That is where Mike and I live. All by ourselves, all on our own. heart
September of 2012 we moved out of the studio apartment in Stockton and back in with my parents. I rented a storage unit (Las Palmas Self-Storage!) and almost exclusively took charge of the move. With the move I was also able to sell a lot more of my Sonic the Hedgehog collectibles, the funds from which helped us pay bills and loans while Mike searched for a new job.
It took a long while. About eight months, in fact. A lot happened during that time.
To begin with, Chevy (who I'd formerly known at a distance through the L4D fandom) hopped on the Science Bros ship and he and I began writing a highschool AU together using Googledocs. We are still writing it as of this update; it's over 46 chapters long, 305k words. While at first I was hesitant to become too close of friends with him (preferring to stay writing partners), I slowly opened up; we shared phone calls and Skype calls, and just last month he got on a plane and came to visit me in person, just to visit me. We had a fantastic week of sight-seeing, roller coasters, DDR, and chit-chatting late into the night. He is truly a good friend.
After Christmas, I took my parents aside to inform them of my intention to legally change my name, and that I would be going by Diedrich socially in 2013. Neither took it well, and I was emotionally torn for weeks stretching into months after. My father went to the pyschologist with me and we had a few talks and I shared some transgender information with him; he will refer to me as 'Deedz' now, but continues to use female pronouns. My mother chooses willful ignorance. Thankfully, the physical distance I've gained from them by moving 'out of the nest' has helped me disassociate from the complex feelings I have regarding them. Until (or if) they accept me, I will never be as close to them as I was ever again.
I got my 2nd Dan in Tang Soo Do. cool Another two years and I'll be eligible for promotion to 3rd.
My brother gave college a shot. By that I mean he attended Pepperdine for a single semester, before taking a leave of absense that is still on-going. There was a fair amount of family drama regarding that. He secured himself a night-shift at Wal-mart over summer, but has since quit and is currently unemployed.
Mike meanwhile, got a job at Nvidia, which is why we now reside in Santa Clara. smile I really like it here. It's a nice part of town, we have a walking/running route, almost anywhere you could want to go is convenient, and people are mostly friendly. It's expensive to live here, but Mike pulls in enough that we still have extra for a few nice things. whee Upon settling in, I applied to Great America (only fifteen minutes away) and got a job as Talent for their Haunt. I start scaring next Wednesday (been to a few orientations) and I am very excited. I'm hoping I can get a job with them next summer, perhaps operating a coaster. Finally, a job I want.
So really, a lot of things are going great. To my future self, who will undoubtedly catch the referrence:

The Indian capital's heavy traffic is suffocating its bus system.
Think your wait for the bus is bad? In New Delhi, the average wait time on one of the city's 517 bus routes is 70 minutes.
The preliminary findings of a study by the Institute of Urban Transport and the Urban Mass Transit Company Limited were released today, and the results for the North Indian metropolis are not good. The news adds to Delhi's reputation as a commuter's nightmare: IBM placed Delhi 5th worldwide in its commuter pain index last year, trailing only Johannesburg, Mexico City, Moscow, and Beijing. Delhi is India's largest city in area—688 square miles—and has the second-largest population, at 16,753,000 people.
Plagued by rising car ownership and the ensuing traffic problems—Delhi also hosts one of the world's biggest auto shows every year—city planners see mass transit as the best way to get drivers off the streets. But the Indian capital is confronting a vicious cycle: the more people drive, the slower the buses run. And the slower the buses run, the more people drive. Fifty-five percent of the people who pass through the city's Chirag Delhi intersection do so in buses, though buses make up less than 2 percent [PDF] of vehicles on the road.
The 70-minute wait time average may be inflated by late-night infrequency and rural routes, but there are other damning statistics. Only 34 percent of the city's 8,450 buses meet the study's standard urban bus specification. And there aren't nearly enough of them: Delhi has one bus for every 1,983 people. (New York has one bus for every 1,472 people; Mexico City, thanks to a vast army of microbuses [PDF], has a bus for every 361 people.) Delhi's southern rival Mumbai has 13,239 buses for about 18 million people, or one bus for every 1,390 people.
In an editorial piece that accompanied the results of the study, the Times of India wrote:
"Neither homilies and empty rhetoric, nor harsh words will make people switch over to the public transport system… [the government] has to introduce more buses sooner rather than later."

Man, what a sh*t kicking that was. It feels like just yesterday that our collective jaws dropped watching some kid named Junior Dos Santos working pads like a warrior poet (BRAVEHEART REFERENCE RAAAR) at the UFC 90 open workouts. Nearly four years later he is the champion, and it looks like he could stay in that position for a long time to come. Certainly longer than anyone else in UFC history – no one has managed to defend the heavyweight belt more than twice.
It was clear from the opening bell what Frank Mir's strategy was: take the fight to the ground. But once Dos Santos started landing, that was the end of any kind of rational gameplan execution. From there Frank stood right in front of Junior and got boxed up til a shot to the temple wobbled him and a flurry saw him face plant seconds away from the end of the first round.
To Frank's credit, he got right back up and came out for more in the next round. And Junior Dos Santos was more than happy to serve up a second helping. At this point there's no denying Junior's status as the hardest hitter in the UFC. Even if he hasn't put you away in the first minute, he'll still have beaten the fight out of you.

Homemade Hand Weights
Hand weights add variety to your exercise and provide extra resistance for arm and shoulder muscles. Start out with light weights and increase weights slowly. According to the "UC Berkeley Wellness Newsletter," hand weights should never total more than 10 percent of your body weight. Start out by warming up your muscles before using the weights and finish by doing stretches without weights to cool down.

Check Your Cupboard
Step 1
Use 15 oz. cans of vegetables or beans as weights. They are easy to grip and weigh nearly a pound, so they are good weights to start with. It costs nothing to use them as weights before opening them for dinner. Use them to make your arm and shoulder exercises more difficult.
Step 2
Use 1 lb. packages of beans or dried peas to make heavier weights. Put two bags of beans in a sock, to make a 2-lb. weight. You can also use pennies or nickels from your jar of coins or fishing weights in socks to make 2 lb. weights. Fill the sock, tie the top tightly. Use as hand weights for upper body exercises.
Step 3
Fill a half-gallon plastic milk or juice jugs with water to make 4 lb. weights. The handles on the milk jugs make them easy to hold while exercising your arms and shoulders. The 4-lb. weights are heavy, so limit the number of repetitions in each set, and put the milk containers down while you rest between sets.
Look At The Rest of Your House
Step 1
Wrap thick paper-back books in scarves to make easy-to-hold weights.
Step 2
Look around your house for heavy candlesticks or figurines to carry while you exercise.
Step 3
Buy bags of small stones or glass beads meant to be put in clear vases. At the dollar store they cost as little as a dollar a bag. Use one bag in each hand as a weight, or fill socks with two or more bags. Look around your garden for smooth stones you can rinse and dry, and then put in socks. Weigh them on your scale to make sure the socks weigh the same.
Step 4
Put a pound or two of fruit, such as oranges, in doubled plastic grocery bags. Use them to do arm raises, in front, to the side and to the back.

Amnesty International frequently claims to take "no position as to when life begins." But what reason can they give for taking no position on a question settled long ago by science? Does Amnesty International deny that the entity being "aborted" in partial-birth abortion is a human being? Are those feet the abortionist is holding when he jams a pair of scissors into the base of child's skull anything other than human feet? Is the blood that streams out something other than human blood? That a child in the womb is a living human being is a matter of scientific fact. Does Amnesty International deny it?So, if Amnesty International chooses to address the abortion issue at all, on what grounds does it deny human rights-and the most fundamental of all human rights, the right to life - to unborn human beings? Such a position undermines the entire foundation of human rights. For basic rights are founded on the conviction that all human beings - regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, intelligence, age, size, location, or dependency - are the subjects of profound, inherent, and equal dignity simply by virtue of their humanity. If this dignity does not depend on particular characteristics that vary from one human being to another and across each lifetime, then every human being must possess such dignity - and, thus, the rights it entails - from the point at which he or she comes into being. Does Amnesty International deny this?
How can AI be a credible human-rights defender when it will not unconditionally defend those who are truly voiceless - the unborn? Congressman Chris Smith (R., N.J.), a pro-life human-rights advocate, is right in advising AI against the policy change: "The killing of an unborn child by abortion can never be construed to be a human right. Therefore, taking a position that supports violence against children is antithetical to everything Amnesty International stands for," Smith said at a press conference.What's so frustrating about the new policy is that AI - founded by a Communist and Roman Catholic convert - can do a world of good with its global resources. Days after pro-life groups were blasting AI for its new policy, the organization was publicizing the plight of the blind Chinese human-rights activist Chen Guangcheng, who was beaten in a prison. He is serving a four-year sentence on trumped-up charges; his real transgression was exposing the inhuman treatment of women and unborn children in the Shandong province, where local Linyi City officials use forced sterilization and abortion to meet China's population-control mandates. If AI is supporting a man who is fighting against the mistreatment of women, how can they not realize how similar that fight is to the preservation of unborn life?
Clutching rosaries and holding signs in support of the sanctity of life, 12 Catholics stood on the sidewalk outside an Overlea shopping center July 21 and peacefully asked God to end abortion.As cars whizzed by along Belair Road, the middle-aged men and women recited the rosary and the chaplet of divine mercy - standing within walking distance of a women's health center that provides abortions. The demonstrators have been gathering every third Saturday of the month for several years. They always begin the day with a prolife 8:15 a.m. Mass at St. Joseph in Fullerton. While some participants pray publicly on the sidewalk after Mass, others remain at St. Joseph to pray privately for a greater openness to the culture of life. "I think prayer can do anything," said Marilyn Halle-Webster, a parishioner of St. Isaac, Carney. While she doesn't know any women who changed their mind about having an abortion as a direct result of her efforts, Ms. Halle-Webster believes the pro-lifers on Belair Road are making an impact. They might have helped save lives they will never know about, she said. "Women who see our signs might just think twice about having an abortion," she said.
In the lawsuit, Glover claims that after performing a pap smear test, Planed Parenthood failed to tell Glover that the results of the tests revealed she had cervical cancer. The suit also charges that upon realizing its negligence, Planned Parenthood attempted to cover up its mistake by refusing to turn over medical records to Glover and giving her medical treatment she did not need. According to the suit, Glover did not find out about Planned Parenthood's mistake for over a year later. Her cervical cancer had advanced to stage 3.
Mark Crutcher, the president of Life Dynamics, Incorporated, says the American abortion industry's "choke-hold" on the Democratic Party is evidenced by the fact that at least two of the party's leading presidential candidates are promoting universal abortion coverage. Democratic presidential candidates Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois) and John Edwards have announced their universal healthcare proposals would provide insurance coverage for abortions.Elizabeth Edwards recently told the Planned Parenthood Action Fund that her husband's plan would cover "all reproductive health services, including pregnancy termination." Crutcher says the Edwards and Obama plans reaffirm that the Democratic Party is "owned lock, stock and barrel" by the abortion industry -- and expose the two candidates as "hypocrites and liars.""Out of one side of their mouth, they say that abortion is none of the government's business and the government has to stay out of it -- but on the other side of their mouth, they say the government has a responsibility to pay for abortion. Now which one is it?" he asks.
We had spent months planning our move, and I knew David wanted it more than anything. If I insisted on having the baby and heading home, I feared he would resent me, or worse, resent our baby. But if I went through with the abortion because he wanted it, I would certainly resent him. Or, we could spend six months here and decide we didn't like Mexico and simply go home. Would this brief experiment have been worth not keeping our baby?I turned to the Internet, hoping to find some clarity. Instead I found anti-abortion Web sites that terrified me with images of dead fetuses and stories of women scarred for life. The opposing sites, which listed statistics of women who had thrived postabortion and detailed the political fight to keep access available, were not much better. I was looking for direction and found the political-speak meaningless and unhelpful.
There is no single thing that I have seen more powerful to change people on abortion than simply showing them the pictures.Show them what it looks like. I have challenged the media over and over again. Show the public what an abortion is because we can justify anything with our language. If you are a smooth talker, if you know how to manipulate language and logic - you can convince anyone of anything. But pictures, that is another story.
Your story will be different than mine as you are embarking on the wonderful adventure of motherhood a little earlier than I did. But I do know that your baby needs you. Do not allow fear and worry to steal from the joy of this new life. I know you are capable of being a loving, nurturing mother. Psalm 73:26 says, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
It is hard to understand why people would like to have everyone believe that the religious right has laid a guilt trip on those post abortive and that they impose shame and guilt. Women seek out their faith because they are already feeling guilt and shame and are looking for ways to work through it. I cannot help but wonder how those that deny post abortion trauma can believe religion has such power to instill these feelings while an actual abortion itself does not..Why does it rile some so much to think that an abortion could bother a woman? Is it so hard to believe that the taking the life of your unborn child may cause you problems no matter what the circumstances surrounding it? And if it really does not exist, why is everyone is making such a fuss over it. The fact that the NYT gave it a 5 page spread in its Sunday magazine, and that more and more publications are spending time debunking the claim that abortion often carries with it a heavy price, validates that indeed, there is such a thing as post abortion stress.The big fat lie of post abortion trauma is in fact not a lie at all, but the truth for many who have experienced one. Abortion itself, however, has been based on a lie from the beginning so it is no surprise that the lying would continue. Norma McCorvey, the "Jane Roe" in the 1973 Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade was the original lie. She was never was raped as they said. The lies did not stop there, they continued in telling women abortion is safe, in stating their children are blobs of tissue, in not showing them the development of their children or about the procedure they were to undergo. They have duped society into thinking abortions can only be performed in the first trimester in most cases, or that it is always for the health of the mother. They have denied women information about abortions physical, psychological and spiritual dangers and fought legislation that would allow them to make an informed choice. They have blocked "Parental Notification" laws, on the premise some kids may be abused, yet protect child predators who take children to clinics after sexually abusing them. They have been silent on women's abuse by men for refusing to abort or for doctors who have maimed women or pressured them into abortion if the unborn child is not perfect.
The study, conducted by Overbrook Research in Illinois, looks at public opinion and abortion in Missouri between 1992 and 2006 and is authored by Christopher Blunt and Fred Steeper.In 1992, 34% of Missouri voters described themselves as "strongly pro-choice". In 2006, this figure dropped to 23%. The percentage of citizens polled who described themselves as "strongly pro-life" rose from 26% to 36% in the same period.Blunt and Steeper note that the most dramatic shift is among the young people they polled. In 1992, those under age 30 were the most strongly pro-abortion (39%), and the least strongly pro-life (23%). In 2006, 36% of this same age group described themselves as pro-life.The authors hypothesize that this shift among the 18- to 29-year-olds is related to the ascendance of partial-birth abortion during their lifetime as the issue's dominant frame.This is also the generation for whom fetal ultrasound images have become ubiquitous, increasing the sensitivity of many to the possible humanity of the unborn child. Furthermore, these voters grew up with the realization that they themselves could have been aborted if their parents had chosen differently.The attitudes of 30- to 49-year-olds have also shifted. In 1992, 27% of women and 23 % of men in this age group described themselves as "strongly pro-life"; in 2006, they increased to 38% and 34% respectively.Blunt and Steeper also noted that 56% of "strongly pro-life" voters in 1992 identified themselves as Republicans and 33% as Democrats. In 2006, the numbers were 62% and 25% respectively.
The funeral will be held Wednesday for a Peachtree City native who had little brain activity after nearly drowning at a Marine Corps boot camp in South Carolina four years ago.The case involving Josh Isaac drew criticism about how the U.S. Department of Defense trains its service members.His mother, Malia Isaac, said her son died early Saturday - a week after doctors removed his feeding tube. His father, Keith Isaac, and 19-year-old sister Jill also were there.Isaac decided to join the Marines after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Two days after graduating from McIntosh High School in Fayette County in 2003, he went to Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island, S.C.On June 30, 2003, his platoon took part in a routine combat survival class at a Parris Island pool.Marine Corps investigator say he fell limp in the water moments after jumping off a 10-foot-tall platform and stopped breathing.He was treated at hospitals and for the past three years had been at Dogwood Health and Rehabilitation Center in Fairburn.
So what's so bad about Planned Parenthood? What is it about the organization that makes pro-lifers go wild with outrage and concern? After all, Planned Parenthood does do things other than abortion. Along with providing abortion, they provide contraception. As Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani recently explained, he gave the group money "Because Planned Parenthood makes information available. It's consistent with my position."To anyone who does not follow Planned Parenthood headlines, that makes some sense. The rest of his answer, though, begged for further interrogating: "I disagree with (abortion), I think it is wrong." He has also said that he hates abortion. But it's not believable that someone who truly hates abortion could ever have anything nice to say about Planned Parenthood.Browse on over to their web magazine for minors, www.teenwire.com, and you'll find, among the question-and-answer, a question from a teen who says she had an abortion "a little over a month ago," is pregnant again, and wondering if a second abortion is safe. Not only does the teenwire.com staff cavalierly tell the girl (who, I remind you, got pregnant again a month after her first abortion) that abortion is "very safe" the first or second time around, but that abortion "is much safer than giving birth." While they do throw in a line about preventing pregnancy by using birth control, there's no talk about adoption or other alternatives - such as raising the child, and getting help to do so - that a desperate girl could afford to hear.Of course in an America where abortion is legal, that Planned Parenthood steers women who don't want their kids toward abortion, is not wholly unexpected. But what about kids who are wanted? In the wake of the Laci Peterson trial in which Scott Peterson was eventually convicted of killing his wife and unborn son (Connor), then-Planned Parenthood President Gloria Feldt argued against federal legislation that would protect the legal rights of both the mother and child in such a horrific double-homicide. Feldt insisted that there was but one victim in the Peterson case, Laci, the mother. So radical is Planned Parenthood that they cannot concede that a wanted unborn child is also a victim when his life is taken.While it's questionable that donations that total less than $1,000 indicate enthusiastic support for the work of Planned Parenthood, as Mayor Giuliani's did, any honest executive at Planned Parenthood has got to be a bit excited by the prospect of Rudy Giuliani as the nominee of the Republican party. Here's a Republican guy who is essentially on their side. His willingness to buck them up as he aims for the White House is an opportunity to confront this front for a culture of death ironically hiding "Parenthood."
The study by Overbrook Research, a public consulting firm in Illinois, examines public opinion data from Missouri. With proportions of blacks, Catholics and union members in line with national averages, the state is viewed as "highly representative of the American electorate," the study says.Among the current generation of 18- to 29-year-olds, 36% say they are strongly "pro-life," while just 18% say they are strongly "pro-choice," the study authors said.The trend was particularly evident among women in that age bracket. Forty 40% identify themselves as strongly "pro-life" and only 20% as strongly "pro-choice."
Project Rachel, the group slapping a made-up disease name onto people who have had abortions (something it disagrees with), is a wolf in sheep's clothing. What it's doing constitutes a disingenuous attempt by a religious group to influence the public's perception of abortion.Religious groups, such as the Roman Catholic Church and Priests for Life, fund the program, for crying out loud -- how open-minded could it possibly be? The group refers to fetuses as "unborn babies" and refers to abortions as "taking the life of a child." So while the group catalogs all the things that a woman could experience after having an abortion (clearly, not all do), it doesn't get into the very real hell that unfolds when a woman who isn't ready and able to raise a child has one.Certainly, some women regret having an abortion. And those who feel they require spiritual guidance ought to get it from anywhere they can, and for this purpose, Project Rachel could come in handy. But regret is not a psychological disease, and saying that abortion leads to mental illness is just plain irresponsible.
An unidentified 25 year-old woman was found dead at the residence of a transport businessman at Mohammadpur in the city on Sunday. She died due to excessive bleeding following an abortion, Dhaka Medical College (DMC) morgue sources told the Daily Star newspaper. Police recovered her body from the residence of Nazrul Islam, a transport businessman, at Mohammadia Housing Limited. Later police sent the body to the DMC morgue for autopsy. Sub-Inspector Abdul Bari told The Daily Star that although her identity could not be known, they heard locals used to call her 'Moni' and that she worked as a maid in the community. Bari said Moni went to the house of Nazrul to work for him shortly before her death.
In 2004, Charlotte Sherron was sentenced to three years in prison and two years of post-release supervision for trying go hide her husband's crime of statutory rape. She took her daughter to an abortion facility after her daughter became pregnant from the incest.Sherron appealed the decision but the Mississippi Court of Appeals in 2006 unanimously upheld the conviction. It said helping her daughter get an abortion obstructed justice and destroyed the baby, whose DNA could have helped convict her husband.Attorneys for Sherron appealed that decision to the state's high court but the Mississippi Supreme Court on Thursday declined to hear the appeal. That upheld the lower court's ruling in the case.
Many delegates openly expressed disbelief, skepticism, and even shock, at the revelation that NEA was involved in abortion at all - much less in an advocacy role - much less pro-abortion. They were totally unaware of NEA's long-standing "Family Planning Resolution" supporting "reproductive freedom" and "all methods of family planning" - including abortion. Some refused to accept the well-documented fact that NEA is one of Planned Parenthood's primary advocates and actually co-sponsored huge pro-abortion rallies in Washington in April 2004, April 1992, and November 1989.A few belligerent delegates verbally berated the pro-lifers, accusing them of "lying". Others thanked pro-lifers for bringing NEA's abortion activism into sharp focus. Some said they would raise the issue on the Convention Floor and attempt to have NEA totally abandon its pro-abortion agenda and activism.
Many anti-abortion activists insist there are proven, profound emotional and psychological effects from having an abortion -- a so-called post-abortion syndrome. One outgrowth has been religiously affiliated retreats such Project Rachel, aimed at helping to purge guilt. Others say the syndrome is non-existent and just a new way to push the "pro-life" agenda, and that most women live productive, psychologically and emotionally normal lives after an abortion.
During a June 6 search of the West Hartford home of dog trainer Adam P. Gault, 41, police discovered the runaway, Danielle Cramer, 15, in a hidden storage space under a set of stairs. Cramer had been missing from her mother's Bloomfield home for almost a year.In a court document made public last week, two police detectives said Cramer disclosed after she was found that "she recently had an abortion at Planned Parenthood in West Hartford but would not disclose who the father was."The list of property seized by police during the search includes "abortion paperwork."Those disclosures raise the possibility that a 15-year-old runaway was the victim of a statutory rape, became pregnant, and had a legal abortion without her parents finding out.[..]Susan Lloyd Yolen, a vice president of Planned Parenthood of Connecticut, declines to comment on Cramer's case on grounds that the organization "is committed to patient privacy and safety."

Doha Carbon Market Decisions May Not Impact Prices, Mundial Says
Supply, demand and price of EU allowances, United Nations Certified Emission Reductions and UN Emission Reduction Units may not be immediately impacted by Doha climate decisions, says Daniel Rossetto, managing director of Climate Mundial Ltd., a London-based consulting company that works in carbon markets. He was speaking yesterday in an e- mailed response to questions.
EU permits for December fell as much as 3.8 percent to 6.52 euros ($8.41) a metric ton at 7:56 a.m. on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange. CERs declined 6.5 percent to 58 cents.
On the amendments to the Kyoto Protocol agreed in Doha:
"Kyoto has now effectively become a framework for developing countries plus Kazakhstan and Ukraine to engage with Australia's and the EU's carbon markets. So it will not be until new decisions are made by the EU and Australia regarding caps and rules under those schemes, including new qualitative restrictions on offset units or linking agreements, that prices will be affected."
On ERUs:
"Getting ERUs issued out of Russia is a very time- consuming process and the Ministry for Economic Development may not, under Russian law, issue an ERU unless there is an accompanying verification report produced by an accredited audit firm. In the end the market will see that Russia's procedures for issuing Emission Reduction Units were actually very tight."

I sent out the last batch of emails encouraging people to participate in research. As always, I get replies, some saying they do not have BYOD or no longer have BYOD as they have gone 1:1. I didn't think anything of it except in terms of whether they were able to participate in the research, then... Well, I also get bounces - bad emails, old emails of people no longer there, etc. Since I figure the school associated with that address has BYOD, I look for an alternate address. So there I am digging around in a school's website for an address and find their BYOD information sheet for parents. It's apparent from reading the sheet that the school, and independent school, had a BYOL program where students brought their own laptops. However, they are no longer doing that - only students who are currently doing BYOL may continue, and if they want to replace their laptop and continue BYOL, they can. But with conditions. Those conditions are:
they have to buy one of three specified models;
they have allow the school to re-image the hard drive with the school's software and operating system and,
students and parents will not have admin access to the computer.
Now that's a fascinating approach - that moves firmly from BYOD to a standard 1:1 program, except they don't have a 1:1 program. They do allow students to bring small devices and use them with the teacher's permission. This is just a fascinating scenario to me.
On the data front, I've created one set of codes, and naturally have way too many. That's where I found a couple of issues with NVivo - naturally it doesn't spit out the data exactly like I want it. I do love the fact that I can look at a code (node in NVivo-speak) and see the text I coded, which makes it easy to check for consistency in coding. But getting all the nodes and the associated text in printable form so I could sort and group was not so easy. I've somewhat managed to condense the codes and now I'm making a pass over a second interview, then I'll go back to the first. I also am checking the codes against the survey organization. After all, the goal is to triangulate.
I've started looking at the survey data. I only have a couple of open-ended questions, and people only write one or two sentences, so coding those will not be overwhelming. I also intend to code all the surveys since I will have no more than ten. The difficulty is that the interview is semi-structured. Every person's story is different so the path we take through the interview is also different, even with the questions as checkpoints.
I also started investigating various stats packages to see about saving a buck. Wikipedia has a comparison page, as well as just a list. Of course, every package requires a more detailed look. PSPP is free, but I'm not sure it does MANOVA. R has high ratings, and a very steep learning curve. SOFA looks simple, but it doesn't seem that powerful. So, it looks like I will be spending quality time with SPSS.

Connecticut's economy frustrated by jobs picture
Published 9:54 pm, Thursday, April 18, 2013
Timothy Grant was putting cans into the return machine at Stop & Shop in Milford on Thursday instead of building houses.
Despite a jump of 2,900 new construction jobs in the state last month, the father of two says work is still hard to come by because there is so much competition.
"The economy sucks. It's a dog-eat-dog world," Grant said, two months of job hunting frustration in his voice. He's had a few interviews, but said it's tough to land a job when you're going up against a lot of experienced guys.
On Thursday, Grant and his dad were returning the family's empty soda cans, but he also said he's gone canning -- picking up discarded cans along the roads -- to raise extra money.
"I'll do anything I can to get my kids food," Grant said.
The state Labor Department on Thursday reported a net gain of 2,600 jobs in March, but the unemployment rate remained stuck at 8 percent and the labor force shrank again as discouraged workers gave up their search in this slow-growth economy. On a national scale, 88,000 jobs were added last month, with the unemployment rate at 7.6 percent.
Experts locally as well as nationally point to troubling trends and structural changes in the economy that are contributing to problems for the unemployed. They see not only an economy that's not producing many jobs, but trends such as using technology to replace workers and an environment that punishes the long-term unemployed.
This latest report showed the state added jobs in construction and health care, but lost positions in the key sectors of manufacturing and financial services. But overall, job creation here has been lagging the nation.
The department said in its report that Connecticut has only recovered 42.2 percent of the jobs it lost to the recession. The nation, on the other hand, has recovered more than 67 percent of losses.
At its peak in March of 2008, there were 1.7 million jobs. That figure then went into a 23 months of decline, bottoming out at 1.59 million jobs in February 2010. Since then, the state has recovered 51,200 positions, albeit slowly. So far this year, the state is only ahead of last year's total employment by 1,000 jobs.
"It has been clear to me for some time that the Connecticut labor markets have been underperforming relative to prior expansions, and that a host of factors are involved," New Haven-based economist Don Klepper-Smith of DataCore Partners said in his monthly economic letter to clients. "Today's numbers, while representing a gain, just emphasize the point that this is not `your father's economic recovery,' and that profound structural changes underlie much of what we're seeing. The combination of increased use of new technologies at the expense of labor -- what is known as the `substitution effect' -- demographic shifts, increased dependency on e-commerce, greater use of temp workers to provide flexibility to area employers, rising public sector debt, and huge pending changes in our health care system -- imply a new economic normal."
The problems, however, aren't tripping up every state. Connecticut's neighbor, Massachusetts, reported its unemployment rate fell to 6.4 percent in March and it has more jobs today than it had before the recession.
Klepper-Smith said historically, Connecticut and Massachusetts have had similar employment trends.
Massachusetts' labor force, like Connecticut's, shrunk in March, but by a much smaller amount, showing a decline of 6,100 compared to February and a drop of 7,500 for the year. Connecticut's labor force fell 5,200 compared to February and is down more than 33,000 from a year ago.
Connecticut's labor force is shrinking because of a number of reasons, including retirement. According to Social Security Administration figures, the number of people collecting benefits in Connecticut increased about 2 percent last year.
But Tom Long, a spokesman for the job placement board in Southwest Connecticut, said retirement isn't the primary reason for the drop in the labor force.
"Since May of 2010, over 110,000 people in the state have completely exhausted their unemployment benefits," he said. Those benefits provided some form of pay for nearly two years and some of those people have just given up on the idea of working or have taken part-time jobs.
Nationally, there are 4.6 million people who have been unemployed for longer than 27 weeks.
Challenger Gray and Christmas, the Chicago-based outplacement firm, said studies show people who are unemployed for longer than six months are less likely to be seen as viable job candidates because employers fear their skills are out of date or they have doubts about their employability.
"This may seem unfair," John A. Challenger, the firm's chief executive said in the report, "And employers may indeed be weeding out great candidates, but when job postings receive hundreds if not thousands of applicants, for which a handful are selected for face-to-face interviews, the initial screening process more closely resembles a lottery than anything else."
The implications for the country are significant, Challenger reported, citing a loss of consumer spending and an increase in the need for government assistance.
As for people like Grant, when asked how he's getting by, he said, simply "I'm not."

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M's games at Oklahoma this weekend are more important than you might think, considering the Big 12 regular-season title already is decided.
In the claustrophobia that is the Big 12 this season, had the Aggies won on Sunday at Texas, they'd be in first place headed into Norman, Okla., this weekend.
Instead, the Longhorns, who are done with league play, are the champions, while A&M is tied for fourth with the Sooners. Getting back to why this weekend is so important.
Should the Aggies tank at OU, they might can kiss the opportunity to play host to an NCAA tournament regional goodbye. UT and Rice are area schools that already will host regionals, and TCU also is part of that conversation.
If A&M wins the OU series and then represents itself decently in Oklahoma City next week at the Big 12 tournament, the Aggies are all but guaranteed a regional.
So about Oklahoma …
"I think they've got a great team," Aggies coach Rob Childress said after A&M whipped another likely NCAA tournament team, Texas State, 13-4 on Tuesday night. "They've got everyone back from last year, so they're a year older and a year smarter. They've had an incredible year offensively. On the pitching side, they're very talented.
"It ought to be a great series."
The Aggies, who've hosted regionals the past two seasons at an always enthusiastic Olsen Field, can only hope.

Cowboy & Indian party here at THE HOUSE .
Come on and have some fun. Lounge around, get in the hot tub.
As always come hungry.
No you do not have to dress up, but it would be nice to see everyone dressed up.
Please cover up until you get into THE HOUSE.
Would be nice to say the party didn't cost us anything to put on, But it does. With that being said, A THANK YOU card in an envelope would be nice. It must be in an envelope. From our experience the thank you cards we have received have had between 30 or 40 in them. We do not accept cash at the door as that would put us in a business category. We do not want to be a business. This helps to offset some of the cost of the party you attend and helps us provide a private place for couples to enjoy the lifestyle. Your thank you helps to ensure the quality and freshness of the food and beverages available to you. We furnish soft drinks, as well as food and snacks. In our on-premise rooms you will find an assortment of personal items including condoms, lube, and wipes that make the lifestyle exploration clean and safe.
We are BYOB as well.

I'm not known for my cheery everything's-going-to-be-OK-puppies-rainbows-lollipops perspective. In fact, I'm against such perspectives. I find them disingenuous, phony, or seriously ill-informed. Save the rose-colored glasses for Sir Elton John, thank-you.
I find smiling, being positive and telling people how great everything is to be just another chore on my list of things to do today when I'm already busy just trying to keep breathing and possibly pay rent.
Positivity and Mental Illness
OK, some people really like the sunshiny-rainbow thing. I get it. It's a preference. There are lots of people who agree and will provide such a perspective and if it helps then I say, enjoy.
Smiling and Mental Illness
And yes, someone out there is going to remind me that one of things they teach you in CBT is to smile, even if you don't feel like it. There is neurological evidence to suggest that by doing this the brain is "tricked" into believing you're really happy. (You're essentially trying to remap your brain. It's complicated.)
Well, I won't disagree with the CBT folks, but I will say that most of us are so fake-smiley already it makes my face ache.
Hope and Mental Illness
Much as I don't like rainbow positivity, the same goes for hope. Seriously, don't bother me with the "buck up partner" and "this will be the time it works" and "it won't happen if you don't believe." I am not bucking, time will be what it is, and my belief has very little to do with medication success. (There is always the placebo effect to argue, but somehow I don't think faking hope makes that any more likely.)
Realism and Mental Illness
What I try to be is realistic. And real mental illness chatter isn't really that uplifting. My personal, realistic, clinical outcome is dark and spiky. That's not me talking; that's the numbers. (OK, relative "spikiness" is hard to measure. They're working on it.)
That being said, I do try to offer other people hope. Realistic hope; not fluffy-bunny hope. When someone comments here about being hopeless and there being nothing left for them to try, that is pretty much universally false. That's the crazy talking. Believe me. They've got stuff. And more stuff. And stuff after that. You'll almost never run out of stuff. That's true. That's real.
And the disease is cyclical. That's true too.
So as a rule, I'm not terribly positive. But I do try and be realistic. And that's quite enough of a daily feat for me.

Believe It Or Not: Today In Why I Love the InternetPosted: June 10, 2012 | Author: Dave Levy | Filed under: social media, sports | Tags: Believe it or not, Boston Red Sox, Nice Job Internet |Leave a comment
The Red Sox aren't playing the best right now (or haven't since, well, August), but I still go to games because I'll never grow tired of watching baseball at Fenway. Since it's 2012, I have a smart phone and I tend to talk about just about anything that I think is fun on Twitter. So when Fenway organist Josh Kantor played the theme to Greatest American Hero in a mid-inning break yesterday, I had to share my joy – after all, the song is actually my phone ring these days.
What I wasn't expecting was Kantor to hop on Twitter the next afternoon and make a quick search to see how the selection was received by the Fenway Faithful. I definitely appreciated the tweet back from him and of course the discovery of the other dozen or so people who loved it as much as I did.
Thanks! RT @levydr "Organist at Fenway playing theme to Greatest American Hero. Awesome." cc: @RonMwangaguhung

Third time lucky for Delhi?
Friday sees the start of this year's IPL happily back in India after last year's move to South Africa. Which team will dethrone the 2009 winners Deccan Chargers or can they become the first team to win back to back titles?
Hopefully this piece will guide you through the runners & riders and hopefully bring some profit.
First of all it looks a very open contest and you could make cases for any franchise this year. No one team stands out as you would expect with the stellar cast assembled by Lalit Modi and the many millions these teams have.
My pick for 2010 will be the same as 2009. The Delhi Daredevils (7/2) I believe have the best balanced team on paper, unfortunately for them despite reaching both previous two semi-finals they have imploded badly at the crucial moment.
This year they have signed South African Wayne Parnell (20/1 top tournament bowler) to their bowling attack. Add him to a line up of Dirk Nannes (25/1), Ashish Nehra (25/1) and Daniel Vettori (33/1) with a dream batting line up of Virender Sehwag (12/1 top tournament batsman), Tillakaratne Dilshan (14/1), Gautam Gambhir (16/1), David Warner (16/1) and AB de Villiers (16/1) plus England's very own rock Paul Collingwood (100/1) and you can see why the early money has been for the favourites.
I expect them to be lifting the trophy towards the end of April.
Consistancy wins you tournaments and that is something that Chennai Super Kings (9/2) have in abundance.
Runners-up in 2008, last year they reached the semi-finals, and under the leadership of Indian captain MS Dhoni (28/1 top tournament batsman) and with power hitters Matthew Hayden (14/1) and Albie Morkel (125/1 for top tournament batsman, 33/1 for top tournament bowler) along with Indian players Suresh Raina (25/1 top tournament batsman) and Murali Vijay (50/1) they will go close.
My worry for them is whether they have enough bowling to trouble the other teams. Injury to Jacob Oram is a worry, as well as the form of Muttiah Muralitharan (18/1 top tournament bowler) and Makhaya Ntini (28/1) both now at the end of their international careers.
A lot will depend on their young Indian bowlers stepping up to the mark.
Of the other teams who could surprise, on paper Mumbai Indians (5/1) look to have a great chance.
Their batting is led by the Little Master Sachin Tendulkar (16/1 top tournament batsman), fresh from his record breaking 200 in an ODI, also there is power from Sanath Jayasuriya (40/1) and this year's most expensive purchase Kieron Pollard (50/1).
Mumbai are the most expensively assembled franchise in this year's comp, its time for this franchise to step up and show that the owner's money has not been wasted.
Kings XI Punjab (9/1) seem to be beset with injuries with both Yuvraj Singh (25/1 top tournament batsman) and Brett Lee (20/1 top tournament bowler) struggling to make the start, these will be massive losses for the franchise and they can be passed over if both players miss a number of games.
Karan Goel (66/1 top tournament batsman) excelled at the top of the order last year and he will be a good foil for Kumar Sangakkara (25/1) and Ravi Bopara (50/1) as they attempt to improve on last year's showing.
Rajasthan Royals (9/1) won the inaugural comp in 2008, widely unfancied but led by the mercurial Shane Warne (20/1 top tournament bowler), he has signed Damien Martyn (50/1 top tournament batsman) and Adam Voges (66/1). Much will depend on another Aussie though, Shaun Tait (12/1) is favourite for top tournament bowler, he'll need to fire though for the Royals to make the semi finals.
Kolkata Knight Riders (13/2) were a major disappointment last year, packed with star names such as Brendon McCullum (40/1 top tournament batsman), Chris Gayle (16/1) and Shane Bond (20/1 top tournament bowler) they should've been looking at the semi-finals as a bare minimum of their qualities.
Whether they all perform at a consistent high level is the challenge for coach Dav Whatmore. If he can then Kolkata will definitely be there or thereabouts.
This leaves us with our final two franchises, last year's finalists Royal Challengers Bangalore (7/1) and 2009 winners Deccan Chargers (6/1).
Bangalore have a host of star names such as England's Kevin Pietersen (66/1 top tournament batsman) and Eoin Morgan (50/1), Jacques Kallis (16/1 top tournament batsman, 66/1 top tournament bowler) and Dale Steyn (12/1 top tournament bowler).
The Royal Challengers problems this year might be strength in depth with only four overseas players available per match, its up to Indian players such as Manish Pandey (33/1 top tournament batsman) to step up to the mark. Pandey became the first Indian player to score 100 last year and much will be expected of him in the 2010 edition of the comp.
Finally, Deccan Chargers achieved perfection in 2009 and lifted the trophy, after finishing bottom in the inaugural year. Inspirational captain Adam Gilchrist (16/1 top tournament batsman) will once again lead from the front, star signing has been West Indian Kemar Roach (33/1 top tournament bowler) and it will be interesting to see how much he gets out of these Indian wickets after bowling on spin friendly West Indian pitches in the past month.
Here at William Hill we have a wide range of tournament bets, plus over 20 pre match markets for each game and a host of in running opportunities. All matches this year will be live on ITV4 as well as covered online on YouTube.
Be sure to join in the fun!
Recommended Bets:
Delhi Daredevils - Outright 7/2
Karan Goel - Top Punjab Batsman - 10/1
Manish Pandey - Top Bangalore Batsman - 6/1
Munaf Patel - Top Rajasthan Bowler - 4/1

Whats going on:
Okay so there haven't been any real post for a LONG time! Sorry about that. Here's the run down of what's going on in our lives.
Well at the end of last month Sean, Joan and I were able to go to the Temple and be sealed for all time and eternity!! What a blessing that is! So this is how it worked: My family flew in on Friday morning and I had to pick them up at the airport. Sean didn't get out of school until 11 (he got someone to cover some of his other classes he teaches) and since I had our car down in Mesa he had to barrow my Grandma Betty's extra car. I received my endowment that day at at 3:30. It was a really LONG day! Then on Saturday Sean had a all day long test he had to take called an AEPA test. This test is crucial because you have to pass it in order to teach school. (we get the results tomorrow at 5). The test wasn't over until 4 and our sealing was at 5:30. It was more than hour drive for him with rush hour and he still made it on time and stopped an got me flowers! After that Sean, Sarah, Jason, Joan and I all went out to eat at one of our favorite restaurants called Rigatony's. It was really yummy! Then on Sunday Joan got blessed during church. It was really special and sweet. There were some amazing things said in her blessing and it was just a really sweet moment for us. What a busy but beautiful weekend.
Sean gets off for summer in just a little over 3 weeks! He applied to work as a summer school teacher but we wont know if he got it for a while. Sean has to take about 21 credit hours of class this summer too!
We're planning a trip to Sea World at the end of July! I am so excited! I've only ever been to Sea World when its been really bad weather as far as I can remember. So yeah for Sea World!!!!
The Smith family is planning a camping trip at the beginning of June. We're planning on going for a day or so but Sean needs to work on school (his job depends on it) and we dont have any camping gear and I really dont want to camp with a baby.. just doesn't sound that appealing. But like I said we might go up for a day.
Also, my older brother Richard is getting out of the service next month and will be staying with us for a few months. Its going to be really fun having him around.

Having problems with your PC Desktops ?
I need drivers for Panasonic floppy disk model: JU-256A867PC. My drivers are currently outdated and cannot format ms-dos system disk. The floppy disk im trying to format is Memorex 1.4mb 2HD
Answers :
As the floppy drive does not require drivers, there must be something wrong with one of the following components.
either the disk you are trying to format is bad, easily tested by using another floppy.
or the ribbon cable is faulty, or plugged in backwards.
or finally, the floppy drive itself is broken.
as these things are like $10 new, you could just go to a pc hardware store and buy a whole new one, and swap the old one out.

Christmas is in many ways all about opening up… presents, homes, welcomes, cards, invitations, boxes of decorations, etc.
Above all, it is about opening our hearts. For however beautifully wrapped something is, the most precious gift of all is found inside our hearts, it is love, without question.
I have some little Love Cookies for the sweet toothed out there, these nutty, light and healthy treats are a great alternative to the traditional mince pies. Though I can't resist those nutty nibbles either! Best of all they're good for the body and taste ridiculously delicious, as well as being gluten-free and raw!
The star ingredient in this recipe is pistachio, the jade jewel of a nut. In the Bible when Jacob sends his sons to Egypt for grain, he tells them to pack a gift of, "the best products of the land….a little balm, a little honey, some spices and myrrh, some pistachio nuts and almonds." Surely Christmas treats call for the finest ingredients too. So with Love safely at the top of the List, my second Christmas offering to you are these nuttilicious wonders.
Warm tidings and sweet thoughts to you,
Christmas Love Cookies
Pistachio Nuts, 150g
Coconut flakes, 2 tbsp
Coconut oil, 100g melted
Sweet Freedom/ honey 100g
Sea salt, ½ tsp
REMOVE outer shell of pistachios, to leave gorgeous green kernels.
MIX all ingredients in a large bowl.
LAY a piece of cling film on a clean surface.
SPOON mixture into the centre and roll into a sausage shape
CHILL in fridge overnight.
SLICE into discs and arrange with festive creativity into a tree shape.
SCATTER berries and extra coconut flakes to create something beautiful.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Titanup1982, Oct 14, 2012.
I have the quote........let me find it.......
oh here it is
I would trade our entire defense and most of the offense for Alson Smith and Patrick Willis on the Titans.
Smith gets over looked in my eyes because of JPP and Von Miller, but he is a legit player.
What I really want from them, is their safety. Gold something I think.....
Akers, Bears D, and Marshall... DO SOMETHING!!!
I'm only down 100-87.
If you bums can't get me 13 points in the second half, I quit just like TE.
I meant in the future lol
Let's be real, with your skill level.. you never really started.
Akers is scoring, though every time he scores, the Bears DEF loses points.
League champion twice in three years... douche.
how much u benchin bro
Yea... but I had to mention him before someone said "you have no chance with just Marshall and Bears D."
Marshall is goose-egging so far... I knew he wouldn't do well tonight with Campbell in, but I was expecting about 6-7 from him.

Netflix Move Sets Up Possible Sale or Spinoff of Qwikster
Netflix Inc. (NFLX)'s decision to split its DVD operation from the flagship streaming service isolates the shrinking mail-order business and paves the way for an eventual exit, analysts said.
A pure-play online business would be smaller and faster- growing, with more freedom to experiment, said George Askew, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore.
"The separation of online streaming and DVDs will set the stage for spinning off or selling the DVD business in the future," said Askew, who has a "hold" rating on the shares.
Netflix has plunged 38 percent the past four trading days as investors react to cuts in the Los Gatos, California-based company's subscriber forecast and plans to separate the mail- order DVD business into a service called Qwikster. Netflix appears to be "actively trying to push people away" from the disc business, said Tony Wible, an analyst with Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia.
The DVD and streaming units have evolved differently, said Rich Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG LLC in New York.
"One business is global, one is domestic," Greenfield said. "One is based on physical media and the other on digital. It's about aligning the business up and down."
Netflix said it has no plans to exit mail order and that the split reflects different growth trajectories. In a weekend blog post announcing the changes, Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings apologized to customers over the handling of a July price change that boosted the monthly cost by 60 percent for subscribers who stream movies and rent DVDs by mail.
"It is clear from the feedback over the past two months that many members felt we lacked respect and humility in the way we announced the separation of DVD and streaming, and the price changes," Hastings said.
Shares Fall
Netflix fell $13.72, or 9.5 percent, to $130.03 at 4:29 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares have declined 26 percent this year after more than tripling in 2010 and almost doubling in 2009.
Not everyone expects a sale. Wible, the Janney Montgomery analyst, puts the odds of a sale or spinoff at less than 50 percent, because of the difficulty finding a buyer or investors who would want stock in a mail-order DVD rental company.
The mail-order business is worth eight to 10 times earnings, or about $20 per Netflix share, said Wible, who has a longstanding sell recommendation on the shares.
"I think you'd find a lot of skepticism, like the Postal Service trying to do an IPO right now," Wible said. "There are issues that are only going to get worse."
Hastings wants to speed up consumers' migration from physical rentals of discs to streaming of movies and TV shows. About 12 million of Netflix's 25 million-plus customers use both the mail-order and streaming service.
Like Music, Like DVDs?
The Netflix CEO also suggested the mail-order business, while shrinking, has a long run ahead of it. On a July conference call, he estimated the DVD business may decline by 10 percent a year.
"What we do know is that we are going to maximize whatever opportunity is there," Hastings said on July 25.
Netflix cut its third-quarter subscriber forecast on Sept. 15, two weeks after the price change took effect. The company trimmed its estimate of domestic DVD-only subscribers to 2.2 million from 3 million and said U.S. streaming-only users would total 9.8 million, down from the 10 million seen earlier.
With the split, subscribers who want to remain customers of both businesses will have to use different websites to order from each. Qwikster, which plans to offer video-game rentals, will also bill separately.
More Churn
The division could alienate users attracted to the convenience of a single site for finding DVDs and streaming, said Michael Olson, an analyst with Piper Jaffray Cos. in Minneapolis. He has an "overweight" rating on the shares.
Separating the two businesses may also signal Hollywood is gaining the upper hand in negotiating streaming rights, according to Bill Gurley, a partner with Benchmark Capital who blogs at abovethecrowd.com.
Given studios' demands to be paid per user, Netflix probably separated the businesses so it wouldn't have to pay for subscribers who don't stream, Gurley said in a blog post.
The danger is that Netflix may weaken both businesses, especially after the company lost access to Sony Corp. (6758) movies from Starz, part of John Malone's Liberty Media Corp. empire.
"If anything, the streaming service is probably weaker today than it was three months ago," said Youssef Squali, an analyst at Jefferies & Co. with a "hold" rating on the stock.

lentiviral transdcution of hematopoëtic stem cells - (Jun/14/2009 )
Hi folks,
I'm trying to transduce hematopoëtic stem cells with a lentivirus. Producing the lentivirus is OK. But the transduction is not efficiënt enough.
Is there any possibility to make a more efficiënt virus? Or to make the transduction better?
You can try increasing the transduction efficiency:
1. If you use HEK293T cells for making virus try using very early passage 293Ts.
2. If you are not concentrating the virus by ultra-centrifugation then try atleast to double the concentration by decreasing volume of media on 293T. (You can also try PEG precipitation).
3. The target cells should be in the best stage of their health.
4. Try using alternatively polybrene or protamine sulphate.
5. Try spin infection of cells in suspension.
5. Play around with duration of infection.
6. In my hands Qiagen maxiprep purified DNA gives best efficiency.
7. You can repeat infections may be up to 3 times with atleast 12 hrs interval.
Hope these would help.
Good luck.
You might want to consider the following factors.
For transfection: cell line; DNA quality; transfection methods; transfection reagents plus/minus enhancer such as protamine sulfate, chloroquine, sodium butyrate; Concentarting virus with ultracentrifugation, etc.
For transduction: polybrene, spinoculation, multiple transduction, more concentrated virus with less cells, and etc.
To transduce hematopoëtic stem cells, you might need spinoculation with polybrene.

Hurricane Sandy leaves more than 400 NStar customers in Watertown without power
More than 400 NStar customers in Watertown had lost power as of 5 p.m. Monday, according to utility power outage maps.
That number makes up about 2 percent of NStar's customer base there, as the company serves over 17,000 Watertown customers.
Watetown had cancelled all public schools and public meetings today due to the hurricane. The town closed its Town Hall offices, the library, and the senior center at 2 p.m.
More than 170,000 electric customers were without power this afternoon in Massachusetts. As of 4 p.m., about 82,000 National Grid customers had lost power, along with about 84,000 NStar customers, in addition to others.
"We have close to a thousand crews working on storm restoration," Caroline Pretyman, NStar spokeswoman, said in an e-mail.
So far there have been no reports of injuries or serious damage, Governor Deval Patrick said at a 3:30 p.m. news conference.
"All in all, I think we're holding our own," he said.
At the same time, Patrick cautioned that the state was only 1 1/2 hours into a period of high winds that is expected to last until 11 p.m.
"I think it's going well, but it's nature and it can change in a minute," he said.
Some important numbers to report a hurricane-related emergency or loss of power can be seen on Boston.com.

About Radius GardenThe principle 'Garden more, hurt less' was born from the need to make gardening more comfortable and to avoid the sore wrists and blisters that have become commonplace when using the inferior quality tools. These are the motivating factors that influenced Radius GardenTM founder Bruce Baker to design and manufacture a completely new style of ergonomic garden tool, throwing the rulebook out of the window and re-thinking every aspect of every tool's design and function. Traditional thinking requires that gardening tools be designed around the same styles we have become accustomed to, with handles and shafts that force us to use our hands and wrists in ways that cause stress and injury.
Truly ergonomic tools require a fresh approach rather than simply modifying an old design, and this is what you get with a Radius garden tool, a product developed using the most current research into physiology and tool usage; the patented Natural Radius GripTM promotes a neutral wrist position, ensuring a more comfortable gardening experience whilst the 'O-Grip' used on their forks and spades ensures more power is transferred into the task at hand, reducing stress and physical strain on your body. The Radius GardenTM collection includes both a professional stainless steel range of digging tools alongside a lighter weight carbon steel collection, slightly less durable but easier to use if you are no longer in the flush of youth. Most importantly of all however, is the notion that whatever your gardening need, there will be a Radius garden tool to meet it.
