Kate Welti <email@example.com> :
Are clusters balanced (roughly equal number of kids per classroom)?
If so, use the vce(cluster classroom) option to get correct SEs. If
not, still use it, but be aware that SEs may be biased downward. See
http://www.stata.com/meeting/13uk/nichols_crse.pdf and refs therein,
esp. Rogers and Kezdi (both linked from the PDF).

2 GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY TV Spots - "Ch…ch…ch... Cherry Bomb!"
"You're a good looking girl, you should try to be more nice to people."
Marvel has released two new TV spots for Guardians of the Galaxy, and they both contain some awesome new footage that you're going to want to see! One of the spots includes the classic song "Cherry Bomb," which is why I used it in the title. I absolutely love the musical selections used for the marketing of this film! The highly anticipated Marvel film hits theaters on August 1st!

Trae Golden ruled eligible to play at Georgia TechAP , Associated Press
Oct. 17, 2013 4:25 PM ET
ATLANTA (AP) — The NCAA has ruled Trae Golden, who played the last three seasons at Tennessee, is eligible to play in the 2013-14 season at Georgia Tech.
Golden, a guard, is a native of Powder Springs, Ga., who attended McEachern High School. He transferred to Georgia Tech this summer to be closer to his family.
Coach Brian Gregory announced Thursday the NCAA approved the waiver of the year-in-residency requirement for transfers. The 6-foot-2 Golden averaged 9.7 points and 3.6 assists while playing in 96 career games, including 58 starts, for Tennessee.
Golden averaged 12.1 points and 3.9 assists as a junior last season. He set a career high by averaging 13.6 points per game as a sophomore.

Brad Pitt may be one of Hollywood's sexiest men, but even sexy men have problems making movies. Brad talked with New York Magazine about the trials and tribulations behind making his newest film Moneyball. The film tells the story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane who was able to take a fledgling team and make it work via math and strategy.
Sure it's not quite a film being shot in Europe where Brad can rent private trains, but it is touted as being the film that will finally get Brad that Oscar. Think of it as Blindside but about a guy and baseball. This wasn't an easy film to make. In the summer of 2009 it was all ready to go: Brad as the star, Steven Soderbergh as director, Demetri Martin as Brad's right hand man–it was great. Till the studio caught wind that the film was taking a more documentary approach and the film was stopped.
Brad continued to champion it though. "I just couldn't let it go." So the script got fixed, got a new director and a new right hand man in Jonah Hill. Brad said of Jonah, "Jonah's a revelation in this thing—he's a study in reserve. I think the most interesting work that's been going on in the last couple of years is what the comedy guys have been doing. Guys like Jonah and Russell Brand and [Seth] Rogen and a few others … they picked up on an irreverence that started with Adam Sandler and continued with Will Ferrell, but they've been grounding it in a kind of pathos and humanity. I find it really strong work."
PHOTOS: Brad Pitt & the Family Hit the British Theater
Brad is happy with the product though. He even got a producing credit on it. I don't mind the struggle as long as the work amounts to something in the end. I look at the movie now, and I feel everyone's fingerprints are on it. It's been … well, listen. It's been an interesting process." You guys gonna check out the film? Let us know in the comments.

Here It Is
He sounded dead serious to me as well.
Simply put, Boldin makes Flacco a better quarterback.
Jamal also had a 2K+ yard season while in purple and black. That's nothing to sneeze at. Personally, I put him in my personal ROH for the 295 yard Browns game, alone. Damn, that was fun.
Mason had pretty great single games too. And you want to talk about a team player, do you remember the Dallas game where he seperated his shoulder, yet went out and caught a TD and played remainder of the game with one arm basically DANGLING?
But again, I think he's a borderline case. I think the fact that the Ravens had the retirement press conference with him could work in his favor, as obviously we were in agreement about having it to celebrate his time as a Raven. I could see the argument on either side.
Boldin has a ring and his character over Mason. With some more stats, he moves into slam dunk category for me.
Derrick Mason did a lot for the Baltimore community as well and showed toughness on the field. However, I do not think that Jamal's attitude, late his career, rivals Mason's.
Anquan Boldin's comments, in response to a question about Cam Cameron, were intriguing. He gave off the sense that he felt the team would have won, in spite of Cam Cameron, had he not been fired.
Boldin playing for the Ravens next year would cause heartburn for opposing Dc's. Flacco would have the same receivers for 3 years in a row, has that ever happened for him before(beside Heap and Mason)? I mean 3 receivers who are healthy most of the season and can stretch the field.

The Netherlands has a great history in the development of sciences and medicine. Museum Boerhaave shows over five centuries of inventions and discoveries in several sciences.
About Museum Boerhaave
A short description:
Museum Boerhaave is the Dutch National Museum for the History of Science and Medicine. In 1931 it opened its doors. Since 1991 Museum Boerhaave is located in the former Caecilia Hospital, in the centre of Leiden. In terms of the history of science and medicine, the collections in Museum Boerhaave are among the most important in the world. This history begins in the middle of the 16th century, which is also the time of the earliest objects on display in the museum, including the not-to-be-missed world's oldest herbarium. From the Dutch 'golden age' (17th century) come Willem Blaeu's giant quadrant, microscopes by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek and pendulum clocks by Christiaan Huygens, his planetarium and telescope. The 18th century is splendidly represented by the cabinets – science demonstration laboratories – of professors 's Gravesande and Van Musschenbroek. The huge quantity of 19th-century objects includes Dr Zander's physiotherapeutic devices and the papier-mâché anatomical models of Dr Auzoux. The 20th century was a second golden age in the nation's scientific endeavours. Dutch researchers won Nobel Prize after Nobel Prize: Van 't Hoff, Lorentz, Zeeman, Van der Waals, Kamerlingh Onnes and Willem Einthoven are represented many times in the museum.
Museum Boerhaave has curators in the different kinds of fields the museum represents, has its own, well equipped restoration atelier, and also an information centre with expertise about collection databases and digitisations of archive material.
The historic building in which Museum Boerhaave is located has had various functions over time. The original nunnery of St Caecilia dates from the early 15th century. Originally a nunnery, the building had become municipal property after the Reformation and shortly before 1600 was converted into a 'plague hospital and madhouse'. In 1635 it became an University hospital. It was here, around 1720, that Herman Boerhaave gave his famous sickbed lessons that drew medical students to Leiden from around the world.
After extensive restoration, the building has been used as a museum since 1991. The Boerhaave rooms are used for temporary exhibitions.

Part #2 of my rural living story
Part #2 of my rural living story is about the main street of our small town. Again, overwhelmed by all I seen and thought about, I wrote this out. I'll add to it at the end, now being 9 months later.
The main street
Have you ever found yourself back in time when you've gone on a trip and gone through some rural towns. Have you wondered where they come up with some of the main streets when you've seen a movie. Ever thought about how the names came about for streets and where the first Main street began. Well after going for a walk I know I for sure have stepped back in time and I'm a loving it.
Can I tell you about our main street. There is an older building, probably the old town hall which now houses the fire truck. Its a two story building, with the windows upstairs all boarded in. Cracks are on the wall and outside is a huge bell which I wonder what it was used for. Did they use those to ring out a fire, be it a home, business or prairie fire. Was it used to call school children or did they use it for ringing out church services.
Further on down, is the old Solo store which now houses the musuem and in the front windows are a butter churn (two different types), the glass one and the old wooden one. There is an old phonograph that played records where you placed the needle down and it played the music but in such funny sounds. The speaker (as such) is large, round and black. Along with that is a homemade high chair, a buggie I'd give my eye tooth for, a doctor's bag from when the doctors visited the home along with a few other antiques. That will be my first visit this summer as soon as it opens.
Walking down the sidewalks, I see older buildings, many for sale. This street looks like it come right out of the movies where cowboys and Indians fought. Not boarded up as of yet, but cracks in the brick walls, unpainted outsides and a reminder that the town was once a thriving town but is now dying. No, I have that wrong, its not dying. There are 2 grocery stores, 2 hardware stores, a Ford dealer, a variety store, a drop in centre and the town hall (a smaller building down the street). They have a new credit union and a post office. Plus we've increased their population by 5, us.
Further down is the elevator, still standing tall, reminding us that this is grain country. It too is old and dilapitated, not quite falling down but long past it's time. I wonder, will it be exchanged for the brand new elevators they build today, with cement, telling travellers that were still in the prairies but have advanced to the 21st century. I wonder too, how many times did farmers meet there with their grain only to see the prices fall. Did they survive or did they turn to other careers, leaving behind farms and a way of life.
The Ford dealership has been around for 60 years, passed down from generation to generation. How many men talked of their dreams to own a car or truck there. How many bought their first car there, who knows. Did they talk of families and farming or did they just dream about owning that new Ford that first came out so many years ago. Was it there they purchased their very first car as a young man? Do they reminisce of the wars they fought in and talk about what the world is doing today? Do they gather there still to talk of days gone past.
Then there is the hardware store, again there for 50 years. This too has been passed down from generation to generation. What changes have they seen. Walking into the store is like walking into a gold mine because they have everything from soup to nuts and the kitchen sink. You can barely walk the two isles and to find something, well thats a story all in itself. The older man tells you to call him "old chuck" and his son, a special needs adult smiles and rocks back and forth, working the till though from I'm sure much training. A huge cat strolls out to meet you the minute you walk in, rubbing against your legs, ready for you to pick him up.
Then there are the buildings for sale. Older buildings, yet useful. I wonder, will someone purchase them. Only time will tell.
Further on my walk is a "caboose". There no longer used on trains, but our small town has made use of a "caboose". This I guess would be called recycling. It is the tourist information centre, opened during the summer. Right on main street.
Next comes the small town office, where they aren't quite sure where to find things because everything is piled quite high. No computer here, they use the good old book keeping books of long ago.
Then comes the church which I'm sure could tell many stories, of marriages, deaths, little ones being baptized and such. An old building, we can see it out our ds's bedroom window, a reminder of how faith was such an important part of rural life. Another street boasts another church and on another street stands another church, built in 1894 the same year we expect our home was built. Are there services at these churches, I'm not sure. But I am sure, each one can tell stories that would be something to hear I'm sure.
Do you get the picture of going back into a time where families were so very important, where families passed down from generation to generation businesses, where faith was an integral part of rural living along with farming and such. I've taken to walking everyday just to enjoy this street, to gaze in awe at the buildings and wonder what they could tell me could they talk. I go too just to see the older generation and wonder how much I'll learn from them once I get to know them.
Yes I do love it here more with each passing day. Dd wrote to her penpal today and said "I love country living, its so quiet." I have to agree "I love country living, not only is it quiet but it has so much to tell."
Added on: I've now been to most of these buildings and have enjoyed getting to know the owners/managers of many of these places. They are warm and caring people, who have made us feel so at home here. I watch often while in my vehicle, the older generation trying to keep our town from dying by purchasing as many items has they can at each store. They don't travel to nearby towns or cities, only because they know what its like to have to move when a town dies.
As I walk these streets, older gentleman smile and say hi and the elderly ladies are so sweet. Always a smile on their face and yet I know they've all gone through heartache and struggles, just as we do today.
Do I still love our small rural town and have the same enthusiasm I did 9 months ago. Yes and its grown. The gentle quietness and simple living is everywhere I go and yet the 21st century is also coming. We now have more interac services from when we first came and yet I really am back in time, where checks are honored, where credit is still given without cc, and where a simple handshake means something.
More tomorrow!!

Mr Albanese also told a conference in the US on Wednesday that the company was "not opposed to tax reform per se but it should protect against sovereign risk and improve industry competitiveness".
"We are especially concerned about the inclusion of existing businesses and the arbitrary nature of the 40 per cent tax rate.
"Over the past few weeks, we have been shocked by the Australian government and their recent proposal for an excess profits tax," he said.
Mr Albanese said Rio Tinto would not have invested as heavily in Australia in recent years, especially Western Australia's Pilbara region, if the RSPT had been in place.
"We have ourselves invested about $38 billion since 2000 - fully reinvesting everything we've earned on an after-tax basis," he said.
"If the super tax had been in place, I think you can be assured that the Pilbara business would have been a lot smaller business now than it actually is today."
Mr Albanese said Rio Tinto would continue to invest in Australia "but on different terms and under different risks".
"I've already asked our managers to re-evaluate all new capital projects under worst-case tax scenario.
"Anything that reduces competitiveness and increases country risk will undoubtedly affect that country's investment.
"Unfortunately Australian policymakers will risk de-rating their mining industry if they're not careful.
"And if the government had chosen to engage with us at first, before announcing what they did last week, perhaps they could have avoided the damage that now has been done."
Mr Albanese said commentary that Australia was going down the path of nationalisation was warranted.
He said it was "a bit bothering" that the government was in effect saying it would like to be Rio Tinto's partner, taking 40 per cent of its pre-tax profits on past, present and future investments.
"But of course, we're still allowed to run the business.
"For good reason, people are beginning to use terms like nationalisation and expropriation for this new partnership.
"And this will not help Australia's future investment climate."
Mr Albanese also said the miner had been surprised by the government's rhetoric surrounding the proposed tax.
"First, we've been referred to as a foreigner as has BHP," he said.
"Now I know I don't have the right accent, but we have been a key part of the investment fabric and the social fabric of Australia for most of the last century."
These were the first comments the New Jersey-born executive had made about the RSPT announced last week, which triggered a stream of outraged statements from other mining companies.

Swimming-diving teams fall to Cornell
December 7, 2010Tweet
The Binghamton University swimming and diving program was once again defeated by Cornell University on Dec. 4. The Bearcats have never beaten the Big Red since they began competing on the Division I level. The men (2-2) fell 154-146, while the women (3-1) were handed their first loss of the season, 189-111.
Four different Binghamton men swam to multiple victories during the meet. Senior Jason Chen won three events while Phil Dzieniszewski, Joe Perez-Rogers and David Gleason each won two. The foursome also broke the pool record for the 400 medley relay, finishing in a time of 3:26.04.
The senior duo of Chen and Dzieniszewski got the Bearcats off to a fast start, but Binghamton could not hold off its upstate rival. Chen won the 50 free (21.67), 100 free (47.67) and 100 IM (52.99). Dzieniszewski touched first in the 50 breast (56.44) and 50 fly (23.46). Junior Joe Perez-Rogers placed first in both backstroke events, finishing with a time of 24.13 in the 50 back and 51.49 in the 100 back. Sophomore David Gleason won a pair of distance events, taking the 200 (1:42.74) and 500 free (4:42.85).
Sophomores Tim Cabasino and Josh Saccurato had solid performances for Binghamton. The classmates finished second and third in the 100 fly, while placing in the top three in other events. Cabasino touched third in the 100 breast (1:00.47) as Saccurato did the same in the 100 back (54.30).
Sophomore Anthony Foiles faired the best for Binghamton on the boards. He placed third in both the one and three-meter dive. Foiles earned the Bearcats six points with scores of 251.55 in the meter dive and 258.08 in the three-meter.
The men finished off the meet on a high note, winning the 200 free relay. The foursome of Gleason, Perez-Rogers, Cabasino and Dzieniszewski won the event in the time of 1:25.65, touching just before the Cornell team (1:25.81).
The women, riding a three-meet winning streak, received another standout performance from senior captain Amanda Ciccone. She won the 100 fly (56.44), 100 free (52.42) and 100 IM (59.78) while swimming the anchor leg on the first place 400 medley relay team. Ciccone has won multiple events in every Binghamton dual meet this season.
Sophomore Tiffany Siu was the only other winner on the day for the Bearcats, but there were several strong performances. Siu won the 500 free in a time of 5:04.54. Seniors Brittany Detlef and Danielle Gallo swam well for the Bearcats. Detlef touched second and third in the 50 fly and 50 back, respectively. Gallo swam to a pair of third-place finishes in the 50 and 100 breast.
Freshman Racquel Giner placed second behind Ciccone in the 100 IM with a time of 1:02.60. She also finished fourth in the 200 free.
On the boards for the women, Morgan Neal placed second in the three-meter dive with a score of 212.78. In the meter dive, Jenna Easton was Binghamton's top scorer, finishing third with a total of 205.35.
Binghamton is off until Jan. 14, when the Bearcats welcome Niagara to the Patricia A. Saunders Aquatic Center.

In a keynote address at the occasion, the Special Adviser explained that every human being has the capacity to learn and be transformed, further stated that 'every society has core values which are important to the people and which serve to preserve the culture, norms and values'. She was fully convinced that 'in Nigeria we have great core values and norms that have sustained the society for a long time'.
Dr. Jubril reminded both male and female teenagers in attendance, on the need to preserve their integrity and to avoid unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.
In his remarks, Dr Sunday Nwangele the State Commissioner for Health also appreciated WHO, Nigeria for sponsoring the campaign, stating that 'the burden of teenage pregnancies has become a major public health problem in the Nigerian society'. In addition, he was of the opinion that the attendant health risks such as unsafe abortions, mental and social effects of unwanted pregnancies were increasingly jeopardizing the educational, physical, mental and social development of a lot of teenagers who are caught in the web of teenage pregnancy.
The programme which was attended by over a thousand teenagers from various secondary schools in and around Abakaliki, was also graced by the wife of the attorney general of the state, the directors of Bell and Bridge Crystal Foundation, officials of Ebonyi State Ministries of Health and Women affairs, WHO and UNFPA.

Hi, click here for the service manual for the M8000 winch. Wiring diagrams are included in the manual.
I was very excited to see the entire winch manual until I scrolled down to the solenoid wiring diagram. It is not for my winch. My winch (serial no. 270263) has only a 3 wire remote switch but has four solenoids, but they are like the older Ford car and truck starter solenoids, not like the "base" mounted solenoids as shown in this manual. They bolt on from the "back" and have a large terminal on each side (for full current) and two small terminals on the "front" of each for the control wiring. Can you please check this out and re-reply to me?
I found that one online. Any good?

IceCaps Assign Cullity and Bell to ECHL teams Posted by IceCaps on
The St. John's IceCaps today announced they have assigned defencemen Patrick Cullity to the Idaho Steelheads and Zach Bell to the Ontario Reign of the ECHL.
Cullity, 26, played in 14 games last season with the IceCaps where he had two assists and 12 penalty
minutes. He also appeared in 39 games with the Steelheads where he recorded 14 points (3G, 11A) and 30 penalty minutes and seven games with the AHL's Spingfield Falcons where he was scoreless.
Cullity was undrafted and turned pro in 2010 after four seasons with the University of Vermont.
Bell, signed by the IceCaps earlier this week, played in 67 games with the Brampton Battalion of the Ontario Hockey League last season. In that time, the right-handed defensemen recorded 27 points (9G, 18A) and 50 penalty minutes. The 20-year-old also appeared in five post-season games with the club and accumulated four penalty minutes.
The St. John's, NL native has played 234 games with Brampton over four seasons for 65 career OHL points (17G, 48A) and 253 OHL career penalty minutes.

Bullying comic Justin Lee Collins has been offered a chance to resurrect his TV career… in Celebrity Big Brother.
The 38-year-old, found guilty last month of harassing his ex-girlfriend Anna Lark, is mulling over the potential £100,000 deal, say Channel 5 bosses.
Lee Collins has told friends the court case "made life difficult" but he wants to put it behind him and get back on screen and show people "the real JLC".
He was sentenced to 140 hours of unpaid work for his campaign of abuse against Anna, which left her living in "fear of violence".
A Channel 5 source said: "He has done wrong but he has done his community service and going on the show could be the break he needs.
"People will be able to see him 24/7 and see what he is really like and then make up their minds if he has changed."
The controversial move is expected to be met with fury by anti-abuse campaigners.
His spokesman declined to comment.
Last month. the Mirror exclusively revealed two of Justin Lee Collins' rant tapes...

Background noises can be good for productivity, no wonder that many like to go to a coffee shop, where non-critical tasks can be done pleasantly while sipping a cup of joe. As for me, I like rain and thunderstorms, but sadly I can't control the weather, and people around me would be cross anyway.
Recently I found Noizio on Mac, an app that lets you configure your own set of ambient sounds in the background. I enjoy using it, but mostly I work on Windows, and they didn't develop this app for my system. I wish someone made one! Well, actually...
Just set up which sounds you'd like to hear, adjust the volume for them individually and enjoy! If you've been looking for Noizio for Windows, look no further.
Developing this application was a lot of fun. The makers of Noizio didn't hide the sounds and artwork they used in their app, it was easy to extract them. When I looked into if I could implement such a multi-channel audio player, it turned out to be a smaller challenge than I anticipated. The rest of the work was just making everything work well and look pretty.
I don't work on Windows Forms applications too often, so I took the chance to try some new things with this one.
- The app utilizes DPI scaling, works well on all DPI settings. On High DPI displays it uses high resolution images; looks great on my retina Macbook Pro.
- I got to create and use custom controls for each sound, even the volume slider is custom to avoid displaying a selector border around them.
- It's available as Installer and Portable versions.
- The installer version saves sound settings in the user's Application Data folder, so it's usable by multiple users on the same computer, and also by roaming. The portable version saves sound settings in the application's folder.
Download the app for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
The app requires .net Framework 4.6 and Windows SmartScreen is going to complain about the installer because it's not digitally signed by a known publisher. You can install it anyway, won't harm your computer.
Big thanks to the makers of Noizio for the sounds and images, they deserve all the credit for those. Go and check them out if you've got a Mac!

Writing As an Act of Feminism
Note: In this Religion Roundtable, we've asked the authors of three prominent faith memoirs to write about their views on—and experience of—female spirituality. Check back here every few days to hear Jana Riess, Lauren Winner, and Sarah Sentilles discuss the unique religious questions facing women today.
In the words of Rosi Braidotti, "I wish that feminism would shed its saddening, dogmatic mode to rediscover the merrymaking of a movement that aims to change life."
Of course, women do not have to write explicitly feminist books—to suggest as much would be, in my view, profoundly unfeminist. Women should be able to write about all kinds of things, from all kinds of perspectives—a woman should be able to write a book about corporations of gardening or geometry that does not make explicit feminist concerns.
That said, the very act of women writing and publishing may itself be said to be a feminist act—especially when the topic is religion ("author" being related to "authorship"—and many of our communities being, tacitly or explicitly, still ambivalent about women's spiritual or religious authority). (For this matter, given the gendering of science and math, maybe a woman writing a book on geometry may also be considered a feminist act?)
It seems fair—indeed, helpful—to make a distinction between, on the one hand, a work such as Flunking Sainthood (and also, by my reading, Breaking up with God) where a feminist point-of-view is part and parcel of everything the author writes and thinks; and, on the other hand, a work whose concerns are explicitly, closely tied to classical (and/or recent theoretical) questions about gender and feminism. I would say Sarah's previous book, A Church of Her Own, falls in the second category (and, from the Woolfish title, the reader knows she is to read it as such).
When I look at my own writing, I feel I can say with Jana that feminism is part and parcel of how I approach the world, and it will show up, in various forms and fashions, in most everything I write, but very little that I have written overtly tackles questions of feminist theology.
I wonder about how Christians with feminist commitments can or should engage—or at least acknowledge—the many Christian women with explicitly anti-feminist commitments. I am not talking here about some mythical sisterhood. But if I see myself as part of the body of Christ, and that body includes women with very, very different views of gender, what do I do with that? Indeed, setting aside the question of the body of Christ, what does feminism bid us to do with the anti-feminist commitments of other women?
Finally, I note that both Sarah and I have at various times used romantic metaphors to describe our spiritual lives—I talk about a sense that I divorced Judaism in Girl Meets God, and Sarah uses the break up metaphor. I wonder if, in so doing, we are actually figuring ourselves as the "romantic heroine" literary archetype—inscribing our spiritual narratives in a set of metaphors that is, in some ways, unfeminist. I wonder—would our most thoroughly feminist move be to move to wholly different metaphorical landscapes?
Lauren F. Winner's newest book is Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith crisis. Her other books include Girl Meets God and Mudhouse Sabbath. Lauren teaches at Duke Divinity School, and lives in Durham, North Carolina. Lauren travels extensively to lecture and teach. During the academic year of 2007-2008, she was a visiting fellow at the Center for the Study of Religion at Princeton University, and during the academic year of 2010-2011, she was a visiting fellow at the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale University. When she's home, you can usually find her curled up, on her couch or screen porch, with a good novel.

Jaime King and Jamie Chung Join 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For;' Major Casting Still Underway
Posted on Monday, October 29th, 2012 by Germain Lussier
As soon as Robert Rodriguez finished filming Machete Kills, he jumped right into his next movie. That movie is Sin City 2, aka Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, which began filming on Monday with two actresses familiar with the genre. Jaime King is returning for the sequel, playing the sister of her character from the first movie, and Jamie Chung is playing the role Devon Aoki had in the 2005 original.
Rodriguez is co-directing once again with Frank Miller, who wrote the original comics and, once again, the movie will consist of multiple stories. However, unlike the original movie, one of the stories in the sequel is brand new and written specifically for the film. A Dame to Kill For is scheduled for release October 4, 2013. Read more after the jump. Read More »

Radiation sciences professionals work with a team of health professionals to gather accurate patient information for diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury. Technologists operate x-ray, CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), radiation therapy, ultrasound, and similar equipment essential in a hospital or health care setting.
Technologists must possess knowledge, skill, and mature judgment to operate complex equipment safely and efficiently. They produce quality images using multiple sources of radiation and they deliver quality patient care during diagnosis and treatment procedures.
Pursuing this degree as an undergraduate at Iowa allows you to complete the mandatory competencies and courses that allow you to apply to take the national board exams required to practice professionally.
Why Study at Iowa?
Iowa's Radiation Sciences program has an excellent reputation and student pass rate for certification exams. It offers six areas of specialization within the field.
The program is sponsored by University of Iowa Health Care in cooperation with the university's Carver College of Medicine and the Department of Radiology. It is affiliated with University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC), one of the nation's largest public university teaching hospitals.
These connections, and the program's location on the University of Iowa health sciences campus, provide a wealth of world-class resources and learning opportunities for students.
Iowa offers a related undergraduate degree program in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
Course Work
There are two components to the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in radiation sciences: prerequisite course work and courses for one of six professional programs or tracks.
Prerequisite course work is completed in accordance with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' General Education Program, including the required courses for Radiation Sciences outlined in the UI General Catalog.
During the fall semester of their first year, students may be eligible to apply to an area of specialization in one of these three-year tracks:
- Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) and General and Vascular
- Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) and Cardiac and Vascular
- Radiologic Technology (RT) and Cardiovascular Intervention (CVI)
- Radiologic Technology (RT) and Computed Tomography (CT)
- Radiologic Technology (RT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
During the fall semester of their second year, students may be eligible to apply to a two-year track:
- Radiation Therapy (RTT) and Computed Tomography (CT)
See Radiation Sciences in the UI General Catalog for additional information.
Admission Requirements
Students interested in Radiation Sciences initially apply to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a Radiation Sciences Interest major and complete the prerequisite course work.
Acceptance into the Carver College of Medicine Radiation Sciences major is selective, requiring an application, essay, and interview. Hands-on patient care and job-shadowing experience is highly recommended.
Admission Requirements Tabs
Student Opportunities
In addition to having nearly 500 Student Organizations, Iowa students choose from multiple Living-Learning Communities, Study Abroad Programs, and Undergraduate Research Opportunities.
Students in this major may be interested in the Health Sciences Living-Learning Community in the residence halls.
Iowa graduates have excellent job placement rates ranging from 86-100 percent, depending on their area of study, and our Pomerantz Career Center offers multiple resources to help students find jobs.
The career outlook for radiation sciences graduates is bright and the majority of students are employed shortly after graduation. Graduates generally find jobs in hospitals, clinics, imaging centers, and physicians' offices. With experience, and sometimes additional education, they may find related jobs in management, sales, education, or as application specialists.
Most radiation sciences professionals with full-time jobs work 40 hours a week and may have holiday, weekend, evening, night, and on-call hours.
The American Society of Radiologic Technologists' 2013 wage and salary survey reports the mean national salary at $63,545 for CT technologists, $67,379 for CVI technologists, $68,384 for MRI technologists, $70,701 for DMS technologists, and $78,602 for radiation therapists.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook reports the national median wage estimates in May 2012 were $54,620 for radiologic technologists, $65,360 for MRI technologists, $65,860 for diagnostic medical sonographers, and $77,560 for radiation therapists.
Students who complete Iowa's professional radiation sciences programs are eligible to take national certification exams administered by the appropriate national agency in order to practice.
Licensure laws for radiographers vary from state to state. Iowa is a licensing state, requiring radiographers to have a permit to practice. Passing the national exam is a criterion used to issue a permit to practice.
The Office of Admissions and the Office of Student Financial Aid are great resources for students seeking scholarships.
Application Process
Application Process Tabs
Apply to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences declaring a "radiation sciences interest" on your application.

You might assume that being made redundant when you're on maternity leave is illegal. But you'd be wrong. Though the law gives women some protection, it's still perfectly legal for employers to give new mothers the boot while they're off, claiming their job is no longer required.
So what about dads who choose to take advantage of their parental leave entitlement when their baby is born? All parents can now take up to four weeks off unpaid over the course of a year to care for a child. Add on two weeks statutory paternity leave, throw in a fortnight's holiday, and bingo, you're off work for a couple of months once your baby's made its appearance.
The three main political parties are proposing - in different formats - to make even more extended periods of leave a statutory right for new fathers. But as my partner, Richard, discovered recently after the birth of our son, some men could find themselves out of a job just when they think they're heading back to the office.
Our plan was always that Richard would take several months unpaid sabbatical (a perk of his terms and conditions) so we could share the childcare in those precious early days.
After discussions with his employer, "who was amenable but slightly scoffing and clearly thought it was an odd sort of notion for a man to want to look after a baby," Richard notes - five months leave was agreed. A matter of days before he was due to start back at work, he was informed that his position was likely to be made redundant.
It feels as though Richard's extended period of paternity leave was used as a way of getting rid of a longstanding, and therefore relatively expensive member of staff.
Men have, essentially, the same rights as women on maternity leave. Employers must be scrupulously careful not to target anyone on parental leave for dismissal if no genuine redundancy exists, warns Emma Hawksworth, employment partner at solicitors Russell Jones & Walker. Compensation is theoretically unlimited in sex discrimination cases, which is how false redundancy linked to parental leave is construed.
Employers, of course, won't be daft enough to cite paternity leave as a reason for redundancy, so proving it is always going to be difficult - as it has typically been for women made redundant during or just after their maternity leave. Employees also go to tribunal at their own cost even if they win: there is no legal aid for this type of claim.
Richard is fighting the redundancy on the grounds that his work responsibilities have not diminished or changed - despite, ironically, his employer's prior agreement to his request for flexible working following his leave period, meaning he now works four, rather than five, days per week. His union agrees that an inadequate case is being made for the redundancy.
But the parallels with women's experience of maternity leave are not encouraging. As Hawksworth points out, "the legal protections of maternity leave don't always match up to what happens in reality. It is very common for a company to 'restructure' during a woman's maternity leave, and sometimes she turns out to be the only one made redundant."
According to a survey of 3,500 dads by parenting website Netmums, 28% of men said their ideal scenario would be to share childcare with their partner while both worked flexibly. However, the same survey showed that only 5% actually manage it. And in a survey of 1,500 readers for FQ magazine, 46% of men said they thought taking extended paternity leave would adversely affect their career.
However, some employers are demonstrating how men can successfully integrate their roles as employees and fathers. Matthew Ellis, an IT project manager for Fujitsu Services, says his company bent over backwards to accommodate his request for an extended period of leave. He requested three weeks off after the birth, and, six months later he was allowed to use 11 weeks from his parental leave entitlement plus three weeks holiday to go travelling as a family.
The benefits are not just an enhanced relationship with his daughter, he says, but also a better appreciation of the work mothers traditionally do.
Striking this kind of deal requires open and honest discussions about how to make the leave work for both parties, advises Patrick Meades, a director at PricewaterhouseCoopers. When he discovered his wife was expecting twins, he knew it would be helpful to take more than the statutory two weeks off. So he chatted with his manager and two months' leave was mutually agreed. "I got to be much more part of the way we work things at home, which means I can do more to take the pressure off," he says.
Now back at work four days a week after subsequent negotiations about flexible working, does Meades feel he is perceived as uncommitted?
"Not at all. There are partners here who work part-time," he says. "If it means my progression is delayed, then I'm happy to take a bit more time."
It could take men a generation to really feel comfortable about taking longer paternity leave, reckons Nic Sale, head of diversity at business psychologist Pearn Kandola. One of the biggest obstacles is macho corporate cultures, she says.
"That means it's very difficult to implement changes when it comes to childcare, unlike in the Nordic countries, which value - in both men and women - more traditionally feminine, nurturing qualities."
Though we don't yet know the outcome of Richard's proposed redundancy, the whole episode has, he says, provided a sharp lesson in the risks that working mothers have faced for a long time. "I think other men in my company might well look at what happened and think, 'Well, he took time off to be with his new baby and was made redundant. Do I want to do the same? Hmm, too risky.'"
Had he known what was in store, would he make the same choices?
"Yes, because having that time with my son is something I'll treasure forever," he says. "But I'm left feeling angry, because it's not a risk that anyone should have to take."
• Names have been changed
Paternity rights
• Currently, two weeks' paternity leave at or around the time of the birth, paid at the statutory paternity pay rate (£117.18 per week).
• All parents, up to 13 weeks' unpaid parental leave (per child) up till their child's fifth birthday. A maximum of four weeks per year.
• Liberal Democrats: would replace maternity leave with 19 months of shared parental leave. No parent to take more than 12 months. First six weeks paid at 90% of salary, remainder at the statutory weekly rate.
• Labour: wants to give fathers up to 26 weeks of additional paternity leave - and pay - in the second six months of a child's first year, if the mother returns to work and has sufficient leave and pay from her 52 week entitlement.
• Conservatives: would retain the first 14 weeks as mother's entitlement, with 38 weeks then available to be split between parents as they choose.

We think ground travel is cool. We have a cutting-edge website that makes planning train and bus travel much easier. Your logo should evoke the excitement of travel, especially by train or bus, with a modern web 2.0 look.
Travelers use Routefriend to plan trips that use ground transportation. Routefriend includes trains, buses, ferries and taxis in addition to flights. The audience is largely student/independent travelers considering taking a bus or train in their search for the best deal. Routefriend has global coverage.
- Logo is consistent with site vibe: "Ground travel is easy, fun and speedy."
- Incorporates the word "routefriend" with a friendly font
- Orange and red color scheme is preferred
- Modern look, rounded edges
- Looks good on a white background
- The logo should be able to be animated. (While the travel search is executing, the logo will animate.)
- Nothing that would evoke old-fashioned or slow...e.g., don't put in a steam engine.
