Link to Wikipedia Entry on the 5.45x39 to include Dimensions and History
How does the 5.45x39 AR-15 differ from a 'standard' .223/5.56 AR-15?
Barrel, Bolt, Magazines. (sometimes lower if you want to use AK-74 magazines)
from Postal0311:
While you can use a standard lower fire control group, I had multiple failures to fire that way. The heavier spring gave me 100% ignition.
As well, the Geissele Hi-Speed trigger works 100%.
Lower Required
Standard Buffer works.
Barrel Threading
Standard 5.56 muzzle threading 1/2"x28

You can use 5.56 suppressors if your barrel stabilizes the ammo you are using and you are willing to put corrosive residue in your can.

Manufacturers of Uppers
Bolt Sources:
Barrel Sources:
from BSF: 10 with occasional missfeeds.
from HiramRanger: Uses 20 and 30 rounders with the old style followers... do NOT use green followes. Do not load to full capacity due to difference in taper of the rounds.
from RS39: Runs about 25 rnds on black follower AR mags, round taper/stack tilt limits total and mandates no green anti-tilt followers.
from MOS2111:I have used HK, HK w/6.8 followers, and USGI with 6.8 followers. I can get between 17 to 26 rounds depending on the mag body. I have not found any "standard" mag body that holds a set amount. It seems to be a combination of body, follower and spring (surprise, right). Most of the mags had no problems feeding and I only ran into problems on the last several rounds. After I forced as many rounds as possible in the mag, and let them sit for 2 days until I could shoot. The only mag problems I ran into were failure to chamber, where the projectile and front of the case were "pinched" by the bolt.
Q: Can you use a 7.62x39 Magazine?
A: No.
Q: Can you use a 6.5 Grendle Magazine?
A: No
Q: Can you use a PMAG?
A: No
(from TheHighRoad thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-41407.html)
There are no brass 5.45x39mm cases on the planet. But I resize new 222 Remington brass in a RCBS 5.45x39mm dies and trim to length. Resize.224" bullets in a Lee .221" lube & size die. Then load them with a powder charge half way between the 221 Rem Fireball and 222 Rem for the bullet weight I am using. The 5.45x39mm case capacity is 1/2 way between the two. I sent some 5.45x39mm ammo I made with Hornady 68gr HPBT match bullets to a guy in California. He got sub 1" groups at 100 yards from his East German SSG-85 bolt action 5.45x39mm rifle. I shot them in one of my Romanian CUR-2 AK rifles but was really only concerned about feeding/function and fire-forming the brass. I have reloaded the cases twice and only lost 3 of 100 to case splits.
http://www.huntingtons.com/CustomDies.html for a full length sizing die set #56065 are $119.95.
If you are going to shoot the ammo you make in a AK rifle make sure to order some CCI # 41 military spec small rifle primers as regular primers will give you slam fires.
Call Lee and special order a .221" lube & size die for $25.
The 220 Russian is a 7.62x39mm case necked down to use .224" bullets. It was a fairly popular benchrest round in northern Europe. This is the case that the 22 and 6mm PPC cartridges used by American benchrest shooters were made from. The reason Remington makes their 7.62x39mm cases to use small rifle primers while all other mfgs. use large rifle primers. Is so they could sell brass to benchrest shooters to form into PPC cases. This was done quite allot till Norma started making the PPC cases.
I am JA545 of the quoted info in the above post.
Still loading 5.45x39mm the same way and my latest project has been tracers. I bought some M-856 bullets from (http://iidbs.com/hitech/), then resized them in the Lee .221" lube & size die and loaded them up. They functioned and traced 100% in my Romanian AK rifle. I have to add this about the availability of 5.45x39mm brass.
( http://www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/browse.cfm/4,670.html )
But if you notice the * on the listing for the 5.45x39mm brass and this is from their website. "If you see an * in the brass description then this case is formed from a more readily available case and will have the parent case headstamp on it. You may need to full length size and or trim your brass before loading."
At their price for 100 brass I pretty much paid for my 5.45x39mm dies by making the first 100 brass from 222 Rem brass.
How to Tell which Ammo is Corrosive and which isn't?
Courtesty of Tom Dugas of Cobbs.com:
Barnaul Arsenal in Russia is still producing today 5.56, 5.45, and 9mmMak using corrosive primers. TODAY. But, they use non-corrosive priming on commercial ammo for export. We hope. There is no way to tell with foreign ammo by simply looking at it. A test is the only absolute sure way.
Home test for corrosive ammo:
You will need to have FOUR controls for an accurate test:
Positive Control - A known corrosively primed round (I use 1940 dated 7.62x54R)
Negative Control - A known non-corrosively primed round (I use Remington .22LR)
Control - A clean piece of degreased metal
Test Control - The suspect round
First, pull all bullets, dump powder and discard. We want THREE primed empty cartridge cases here folks. Be safe.
Clean and degrease FOUR pieces of steel. I use old unusable M-16 Stripper clip housings (the steel piece, not the brass insert). I prep them by briefly touching the steel to a grind wheel to expose raw steel (this gets rid of the Parkerizing). Label each piece with a 1,2,3, & 4 with a marking (sharpie/permanent) pen.
Label each empty cartridge case with a 1, 2, or 3. Fire each cartridge case onto its corresponding numbered piece of steel. The fourth piece is placed with the others as a ambient temperature/humidity control. Place all four pieces in a shallow Tupperware container on top of your fridge near the back (this is an ideal warm humid place) UNCOVERED for 4-5 days.
Optional: If you are in a very dry climate, place a shot glass of water in the Tupperware to provide a small region of humidity. Unnecessary anywhere except desert regions or very cold dry climates.
After 4-5 days inspect the pieces of steel. Compare the suspect steel to the CONTROL piece (the one piece you didn't fire a cartridge on). Is it rusted more or less? Does it have strange colors? If yes, compare it to the POSITIVE control. Equal? It's corrosive. Does it look like the NEGATIVE control? Then it is likely that it is non-corrosive. But, still check after you fire the ammo for fast growing crud. The difference will be obvious, as a corrosively primed round will grow rust and strange stuff almost overnight. Sometimes, the Negative control piece will exhibit almost zero rust, due to the sealing effect the priming compound has on the steel. This is especially true if you use a .22 pistol to fire the empty cartridge, like I do.
This is not a perfect test, but it is one you can use at home with great accuracy. I have used it for over 10 years, for hundreds of suspect rounds, and I was wrong ONCE (verified by lab test). So, my success rate is still over 99.9% with this test.
Dealing with Corrosive Ammo
Courtesy of Rapidrob
I've been shooting corrosive ammo for the last 50 years. No big deal, it will not destroy your rifle or other firearms if you clean it properly.
To save money, and make your own cleaner you can use the following:
mix a 1/3rd part to part,
Clear Ammonia ( do not use sudsy type )
White Vinegar
Distilled water
When mixed and stored in a plastic bottle the mixture will last for about six months. Soak a patch with this solution,run it down the bore, and let set into the bore no longer than 20 minutes. ( 5 minutes is long enough )
Follow with a Nylon bore brush. Do not use bronze.
Follow with several clean patches. ( the patches will be green from the copper )
Oil as needed.
The solution will remove all of the salts,powder fouling,copper fouling and lead.
I use this solution on all of my firearms. From El-cheapo to my most expensive machine guns. It works,it's cheap and it removes all of the primers salts instantly.
I have never had a rusty bore from shooting corrosive primed ammo using this cleaner,ever.
From SurplusRifle.com:
Most surplus ammo on the market today is corrosive. Usually the primer is the culprit, when fired it coats the inside of the firearm with corrosive salt residue. When the salts combine with moisture, damage starts to occur to the metal surfaces. Oils or petroleum based products will not break down the corrosive salts and therefore are ineffective in cleaning or neutralizing the salt compounds.
I have read that modern bore solvents will break down the salts and I have spoken with chemist friends that tell me that this is not true. Alkaline based solvents will break down the salts, as well as simple soap and water or just plain water. Ammonia will not break down the corrosive salts and can cause damage to the bore if left in too long. Ammonia will remove metal deposits such as copper from the bore.
I for the longest time mixed an ammonia and water based concoction that I used to clean the bolt, bore, and any other effected areas. I then spoke to a friend of mine that said to just use simple ammonia based window cleaner.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Junior Gina Gill eclipsed the 600-kill plateau for the season, leading the Wolfpack with 19 kills in a 3-0 (25-15, 25-19, 25-21) victory over Faulkner University in their SSAC finale on Friday night.
Gill, a junior outside hitter from Baton Rouge, La., finished the night with a stellar .472 hitting percentage. Gill's 618 kills currently ranks second all-time for a single season at Loyola, trailing only Mary Seals' 2007 mark of 695.
Kailey Tuthill finished with nine kills while Sabrina Stansberry had eight. Samantha Worsham handed out 31 assist and added three aces on the night. Amanda Oldani led with 13 digs while Kaki Johnson had 10.
Loyola (24-13, 6-2) dominated the first set, finishing with 15 kills and only one mishap for a .438 percentage. The 'Pack used a 5-0 run to double up the Lady Eagles, 14-7, which included three kills by Gill. Loyola continued to maintain control, winning 25-15 after kills by Tuthill and Stansberry.
The Wolfpack hit .306 in the second set to win 25-19 before sealing the match with a 25-21 win in the final game.
Faulkner (13-20, 2-6) was led by Neysa Hernandez with 13 kills and Kelsey Bell had eight.

Before I got sick earlier this month and shut down both this space and the part of my brain that craves loud sounds, I'd been making an effort to attend more shows. I was aiming to snap myself out of a home-bound listening routine that generally involves staring at a wall with headphones on, my hands on a keyboard and my body at a sort of rest that looks like death. I was missing collective joy, sweaty shapes, throbbing rooms, buzzing ears, expensive beers. And so in the week leading up to that midnight hour when some evil bug found a soft spot in my chest to feed on, I took in as many shows as my sensitive senses could handle.
I took pictures, but my phone is apparently intent on capturing blur and blur alone at this point. So hold this familiar image in your mind's eye: guitars; black t-shirts; drummers doing that weird chewing-strangling thing with their mouths while they play; bass players attempting to disappear into their own awkward shells; and people like me standing and staring, waiting to be impressed or at least not bored.
I was mostly not bored and sometimes impressed. This is what I saw.
Anne, Your Rival, Industrial Park – Holocene, June 3
I almost skipped this one. I was afraid Anne's melancholy shoegazing would tip my malaise over into serious sadness. But I went, prepared to shed public tears. Turns out Anne's headlining set, which was far more exuberant than I'd expected, sent me back out into the night trailing good vibes. It was newcomer Industrial Park that hacked through to my plaintive parts and cuddled up to my soul-sickness. This local guitar-drum duo self-identifies as âdoom-gazeâ, and I'm hard-pressed to hammer together a more apt hyphenated descriptor. But âpost-punk-slowcoreâ or âgoth-gazeâ might come close to capturing what Industrial Park is up to with its droning, driving soundtracks for sadsacks. I know who I'll be turning to next time I'm looking to wallow, that's all I know. LISTEN!
Mean Jeans, Therapists, Long Knife – Star Bar, June 6
I'm ashamed to admit this was my first time catching Portland punks Therapists. They play seemingly everywhere all the time, but for some reasonâprobably my mild agoraphobia or my 10pm bedtime or bothâthe stars hadn't aligned before Mean Jeans' tour kick-off show at Star Bar. Better late than never. Standing on a bar stool to see over a packed, bobbing mass of humanity, I witnessed a perfect display of classic punk rock ferocity, the four guys in Therapists pulling off a tight, aggressive blend of Black Flag and the Germs. I recall repeatedly screaming the words âholy shitâ into my brother's blasted ears. I know I say this a lot, but in my universe, it's very high praise: I felt like a teenager all over again, a sloppy mess of joy and rage thrilling to sounds made by people sorta like me who know just what those clashing feelings feel like. WATCH!
White Lung, Wax Idols – The Know, June 9
I was nervous about this show. (Yes, show-going mostly involves a lot of anxiety and shame for me). White Lung's new album, Sorry, had owned my speakers, headphones, brain and heart in the week leading up its appearance at the Know. I was afraid the Vancouver, B.C. band would fail to render the focused, dense fury of its record into a satisfying live experience. I needn't have worried. Well, no, I did need to, because I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't worry, but a more balanced person needn't have done much pre-show fretting, because White Lung is an increasingly rare breed of band, one that can be stripped of overdubbed flourishes without losing any of its beauty and power. Guitarist Kenneth William deserves a good deal of credit for keeping White Lung's live iteration from slipping into rote hardcore speed and volume, his hands seemingly doubling on his guitar's neck to conjure improbable post-punk stabs and swirls while his comrades charge headlong into the fray he creates. Don't miss this band next time they roll through Portland. LISTEN!

Come clean, Mr. Romney.
I don't want to see Mitt Romney's birth certificate. Tom Brokaw said that Romney was awkwardly trying to joke about it recently.
No, what I want to see are Romney's tax returns for the past, say, five years. You either have them or you don't. What are you hiding, Mr. Romney? Stop trying to insult our intelligence.
Frankly, I've never heard of a person running for president of the United States who refused to show his or her tax returns. If you're keeping this from us, what else are you keeping or will you keep from us, Mr. Romney?

The Niyamgiri Mountain has been home to three tribal groups for generations. The mountain provides for all their needs – including food, water and medicines.
After centuries of living in this remote and untouched region of India the lives of hundreds of local tribal people is now under great threat from the mining company Vedanta. The company is looking to mine the mountain for bauxite – the raw form of aluminium – but to do this they are forcing people out of their homes and damaging the forests and streams that have been the lifeblood of these tribal groups for thousands of years.
This short film tells you about their lives before the mining giant moved in and the struggle that has brought them to London in the fight to stop Vedanta destroying their homes and livelihoods.

HAMILTON — A year ago, Trenton Catholic Academy's girls' basketball team lost in its holiday tournament final to St. John Vianney. Last night in a heart-pumping game, TCA emerged with a 51-47 overtime victory over Vianney and won the Renee Keister Division of the Primetime/ESCIT.
Robin Perkins paced the TCAwith 24 points but it was a field goal by Tionna Garner and a followup basket by freshman Myiesha Richardson with 56 seconds left that capped the OT victory.
In the third quarter, TCA held a 37-25 lead.
In the fourth quarter, however, TCA was held to a Perkins' 3-point goal. TCA was outscored 15-3 and the game went in overtime where the TCA reserves saved the day.
"This meant a lot for my team," said Garner, who finished with seven points, four rebounds and two blocks.
"We were missing our point guard (Isis Young) and we really had to pull together. I wasn't nervous out there, I was just excited and I'm just glad I did for the team.
"Our freshman, Myiesha, came up big. It didn't look good at the end of the fourth quarter but we came back because we've got heart. We kept our heads and did what we had to do."
After a sluggish start TCA finally got into the flow late in the first quarter. After being down 9-5, TCA scored the last six points to take an 11-9 lead.
The TCA run continued over the next 5:35 as it outscored SJV 15-3 to start the second quarter. Perkins had a driving lay-in with 2:25 left giving the Mikes a 26-12 advantage.
The Lancers fought back to draw within 26-16 at the half.
In the 21-3 run that spanned the first and second quarters, Perkins had eight of her 13 first-half points. Coming in off the bench was Garner, who came up with two clutch buckets, and Richardson, who sparked TCA by shooting 3-for-4 and pulling down four rebounds.

Pardon me if this is a repeat post, I've been moving to Gmail and am still learning its oddities... I had a chance to put in about 14 hours this weekend, and it's been years since I entered the ARRL DX CW. I noticed that same zero-beat wall a few times when I was trying to run. I really had a hard time with several stations all zero beat. Like John and Rick, I had to wait for someone to call out of sequence, or try to pick out a letter or two to call for. I don't recall seeing this before, though I am sure it was a lot bigger problem for a rare station than for me :) Fortunately (?) with 100W I usually did better S&P than running. Saturday afternoon the JA's were good on 15M... I could copy the 100W JA's about S5 on a quiet band, even the 50 watters were S3, but I never got a solid run going. Rate was around 30/hr. from 2200-2400Z. -- 73 de Chuck, WS1L Oak Grove, MS - EM51 firstname.lastname@example.com _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest

The Sony MDR-NC500D noise-cancelling headphones do a fantastic job of blocking out repetitive ambient noise. When listening to music they also acquit themselves well, with clear sound and a pleasant character.
The Sony MDR-NC500D headphones are suitable for music listening or movie watching, and they pack in some high quality noise-cancelling technology which makes them great for commuting or long-haul plane trips. Sound quality is good and the headphones are well constructed, but they are expensive.
Sony has taken a leaf out of the Bose QuietComfort 3 school of headphone design, with an over-the-ear ear-cup design that lets the headphones nestle comfortably on the head without looking too ridiculous. The cups are finished in a glossy, deep black which lends a sense of class and occasion — these headphones look like they're worth every penny of their $799 sticker price.
The noise cancelling of the Sony MDR-NC500D headphones is exceptionally good. In the PC World offices there are a multitude of keyboards tapping away, not to mention the constant drone of myriad computers and the air conditioning. The headphones' noise cancelling blocked out constant ambient noises entirely, as well as significantly lowering the clatter of keyboard strokes. It can be quite uncanny, however; we found it difficult to adjust to the different air pressure when wearing the headphones.
Thankfully this is solved by listening to any audio — once there is music playing the noise cancellation is much less invasive and unsettling. The headphones do a good job of reproducing audio, with strong and punchy bass response as well as smooth, sweet treble.
The Sony MDR-NC500D headphones have a relatively even frequency response, with no particular emphasis to either bass or treble. Bass response in our test rock music tracks was powerful but restricted to lower notes, giving music a significant kick rather than bloating or sounding muddy. We prefer this as it gives music presence and richness without detracting from mid-range or higher frequencies.
Mid-range frequencies had plenty of detail and gave a warm tone to our music, with guitars and male vocals sounding rich and involving. Treble was also well handled with brass music, and female vocals sounding clear and airy.
The Sony MDR-NC500D headphones have a wide soundstage, with significant separation noticeable between musical instruments. Music and other audio had an enveloping, immersive quality that made it very engaging and easy to listen to.
There is not much we don't like about these headphones, apart from the painfully high price tag. They do a great job of blocking out ambient noise.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

NK burglary suspect arrested near Vegas
Donald L. Pugh was captured in Las Vegas Monday.
The last suspect on the lam in a ring of North Kitsap burglars was taken into custody just outside of Las Vegas on Monday.
Donald Lloyd Pugh Jr. was arrested by Las Vegas Metro Police at about 7:30 a.m. March 30 at the Bonnie Springs Ranch in Nevada, said Kitsap County Sheriff's Office spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson.
He was arrested on KCSO warrants of residential burglary, theft, possession of drug paraphernalia and family non-support. Pugh will face extradition proceedings in Nevada this week.
Pugh was allegedly a part of a burglary ring responsible for stealing $250,000 in property from North Kitsap and Bainbridge Island homes.

During the next 7-10 days MIG will be offline for a period of apporximately 48 hours.
We are changing our hosts following a lack of support and slow responce from their support team along with upgrading the VB software to the latest VB3.6 (i believe) at the same time.
So when the site comes back online we will be on a new server, along with the latest board software which should cure the problems you have been experiencing and for those with other issues, these should be resolved as well.
At the moment the downtime could be wednesday/thursday or it could be over the weekend, but it will be over 48 hours.
Thanks for your patience while we try and finally solve this problem.

There are a couple Alternate WWII games out there, which should tide you over if you need to play tabletop, and my all time favorite RPG engine, Savage Worlds, can handle any setting, especially undead Nazis.
Enjoy your models!!
I just saw a Weird War 2 source book for Savage Worlds, actually. On the new release self at the FLGS - looks like a Sept 1 release.
Put together by Pinnacle. Did a real nice job with the D20 version - I would expect the same from SW.
I hope never to be a giraffe named Marius in Denmark.

|[TowerTalk] ground screen for new lawn

Regarding your question about Tom's reply, a ground screen is not "seen" by a yagi. However, the height of the yagi is an important factor for the TO angle because of the "mirrow" image formed under the ground. I would not have used the word "null" but it is basically correct. Now that we have the TO angle established, another factor comes into being, called the "fresnel ( hope I spelled that right ) zone". This is ( oversimplification ) an area many hundreds of feet away where the "mirror" and actual antenna match up. If you got the angle low enough, it could in fact be miles away. Ever wonder why that antenna seems to work better in some directions? Take a look and see what's out there. This really becomes an important if you have a ridge or such within a few miles.... 73 Ed -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: firstname.lastname@example.com Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com Problems: firstname.lastname@example.com

TNT renews 'Falling Skies' for a second season
10-episode season will premiere in 2012
TNT has formally renewed the alien invasion drama "Falling Skies" for a second season.
The renewal order is for a 10-episode run to premiere in the summer of 2012.
"Falling Skies" premiered on TNT on Sunday, June 19. Including Live+7 data, 8 million viewers tuned in, making it what TNT calls "cable's top series launch of 2011." The premiere also drew 3.8 million viewers in the key 18-49 demographic. The drama, which has begun to rollout in more than 75 international markets, has average 6.4 million viewers through its first three installments, a number that includes a numerically complicated blending of live and time-shifted audiences.
The actual news of the renewal comes nearly two months after Remi Aubuchon was hired as showrunner for a then-hypothetical second season, a piece of early recruiting required by the long lead-time necessary to get "Falling Skies" back into production.Â
"'Falling Skies' is a true standout series, from its ambitious storytelling, high-profile cast and production team to its phenomenal success when it comes to international and time-shifted viewing," states Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and TCM in the renewal release. "We're reaching new audiences with 'Falling Skies' and look forward to seeing where this fascinating and exciting series takes us next."
Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton and Drew Roy star in the series, which was created by Robert Rodat and Steven Spielberg.

And last year was horrific: the Aurora movie theater rampage, the Clackamas Town Center barrage and then the Newtown massacre.
Fifteen years ago this week, they were students just getting to school, grabbing breakfast or talking to friends in the cafeteria when a hail of bullets changed their lives and outlook on life. In some cases, it ended up shaping their futures.
They say what happened at Thurston occasionally ripples through their everyday lives -- sometimes unbidden and sometimes when the latest bout of unthinkable violence erupts. But they've also moved on. The high school tragedy doesn't rule them.
Jolene (Cosby) Leu: 'Part of me felt guilty'
Jolene (Cosby) Leu, now 32, chose not to pursue a career in journalism after the Thurston shooting. Today, she has her own photography business in Springfield. She wasn't shot, but suffered the trauma of seeing her friends shot. "You definitely have emotional scars," she says. "Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they're not there.'' Randy L. Rasmussen/The Oregonian
"I just immediately said, 'Ah, ah, nope, not going to happen,'" she recalled. "I didn't want her birthday to be on that day. It's not a day you forget."
Leu was a junior at Thurston High School in 1998, finishing up her homework in the cafeteria, sitting between her boyfriend, sophomore Jesse Walley, and junior Jake Ryker.
Then she heard "a whole bunch of popping," turned around and saw Kip Kinkel walk in with a gun. Her boyfriend dropped to the floor.
She ducked down beside him. "He shot me," Walley said to her, lifting up his shirt.
"I'm like, 'What? You're shot?'"
Leu looked up to see Ryker run from her side toward Kinkel.
"I was in shock. I didn't know what to do. I asked Jesse what to do. He told me I should run," she said. "I did."
Leu ran through the middle of the cafeteria, past the dog pile of students who tackled Kinkel, then out into the school's courtyard. Students were told to go to their homerooms. She arrived at hers, jeans and tan argyle sweater covered in blood.
"I was around everyone who got shot," she said, "but I didn't."
Walley, on her left, was wounded in the abdomen. Ryker, to her right, was shot in the chest. Nichole Buckholtz, sitting in front of her, was shot in the leg. Jennifer Alldredge, beside Ryker, was hit in the back and right hand.
In the days, months and years that followed, Leu, now 32, suffered tremendous survivor guilt.
"It had a deep effect because I was dealing with the same emotions and fears they were," she said, "but I didn't have any physical scars to prove that I had gone through it with them. I had nothing to show for it."
And, while other students were showered with praise for running toward Kinkel to stop him, Leu had to live with the fact that she fled.
"Part of me felt guilty for running when I did," she said.
A shy 17-year-old known then as Jolene Cosby, she kept her emotions bottled up. Instead, she poured her feelings into poems, like this:
"As she closes her eyes,
tears come and she cries,
Why is this happening?
Why is this going on?
But then she remembers,
She's got to be strong,
A lot of other things could go wrong."
She had stayed at her boyfriend's hospital bedside for two nights and that summer accompanied her wounded friends to a weeklong camp for Thurston High victims in California.
Leu had written for Thurston's Pony Express newspaper and had shown interest in pursuing journalism as a career. But the immense response from media worldwide to the school shooting changed that.
"With all the reporters there just lined up against the fence as students approached," she said, "it kind of turned me away from being a journalist."
Because of the shooting, she avoided crowded public gatherings. She did attend the annual July Fourth rodeo in Eugene that year, only to "double over" with anxiety during the fireworks display.
After graduation, she held various jobs in Springfield, at the movie theater and Dollar Tree store. She met her husband, Brian Leu, a regular customer, and they got married in July 2004.
Their daughter was due on the five-year anniversary of the Thurston shooting.
She went into the hospital on May 20. "I was having contractions" she said, "but it wasn't progressing, thankfully."
To much relief, her daughter was born May 23.
Her experience at Thurston has made her protective of her kids and less trusting of people. Her daughter is now 9, and she has a son, age 6.
For two years, her daughter has carried a cellphone to call or text her mom when she gets off the school bus on her way home. "I'm just paranoid, and want to make sure she at least gets there safely," Leu said.
Today, she has her own photography business in Springfield and is seeking a business degree at Northwest Christian University.
She still suffers anxiety at large public events. Because of the Boston Marathon bombing, Leu said she's never going to attend something like the track trials at the University of Oregon.
"You just don't know what's going to happen," she said. "I just got lucky."
Joshua Pearson: 'Focused on my future with my family'

At the end of middle school, Pearson's parents gave him a choice to attend either Springfield High, closer to their home, or Thurston High.
"I wanted to go wherever my best friend was going," Pearson recalled.
Nickolauson went to Thurston, so Pearson did, too.
The morning of the shooting, Pearson stood chatting with friends, facing the cafeteria table where Nickolauson sat with his back to the doors. Suddenly, Pearson saw a student walk into the cafeteria, firing a gun.
He thought it was a prank but instinctively kneeled down. As the shooter made it halfway into the cafeteria, Pearson saw Jake Ryker sprint to tackle gunman Kip Kinkel.
"I threw my backpack and coat off and went up to help," he recalled. "I heard someone say 'He's reaching for something.' I tried to grab the first weapon I saw."
As soon as Pearson grabbed hold of a knife, Kinkel's 9mm handgun went off. Leaning over Kinkel, Pearson felt the bullet rip through his left buttock -- "like a really strong punch."
"I didn't feel the pain that much because of the adrenaline," he said.
He kicked the gun away, then returned to the table only to find his best friend dead.
"I could tell right away," Pearson said. He said he leaned down next to Nickolauson, 17, and "said my goodbyes."
Pearson's mother was at work when she learned of the shooting and raced to the school to find out if her sons were on the list of the injured. Pearson's younger brother, Mitchell, was OK. But Josh, 17 and a junior, wasn't.
"She took it very hard," Pearson said. "She gets really emotional. A lot of it stems from the whole shooting thing. She definitely never really got over it."
Pearson said his mother routinely calls him in the middle of the night if she's upset or worried about something.
In the immediate aftermath and years that followed, Pearson struggled with the loss of his friend. At first, he slept with a picture of Nickolauson.
"I became a little detached from feeling things," Pearson said. "I don't get as emotional when death occurs around me."
He never went back inside Thurston after the last day of his senior year, though he occasionally would stop by the memorial built beside the school.
"Sometimes when I was feeling down, I'd actually sit at the memorial and talk to Mike," he said.
Pearson, now 32, has two sons from an earlier marriage and a daughter from a previous relationship. He got remarried a year ago, and now is legal guardian with his wife of her four children -- plus the daughter of his wife's cousin.
"I'm mostly focused on my future with my family, trying to get a good job and provide for them," he said.
He's completed an associate's degree at ITT Tech, now lives in Oregon City and has an internship in software engineering at Intel Corp. He's also taking classes in computer science at Portland State University.
Pearson said he shuts out the news. He knows full well the calamities life can bring. He knows how unpredictable they are.
"I don't hear a lot about most of the shootings. I tend not to pay attention to what's going on in the world," he said. "It's mostly out of avoidance, really."
But 15 years later, he can't avoid thoughts of Nickolauson -- his childhood buddy still pops into his dreams.
"I've had some flashbacks of him," Pearson said. "Every once in a while I'd see someone on the street who looks similar, and it will remind me of him."
Tabitha (Fain) Porter: 'I've never let it be a crutch'

"The next thing I remember, I was down on the ground," she recalled.
She saw a bunch of kids tackle a student.
"It didn't dawn on me what was going on," she said. The red stains on the floor, she thought, were ketchup.
One teacher tried to direct students who weren't injured to leave. Fain stood up and began to walk out when a teacher stopped her, pointing out blood on her right kneecap.
"Was it a paintball gun?" Fain asked. "A BB gun?"
No, the gun was real, she was told.
"They covered him with a sheet, but his hand, it was pale. It was really pale," she said. She asked the teacher, "Is he OK?"
"No, he told me, no."
Fain was whisked away on a stretcher. A .22-caliber bullet struck her in the buttocks and exited her leg. It came within a half-inch of her sciatic nerve.
"I didn't understand any of it," she said. Her mind was full of questions: Why did this happen? Why was I shot? What did I do?
Fain had been placed in foster care when she was 8. She said her mother was a drug addict. She never met her father. She lived with her aunt and uncle by the time she reached high school but still felt abandoned.
As a child, she recalled, "I prayed something bad would happen just so I could feel like I was loved."
After the Thurston shooting and her wounding, Fain kept thinking, "This is my fault."
She moved to Montana after her freshman year. When the shooting at Columbine High School happened in 1999, administrators at her new school pulled her out of class. "Are you OK? We're sending you home," they told her.
"Everybody thought I had PTSD," Fain said. "I didn't even know what happened."
She signed up to join the U.S. Navy after high school to help pay for college.
She almost didn't make the cut because of her leg wound and had to go through extensive tests. It hadn't healed completely; she still suffers occasional pain as sharp as a needle.
Once enlisted, she suffered a panic attack on a shooting range in Sardinia, Italy. She had to qualify firing a 9 mm handgun for a security post, her first time touching a gun after Thurston. At boot camp, they used simulators.
"I couldn't do it," she said. "I was shaking so hard. I was crying. I had to put it down. The power of the gun scared me."
Her chief petty officer sat with her and helped her work through her fear. He later stood with her on the range, helping her hold the gun. Finally, she succeeded.
Fain spent nearly four years in the Navy. She's now Tabitha Porter, 29, on her second marriage and lives in Oklahoma with a 4-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter. She works for Tyson Chicken, where she debones chickens.
She wanted to home-school her children, worried they'd face the same harm she did. But her husband told her: "We can't shield them. We can't be overbearing."
"I reluctantly agreed," she said.
When she heard about the shooting at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School, she wanted to race to her daughter's school to bring her home immediately.
"Anything can happen to anybody, anywhere," she said. "If it's going to happen, it's going to happen, no matter what safety measures there are. You can't not expect it, because it can happen."
With each mass shooting that grabs headlines, she flashes back to Thurston, remembering Nickolauson's white hand, her ambulance ride, her dazed confusion. Her friends always check in, asking if she's OK.
"The truth is, it's not something I ever let hold me back in life. I've never let it be a crutch that I needed."
She credits her faith for helping her recognize Thurston wasn't her fault.
"Even though this happened to me" she said, "God was there helping carry me through it."
Her advice for others who witness or are wounded in such carnage: "I know it's hard, but it gets better with time."
Mike Peebles: 'A catalyst to push me to help others'

He didn't believe it.
But as he entered the back hallway, he saw them. His lifeguard training kicked in.
He knelt beside Ben Walker, who was shot in the head, unconscious, lying on his stomach. Peebles rolled him to his back. He followed his "tap and shout" training.
"Hey buddy, hey buddy? Are you OK? Are you with me?" Peebles asked, feeling a faint pulse and noticing shallow breathing.
"I did two rescue breaths," Peebles said. "I was on my knees, holding Ben's head in my hands. I was back there by myself a good five to 10 minutes at the most before medics arrived, but it felt like more."
Once medics took over, Peebles ran to the cafeteria and helped where he could: lifting wounded students onto stretchers, handing bandages to paramedics.
Put to the test at Thurston, the senior recognized his ability to respond in the worst of situations. Today, Peebles, 32, serves as a sergeant in the U.S. Army, trained as a combat medic.
"The events and the shooting at Thurston definitely pushed me to become the person that I am," he said. "It was something that instilled a whole lot of confidence in me as a person and what I can do. It cemented for me what area of life I needed to be in."
After graduating from Thurston, he was a Eugene police cadet, took emergency medical technician training at Lane Community College and was a volunteer firefighter with Mohawk Valley Fire and later South Lane County Fire and Rescue.
He got married in 2004, has two children and entered the U.S. Army in 2010, seeking a more stable career. He entered basic training in April 2010 in Missouri and was deployed to Iraq by August 2011 as a combat medic and health care specialist.
He's now stationed at Honolulu's Tripler Army Medical Center.
Both his parents now work at Thurston High -- his dad, a former church pastor, does administrative work and teaches a leadership class; his mom works in the school library.
With each mass shooting in the news, Peebles can't help but travel back to Thurston in his head.
"I still remember it like it was yesterday," he said. "It's not like I relive it. It's more of, 'Wow' ... more of an empathetic feeling because I know what they're going through."
When he learned 16-year-old Walker had died, Peebles said he took it hard.
"That was a difficult thing for me. I felt like I did all that I was trained to do," he said. "Now I understand no matter what you do, sometimes there's nothing you can do to fix things."
He credits his tightknit family, core group of friends and strong faith for helping him deal with the Thurston shooting. A few days later, he and his friends took a road trip to Southern California, just to escape.
But 15 years later, he's come to recognize he can never totally escape.
"It's something that I'm not ever going to be able to undo, unfeel, unremember," Peebles said. "But I tried to take that experience and the memories from it and turn it around, to make it a positive thing.
"It's really difficult to turn someone's tragic death into a positive, and I don't want to ever make light of it. I suppose it was just a catalyst to push me to help others."

Transparent Code Authentication at the Processor Level
Durahim, Onur Ahmet and Savaş, Erkay and Sunar, Berk and Pedersen, Thomas Brochmann and Kocabaş, Övünç (2007) Transparent Code Authentication at the Processor Level. (Submitted)
We present a lightweight authentication mechanism which verifies the authenticity of code and thereby addresses the virus and malicious code problems at the hardware level eliminating the need for trusted extensions in the operating system. The technique we propose tightly integrates the authentication mechanism into the processor core. The authentication latency is hidden behind the memory access latency, thereby allowing seamless on-the-fly authentication of instructions. In addition, the proposed authentication method supports seamless encryption of code (and static data). Consequently, while providing the software users with assurance for authenticity of programs executing on their hardware, the proposed technique also protects the software manufacturers' intellectual property through encryption. The performance analysis shows that, under mild assumptions, the presented technique introduces negligible overhead for even moderate cache sizes.

(Fort Wayne Komets)
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Long before Nick Boucher stood in the crease for the Fort Wayne Komets, one of the best goalies in International Hockey League history also played in Fort Wayne.
Chuck Adamson came to the Komets in 1962, netminding for two Turner Cup Championship teams. Additionally, Adamson broke a laundry list of franchise records in his five seasons in Fort Wayne, including consecutive appearances (176), regular season appearances and single-season saves (2,268 in 1962-63) and single-game saves (72). Adamson, 73, was enshrined in the Komets Hall of Fame in 1987.
Adamson joins Tommy Schoegler to relive some of the K's greatest moments of the 1960s on Sound Off With The Komets.

Clyde McGeary has led two lives.
Well, maybe not. But the two strands of his life, one as a respected and influential arts educator/administrator and one as an artist, have each been vitally important to each other.
His work in arts-in-education has been widely acknowledged and honored, but it is only now that the very first 50-year retrospective exhibit of his paintings and sculptures is taking place, opening May 3 in Annville at Lebanon Valley College's Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery.
McGeary worked for the PA Department of Education for decades, ending up in top leadership. He is responsible for establishing the Governor's School for the Arts and Schools for Excellence, among countless other achievements. He served a long stretch on the Council on the Arts and has worked with national foundations and trusts like the Getty, Ford and Rockefeller, among many other consultancy positions. He has mentored hundreds of young artists and arts administrators.
Since childhood, inside this remarkably genial and professionally accomplished man, there has been a hard-at-work artist, painting huge canvases, mostly in oil and acrylics. He's had several studios, most recently in a log cabin in the woods of Perry County.
He's produced over 1,000 paintings and sculptures, working late into the night and at weekends, while happily married to the same woman for nearly 60 years and raising 4 children.
McGeary's work has been exhibited in Pittsburgh and Washington D.C., but here people know him principally for his work as an arts educator, he explained in a phone conversation. His painting life has been kept under wraps locally except for a few art collectors who managed to convince McGeary to show them his work out of his own house or studio.
Why has it taken so long for McGeary to exhibit here? "I felt that few people would understand or appreciate my creative work," he admitted. Although he retired 20 years ago, he's been immersed in other activities, like helping to found and support the Susquehanna Art Museum. Now at 83, the time is ripe, he thinks, for his full-time artistic self to emerge.
As early as the 1960s, he has taken as his inspiration sociological, political, mythological and religious subjects, all rooted in what he called psychomachia, which he defined as the inner mind's struggle with vice versus virtue. Hardly the barns-and-cows school of painting, he said ruefully.
For example, one of the works in the current exhibit is from the 1960s and has the title 'Immolation at Miami Beach and Hanoi, Viet Nam.' The painting draws a visual parallel between the Buddhist priests who protested during that era by setting themselves afire and vacationers sunbathing.
More recently he's been concerned with the juxtaposition of abstraction situated into the landscapes and mountains of Pennsylvania, contrasting topography with the melancholic process of erosion.
Of particular fascination for McGeary has been the history of the early settlers from the 1770s, as they travelled across the Kittatinny Mountains, between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. The settlers' travails "strike me in my heart," he said, reflected as they are in his own family's past. Concepts and feelings are suggested but not realistically portrayed in his work.
His paintings on these and other subjects have helped McGeary come to an understanding of suffering through art. That, in many ways, is the function of creativity.
Barbara McNulty, director of LVC's gallery, is one of the many artists to have been mentored by McGeary. She said that the show demonstrates the very high level of his craftsmanship and the intellectual process behind his work.
"So many people have juggled a job and a creative outlet," she said. "McGeary has persevered as an artist of depth. His work is powerful, and he tackles complex issues and themes."
Lately McGeary's been working on a series of paintings having to do with he calls Lethe, investigating the relationship between memory and forgetfulness. One of his most recent canvases, also exhibited in the show, is called 'Doubt: Illusions of Memory.'
In the excellent brochure that accompanies the show, McNulty says about this work, "the striations and compartmentalized structure of the painting actively suggest how memory and strands of thought within us might be portrayed in abstract form. The heavily applied sections of paint are reminiscent of the way the memories of life are layered one upon another and may connect by the merest thread or tendril."
This is heady stuff. I can only imagine how liberating and satisfying it must be for McGeary to talk now about the creative impulse and intellectual underpinnings of his work. He said that knowing the context of art and the artist is of paramount importance, and this show is a giant step toward an understanding of McGeary's 'other' life.
McNulty summarized it by saying, "McGeary has given so much of his time to others. This is a part of himself he has decided to share. People will be delighted by what they see."
If You Go: "Clyde McGeary: Perspectives from an Artist-Educator", May 3-June 23, Lebanon Valley College's Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery, 101 College Ave., Annville. Opening reception, 5-7 p.m., 5/9. Info: lvc.edu/gallery or 717-867-6445.

On Sept. 18, the House of Representatives passed a Republican-sponsored plan to cut $39 billion in food stamp aid to low-income families over the next 10 years. Our congressman, Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, was on board with this measure. The party claiming to be concerned with fiscal responsibility resists all efforts to tap those entities most able to make meaningful contributions to our nation's budgetary well-being. Instead it targets our most impoverished American citizens. Low hanging fruit, sparse as it is.
I find it inexplicable that Mr. Huizenga has no difficulty reconciling his participation in this shameful bill with his position as a Right to Life advocate. He cultivates his role as a strong protector of the unborn. Unfortunately, once the fetus leaves womb, the former strong protector loses interest and leaves the scene.
Strong Protector, metaphorically, becomes Deadbeat Dad. He and his Republican colleagues apparently love the concept of children more than the real life kind. Once kids arrive into the world they seem to find these demanding, energy draining, resource consuming creatures to be just too much trouble. Mr. Huizenga's party is fond of referring to the 1 in 5 children born into poverty and their families as "takers", unworthy of adequate food, shelter, quality medical care, school supplies, diapers, etc. .
If you support Mr. Huizenga's attack on the poor then, of course, you should continue to vote for him. However, if you are ashamed and offended at the representation he provides, as I am, I would submit that your private indignation will accomplish nothing. You can call, write or email him to express your disapproval. More importantly, at the next election cycle you can determine to choose a candidate more worthy of your support.

For the past 15 to 20 years, nearly every time Jim Roy stepped to the tee on Bellevue Country Club's scenic little seventh hole, a thought about unfinished business crept into his mind.
The 150-yard downhill par 3 was the only hole the golf professional had never eagled on the 18-hole championship course, where he has played since childhood.
On Aug. 15, the 53-year-old Roy finally took care of business by acing the hole with one smooth stroke. His pitching-wedge shot landed on the green's front edge and smoothly rolled the final 10 feet into the cup to complete the rare feat.
"I can't say that I thought about it every time I came to the hole over the past 15 to 20 years, but, yes, the majority of times it did come to mind," said Roy, who played one full year each on the PGA Tour (1983) and Champions Tour (2010) and is gearing up for another shot at qualifying for the senior tour in the fall. "And what's funny is that of all of the holes I had eagled at Bellevue, the one that I hadn't was one of the easiest. Most of the time, it's just a little 9-iron for me."
Roy used a pitching wedge on Aug. 15 because the pin was located in the front of the green and because he had been striping the ball well during a round with son Kevin, brother-in-law Larry Smith and friends Zach Vinal and Eric Marcinkowski.
"We were all playing pretty good through the first six holes," Roy said. "I think Kevin was 4-under and Zach and I were each a couple under. So, for whatever reason, when we got to the seventh hole I had this feeling and said, 'Someone's going to knock one in here tonight.' "
Roy's son went first, but pulled his ball into a greenside bunker. When Roy stepped to the tee, he said, "You know, this is the only hole here that I've never eagled." Seconds later, he had.
The ace was the 14th of his career and sixth at Bellevue. The rest of the par 4s and 5s at the old Donald Ross design had been eagled by Roy by the time he had reached his early 20s. He said the next-to-last hole he had eagled was the par-3 13th.
Now that he has eagled every hole at Bellevue, Roy, who is now offering golf lessons at the club, was asked what his next goal could be?
"Well, I've never had a double eagle, so I guess I'm going to have to somehow knock a second shot in on a par 5," he said.
Ace helps Jim Roy complete rare eagle feat at Bellevue Country Club
For the past 15 to 20 years, nearly every time Jim Roy stepped to the tee on Bellevue Country Club's scenic little seventh hole, a thought about unfinished business crept into his mind.

A man who was caught on surveillance video stealing plants from the entrance of at least two Slidell-area subdivisions last month has been issued a summons for two counts of misdemeanor theft, according to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's office detectives questioned the man, identified as George W. Franck III, 47, Wednesday (April 9) and he allegedly confessed to taking the plants.
The plants, boxwood shrubs and annuals, were taken from the landscaped entrance of The Moorings and another subdivision in Oak Harbor near Slidell, authorities said.
The sheriff's office said surveillance video captured Franck, who lives on Melody Lane in Slidell, pulling up to the entrance signs of the neighborhoods on two separate days in March. He removed several plants at each entrance and placed them in the bed of his truck.
Franck's Melody Lane address is not in Oak Harbor.
The homeowner's associations of both subdivisions called the sheriff's office about the thefts. Authorities released video of the incident in The Moorings on Tuesday (April 8).
Detectives said they are in the process of getting the stolen plants back.

|[TowerTalk] Quad Element Tuning
|firstname.lastname@example.com (alsopb)
|Sat, 08 Sep 2001 22:05:15 +0000
Also had problems with adding 12m quad to a 10-15-17-20M 4 element GEM quad. These four bands coexisted very well even with a single feedline. Looked at it in AO and the patterns on all four bands were reasonable. The model did show a degredation in F/B ratio relative to a single band antenna. It didn't drop below 15db which was fine with me. Front/side ratio was also less but still reasonable. The forward gain seemed unaffected-- except on 10m where there was approximately 1db loss in gain. The azimuthal pattern was wider and appeared to be smeared (two headed) due to contributions from the 20M elements. These calculations on 10M were a bit suspect because of the limited number of pulses allowed. The spreading of the pattern could have been due to not having enough segments to numerically converge out a numerical harmonic from the answer. Anyhow, direct A/B comparisons of the 4 el quad on 10 (approx 20' boom on 10M) consistently outperforms a 3el 12' boom antenna at the same height on another tower. That was good enough for me. When I tried adding just a 2 element 12M quad, things went completely to pot on 10M. Measured impedance on 10 went wild. Attempting to resonate the 12m quad was a failure. Reducing driven element length significantly didn't alter the resonant point hardly at all! It seemed clear that feeding the 10 and 12 driven elements at the same time just was a bad idea. Was not able to model the five bands in AO because of too few segments. Finally gave up and built a separate 2 el quad and put it on another tower with a TV rotor. I'm not saying it can't be done. I did help a fellow put up a 2 el 5 band lightning bolt quad up. It used a single feedline and appeared to work. Perhaps there are some unique dimensions which make it look acceptable from an SWR standpoint. It would be interesting to model the lightning bolt quad to find out how the patterns look. 73 de Brian/K3KO Maurizio Panicara wrote: > > Place a 12m director in front of the 10m driven and see what happens using > your modeling software, or roughly check how the 12m director lenght > converge to a 10m reflector using the typical formulas. > > 73, > Mauri I4JMY > > > This 12/10M interference is a puzzling concept. > > List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless handles Rohn tower systems, > Trylon Titan towers, coax, hardline and more.

Rodgers says shoulder is improving
Still doesn't know when he'll return
Injured Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he never gives up hope on playing, though he's not sure exactly when he will be back on the field.
Rodgers said Tuesday on his radio show on 540-AM ESPN that he's doing everything he can to return from the fractured left collarbone suffered a week earlier in a 27-20 loss to the Bears. He said he's giving the bone time to heal, and that Tuesday was the best he had felt since getting hurt.
Seneca Wallace started for Green Bay in the 27-13 loss Sunday to the Eagles, but was knocked out after one series with a sore groin.
Third-stringer Scott Tolzien played well given the circumstances in relief. Coach Mike McCarthy has already pronounced Tolzien the starter against the Giants on Sunday.

12th UN Inter-Agency Round Table on C4D started in New Delhi
The 12th UN Inter-Agency Round Table on Communication for Development welcomed around 100 participants engaged in designing and implementing communication for development projects through UN agencies, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations. Bilateral and private sector donors and representatives of the Government of India were also present.
The biennial meeting is guided by the overall theme, The Role of Communication for Development in Empowering Adolescent Girls. Several background papers have been produced to guide six parallel sessions aiming to frame the context of adolescent girls and engage their participation in good practice, and discuss how to tackle outstanding challenges.
The UN Resident Coordinator, Patrice Coeur-Bizot, emphasized that communication for development has acquired new significance and meaning during the preparations of the current United Nations Development Framework in which the UN India Country Team has been closely engaged.
"The role of Communication for Development is not only, or even mostly, about the production of materials to disseminate information," said Karin Hulshof, UNICEF Representative in India, in an opening statement. "It is about understanding social norms that guide individual behaviours, analysing this, engaging stakeholders and developing strategies."
"Our joint efforts to integrate communication for development in UN development assistance planning frameworks have shown encouraging signs in the Philippines, Tanzania and Uruguay," said Iskra Panevska, Director a.i. of UNESCO's New Delhi Office. "Academic institutions in countries as far apart as Ecuador and Uganda have demonstrated their ability to facilitate consultations and engage civil society in a dialogue that may increase communication for development capacity. It is our hope that such UN inter-agency efforts will multiply and subsequently come to scale," she added.
UNICEF's senior representative Rina Gill underlined that communication for development accommodates a variety of methods, approaches, tools and communication channels that create new opportunities. "As the communications landscape gets denser, more complex and more participatory, the networked population is gaining greater access to information, more opportunities to engage in public speech and an enhanced ability to undertake collective action," she quoted.
The round table is the only gathering of its kind to facilitate UN Inter-Agency collaboration on communication for development. In the days to come, the round table will share experience, promote good practice and exchange knowledge from diverse perspectives and partners. UN internal discussions and debates on 16 and 17 November will culminate with a review of proposed recommendations and next steps for follow up action.

West Texas A&M University's commitment to the success and retention of its first year mathematic students is being recognized.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board presented the University with a prestigious Star Award during a special ceremony on Thursday in Austin.
Star Awards are given annually in recognition of exceptional contributions to the THECB's Closing the Gaps by 2015 initiative, which has four established goals: to close the gaps in participation, success, excellence and research.
West Texas A&M received a Star Award for its Gateway Project. It's a project that involves a collaboration between developmental math, college algebra, the Math Lab and the Virtual Math Lab. The project involves faculty, graduate assistants, teaching assistants and Math Lab student workers working together to improve the student experience in gateway first-year mathematics courses and increase the number of students successfully completing developmental mathematics and college algebra.
The Gateway Project began in 2008 and has seen huge numbers of success. Since it's start up, the project has increased the pass rate in beginning algebra by 16 percent, intermediate by six percent and college algebra by 12 percent.
"The Star Award is an important recognition of the hard work that our faculty have put into helping students in our mathematics courses succeed," Dr. Nick Flynn, head of the Department of Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.
"We are all very proud of this recognition by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board."
West Texas A&M University was one of eight finalists chosen from more than 50 Star-Award nominees statewide.

MORRISTOWN — A former detective in the Morris County Prosecutor's Office is suing to get her job back after being fired last week from her $93,743-a-year position.
Marly Arturo was terminated for coming to work late on Jan. 7, leaving early and being "untruthful" about it, according to prosecutor's records filed with the lawsuit in Superior Court in Morristown.
Arturo's lawsuit seeks a court hearing that would reinstate her to her old job, with back pay. She was terminated following a hearing held by the prosecutor's office in early July.
On Jan. 7, Arturo was scheduled to work a 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. shift, but she showed up for work at 2:45, left at 6:45 and was "untruthful" when questioned about it, according to the prosecutor's statement of the case. Arturo had been "counseled" in October for leaving work early without authorization, according to the statement.
Arturo's attorney, James Patuto, did not deny that she violated rules, but questioned the harshness of the punishment. He said she should be given some form of "progressive discipline" that would not result in her career ending, according to court documents.
But First Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Zelante, who was the hearing officer, concluded she should be terminated.
Arturo "demonstrated untruthfulness … both before and after the Internal Affairs report," Zelante said. "The need for honesty and truthfulness is essential for a law enforcement agency to insure the public's trust and confidence in that agency."
Citing guidelines circulated by the state Attorney General's Office, Zelante concluded that the credibility of the prosecutor's office "would be severely damaged if Arturo remained in her present position."

ADA – Despite playing in cold, sub-par weather for golf, West Catholic senior Sam Weatherhead still shot a sub-par round at Egypt Valley Country Club on Wednesday, while Forest Hills Northern remained the hottest team in the O-K Bronze Conference.
Weatherhead, the reigning Division 3 individual state champion, shot a 3-under par score of 33 on The Ridge Course at Egypt Valley.
Forest Hills Northern, meanwhile, finished first for the third time in as many O-K Bronze Conference meets. The Huskies also won the O-K Bronze Conference pre-season tournament and finished first at Monday's jamboree, which was also played at Egypt Valley.
The Huskies shot a team total of 156 to win Wednesday's jamboree by six strokes over runner-up West Catholic (162). Forest Hills Eastern was third at 164 and Northview was fourth at 174.
"It's been a good start for the guys," FHN coach Brian Telzerow said. "We've just been playing fairways and greens and trying to get fundamentally better. Because of the weather, the ball is not rolling real well right now, but we've played really well out of the gates."
Weatherhead's round in cold and blustery playing conditions consisted of three birdies and six pars. He shot a 39 at Egypt Valley on Monday.
"At least we had blue skies, and that was a good thing," Weatherhead said. "I'm fine, as long as it's not snowing or raining.
"The weather was actually better on Monday, and I was playing in shorts. I had 17 putts on Monday, but today I made quite a few putts from 10 feet and in. When you can make those kind of putts, it usually leads to a good round."
Weatherhead, who was named Michigan's "Mr. Golf" for 2012 and has signed to play collegiate golf at Michigan State University, was not the only player under par on Wednesday. Forest Hills Northern freshman Spencer Schab shot a 1-under 35.
"Spencer was a good player coming in," Telzerow said. "He was highly ranked in his age group, and we knew what we had when he first teed it up for us."
The Huskies also received a pair of 38s from Drew Pennington and Charlie Baele and a pair of 45s from Phil Lodzinski and Brad Reitter. The Huskies' top-eight includes two freshmen, three sophomores, a junior and two seniors.
"We have a young group, led by our senior captain Drew Pennington," Telzerow said. "We have a very young team.
"There is as much competition among the eight players on the varsity as there is in matches we play. They all want to play well and love the game."
West Catholic, which finished fifth in the preseason tournament and third on Monday, continued to show improvement as a team with Wednesday's second-place finish to Northern. Kennedy Ryan shot a 42 for the Falcons, while Anthony Martzoff added a 43 and Tom Quan a 44.
"Forest Hills Northern has been firing on all cylinders, but we have a lot of potential once we get in some rounds and more practice outside," Weatherhead said.
Devon Reinenger led Forest Hills Eastern with a 38, while Zach Robbins added a 40, Austin Whitsett a 41 and Jake Austin and Grant Akemann both shot 45s.
Jack Koperski shot a 40, Carl Patrick a 41 and Jake Skorobot a 44 to lead Northview. Cedar Springs, led by Robert Klein's 44, finished sixth at 190.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) The Department of Education (ED) is planning to revise the way it evaluates student loan servicers that manage payment of direct student loans.
Also See: Student Loan Re-fi Bill? Wait Till Next (Fiscal) Year, At Least
In a letter to Rep. John Kline, (R-Minn.) chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee, Thomas Skelly, ED's acting chief financial officer, outlined a plan to standardize performance benchmarks for the four main servicers and some smaller ones. The department is also re-examining how it pays its servicers. Compensation is reviewed when servicer contracts come up for renewal.
A joint House and Senate Conference Committee directed ED to ensure consistent application of new performance metrics and a timeline for their implementation. The Conference Committee wants to minimize the problem of moving multiple servicers to one set of metrics and reduce the impact of these changes on borrowers.
Also See: Student Loan Servicers Blow Off Senate Meeting on Title IV ED Funds
ED is continuing to work with the Consumer Financial Protection on scrutinizing and regulating servicers. A CFPB source said the federal consumer watchdog would not comment on Department of Education's plans because of ED's contractual relationship with the servicers.Revising servicer evaluation is one thing; giving borrowers a fair shake is something else. Servicer critics say that the Department isn't doing enough to oversee servicers who aren't cutting busted borrowers enough slack. James Runcie, chief operating officer of the federal student loan office, defended ED and the status quo in testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee last month.
Many borrowers would like to vote with their feetand have the option of dumping their servicer. Some say that letting borrowers switch servicers might solve one set of problems while creating others.
