Their romance is heating up!
New couple Taylor Swift and One Direction's Harry Styles stepped out at New York's Crosby Hotel on Thursday night to celebrate a friend's birthday – and get in a little PDA of their own.
Joined by Dianna Agron, Emma Stone and about a dozen guests, Swift, 22, dressed demurely in black, and Styles, 18, watched as a cake was served and helped to sing along to "Happy Birthday" at the hotel's Crosby Bar.
"Taylor and Harry [were] being very smoochie," a source at the party told PEOPLE. "They definitely [looked] like a couple."
According to the source, Swift (who is up for three Grammys) and Styles held hands and he seemed "really protective of her" and kept his arm around her during the party.
They shared plenty of kisses, too, and didn't seem to mind if anyone saw. Says the source: "They're not trying to hide it. The bar was packed."
Their outing marks a string of get-togethers in New York City over the past week.
On Sunday they visited the Central Park Zoo together. And on Monday, Swift attended a Madison Square Garden show afterparty at the Hudson Hotel for Styles' band, One Direction, where the couple joined for a karaoke duet of a Backstreet Boys song. Swift later sang a One Direction tune, before the couple returned to her hotel around 4 a.m.

Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...
Researchers have identified seven blood biomarkers that appear to help predict the risk of a patient's melanoma metastasizing. The Yale Cancer Center and Yale University School of Medicine team found elevated levels of one or more of the proteins CEACAM, ICAM-1, osteopontin, MIA, GDF-15, TIMP-1, or S100B in the vast majority of patients with metastatic disease.
Conversely, none of the biomarkers were elevated in over three-quarters of patients with early-stage disease. The researchers, led by Harriet Kluger, M.D., associate professor of medicine at the School of Medicine, suggest a panel of these biomarkers could be used to monitor patients for disease recurrence and potentially compliment currently used lactate dehydrogenase and imaging studies. Their results are published in Clinical Cancer Research in a paper titled "Plasma Markers for Identifying Patients with Metastatic Melanoma."
Melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in men and the seventh in women, and the risk of death rises from 10% to 80% dependent on the stage of the disease, the authors write. However, there are currently no reliable methods for predicting which patients within a particular staging group will relapse and if they do, when, or who will remain disease-free.
Current monitoring methods include physical examinations, blood tests, and imaging studies, but there is no clear consensus regarding selection and timing of laboratory and imaging studies when following patients with resected melanoma. Serum LDH is the only blood-based biomarker in clinical use for melanoma monitoring, and elevated serum LDH levels do sometimes correlate with metastatic relapse. "However, the sensitivity and specificity for LDH as a predictor of metastatic relapse is low," the authors state.
Studies have suggested that levels of other blood-based markers are associated with melanoma disease burden and/or prognosis. These include VEF-R3, serum S100B, and secretory CSE1L/CAS. To try and verify a link between plasma protein concentrations and melanoma relapse risk, the researchers carried out ELISA assays to measure proteins in the plasma of 216 individuals including 108 metastatic melanoma patients and 108 age- and gender-matched patients with resected stage I/II disease.
The cohort was divided into training and test cohorts. Plasma from healthy donors, defined as individuals who had no diagnosis of cancer, and matched by age and gender to the two melanoma cohorts, was also assayed to determine biologically normal values for the plasma markers.
The markers evaluated were chosen based on gene-expression data and literature searches for candidates that have a known association with cancer. Of these, CEACAM, ICAM-1, OPN, MIA, GDF-15, TIMP-1, and S100B were selected for further analysis.
In fact, none of the individual markers was enough to distinguish the resected stage I/II patients from the unresected stage IV patients, so the researchers assessed the distribution of positive markers in their training and test sets. In the training set, 70% of patients with stage IV disease had elevations in at least one marker. In the test set this figure was 78%. Conversely, among patients with resected stage I/II disease in the training set, 76% of patients had no marker elevation, while 81% of resected stage I/II patients in the test set had no marker elevation.
The authors claim that if elevated levels of at least one marker is considered a positive result for abnormality, then the assay is 74–79% sensitive, 79% specific, and has a positive and negative predictive rate of 78% and 75%, respectively. If high levels of 2 or more markers are considered positive for abnormality, then the assay has a sensitivity of 57.4% specificity, of 94.4% sensitivity, and has positive and negative predictive rates of 89% and 70%, respectively.
Area under the curve for the melanoma panel was 0.898, which suggests the seven biomarker melanoma assay compares favourably in terms of reliability, with other clinically used cancer assays such as those employed for breast cancer, the researchers state. While they stress that prospective validation of their findings will need to be carried out, the panel could represent a useful predictive tool.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published study that assesses these biomarkers in combination," the researchers note. "Particularly when used in combination, these markers can be used to monitor patients for disease recurrence and might be useful for complimenting surveillance imaging for resected stage I to III patients or increasing the interval between imaging studies, particularly in high-risk stage IIC and III patients."

This is a view of Southfork Ranch, on the set of the television drama "Dallas."
Last summer, Drew Weininger worked on the movie set of "Olympus Has Fallen."
About two years ago, the television drama "Dallas" went into production as a continuation of the original series that ran from 1978-91. A few of the original stars, including Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy and Larry Hagman, returned to the show along with many new faces to portray the next generation of the Ewings and their rivals.
Andrew Weininger, a graduate of Mohawk High School, was hired as a production assistant for the show. Since then, he has been promoted to graphic designer for the show and plans to return this fall to work on 15 episodes for its third season on TNT.
During the summer filming break, Weininger is staying at his parents' home in McCutchenville.
Fact Box
Weininger freelances for special effects company
By MaryAnn Kromer
Staff Writer
Since leaving Ohio, Andrew Weininger has taken his artistic talents all over the world. While working on a project in Germany, he was surprised to field questions about "Dallas" from German fans of the television show.
Until "Dallas" filming resumes, Weininger is staying in the Tiffin area and doing freelance work online for a special effects company in California.
"They do a lot of work for Lockheed Martin and animation work for defense contractors, as well as some TV shows. They're very science-based and I'm fascinated by science, quantum physics and astronomy. A lot of animation they do is conceptualizing black holes and quantum physics. They kind of put that into a visual form for leading science and aerodynamic companies and defense contractors," Weininger said.
In addition, Weininger is researching and writing his first full-length movie script. He believes a filmmaker needs to have good skills with a computer and a camera and a good sense of story. To get started, he made "a handful" of short films to enter in film festivals and online. He said he knows of one festival that only features videos made on cell phones.
"That's the good thing about film festivals. You don't have to be Steven Spielberg. You can be from Tiffin, Ohio, and still make something people will appreciate," Weininger said.
Technology has simplified the research component of making films, but he still prefers writing ideas and facts with pen and paper. The idea for his feature film turned up while doing research for a documentary on the Osage Indian tribe of Oklahoma.
"I was in a museum out there full of Native American artifacts, the most beautiful Native American artifacts I'd ever seen, and amongst all these taxidermy animals and head dresses and oil paintings was this airplane." Weininger said.
His curiosity about the aircraft and its pilot turned up "story after story" leading up to a climactic event. Weininger won't divulge many details, but he said the main character grew up in Colorado. Weininger has been working on the project for more than a year whenever he has time.
"It's called 'Barnstormer,' and it's about a 1927 stunt pilot. It's a completely true story. It's one of those unbelievable stories, so I've been spending a lot of time researching the character who he is and what he did with his career. He was a stunt pilot. He fought in both world wars. He did amazing things in an airplane. I like it because it's the history of aviation and its 'golden age' of the 1920s," Weininger said. "I'm hoping to write it and then pull on all my connections that I've made over the years and see what happens."

"I love coming back to Tiffin because it's kind of slow-paced and relaxing. Working on the TV show of 'Dallas,' and working in the city of Dallas, it's very fast-paced," Weininger said.
He spoke about the origins of his interest in art and the paths he took to land on the "Dallas" crew. Weininger said he learned all he could from his art teachers at Mohawk, Mrs. Parker and Harry Melroy. After school, he would take his drawings to show to Melroy.
"I've always been a creative person. When I was in church, I was drawing on the bulletins, and when I was in school, I was drawing on my homework. I was always drawing. I loved art class. I always wanted to get into art, but I never knew what you could do with it," Weininger said.
He adopted a philosophy of working hard to "be better than the next guy" and started as a business major at Bluffton College. One day, a recruiter for Kaman's Art Shoppes set up a booth on campus. That company provides artists to do caricatures at Cedar Point in Sandusky.
Recalling "all those years of doodling," he decided to get more information and try out for a position with Kaman's. They hired him and offered him a job doing portraits; however, he was more interested in drawing caricatures at Cedar Point.
"It just looked more fun. The job paid well and helped me get through college. I met a handful of extremely talented artists. Some of the most fun times we had was when it would rain. The guests would flock to our booth because we had awnings overhead. We'd challenge the guests to games of Pictionary. ... We never lost," Weininger recalled.
The work also took him to parks in other locations. Weininger said he "put a lot of smiles on peoples' faces," but not all customers were pleased with their caricatures. The artist had his work torn up and tossed on the ground a few times. He also was slapped and showered with beer.
On the plus side, celebrities occasionally would turn up at the parks.
"Halle Berry had her caricature drawn at our booth. I remember her foot was in a cast, and she was as nice as could be. Jay Leno also filmed a skit for his show at our booth in San Diego. I met a handful of athletes such as Terry Bradshaw, and got to draw some of the royal family of Saudi Arabia. Their bodyguards where the most intimidating people I've ever met. All in all, it was a great job," Weininger said. "After working there a few summers I felt like I could draw just about anything in a matter of minutes or seconds. I didn't know it then, but that is one of the most valuable skill-sets I've ever learned."
After two years at Bluffton, Weininger transferred to Bowling Green State University as a fine arts major. He explored the many options of a career in art, became proficient on the computer and learned the business side of the field. His undergraduate degree was in computer animation.
Once he landed his first job, everything seemed to fall into place.
For about 10 years he was employed in industrial design with a company that created "retail environments" for companies such as J.C. Penny, Nike, Wal-Mart and Home Depot.
Although Weininger enjoyed the work, he wanted to get into a more creative industry.
For awhile, he owned a photography business.
Then he decided to enroll in graduate school in film and video production at the University of Texas in Arlington. Weininger lived in Fort Worth, which is adjacent to Dallas in northern Texas. Driving down the highway, Weininger often saw people on horseback riding along the road.
The artist is not fond of the Texas heat, but he loves the barbecue and Mexican cuisine.
"Texas is an interesting place. I never know how to describe it to people," Weininger said. "It's cowboys and rodeo, barbecue and Wrangler jeans. It's its own unique place."
The graduate courses at UT plunged Weininger into film making. When representatives of "Dallas" approached the school looking for students to help out on the show, he interviewed. He didn't get the job initially, but about two weeks later, he was offered - and accepted - a production assistant position.
At first, there was some discussion about where to do the filming.
The original "Dallas" was filmed in Los Angeles, but head writer and executive producer Cynthia Cidre wanted to keep the show in Dallas and use local crew members. The art department for "Dallas" includes about 10 people, and Weininger was able to work his way up in the union-based system. Just this summer, he was accepted into the union.
"What you realize quickly is that there are many departments on a movie, and my department is the art department. We do everything from build the sets to decorating the sets. I help facilitate all of that," he said.
The production designer draws plans for the set construction department and a list of props that will be needed. Weininger said he often helps to find or make props. Every accurate detail makes the show more realistic and research is essential for determining those details.
As an example, Weininger said the set for a police station might require several wanted posters for the walls and art for the computer screens. Last summer, he worked on the set of the film, "Olympus Has Fallen." Although the story is set in Washington, D.C., it could not be filmed there.
"We had to recreate Washington, D.C., in Shreveport, La. We researched the White House thoroughly. We had blueprints of the White House ... and recreated the whole North Portico," Weininger said.
At the outset, Weininger was awed by being at Southfork Ranch with high-profile stars. Despite visions of actors who can be difficult to work with, Weininger found all of the "Dallas" cast to be friendly and down to earth, even bringing brownies for the crew on occasion.
During production, cast and crew typically work side by side for 12- to 14-hour days, five days a week.
"You eat on-set. They cater in all this food. I haven't been to a grocery store in about a year. It's not uncommon to sit down and eat and then Patrick Duffy will sit down right beside you. It just becomes the norm after awhile." Weininger said.
He said he found Linda Gray to be especially friendly.
Southfork Ranch has a gift center that attracts about 300,000 tourists every year, from all over the world. Weininger said one day he was standing in the shop with Gray in front of an over-sized portrait of her on the wall when a tourist group came in and saw her.
"They just flocked to her, and she was so nice and talked with them and signed autographs. These actors don't have to do that ... but ours seem to really enjoy that." Weininger said. "Hobnobbing with the actors is a lot of fun. When I first met Larry Hagman, I kept thinking 'Oh my God. This is Larry Hagman.'"
Weininger discovered Hagman was "very green," traveling in a solar-powered Airstream motor home. Inside, the actor had the lamp from his years on the comedy "I Dream of Jeannie." That role from earlier in his career was a stark contrast to his dramatic portrayal of oil magnate J.R. Ewing.
"I think it shows how good an actor he is because JR is such a ruthless, scheming, devious character, but I never saw a hint of that," Weininger said. "I actually got to spend a little bit of time with him before he passed away, and he was a really impressive character. He was very funny in real life and very kind, extremely personable."
Hagman died of myeloid leukemia Nov. 23, 2012, in Dallas. His character's demise had to be written into the show's script.
In an online interview, Cidre explained she was able to patch together footage and voice tracks from other episodes to orchestrate the events leading to the death of J.R.
Losing Hagman was a blow for fans and everyone connected with "Dallas," but Weininger said the cast and crew are hoping to continue the series as long as possible, in the tradition of its first run.
"I went to a memorial service they had for him in Dallas. His family members talked, and by the time they were done, there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Obviously, Larry Hagman lived a full life. ... and he was obviously well-loved by his family. They told stories that were real tear-jerkers."
Early in the summer, Weininger and other crew members "rounded up a bunch" of the cast for a paintball party as a kind of "bon voyage" to the season.
"We all ... had a great time," Weininger said. "They're just normal people like everybody else. They like to go out and have fun. Their job just happens to be in front of the camera instead of behind it."

Three community groups are considering a merger to allow better service to the community.
Talks on a potential merger were announced Tuesday by STEP Inc., which already had agreed to partner with the Community Alliance for Progressive Positive Action (CAPPA), but also will bring into the fold the Campbell Street Family, Youth and Community Association, which was asked late last year to vacate its home at The Center on Campbell Street.
"We're very excited about it. We think it's a tremendous opportunity, not only for the organizations, but for the community as well," said Terry E. Roller, STEP president and CEO.

Samir Edwards, a past member of The Center's after-school program, plays pool in October 2009 in the gymnasium of Curtin Middle School. The Center, CAPPA and STEP Inc. are mulling a merger.
Although a merger isn't imminent, a potential step toward one will take place by the end of the week as STEP is set to become CAPPA's fiscal agent.
"That's one ... big step forward when looking at this process (of merging)," said Rachelle Abbott, STEP director of planning.
Loni Gamble, CAPPA founder and executive director, said the partnership with STEP will allow his organization to focus more on programming and less on fundraising.
"Having a team like STEP as a partner in this merger is a win-win for all of us," he said. "It will give me the opportunity to concentrate on programs and not have to concentrate on so many other things."
Gamble said talks about a possible merger began about six months ago. Roller said soon after speaking with CAPPA, STEP reached out to The Center as well.
Moving forward with a potential merger will take time. Roller said STEP has begun working with the other two organizations to look at services, programs, history, branding and finances to work toward a partnership.
He expects after reviewing options, a decision could be made by the end of the calendar year.
STEP has remained in close contact with CAPPA and The Center's board of directors throughout the process.
John Kiernan, board member for The Center, said the discussions are about making the community stronger, as it "benefits and enriches" it.
"I think it's a natural, organic development," he said. "It's a continuation of the legacy. It looks to me like a win-win-win."
Roller added that all three organizations would be strengthened by partnering together. While STEP brings a stable infrastructure and organizational leadership, CAPPA and The Center bring diversity.
The merger also would make the organizations financially efficient. Gamble said it's easier to work together.
"In this state of economy, it's always smarter to pool the resources together," he said.
Roller said there are more grant opportunities toward which STEP may assist CAPPA and The Center.
"By bringing the three organizations together, it makes it much more cost efficient," he said.
And although STEP is in discussions with The Center on a possible merger, it does not mean it would look to buy its former facility at 600 Campbell St. The Lycoming Housing Authority, which owns the property, informed the association that its former home would be sold in late 2012. The group since has temporarily relocated to Trinity Episcopal Church, 844 W. Fourth St.
Roller said he is more interested in strengthening programming, but STEP could look at the building "down the road." He also anticipates CAPPA will remain at its current location, 734 W. Fourth St.
The merger isn't only about sustaining services but about growing.
Roller said it will "open doors to bring more resources, and not just sustain what's going on but growing it as well."
Kiernan called the potential move a "renaissance."
Gamble said stronger services should be the goal with the merger.
"We're excited," he said. "After 10 years this is where we need to be now. It makes it better. It creates the programs we offer stronger."

Giving Politics A Good Name

There's a hit new movie this spring, "42," the story of how in 1947 Jack Roosevelt Robinson made baseball history and American history by breaking the color barrier to become a Brooklyn Dodger and......
Major: Stop painting things as though all of Amurka were these racists until one man "broke the barrier". That never came out of my mouth. Maybe you should study because a lot of people boycotted the games when Mr. Robinson began playing. Others came just to heckle him. There is no denying that if the owners truly didn't want the barrier broken, it wouldn't have been broken. But it is the action of those people who cause the change. It takes courage to go where you're not wanted and will mostly likely face danger. The risk is own those who take the step, not those that allow it to happen. So those that take the step are the ones lauded.

Spring Football Completes Week Three
Ball State's Joel Godett looks inside the players who were injured and are using spring football to work their way back on the field.
"A lot of people do not realize how few football practices we really get," Ball State head coach Pete Lembo says. "You only get 15 spring practices and 29 preseason practices before you play a minimum of 12 games. If you are a player who missed some games to injury the previous year, you are ready to get back out there in the spring."
The Cardinals will practice Tuesday and Wednesday before completing Spring Practice with the annual Spring Game Sat., April 19 at 2 p.m. at Scheumann Stadium.

Training For Open Water
Open water swimming can be a bit of a shock to the system if you're not fully ready, whatever your swimming ability. But we've got ways to help you prepare.
You don't have to be in the open water to train for open water. There are lots of ways to prepare for open water swimming using your local pool.
Improve your stroke technique
When swimming a long distance you need to be comfortable with your stroke. The majority of open water competitors swim front crawl so make sure yours is in good shape.
- Our dedicated Masters hub can help you improve your front crawl. Check it out here.
- Try counting the number of strokes it takes to complete a length in the pool then reduce your stroke count while maintaining a similar speed.
- Have a 'back up' stroke, such as breaststroke to swim slowly with if you need to recover.
Get used to the distance
Most mass participation events are at least 1km - that's 40 lengths of a 25m pool - so you need to be confident you can go the distance.
- Ensure you can comfortably swim further than your open water distance in the pool - without putting your feet down!
- Take distance challenges in our MySwimfit zone. Build up to your distance
Practice open water techniques
With your front crawl up to speed and your endurance rising, try perfecting open water swimming tricks to really give you the edge in the open water. Head to MySwimfit's Open Water section for tips on:
- Sighting - there are no lane lines and ropes in open water. Practice swimming in a line using a distant marker.
- Deep water starts - there's no wall to hold on to or kick off in open water so get used to starting from treading water.
- Turning - Very few open water swims are a completely straight line from start to finish.
- Breathing both ways - Breathing on alternative sides is recommended for pool swimming anyway, but in open water events it may become a necessity.
- Group swimming - open water swims are pack events. Get used to swimming with friends.
MySwimfit Open Water Training Plan
Looking for more structure? Then use MySwimfit's Open Water training plan for beginners. There're plans for strength, endurance, speed, recovery and technique.
Also, look up your local pool on our Pool Finder and search for pools offering Swimfit. They should be able to offer you lessons to help you prepare for taking the plunge.

World Milksharing Week
World Milksharing Week runs from September 24 - 31, 2014. Snugabell is committed to spreading awareness about the importance of milksharing when a mother's own milk is not available. We've asked a few bloggers to tell their story of how giving or receiving breastmilk affected their breastfeeding journeys.
Spokesmama received breastmilk formally through BC Women's Milk Bank and informally from family and friends.
Borrowed Boobs used Human Milk for Human Babies and Eats on Feets to fill her freezer with donor milk.
Katy received donated breastmilk for her first nursling and is now donating breastmilk because she has too much milk for her second nursling.
Crunchy Carpets used donor milk from BC Women's Milk Bank to feed her daughter.
Mama in the City donated her extra milk to a friend.
Hillary with two Ls donated her oversupply to BC Women's Milk Bank.
Have you donated or received donor breastmilk? What is your experience with milksharing?
Snugabell is celebrating World Milksharing Week by offering 15% off PumpEase hands-free pumping bras using code GIVEMILK on snugabell.com, amazon.com, and amazon.ca. We're also giving away a few goodies so make sure to enter below:

Lindsay Lohan, laughing it up with pals at West Hollywood lounge Winston's. The actress stuck to drinking her beverage of choice: water.
Jamie Foxx, holding court at the head of the table while having lunch with friends at The Ivy in Los Angeles. The Dreamgirls star – who was dressed in a stark white button-down shirt – wasn't the most jovial companion: He wore his sunglasses and sat with his arms crossed. After having a salad and sharing some dishes, he drove off in his black Hummer. Also at The Ivy: tennis star Maria Sharapova, whose lunch of grilled shrimp and lobster ravioli in a cream sauce was interrupted by fans at the next table who were snapping pictures of her.
Winona Ryder, trying to charge some purchases at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills – but having her credit card declined. The embarrassed actress explained to the sales associate that her new New York City address could be the reason why her card wasn't working.

Now, it won't work at all, because the move has been officially declared a balk.
The move has been in the works since the new collective bargaining agreement was signed and last May, Major League Baseball's Playing Rules Committee approved the proposal. MLB executives and the umpires union were in agreement, although the player's association - pardon the pun - balked at the plan.
Two weeks ago, the owners approved the rule change, putting it into effect. The last CBA did allow for the rule change, but only after at least a one-year wait to make the change.
It's thought that one of the intents in approving the rule is to help speed up the game. Many times, a pitcher would use the move simply to give himself more time to think about how he wanted to approach a hitter or to give a relief pitcher a little more time to warm up.
Former pitcher Jeff Nelson told the New York Times, "I think now, the runner at first might get a bit of an advantage. All it's used for is to keep the runner at first close. I might have done it 100 times and gotten two guys on it."

I don't see how.....sounds like a good move to me.
March 1, 2013, 05:18 PM
No mess up at all. Only thing better than Redding is Dillon. So your on your way. Enjoy it.
March 1, 2013, 05:22 PM
thank you was only thing I could find in stock but now hearing bad things on the redding #2 scale
Magnum Shooter
March 1, 2013, 05:27 PM
I dont think you will be disappointed at all. Enjoy.
March 1, 2013, 06:46 PM
Redding makes good stuff.
March 1, 2013, 06:49 PM
They have a good reputation and should have no problems.
March 1, 2013, 06:59 PM
im hoping so
March 1, 2013, 07:04 PM
You are good to go. Redding is very high quality...it will last a lifetime.
March 1, 2013, 07:07 PM
I was a Diehard RCBS Guy, bought a Redding T-7 Turret Press, then bought another one :).
Good stuff.
Just my .02,
March 1, 2013, 07:29 PM
I own redding presses and dies all are excellent. Don't know about the scale. Don't buy thier 2400 trimmer that was a $170.00 major disappointment. If you need info or have questions just call them excellent service except for the timmer.
March 1, 2013, 07:38 PM
They're a little more $$ but tend to be worth it. I recently picked up one of their powder measures and it's excellent.
March 1, 2013, 07:50 PM
should the big boss resize 30-06 and 270 ok
March 1, 2013, 08:02 PM
Yes, teh Redding will do 30-06 without issue.
It is what I have for a single stage.
Good press.
Redding dies are my dies of choice with RCBS a close second.
Enjoy your new press.
March 1, 2013, 08:04 PM
I also ordered a set of 30-06 Redding dies with it
March 1, 2013, 10:49 PM
No, you did not mess up, you made a good choice. Just get ready for a lifetime of service from them.:) Lightman
March 1, 2013, 10:55 PM
Redding presses are high end, and pricey.
It will last several lifetimes.
March 1, 2013, 10:58 PM
You only messed up if you don't already have your primers, powder and boolits!:neener:
March 1, 2013, 11:52 PM
does anyone know anything about thier scales on reviews good and bad
March 1, 2013, 11:56 PM
Beam scale? It will last as long as the press. It is as good as any other two poise scale.
You have bought some of the best stuff money can buy. I don't think you'll have to worry about any of it.
March 1, 2013, 11:59 PM
yes GT1 its the # 2 beam scale
March 2, 2013, 12:10 AM
I have a Big Boss II. It's a solid press. U can't go wrong with a Redding single stage. The T-7 is the best turret on the market. It's a tank..! I highly recommend a T-7 down the road.
March 2, 2013, 12:36 AM
First Class...enjoy!
March 2, 2013, 12:40 AM
You're ahead of a lot of other folks, you've got one ordered ! Hope it shows up soon, you'll be in tall cotton then, others not so lucky.
March 2, 2013, 02:41 AM
Redding makes my favorite dies. Haven't used too much of their other gear.
Sounds like you got fun times ahead of you cranking out ammo. :)
March 2, 2013, 07:52 AM
I have the Redding #2 scale. I love mine, much easier to use than the Lee that came with my kit. Also have a Redding Die. Good quality stuff.
March 2, 2013, 08:14 AM
"did I mess up buying Redding"
Yeah. It'll probably fall apart after 50 cartridges.
Arkansas Paul
March 2, 2013, 09:13 AM
Yeah, total junk. Sorry to break it to you. ;)
Order you some equipment from Smart Reloader if you really want quality. :D
Lost Sheep
March 2, 2013, 01:21 PM
ordered a big boss kit today
You only messed up if the kit does not suit your needs.
Redding is not the bargain that Lee is (though both are quality, the Redding is smoother and stronger) It's like a fine Porterhouse vs a good hamburger steak. (Lee's detractors will also point out that Lee makes some scrapple, too, but I am not talking about the Reloader press, but the Classic Cast).
Without knowing your shooting/reloading needs all we can tell you is that Redding is top-notch and you got a good press. Whether it is good for you is unknowable without:
What calibers will you be reloading?
What quantities will you be reloading for those calibers?
How much time will you be willing to devote to those quantities
What is your budget?
Will you be putting your gear away after each session or leave it set up permanently?
How much space will you devote permanently to a loading area, if any?
Do you want it to be portable?
What are your shooting goals? Cheap ammo? Ultimate long-range accuracy? Casual plinking, Serious competition - what kind? Cowboy Action Shooting? Strictly hunting?
In the meantime, welcome to reloading and congratulations of a fine kit.

March 2, 2013, 02:59 PM
I love my T-7. You did just finr with Redding
March 2, 2013, 03:41 PM
"Did I make a mistake buying a Rolls Royce (Redding)?" GOOD HEAVENS NO!! You WOULD have made a mistake if you bought a K-car/Yugo or Corvair (Lee)! Not having tried a Lee Cast Classic anything, yet, so I can't say about them, but I have owned or tried just about every other thing Lee ever made, so I can have an INFORMED opinion about them.
Yes, I know, an INFORMED opinion!! How often does THAT happen?! Not only here, but ANYWHERE on the net?! Of course for every "My Cast Classic is great", you can find a "My cast classic is a piece of junk!", and that includes the "Lee only" sites as well as other reloading sites. What you DON"T see is "my Redding/Dillon/Forster is junk"! Oh I'm sure some whiner will jump in here and say they had a junk Dillon/Redding/Forster whatever, but then there are some who seem to follow me around to attack me no matter what I say. If I disagree with them I'm an a-hole, if I agree with them I'm an a-hole and if I ignore them I'm an a-hole. Amazingly enough, NONE of them seems to want to talk about FACTS, just slander me and call me names, simply because they have no facts to argue with what I say.
March 2, 2013, 03:48 PM
You really need to step back and maybe take a break from the reloading sites, you act like you're letting it get to you. They're just reloading presses.
Nightmares of being chased by a Loadmaster on a Lee tripod stand?
Or, maybe the Lee fans really are out to get you.:scrutiny:
March 2, 2013, 06:54 PM
thinking I may try to load some Sierra pro hunters to start anyone have any thoughts on them
March 2, 2013, 07:04 PM
Legion... wow. Switch to decaf man.
March 7, 2013, 07:40 PM
got it today am pleased with it it has a tighter fit than my rockchucker has is this normal but its extremely well made
March 8, 2013, 05:36 AM
I bought the T7 as my first press 2 months ago along with their trimmer, powder measure, scale and dies. So I am certainly no expert on the subject . I have deprimed and resized over 1,000 .223 cases and reloaded over 400 .380 rds at this time. I really like this setup.
Service from Redding is excellent too. I stuck a .223 case, and in the removal process I lost the decapping pin. I emailed customer service about a replacement pin. They sent me 6 pins and a complete decapping rod assembly all at no cost to me. A Redding customer of life here.
March 8, 2013, 11:44 AM
I use a Redding Ultra-Mag press for sizing. It's a monster and it makes the job very easy. Seems to be very good quality.
GW Staar
March 8, 2013, 12:16 PM

Nothing a little grease and some use won't cure.
March 8, 2013, 12:26 PM
Redding makes some excellent equipment, so far the only redding product I have found that is junk is the flash hole deburring tool, it went straight to the circular file.
I have CH, Pacific, RCBS, Lee, Lyman, Herters, Hollywood, Bonanza, Forster, and Wilson dies, and of all the dies you can still currently buy, the redding dies are hands down the best for a standard press. Smooth, least runout, repeatable, and long lasting with top notch warranty and service. They aren't cheap though!
March 8, 2013, 02:47 PM
Redding makes the best screw in dies to be had IMHO. I love my scale and powder measure. But the case trimmer was sub par and the boss press new was as loose as a $5.00 dollar honey on hay street.(yes I was in the 82 abn div at Ft Bragg) Gave them away and replaced them with a Rock Chucker and a LE Wilson trimmer with Starret mic. Both work as advertised money well spent. JMHO.

Well, that didn't take long -- earlier today, Intel made its
I/O technology official and Apple
launched new MacBook Pros that support the 10Gbps interface. Now, LaCie has
its "Little Big Disk" which supports Thunderbolt.
LaCie has been working with Thunderbolt for the past year,
and showcased a storage prototype with 700MB/sec transfer speeds (all while
daisy-chained between a computer and monitor) at IDF 2010. Now, the production
Little Big Disk is ready to go and supports two channels with 10Gb/sec of data
flowing both ways per channel (all within a single cable).
"Thunderbolt technology is a breakthrough in I/O
technology and represents the future of mobile computing. Soon you will be able
to carry workstation-class power and functionality in compact devices,"
said Philippe Spruch, Chairman and General Manager, LaCie. "LaCie is
excited to be one of the first to deliver Thunderbolt technology with the LaCie
Little Big Disk."
The Little Big Disk weighs in a svelte 1.5 pounds and comes
equipped with two 250GB Intel 510 Series solid state drives (which haven't even
been officially announced yet).
to VR Zone, the Intel 510 Series
SSDs have maximum read speeds of 470MB/sec and maximum writes of 315MB/sec.
Interestingly, the SSDs are still built in 34nm NAND flash technology. The drives
will be available in 120GB ($280) and 250GB ($580) capacities when they are
officially launched on March 1.
As for LaCie's Little Big Disk, it will be available later
this summer at an undisclosed price.
quote: You may now collect that $50 dollar check from apple marketing. But as usual you don't know what you are talking about."The new MacBook Pros are a huge speed bump and the top models beat even recent MacPros."The top model you could get is a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7. The mac pros could be configured as 8 core since 2007 (yeah those did not have hyperthreading, but they also ran at 3ghz). Against the recent 6-12 cores forget it.
quote: The performance of the new MacBook Pros is amazing. The slowest MacBook Pro performs on par with the fastest previous-generation MacBook Pro, and the fastest MacBook Pro is 80% faster than the fastest previous-generation MacBook Pro.??In fact, if you look at our Mac Benchmark charts, you'll see that the fastest MacBook Pro is faster than a lot of Mac Pros (including the current generation of Mac Pros). The new MacBook Pros truly are portable workstations.
quote: Thunderbolt will probably never surpass the spread of even firewire 800... and how many devices do you know of that use that currently? Not that many!
quote: It was Jobs that called it spectacular. Meanwhile apple admitted to firing a bunch of people from the final cut team at one point. Quite a few of the editors I know have already jumped ship to avid, and some are even thinking of switching to premiere.
quote: According our very own people familiar with the matter, a small group of video editors were on the Apple campus recently in order to preview the new version of video editing software, which is in the same space as Avid and Adobe Premiere. Apparently Apple is still putting the finishing touches on "the biggest overhaul to Final Cut Pro since the original version was created over 10 years ago" and wanted pro user feedback. Emphasis on "pro."One source described the new release as encompassing everything from low level architectural changes to a complete redesign of the user interface. It's safe to say the newest version will be 64 bit as that's what users have clamored the most for.Early reports from people who have demo'd the new Final Cut Pro (FCP 8?) say that the changes are "dramatic and ambitious" and should alleviate concerns that Apple has shifted its video editing focus from the professional to the consumer space, shutting down work on FCP . Apple plans on releasing the new product in Spring 2011 according to our source, in a launch possibly coinciding with the National Association of Broadcasters conference.
quote: "Ever noticed how many pros (pro photographers, film editors and directors, pro graphic designers, journalists, professors) use a Mac? Ever wondered why?"I wonder this every day. A lot are just old fogeys that haven't touched windows since 3.1 and have no clue that in many cases the Adobe Creative suite works better on a PC. (In fact photoshop became 64 bit on the PC one version before the mac). Some are locked into the mac platform because of shady deals. (After apple bought logic, all logic users had to switch to mac). For others it's compatibility (until everyone switches to opentype fonts you can't use mac fonts on a PC). Mainly it's just arrogance and cluelessness.
quote: If that was true then the world's biggest production companies, ILM, Weta Digital, Digital Domain etc. Would be predominantly Mac based. Even Pixar isn't, and Jobs is the head of pixar. What does that tell you?

A towering, phallic tube of pink lipstick rising from the stage of Shea's Performing Arts Center attracted plenty of quizzical glances from theatergoers shuffling to their seats before the opening of "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" on Tuesday night.
It was only the first sign that this touring production, a sequin-spangled, glitter-caked, wigged-out adaptation of the 1994 cult Australian film would venture into unfamiliar and slightly uncomfortable territory for Shea's reputedly conservative season ticket holders.
That supposed reputation, broadcast to the nation last year by Shea's President and CEO Anthony Conte in a New York Times article by Patrick Healy, has always seemed to me a little bit exaggerated. And judging by the audience's absolute rapture at the spectacle-heavy, dance-driven drag extravaganza that is "Priscilla," their stunned silence at an anti-gay slur repeated in the show and their uncommonly spring-loaded standing ovation at the end, it seems clear enough to me that this much-ballyhooed conservatism is a fading fiction. (And may it finally die a true death in June, when Shea's hosts the gloriously offensive "Book of Mormon," which remains the hottest ticket on Broadway.)
As for "Priscilla," this stage adaptation is successful in replicating the patent absurdity, unlikely emotional weight and footlong eyelashes of the film in all its consciously preachy glory. That's surely attributable to the involvement of co-writer Stephan Elliott, who also wrote and directed the film, along with Allan Scott. And also because it employed the incalculable talents of the film's costume designers, Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner. The more than 500 camptastic outfits they have created – dresses cobbled together from found flip-flops or made to resemble frosted cupcakes to towering, and Technicolor wigs of every imaginable shape – have been promoted ad nauseam as the key reason to see the show.
And though all the crazed couture is indeed drool-inducing for any fan of the drag arts, the true colors of this musical lie in its good-hearted book and in the powerhouse performances of its three central cast members.
The show tells the story of three friends who set out in a rickety bus nicknamed Priscilla to cross the Australian Outback on their way to a gig at a casino. It starts when drag performer Tick (Wade McCollum) gets a call from his wife inviting him to perform on the other side of the continent and, incidentally, to meet with the young son he has never seen (played on opening night by Shane Davis, who trades off in the role with Will B.). Tick enlists the help of Bernadette (Scott Willis), a pioneering drag star and transsexual, and the young, impetuous and Madonna-obsessed Adam (Bryan West), and they join him on the journey.
Along the way, they encounter a series of rough-and-tumble rural characters whose notions of acceptable human behavior date from the Paleolithic age.
The messages of the show – about acceptance, about self-expression, about finding love – find their voice in over-the-top productions of various drag favorites, from "Material Girl" to "I Will Survive." If some of the songs seem only obliquely related to the story or to those messages, anyone who's ever been to a drag show will know that even the thinnest storyline will do.
The organizers of this tour have struck gold, casting-wise. As Tick, who goes by Mitzi in drag, McCollum's sweetness, enthusiasm and nervousness about meeting his son are all credible. And his performance of "MacArthur Park," prompted by Bernadette's having left an actual cake out in the actual rain, is a boisterous and uninhibited few minutes of senseless joy that is one of the highlights of the show.
Willis, as the cool, collected Bernadette, gets most of the best lines – "Listen here, you mullet," he says to one particularly cantankerous local, before going on to pronounce an unprintable insult – and delivers them with just the right combination of venom and good humor. His recitation of an old drag performer's ode to her art – "the straining of the neck, the vibrato of the Adam's apple, the quivering of the bottom lip" – is lovely. As is his performance of "A Fine Romance."
Fine performances also come from the show's trio of backup singers, who often float down like sassy, extraterrestrial jellyfish from the rafters to deliver spot-on R&B harmonies in ever-more elaborate costumes. The Divas, as they are known, are Emily Afton, Bre Jackson and Brit West. They're joined by a extraordinary ensemble, many of whom seem to have been chosen as much for their triple-threat talents as their anatomical gifts.
For a few theatergoers, the subject matter of "Priscilla" might seem for the first three seconds or so to be somewhat unorthodox. But if you're anything like the supposedly "conservative" audience at Shea's on Tuesday night that could not contain its enthusiasm at every last lip-synced word, you'll hardly even begin to care.

GOP's gains in the W.Va. House examined
December 31, 2012
CHARLESTON — A national GOP group and a Manhattan hedge fund manager helped fuel the party's election gains in West Virginia's House of Delegates, contributing to a $500,000 deluge in last-minute ad......
Buying WV votes with lies and broken promises, the GOP way. So they brought in from NYC and Washington DC big money Pacts. They bought and paid for fake tv ads, distorted the truth and now are destroying our STATE! Who are these people? Not West Virginians, not local town representatives, so who are they and why are they in our State? To control the State, break the unions, keep the education level down so the wages we are getting paid never go up. We are being used as modern day slaves and the republicans are lock step right with the outsiders. They are not here to help, they are here to take advantage of our suffering, low desperate wages, low education, hard working under represented folks. They are not going to help at all, just drink our blood and steal our minerals. They blow us up in mines that violate safety regulations, then lower wages to pay for the upgrades to prevent the explosions. Not profits, but wages! That is the republican way, DONT BE FOOLED! EDUCATE YOURSELF!

ELBA – Three women were injured, one seriously, after a two-car crash on Route 98 in the Genesee County town of Elba about 8:05 p.m. Saturday. Jessica A. Deskins, 16, was listed in stable condition in the intensive care unit of Erie County Medical Center this morning.
She was a front-seat passenger in a car driven by Ashley N. Deskins, 18, of Hall Road, Holley. Deskins was released after treatment in ECMC. The other driver, Gina A. Delelys, 41, of Log City Road, Elba, was released after treatment in United Memorial Medical Center, Batavia.
Genesee County Sheriff's Deputy Kevin R. McCarthy reported that Deskins' southbound car was traveling too fast for the snowy road conditions and crossed the center line into the path of Delelys' northbound auto. Delelys said this morning that the impact was on the passenger side of Deskins' car, a 2000 Dodge Neon.
McCarthy reported that Deskins' car ran off the road into a field after impact, while Deleys' car remained on the pavement. No charges have been filed.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Investors remained cool to Dendreon following slightly improved but still weak first quarter results announced yesterday the market close. Sales of the company's sole marketed product, the prostate cancer immunotherapy Provenge, continued a steady but slow climb.
Dendreon finished Q1 with a net loss of $103.9 million, or 70 cents per share, compared with a loss of $112.8 million, or 78 cents per share, in last year's first quarter. Total revenue leaped to $82 million from $27 million during Q1 2011, almost entirely reflecting Provenge sales.
During Q1, Dendreon said, it boosted use of Provenge in large, community oncology, and urology practices as well as added 128 infusion sites, for a total of 723 sites. However, Dendreon also reported a 31% year-over-year increase in operating expenses, to $172.6 million.
The costs of producing Provenge are about 70% percent of sales, a percentage Dendreon is working to lower to about 50% and eventually between 20% and 30% once it fully takes advantage of automation, CFO Greg Schiffman told analysts on the quarterly conference call yesterday. He also said the number of customer accounts that treated at least one patient with Provenge rose in Q1 by 84, to a total 572, compared with 119 in Q1 2011.
Leerink Swann downgraded its rating of Dendreon to "market perform" from "outperform" this morning. In a statement, analyst Howard Liang noted that Provenge's Q1 sales of $82 million (up $5 million from Q4 2011) finished above Leerink Swann's estimate of $79.9 million and the $81.2 million estimate by a consensus of analysts. However, Dendreon's second-quarter guidance for increased Q2 sales of Provenge is only in the low-single-digit range, which amounts to an increase of less than $4 million by Liang's estimate.
"Given the current trajectory of two consecutive quarters of sequential growth that appears less than $5 million, we find upside from our current valuation of $13 difficult to justify, as by our math it would require acceleration of sequential growth to approximately twice the current rate, in the $8 million range through 2015, " Liang explained.
More concerning, he added, was the "more realistic" possibility that Dendreon would show no further growth or even negative growth once two hormonal agents in clinical trials received eventual approvals, Johnson & Johnson's Zytiga and Medivation's MDV3100 . That may happen even though Zytiga has failed to show statistically significant overall survival; its approval "may not be straightforward," he said.
"While we believe Provenge can co-exist with Zytiga and MDV3100, the arrival of the new hormonal agents could pose an acute challenge for growth of Provenge, at least in the short term," Liang stated. Dendreon's growth is currently projected at $6 million quarter-over-quarter, reflecting a lack of impact from Zytiga.
Citi analyst Yaron Weber, M.D., also pointed to the prospect of increased competition for Provenge from Zytiga and other new treatments in a note to investors cited by the Associated Press. Dr. Weber added, however, that Provenge sales came in slightly above analyst expectations. Nevertheless, Dr. Weber wrote, "We continue to be concerned with the risk/reward of the stock and believe the only upside comes from potential acquisition."
The numbers analysts and investors will watch in coming quarters will be sales growth and sales costs. "The very modest quarter on quarter sales growth that they posted this quarter and that they've guided to next quarter is starting to wear a little bit thin," Cowen and Co. analyst Eric Schmidt told Reuters. "My guess is low single-digit growth for Q2 may end up being a little bit conservative, but that's not the kind of growth that's going to wow anyone," Schmidt said, adding that "they really need to do a better job of controlling costs on the current sales level."

Many of us know the phrase, "Time is muscle," referring to the need to treat heart attack patients and restore blood flow to the heart muscle as soon as possible. But have you heard the phrase, "Time is brain," which refers to the urgency of medical attention for strokes? Since the late 1990s, doctors have been able to treat patients who experience strokes due to blood clots (ischemic stroke) with the clot-dissolving drug t-PA, which can limit and even reverse damage to the brain. But the window that t-PA can be given is only 4½ hours after onset of stroke symptoms. And even within that window, the faster stroke patients receive the drug, the better they are likely to fare, according to growing medical research. "We know that the best way to treat strokes is by treating them as quickly as possible," says Trident Health neurologist Dr. Julio Rentas. "The patient should be in the emergency room as quickly as possible." Dr. Rentas will discuss this need for speed during the Healthy Conversations talk "Act F.A.S.T. for Stroke Prevention," on Friday, May, 2, from noon to 1 p.m., at Trident Medical Center, Café A. (Lunch will be provided. Call 843-797-FIND to register.) The talk is being held in May as part of National Stroke Awareness Month. You can remember what to look for and do with the following "Act F.A.S.T." checklist promoted by Trident Health and the American Stroke Association: Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one drift downward? Speech difficulty: Is speech slurred or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence and note if it's repeated correctly. Time to call 9-1-1 if the person shows any of these symptoms, even if they go away. Yet, someone may be having a stroke without showing those specific signs. "There are so many other symptoms we need to be aware of," Dr. Rentas says. These include: Sudden numbness or weakness of the leg, arm or face. Sudden confusion or trouble understanding Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination Sudden severe headache with no known cause It's best to call 9-1-1 when someone has stroke symptoms because EMS can do an evaluation in the field and get the patient to a facility that can start treatment quickly. Both Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center have earned The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval as Advanced Primary Stroke Centers. With an alert from EMS, the hospital's stroke treatment team can prepare for the patient's arrival. Before t-PA can be given, the team will do a CAT scan to rule out the possibility that the patient is suffering a hemorrhaging stroke rather than one caused by a blood clot. The team will also check the patient's blood sugar levels to make sure they aren't unusually low, which can cause symptoms similar to those caused by stroke. "This testing takes time, though, making it even more important to get patients to the hospital quickly," Dr. Rentas says.

HERSHEY - Altoona's T.J. Brandt - the school's all-time winningest wrestler and a four-time qualifier for the PIAA Class AAA Championships - is one win away from earning that elusive first medal.
Brandt advanced to the 138-pound quarterfinals with a 4-0 win over Dallastown junior Wes Hoover on Thursday at the Giant Center.
"I think he wrestled well," Altoona coach Joel Gilbert said. "A shutout down here is great."
The only other area wrestler of the six that made the trip that's still alive in the consolations is Altoona 285-pounder Austin Rosenberry, who was pinned by Kiski Area's unbeaten Shane Kuhn in 1:46 in the prelims, but he bounced back with a 7-3 win over William Tennant's Andrew Van Buskirk in the consys.
Altoona sophomore 132-pounder D.J. Hollingshead went 0-2 and was eliminated from the tournament, as did senior 195-pound teammate Mante Barnes, Philipsburg-Osceola senior 170-pounder Jay Prentice and Hollidaysburg senior 285-pounder Matt Barton. All four were wrestling in their first state tournament.
Hollingshead lost to Easton's Robbie Rizzolino, 2-1, in the prelims and to Middletown's Bryce Killian, 5-0, in his consy bout. Barnes dropped a 5-1 decision to Governor Mifflin's Jan Johnson, and then he lost a 4-2 overtime heartbreaker to Delaware Valley's Matt Wagner.
Prentice was pinned by Central Bucks South's unbeaten Dominic Rigous in 2:49 before dropping a 3-2 decision to Nazareth's Nicolino Sevi. Barton was pinned by Solanco's Bo Spiller in 1:05, and then he was eliminated by Franklin Regional's Luke Fleck, 6-1.
Brandt, wrestling on the same mat that Hollingshead wrestled his first bout on, scored a takedown in the first period and earned two nearfall points in the second off of a low-leg cradle. He was close to getting a couple more back points at the end of the second.
Brandt (30-3) was unable to escape from the gangly Hoover's leg ride in the third period, but the Mountain Lion was able to move on.
"That's one of the tougher positions in wrestling to get out of with legs," Gilbert said. "We knew he was very good with them. We kind of hesitated to go down or not there, but when you're up 4-0, you have confidence that he's not going to get turned underneath. So, that's why we decided to put him down in the third period."
Brandt will face North Allegheny's Jesse Rogers (37-5) in the quarters, which are scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Rogers advanced with an 8-1 win over Tyler Seislove.
"It will be a good bout for us," Gilbert said. "I think he's pumped up, focused and ready to go for tomorrow's bout."
Rosenberry (27-6) came out with a big move in his second bout, hip-tossing Van Buskirk to his back in the first period, nearly getting a pin ahead of the buzzer. He added a couple escapes to advance to the second round of consys, where he'll get the loser of Central Tech's Northwest Regional champion Andrew Welton and Hempfield's Southcentral champ Joey Goodhart.
"He was physical out there," Gilbert said. "He wrestled really tough, and he went after the kid. That's what you have to do down here at this tournament. He almost pinned the kid in the first period. The kid really didn't try anything the whole bout to beat him. Tomorrow he's got an opportunity to place."
Hollingshead (34-6) gave up a first-period takedown to Rizzolino (37-3) , and that was all the Easton senior could muster. Hollingshead rode him the entire second period, but he couldn't get a third-period takedown. Killian (35-6) scored four points in the first period with a takedown and two nearfall points.
"I think some early first-period jitters got to him and he got ridden out," Gilbert said of Hollingshead's first bout. "I t hink he gave a seasoned veteran from Easton all he could handle for a first-round match. I think that kid came off with a lot of respect for D.J. I think you'll see him in the next two years be a contender down here. He got a lot of experience."
In his consy bout, Barnes (29-9) just missed getting takedowns at the end of regulation and at the end of overtime. Barnes escaped in the first tiebreaker, but Wagner took him down with 2 seconds left to go up 3-2. Wagner escaped in the second tiebreaker, and Barnes was unable to get the takedown.
"His goal was to place down here, and he was very close," Gilbert said. "To lose in overtime in the rideout situation is tough. I have a lot of respect for that kid. He started [wrestling] in ninth grade, and to get down here is a huge accomplishment."
Prentice (29-7), an all-state goalkeeper in soccer, kept coming at Sevi (28-9), as is his style, but it wasn't enough. The difference was a third-period takedown off of an ankle pick.
"It's going to be a big loss for the program to replace that kid," P-O coach Tim McCamley said. "He did his best here. We could have had that [second loss]. The first one was sort out of our league."
Barton and Fleck went scoreless in the first period, but Fleck (23-4) escaped in the second, and his takedown in the period was followed by a couple back points. Barton, the outstanding football player and wrestler, finished with a 27-6 record.
"I think nerves played a factor in the outcome of the first one," Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore said. "He battled in the second, and he was a little more focused. The kid from Franklin Regional is pretty good. Matt wrestled with a little more fire against him.
"He had an outstanding wrestling career. He came out of his senior season as a district champion, and he had an outstanding regional tournament. He's a great kid, and his futre is bright."

Police said a man attempted to rob an Xtra Mart Mobil in Hampton Thursday, while the power was down due to high winds.
The convenience store was closed for business when the robber confronted the lone clerk in the doorway. The robber claimed to have a gun, and demanded the clerk open the store's safe.
The clerk was unable to open the electronic safe because of the power outage, and the robber fled on foot. He was last seen running toward Route 1.
The suspect was described as a male, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, wearing a black mask and dark clothing.
Hampton police were assisting with an investigation into an assault and possible attempted robbery in Hampton Falls an hour prior to the incident.

Despite the recent revelation that Elizabeth Vargas returned to rehab this week to battle alcohol addiction, a source says the ABC News anchor, 51, and singer-songwriter husband Marc Cohn parted ways months before this relapse.
"They agreed to split last winter and it's very amicable," the source says of the couple's pending divorce. On Wednesday, PEOPLE exclusively revealed that the couple separated after 12 years of marriage.
Last November, Vargas publicly addressed her addiction for the first time. This week Cohn, 55, expressed his well wishes, saying in an exclusive statement, "On behalf of Elizabeth's family, we are in total support of her recovery and want her to be well."
Vargas has said she regrets letting her family (including sons Zachary, 11, and Samuel, 8) down with this most recent setback. With their relationship behind them, she and Cohn are now focused on parenting. "Both parties are devoted parents," says the source, "and are committed to putting the boys first."

North Korea Cloaked in Darkness
One of the most stunning—and revealing—photos ever taken of North Korea was a 2002 satellite image of the peninsula at night, shown by U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in a Pentagon briefing.
The photo showed the lights of South Korean conurbations, and even large clusters of fishing boats, in stark contrast to an almost entirely black North Korea. Other than a small spot of light in the showcase capital Pyongyang and the outline of the country, North Korea wouldn't have been visible at all.
"South Korea is filled with lights and energy and vitality and a booming economy; North Korea is dark. It is a tragedy what's being done in that country," Mr. Rumsfeld said.
Fast forward to 2014, and North Korea remains cloaked in blackness. In a new photo released by NASA on Monday and dated Jan. 30, the contrast between the bright lights across South Korea and a few dim spots in the North is, if anything, more pronounced. That may be because of the better resolution picture but it shows more light across South Korea, particularly in rural areas.
Pyongyang is still visible, along with a few faint spots in other cities like Wonsan on the east coast, but very little else.
"The darkened land appears as if it were a patch of water joining the Yellow Sea to the Sea of Japan. Its capital city, Pyongyang, appears like a small island, despite a population of 3.26 million (as of 2008)," NASA said in a statement issued with the photo.
"These differences are illustrated in per capita power consumption in the two countries, with South Korea at 10,162 kilowatt hours and North Korea at 739 kilowatt hours," it says.
Under current leader Kim Jong Un, North Korea has been touting progress in urban construction and large-scale development projects like a ski resort, but its power supply remains highly unreliable, with regular blackouts.
Pyongyang says economic progress is one of its main policy goals. but without major reforms that would likely threaten the grip of its regime, it's hard to see the next satellite photo showing a much different scene.
