the team with 33 points (third with 11 goals) in 32 games. Kerdiles (6-1, 192) helped Wisconsin win the Western Collegiate Hockey Association championship and was named MVP of the conference tournament.
Marchant said what impressed him most was how Kerdiles, 19, handled his suspension, staying at Wisconsin rather than bolting for the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League, which owns his Canadian Hockey League rights.
"He didn't let [the suspension] get him down, didn't let that bother him," Marchant said. "Once he came off the suspension, he took off. He finished with a great season at Wisconsin, they won the WCHA championship, he was named the MVP in the playoffs. For him to step his game up when it counted the most is a trait that teams love to have and they love to see that, so you know when it comes to crunch time in the playoffs, you need players to step up. Nic Kerdiles did that this year. We have high expectations for him."
8. Shea Theodore, D: The Ducks' first-round pick (No. 26) in 2013 made a nice impression on Marchant during the team's prospect development camp in July.
The 6-2, 178-pound player had 19 goals and 50 points in 71 WHL games with the Seattle Thunderbirds last season. It's likely the 18-year-old will return to Seattle for at least one more season of development.
"He's a very good skater, no question he can get up and down the ice," Marchand said. "He's got great offensive instincts. He's another player that in the next few years will be contending for a spot on our team. He's got great offensive instincts [but] needs to continue to develop on the defensive responsibilities. He has all the raw tools of being an NHL defenseman. Now it's just a question of putting it all together at the right time."
9. Nick Sorensen, RW: It took a while for the Danish-born forward to fully heal from a knee injury that limited him to eight games in 2011-12, but the Ducks believe they found a prospect on the rise in the second round (No. 45) at the 2013 NHL Draft.
Sorensen, 18, had 20 goals and 47 points in 46 games with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League last season, but had 11 goals and 21 points in his final 20 games.
"He really didn't come on until the second half of last season," Marchand said. "He was coming off an ACL injury the year before, took some time in the beginning part of last year to get his feet under him. He finished the season real strong and that's why we took him in the second round this year. We felt not only was he physically beyond the injury, but mentally. I talked with Nick extensively over this and he said it really did wear on him, not knowing if he could bounce back from the injury. But he did really well at our prospect camp. He's a big, strong kid (6-1, 174), he skates well, very intelligent player. He's got all the tools."
10. Kevin Roy, C: The Ducks drafted the 5-9, 160-pound forward in the fourth round (No. 97) of the 2012 NHL Draft after an explosive season with the Lincoln Stars of the United States Hockey League that saw him total 54 goals and 104 points in 59 games.
Roy, 20 in May, showed he still had the scoring touch last season as a freshman at Northeastern University, totaling 17 goals and 34 points in 29 games. His 1.17 point-per-game average topped all first-year NCAA players and was No. 12 among all players.
"He's very dynamic around the net," Marchant said. "Not the biggest guy, but always seems to be around the puck. He reminds me of a Ray Whitney-type of player. When he's on the ice, the puck is usually on his stick."For all 30 in 30 stories go to NHL.com/30in30stories and for the full 30 in 30 schedule visit NHL.com/30in30.

Bessy Bell and its lower neighbour, Mary Gray, are named after the heroines of a Scottish ballad. This begins Bessie Bell and Mary Gray, they were twa bonny lasses. The obvious Scots origin of the name did not deter Samuel Lewis from making an extravagant connection between Bessy Bell and the pagan deity Baal in his Topographical Dicitionary of Ireland (1843): "On the summit of Bessy Bell, or 'Boase-Baal', on which in pagan times sacrifice is supposed to have been offered to Baal or Bel, is a large and curious cairn." Sliabh Troim is the original Irish name. Also recorded as Sliab Toad [LGÉ]. Bessy Bell is the 846th highest place in Ireland.

Bessy Bell Wind Farm
mcna on Bessy Bell, 2008

This is a fantastic hill with very rewarding views on a good day. I am so glad to see it has been added to Mountain views. I walk this about once a week and the scenery never fails to entertain me! I use this as training as it has a nice, sustained slope the entire way. There is wind farm near the top and a telecommunications mast on the summit hence there is a rough road all the way. This hill forms part of every day for me, I can see it from my house and from my classroom window so I now just the weather depending on how much of Bessy I can see and how clear she appears! It can be tricky enough to get to the start of the road if you don't know the area. From Omagh head out the Derry road and just past the Sperrin Restaurant and service station there is road to the left. Now, I mean right after it - you could miss it very easily. If you are coming from Strabane direction drive on past the folk park and it's just before the Sperrin Restaurant. At the cross roads beside the church take a left and continue along this road until the first right turn. This road will take you to the foot of the track which is roughly GR
. This road is also used by the forestry service so there are lots of junctions along the way – just follow the road up hill. The wind farm is an excellent place to stop. There are information boards giving you details about the amount of electricity generated. The last section is up quite a steep hill to the telecommunications mast. The trig point is located about 20 m to the right but it is visible from the end of the track. It takes about 35 minutes to walk from the car to the top and about 25 back again. From here you can see Mullaghcarn and the high Sperrins, the pigeon top and on a really good day you can see Errigal and Muckish. You also look down over the Baronscourt estate and the Derg Valley. The walk can be extended by going over the summit and down the bog to the main Omagh to Derry road and over to the Mellon Country Hotel – all of which can be seen from the summit. You would need another car at "The Mellon" unless you planned to come back the same way. All in all, a very rewarding short walk that is used to introduce children to hill walking in this area but one that can be just as reward from adults!

Approach from east following Ulster Way
30 Sep 2010
This is a hill I'd been wanting to climb for a while, for despite its relatively low height, it and the wind farm on its lower slopes are very prominent from nearby summits owing to its relatively detached position at the western end of the Sperrins. The Ulster Way conveniently passes over the summit (not sure it always did though - the route was altered and relaunched about a year ago).
I climbed Bessy earlier this week when driving between Omagh and Strabane. About 5 miles past Omagh I took the turn-off for Mountjoy on the left, just after a garage. A couple of miles past the village you'll see an Ulster Way sign, joining from a minor road on the right. The UW then takes the next left turn at
and I followed this uphill. This is a very steep, narrow road and luckily I didn't meet anyone else on the way up or down. The road soon levels out with an abandoned, two storey farmhouse on the left. I parked next to this and made the rest of the journey on foot. While OSNI map 12 suggests the road continues on from here it really becomes a grassy, hedged-in track.
I followed the UW uphill and in a zigzag, over several stiles (some weren't necessary as the gates were open - one I was able to lift off the ground!), passing close to another seemingly abandoned farmhouse to the right. At times you'd be on a track and others passing through fields with grazing sheep and cows, with the turbines close by overhead. Sometimes the signage wasn't obvious which caused a bit of head scratching and a couple of wrong turns. Eventually a sign points off the track onto the open hillside and I began my ascent. Frustratingly I didn't see another sign on the ascent but luckily ended up right at a stile crossing a fence near the summit. The terrain was typical Sperrins: grassy, heathery, reedy in parts and luckily not too wet at the time. The trig is just a short distance from the fence with some masts beyond. I could see the wind farm access track that mcna and pquinn572 must've taken coming up the other side of the hill.
The view of the rolling Tyrone countryside N and E was impressive. I could see Mullaghcarn, the higher Sperrins beyond and Owenreagh E of Strabane with its own wind farm. I could also make out Omagh and Strabane. The Bluestacks were visible but NW was hazy so I couldn't make out Muckish, Errigal etc. Return was by the same way, though this time I noticed an UW sign pointing downhill along the fence and I followed this until a sign pointed right again.
Ascent took about an hour (including head scratching and wrong turns) and descent a lot less. When I rejoined the road coming from Mountjoy, this time I took left and after a couple of miles came into Newtownstewart, with easy access back onto the A5 to Strabane. From N'stewart I took a brief detour to see the ruins of Harry Avery O'Neill's Castle (signposted) - definitely worth a look if you're in the area.

Four Seasons In A Day
27 Oct 2013
There were dire predictions of hurricane force winds on the forecasts, but it looked like we would miss the worst of it, so I decided to walk the nearby Bessy Bell. Besides, I had a new pair of cheap, waterproof over-trousers, and thought today would be a good test. I parked at Point C on the Cashty Road and set off up the gravel track to the summit in bright, warm sunshine.
On the way up I experienced all four seasons, By the time I reached the top, heavy rain was driving sideways in extremely strong winds. Using the tripod was impossible, and it was nearly impossible to even stand still for hand held photos. Views were obscured by low cloud and heavy rain, but it was easy to see they would be worth the climb on a good day. I'll just have to return for better shots.
Nice walk, and the trousers were great - reached home dry as a bone despite the stormy weather.

The Lure of Bessy
21 Dec 2013
On Monday 16/12/2013, as I headed to Donegal about three hrs behind schedule and with no intention of climbing anything. I was on the Omagh Derry road and couldn`t help but notice Bessy Bell in the distance, racking my brain I remembered mcna`s directions to a well maintained forestry path at GR
and eventually arrived at same. The lure of Bessy Bell had proved too much so it was on with the boots and upward I went. About 2mins up the path I noticed a muddy track on the right so I followed it uphill to the edge of the forest and at an area of rhodedendron bushes I turned left and followed a faint path and an old fence uphill after approx half a km I arrived at the first of the huge wind turbines that adorn Bessy. The Summit was easily visible from here so I made my way across some heathery boggy ground to a well maintained track and followed it more easily to the summit . Time taken from car to summit was 25 mins. Fantastic views to be had in all directions. Headed quickly back to car a total round trip of 4.39km and 47mins walking time ie according to my garmin 410 Ken!

18 Aug 2008
I started on the Cashty Rd and parked at the 2 white houses. I walked up the stone path through thick forest for around 1km. I then came to a cross roads and I turned up the hill and began a steady climb through a few corners to the wind farm, this was about 1 km uphill all the way. I followed the road on up passing the wind farm and the workmens cabin on up the road to the top and over to the pillar near the telecommunications mast. On a clear day you can enjoy great views of the Sperrins and views over baronscourt and the Derg Valley, also if you are lucky, you might be able to see Errigal and Muckish away in the north. A great walk, on a clear day.

Clear as a Bell
12 Nov 2011
There are plenty of access points on Bessy Bell which is criss-crossed with tracks to serve forestry and wind farms. Started at the track at
where there is loads of parking space.
Several signs warned of the danger of 'shooting in progress' but all was quiet at this stage! Follow the track northwards for around 5 minutes where it joins the uphill escalator straight to the summit. Already from here could see the communications mast at the summit and wind turbines turning lazily amongst the trees.
The track uphill is as straight as a die, with lifeless deciduous on one side and green pine on the other and a tumbling stream. Views are wide to the SW to the Bluestacks and as height is gained the high Derryveaghs come into sight. As the track enters an area of clearfell views open further to the N with the Urris Hills, Raghtin More and Slieve Snaght visible. The deep call of ravens echoed through the trees.
Coming out of the forest the wind turbines were fully visible. Two scramblers were making use of the tracks and a volley of shots came up from below - I kept looking back expected to see fireworks such was the noise (and it was the 4th of November!).
Ravens were soaring on the breeze around the summit and the communications mast was soon reached. The trig pillar is a short distance away. Views are extensive to the E to Mullaghcarn and up along the hills either side of the Glenelly valley, to the SW Cuilcaigh and the Sligo Hills and pretty much all the high hills from S to N Donegal - pretty damn good!
Return is pretty much the same way only quicker. Met a mountainbiker and some walkers with dogs but otherwise fairly quiet. In all took an hour and a quarter. NIce hill with easy access and brilliant views for not too much effort.

Nurse Nancy sometimes gets a bit frazzled. You would be too if you tried to put a feline-size condom on a tomcat.
You know, there's the sharp claws and teeth. The nurse might need a nurse by the time she's done.
In real life, Nurse Nancy goes by the name of Amy Angelilli, and she's the executive director of the Rocky Mountain Alley Cat Alliance, which operates The Feline Fix, a low-cost cat spaying and neutering clinic in Denver.
Angelilli appears in the comic role of the nurse in a series of online video clips. The tomcat condoms? They actually exist, but they're just a humorous way of getting a serious message out.
The series of Nurse Nancy clips is now available via three social media outlets. The purpose is to spread the word about birth control for pets.
"We just felt that we needed something that was funny, but still got the point across that the only way to prevent unwanted pet pregnancies and help fight the pet overpopulation problem was through spaying and neutering," says Angelilli.

I am a military veteran, a local legislator and the CEO of a company that works with the Department of Defense. I deeply understand the virtue of sacrifice, the benefit of a hard-won compromise and the dire situation that our national debt and the "fiscal cliff" present to our economy and to our national security.
I am reminded of the words my grandfather used to tell me: that when we are unable to change a situation, we must change ourselves. This is especially true today as the United States is awash in debt and our economy is hurtling toward perhaps the most inelegant deficit solution in the history of the republic: the combination of massive tax increases and spending cuts that make up the so-called fiscal cliff.
Now, more than ever, Americans must come together. The nation is counting on Congress and the White House to do what they have been unable to do for a decade: We are counting on a compromise.
It's difficult to comprehend how America has managed to accumulate $16 trillion worth of debt, but that is currently where we stand. Our debt is unsustainable, and it endangers the capital markets. The debt is a threat to the public programs that provide comfort to the sick, the elderly and the poor. The debt threatens our place as the world's superpower.
As of this writing, we owe $4 trillion to countries around the world like China and Saudi Arabia — more money than the federal government spends in a year. This will make maintaining our position as a global power nearly impossible. Additionally, the United States spent $454 billion on interest on the debt last year alone — more than on education, housing, transportation and agriculture combined.
I am a proud Democrat, and I am certain our debt is crowding out funding for the programs I strongly support. The debt jeopardizes the long-term sustainability of our Medicare and Medicaid obligations and threatens the welfare of thousands of Americans living in or near poverty. That's unacceptable. But if you are a Republican, the debt threatens your favored programs as well, such as maintaining a strong military or keeping tax rates low.
The national debt is a long-term problem, but the country faces a more immediate peril. The drastic measures scheduled to take place Jan. 1 total $600 billion in the first year alone and threaten to hurt millions of Americans. Should we fail to avert the fiscal cliff, our economy will contract by an annual basis of almost 4 percent in the first quarter next year, likely resulting in a double-dip recession.
The fiscal cliff is also capable of doing tremendous harm to small businesses. Today, I am holding off on hiring and capital investment. The blind cuts the fiscal cliff would trigger are short-sighted and would gravely affect mission-critical programs in the Defense Department, with whom I do business. Our country depends on this funding as matter of national security, and eliminating these resources is not only dangerous — it's un-American.
The problems we face are clear. Our leaders in both parties must lead. President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner are good Americans, and I have faith they will compromise in the name of moving America forward. I know they can agree on a plan that reins in spending, raises revenue and reforms entitlements.
But Washington, for all its power, cannot tackle these issues alone. Several months ago, I was asked by a group of national leaders on the federal budget to join their ranks in an effort to persuade Congress to compromise on issues relating to our national debt. The Campaign to Fix the Debt was founded by the chairmen of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson, a Republican, and former Clinton White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, a Democrat.
The campaign seeks to place America on a more sustainable economic course by ensuring leadership has the support it needs to address our country's short- and long-term fiscal challenges. I have given them my support, and I would urge you to do the same by visiting FixTheDebt.org to sign the campaign's citizens' petition that has more than 300,000 signatures to date.
Our debt is a serious problem that we cannot afford to neglect any longer. I know that we are capable of setting aside our differences for the greater good of our country. Join me as we set out to make the nation stronger. Join me as we fix the debt.
Jamie Benoit, a Democrat and member of the Anne Arundel County Council, is the CEO of Federal Data Systems Inc. and a member of the steering committee of the Maryland chapter of the Campaign to Fix the Debt.

for all of my kitchen adventures!
December 31, 2008 UPDATE
This has been such a fun project, but it's proved to be hard thing to keep updated!! While I will continue to use my cookbooks, (and add more to my collection), I will no longer be updating this list. I will keep this up, though, if you'd like to use it for reference! And I'm always up for suggestions for other cookbooks that you think I need.Make sure you are following me at
for all of my kitchen adventures!
December 31, 2008 UPDATE
The project was a success!! I was barely able to make it through - posting my last recipe on the last day of the December, 2008. What a fun project this was! So fun, in fact, that I will continue to update it with new recipes and cookbooks. Keep coming back to cook with me - or if you have any of the same cookbooks and want to suggest a particular recipe, I'm all ears!!
For 2008, I have made myself a goal to blog about at least one recipe from each of my cookbooks. I don't have as many cookbooks as some people, but I want to try to utilize the ones that I have. Below is a list of the cookbooks I own. I will add to the list as I get new cookbooks. If I have cooked from the cookbook, the link will lead to a list with blog entries from that cookbook.
I'm excited to see if I can make it through them! (Especially since I have been addicted to buying new ones!)

Subscribe To The Undying Pride, Prejudice And Zombies Adaptation Is Back On Updates
I've already subscribed
While Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter didn't exactly light up the box office or critics' eyes – though its worldwide gross of $116 million made it profitable – it hasn't taken away the popularity of Seth Grahame-Smith's novel, nor that of his first novel, the bestselling mash-up that birthed a sub-genre, Pride, Prejudice and Zombies.
In fact, the book is about to reach a whole new audience, for real this time, according to a press release reporting Panorama Media, Darko Entertainment, Handsomecharlie Films and Alison Shearmur are all coming together to produce a cinematic adaptation of Pride, Prejudice and Zombies. Even though David O. Russell had long since left the project as a director, going on to direct the Best Picture nominee Silver Linings Playbook, the screenplay he penned is the one being used for this project, which is currently seeking directors. If you'll recall, Craig Gillespie and Mike White were also involved with previous incarnations of the project before abandoning it. Natalie Portman has also been slated to start at one point, but now seems to simply be producing through her Handsomecharlie Films.
The plot behind Pride, Prejudice and Zombies is simple in its concept, but is successful in its execution. Essentially, Jane Austen's classic novel is invaded by the undead, and Elizabeth Bennett stands between survival and humanity's doom. With a strong female lead and Russell's name on it, don't be surprised if Jennifer Lawrence is one of the first names pumped out of the rumor mill.
With that many producers splitting costs, is it a sign of a quality script that no one can give up, or are they just spreading themselves thin to avoid big individual losses? I'd like to eat, er, pick their brains to find out.

Time for some more book gift ideas from the Cafe and Bookstore and here is a selection of novels that any book lover would enjoy. As always when there is a series I will share book one and that is the case for the first author Mary Anne Edwards and The Charlie McLung Mysteries... Here is the first book in the series – Brilliant Disguise.
About the book
Are you sure you could tell the difference between murder and suicide?
Having had more than enough of the big city, Detective Charlie McClung moves to a small town looking for a simpler life. Turns out his first case is the most complicated of his career.
A young woman is found shot and while everyone is telling him suicide, his gut, and the dead woman's beautiful neighbor, are telling him something quite different.
How far can he dig before he uncovers secrets never meant to be unearthed? Throw in a shady police chief and an unexpected love interest and McClung quickly finds himself with more trouble than he ever imagined.
One of the 100 reviews for the book
This story has it all. Murder, mystery, crime, drama, love and a great whodunit. I absolutely love reading a great whodunit and Mary Anne has achieved that in this book. This is a clean murder mystery with romance. I enjoyed reading about the main characters Charlie and Marian. They are characters both in their 40s. Charlie is a big city detective that moves to a small Georgia town to find solace and relax. There he meets Marian. Marian is a widow. Charlie investigates the death of Marian's neighbor which looks to be apparent suicide. I loved this cozy mystery. I read it all in one evening.
This story was so intriguing. I couldn't stop reading. This is a must read. Mary Anne did a great job keeping me guessing. This book contained twists and turns, suspense and kept me wanting to read until I was finished. It was refreshing to read a book that I could relate to. I loved watching Moonlighting, Remington Steele and Scarecrow and Mrs. King. This story reminded me of those TV programs. I'm a huge mystery buff. I laughed, was puzzled, cheered on Charlie and Marian and can't wait to read the next book in this series. If you enjoy a good whodunit, mystery, suspense, touch of romance, clean read, you'll absolutely love this mystery. Kudos to Mary Anne and her brilliant storytelling!

The next author is Diana J. Febry with the first book in her DCI Peter Hatherall Mysteries – The Skeletons of Birkbury again perfect for mystery lovers this Christmas.
About the book
When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in Birkbury, the villagers close ranks. Gossip turns to fear and suspicion as they realize the killer is one of them and is prepared to kill again.
DCI Peter Hatherall must fight his past and class divisions to find the killer.
All must decide which secrets are worth dying for.
A recent review for the book
The novel is a cold case detective story focusing on a dead girl who vanished twenty years earlier. This lends the story a slower pace than if it had been a recent murder, but that's okay. In the small, slightly suffocating, rural community, we have plenty of suspects, and you'll take against one or two right from the off. We certainly get a lot of detail about each character, possibly to make them all seem important (and therefore worthy of our suspicion), and we hop between points of view, even within a scene. The detectives work well together, although their off-topic back stories occasionally took centre stage, which may not suit an impatient mystery fan. All in all, a good mystery that keeps you guessing until the end.

The next author with books in a series is Judy Penz Sheluk and here is book one of The Marketville Mysteries – Skeletons in the Attic. Some of the books have been re-released with new covers.
About the book
Calamity (Callie) Barnstable isn't surprised to learn she's the sole beneficiary of her late father's estate, though she is shocked to discover she has inherited a house in the town of Marketville—a house she didn't know he had. However, there are conditions attached to Callie's inheritance: she must move to Marketville, live in the house, and solve her mother's murder.
Callie's not keen on dredging up a thirty-year-old mystery, but if she doesn't do it, there's a scheming psychic named Misty Rivers who hopes to expose the Barnstable family secrets herself. Determined to thwart Misty and fulfill her father's wishes, Callie accepts the challenge. But is she ready to face the skeletons hidden in the attic?
One of the reviews for the book
As an (ignorant) American, I hadn't realized that Canada had tried the Prohibition experiment too, and earlier than the U.S. Just a throwaway comment grousing about the government-run liquor stores made me take a second to check Wikipedia. That this well-written tale of a missing mother made me think and learn beyond following the clues was my own first clue that this was going to be an extra-enjoyable read–or, listen, in this case, as I allowed narrator Claira Jordyn to read aloud while I enjoyed breakfast and other otherwise non-brain activities. Intriguing premise, logical clue-following research (including hours in the library), and a surprise ending.

Rumours fly about a papyrus scroll. A ruthless Catholic Brotherhood will stop at nothing in their hunt for a hidden sect. And a reclusive billionaire has the chance of a lifetime to get his revenge.
Jotham is kidnapped, tortured and on the run. He races from Italy to England to Sweden. But the body count continues to rise and so does the heat in this non-stop thriller that will leave you breathless.
FEATURING: a fast-paced and gripping plot, chase sequences, Italian police, mysterious historical events and an ending that you won't see coming.
Don't miss this action-packed thriller! Discover the secret that will change the world.
There are three other books in this series – enjoy Jotham Fletcher's continuing story.
Book 2: THE ROCK OF MAGUS – Code Red in the Vatican
Book 3: THE MAGUS EPIPHANY – Ancient treasures and a new revelation
Book 4: HOLY SPEAR OF MAGUS – The covenant will be fulfilled
One of the reviews for the book
Anglican Priest Jotham Fletcher is due to give a lecture about Simon Magnus at the church in Rome where Magnus died. Magnus was the leader of a religious cult that is thought to have vanished around 400 AD. When a mysterious robed man is found murdered at the church not long before the lecture, Jotham becomes the main suspect.
As rumours surface about a papyrus scroll mentioning Magnus, things get worse and more dead bodies start to appear. Jotham gets kidnapped and tortured and ends up on the run, a journey that takes him across Europe. Meanwhile his Lover Antonella might know more about what is going on than she admits.
It's up to Jotham to fit the pieces of the puzzle together and find out what the Brotherhood, a religious order that will stop at nothing to protect their beliefs, has to do with it all? And did the Simonean Sect really cease to exist or are they somehow also involved? And can Iago Visser, the rich reclusive billionaire friend of Antonella, be trusted or does he have his own agenda?
This is a thoroughly enjoyable story full of action and adventure. The plot is well developed, gripping, fast-paced and suspenseful with unexpected twists and turns. The characters were interesting, not superhuman as in some action and adventure stories and all the more realistic because of it.
The book fits into the same genre as Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" or "Angels and Demons". I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a good action and adventure novel.

The Galleria, stylized theGalleria or the Houston Galleria, is an upscale mixed-use urban development centrally located in the Uptown District of Houston, Texas, United States.[2][3][4][5] The development consists of a retail complex, as well as the Galleria Office Towers complex,[6] two Westin hotels, and a private health club. The office towers and hotels are separately owned and managed from the shopping center.
With 3 million total square feet of space that includes 2.4 million of gross leasable area with over 375 stores, the Galleria is the largest mall in Texas and eighth-largest in the United States.[7][8] It is currently anchored by Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Macy's.
The idea of an indoor shopping center with a hotel was envisioned in the 1940s by oilman Glenn H. McCarthy where a second phase was to include the Shamrock Hotel; this concept was scrapped right after the Hilton Hotel franchise took over the Shamrock in 1955. Glenn H. McCarthy's abandoned concept would influence Gerald Hines in the late 1960s.[9][10]
The Galleria was developed by Gerald D. Hines, opening on November 16, 1970.[1] The new shopping center, anchored by Neiman Marcus, was modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, borrowing, as its most distinctive architectural feature, a glazed barrel vault spanning the central axis of the mall. When it opened the mall had 600,000 ft² (56,000 m²) of retail space. The original skylights — which graced among other things a large, floor-level, ice rink, open year round - had three hanging chandeliers along with the incorporation of the Houston Oaks Hotel (now The Westin Oaks Houston).[citation needed]
The first expansion, known as Galleria II, was completed in 1976 and added 360,000 ft² (33,000 m²) of retail space on two levels, as well as Lord & Taylor and Frost Bros. Marshall Field's joined the mall in 1979, in a store designed by noted architect Philip Johnson. Galleria II included office space (known as the Galleria Financial Center since the early 1990s) and a second hotel, the Galleria Plaza Hotel (now The Westin Galleria Houston). In 1986, a second expansion, Galleria III, opened with a new wing to the west of Marshall Field's, anchored by Macy's. This brought the mall to almost 1.6 million ft².[citation needed]
In February 1989 the Galleria was 93% occupied, making it the mall with the fifth highest percentage of occupied space in the Houston area.[11]
Marshall Field's sold its store to Saks Fifth Avenue in 1996, while the mall itself was sold by Hines Interests in 1999 to a partnership of Urban Shopping Centers, Inc. and institutional funds advised by Walton Street Capital, LLC. The Walton Street affiliated funds separately purchased the office and hotel buildings at this time. Urban, in turn, was purchased by Netherlands-headquartered real estate investment group Rodamco North America, N.V. in 2000. Rodamco sold part of its stake in 2001 to the real estate investment arm of CalPERS as it tried to thwart a hostile takeover by a consortium including The Westfield Group and Simon Property Group. Ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the buyout, Rodamco's ownership interest and management operation of the mall was acquired by Simon Property Group in early 2002.
During all these rapid ownership changes, development continued on a third expansion of the shopping center, known as Galleria IV. Completed in March 2003, it added Script error: No such module "convert". to the south, anchored by Nordstrom and Foley's, as well as an additional 70 stores. Upon completion of Galleria IV, the shopping mall totaled 2.4 million ft² (220,000 m²) of retail space which include many high-end boutiques, such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Kate Spade, Cartier, Carolina Herrera, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Jimmy Choo, Bvlgari, Valentino, Coach, Fendi, Chanel, Christofle, Tiffany & Co. Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry, Versace, Prada, and Tory Burch.
In January 2005, Lord & Taylor closed their store, with its former space being partially demolished and incorporated into the mall as an additional 100,000 ft² (9,300 m²) of retail space that opened in August 2006. This redevelopment included a Kona Grill, Oceanaire Seafood Room, Del Frisco's Steakhouse, Gigi's Asian Bistro, and nine other retail stores. During the reconstruction, some of the former Lord & Taylor infrastructure was recycled although a section of catwalks dating back to the Galleria II's 1976 expansion was demolished; this trend was similar to the Galleria IV's expansion in 2002.
In 2005, after the merger of the parent companies of Macy's and Foley's, it was announced that the Macy's store would close and that the Foley's would be renamed Macy's. The Foley's was renamed in September 2006, but the original Macy's continues to operate, both as separate full-line department stores.
Forbes ranked the Galleria as one of the world's best shopping malls.[12]
The first Tesla Motors and only Prada stores in Texas are located in the Galleria.[13]
Anchors and stores
With 35 million annual visitors, The Galleria has constantly been named the most visited attraction in Greater Houston.[14] Department stores and other tenants earn their highest sales in the Houston area at the Galleria.
- Macy's (250,000 sq ft., opened 2003 as Foley's, became Macy's in 2006)
- Neiman Marcus Flagship Store (224,000 sq ft., opened 1969)
- Nordstrom Houston Flagship Store (226,000 sq ft., opened 2003)
- Saks Fifth Avenue Flagship Store (210,000 sq ft., opened 1979 as Marshall Field's, closed 1996 and reopened as Saks Fifth Avenue in 1997)
Dillard's, which technically is not a part of the Galleria, is located across the street from Neiman Marcus. The store is linked to the Galleria by a pedestrian crosswalk (with a pedestrian-only traffic light at Post Oak Boulevard). This locations ranks constantly among the highest grossing for Dillard's.
Macy's (Galleria III) (262,600 sq ft., opened 1986, redubbed in 2006 as "Macy's at Sage") permanently closed in April 2014.[15] Galleria III was demolished and is being rebuilt as a new wing with Saks Fifth Avenue as anchor. The existing Saks will be repurposed as part of the new Galleria III wing.
Surrounding the Galleria are other upscale shopping centers such as BLVD Place, Uptown Collection, Uptown Park, Rice Village, and Highland Village that feature similar stores and retail mix.
Lodging, offices and entertainment
The Galleria includes a Script error: No such module "convert". ice skating facility with Script error: No such module "convert". x Script error: No such module "convert". rink. The rink, known as "Polar Ice" and originally built in 1970, was the first ever built inside a mall.[16] The rink is positioned below the mall's central glass atrium which was originally added by Hines to increase the visibility of the stores in the lower level.[17] There is a jogging track on the roof around the atrium with a view to this rink. About 50 restaurants and specialty food stores at all prices and service points are located throughout the Galleria complex.
Two Westin hotels are also located directly in the Galleria complex, The Westin Galleria and the Westin Oaks (prior to 1984, both hotels were known as the Galleria Plaza Hotel and Houston Oaks Hotel when Westin Hotels and Resorts was known as Western International Hotels).
The Galleria has three office towers with Galleria Financial Center acting as the hub of the mall where the shops and offices share a common atrium with glass elevators and offices overlooking the main below. The Galleria Financial Center is occupied by many financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch, UBS AG, Citigroup, law offices, financial services companies and energy trading companies. The other to office buildings are Post Oak Tower,[18] and the Galleria Tower additionally Williams Tower is also connected by a walkway.

Representations of activities dealing with the development or maintenance of software are called software process models. Process models allow for communication, reasoning, guidance, improvement, and automation. Two approaches for building, instantiating, and managing processes, namely CoMo-Kit and MVP-E, are combined to build a more powerful one. CoMo-Kit is based on AI/KE technology; it was developed for supporting complex design processes and is not specialized to software development processes. MVP-E is a process-sensitive software engineering environment for modeling and analyzing software development processes, and guides software developers. Additionally, it provides services to establish and run measurement programmes in software organizations. Because both approaches were developed completely independently major integration efforts are to be made to combine their both advantages. This paper concentrates on the resulting language concepts and their operationalization necessary for building automated process support.
In this paper, we present an approach to support distributed planning and scheduling, as well as the subsequent (also distributed) plan execution, in one system. The system will support the distributed planners and schedulers by providing task agendas for them, stating who needs to plan which tasks, and sending change notifications and warnings, if a planning or scheduling decision needs to be updated. The plan built using these mechanisms is then enacted by a workflow engine in the same system. This approach enables us to support interleaved planning and plan enactment, allowing the user to change the plan and schedule while the project is already under way. Deviations of the actual project enactment from the plan and schedule can automatically be detected, and necessary notifications will be sent to the concerned planner(s). This again facilitates the task of keeping the plan up to date, avoiding the complete invalidation of the plan as is often the case in conventional projects soon after enactment has started.

The Best Way to Deal With Health Issues for Medical Tourism
Medical tourism is really a relative term for any bigger scenario later on. Becoming an time tested practice, medical tourism has changed to an amount that everybody is looking and researching for any suitable medical tourism program.
