Christmas Town: Chapter Fourteen
So, Jordan has land that is worth millions. Over the next few years, as construction gets started, the land will be worth many millions.
He made the mistake of telling Venita, who is now giving him a guilt trip.
Well, it has been nearly three days since anyone in town tried to guilt him.
He shouldn't have told her about his deal going through.
Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.
She didn't understand that he didn't have any ready cash on hand. Besides, he could hardly take his own money to cover somebody else's mistakes. Could he? Nobody would expect him to do that. Would they?
Even God couldn't have had that in mind.
I'm pretty sure God figures you can suck it, Jordan.
"Is the money that important, Jordie?"
"I'd be broke. Ruined."
"Like Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Truman, you mean?"
The dry disappointment in her voice ate at him.
Oh, do you guys want to know where MISTERS Mitchell and Truman are, right now? They're at "the holiday luncheon at their club."
They gambled away the retirement fund, ruined everyone's lives, and they still have a "club"??? Where is this club? Do these two asshats have any idea what they've done? Do they honestly feel no accountability whatsoever?
It is so sad for Jordan that not even Venita is on his side. Even knowing the truth, as she does, she still can't bring herself to think even one negative thought about those two old fools.
"Listen," he said, hoping to appeal to Venita's reasonable nature, "I've been talking to my attorney. He says nobody's going to lock up anybody their age. The worst that will happen is that everything will be liquidated to—"
Geez, then why have you been carrying on all this time, Jordan??? Holy crap.
"The worst that will happen is that two dear, kind men will end their lives in disgrace, when all they've ever wanted was to do right by everyone."
What was it Nathan had called his father? A creep?
Wo! Language, young man!
If the shoe fits… "Venita—"
"I thought they'd taught you that, too. I was obviously mistaken."
She leveled one final, searing look on him and left.
Wow. I never thought I'd say this, but frak you, Venita.
This town…there really must be something in the water. Honestly, Venita, how dare you. How frakking dare you? This guy has put his life on hold, done his best for everyone, and everyone just keeps shitting on him.
It really bothers me that nobody gives a shit what Mitchell and Truman have done. Har-har, I guess if you're a silly, blustery old man, if you do enough glad-handing and berate sheriffs about "important" little boys, everyone will forgive you every stupid, life-ruining action you ever take. And we're on the second-to-last chapter, so I have a sinking feeling that they will get off scot-free, with absolutely no consequences whatsoever for their idiotic asshattedness.
But maybe not!
Jordan has a plan!
He put the image of his father and his uncle out of his mind as he headed out the door.
Frak them both, Jordan! They do not deserve you!
He heads right over to Joella's house…
And hey, guess what?
You'll never believe this!
Joella is Not Impressed.
"And everybody else in Bethlehem? What about them, Jordan?"
Some of his boyish enthusiasm faded. "I can't save everybody. But—"
"I don't need saving, not the way you mean it," she said, jerking beyond his reach, rejecting the tempting warmth and comfort. "You know, the Bible is right. It would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it would be for somebody like you to realize that money can't buy the things I really want for Nathan."
He just said he LOVES Nathan, you sanctimonious frakker. Look, if you don't love him and don't want to marry him, then fine, but there's no call for such personal nastiness.
But Joella's just getting started. She could not possibly hold Jordan in more contempt:
"You know, all you've ever seen me wearing is blue jeans and flannel shirts. That's not because I can't afford glittery dresses and diamond earrings. It's because I don't need them. I don't want them. I want more important things than that. And you've got so much money you'll never be able to see that."
Well. I guess just excuuuuse the hell out of Jordan, little princess.
Oh, don't get Joella wrong. She feels really bad about saying these things. After all, she married a bsuinessman before, and all businessmen are the same, so if she marries the kind, gentle man who's been so good to her and her son, it will obviously be just like before.
Jesus, she doesn't even make the excuse of "I have to lie to him to drive him away." Joella is a Christian and thus does not lie. The things she said "were true and they had to be said."
Cruel to be kind, except Joella is not beng kind to Jordan. She's being kind to herself. She doesn't want a rich man, so even though Jordan can no more help being rich than she can help being working-class, she tells him so.
"But Joella, that's what I am. That's what I have to offer you."
She smiled, her heart breaking for him.
YOU are breaking his heart, Joella. Go ahead and do it, but you do NOT get to feel bad about his pain when YOU are the one making that pain as painful as possible.
"You have much more than that. You just haven't figured it out yet. And with all that money, you probably never will."
"Sorry I'm so much of a better person than you are, Jordan. Just let me twist the knife a bit as a parting gift."
Why didn't you listen to me, Jordan?
Well, Nathan already knows how to poke around in other people's desks, and now he shows he knows how to listen in on others' conversations. His mother tells the reverend about Jordan asking her to marry him, and Nathan just so happens to overhear.
Go figure.
Hmmm, I wonder if Joella told the good reverend about how she insulted Jordan for things that are in no way his fault, and how she ripped out his heart and danced on it.
Probably not.
Nathan is no fan of the idea of the marriage, either:
…he'd seen how mean and unfeeling his dad was, and it was clear to Nathan that, no matter how Jordan acted, the two men were just alike. They dressed the same, didn't they? They were both rich, weren't they? And his mom had been so softhearted that she'd fallen for both of them, hadn't she?
Yanno, I can think of a lot of words to describe Joella, but "softhearted" is not one of them.
Also, I'd just like to point out that Joella and Nathan use the exact same "logic" when it comes to Jordan.
In other words, Joella has the reasoning skills of a seven-year-old.
And that one phrase just says it all, doesn't it? No matter how Jordan acted. No matter how many Christmas trees he buys, or how many hours he spends with Nathan, or how kind and loving he is to Joella, no matter what he says or does, he will always be That Rich Asshole.
And The Brat decides that he is in charge of everyone's lives, so goes to have it out with Jordan:
"You can't marry my mom."
"'Cause I know what you did."
"And what is that?"
"About stealing the retirement money. I'm the one who found out and told Mom."
Intelligence is this kid's Informed Attribute. Yet it still doesn't occur to him, even for a second, that anyone other than Jordan might be responsible for the loss of the money, even though Jordan hasn't so much as set foot in Bethlehem for years until last month.
Jordan has no intention of playing Nice Guy, and tells Nathan that his mom said no, and he has no intention of pursuing her.
But Nathan is an evil little brat, let us never forget:
"But just in case, I think you ought to tell her you changed your mind. 'Cause if you don't, I can see to it that everybody in town, maybe in the whole state, will know that you're a crook and you stole all our retirement money."
Hmmm, how to describe this kid?
Harrow: I know him, and I think he's a psychotic lowlife.
Mal: And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community.
-Firefly, "Shindig"
Instead of fleeing from this junior scumbag, or at lack smacking him upside the head, Jordan actually keeps talking.
Yeah, something's definitely in the water. And Jordan's drunk it:
After all, as good-hearted as his parents had been, all the money had made it impossible for Jordan to feel that in his heart when he was growing up. The money always got in the way.
Ah yes, the sound message of this Christian novel: Rich people can't be loving parents.
Look, your parents kinda sucked, Jordan. And they would have sucked whether they were rich or poor. But let's be clear about a few things: the fact that the other kids hated you wasn't because you were rich; it was because they were jerks. Same thing now: folks in the town hate you not because you're rich, but because they are judgmental jerks.
So Jordan enlists Nathan's help with a plan. Looks like we're back to the great theme of Twas the Night Before: woman is perfect as is, man must change. Except instead of changing by starting to believe in a really real Santa Claus, Jordan must change to become not-rich.
Yeah, the last chapter is going to be a frakking blast.
I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I've said "frak" a lot in this chapter.
Oh well.
Merry Frakking Christmas.

And a frelling happy new year to you!
Ha-a-a-a-a-a-ng on a minute.
I thought Jordan's plan – to dignify it beyond its desserts – was to assert that he was the one who'd stolen all the money.
So when the brat plans to spread the word that he's done that… what's the problem? Sure, kid, go ahead, it's the same story I'm going to tell when the cops arrive.
Since you started it, I am more and more seeing Jordan like this poor guy.
No matter how hard they both try to do the right thing it is clear that the universe hates them completely.
Also, what the frak Venita? You don't "try to do right" by someone and then embezzle their retirement money.
Finally, Joella, if you can afford diamonds and fancy dresses as you implied then why aren't you helping hold things together, huh?
I think I hate everyone in this town. Seriously. I didn't quite hate Joella before mostly because I thought she was too insipid a character to really hate, but now? Everyone in this book but Jordan freaking deserves each other, they're all so horrible.
I know. At this point, the only happy ending I'd recognize is Jordan going "Screw you all, you horrible people." and hopping a flight back to his life and his successful stadium deal.
I think Ruby might just finish Christmas Town before Christmas! It's a genyooine Christmas miracle!
Holy shit.
Can anyone explain to me how it is that the Uncle Billy's fuckup and the mill's failure is Jordan's fault? I mean, using actual logic, not town of Christian hate logic. Actually, you know, I can't even figure out town of Christian hate's logic.
And is this book really saying that being rich (nebulously defined) is, itself, evil? Whut. While simultaneously featuring rather greedy supposedly sympathetic people? And letting people off the hook for fucking loosing their worker's retirement money? What the hell is going on here? This book's morals seem to be twisted beyond all recovery.
I just realized that I hate every character in this book besides Jordan. He's the only one who isn't a complete jerk. If this book were written better, and didn't have to follow the standard Christian Romance novel formula, it would end with Jordan leaving the town and all these assholes for good.
I'm sorry to heap some criticism on Jordan, FSM knows he's gotten plenty. But I have to ask, why does the guy who was just leaping at the chance to go to jail in place of his father and uncle now being prissy about spending his money to make sure no one goes to jail? Was he assuming that no part of his sentence would be to strip him dry to get some money back, and that his sentence would be short enough that he'd soon be back out and free to spend all his money? What I'm saying is, why does Jordan think it totally unreasonable to spend his own money to cover someone elses mistakes, but never doubts going to prison to cover those mistakes is reasonable?
Also, exactly what is the money supposed to fix? The retirement fund, the mill's immediate situation or both?
Okay, that's enough for poor Jordan, on to the other asshats.
Yeah, evidentally uncle and daddy are ruined, as they are kicking back in their exclusive little club. Oh no, they couldn't be asked to cancel that, or tap the old boys network for a little cash.
We are now supposed to feel sorry that two men who fucked up the mill and fucked up the retirment fund will be publicly known for fucking up the mill and fucking the retirment fund. Oh, well, they didn't mean to? Well, that's all right then.
Mangling of the camel-needle quote notwithstanding, that little note your brat send to his dad asking for computers and tickets kind of undermines your point even before you take into account that he's done all the immaterial things for Nathan too.
And it's funny, we've seen RTC fiction cheer on assholes with financial success with all the enthousiasm of Ayn Rand (Edge of Apocalypse is the worst offender), and the one time we get one that does remember all the rallying Jesus did against the rich, it's underserved.
The older the man, the more important it is that he be Respected?
What I'm saying is, why does Jordan think it totally unreasonable to spend his own money to cover someone elses mistakes, but never doubts going to prison to cover those mistakes is reasonable?
It's The Plot getting to him. He's been stuck in this book and town too long. He's changing, illogic is winning over and he'll soon no longer be the man he was at the beginning.
Though his objection that it's not like he has the money available right now despite the deal looking good to go, well, that's not unreasonable. Big deals take time and time is one thing the town doesn't have. However much stalling he does, it's not enough. In a better piece the rush up to deadline and the frantic effort to push it back could be pretty interesting, but it seems to have gotten lost in Joella's (and the town's) ongoing self-righteous fit, and Nathan the Devourer of Wordcount.

Fairfield County roster full of "real football players"
TRUMBULL -- The last time Bryan Boderick put on pads and a football helmet, it was last November for Stamford High School's annual Thanksgiving game against Westhill.
Nearly eight months later, Boderick and 27 other players from Fairfield County will return to the field for Saturday's 16th annual Hall of Fame Classic against the New Haven County All-Stars at Ken Strong Stadium in West Haven.
"I'm pretty rusty and trying to get the hang of this new offense," said Boderick, the former Black Knights quarterback who will be playing next year at Monroe Junior College in New Rochelle, along with his twin brother, Barry, another Fairfield County All Star. "It's like freshman year all over again."
Fairfield County won last year's game, 34-14, though New Haven leads the summer series, 10-5.
Fairfield County coach John Svatik of Stratford said that he was unconcerned by losing 12 of his original 40 players to various conflicts and illness.
"It's not a problem when you have good kids," Svatik said. "The kids here are the ones that are important. They've been willing to do what we ask. They are real football players."
Boderick had two solid seasons starting for Stamford and is hoping to make a strong impression playing with many of the best recently graduated seniors in the state.
"I want to make a big statement," he said. "I've been picking things up pretty quickly. I'm a fast learner when it comes to football."
Another of Fairfield County's top players is former Greenwich defensive lineman Kyle Camacho, whose last appearance was against Staples on Thanksgiving.
"It hasn't been too bad getting into it," said Camacho, who will be prepping for a year at Milford Academy. "The heat's a little crazy, but it is never too bad putting the pads back on again. That's why you work out. We are the best and we have to prove we are the best. That's why we are here. That's why we were selected."
Camacho said the rigor of playing under the summer sun has been offset by the humor that comes when former opponents become teammates.
"The first two or three days here I was talking to some of the McMahon guys," Camacho said. "They remembered me and said that I talked a lot of junk. I'm a talker. We reminisced about plays we could have made here or there. It's fun."
Sometimes the game allows for an unheralded player to step into the spotlight. That is the case of Dylan Moye, a wide receiver and defensive back who played for a Westhill team that went 0-10 and lost just one game by fewer than 21 points.
Moye went largely unnoticed, but he said he will spend a year at UConn-Stamford to get his grades up before transferring to play at Hampton University. Moye played wide receiver and cornerback for the Vikings, and will play in the defensive backfield for Hampton.
"This game is a good opportunity for me," Moye said. "It was definitely a struggle at Westhill. It was frustrating knowing you have the potential to do more but the offense struggled. You know you have the talent and that you are better than the record says. I just want to play well. At this level the game is mental."
Svatik said he remembered Moye from when his Stratford team scrimmaged Westhill in the preseason.
"The kid makes plays," Svatik said. "Sometimes the kids who get the publicity are the ones that play for the good teams. There are a lot of good players who don't get as much attention because their team's records are not as good. He is well known to us."
While the perception by some is that the Hall of Fame game is really more of a showcase than a competitive rivalry, Svatik said that is in conflict with the nature of the sport.
"All games are big," Svatik said. "That's the very spirit of the sport. We've already had eight practices and the guys are really working hard. They play the game for pride. Self pride. They have a lot of it."

Dr. Carine M. Feyten named chancellor and president of Texas Woman's University
Carine M. Feyten
DENTON/DALLAS/HOUSTON — The Texas Woman's University Board of Regents today voted unanimously to name Carine M. Feyten, Ph.D., chancellor and president of TWU, the nation's largest university primarily for women."My fellow regents and I are confident Dr. Feyten has the vision and qualities to lead the university into the future," said Sue S. Bancroft, chair and presiding officer of the TWU Board of Regents. "She will be a strong leader for TWU, and we look forward to working with her."
Dr. Feyten officially will begin her tenure as TWU's second chancellor and 11th president on July 1. She succeeds Dr. Ann Stuart, who is retiring after 14 years as chancellor and president of the university.
"I am elated and humbled at this opportunity to collaborate with the talented faculty, students and staff at Texas Woman's University who have already accomplished significant milestones in the areas of education, health care, liberal arts, the sciences, diversity, leadership and service," said Dr. Feyten. "I also appreciate the examples of leadership and collegiality I experienced at Miami University. They will be a positive influence as I embrace the potential and pioneering spirit of TWU's community. My husband Chad and I are looking forward to contributing to the pioneering spirit so prevalent in the great state of Texas."
TWU Regent George Schrader, who led the national search for the new chancellor and president, praised Dr. Feyten's focus on the future of higher education.
"She understands what students need to know to become workforce ready and how to teach them. Dr. Feyten thinks globally and has an international perspective," Mr. Schrader said.
Founded in 1901, TWU is a public university with an enrollment of approximately 15,000 students on campuses in Denton, Dallas and Houston. TWU offers more than 140 undergraduate, master's and doctoral degree programs in the liberal arts, nursing, health sciences, business, the sciences and education.
Dr. Feyten joins TWU after serving as dean of the College of Education, Health and Society at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, since 2006. The university has an enrollment of 17,550 students on its main campus and a total of 23,390 students over three campuses. The college of EHS includes 65 undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs, an enrollment close to 3,000 students (graduate and undergraduate) on the main campus, 197 faculty and a total revenue budget of $43 million, excluding external grants, gifts and endowments.
Her many accomplishments include:
• Developing and launching a strategic plan focused on a holistic and sustainable approach to all aspects of administrative, faculty and student well-being;
• Leading a capital campaign that has raised more than $27 million, well above its goal of $15 million;
• Increasing enrollment and retention rates in the college, resulting in a 90 percent average retention from freshman to sophomore in the past few years;
• Attaining a college graduation rate of 81 percent, among the highest on campus;
• Significantly increasing external grant funding obtained by the college, including a $1.5 million grant as the principal investigator;
• Earning recognition from the White House for the college's commitment to service learning and community engagement;
• Establishing strong relationships with the Ohio Governor's Office and officials at the state level; and
• Leading multiple successful accreditation efforts.
"Carine has provided exceptionally committed, creative and collaborative leadership. She has been a champion of the innovative use of technology and the importance of an integrative, holistic approach to improving the lives of young people. She has provided strong leadership across the university in many critical committees. We are grateful for all that she has done to significantly strengthen both the College of Education, Health, and Society and Miami University. We wish her well in her service to TWU," said David Hodge, Miami University President.
"Dean Feyten has been such a powerful leader for all people on our campus here and such a great role model for our young women. I'm so pleased to hear that we'll have a champion like her among us in the world of women's colleges – though as I write that I also feel an instant pang of loss for Miami," said Maggie Patrick, associate director of annual giving at Miami University and herself a graduate of a women's college.
Dr. Feyten's research interests include listening, language learning/teaching methodologies and the integration of technology in education. She has authored or co-authored more than 100 journal articles, conference papers and book chapters, and is an internationally recognized consultant and speaker.
She has held national offices in her field and won many awards, including the Florence Steiner Award for Leadership in Foreign Language Education-Postsecondary from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
Prior to being named a dean at Miami University, Dr. Feyten served as associate dean of academic affairs in the College of Education at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She also has taught undergraduate, master's and doctoral-level courses in foreign language education, second language acquisition, applied linguistics and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). She has been recognized internationally, nationally and at the regional and statewide levels for her leadership, teaching and research.
Dr. Feyten holds a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Education, Second Language Acquisition from the University of South Florida, and an M.A. in English, Dutch, Education and a B.A. in Germanic Philology, both from the Université Catholique Louvain in Belgium. A native of Belgium, she is fluent in five languages.

Reggie Wayne's Ex is Spending His Cash
The NFL off-season has been accompanied by some pretty strange story lines when it comes to Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne. Last year, Wayne showed up to training camp riding in a dump truck sporting construction gear — signaling that the Colts were beginning their construction of the road to the Super Bowl. I guess it worked in a way, as the Colts did indeed reach the Super Bowl. However, as we all remember, Peyton choked on the final drive of the game and Drew Brees went on to continue being the man long after the Super Bowl had ended.
The news surrounding Wayne this off-season is not exactly light-hearted and humorous like it was a year ago. The receiver missed the start of OTAs because he is busy trying to get back the $95,000 that his ex-girlfriend allegedly spent using his debit and credit cards without authorization.
The woman, Natasha McKenzie, told radio station WXIN-59 that Wayne knew all about the money she was spending and gave her the information so she could do it. That story has since changed with detectives saying McKenzie admitted to using the card without authorization when she was interviewed. Authorities searched her home yesterday and seized three TV sets and some other electronic equipment, so obviously she did something wrong. If the story that she told the radio station were indeed true, one can only hope that Reggie broke it off with her. She'd be a bit silly to break up with a guy who lets her use his credit cards for anything she wants to the tune of almost $100,000, don't you think?

A second strike by train guards is again wreaking havoc for people using the Virgin Cross Country service in the North East.
Virgin is one of nine companies involved in the dispute with the Rail Maritime and Transport Union over the role of guards on trains.
On Friday only 20 per cent of the Cross Country service, which links the North East with the East Midlands and South East, was running.
And the RMT is hoping for a similar result from today's walkout with a further 24-hour strike being planned for April 17.
Steve Bence, operations director at the Association of Train Operating Companies, said the 20 per cent running on Friday was still 10 per cent more than was expected.

Florida Cardiologists Meet with Lawmakers and Congressional Staff in Washington
Robert C. Hendel, M.D., professor of medicine, radiology and interim Chief of the Cardiovascular Division, was part of a delegation of Florida cardiologists who met with members of Congress and their staff in Washington, D.C.
The meeting was held as part of the 2014 American College of Cardiology Legislative Conference, which took place September 14-16. The conference provided an opportunity for the group to inform members of Congress, Capitol Hill staff and other policymakers on issues within the medical and cardiovascular community and to share the transformative work that's being done during a period of rapid change.
The delegation met with many lawmakers, including the staff of Senators Bill Nelson (D-Florida) and Marco Rubio (R-Florida), and with U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Florida), whom Hendel described as highly engaged in the discussion and excited to display her connection with the "U," her alma mater. These discussions centered on the optimal and appropriate use of cardiovascular technology, the need for more medical residencies and fellowship opportunities in Florida, and a desire to stabilize the environment of cardiology practice.
"This type of activity is critical to keep our lawmakers apprised of the contemporary issues in cardiovascular care that physicians face nationally and in South Florida," said Hendel, who serves on the American College of Cardiology's Board of Trustees. "It is fabulous to have such an engaged physician community and to recognize that our policymakers are keenly interested in the delivery of care for our patients."

As most of you know, Hurricane Sandy caused a lot of devastation in the North East, more than anyone had predicted and to a scale that was unprecedented in the area. Our office is located in midtown manhattan, an area that luckily did not experience major flooding but had a power outage that lasted all of last week. This kept us from coming in but we did our best to work from home. Now that our power was switched back on, we are happy to say that we are back in the office and business goes on.
Other than loss of power in our homes, we at the office were lucky to not suffer any more consequences. But this is not the case for many other people in the Northeast; homes were ruined, infrastructure was damaged, people were hurt, and in some very sad cases, lives were lost. Let's all do our part and help by donated food, clothing, diapers, money, and anything else that would help to any people who have been forced to go without these cold November weeks.

text: The only way out… is in. We kicked off the week with the announce trailer for Bethesda's hotly-anticipated The Evil Within 2, which came courtesy of the ongoing E3. The bonkers trailer damn sure caught our eye, but it wasn't home to any actual gameplay. Well, wait no more, because the extended gameplay trailer has arrived – and it's CREEPY AF. Set in Union, a crumbling city built using Lily's mind as the Core, The Evil Within 2 presents a mix of closed off, claustrophobic environments that are reminiscent of the first game, and new, less linear areas that will give you the opportunity to explore at your own pace. You'll be able to wander freely and poke through all the dark corners of the world at your leisure, but this is still a survival horror game, and ammo and resources will be scarce.

Today's blog post comes from copywriters Charlotte Bohnett and Erica Cohen.
Earlier this week we tackled four reasons your practice should ditch paper documentation and go digital with Electronic Medical Records (EMR). At this point, you've either already made the switch or you've probably at least made up your mind to go digital soon. No matter what stage you're in, we all know that EMR is an investment, and you might be wondering how to get the most bang for your buck.
Remember, EMR isn't just for documentation. It can help you manage and grow your clinic. How, you ask?
Some EMRs feature referral reports. When entering patients, you can include whether they were referred by a physician and if so, who. Then, you can use the referral report to easily track how many referrals you're receiving from entered physicians. It's a convenient way to identify who needs more networking attention and who needs a big "thank you!"
You can also integrate your logo into digital documents, like physician notes. Logo'd notes put your brand right in front of your biggest referral source. Subtle, yes, but effective.
Patient Management
With EMR, you can also attain valuable metrics on your patients; for instance, reporting on "lost" patients allows you to view inactive patients. Some EMRs also offer "productivity" reporting, which enables you to track patient cancellations and no-shows as well as some other nifty metrics (see next section). Both lost patient and productivity reports empower you to follow-up with patients more frequently and in an organized manner.
Here are a few more patient management tools available on some of the most widely used EMR software: Appointment reminders—email, text, and phone—cut down patient no-shows, and integrated home exercise programs, complete with supporting photos and videos, help you aid your patients in meeting their goals.
Therapist Management
Your EMR can also help you manage other therapists or your own performance. Cue the productivity report again! Productivity reporting shows you how many patients each therapist in your clinic has seen as well as the types of documents they created. And missed notes reporting keeps tabs on incomplete or missing documentation. Both of these reports increase accountability—for yourself and for your team.
To keep your clinic profitable, it's crucial to have timely reimbursements. The best way to improve reimbursements—besides creating defensible documentation—is to submit clean claims. Some EMRs (like WebPT) offer either their own integrated billing service or have certified billing partners. Both routes eliminate double entry of demographic patient information or billing codes and allow for seamless transferring of information.
EMR means no more pen and paper for you as a therapist and your front office. The scheduling tool automatically links your patient records with your clinic's calendar. In addition to appointment reminders, the scheduling tool enables you to:
- track cancellations and no-shows
- easily book or reschedule appointments
- manage multiple therapists' schedules
- view the schedules of your other clinics (if applicable)
- collect patient copays and generate receipts
Woo-hoo for no double booking or task duplication! (If you're not saying "woo-hoo," trust us, your front office staff will!)
Free Up Space
File cabinets and in-house data servers can really hamper the feng shui of your clinic. With a cloud-based EMR, you can free up a lot of space. There's no tabbed manila folders, IT staff, or "server rooms" involved. All that means less stress (and more room to host your spooky costume-themed Halloween party).
Ditch the pen and paper, and then take your EMR far beyond documentation; really put it to work for your clinic. This way, you can get back to what really matters—your patients.

Meningitis is a devastating infection that causes the swelling of the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can lead to brain damage and deafness, as well as fatalities. The land mass stretching from Senegal to Ethiopia is known as the "meningitis belt" and during the past 100 years has suffered epidemics that have killed thousands and disabled even more, the bulk of victims being children and youth. Thankfully, in 2010, the MenAfriVac® vaccine was introduced. With over 235 million people immunised so far, the caseload of meningitis A has been eliminated in immunised populations.
However, Dr Trotter's research assistant Andromachi Karachaliou and her colleagues showed that without a long-term vaccination programme, meningitis A would return to the region within 15 years. The team used mathematical modelling to examine the most effective vaccination strategy to ensure the population was protected in the long term, which informed World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations. The success of the MenAfriVac® also changed the makeup of the meningitis threat, which prompted WHO to commission Dr Trotter to review operational thresholds for other serogroups of meningitis, which dictate timelines to act to prevent or to respond to epidemics. Dr Trotter analysed district-level surveillance data to show that initiating vaccination programmes earlier would prevent more cases of meningitis than would lowering the epidemic threshold, which led WHO to lower the alert thresholds, thus allowing more time to prepare for a rapid response once the epidemic threshold was reached.

How old are you? What if, when someone asked you this question, you answered with the age of all humans? 2.3 million years, you would say. What about all primates? Around 80 million years old. If you wanted to answer for the whole of mammal-kind, you'd find the answer depends who you ask.
In November a new paper came out that stirred an ongoing debate among palaeontologists working on the first mammals and their close relatives. Early-mammal expert Professor Zhe-Xi Luo, from the University of Chicago, led a team reanalysing the fossil of a mouse-sized creature called Haramiyavia clemenseni using CT-scans. They found anatomical details that appear to push this little beastie out of the bushy crown of the mammalian tree, relegating it to the side branches. This has big implications for the age of all mammals.
One thing that really gets an early-mammal researcher talking is the question: what is a mammal? Any seven-year-old could answer this about the lions, elephants and armadillos alive today, but rewind 230 million years to the Triassic and things get trickier. If we had a time machine, we could send the BBC natural history unit back with their film equipment to create a stunning documentary showing us whether these ancient ancestors laid eggs, produced milk, or had full coats of fur. Along with them, a scientist could extract some blood and use genetics to tell us who is related to who, and how closely. For now though, we can only rely on fossils to provide evidence. We must examine their petrified skinless skeletons for clues about when mammal-like reptiles became actual mammals.
Palaeontologists class early mammals as either mammaliformes, or crown mammals. The mammaliaformes are mammal-like, but not quite mammals. The crown mammals are considered mammals and include our ancient relatives, alongside a plethora of extinct brothers and sisters. Slight changes in anatomy – such as different grooves in the jaw and the development of the inner ear bones - indicate to palaeontologists whether these creatures are more closely related to later mammal groups. Whether the haramiyidans – the group that includes the re-described Haramiyavia clemenseni specimen – are crown mammals or not, has divided expert opinion.
Haramiyidans were originally identified from individual teeth scattered randomly through the Triassic rocks of Europe. Scientists couldn't figure out how the teeth fit into a jaw, and without that information, assessing where they fit in the mammal tree was difficult. Researchers suggested they were related to another extinct group of mammals called multituberculates (named for the multiple knobbles on their teeth) who shared some of their dental characteristics.
In time, more haramiyidan specimens emerged, including H. clemenseni from the frozen rocks of Greenland. This comprised teeth set into a jaw, as well as some pieces of the body skeleton. For a long time it was the most important fossil in the debate about haramiyidans. A team led by the late palaeontologist Farish Jenkins used it as evidence to place the haramiyidans right at the base of crown Mammalia, arguing that although the little animal's teeth were distinctly different from other early mammals, it was indeed an early crown mammal, and had the jaw grooves to prove it. Others said the grooves necessary to diagnose H. clemenseni as a crown mammal were missing and inconclusive - it was probably only a mammaliaform.
Why, you may be wondering, does it matter if this little mouse-thing* was a crown mammal or not? It makes all the difference for the timing of our mammal origins – the age of us.
The haramiyidans first appear in the late Triassic – H. clemenseni is one of the oldest found so far. If it is a crown mammal, this pushes our common ancestor right back into the Triassic. It means mammals survived not only the end-Cretaceous extinction that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, but also the end-Triassic extinction 200 million years ago. This lesser known extinction event wiped the decks clear and allowed dinosaurs to dominate the earth.
However, if the haramiyidans are not crown mammals, and are instead just close relatives, then mammals have their origins much later, in the Jurassic. Such details are important to scientists studying macro-evolution; large scale patterns of life on earth and the forces that drive them. Lots of new creatures emerged in the early Jurassic as life recovered from the end-Triassic mass extinction, so if mammals appeared at this time it would make sense. However, if crown mammals diversified before the extinction event, this raises questions about what drove their evolution. It may not sound like a big deal, but the time difference in crown mammal origins is about 30 million years. To put that into perspective, the primates that would become humans split away from our common ancestor with chimps about 7.5 million years ago. Geologically it seems trivial, but a lot can happen in 30 million years.
Haramiyidans are one of many enigmatic beasts to emerge from new fossil beds in China. Specimens like Arboroharamiya jenkinsi from the Tiaojishan Formation, described by a team led by palaeontologist Xiaoting Zheng of Linyi University in Shandong, are stunningly complete, giving us a whole body to work with for the first time, and a wealth of new anatomical data to argue over. Just last year three more amazingly complete haramiyidans from the same rock formation were the basis of a fresh argument by Shundong Bi (Chinese Academy of Sciences) and colleagues that these creatures are crown mammals after all, related to multituberculates as previously suggested, and that the common ancestor of all crown mammals was, indeed, 30 million years older in the late Triassic.
And so the argument continues. Last month's paper is the most recent in a line of contributions to scientific knowledge. It uses the latest techniques to update the discussion: reconstructing that battered H. clemenseni jaw from Greenland using x-ray computed tomography – the same CT scanning carried out in hospitals to see inside the human body. This is something the early palaeontologists could never have dreamed of when they tried to stick those first fiddly haramiyidan teeth together over 100 years ago.
Until that time machine becomes available, teams of palaeontologists will use complex dental arrangements and the placement of jaw grooves in fossils to try and determine just how long ago our last common ancestor scurried away from the rest of the mammaliaformes to become the first "true" mammal. We will continue to write new pages in the story of us.
*mouse-like, but rodents didn't exist for another 140 million years.

Tweed is a natural fibre textile, woven with a soft, open weave and made from wool. The word Tweed derives from the Scots word Tweel or twill, a type of weave common to the cloth.
HARRIS TWEED is a tweed from yarn which is dyed and spun in the Scottish Outer Hebrides and woven by hand in homes of local crofters.
The Isle of Harris is located in the far north west of Scotland on the edge of western Europe. It is part of long chain of small islands called the Outer Hebrides.
While originally established in Harris, the same skilled methods of weaving of tweed were also historically conducted throughout the neighbouring islands. As demand rose, weavers from these areas began to contribute to production with equally high standards and were recognised as makers of HARRIS TWEED too.
The Harris Tweed Authority is a legal body with powers under law to protect and defend the reputation and historic production methods of HARRIS TWEED. Only tweed that bears the Authority Orb Mark can be deemed to be genuine HARRIS TWEED. The Harris Tweed Authority do not produce the HARRIS TWEED or any of the items made using it.
The three main companies producing HARRIS TWEED are Harris Tweed Hebrides, The Carloway Mill and Harris Tweed Scotland.
HARRIS TWEED is woven by the crofters of these islands, always by hand and in their own homes, often a small weaving shed beside their residence.
Thousands! The possibilities are almost endless but there are over 4000 commonly used patterns and colour combinations in the pattern books.
There are two types, the older single-width Hattersley loom and the modern double-width Bonas Griffiths loom. Both are powered by manual foot treadles.
Yes! Every single metre. The loom mechanism is powered by foot and the hands tie, work and repair the cloth as it is being woven.
While the crofters of the Outer Hebrides have always woven tweed, the credit for the name HARRIS TWEED probably lies with Countess Dunmore who finally brought the tweed to commercial markets.
All over the world. Please go to the Find Tweed pages and explore the possibilities.
It is a long and complicated process. Please go to the HARRIS TWEED pages and find out more.
If you have more questions about our islands, cloth or processes please email firstname.lastname@example.com for answers.
