Despite the Brown administration's edict last year to sweep out nearly all retirees from the state workforce, more than two dozen departments still use them to fill some of the highest-paying positions in government, according to state data reviewed by The Bee.
The numbers in an internal Department of Human Resources report show a total of 75 retirees in 26 departments held "career executive assignments" in February. The positions pay the retirees from $45 per hour to $75 per hour on top of their pensions.
More than a third of those retired-annuitant executive positions were in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Scott Carney, administrative services director at the Department of Corrections, said using retirees at the executive level injects much-needed skill and experience into the department as it navigates a massive court-ordered downsizing, reorganizes its system of 33 prisons and shepherds a new generation of leaders.
"They have unique skill sets," Carney said.
Retired state employees are not allowed to work more than half-time hours in a given fiscal year and still draw their pensions.
Critics contend that limitation alone suggests retirees brought back as career executives couldn't be taking on the workload and responsibility to justify such a high pay rate. They say the practice breeds cronyism under the guise of filling crucial positions because the state has failed to adequately address a leadership vacuum.
The state correctional officers union, the Bureau of State Audits and several former human resources managers interviewed question whether these high-level retired annuitants are doing the work that goes with the title and the pay. How, they wonder, can a part-time or intermittent employee hold such a high-level title?
"The current setup is wildly inappropriate," said JeVaughn Baker, spokesman for California's state correctional officers union. "If these are mission-critical management positions, then they should be filled by full-time people invested in the long-term success of the department."
The Department of Corrections in February accounted for 28 of the 75 retirees on the state's roster of career executives. Most held the title chief deputy administrator, which pays $59.12 per hour – up to $56,755 annually if they work the maximum 960 hours allowed.
Full-time employees with that title are salaried deputy wardens at a prison. Retirees at that level in corrections may serve in various roles, from mentors for up-and-coming wardens to managing special projects or testifying in court cases.
"These people are in functions critical for savings and safety," Carney said.
That distinction is key in light of the 2012-13 budget that Gov. Jerry Brown signed last year.
The measure reflected an agreement the governor reached with the state's biggest union that required that departments ax all but the most essential of the 5,800 or so "retired annuitants" who drew $110 million in pay from the state in 2011-12, on top of their pensions.
Service Employees International Union Local 1000 said the retirees take jobs that should go to unionized full-time workers and block upward mobility. The local accepted a year of furloughs in exchange for purging annuitants in state service during that same period.
"Only those that have been deemed critical to the department's core mission will be retained," Brown's budget summary said.
By January this year, the state still employed 3,940 annuitants.
The administration exempted retirees whose termination would create a void that disrupts state business to the point of failure, cause the state to lose funding or put public safety or health at risk.
Departments decide what that means. The California Department of Human Resources, which handles personnel matters for the governor, conducts a handful of agency audits each year, said department spokeswoman Pat McConahay, but it hasn't required proof that all have followed the budget mandate.
"That would be micromanaging," she said.
McConahay didn't have specifics for which departments had been audited or how many retired annuitant rehires the Human Resources Department found violated the budget mandate.
'A second-best solution'
The career executive jobs pay salaries from $6,200 to $13,400 per month. Many carry policy-making and leadership duties that affect hundreds or thousands of people. Creating a new career executive position requires the approval of two state agencies.
"You'd be hard-pressed to find someone at those levels who is stupid or lazy," said former Department of Finance Director Mike Genest, who retired as a CEA 4, the second-to-highest tier.
The state is struggling to fill those upper-level positions. Baby boomers who make up the bulk of the state's leadership are retiring and taking their experience with them. Years of furloughs, slashed budgets and stagnant pay hastened their exit.
The pool of relatively young retired leaders can make bringing them back an attractive option, because they draw no benefits and have no civil-service or union protections – but do have years of knowledge and experience.
Genest said departments save money by bringing back retired executives but that plugging them into such important positions is "inherently a second-best solution. What you really need is a career person who will stay there year in and year out."
Retired annuitants don't need the work and aren't as accountable as regular full-time employees, he said, and the here-today-gone-tomorrow nature of their appointments blunts their authority.
"You need folks in those (CEA) jobs who people are afraid of," Genest said. "Fiscally, retirees are great, they're a money saver. For management, maybe not."
Roughly 120 of the state's 150 agencies, departments, commissions and boards have no retired annuitants in career executive assignments.
Those that do must bring retirees back to a position – and pay – equal to or lower than the one they left. Under Brown's budget, those jobs have to be mission critical, but each department applies that standard differently, since their missions vary.
The Human Resources Department, for example, brought back retiree Rayvella Zentner as a CEA 4 earning $57.34 per hour – the hourly rate for a salaried employee at the same level – to update the state's moribund recruiting and retention programs.
Zentner, whose monthly pension is $7,150 before taxes, held a full-time career executive position a few years ago as head of a newly minted Human Resources modernization program. "HR Mod" ceased to exist and its 30 positions were eliminated in a massive government reorganization last year.
Technically, that meant the position Zentner held was eliminated as well.
But the program's goals still exist. So after another manager moved on, Human Resources Director Julie Chapman brought Zentner back. She has focused on overhauling the state personnel system and "mentoring staff so they can take over these critical duties," department spokeswoman McConahay said.
Zentner is training a full-time employee recently hired to take over the job in the near future, McConahay said.
Retirees 'mission critical'?
Some retirees have held top-level state jobs for years.
The chief counsel for the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, Ralph Hilton III, retired in 2009 and draws a $9,041 pension each month.
He kept the chief counsel title he has held since 2001, preparing arguments for cases that go to court and dispensing legal advice to the board for $73.15 per hour, up to a maximum $70,224 per year.
Bob Dresser, whom the governor appointed as board chairman in 2011, said he considered replacing Hilton with a full-time employee two years ago.
But the department was in disarray, he said, having fallen well below federal standards for turning around unemployment benefits appeals in a timely manner.
"My thought was that he has so much institutional knowledge and that to train someone in that kind of chaotic situation it would have taken me months," Dresser said. "In my view, he's mission critical."
Now that the board is emerging from federal oversight to improve its performance, Dresser said he plans to hire a full-time chief counsel.
Hilton could stay on, Dresser said, "but only as a full-time employee."
Like Hilton, retiree Diane Cummins brings years of experience and expertise to her $60.21-per-hour executive position at the Department of Finance. Her state pension pays another $12,709 gross per month.
Finance Department spokesman H.D. Palmer said that Cummins played a role in developing the plan to downsize the state's prison population, and has held high-level positions working for Democratic as well as Republican leaders.
And although she's paid only up to the 960-hour annual maximum for retired annuitants, Cummins "has been working in the office on a full-time basis since her return, so it's essentially one dollar of pay for two dollars' worth of work," Palmer said.
"I'd make the strong argument that the state's return for her services is definitely higher than two-to-one."
The Department of Developmental Services had nine retirees listed as career executives, including an acting executive director at the Sonoma Developmental Center, a statewide system education administrator, policy advisers and a management investigator.
Spokeswoman Nancy Lungren said the department deemed the employees "mission critical under the criteria established by the governor's order," but did not elaborate.
State oversight of those determinations is so thin that State Auditor Elaine Howle in 2011 urged a sweeping review of retirees holding leadership titles and suggested that in some instances they were overpaid.
"(I)t appears that some retired annuitants did not return to the same position," Howle said in a letter to Brown, "yet may have been or are being paid at the same rate as when they were employed in the leadership position."
Leaving the "mission critical" decisions to departments opens the opportunity for abuse, said Norma Suave, who retired last year after a 36-year state career in labor relations and human resources.
"Anytime you delegate this stuff out, you need to have a strong audit function," Suave said. "But with retired-annuitant CEAs, right now it's a fox guarding the henhouse."

Hm....I'm not really sure which one character I could say is my favorite above all. So here's the first of my favorites that comes to mind (probably because I'm looking at her right now).
Kurenai Yuhi
As beautiful as the flowers her enemies will see, but still a warrior of great ability. She fools them into believing things untrue, quickly causing their minds to undo. She trains her charges well until they depart, a caring woman with a loving heart. Though she lost her love once she gained another, now more than just a warrior and also a mother.
Oh wow. I even ended up rhyming. Cheesy as that monstrosity of a poem is, yay me. xD
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear
Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear

There's no room for friendly rivalry in Truck Wars – where it's claws out from the word go!
This light-hearted yet tricky monster truck driving game combines fun action, smart keyboard tapping requirements with good strategy.

This task is no mean feat as you must contend with lazy farmyard animals, shrubbery, trees, steep hills, hollows, and generally uneven driving conditions.
This stimulating virtual cargo delivery game requires great patience, savvy keyboard control, and the ability to react quickly to the conditions. While you are rewarded for fast level completion, speeding toward your target parking spot is a really poor strategy. You must be much more controlled in your driving, taking into account the treacherous conditions and the very fragile goods in the back of your truck. So, are you up to the challenge of proving yourself as a competent cargo delivery driver? Remember, no mistakes are tolerated in Forest Cargo 3D!

There are no fancy tricks, power-ups, or shortcuts – This is simply a stern test of your virtual driving capabilities.
Your taxi cab reacts very sensitively to even the slightest keyboard touch, and this means that you need to be on tip-top finger-tapping form in order to progress. There is literally no room for error – One tiny mistake, and you have failed, no matter what! Although there is no clock timer, you will likely still feel under pressure. Expert focus, unerring concentration, great patience and determination are all really important skills required here as you try to inch your way toward the final parking spot. Ok Cabbie, it's time to prove your worth behind the wheel!
Only the most patient and determined will succeed! Chaos Parking is an extremely tricky Flash car parking & skill-based game where you have to negotiate one of the most chaotic, cluttered parking lots imaginable! Your designated parking spot is attractively free of charge, but unfortunately there are dozens of haphazardly-positioned cars, loose wheels, cones, and other obstacles between your initial position and the free space! Needless to say, really good keyboard tapping control is absolutely essential here. Because of the cluttered nature of this particular parking lot, one teeny little mishap will almost certainly result in a crash! Are you ready to squeeze your precious automobile through some incredibly tight spaces? Happy maneuvering, and safe driving!
If you thought car parking games were tough, try your hand at driving a large, lumbering tractor! Maneuvering this agricultural beast into narrow spots sure is no easy job! Tractor Parking 3D is a frantic farmyard driving game where you have little room for error as you try to guide an virtual tractor into a designated parking space in each level. Sharp corners, winding bends, and troublesome rock obstacles all stand in your way as you attempt to carefully and methodically inch the big vehicle toward the target box.
This fun tractor parking simulation activity relies on deft mouse movement, steady fingers, and 100% concentration. Despite its size, your tractor is surprisingly sensitive to your controls, so be very careful when turning. One little mistake, and your attempt is over! Enjoy the tractor driving challenge!

Warehouse forklift work might not immediately seem like the most heart-stopping activity but you'd be surprised how intricate and difficult it is to cautiously maneuver freight around the room. Gravity is both your friend and your opponent, and one tiny mistake could result in the precious freight toppling from a high ledge! Enjoy this stern test of your indoor driving skills!
Online parking simulation games usually involve maneuvering cars and trucks into tight parking lot spaces. Well, how about we step it up a notch - and see whether or not you've got the nerve and skills required to park a huge commercial 747 jet! Park It 3D: Airplanes is an immensely challenging and engrossing piloting / parking simulation activity where you have to carefully guide a massive airliner from the runway to the airport boarding gate without crashing into any objects. As well as the challenge of steering the plane through the winding obstacle course, you also have to reach your destination before the clock runs out!
This cool Unity-based 3D airplane game centers around pinpoint keyboard tapping. Remember, this isn't a delicate little Ferrari at your fingertips - it's a giant commercial jet, so you really need to be vigilant and crafty in your movements. One single degree of error in the wrong direction could result in disaster!

When a cold snap hits in the winter months, the diligent snow plow driver springs into action, removing thick snow and ice from outdoor surfaces so that you can continue on your journey! Snow Plow is a tricky online truck driving game where you must clear a large amount of snow from a parking lot into a designated area. Your snow plow (sometimes spelled as snowplough) is a large and powerful beast of a truck - so cautious, vigilant driving is the absolute key to plowing success!
The snow plow's movement is quite sensitive, and even the tiniest finger-slip can lead to a devastating driving mistake which results in a dented car, and a doomed mission! Strategic planning and deft driving skills are required here as a simple "gung-ho' / let's clear this snow" approach definitely won't yield good results. You must execute extremely difficult, tight-space driving maneuvers in order to ensure that all snow is cleared into the appropriate zone, and that no other vehicles are damaged in the process. Beginners beware – this is 'snow' easy task! Do you have the cautious driving discipline, parking skills and determination to take on this very important winter job?
Specialized off-road, 4X4 truck drivers are a very special breed of vehicle owner. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, these exceptional motorists hold a secret tournament where the best drivers in the business test their skills against their peers on a series of dramatic obstacle courses set within a cluttered construction site! And, luckily for you, we've managed to sneak your very own 4X4 onto the start line! Urban Explorer is a very challenging online driving game where you have to successfully negotiate 8 extremely tricky obstacle-filled circuits featuring a random scattering of scaffolds, barrels, stacked pipes, crates, and other heavy industrial objects. You have to carefully maneuver your powerful off-road truck over these obstacles to a distant finish line.
This fun driving challenge requires a great deal of patience, dogged determination, and more than a little keyboard-tapping skill. Your dominant 4X4 truck is relatively difficult to control, and the added task of vaulting over large obstacles makes this task particularly tough. Keeping the truck balanced at a fairly high speed is the key to success, while a ticking clock and a handy nitro-booster definitely helps you to get the lead out of the exhaust pipe. There is an opportunity for fancy mid-air stunts, but beware; if you allow the vehicle to land on its roof – it's curtains for the show! Ok Off-Road Superstar, let's see what you can do behind the wheel of this beauty! It's rev 'em up time!
The chills of winter have swooped down on an unsuspecting group of drivers, and the village car park needs a heroic problem-solving snow-plow truck driver to bail them out of a big snowy jam! Snow Storm is a challenging online maze-like puzzle game where you have to use a snowplow to clear specific percentages of snow" from a snow covered car park. With various restrictions on the amount of snow you can displace in any particular direction, this becomes a difficult battle of wits where you have to plan a specific and strategic route through the snow.
This interesting and unusual brain teaser should be a good fit for players who enjoys a good maze-based puzzle, and fans of problem-solving activities with a fun twist. Although you are behind the wheel of a powerful 'Mr. Plow' snow truck, your sharp decision making skills are much more important than the actual driving of the truck. Strategic planning and the ability to think one step ahead are both valuable attributes to have in your locker here. Brrrrrr! It's really cold out there – let's see if you can warm things up with some hot puzzle solving brain-power!

Cars, barrels, crates, and other cargo have to be carefully driven along roads that feature steep climbs, sudden drops, troublesome obstacles, and more. Do you think you can perform in such a high-pressure driving environment?
This tricky RPG driving activity requires a steady hand, a cool head, and savvy driving skills. Keeping your freight balanced on the treacherous terrain can prove extremely difficult, so make sure to drive with care. While you score more points for finishing each level quickly, you score no points if your freight falls off the truck. Ok Trucker, let's put this monster into gear! Safe delivery!

My 12 year old daughter was given a Hepatitis A vaccine in January (its a long story). I forgot about it until now, but she's overdue for a booster. It was supposed to be given 6 months after the original vaccine. Has the first one worn off such that its too late to get a booster, or should we go ahead and give it anyway?
If you want her to get the booster, she can get it at any time during her life. According to the CDC, "A vaccine series does not need to be restarted, regardless of the time that has elapsed between doses.Â
That's interesting. I wonder why not? Once when I missed a booster for our dog, the vet advised starting the series over because the original vaccine would have worn off by then and I missed the window of opportunity. Is it different for animals, or was the vet wrong?

A flat surface: preferably in a non-windy area, and made of a material where small fragments cannot be lost and no lint/hairs will be gained (such as a carpet, ugh)
I am using a piece of paper on the floor, remember though, a piece of paper is not adequate on your lap.
A good paper: I reccommend EZ wider 1 1/2's or double wide, zig zags, top, rizlas, bambu, and most hemp or rice papers, but there are many good papers out there. Its best to find your preferred papers through trial and error, if you want to call getting stoned error. There are slow-burning, and flavored papers out there, as well as many other things, so be adventurous.
Note; It is sometimes good to stick two papers together (seen below) to give you more space to roll. Today I will be using HemPire 100% hemp papers, they are large so I do not feel the need for two papers, but I will take a picture of a pair of Bambu chocolate papers put together to demonstrate.
Weed: Weed must be ground properly and not too moist, if you have some really really sticky weed, it might not roll properly, so either dry the weed out or don't roll a joint in that instance. Grinders are useful investments for lazy people, but weed can be properly broken up with care by hand. Be sure to remove all stems and seeds at this stage, I hope your weed is seedless for you, but a seed can sneak into some dank sometimes or come in droves on lesser quality bud.
Make a small lip at the bottom of your paper with the glue facing up and on top. The lip should not come up past the halfway point of the paper, or weed might roll out the ends later.
Spread your green evenly throughout that lip, taking care to remain a good half inch or more from the ends on each side to minimize spillage. This is the point at which some people insert their roach, so they can roll it up into their joint. A roach is either the end of a smoke joint or a small piece of paper or cardboard paper at the mouth end of a joint so you can smoke it until it is next to nothing, so you don't draw through and weed, and so the end can become moist but still draw very well. I put my roach in later however.
Bring the lip over the weed and bring down, this may need to be repeated and may take several times before you do not spill much weed, depending on your skill. Some weed may be spilled, but it can be used later in the joint. Keep this up until you have a nice tight log in the bottom of the joint, that you can comfortably roll upwards.
Roll the lip making sure to push down on the log to retain tightness, and making sure that you edge is folded in across the whole paper. Then once you reach the glue, lick and seal making a tight fit.
You may be finished here, but if you spilled before there is a nice open joint end where you can drop in weed and tamp down with a small tool (pencil, pen roach clip, needle, twig) that can be almost anything.
A finishing strategy that some may use to make a tight joint, it to tamp down one end and pinch it shut, and grab ahold of the flattened paper and shake down the weed inside, this can often make the joint density more uniform, but don't make it too tight, or it will not burn properly.
This is where I insert the roach, with the extra room in the paper that I have tamped down, I take a small tear of index card, roll it into a rounded moutpiece and stick it into the end of the joint, make sure it is not too big or too small. If it is too big it will break the paper. A slightly too small roach can be remedied by making another or by wetting the paper so it conforms to the roach shape, this improves the roaches stability by attaching it the the paper.
The pen indicates the location of the roach
The last step is to enjoy your smoking of your joint, which may not be the prettiest joint, but damn it to hell, it works right nice.
But if you hate joints, or still can't roll them, there are plenty of options.
You can invest in a roller, which are very inexpensive

You're a Brave Man, Julius Zimmerman
Disney-Hyperion, Jun 1, 2001 - Juvenile Fiction - 160 pages
The sequel to Losers, Inc. Twelve-year-old Julius Zimmerman is the former vice president of the defunct organization Losers, Inc. Ethan Winfield, the former president, no longer feels like a loser. But Julius still does, maybe because his mother thinks of him that way. To " improve" him, Mrs. Zimmerman signs Julius up for a summer course in intensive French and for a part-time job baby-sitting three-year-old Edison Blue. She also sets a summer reading goal for him. Julius doesn`t ace the French class and doesn`t do the required reading, but he does turn out to have a winning way with kids -- and adults -- and in the end proves to his mother that her criteria for success aren`t the only ones.

Can a Constitutional Amendment Overrule a Supreme Court Decision?
Paulsen, Michael Stokes, Constitutional Commentary
Of course it can, you idiot!, you might well say to me, answering my title question. Why would anyone waste even the minimal time needed to write a short, light article addressing a question with such a ridiculously self-evident answer?
Could I slow you down for just a moment, please? Sometimes thinking about why a proposition is so self-evidently true can help answer other questions that folks find not quite so obvious. Moreover, I have learned from experience that some law students, at least at first, are not so clear about the answer to my question. Several times, I have had a student ask some version of this question in the first week of my first-year, first-semester Constitutional Law course.
It is not really that surprising a question. For students whose primary exposure to constitutional law has come from high school or junior high classes in history, government, or civics, or from the media, the well-accepted shorthand is that the Supreme Court decides what the Constitution says. The relationship between what the Supreme Court has held, and a constitutional amendment, might not be immediately obvious to those with only this rudimentary, reductionist understanding of how constitutional law works. So, rather than being condescending (never a good teaching tactic), I have found that such confusion can supply a valuable "teaching moment"--as it turns out, for me as well as for my students. I have learned, for example, that the answer to this question can teach a good bit about constitutional law, even to those who think themselves sophisticates in the field.
I therefore begin with what I agree should be an extraordinarily simple principle: A constitutional amendment trumps a prior Supreme Court decision.
Allow me one simple, paradigmatic example. The Thirteenth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment "overrule," respectively, each of Dred Scott's two main atrocious holdings: first, that the Fifth Amendment protection against deprivation of liberty or property without "due process of law" includes a substantive constitutional right to own slaves, as against federal government interference; and second, that black men and women, including free blacks, cannot be "citizens" of the United States or of any state within the meaning of Article III and Article IV's clauses that concern certain legal consequences incident to state citizenship. The Thirteenth Amendment prohibits slavery. Period. The amendment thus directly overrules Dred Scott's insidious creation of a substantive due process constitutional right to own slaves in federal territory. The Fourteenth Amendment's first sentence provides that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the state in which they reside, overruling Dred Scott's equally insidious citizenship holding.
At some point in the first few weeks of class, I usually use the above example of amendments superseding a Supreme Court decisions. A student sometimes asks, innocently enough (if it is early enough in the first semester of law school--it becomes a bit harder to swallow when one reads such things in the end-of-the-year exams), why an amendment beats a prior Supreme Court decision. After all, students frequently come to law school understanding, from years of having been taught by junior high, high school, and college instructors, that what the Supreme Court says, goes, .for constitutional law. The Constitution means what the Supreme Court interprets it to mean. That's what Marbury v. Madison established. (Right?)
I consider it the moral imperative of the first six days of a good Constitutional Law class--or, perhaps, the first six weeks or six months--to lead students to the realization of the seriousness of this error in their thinking and so to undo the harm of what Mrs. Krueger or Mr. McCormack or Mr. Ostertag (probably their real names) taught them in fourth grade and again in eighth, and in tenth, and what Professor Polisci confirmed in American Government class at the University of Mischiefsota because that is what he was taught in junior high, too. …

Check it out. This is a mod some people have made using the Valve Source Engine. And it's free, so long as you have Hal-Life 2 (I think).
That looks pretty cool. They absolutely nailed down the look of the visitor center, lab and the Raptor Pen. Most Jurassic Park games haven't been that good, but this looks like it could be pretty cool. Thanks for posting Disturbed.

At 10:00am PDT tomorrow, someone will win the 1000 Swag Buck Swagstakes. A single entry is only 10 Swag Bucks – which means you have a chance to win 100 times the cost of a single entry. That's more than a dollop of digital dollars, a mess of mega bucks, a gaggle of green (and blue).
What I'm trying to say is that it's a lot of Swag Bucks. You should enter now.
Good Luck,

Atlanta's Digital TV Channels
Atlanta is second in the nation for the number of digital stations available
The Free Channels Can You Receive With An Antenna?
Below is a list of the over 99 FREE Digital TV channels that can possibly be received in the Atlanta, GA area with an Over-The-Air antenna if in the right area. Because digital TV doesn't use as much bandwidth as the old analog TV, each station can provide more channels (sub-channels) per frequency, thus the dot or dash numbers .2 .3 .4 etc. channel numbers. The primary channel will always be the .1. 2.1 is ABC or WSB channel 2 as you know it from cable, satellite and analog TV the dot .1 channels are usually HD. Some stations are low power and for a specific area like KTN Korean 47.1, is in Norcross and its signal doesn't go very far. WANN is low power but, shares a very high major tower. It holds its own with the high power stations in the metro Atlanta area but still its signal won't reach as far as a million watt major channel many times . Most of the major Atlanta stations are at 1 million watts power and have a strong signal around the Atlanta area and reaching well into and past the suburbs. Sub-channels (the .2 +) allow for more content & advertising to be provided to viewers. Most of the major stations primary channels are broadcast in HD but their sub-channels are in SD or standard definition.
Some of the digital stations upgrade and changing channels occasionally. Some will add new channels, move channels, and change channel numbers so you have to RE-SCAN your TV or Digital Box on a regular basis or you may not see the new sub-channels or changes some TV will add them automatically.
Most all of the stations are transmitted using the UHF band. Two stations use the VHF band. The UHF band is a high frequency that has a shorter range than the VHF band. That is why it can be tricky to receive digital TV in the Atlanta area with its hills, buildings & trees. UHF frequencies are affected by trees, buildings, even strong winds moving tree limbs. They kind of act like light beams traveling straight, but can be reflected in a different direction.
Many people who used to have an antenna on their home had the old style log periodic type all band VHF/Uhf/FM antenna with the long rods in the back and short rods in the front which, will work with digital TV, it just will not perform as well as the newer designed UHF/VHF broad lobe antennas we use that are far better designed for the Atlanta reception area. Plus Uhf antennas are not as large.
Unlike Analog TV where you could watch a weak snowy picture with good sound, with Digital TV you will either have a perfect watchable picture or an unwatchable picture that will pixilat with the sound cutting in & out. We always use a higher gain antenna than is necessary for the strongest trouble-free reception available.
The main Atlanta network stations in the list below are highlighted in Red and most .1 channels are in HD. These channels are a must have and any others channels received are a bonus. Some low power channels may broadcast intermittently. New channels can be added at any time. Some channels are low power stations and their signal will not reach as far as the major high power stations and may not be received outside their areas or at your address.

text: I understand the concept of a reactive species on a sort of vague and intuitive level: a reactive species is one that has lots of reactions that it can participate in. These tend to have large kinetic constants, be thermodynamically downhill and often have products that are also reactive, leading to knock-on effects. But reactivity isn't the same as energy, and it's possible to have highly reactive species with relatively low free energies and vice versa. I'm interested in whether there's any kind of formal theory of reactivity, and/or a quantitative definition of the concept. For example, we're often told that free radicals are reactive because they have an unpaired electron and they "want" to fill their outer shell. This makes perfect sense on an intuitive level, but I'd like to know if it can be taken further. Is there some way we can write down an equation that will tell us how reactive a species will be in a given environment, or is there some way we can measure a species' reactivity empirically and use it to make predictions? In particular, what does it really mean to say that one species is more or less reactive than another? Can we put a number to it and say that a species has a reactivity of 8.2 on some meaningful scale? thanks.

Vandal Critic Art Tags
by Nath, published
Thing Info
Let's face it - buying a texta/permanent marker does not an artist make.
More often than not the good stuff is covered by some scribble.
So don't dispair! Print out these to "class up the joint" a bit with some grumpy/critical review when some scumbag has tagged somewhere.
Will be adding more. Pick the one you like, print it out and stick it with a bit of double sided tape under the offending "art" work.
v1: "Shitty Scribbly Mess" by Another Talentless Moron (2012)
v2: "Illegible & illegal" by Some Little Fuckwit (2012)
Stole the concept from somewhere but the text is my ranting, although suggestions/derivatives welcome.
A printing suggestion - swap filament colours after the base bit is done - that way the few mm of text will be different colour.

Portugal with a late equaliser to keep their dream alive
Created on Jun. 22, 2014 8:01 PM EST

The USA thought they had sent Portugal packing as goals from Jones and Dempsey in the second half would have seen the North Americans qualify for the next stage of the competition. But Portugal would have the final say as Varela scored in the final minute of the match to keep Portugal's World Cup dreams alive.
Portugal keep their World Cup hopes alive as they drew against the USA
Nani got the Portuguese off to the best start as he would give them the lead after only 5 minutes of play. The USA got off to a nervous start as Portugal looked to take over the game early on. The Portuguese would take advantage of the nerves and open the scoring after a terrible defensive error by Cameron. Veloso wold whip in a low curling cross from the left side towards the centre of the box. Cameron would attempt to clear the ball on the volley but would slice the ball and it fell at the feet of Nani near the far post. Howard wasn't given a chance, as Nani powered the ball into the roof of the net. 1-0 and Portugal in the drivers seat early in the match.
Nani powered Portugal into the lead after only 5 minutes of play
The USA bounced back after going down a goal and settled into the game. They pressed forward well and enjoyed some good spells with the ball too. Johnson was playing well and getting into some good positions down the right side. He even made a good run that saw him venture into the box, but the defender would get in the way and block the attempt. Dempsey was next to step up for the US and found himself avoiding the defenders but his shot would go wide of the mark. Portugal in the lead but the US were still in this game. The half started to draw to an end and the US had Tim Howard to thank that the scoreline remained at 1-0. Just moments before the halftime whistle Nani would fire in a powerful low shot from about 20 yards out. Howard dove to his left and managed to get a fingertip on the ball and push it into the post. The ball rebounded back and fell at the feet of Eder. The striker tried to cleverly chip the ball into the net, but once again Howard would be there to push the ball over the crossbar and deny Portugal their second of the game.
Howard keeps the US in the match with a brilliant save moments before halftime
The second half and the game was evenly matched. It was end to end action by both sides as the teams played very openly and attackingly. The US should have made it 1-1 as Bradley had a tremendous opportunity to level the score. A beautiful run by Johnson saw him break behind the defenders and drag Howard out wide right. He squared the ball back across the goal face and Bradley had an empty net to tap in to. Though Costa would scramble back and get a vital goal line clearance to keep his team in the lead. Though the stadium would be roaring soon after as Jermaine Jones would cannon in a wonderful strike from outside the box to bring his team back into the match. 1-1 and Portugal in trouble of having their World Cup campaign come to an end.
Jones got the USA back on level ground with wonderful strike from the top of the box.
The game got even hotter after that as once again Howard was called into action and the veteran keeper didn't disappoint as once again he denied Portugal in attack. Meireles this time would see his attempt from the inside the box well covered by Howard as the Portuguese midfielder was left unmarked. The match ticked over and Portugal in desperate need of a goal to keep their World Cup dreams alive. They pressed on but Klinsmann had well organised his team as they defended well and kept Portugal out. Then the captain of the USA Dempsey would think he had sealed the deal as he chested the USA into the lead from close range in the 82nd minute. Though there would be high drama in the final minute of injury time as Portugal were given a lifeline with Ronaldo's cross which found Varela at the far post and he got the crucial goal to keep Portugal's World Cup alive.
In the other match played saw Algeria walk away with a 4-2 victory over South Korea and give themselves a chance when they face Germany in their final group game.

Mitt Romney -- a successful businessman, savior of the Salt Lake Olympics and former Republican governor of a Northeastern state -- may not be the most obvious Republican choice for commander in chief. John McCain may seem like a more obvious choice when one considers his stalwart defense of the "surge," support for the war in Iraq, and his Vietnam heroism. But if you listen to the way Romney's been talking lately, the "obvious choice" may change.
Romney has a chance to capitalize on the fact that this has not been a particularly proud few weeks for the West. Iran essentially declared victory in the hostage standoff with Britain. The U.S. Speaker of the House has been practicing her own foreign policy, visiting Iran's best friend Syria while raising the possibility of going to Iran.
Last September, Romney refused to provide state security for former Iranian president Mohammed Khatami. "State taxpayers should not be providing special treatment to an individual who supports violent jihad and the destruction of Israel," Romney said.
We were treated to his ironclad Republican ideology again earlier this month when Romney commented on administration faux paus, "Washington is a broken place right now, dysfunctional in some respects, which has been evidenced by the trip by Nancy Pelosi to Syria, but also evidenced by the failure to deal with overspending." These comments were made as Pelosi embarrassed America by parading around Syria and meeting with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad in Damascus against White House objections.
"I'm going to suggest that the Democrats in Washington provide the funding necessary to support the foreign policy which is established by the president of the United States. It is not up to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to dictate to the commanders in the field or to the commander in chief," Romney said.
He followed those comments up with a speech at the George H. W. Bush presidential library in Houston -- not only supporting President Bush's current troop-surge policy in Iraq, but calling for increased spending on the U.S. military.
Further evidence that Romney is prepared for his own surge? In first-quarter fundraising reports, Romney came out in front among Republicans in the race. And despite being faced with real and perceived obstacles (the "flip-flopper" label he's earned for a list of issues he's changed his mind on over the years, and the fact that he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which is expected by many to be an issue with evangelical voters and others), polls in states like New Hampshire and South Carolina suggest he's making progress.

What is the official name of the EGR2 gene?
The official name of this gene is "early growth response 2."
EGR2 is the gene's official symbol. The EGR2 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page.
What is the normal function of the EGR2 gene?
The EGR2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called early growth response 2, which is part of the early growth response family of proteins. These proteins bind to specific areas of DNA and help control the activity of particular genes. On the basis of this action, the proteins are called transcription factors.
The early growth response 2 protein activates several genes that are involved in the formation and maintenance of myelin, the protective substance that covers nerve cells. Myelin is essential for the efficient transmission of nerve impulses.
How are changes in the EGR2 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the EGR2 gene located?
Cytogenetic Location: 10q21.1
Molecular Location on chromosome 10: base pairs 62,811,996 to 62,919,895
(Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) (
The EGR2 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 10 at position 21.1.
More precisely, the EGR2 gene is located from base pair 62,811,996 to base pair 62,919,895 on chromosome 10.
See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? in the Handbook.
Where can I find additional information about EGR2?
You and your healthcare professional may find the following resources about EGR2 helpful.
You may also be interested in these resources, which are designed for genetics professionals and researchers.
