One was a tennis player from Illinois, a man with a well-honed sense of fairness combined with a fierce independent streak. The other was a self-described tomboy from Georgia, a woman whose grace and charm made her crusading spirit all the more effective. They settled in southeastern Virginia and, in their own ways, made history.
As the 40th anniversary of Title IX approaches, Millie West and Jim Jarrett are able to look back on careers that helped shape the lives of hundreds of athletes partly because of the landmark legislation that opened doors for women in athletics.
Jarrett spent 40 years as athletic director at Old Dominion, one of the first schools in the country to provide athletic scholarships for women. West came to William and Mary in 1959 and served 50 years as a teacher, coach, administrator, fundraiser and general instigator for women's athletics.
"It was easy for me to get in there and fight until the end, because I thought it was the right thing to do," West said recently. "The charge was part of my fabric. I had to do it."
Jarrett and West were on the front lines of a movement that has seen a quantum leap in women's athletics that was unfathomable to previous generations.
In 1971-72, more than 12 times as many boys as girls played high school sports — 3.66 million boys, compared to 294,000 girls, according to the Women's Sports Foundation. By 2010, nearly 3.2 million girls played high school sports, compared to 4.4 million boys.
The number of women playing varsity sports in college totaled 29,972 in 1971-72, compared to 170,384 men. Women's athletic budgets were two percent of men's budgets, according to the National Women's Law Center. By 2009, the number of women competing at the college level was 186,460, compared to 249,307 men.
"It's easier now for people to take great credit for stands that have become commonplace, but Jim and Millie stepped in at a time when there weren't a lot of people advocating for women's athletics," said Colonial Athletic Association commissioner Tom Yeager, who has known and worked with both for years. "They were among the first to provide the kind of opportunities for women that a lot of people take for granted today. I think it's important to recognize that they were kind of trailblazers."
Evidence of West's and Jarrett's impacts are scattered around their respective campuses, and not just with structures that bear their names.
The three women's basketball national championship banners hanging from the rafters of Old Dominion's Constant Center are a reflection of Jarrett's commitment, not to mention the program's record 17 consecutive conference titles, and accompanying NCAA tournament appearances.
The state-of-the-art Powhatan Sports Complex, which opened in 2008, befits a field hockey program that's won a record nine NCAA titles and has the most successful coach in Division I history, Beth Anders.
"This is the only place I ever wanted to coach," said Anders, who will lead the Lady Monarchs in her 30th and final season this fall.
At William and Mary, the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center, which also houses the women's college tennis Hall of Fame, has aged well despite being 17 years old. It stands as a tribute to the passion of a woman whose teams won 90 percent of their matches and who worked tirelessly with another sporting pioneer — the late Mark McCormack, W&M Class of 1950 and founder of global representation firm IMG — to provide a suitable home for the school's tennis program and for community tennis patrons.
West's work with the Wightman Cup — the biennial U.S.-Great Britain women's tennis matches of the 1980s — and an annual golf fundraiser netted hundreds of thousands of dollars for Tribe women's athletics through the years. Even W&M's baseball home, Plumeri Park, is in part a product of her fundraising and organizational efforts with Tribe bigfoot alum and finance executive Joe Plumeri.
"She probably embodies the impact of Title IX in intercollegiate athletics," W&M athletic director Terry Driscoll said of West. "She was one of the trailblazers, because she was not only doing things on the campus here in Williamsburg, but across Virginia and across the country. She is an extraordinary example of one of the people who was on the cutting edge.
"When she started, Title IX wasn't even implemented. When it first was passed, there wasn't a lot of energy behind it. When the energy came in, she was right there at the edge because she had been pushing the boulder uphill before things really started to hit."
Title IX becomes law
Title IX was a small part of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. President Richard Nixon signed it into law on June 23, 1972, four months after his historic trip to China and 10 weeks before 11 Israeli athletes were captured and killed by an Arab terrorist group at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.
The bill crossed Nixon's desk just six days after a handful of men were caught burglarizing Democratic National Committee headquarters in a D.C. office complex across town called the Watergate. It was later discovered that he signed Title IX on the same day he spoke to his chief of staff about the possibility of using the CIA to thwart the FBI's investigation into the Watergate break-in.
Title IX consists of only 37 words that are as powerful as they are open-ended: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
The bill originally was authored by U.S. representatives Patsy Mink from Hawaii, the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress, and Edith Green, a 10-term Congresswoman from Oregon noted for her work on education. In fact, Title IX was later renamed thePatsy T. MinkEqual Opportunity in Education Act.
Birch Bayh from Indiana was its primary Senate sponsor and introduced the bill in Congress. Bayh also worked on other legislation related to equal rights for women, based on his upbringing and his relationship with his wife, Marvella, whom he considered his partner and equal.
When Nixon signed the bill, most of his remarks were about what he thought its effects would be on busing and desegregation. Bayh believed its primary impact would be on educational opportunities for women. Few saw its potential in sports, particularly since the bill didn't mention the word "athletics."
"I was aware of it almost immediately," West said. "I got on a soapbox about it all the time."
West, from a small, northwest Georgia burg called Cedartown, arrived at William and Mary in 1959. She taught swimming and tennis and coached the Mermettes, the school's synchronized swimming team. She eventually started the swimming team and coached the women's tennis team to a 208-28-2 record and numerous national rankings.
In 1969, she became women's athletic director, serving 17 years until the men's and women's athletic departments merged under the late John Randolph. Though she technically retired in 1991, she continued to work on special projects and raise money for the athletic department. She's been feted and recognized numerous times by the school, most recently when the tennis courts behind William and Mary Hall were named in her honor.
West's genteel, Southern nature masked a deep competitive streak, whether it was playing and coaching or seeking funds and opportunities. Even now, at age 77, her eyes sparkle and her voice gains intensity as she recalls the frustrations and battles.
"I didn't slam any doors behind me," she said. Snaking her hand through the air in front of her, she added, "I worked my way through the administration and the proper channels."
That didn't mean she was always successful.
"I made a lot of enemies," she said. "I took on unpopular things, but I wasn't afraid. I was too stupid to be afraid."
Jarrett came to Old Dominion in 1967 as an associate professor of health and physical education. Three years later, he replaced Bud Metheny as athletic director and had a green light from school president Dr. Al Rollins.
After graduating from Southern Illinois, Jarrett had coached junior high sports and worked as a local tennis pro in Decatur, Ill., where he said he was frustrated by the scant support and competitive avenues for talented women athletes. His mother was an avid sports fan and routinely told him that there were few athletic and educational opportunities for women when she grew up.
Title IX, Jarrett wrote in an email response, "was the vehicle to use to enhance financial support for women's sports." Without federal legislation, he wrote, "that support may not have happened or been postponed by many years."
Jarrett was socially conscious, but also stubbornly independent.
"He didn't want anyone coming into his program telling him what to do, so he said, I'm going to do the right thing up front so that nobody comes in here and tells me what to do," said former ODU associate athletic director Mikki Bailes, who spent almost 29 years working alongside Jarrett before retiring in 2003.
Cultivating change
West and Jarrett worked in settings that made it possible to fight for and to implement their ideals. Athletics have never been the tail that wagged the dog at William and Mary, which had a history of women in sports from intramural and club levels to intercollegiate competition.
Old Dominion, originally a satellite campus for William and Mary, had a Division II athletic program that eventually moved up to Division I in the late 1970s. The absence of a football program — ODU shelved its program from the 1940s until 2009 — also removed the attendant testosterone and resistance that often inhibited advancement and opportunities for women at other institutions.
Jarrett, whose name is affixed to the school's athletic administration building, decided on a program of selective excellence that first began with women's basketball and later field hockey. ODU was the first school in the state to offer scholarships to women. Former women's coach and ODU alum Wendy Larry was among the first to receive aid, and Pam Parsons was hired in 1974 with the understanding that she could win a national title with the support she was receiving.
"He was a pioneer," Larry said. "He had a vision, specifically for women's basketball, he had a vision that he was going to be the best program in the country and he went after it."
Jarrett and Bailes worked in tandem. Jarrett hired Bailes, then Mikki Flowers, as the field hockey coach in 1975. She also taught physical education and later became ODU's first women's lacrosse coach and the first advisor to the sailing team.
When Bailes became associate athletic director and Jarrett's right hand, she recommended Anders as field hockey coach. Anders, then a high school coach in Pennsylvania, was a world-class player who eventually won a bronze medal with the 1984 U.S. Olympic team. Jarrett permitted Anders to continue her playing career while she coached; in fact, he encouraged it, believing it would elevate the profile of the program and school.
"Things weren't given to us," Anders said. "Money wasn't thrown at us. It wasn't about that. What was thrown at us were people you could sit down and talk to and build a program. They wanted to be good, so there were a lot of conversations and interest and commitment to being good. It was a lot of: Let's try this, or what about this, and we'd try things. It worked for us.
"There were some fights," she added with a chuckle, "but they were all about working toward the same goal."
Bumps in the road
Title IX's life has been marked by fights, as well as unintended consequences. Though record numbers of men and women compete in college athletics today, dozens of men's athletic teams have been cut within the past 30 years as schools attempt to comply with the law.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare in 1979 issued a policy interpretation that included a three-prong test to gauge whether institutions were in compliance. Schools had to meet one of the following criteria:
•Show that the percentage of women athletes is roughly the same as the percentage of undergraduate women in the general student body;
•Demonstrate that it is steadily increasing athletic opportunities for women;
•Show that it is meeting the athletic interests and abilities of women on campus.
Critics of the three-prong test argue that Title IX has become more about accounting than opportunity. They say that Olympic men's sports — wrestling programs were particularly hard hit — have been cut in order to meet percentage levels, especially as more women attend college.
Advocates of the test counter that Title IX was never intended to cut men's sports. They often point to football programs as an outsized drag on scholarship and participation measures, since there is no women's equivalent sport. Rather than rein in football roster sizes and expenses, they argue, schools take the path of less resistance and simply eliminate men's Olympic sports.
One irony of Title IX is that it actually limited William and Mary's overall women's athletic program. The Tribe fielded as many as four levels of competitive teams, from varsity to JV to club and sometimes even developmental teams. Women, and men, played at their appropriate skill levels.
"The beauty of it," West said, "was we didn't build the program because of Title IX. It was really because the students demanded it. They came in with backgrounds in sports, they were active and they demanded it."
Once Title IX was passed, and especially after the policy interpretation and compliance measures were implemented, it all but ended JV and club-level college teams.
Despite its history of providing opportunities for women, William and Mary also had its own Title IX controversy. In the winter of 1991, the athletic department announced that it would eliminate four sports as a means to save and re-allocate money: women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, and wrestling.
Under threat of lawsuit and after a pledge from an anonymous donor, the school reversed course. Women's basketball and the swimming programs were reinstated, while wrestling, unable to generate sufficient funds, was eliminated.
The kicker is that West wasn't altogether opposed to eliminating women's basketball. Though a fierce advocate of opportunity, she also believes that if you're going to compete at the highest level possible, championships should be the goal.
Tribe women's basketball struggled historically and had by far the largest budget of any women's sport. West, and others, believed the money could be re-allocated to aid chronically underfunded programs that were regionally and nationally competitive.
But as the flagship team sport for women's college athletics, basketball was practically sacrosanct. Supporters fought the sacrifice of any opportunity, regardless of intent.
West called that one of the most difficult episodes of her tenure. She was pleased that the sports were reinstated, but knew that she had irritated many women's sports advocates.
That episode also shed light on the divisions that existed within the women's sports movement, something that Old Dominion's athletic brain trust experienced.
"When we first started," Bailes said, "we weren't viewed in a real positive light by a lot of women in athletics. A lot of women weren't really interested in recruiting and giving scholarships and doing what the men were doing. They wanted to maintain the model that we had. The truth was that many people resented us."
Women's college athletics in the 1970s were governed by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). The NCAA had no desire to administer women's sports and actually challenged the legality of Title IX in 1976.
But with federal clout behind it and the possibility to make money, the NCAA decided to sponsor championships for women's sports beginning in the early 1980s. ODU won back-to-back AIAW national titles in basketball (1979-80), but eventually cast its lot with the NCAA.
In fact, ODU hosted the first NCAA women's Final Four, at Scope in 1982, while there was a competing AIAW tournament, the organization's last. Given its prominence within women's athletics, Old Dominion was viewed by some as helping put the AIAW out of business.
Bailes relayed the story of Jarrett sitting in a national meeting of women's athletic administrators, discussing the merits and criticisms of moving away from AIAW governance to the NCAA model. One AIAW advocate said, women just don't cheat. To which Jarrett replied, the last time I checked, there were just as many women in prison as men.
"It took a long while for women to accept that model of competition and what the men were doing," Bailes said. "We were women and we were supposed to do it another way."
West said there were tradeoffs both in adopting the NCAA model and when the W&M men's and women's athletic departments merged.
"It was good in that it gave us an avenue for competition," she said. "It was good in that it required us to enforce some equality. It was bad in that it took away some autonomy for the women to take care of themselves."
Moving forward
West, Jarrett, Bailes and others who remember the days before Title IX marvel at the progress made within women's athletics. They see sold-out arenas hosting women's Final Fours, sold-out stadia for women's World Cup soccer, all manner of coaching, training and opportunity for young girls to pursue athletic dreams.
But they also know that none of it came without a price. Despite the progress made, vigilance and effort remain critical components of the women's sports movement.
According to the U.S. Government's Equity in Athletics database, women received 43 percent of athletic aid in Football Bowl Championship Subdivision (Division I-A) schools and 45 percent of athletic aid in FBS schools (Division I-AA) in 2010. Total expenses for men's sports in I-A were $2.6 billion, compared to $1.1 billion for women's sports. In I-AA, women's expenses were $487 million, compared to $752 million for men's teams.
"It upsets me that it's still not what it should be," West said. "It's up to the administrators of every department to be more than correct. Don't just meet minimum standards, be equitable for all programs. That's something we have to continue to fight for."
One was a tennis player from Illinois, a man with a well-honed sense of fairness combined with a fierce independent streak. The other was a self-described tomboy from Georgia, a woman whose grace and charm made her crusading spirit all the more effective.

"Masters of Sex," which premieres Sunday on Showtime, takes as its subject Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the authors of "Human Sexual Response," "Human Sexual Inadequacy" and other medical potboilers of the 20th century. Without making any extraordinary claims for it, it is easy to watch and to recommend, mostly sweet-natured, with a host of well-shaded performances and almost nothing to insult your intelligence.
Created by Michelle Ashford ("The Pacific") from Thomas Maier's book of the same name, it is a story of men waking up to women and women waking up to themselves. (It begins in 1956, when, as the opening title card has it, "a nationally renowned fertility specialist met a former nightclub singer.") It is a biopic stretched into a series — not a miniseries, but a show to last possibly for years; its pace through their entwined lives and work is unhurried.
And although it hangs on bones of fact, it's more useful for the viewer to think of it as all made up. Because, mostly, it is, and because to the extent it tells the story of two real people, it also adorns the telling with dramatic practicalities, invented characters and narrative detours. Indeed, it's down these side streets, casting a brief light on a passing character (patients, prostitutes, provost's wife), that the show finds many of its best moments
It is also, as the story of a pair of professional voyeurs, a subject tailor-made for premium cable, which is always looking for ways to get people — women, mostly — out of their clothes and into a little simulated sex. Here, for once, it isn't gratuitous. Technically.
Michael Sheen stars as Masters. When we meet him, he is about to leave a dinner in his honor at St. Louis' Washington University, supposedly to deliver a baby. In fact, he is off to crouch in a closet in a brothel, with a stopwatch and a clipboard, to time a sex act.
He is a man with a mission. "The study of sex is the study of the beginning of all life," he declares, "and science holds the key! Yet we sit huddled in the dark like prudish cavemen, filled with shame. And guilt." He wants to study sex not as Kinsey had, just by asking questions, but by monitoring bodies in a laboratory.
"Only hookers and insane coeds would agree to this," someone objects, but it turns out some people just feel useful having sex for science.
Lizzy Caplan is Johnson, the "former nightclub singer," who comes to work at the hospital as a secretary and manages to attach herself to Masters and his project, eventually becoming his partner. As conceived here, she's the driving spirit, both within the story and of the series itself. Masters' journey, though it involves a kind of awakening (women fake orgasms?), some (narratively dubious) institutional strong-arming, domestic drama and a lot of science stuff, is simply not as dynamic as her self-reinvention.
"I picked you for this job," says he.
"If that's what you need to tell yourself," says she.
Johnson is a new woman, by nature; she likes sex, which she doesn't confuse with love (in which she is rather less interested). She wants to do "something important," and in her head lives in a world where sisterhood is already powerful, a memo some of the women around her have yet to receive. She's the one who sees in their data on the clitoral orgasm "a brave new world" where a man is just a fish's bicycle.
Indeed, the series looks back on this time as the beginning of the (still-ending) end of male dominance and privilege. (One self-improving nurse, played by Heléne Yorke, is reading Simone de Beauvoir. "'The Second Sex'?" a flirty doctor asks. "Is that book as thought-provoking as it sounds?") The male characters do seem the thicker, more comical ones. But perhaps that is merely true.
Though we are made to see that Masters can be an understanding doctor dealing with a troubled patient, much of the time he is an arrogant, stiff-necked, workaholic pill, the risque nature of his chosen field notwithstanding. He is, I suppose, a sort of anti-hero — like his chronological near-contemporary Don Draper, emotionally stunted, work-defined, with hints of darkness in his past and a perfectly lovely wife (Caitlin FitzGerald) he treats respectably but also less than well.
She calls him "Daddy," which is meant both to describe their power relationship and to strike an ironic note, because they are trying to get pregnant, in a scientific way, and failing. (The Masters had two children, in fact, by the time the series begins.) Their perfect Modernist house is therefore not a home.
Beau Bridges, better employed here than on his new sitcom, "The Millers," plays Masters' friend and provost; Allison Janney, turning in some really lovely work, is his frustrated wife. Annaleigh Ashford is funny and touching as a sex worker looking to change her life; Margo Martindale pops in for a couple of dozen seconds to play an offended secretary; Barry Bostwick is a frisky pensioner.
It's a handsome thing, another well-dressed romp through the American mid-century, when things (we imagine) were simpler and (so we like to think) less sophisticated, but also more exciting. And it's true that sexual naiveté of that age can seem incredible in a day when pornography is just another thing on your platform of choice.
But even in an age when "Masters of Sex" is a TV show, the subject remains stubbornly powerful, private and confounding. We have come far, and we are still cavemen.

Sales Agents: Are they Distributors or like Real Estate Brokers?/
Guest post by Orly Ravid of TheFilmCollaborative.org Our friend and beloved social network marketing guru Sheri Candler posed a question to me today. She noted that filmmakers are often confused by this issue of "what is the difference between a sales agent or distributor selling a license to your film or selling your film outright for 15 – 20 years?". She posited a real estate metaphor. So here I go: Sales agents are not like Re-Max brokers only having the right to sell your house for you, if you approve. They usually take your land and then resell it and its territorial clones all over the world, or as much as they can. Meaning, they first take the rights and take delivery (at least usually that is the way they do it) and then they license those rights territory by territory for a term, a minimum guarantee, and usually a royalty split. Sometimes all rights deals are done and sometimes rights are split.
I just did a redline to a sales agent's deal/contract for a documentary we are consulting on. We do our best to protect filmmakers in these deals. We also do foreign sales so we do both the contracts with the filmmakers to handle their sales and we help them do contracts with other companies handling their sales. Here's how it shakes down usually:
Many foreign sales companies do deals as if they were actual distributors in that they take rights. One is actually licensing them rights full on, in all media usually, for a very long time which is yes, sometimes as much as 15- 20 years. This is very much the old standard and I started in foreign sales twelve (12) years ago and saw it shake down even on napkins in Cannes. The sales company gets the rights to the film for a long time (though to be fair to them, often they pay producers up front for that though less and less these days). The sales companies also spend money shopping the films, but they also recoup expenses against any income that comes in and those expenses are not always actual and even when they are, they are not always sensible to put it mildly. It may be a bunch of films that are all paying for the same expenses, over and over again if you get what I mean. Not all companies are that way of course but we have seen statements from sales companies that will make your hair curl if it's straight and straighten if it's curly.
So, those companies like to take ALL your rights for a big fat TERM of 10, 12, 15, 20, 25 years and they will usually just resell those rights to a distributor who takes all rights for a particular territory (e.g. German & German Speaking Europe, or Korea, Japan, Greece.. you get the idea) in a market or via phone / email. They may also use those rights directly let's say for Broadcast deals or DIGITAL platform deals (for example Mubi, or Content Republic or Love). Once the sales agent or sales company has those rights the rights are THEIRS to do what they want, unless you are contractually resolved otherwise.
The Film Collaborative does foreign sales in house and also with its partner Ariel Veneziano or Recreation Media. We do NOT take rights, our deals are done directly between BUYER and FILMMAKER almost all the time (exceptions only when buyer insists because they only want to work with companies). We are even offering a low fee program to have films positioned for sale at markets, again, no rights taken and filmmaker makes all decisions. TFC also helps filmmakers do deals with other sales companies / sales agents as I said above. Not all companies are quite as transparent and filmmaker friendly but they can still be worth doing business with because they have certain relationships that you don't and they are going to markets that you aren't and they have leverage with buyers to get paid because they have a steady stream of 'product'. So we don't say not to all those options. We do however say this:
Do not do a deal for such a long term as 15 or 20 years or even 10 for that matter. Put in performance clauses and of course there are loads of other needed protections that should be part of any deal that are beyond the scope of this blog post. You can let them enter into longer deals if necessary and for the right price but there is no reason they should have such a long deal. Also try to let them have buyers pay you directly, though most won't do that. At least get approval rights for deals and get complete accounting. Approve and CAP expenses. And get references before you get into a deal to see if you have some hope of seeing any revenues. Do not give or license rights to them if you can help it but rather give them the right to enter into deals licensing rights and have you be a party to those deals (if you can do that). Many sales companies won't play ball this way but we do and we recommend you try hard to do it this way so that you don't live in regret watching your sales agent travel the world and eating well at film festivals while you get tiny checks, if any at all. I heard an amazing story of a sales agent who called a filmmaker and thanked her for making her (the sales agent) millions, so many that she was now retiring in the South of Spain. The filmmaker never made a dime over the advance. That's the other thing, if possible, get an advance, always, that may be all you see. Of course that may not be possible so you have got to do your best in negotiating and being protected. In any case, save the direct distribution for yourself if you can unless there's a great deal your sales agent can get you that you cannot do yourself but have the right at least to approve that. And as technology changes, you will able to do more and more yourself. The pirates manage to do it all, including subtitling and getting film seen around the world so surely, so can we.
TAKE HOME: Do a deal with a sales agent as close to the real estate model as you can, because if you don't, you may end up as just a part of their library being monetized for their sake, and not yours.

Imagine not having a professional photograph taken of you in 30 years. That was a reality for many men in the recovery program at Helping Up Mission and their families, before they came to Help-Portrait.
18 Stevenson students, faculty, and community members volunteered at this year's Help-Portrait event in downtown Baltimore. Photography students grabbed their cameras and photographed those in need. Visual Communication Design students used their digital imaging expertise to give the portraits a professional touch. When the prints were ready, the photographs were delivered. The day was about "giving" the pictures, not "taking" them. Help-Portrait is a global movement, and to date 282,295 people have been given their portraits at these events.
This was the second year that students in Stevenson's Art & VCD program, AIGA, and Photography Club have participated in this event. An exhibition of the Baltimore Help-Portrait photos will be held in the Stevenson School of Design Gallery in November 2014.
Check out the video capturing the Help-Portrait day featuring VCD major, Kate Kotowski.

It was a very exciting third night of battle rounds. The night was filled with exciting performances that left the coaches, performers and audience speechless.
Full of steals, upsets, and great competition, the third night of the battle rounds was definitely a charm.
Disclaimer: It must have been opposite day, everyone I was rooting for … lost.
Team Usher: Jessica Childress vs. Vedo, "Walked Outta Heaven" by Bruno Mars
Former PR girl Jessica Childress faced R&B sensation Vedo. Put together by their coach due to their opposite personalities, the duo performed the Bruno Mars hit "Locked Out of Heaven." In a sensational performance the duo left Shakira "feeling good," Blake "feeling bad for Usher" and Adam with a new friend in Jessica. Ultimately Coach Usher was left with the final decision, choosing r&b sensation Vedo.
No one grabbed Jessica in the steal, but maybe she can still bro down with Adam. (Please girl, do it for all of us).
Team Shakira: Luke Edgemon vs. Monique Abbadie, "You and I" by Lady Gaga
Two of Team Shakira's more eclectic voices duked it out in ring performing the Lady Gaga hit "You and I". Preacher's Son Luke Edgemon 86ed his glasses to take on former Latin child star Monique Abbadie. While the other coaches tried to figure out where Luke's powerful sound came from, or how Monique managed to sound so "professional," coach Shakira felt the performance had the right amount of ingredients (just enough Tabasco) to leave her with the heart-wrenching decision. In the end it was Monique Abbadie who won in a strategic move by Shakira, leaving Luke up for a steal, and on team Blake.
Team Blake: Jacqui Sandell vs. Savannah Berry, "Little White Church" by Little Big Town
It was the battle of the leather skirt vs. the cute floral dress. Team Blake's Jacqui Sandell faced country sensation Savannah Berry. Two of the teams' most opposite contestants found their confidence as they performed Little Big Town's "Little White Church." While Jacqui was praised for putting her own "thang" on it, Savannah's voice and "victory leap" landed her a spot on team Shrek … team Blake!
Team Shakira: C Perkins vs. Kris Thomas, "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars
In team Shakira's second battle of the night, C. Perkins, and Kris Thomas performed the Bruno Mars hit "It Will Rain." After a little struggle during rehearsal both contestants were able to find their voices. While coaches Shakira and Blake felt the performance was a little all over the place, Usher remained mum on helping her make the decision. In the end it was Kris Thomas who was given another chance to "prove those jerks" who dropped him from the label wrong. Sending C. Perkins on his way home, until Usher grabbed him in a very "legal" last second steal.
His poor heart. It went down, and then it came back up!
Team Adam: Midas Whale vs. Patrick Dodd, "Burning Love" by Elvis
First thing, who knew Midas Whale was so funny?
After a last minute change in the arrangement of the performance, Team Adam delivered a unique take on the Elvis hit "Burning Love." With more of a folk twist duo Midas Whale faced Memphis rocker Patrick Dodd. At the end of the "kick ass" performance coach Adam was left with his "toughest decision in four seasons". After much consideration (tough thinking and trying to make them a trio) Adam decided to take the more charismatic route and go with Midas Whale.
I feel Patrick Dodd was robbed of a steal. Who can I write about this?
Team Usher: Orlando Dixon vs. Ryan Innes, "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers
I know, I know, I know I know this was the best performance of the night, on any network.
Team Usher and "The Voice's" two strongest voices battled it out for the final performance of the night. While Orlando became the nights "revelation," Ryan Innes was deemed "a man's man." After listening to the other coaches' suggestions, and an additional minute of consideration, Usher decided to go with doctor-turned-singer Ryan Innes.
Of course there were no losers in this battle. Adam snagged Orlando Dixon in the steal, giving the DMV native another chance to shine.
Can this season get any better than night three? I guess we will find out.
Can we also suggest that Jessica and Patrick make a possible return this season? *puts note in The Voice suggestion box*

Back story:
As most of you know I am a big fan of Robert Rodriguez. In fact, he is my favorite director. Not necessarily because of his films, but because of his ideals, and drive. I am still a big fan of Robert's films, and I am always charmed by his interesting back story's as to how they came about. I remember reading Rebel Without a Crew about how he was cooped up in a lab for a month writing El Mariachi. I also just recently watched the director's commentary on Planet Terror, and how he wrote only 30 pages of script before casting (Quentin Tarantino thought he was crazy!) Now, this doesn't always work this way, but Welcome To The Party is very much a film in the style of Mr. Rodriguez.
It all began last summer (Summer 2006) shortly after I had finished shooting Smuggler's Ransom. DVXuser was having a Horrorfest, and I really wanted to be a part of it. So I sat down and thought of quick available resources I had. I put them all down on a sheet of paper, and started reading down the list, and after a few days I had a simple story, and a 4 page script titled: Haunted. I had my cast ready to go, but time wasn't on my side, and I had to scrap the film. I instead shot a very simple short called Into the Darkness, which was all made up on the fly, and really wasn't my best work to say the least.
Flash forward to summer of 2007. The moment I heard about Hallowfest my interest was piqued. I had just finished shooting a children's pilot episode It Really Happened, and was just waiting on music for that. I had time on my hands, and wanted to make a film! I waded through many scripts, and stumbled upon Haunted. I read through it, made some changes, and began casting. I still had the same resources as the previous summer, but I had made some great new connections with a wonderful DP (Geoff Reisner), Gaffer (Wes Carrasquillo), and makeup artist (Stephanie Navarro). I got them on board, and cast the short in a matter of weeks. Then I pored through the script, changed the title (twice!) and in fact changed the entire ending before I was satisfied. And finally on September 21, 2007, the short was shot, almost a year and a half after I had thought of the idea!
Welcome To The Party was shot in a quick one night shoot, in one location, and much like Robert's films, it is fast paced, and it edges the lines of humorous and disturbing. I hope you enjoy it, as it was some of the most fun I've ever had on a shoot.

New short film THE APPOINTMENT now available to see!
Production Updates
August 24, 2007
Cast & Crew are locked, location is locked, script is locked, shooting dates are locked. Will be meeting with our Director of Photography, Geoff Reisner (who DP'd the winning film for DVXuser's dramafest "Heritage") next week to discuss everything.
August 27, 2007
The final script was sent out today, the ending was changed a bit, and a few of the lines were "punched up". Also, the awesome Stephanie Navarro has signed on to do hair and makeup. The rough shot list was also finished.
August 31, 2007
Met up with our Director of Photography, Geoff Reisner today, and we went through the script, and we're going to be finishing up the shot list soon. He'll also be working on some storyboards, which I'll post up once we can. Also, Wes Carrasquillo has signed on as Gaffer!
September 4, 2007
Ok, after talking the script over with Geoff (who has some great ideas) I made a couple tweaks and now we're set... also changed the title of the short.
September 7, 2007
Geoff and I went to the location and went through the entire script, blocking out the shots, and the staging/action of the actors, etc. He also brought a few storyboards, and we revised the shot-list after going through everything again.
September 12, 2007
Met with Geoff, and Wes tonight and went over the script for shots one more time. Also went over some lighting things. Motivation, etc. We also went over what equipment we needed to rent. Geoff had some awesome ideas for some shot additions... we shoot in less than two weeks! I am so pumped!
September 18, 2007
Dropped off the funds for Geoff (grip, and lighting rental) and also got the final shot list from him. We have 61 shots for the film, we're shooting a LOT of coverage, but hey, it'll make it a lot easier for me in post. Geoff has some COOL shots in here. Can't wait.
September 21, 2007
Here we go. The plan for today is this. After work at 5, I am heading out to buy craft service food, and my crew will be here at 7. My cast call is 8, and I'm hoping we're on camera by 8:30 or so... Then we'll most likely break for dinner (or really late meal) at midnight, after shooting through the first part of the script, then we'll shoot the second part, and most likely wrap around 3 or 4am tomorrow morning... I'll have BTS photos and more tomorrow!
September 22, 2007
It is now 9AM... our shoot ended at around 5:30AM. I just finished looking through the majority of our footage, it looks awesome! We had a great cast and crew on set, and knocked out a very ambitious short in one short night. I want to thank, Geoff, Wes, Stephanie, Jessica, Seth, and Henry for really being an awesome and fun crew! I couldn't have done this without you all! I also want to thank the cast, Joy, Daniel, and Sarah, wonderful job! I think it's going to be a really nice piece. Anyway, time to take a nap! Until next time..
September 23, 2007
Geoff went out and shoot a couple pick-ups we needed tonight, and I went over to grab them from him. I also finished a full rough-cut today, but I'll need to add the new shots, and tweak some things. Hoping to have a locked picture by the end of the week, to send to Leo. Then I'll begin color grading.
September 24, 2007
Refined the rough cut some more, and am rendering out the third rough cut as we speak. I also recorded some O.C. dialog with one of our actress's tonight. And I worked on some color grading as well.
September 25, 2007
Officially signed on Justin Krause for sound design, he also did work on my film, Smuggler's Ransom. I finished editing in the VO from one of the characters in the film. I'm still in need of one more VO line, but I haven't yet gotten word back from the guy I offered the part to. We shall see... the picture is locked though, and I'm happy with it.
September 26, 2007
The final picture lock is done and off.... also, some really BIG news! We had one more VO role to fill, and the awesome, and infamous, Jack Daniel Stanley, has agreed to do it! It's very exciting to have him a part of this in a small way! He's really busy right now too, so for him to help out is really awesome! Thanks Jack!!
September 27, 2007
Worked on a few color grading looks tonight. Will do my best to finish all color grading this weekend. I love having this 4:2:2 colorspace! You can really push the image!
September 28, 2007
Worked on the color grading for most of the night tonight... I think I've got everything pretty well nailed. It's looking really good.
October 1, 2007
Got word today that the very talented Henry Schneider will be doing some sweet opening titles for the film! Much more to come, stay tuned!
October 15, 2007
Well, lots of time since I've done an update. We had a little change today. Leo Gardini was pretty weighed down with some projects, and computer issues, so now the very talented Justin Durban has taken over the composer spot on the team, and will be working on the score, starting tonight! Things are going well with Justin Krause and his awesome sound design as well! Also, finally finished all the VO work for the film!
October 17, 2007
Justin Krause sent me a new draft of sound design. It's sounding GREAT! Going to get some notes down for him, and send them off tonight.
October 19, 2007
Justin Durban finished the first draft of the score, and I just plugged it in. It sounds spectacular! I'll be going over it again this evening and sending some minor notes, but it's pretty well done. The film clocks in right at 5 min. as well. Hoping to get another draft of sound design in tonight or tomorrow as well!
October 21, 2007
Amidst the wildfires today, Justin Durban and I got the final locked score in, and I sent it off to Justin Krause for final sound mix. He'll be sending stuff tomorrow night I hope.
October 22, 2007
Wow! Justin Krause just sent me the full draft of the sound, and it sounds GREAT! I am going to watch through it a few more times, to make sure I can send any notes I have, and then he's going to mix the score in, and send a final draft tomorrow night. We will be looking at a Wednesday upload! Finish line, here we come!
October 23, 2007
Earlier this afternoon Justin K. sent me the final mix draft (with score) and I sent him back two small notes. Hoping we can have the three HQ stems for the audio (Score, Dialog, Foley) in tomorrow night, and we'll be ready to render, and upload. I also did some short compression tests tonight, and all looks well!
October 24, 2007
Got the final sound in from Justin Krause! We are there people! I plugged it in, and did a few renders and nailed it after a couple times! Uploading as we speak! Got it in with two days to spare! Whoot! It's been a great time working with everyone who's been involved and I couldn't have done this without them!

Do you have insurance?
Either way, actually, I'd suggest hiring a costumer to handle all of that. It will take a lot of stress off your mind.
Commercial and Creative Director at Psychic Bunny, a hybrid media studio in sunny Los Angeles, California.
Producer, Cement Suitcase ( feature film )
Writer/Director/Producer, Dead Drop ( BetrayalFest finalist ) "A very cool, slick and well done short."
Producer, The Echo Game ( feature film ) - "There is never a dull moment..."
Ex. Producer, Coma, Period. ( web series ) - "...few things in web video are done as well as they are in Coma, Period."
@TheSpiceEffect on Twitter IMDb
It'll also cost a lot of these $$$$. Looking for a low budget film here. Under 1K.
Trust me, I've had a costumer on my last couple projects, and I love it! But... it will be too pricey for this one.Please subscribe to my YOUTUBE CHANNEL to see all of my projects.
New short film THE APPOINTMENT now available to see!
When I've hired someone else to do it, I actually saved quite a bit of money, because it's their job to know how to do things cheaper. Of course, that was in South Carolina. Maybe you can't find cheap costumers here? I still find that hard to believe. Try looking for theatre designers maybe, rather than film people.
I'd be happy to recommend Warner or Sony's costume rentals, if you're still looking for that. They both have a wide selection, and if you can find someone to help you that isn't in a really bad mood (rare), you're all set!
Cool, thanks, I'll ask my normal costumer what she could do for a super low budget.Please subscribe to my YOUTUBE CHANNEL to see all of my projects.

We are small company started two years ago and are just starting to get traction in the market. We provide a real estate search engine for selling, rentals and commercial property in the USA, Australia and UK. Two years from now we plan on standing next to Trulia and Zillow - help us make that happen.
The site will need to be attractive to a wide demographic of people. The majority of visitors are home buyers, 30-60 years of age in the USA. We don't want something too different but an experience that will make it stand out from other portals and make people want to come back.
While the site must look good, this is not a brochure site, content and functionality is as important as looks. The site should not be overdone with stock art that has no real purpose. The banner and logo section will need to be replicated across all pages so it should be easy to do so. Footer will contain a fair amount of text information for SEO.
The current site is at http://www.baseestate.com. The current logo and color scheme may be retained but probably touched up a bit.
Two sites that I like the design of are http://www.move.com, http://www.themovechannel.co.uk and http://www.zoopla.co.uk, they are stylish but not overdone, particularly Zoopla.
The kind of elements that should be on the home page are
1. Navigation bar
2. Search box
3. Information boxes such as 'About Us' and 'Featured Properties'
The current logo is at http://www.baseestate.com/content/logo.png.
Files that will be required are a layered .psd and any clipart or stock images or non-standard fonts if required.

In conclusion, this review reported that IL-37 has a crucial role in reducing infection-associated inflammation and has a good impact on inflammation-induced pathology. However, tight regulation that achieved balance between effector immune responses that required for pathogen elimination and limited tissue damage that resulted from excessive inflammation should be existed in the potential IL-37 therapy to prevent clinical complications of a disease.

My father-in-law has a painting by Vu Cao Dam of two girls and a man on horseback. He found a hidden fox in the painting, and today we were looking at it and found some more.
What do you call it when an artist intentionally puts a hidden image within a larger work of art? My father-in-law swears there is a word, and that it is a general term which can apply to different media. It can apply to actors who make cameos or easter eggs in software.
What word is this?

Chicago quarterback Josh McCown made a strong case to become the team's permanent starter after he dominated Dallas in a 45-28 win on Monday that vaulted the Bears into joint first place in the NFC North.
Making his fourth straight start in place of the injured Jay Cutler, McCown warmed up the home crowd in freezing conditions by passing for 348 yards, four touchdowns and running for another score.
The 34-year-old McCown has been stellar all season and now has 13 touchdown passes and just one interception. His latest output helped Chicago (7-6) tie with Detroit (7-6) in the divisional race.
However, despite McCown's strong form, Cutler is expected to return from injury soon and regain his place.
"There's no change in the plan. We'll see where Jay is this week," Bears coach Marc Trestman told reporters of the stated plan to start Cutler when he's cleared medically. "I thought [McCown] played an excellent game."
Matt Forte rushed for 99 yards and added 73 receiving yards and a score for the Bears in a shootout victory that did not include a turnover by either team.
Dallas (7-6) fell one game behind first-place Philadelphia (8-5) in the NFC East with the loss.
The Cowboys managed to keep pace early and tied the game 14-14 late in the second quarter, but McCown caught fire and never looked back.
Chicago's backup quarterback led two quick drives just before halftime, resulting in a field goal and a 25-yard touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery as the Bears scored 28 points without reply to put the game out of reach.
McCown's pass to Jeffery featured a spectacular grab in the back corner of the end zone, where the receiver leaped above a defender.
"You want to put a ball where a guy can catch it, but not put the ball in jeopardy, so to speak," McCown said. "My part was relatively easy. His part was unreal."
Dallas tallied two fourth-quarter touchdowns to trim the final deficit.
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw for three scores, but only 104 yards, while running back DeMarco Murray picked up 146 yards on the ground.

We aim to maintain high standards at all times, and we're keen to improve what we do and how we do it. We accept complaints and other feedback about anything that we do or are connected with.
If you make a complaint to us, we will aim to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction and ours.
We have separate complaint processes for:
These are set out below.
This applies to all complaints except complaints about properties that we are directly responsible for.
If you've been dealing with someone already, you can send your complaint to them.
If you prefer, you can email email@example.com.
Stage 1 Your complaint will be investigated and responded to by an appropriate member of our staff. Who this is will depend on what the complaint is about.
We aim to resolve all complaints, to your satisfaction and ours, at Stage 1.
Stage 2 If you're not satisfied with the response at Stage 1, we may refer your complaint to a member of our Executive team to investigate further and respond to you.
Stage 3 If you're not satisfied with the response at Stage 2, and if the Executive team member handling the complaint thinks it is serious enough, they may refer it to Wellcome's Director for further review. The Director's decision will be final.
If your complaint is about how a grant was handled or any aspect of our application process, please be aware that any funding decision is final and we cannot reconsider it as part of the complaint process.
If you have a complaint relating to management of a property that we're directly responsible for, you should follow this process.
Stage 1 Put your complaint in writing as soon as possible after the incident and send it by post or email to the manager responsible for the property. If you don't know which manager is responsible, send it to email@example.com and we will either forward it to the relevant property manager or give you their contact details.
You will need to follow the property manager's complaints procedure to its conclusion before you raise a complaint directly with us.
Stage 2 If you have completed the property manager's procedure and you are not satisfied with the result, you can ask for the decision to be referred to Wellcome's property investment team for review. In most cases this will be the final stage.
If we receive a complaint that hasn't already been through Stage 1, we may refer it back to that stage.
Stage 3 If the property investment team thinks that the complaint is serious enough, it may be referred to a managing partner of Investments for review. Their decision will be final.
This process doesn't apply if:
In these cases, you should contact the property manager with any queries.
We aim to respond quickly and politely, and we aim to give fair and reasonable responses. We expect complaints to be made in the same spirit. If a complaint is unreasonable, or if the person making it acts unreasonably, we may depart from our usual complaint processes.
Unreasonable behaviour might include excessive communication, harassment of staff, abuse and refusal to acknowledge communications.
We may vary our complaint processes if we think it appropriate, for example to escalate a particular complaint to a later stage.
Complaints are confidential but we may, if necessary, involve third parties to understand the issues and investigate fully.
We record all serious complaints. We use their outcomes to monitor the performance of our service providers and identify where we can make improvements.
If we receive complaints through any other channels, we will still use the same processes to handle them.

Formula DRIFT Round 4: The Gauntlet – Tickets On Sale
Formula DRIFT Returns to Wall Speedway
First opening in 1950 as Wall Stadium, Wall Speedway as it's now known will host Round 4: The Gauntlet on June 21-22, 2011.
The track lives up to its moniker as the "Gauntlet" with a 16 degree banked oval along the straightaway and 30 degrees on the turns. The drivers will be challenged on this course and this track is the first on the schedule where drivers utilize the entire oval. This course is very tricky and many drivers have fallen victim to the degree of difficulty that the bank, straightaway, and inside turn creates. Each seat in the house has a great view of the action within the "bowl" and fans will not be disappointed.
The final round on the East Coast at Wall Speedway will be one of the most exciting events of the season. The 2-day event weekend will be filled with the best drifting action in the nation with the top drivers putting it all on the line on the very tricky course. Wall Speedway is a very fan-friendly venue and fans will be treated to a great view of all the action.

Cote d'Ivoire's Golden Generation take a final shot at the World Cup and begin their campaign against plucky Asian side Japan in the early hours of Sunday morning for African viewers.
Venue: Arena Pernambuco, Recife
Referee:Enrique Osses (Chile)
Cote d'Ivoire's Golden Generation have been much lauded as a standard for other African sides to reach, but the sad reality is that they have achieved nothing that their potential suggests.
They have failed to win the Africa Cup of Nations, despite going into the last five tournaments arguably as favourites, and on their previous two World Cup appearances they have exited in the first round.
The team has achieved the bare minimum and as the years roll by, so the chances of them writing a glorious history for The Elephants diminish.
They have this final shot at World Cup glory, and perhaps one more go at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco in six months time, and begin their Brazilian campaign against Japan in Recife, late Saturday night local time but in the early hours of Sunday morning for African viewers.
The same old problems continue to dog the side, it is not a matter of finding penetration to exploit the weaknesses of opponents, that they have aplenty, but it is defensive frailties that have let them down in the past.
And in Japan they will come against a side who play with pace and excellent technical ability, a team who will keep the ball on the ground and try to play through the rickety Elephants defence.
Physically the African side will have the advantage in spades, their worry, perhaps, is not to become overly physical.
The big question for coach Sabri Lamouchi is whether he will have star man and African Footballer of the year Yaya Toure available. The midfielder, one of the world's best, has been struggling with a hamstring injury collected towards the end of the last English Premiership season when he helped Manchester City to the title.
Lamouchi admits that they will leave it as late as possible to make a decision on him, such is his importance to the team. It is unlikely he will be risked if not fit though with matches against Greece and Colombia to come.
Japan have won their last five games, all friendlies, including an excellent 3-2 win in Belgium last November.
They do have a habit of conceding needless goals, within that winning run were successes over Belgium (3-2), New Zealand (4-2) and Zambia (4-3), which suggests a flakey defence but a frontline that has the ability to bail them out.
Didier Zokora (Cote d'Ivoire) - Zokora will make his 120^th international appearance and it is that kind of experience that should hold The Elephants in good stead this tournament. They are unlikely to have trouble scoring goals, but it is at the back where they have had problems in the past. Zokora could feature either as a centre-back of a defensive midfielder shielding the back four, but either way he is set to play a pivotal role.
Keisuke Honda (Japan) - Considered by most to be Japan's best player, they often look to the AC Milan attacking midfielder when in times of crises during games and he has a history of delivering. The 27-year-old will channel much of their attacking play and if the Ivoirians can neutralize him they will go a long way to winning the game.
Sabri Lamouchi (Cote d'Ivoire coach) - "Our defensive problems are not just the problems of our defenders. The more players we will have involved in the defensive tasks, the easier it will be for our defenders. We are fully aware of the problems we have encountered. We were faced with injuries and some of our defenders lack playing time, but I count a lot on the experience of those players in such a competition. It is clear that we will have to be more compact. Japan are dynamic, pacey and move quickly forward, so we will need to remain very close from each other."
Alberto Zaccheroni (Japan coach) - "I want us to be really well prepared mentally for this match. We need to make sure the players are not too nervous when they step out onto the field, but we cannot be too relaxed either. We have a squad with an average age of about 27. There is a good balance and I am sure we will start this game with the right approach."

Uwe Osterrieder necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 182 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
Osterrieder Kommunikationskonzepte
I just started running an agency in Germany offering public relations, editorial conception of media (websites, magazines, radio) and coaching.
The impression of the logo should be creative, positive, reputable, professional. I'm not offering design so I need a quite simple logo. My business case is building the idea behind a publication. The message, the editorial structure, the text, the public relations. I make customers visible, interesting… that's the message.
How I am presenting myself at the moment can be seen here:
(well, sorry the text is in german…)
If I find a design here that blows me away, (and my business concept will perform) I'd be glad to hire the designer later on as well for customers projects.
B-B-business. Decision makers in the media, Decision makers in medium-sized business and founders of new business
The Logo will be used on my websites, business cards, powerpoint, invoices a.s.o.
"Osterrieder" is my last name and the actual brand. The second word "Kommunikationskonzepte" means communication concepts and is the generic term for what I offer in PR, Marketing, Conception. Thats the company name. (If a one man show can be called company)
Depending on the business case, the second word will change to "Coaching" or "Public Relations"
The artwork should include the two words plus a key visual.
The key visual does not necessarily contain both letters "O" and "K". If it looks like "OK" ("Okay") great, but that's just an option, I'm open to any idea.
In media conception I am not focused on a special media category, so microphones, books, letters a.s.o. would be misleading.
The key visual should also look good in small versions (for twitter, as a favicon a.s.o.) and in greyscale
My current colour is #003366 which gives a professional impression but that's not to be carved in stone.
The logo has to be scalable and vectorized.
Because I have to change the text from "Osterrieder Kommunikationskonzepte" for instance to "Osterrieder Public Relations" I need an open psd-document and the information which font it is.

Green Earth Youth Movement's Top 5 Tips for a Green Prom
1. Create a Car Pool: Drive to the dance with your favorite friends in tow – sans the gas-guzzling bus or limo. When we say car pool, we mean it!
2. Dress for Eco-Success: Why not have your dress serve a greater purpose? Check out dresses that use organic fabrics like bamboo and hemp, so the material is biodegradable. Once you're done with your digs, donate it to a less-fortunate teen via DonateMyDress.org.
3. "Green" your 'do: Ditch the energy-exhausting electric curlers and curling iron. Rag curls create soft, graceful curls that will last all night. Just remember: you'll want to do this the night before since you're counting on Mother Nature to set the curl.
4. Go Paperless:Instead of the prominvites, go the tree-saving approach by using a service like evite.com.
5. Make Prom Matter:If you do any or all of the above, you'll save a bundle, so why not consider giving a portion of your promproceeds to a charity or non-profit organization?

Customer Testimonial
"Better Day™ significantly compresses the time it takes to document, code and complete documentation and billing."
- John Noble, Jr, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon
Automate Documentation
Better Day™ Health is a clinical operating system and clinical documentation software platform that replaces legacy electronic health records (EHR) systems while streamlining data capture/entry, significantly compressing the amount of time it takes physicians to document, code and complete the documentation and billing processes for their patients. As such, Better Day™ Health's patented, voice-driven documentation solution provides an easy way for physicians and providers to quickly document patient information - eliminating the need for scribes, transcriptionist, and administrative help.
Save Time, Work Smarter
As the first of an entirely new class of software focused on connecting a broad range of Internet-powered mobile devices, Better Day™ enables on-the-go clinicians to capture more complete patient notes in a highly-accessible way without wasting time. In doing so, Better Day™ enables an entirely new class of automated clinical documentation. Broadly, Better Day™ allows healthcare providers to focus more on patients and less on technology.
Focus on Patient Care
The Better Day™ Health platform facilitates highly-efficient data collection throughout the patient encounter cycle. Because the Better Day™ platform also uses nearly 100% structured data, it not only automates clinical documentation, but it also stores that data in a secure and safe manner - one that promotes team-based approaches and collaborative care in ways that lower practice costs, maximize regulatory incentives, and improve quality of care.
