i would like to know what i would need to reload pistol calibers, being .30 carbine, and .40 s&w. possibly .44 mags and .38/.357 too. what do i need to crank out 20 to 30 bullets an hour? and what would the total cost be for everything including the first primers, powder, bullets, and brass? any help is much appreciated, thanks...btw, this is my first time reloading, obviously...

Approximate prices . . . from what I see in shops.
Press: $25 up. You can get a Lee "hand press" that is not mounted but sits in your lap for cheap. Single stage press runs maybe $75. You can shop for used presses in pawn shops and the newspapers, gun shows. But you should read up or find someone who can show you what's what. You probably want to start with a single stage. The RCBS RS5 is a single stage that can be coverted to a multi stage. The press is $80. The Conversion is $250.
Dies for each caliber: $35 You want carbide. Saves money and time in not lubricating brass. Tougher, but more expensive.
Powder scale: $50 Lots of variation in this. Digital or mechanical balance beam. You can use "powder scoops" but they're inconsistent and practically worthless.
Powder measure: $60 RCBS Uniflow is a good one. It's possible to measure each load on a scale, but your load rate will slow to 15 per hour. With a measure you can turn out 60 per hour, more accurate, less hassle.
Verneer caliper: $50 Stainless steel. There are plastic calipers, but this is a precision tool. Precision tools are made of hardened stainless. For revolver ammo, it's possible to load without a caliper. Semi-auto calibers require a caliper for specs.
Primer tool: $30 Lots of variation here too. Some presses have a tool built in. Lee makes a plastic tool. RCBS makes a press that is machine steel and solid at about $40.
Brass tumbler: $80 Possible to use chemical cleaners or even just wash the brass in ammonia and detergent. But to clean and polish you need a tumbler.
Odds and ends: $50 - $100 Primer cup brushes, funnels, shell holders for the press/dies, racks for brass (you can use the plastic rack from boxes of commercial ammo), data books, ammo boxes, note books . . .
That's the hardware more or less, now supplies--
Brass: Expensive component. You can use "range pickups." Probably the best source of brass is commercially loaded ammo. Bulk brass is for precision loads and target shooting. 500 cases runs maybe $25 - $50 depending on caliber.
Powder: $12 - $20 per pound. Thousands of pistol loads in a pound of powder. You can probably load several calibers with one kind of powder, but you'll eventually want several kinds so you can experiment.
Primers: $3 a box of 100. Cheaper by the case in most instances.
Bullets: Expensive too. Bulk lead runs $25 per box of 500, more or less. Jacketed runs $20 per hundred depending on caliber/weight. Pays to buy in large lots, like 500 or 1000.
I loaded for a while on a desk top and kept all my gear in a large suitcase. But a shop bench with some shelves makes the whole process a LOT more organized. I have presses mounted on a 2 X 12 which clamps to the shop bench and stows away when not in use. Most of the time it's set up . . .
Setting up can be time consuming.
Initial investment can be expensive, but getting started in one or two calibers will help economize on dies, components. Lead bullet revolver ammo is easiest to begin loading.
Head to the library and check out a few books. Try to find someone in the flesh who can show you the ropes. A dealer can be a good source of help. Most dealers want to get you well set up because they'll reap the profits of selling you supplies later. It's the ol' "sell 'em a gun cheap and make money supplying them with ammo" strategy.
Reloading equipment is precision tools and expensive. But like a gun, it lasts forever if cared for. It's wise to INVEST for the long term rather than buy cheap gear.
Look for components that you can upgrade. A single stage press that converts to a multi-stage is one expample. You can start measuring charges with a scale and a spoon, then buy a powder measure later.
One last word:
Lead bullets are toxic. Powder is explosive. Reloading is safe IF you follow procedures (like not eating and working, washing your hands after handling ammo so you don't poison yourself). You can't smoke and reload. (Duh!) It's not something you do while watching television or babysitting, or partying with a group.
If you like working with tools and producing a precision product, reloading can be interesting and rewarding. If you're reloading to save money, it's a whole lot cheaper and easier to buy surplus and generic ammo.
It's possible to start reloading one caliber at a very slow pace . . . 20 rds an hour. But reloading at that pace can be really tedious. Once you have your equipment invested, it's possible to load several hundred rounds in a session, breaking the process into steps like cleaning and sizing cases. Then priming later. Then charging and seating bullets in a final session.
Now that I have space, the bench is full of "buckets" of components in different calibers and different stages of reloading.

Frank, Jack answered you question mcuh better than I could have, but there is one thing I want to pass on to you. As Jack said equipment is expensive but try looking on line at these places and you can save lots of money, and in my experience the equipment is as good as you will get in any other type of transaction. I have been buying on E-bay for over a year now and have always been satisifed. http://www.ebang.com/ http://www.ebay.com/ http://www.gunbroker.com/ http://www.auctionarms.com/

Try the Lee turret press kit with auto index. I think they go for around $70 for the whole kit. FM reloading is cheaper than Midway. I'll have to find the number.

IMO, if you want a single stage, stick with a proven press like the RCBS Rock Crusher, even if you graduate to a progressive, you'll find uses for the single stage. For a progressive, I'd stick to proven models, the Dillon 550 is hard to beat, and the Hornady is another quality progressive press in that price range. I don't recommend the Dillon SDB, since it doesn't use standard dies, and won't do rifle calibers.

I know most of the folks here swear by the dillon, but I continue to make high quality loads on my Lee Hand Press (referred to above somewhere). You have almost gotten a reloading manual's worth of info here ... but DON'T FORGET TO BUY A DECENT MANUAL! Sorry ... there are just too many ways to get unsafe if you don't do your homework first. OK ... with that out of the way, I have recently learned that LEE Precision sells factory blemished (mechanically perfect) presses and carbide dies for about 40% off of their list prices and they charge $1.75 for shipping. They also have a discount coupon at the end of their manual for getting a first time reloader set up. It seems like they let you make one order for whatever you want for about 50% to 60% off. I think they send you seconds when they can, but it is a really easy way to get into it for very little cash up front. Admit it guys ... an extra single stage press is always handy ... even when it is a lowly LEE
Good Luck,
Have Fun,
Be Safe

Hello Modest Frank.
May I echo the advice of "saands" and enlarge a bit? Get a couple of manuals, and the Gun Digest book on reloading. It will tell you about different presses and types of presses and the prices, more or less. You can get a good idea of what you want that way.
Another thought is to make some friends at the local range and ask them. Shooters are a neighborly bunch and might show you their set ups. Don't be too pushy, shooters can be a bit paranoid, too.
Feel free to contact me directly. What part of the world do you occupy?

SCOTLAND new boy Chris Fusaro refused to dine out on his Calcutta Cup call-up after admitting he felt sick to the pit of his stomach.
The Glasgow back-row has won a surprise shout to face England at Murrayfield tomorrow night after skipper Kelly Brown carried the can for last weekend's Dublin debacle.
Fusaro, 24, is one of three changes made by head coach Scott Johnson for the Six Nations crunch as the Scots bid to bounce back from that 28-6 drubbing.
The Aussie has turned to Fusaro at No.7 just four months after telling him he wasn't good enough for the autumn tests.
Johnson handed the Fifer a list of areas in which he needed to improve before he could be promoted to the senior squad and now insists he deserves his place on merit.
But Johnson came close to admitting he has few other options available after Brown's drop in form as there is such a dearth of in-depth talent in the Scottish game, although John Barclay and Ross Rennie were also on his radar.
Fusaro praised the reaction of Brown after he was axed – and revealed a call to sit with Johnson at breakfast on Wednesday left him struggling to keep down his cornflakes.
He said: "I got up to get more food when Gav Scott, the team manager, called me over and said Scott wanted to speak with me.
"He told me I would be starting, that I was to play to my strengths and I was shocked – it came as a massive surprise.
"I didn't go back for more food. That's one of my things, I'm always sick before games, I get a bit nervous. It's part of my routine, throwing up before games.
"I couldn't eat but then I had to start focusing on the game. I saw Kelly at training half an hour later and he came over and offered his congratulations.
"He talked about dealing with the hype around the Calcutta Cup and encouraged me to take it all in and leave nothing on the pitch.
"It was not awkward at all. He was very genuine and his actions show what a great guy and a great leader he is. He also told me his door is always open for any help I ever want. It was an absolute mark of the class of the guy."
Scotland were poor at the breakdown in Dublin and Johnson reckons Fusaro's scavenging skills on the floor at the scrum could be vital in helping secure the ball for his team and preventing the turnovers that have cost them.
Fusaro is much improved at club level since October when he was part of an international get-together in Glasgow yet failed to make the cut for the Tests against Japan, South Africa and Australia.
He added: "It was a setback but it gave me something to focus on and work on with Glasgow. It has been good to see that recognised in the Six Nations.
"I'm a real groundfeeder, that's one of my main strengths, over the ball, and it's what I'll focus on against England.
"Sure, there's pressure to fill Kelly's boots but there's pressure in every international game."
Fusaro's dad, Luigi, owns Luvian's ice-cream parlour with his brothers in St Andrews and although his boy also qualified for Italy through his grandparents, Scotland always came first.
Fusaro said: "I'll try to relish the experience. My family have been so supportive and friends and former coaches have sent so many good-luck messages to me and my girlfriend Katie. I played against England at Under-18 and Under-20 level, unfortunately losing on both occasions.
"I could have played for Italy but didn't think about it, not once."
US-born wing Tommy Seymour will make his Six Nations debut, coming in for injured Warriors team-mate Sean Maitland while Edinburgh centre Matt Scott is promoted from the bench.
Seymour said: "This feels like a second debut because it's the first major tournament I've competed in for Scotland."

sounds good...
Man Catcher Brownies
are these like the Tar Baby in Brer Rabbit?
Nope. They're like perfect brownies. Very dense, very moist and chewy, but there's definitely that typical brownie crumb to them.
They are tasty, but incredibly rich...like an explosion of chocolate in your mouth. Like getting brain-freeze from ice cream.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Speaking of that, wonder how these would taste, still hot from oven (or warmed back up), with a good rich french vanilla and some hot fudge. Thought about one of those quadruple chcocolate ice creams that some places make, but suspect the counterpoint with vanilla (or a REALLy good cherry or raspberry ice cream) would be even better, while the chocolate ice cream would be excessive.
Going to try making these brownies and my friend's "peanut butter supercookies" this weekend, then send them to Stagekat's studio for the pros. I figure if i can't look as good or dance as well as them, I'll do my best to make them fat.
One note--looking at the instructions, I forgot to put in when to add the salt. Mix the salt in with the flour, and add the mix to the batter. (Pretty standard, really.)
I can tell you from experience (*whistling innocently*) that they taste better after they've cooled. Something about the taste changes for the better. I don't know how they'd be warmed back up.
As for the ice cream...definitely keep with the vanilla. They are VERY rich, so you definitely need something to balance them out. Chocolate ice cream and/or chocolate sauce would be overwhelming, I think. I contemplated (briefly) taking a cooled one and splitting it horizontally, adding softened ice cream to the bottom layer, putting the top back on and sticking it in the freezer to make a brownie ice cream sammich. Luckily, I don't have ice cream at home.
may have to cook up a batch this weekend.
would be great with a simple espresso.
That thought crossed my mind once or twice! ;-) (Especially since I used up the last of my raw cocoa to make them.)
Oooh...espresso would be fabulous with them. The perfect foil to the sweetness.
plenty of raw cocoa in these parts... store's just down the street.
Sweet! One thing I'd like to do is go to your natural foods store and poke around with you, since you know about the stuff. You know, in addition to the more *cough* interesting *cough* things to do this weekend.
hrmm, now wondering if I ever posted those cookies here. I like them because I can pretend they're healthy. Oats AND whole wheat flour (and butter and chocolate and peanut butter and eggs)
absolutely! you can get all my yummy faves there. that awesome tuna, too...
...nom nom nom...
was thinking this morning what to cook up for saturday supper... mebbe some greek spaghetti? it's been weeks...
Oooh...greek spaghetti? Sounds interesting, and tasty!
...nom nom nom...
if you like indian food you should like this... made with cumin & cinnamon. not tomato-y
i have few people coming to my house on saturday so i'll make croatian pancakes for dessert.
For dinner spinach (with milk and eggs), gnocchi and prosciutto.
What's a Croatian pancake and how does it differ from other pancakes?
Separate names with a comma.

Reconciliation Australia is proud to release the State of Reconciliation in Australia report.
The first of its kind since 2000, the Report highlights what has been achieved under the five dimensions of reconciliation: race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity, and historical acceptance and makes recommendations on how we can progress reconciliation into the next generation.
Over the last 25 years, Australia has achieved some significant milestones on our reconciliation journey.
These include the establishment of native title, the Apology, the Closing the Gap framework and progress on constitutional recognition of First Australians.
While much goodwill and support for reconciliation is growing across the Australian community, racism, denial of rights, and a lack of willingness to come to terms with our history continue to overshadow the nation's progress towards reconciliation.
There are still many hard conversations before us.
These conversations are for all Australians to actively commit to and participate in, whether as individuals, or as members of the business, government, education, community or other sectors.
It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to ensure that one day in the near future, we can say that we are truly reconciled.
Until we achieve reconciliation, Australia will fall short of its full potential as a nation.
See below for the full copy and summary of the State of Reconciliation in Australia report, as well as our Twitter feed to follow or join this vital national conversation.
To also mark this milestone report, a video has been developed to highlight our nation's history, story, and chapters to come. Watch, share with friends, and lets all join in on the conversation of reconciliation in Australia.

Submissive wife...
I am not a submissive wife, but I have cousins that are, and I find it completely tragic.
One of my cousins in particular, is very open about it and brags about how great her life is, and yada yada yada...She claims how romantic her hubby is because he told her that it would be okay for her to take a nap today....How the hell is that even remotely romantic. And when I speak to her directly, he ALWAYS cuts her off, and speaks for her. I never actually get to speak to my cousin. When I was in college, I was at a family function and they were there, and she had gotten a moment away from him, and she asked me how life was going, and I was telling her what I was studying in school, and then he pops in and says, You're studying what? Oh, a woman doesn't need to know any of that. What you should do, is find yourself a man to take care of, and let the men worry about things like that...
I left...fuck that. If I had stayed I'd have thrown something at him.
He doesn't treat her well...I'm almost positive hes cheating on her too.
I have another cousin who is, or was a submissive wife, but her husband is divorcing her because she said that he told her, that she was boring, and his life was going no where with her. So no shes stuck with two kids, hasn't had a job in 8 years, and now she has it in her head that no one wants her because shes too boring.
Its fine if you want to be a submissive wife, just be careful, because you could end up with a shitty husband that really, just uses you to do his laundry. Thats what all the submissive wives I know, have become.
Quoting Beautiful31mom:
They do not sound submissive they sound like doormats which are two totally different things. My Husband would never ever treat me like that.
I am very happy as a submissive wife.
& poeple wonder why I really fucking hate that life style.
I think the people you know are mistaking being submissive with being a total door mat. There is a difference.
Oh lol he goes on fishing vacations with his friends and goes out here and there.. But if I ask he says not tonight or we dont have the extra cash
I still don't get what this whole submissive wife thing is....but judging by the name it doesn't sound like it is for me.

Activists block the exit of Lukyanovka jail, where the need to bring in for questioning the former employees of special forces the Golden eagle.
About a hundred activists of the Right sector block the exit of Lukyanovka jail in Kiev, reports Interfax-Ukraine. From the building of the jail was to take former employees of the Berkut special forces to participate in the meeting in the Sviatoshynsky district court of Kyiv on the case of murders of activists of the Euromaidan.
In the course of this trial, the planned interrogation via videoconference ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych as a witness in the murder of Maidan activists.
Thus, the court and, therefore, the interrogation of Yanukovych may not happen.
As reported Корреспондент.net25 November Friday in the Svyatoshinsky district court of Kiev will begin the hearing in the case of "Killing people during the Euromaidan", during which the planned interrogation of the former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych as a witness.

Trustees of MBI's US Foundation Vote to Support Virginia Tech Research on Modular Construction
Original Comment:
In a unanimous vote, the board of trustees of the MBI Educational Foundation (US) approved a $10,000 grant to support modular construction research at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Professor Joe Wheeler, AIA, serves as co-director of the Center for Design Research at Virginia Tech's School of Architecture and presented trustees with a proposal to build prototype modules for the Chicago Southworks development that includes 13,500 single family residences and 17,500,000 square feet of commercial space. Professor Wheeler is already familiar with the greener, faster, smarter attributes of modular construction having led three teams to the US Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon, his most recent team having won first place at the 2010 Solar Decathlon Europe in Madrid, Spain as well as receiving a 2012 award for architecture from the American Institute of Architects.
As for his Chicago Southworks research, to help disseminate findings directly to MBI members Professor Wheeler and his team will provide four whitepapers on innovative structural modular frames, optimal assembly line processes, optimal design tools and software for use in modular construction, and the ability of modular construction to deliver high-performance buildings. Deliverables also include exhibitions at national venues like the AIA annual convention; numerous articles, videos, and teaching resources; and the potential to have states adopt prototype modules as a preapproved assemblies. In addition to research, as an integrated academic/teaching effort a long-term deliverable will be engaging students and architects.
The project will eventually cost over $500,000 in cash and in-kind donations. In addition to MBI, Professor Wheeler has commitments from Mark Line Industries, Jenn Air, Samsung, Plain & Fancy Cabinets, Lutron, Kohler, Sylvania, Corning Glass, and others. If you are interested in partnering with Virginia Tech on this research project, contact

I've been attempting to get modular building going in the mid-west for the past fifteen years. Have financial people on board but have been waiting for the industry to make head way in the single/multi-family design/construction phase. It appears it is now on it's way. Come on America find MODULAR CONSTURCTION !!! Cost less to build and you get more for your investment. Jake H. Lewis - Clinton , Ok.

The winger tapped in the rebound after Asmir Begovic could only parry Ki Sung-Yueng's firm shot into his path to lift the Black Cats two points clear of the drop zone.
Sunderland moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 1-0 triumph over 10-man Stoke City at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday.
Adam Johnson's first half tap in inflicted a fifth straight away defeat in all competitions on Mark Hughes' men, who had Steven N'Zonzi sent off in the second half for a second bookable offense.
It could have been even better for Sunderland, which spurned several chances to extend its lead, with Jozy Altidore missing the best opportunity, but one goal proved to be enough.
The result sees the hosts move to 17th, while Stoke is just three points above the drop zone in 16th.
Sunderland predictably named a much-changed team from Saturday's FA Cup win over Kidderminster Harriers, but there was no place for midfielder Lee Cattermole as speculation mounts that he could be poised for a move to Stoke.
The visitors handed a debut to Peter Odemwingie, who completed his switch from Cardiff City on Tuesday.
Gus Poyet's side was on the front foot from the off and it had the first sight of goal on seven minutes when Fabio Borini surged forward and laid the ball into the path of Sebastian Larsson, whose shot stung the palms of Asmir Begovic.
That positive start was rewarded with the opening goal 17 minutes in. Borini's tame effort from 20 yards was spilled by Begovic, and Johnson was on hand to tap home the rebound from a tight angle.
After a sluggish opening, Stoke grew into the game, and Geoff Cameron should have done better in the 36th minute when he headed over at the back post from Charlie Adam's corner.
Soon afterward, Vito Mannone kept the scores level when Adam's cross-shot was met by the head of Ryan Shawcross, who drew a superb point-blank save from the goalkeeper.
Stoke continued to press in the second half but was reduced to 10 men on 53 minutes. Altidore broke free of the defense only to be tugged down by N'Zonzi, who had already been booked for a challenge on the same man in the first half.
Altidore could have made the numerical advantage pay immediate dividends when the ball broke for him in the box, but he was thwarted by the legs of Begovic.
Sunderland had additional chances, with Johnson curling wide from the right-hand side of the box, and Larsson testing Begovic from 25 yards.
Odemwingie almost made it pay for its profligacy when he had the chance to level after 73 minutes, as a neat turn saw him go one-on-one with Mannone, but his weak effort was easily saved.
Stoke came even closer with time running out, Shawcross this time almost earning a point when he guided a lofted header onto the crossbar.

In light of continued violence in many Muslim populated parts of the world over Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed, Pope Benedict has called for an end to the clashes--particularly to those recently in Nigeria, which have been some of the bloodiest yet.
As of yesterday, 16 people--mostly Christians--had been killed and 11 churches burned in that country.
Cardinal Secretary of State Angelo Sodano sent a telegram, in the name of the Holy Father, to the ecclesiastical and civil authorities of Nigeria, following the clashes.
In the message, the Holy Father was "Saddened to learn of the tragic consequences of the recent violent protests in northern Nigeria," and that he "assures all those affected of his closeness in prayer."
The Pope also commended the late Reverend Father Michael Gajere, killed … as well as "all the deceased to the loving mercy of the Almighty."
"Upon their grieving families", Cardinal Sodano wrote, "the Holy Father invokes divine blessings of strength and consolation. He likewise prays for all involved in providing security, encouraging them in their efforts to ensure peace and to promote the rule of law for which all people of good will long."

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II has identified the lack of local production of essential commodities and goods and the will to change policies that would drive the growth of quality local production as the biggest problem facing the country, and not the prevention of Nigerians from consuming imported goods.
Speaking as the special guest at a public presentation at the weekend, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, urged the federal government to take a decisive step on the type of economy it would want to run.
He said: "We have had decades of policy failure. The last decade was Africa's miracle decade because we moved from a continent that was known for hunger and war to a decade where as a people we were seen as a land of opportunities and investments.
"Nigeria grew at seven per cent every year through out that period as the economy doubled and we became the biggest economy in Africa but lack of policy made us loose all proceeds."
Sanusi maintained that the time had come for the government to differentiate between reality and passion.
He recalled: "I objected to the increase in the minimum wage from N12, 000 o N18, 000 in 2011 because government only had passion to reward the electorate and failed to consider the consequences along the line. By 2011, the federal government was spending about 80 per cent of its revenue on personnel and oil price was $110 per barrel and we were producing over two million barrels per day.

Al Jazeera's extensive coverage of the unrest in the Arab world has helped the news agency become something of an authority on issues relating to the region. Riyaad Minty, Al Jazeera's head of social media, recently took part in the Media140 conference in Barcelona. One of the discussed topics, Journalism.co.uk reported, was the network's approach of making use of on-location sources.
A key strategy for Al Jazeera, Minty said, was to get in early and make contact with important bloggers and sources. The idea was to identify key bloggers before protests broke out, so they could help verify information later on and act as citizen reporters.
"The key to getting in early is verifying information before the noise gets out," Minty said. "We had peoples' phone numbers, we could call them up and get things verified by them."
Social media obviously had a significant role to play in keeping in touch with the citizen reporters on the ground, and Al Jazeera's efficient and accomplished ways of using Twitter have already been acknowledged. But utilising new media alone would not have been enough - one has to also know what to do with it. What the use of new media permits is a more integral way of involving regular citizens in the news reporting process.
Al Jazeera is not alone in embracing the resource of citizen journalists, rather online news services are increasingly engaging with their audience, actively encouraging them to take part in news reporting. France 24, for example, features a section on its website called The Observers, in which eyewitnesses can submit text, video and images from current events. Many professional media sites also host blogs in addition to news reporting. There used to be a clear separation between professional and citizen journalism, but the two ways of reporting are now approaching each other in many ways.
Al Jazeera's success would suggest that professional news media can benefit greatly from people on the ground, at the heart of world-changing events. What other ways are there for news agencies to make use of citizen journalists?

St Paul MN (SPX) Jun 07, 2006
Chocolate lovers, beware. Each year 20 percent of the cacao beans that are used to make chocolate are lost to plant diseases, but even greater losses would occur if important diseases spread.
"Plant diseases are the most important constraints to cacao production and the continued viability of the world's confectionary trades," said Randy Ploetz, plant pathology professor at the University of Florida, Homestead, FL. Currently, 4 million metric tons of beans worth more than $4 billion are produced each year. The global chocolate market is worth $75 billion annually.
According to Ploetz, the three most important and damaging cacao diseases are black pod, frosty pod, and witches' broom. Black pod occurs worldwide and has the largest impact, while frosty pod and witches' broom are restricted to tropical America.
"Frosty pod and witches' broom would devastate cacao production in West Africa, where almost 70 percent of all production occurs," said Ploetz. "In this region, either disease could reduce yields by an additional one million more metric tons per year," he said.
New insights and current research on cacao diseases, as well as resistance to and management of the diseases, will be addressed during the Cacao Diseases: Important Threats to Chocolate Production Worldwide symposium held July 30 from 1:30-5 p.m., during the joint annual meeting of The American Phytopathological Society, Canadian Phytopathological Society, and the Mycological Society of America. The joint meeting will be held July 29–August 2, 2006, at the Centre des Congrčs de Québec, Québec City, Québec, Canada.

UN Reports AIDS Progress But
United Nations (UPI) Jun 01, 2006
As the AIDS pandemic enters its 25th year, a United Nations report issued this year sees important progress in HIV prevention and treatment in fighting the epidemic. However, the U.N. calls for a significant acceleration of the AIDS response it says continues to be outpaced by the disease.

Buffalo man faces retrial in stabbing
A Buffalo man faces a retrial May 12 in Erie County Court on one count of first-degree assault in the stabbing of his mother's boyfriend during an argument last year.
Judge Thomas P. Franczyk on Wednesday set the court date for Willie N. Henley, 35, who was initially charged with attempted second-degree murder and assault in the March 17 attack on Burnett Hopkins, 51, in a home on West Ferry Street where Henley lived with his mother and grandmother.
A jury last week acquitted Henley of attempted murder but deadlocked on the assault charge, resulting in a mistrial on that charge.
Besides scheduling the retrial, Franczyk also allowed John K. Jordan, Henley's assigned attorney, to withdraw. The judge assigned Joseph A. Agro to represent Henley at the retrial. Assistant District Attorney Paul Williams prosecuted the case.
Both the attempted murder and assault charges are Class B felonies, which carry a maximum prison sentence of up to 25 years upon conviction.

Coming in at just shy of 550 pages, Lucille may surprise readers in that it is the first installment in a multipart, ongoing narrative crafted by Debeurme. The crudeness of the line work betrays the sparse stylings of Chester Brown and perhaps even a slight element of Dan Clowes or Mike Judge, as Debeurme gives his characters and environments very little detail or refinement. As a result, Lucille harkens back to the early alternative cartoons and comics in its visual presentation.
Although Debeurme builds up his characters throughout the book by examining their earlier lives, Lucille opens rather immediately on the teenage life of Lucille, a shy, socially awkward girl who searches for self-definition and explores her sexuality through masturbation. Yet there is very little investment in her character or development of her crisis with anorexia beyond largely superficial and stereotypical teen angst about self-worth and body image. While Debeurme does not make light of these issues, Lucille's struggles with them feel largely empty and glossed over until much later in the text. Her transformation from a slightly skinny woman into a full-blown, skeletal waifish anorexic is far too rushed and thus limits the power and trauma of the condition.
At first, it appears that Arthur, the lead male character, suffers from the same blanket source material, as he is introduced as the generic misunderstood, troubled youth who dabbles in the "dark arts." Unlike Lucille, however, Arthur is given a much more succinct and well-rounded profile in his alcoholic father, his own battles with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and his troubled home life. By far the strongest relationship in the book is not the one that ultimately develops between Arthur and Lucille, but rather the one between Arthur and his own father. It is here that Debeurme makes his greatest emotional statement as well as forges a connection with the reader in the tragic, paternal bonds of Arthur and Vladimir.
There is an inconsistency with the pacing of Lucille due in part to Debeurme's abandonment of panel structure and layout throughout the book. While the gridless approach works in a few sequences—for example, Debeurme achieves a rather seamless transition between the images of young Arthur's chronicle of passing time by counting the number of empty beer glasses atop the bar—the same cannot be said for the high-momentum episodes where action overtakes the narrative and the results are muddled. For example, the fight scene with Vladimir in the bar early in the book or similar aggressive moments later on lose their impact and resonance because of this stylistic approach. Furthermore, the proposed sequences of normalcy such as Arthur watching the X-Files on television seem out of place and awkward in their placement within the evolving and unfolding work.
One of Lucille's most significant attributes, though, is functional, particularly in the translation of the original French-language edition. All too many times, it seems that some highly rated and championed foreign comics lose their stature when translated into English. Whether this is indicative of the profession or simply the inherent details of linguistics is unclear; however, Top Shelf deserves credit here for whatever service it used to produce such a smooth narrative and dialogue-driven prose for American readers.
Furthermore, because Lucille deals with such universal themes facing teens and young adults internationally, it has a great appeal beyond its literary merits for use in the classroom as a text to explore the issues of eating disorders, self-image, mental illness, and familial relationships in a less didactic and authoritative fashion.
Although Lucille can hardly be classified as escapist literature, it succeeds overall in the slower, more intimate, and serene moments, including Lucille's childhood play, Arthur's internal monologues, the initial meetings of the two main characters, and the later episode with Arthur's sailor keychain. Knowing that it is only the first part of a project also makes for a better acceptance of Debeurme's conclusion and the characters' efforts at redemption and reconciliation. Definitely worth the time and effort, Lucille is a credit to Top Shelf's catalog of impressive graphic novels and deserves the attention of readers wanting some of the most innovative sequential art published today.

McDonald's To Ditch The Toys And Offer Books With Happy Meals Instead
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this! From now until February 15th, any time you order a Happy Meal at McDonald's, instead of getting a toy your child will get one of 4 books that the fast food chain is offering.
According to the LA Times, the book selections are the classic "Paddington" by Michael Bond and illustrated by R. W. Alley, while the other three all follow a Valentine's Day theme. Books "Clark the Shark Takes Heart" by Bruce Hale and illustrated by Guy Francis; "Happy Valentine's Day, Mouse!" by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond; and "Pete the Cat: Valentine's Day Is Cool" by Kimberly and James Dean complete the book choices.
McDonald's has teamed with literacy nonprofit group Reading is Fundamental and will also donate 100,000 books to the organization as well. In a statement released by Carol H. Rasco, CEO and president of Reading is Fundamental, McDonald's involvement in this initiative is crucial to getting books in the hands of young readers.
"Ensuring children have access to books has proven instrumental in combating illiteracy in children in the United States. Studies prove the simple act of reading a book to a child at bedtime has a direct impact on his or her educational growth and potential."
This is the third year that McDonald's has supported this initiative and will have donated more than 50 million books by the end of the year.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I, and I think my kids would much rather get a book in their Happy Meal than a cheap old plastic toy that ends up in my recycle bin or garbage can within minutes of it being opened.
What do you think Hot Moms? Do your kids like the toys or do you think they'd rather get a book?


text: I realize that on a TV capable of outputting 480p you would need the component cables. Would there be any noticeable difference in picture quality on a standard definition TV using the S-Video cables over the component cables? My reasoning for this is that I can leave my PS2 hooked via component cables and hook up the wii to S-Video. If not I can always get an S-video cable for the PS2 or just switch the cables when I want to change systems.

Groupon Gives Discount on School Tuition
College Sells Groupon For Cheaper Tuition
Students at the National Louis University can give their wallets a little break. The Chicago-based school is offering a Groupon for an introductory teaching course for graduate students, and buyers can save up to 57 percent off the tuition of one course. There are only four days left till the deal closes, and up to 15 coupons available — two of which have already been bought. The course normally totals up to $2,232, but people who purchase the daily deal can buy it for just $950.
If you're interested in the details, the class starts this Fall, and students will meet once a week on Monday nights for three hours. There are only 25 spots available for that class, and students will receive three credits that they can use toward the 36 credits needed to graduate from the program.
Now, if only other graduate schools started selling their courses on Groupon . . .

Manuel Pellegrini: I want to leave Man City with some more silverware
The ice-cool Chilean will be replaced by Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola at the end of the season but is eager to end his time at the club on a high.
City currently sit fourth in the Premier League and are on the verge of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time, following their 3-1 demolition of Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie in Ukraine last week.
Pellegrini gets his first shot at a trophy this season at Wembley this afternoon when City face a Liverpool side who also enjoyed midweek success in Europe, making it through to the Europa League Round of 16 with a 1-0 win over Augsburg.

This May, one of Harvard Medical School's distinguished graduates is returning to the fold. After a decade-long stint at Eli Lilly and Company, where most recently he served as senior vice president for discovery research and clinical investigation, William Chin '72 will rejoin HMS as executive dean for research. In this newly created position, the molecular endocrinologist will have overarching responsibility for the School's biomedical investigation.
In his new role, Chin will spearhead efforts to design and implement a vision for research at HMS, focusing on interdisciplinary investigations that cross departmental and institutional boundaries and advance translational research and therapeutics. He will also hold an academic appointment as an HMS professor of medicine.
Chin has had a long and deep relationship with his alma mater and its affiliates. After training at Beth Israel Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, he served on the faculty in the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He later became chief of the genetics division at that hospital, as well as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a professor of medicine and of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology at HMS. Chin has published nearly 300 papers, chapters, and books and has received numerous awards for his research and mentorship.
Many of Chin's investigations have exemplified the concept of translational research, applying basic scientific discoveries to animals and, ultimately, humans. This approach, says HMS Dean Jeffrey Flier, makes Chin a fitting choice to develop and guide new research initiatives. "One of Bill's highest priorities," Flier says, "will be to help find new ways to transform the world's most vital biomedical research into therapies that can directly improve human health."
At a time when industry ties to academe are under scrutiny, Flier adds, Chin's experience at Lilly will serve HMS well. Chin will develop a coherent strategy for the School's scientific interaction with industry, ensuring that it adheres to the HMS Faculty Policy on Conflicts of Interest and Commitment. "There are very few people capable of rising to meet such challenges," says Flier. "I'm thrilled that Bill will be joining the HMS leadership team."

EICMA 2012 - MV Agusta Rivale
The latest MV Agusta is all set to hit the roads and this one seems to have set its sights on the Ducati Hypermotard. Its called the Rivale, and is the first supermoto from MV's stables. Its got an 800cc inline-triple engine that's good for 125PS. Styling reminds us of other motorcycles in the family, but the bike clears its intentions at the very first look - the minimal body work and sharp design language tell you this bike is meant for being the hooligan on the streets and power sliding around every corner possible. The headlight is a LED unit, and in supermoto fashion the bike gets hand guards that integrate the turn indicators and also hold the foldable rear view mirrors. Another hot Italian we say.

there are a large number of dell axim owners out there, and a topic that often pops up in the discussion forums is the best case to buy for your device. a new website, aximcases, has been launched that provides direct links to the assorted manufacturers of axim cases. there is also a forums page that is broken down into each manufacturer, and also includes forums on axim deals, hardware, and accessories. i think sites like these are a great resource, especially for new pocket pc owners. with the dell axim's competitivley priced like they are there are many first-time pocket pc owners–as well as veteran pocket pc owners–who may enjoy this site. by the way, there has not been much discussion about the reported new axim devices since everyone has been focused on the new hp ipaqs. i wonder if we'll see a pocket pc 2003 axim announced with the launch of the new operating system? dell sure has been quiet since early in the year when it projected a summer 2003 launch of the x7 and x3. thanks to slava pupko for the intro.

Fed May Disappoint Many Dollar Bulls
Despite a considerable improvement in financial markets, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 0.25% to 0%, a record low. Indeed, economic activity remains constrained by ongoing job losses, lower housing wealth, and tight credit", the Federal Open Market Committee recently said. However, it will be interesting to see if the Fed expresses some concern about inflation since energy prices and soft commodities have risen of late (sugar is up by more than 30% YTD). The dollar has been well bid ahead of the rate decision on speculation the resumption of economic growth in the United States will lead to a positive shift of interest rate differentials in favor of the dollar. Yet, investors will be disappointed if the Fed fails to signal an exit strategy for quantitative easing.

Fed's Quantitative Easing Continues to Weigh on the Dollar
Despite the recent improvement in investor's confidence, the US Federal Reserve continues to take a number of actions to increase liquidity and stabilize financial markets. Indeed, the Federal Open Market Committee continues to anticipate "economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period". Moreover, "to provide support to mortgage lending and housing markets and to improve overall conditions in private credit markets", the Federal Reserve will purchase a total of up to $1.25 trillion of agency mortgage-backed securities and up to $200 billion of agency debt by the end of the year. In addition, the Federal Reserve will buy up to $300 billion of Treasury securities by autumn". However, notwithstanding the short-term benefits of an aggressive monetary policy, the Federal Reserve really needs to start thinking about long term implications of its current actions. In particular, the Fed needs to announce an exit strategy for quantitative easing before investors start questioning its policy mechanisms to achieve sustainable growth. Apparently, the US Treasury is monetizing the government deficit by printing out money for the Federal Reserve to purchase bonds. However, this is a strategic mistake because it's unsustainable. In fact, the US public debt now stands at 11 trillion continuing to increase an average of $3.92 billion per day. Eventually, inflation will spike higher since more money will be available for the same quantity of goods. Among other things, inflation fears could force the Fed to increase the benchmark interest rate which could slow down growth and plunge the US economy into stagflation. In fact, several months of quantitative easing combined with expectations for a record government budget-deficit are already taking its toll in the dollar exchange rate. For instance, the dollar lost substantial value against the euro during the last 4 months. The EUR/USD rallied more than 1800 pips since March trading from a low of 1.2455 to as high as 1.4337 in July.
Forecast for the US Dollar
Alan Greenspan once said that "having endeavored to forecast exchange rates for more than half a century, I have understandably developed significant humility about my ability in this area". I certainly did not spend 50 years researching exchange rates but I had my share of failed forecasts already. Having said that, in the near-term we think the US dollar is likely to remain under heavy selling pressure until the US Federal Reserve announces a clear exit strategy for quantitative easing. However, in the long-term, the resumption of economic growth in the United States is likely to influence the Federal Reserve monetary policy and lead to a positive shift of interest rate differentials in favor of the US dollar. So, because we have several opposite forces driving the current dollar exchange rate, we will probably see both the EUR/USD and USD/JPY trading in relatively tight ranges throughout the third quarter of 2009. In sum, look for opportunities to sell-short any major dollar rally but also don't forget to buy excessive losses in the dollar exchange rate.

Can someone please clarify for me the state of video streaming on iOS, Android, and Desktop? By this i mean, i want to live stream my video encoding with h.264+AAC but i want to be able to stream it to those 3 platforms.
My understanding:
* iOS only supports HLS. Adobe Air supports HLS fine? but HDS is crippled.
* Android has HLS but it is too buggy to use. Adobe Air supports HDS fine but does it support HLS fine bypassing Androids SDK?
* Desktop supports HLS, HDS, RTMP, or DASH fine.
* RTMP is not supported by iOS and RTMP has scalability issues if too many users connect at once for a live stream since it is a persistent connection.
I figure Flash/Adobe Air HLS would be the best solution to support all. Or is it best to rely on a media server's transmuxing for each platform (HLS for iOS and HDS for all others)?

This tea is a rarer version of da hong pao, and the price reflects both this fact and the exquisite quality of the tea.
The scent of the dry leaves differs subtly from Harney's less expensive option, foretelling of a sweeter flavor when brewed. The scent itself is anything but subtle, so one should inhale the dry leaves before making a decision to purchase this tea. The olfactory characteristics are reminiscent of what a combination of a Fenghuang Shuixian oolong and da hong pao may taste like (I may try this and compare and revert).
I tend to steep my oolongs longer than what is typically suggested but for this review I went with 175 degrees for 2 minutes, which was plenty sufficient to generate a robust light rust colored brew, again with an unmistakable aroma that suggests a hint of sweetness. The taste delivers – it is more complex and refined than the less expensive version, and somewhat sweeter, and it is this 'dark fruit' sweetness that I believes rounds out the cup rather elegantly. Downright sophisticated and close to parfait.

Star Magazines Fakes photos of Brad and Angelina
In a desperate attempt to compete with Us Weeklies exclusive African vacation pics, The Miami Herald reports that Star admits to doctoring photos of Brad and Angelina on their cover. Apparently they took to different beach photos and tried to recreate the images and then had the nerve of writing, "a disclaimer noting the image is a 'composite of two photographs.'"
Bonnie, I think that is weak. You should have just paid up for the photos.

SEATTLE -- The Atlanta Silverbacks captured their first W-League championship Sunday evening with five of the team's six goals coming by way of Georgia players, including two from rising junior Susannah Dennis.
The Silverbacks won the title with a 6-1 decision over the Ottawa Fury at Seattle's Starfire Sports Complex after a semifinal victory over former Bulldog Carrie Patterson and the Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Friday.
The Silverbacks' first goal in the final came from rising senior Jamie Pollock off a corner kick. The lead became 2-0 on a strike from the left side from Dennis, while sophomore Alexa Newfield added the third tally on a free kick to close the first-half scoring.
Dennis added her second goal nine minutes into the second half. Bulldog alum Megan Tomlinson, who earned championship game MVP honors, added another goal for the Silverbacks.

Nation briefs for January 15
New Mexico boy shoots 2 classmates at school
ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — A 12-year-old New Mexico boy drew a shotgun from a band-instrument case and shot and wounded two classmates at his middle school Tuesday morning before a teacher talked him into dropping the weapon and he was taken into custody, officials and witnesses said.
A boy was critically injured and a girl was in satisfactory condition following the shooting at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell.
Gov. Susana Martinez said the students were in the gym, where they typically hang out before classes start during cold and inclement weather. The 12-year-old pulled a shotgun and opened fire there about 8 a.m.
However, he was "quickly stopped by one staff member who walked right up to him and asked him to set down the firearm, which he did," Martinez said at a news conference.
Superintendent Tom Burris said the school's faculty participated in "active shooter" training, and they responded appropriately Tuesday.
"In the 10 seconds that transpired from the time of this thing starting until the teacher had control of the weapon, there was no cowardice," Burris said. "There was protection for our kids. Everyone acted and did their duties today at Berrendo Middle School."
Officials at University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, said an 11-year-old boy was flown there in critical condition and a 13-year-old girl arrived in serious condition. Her condition was upgraded to satisfactory Tuesday evening.
Information from nurses treating the boy indicates he was the shooter's target, hospital spokesman Eric Finley said. There was some confusion about the boy's age, but Finley said his parents told the hospital he is 11.
The governor said a staff member received very minor injuries but declined medical care because he wanted to stay and help.
State Police Chief Pete Kassetas said the investigation was in the early stages, and authorities were still looking into a possible motive. He estimated more than 100 students and faculty members needed to be interviewed.
Man fatally shot at Fla. theater for texting
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) — Chad Oulson was described by friends as a man who loved dirt bikes and his baby daughter. Curtis Reeves was a retired Tampa police officer with numerous commendations who liked riding his motorcycle with his wife.
The men's lives collided in a movie theater altercation that resulted in Oulson's death and Reeves in jail. Oulson was texting his daughter's day care, friends said, and Reeves got mad. Authorities said Reeves shot and killed Oulson with a handgun after the men exchanged words.
Reeves' personnel files from the police department show he led other agencies in gun safety training and received numerous letters of commendation for his leadership.
Still, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said Tuesday: "It didn't matter what he had done previously in his life. You don't shoot someone over a texting incident."
During Reeves' first court appearance Tuesday, Judge Lynn Tepper ordered the 71-year-old detained without bond on a second-degree murder charge pending a bond hearing.

Anybody got any Savage Arms information re axis vs m10
Anybody got any Savage Arms information re axis vs m10?
So I had narrowed my search down for a left handed bolt gun on a budget, the axis fit all my criterias bar iron sights (but I was gonna stick a red dot on it anyway.
Axis are sold over here, I've read and watched good reviews both US and domestic(swedish)
Then I stumble on a good package deal for a model 10, which seems to be just sold internationally?
edit scratch that, there is a US version but a different scope for some reason???
So what is the difference in m10 vs axis apart from the wood vs synthetic stock? Long or short action?, because all the replacement stocks on swedish midway say long action. the .308 doesn't require a long action does it?
the axis action has been described as somewhat crude during the first couple of hundred repeats, the same for m10?
M10 also promises sub moa out of the box
and what does sku mean when checking savage arms webpage?
and does 4 rounds mean 3 in the mag and one in the chamber?
plastic or metal mag?, can you top it of?
the synthetic axis is a couple of inches longer with the same length barrel, any reason for that?
Does savage have a good supply of aftermarket parts?
And for the life of me I can't understand what satin means in terms of finish, isn't satin a fabric? it is not laminated is it? I've heard that laminated are easily scratched and so on
the MSRP for the m10 is twice that of the axis (but I assume that is due to the package deal with a fitted scope? is a Weaver 3-9x40 Scope a 400 dollar scope?
Just in general american guns are not viewed so favourable by the old guard over here (but the new guard all seem to have rem700 and mossbergs and etc) the old farts use their old husqvarna
or go for fancy euro stuff. the same old guard love your cars thou

Final: Red Sox 11, Rangers 5
Final: Red Sox 11, Rangers 5
After getting shut out in Monday night's opener of this four-game series, the Red Sox tonight got their vengeance in a big way, scoring 11 runs off 14 hits (including a pair of homers by Adrian Gonzalez) to win for the first time at Rangers Ballpark for the first time this season after losing five straight, including a season-opening three-game set.
John Lackey (12-9, 5.98 ERA) picked up the win after going 6.2 innings and allowing four runs on seven hits, including a solo homer by Josh Hamilton in the fifth. He had entered the game with a 11-13 lifetime record (6.07 ERA) against the Rangers.
Dan Wheeler was the third reliever in the game and gave up a solo homer to Ian Kinsler in the bottom of the ninth before striking out Elvis Andrus to end the game before a crowd of 25,705.
Top of 8th: Red Sox 11, Rangers 4
After Darren Oliver took over in the seventh for Colby Lewis, Mark Lowe came in with two out and men on the corners to face Marco Scutaro. The Red Sox short stop hit what initially appeared to be a two-run homer off the top of the wall in left. It was ruled a double by third base umpire Paul Nauert and reviewed by the umpiring crew and upheld as a double. Adrian Gonzalez drew an intentional walk and Dustin Pedroia, who came to the plate 0-for-4, made Lowe pay dearly with a towering two-run double off the wall to left.
Alfredo Aceves will pitch the bottom of the eighth for the Red Sox.
Bottom of 7th: Red Sox 7, Rangers 4
Pitching change. With two out and one on, Franklin Morales relieved Lackey and got Josh Hamilton to fly to left. Lackey went 6.2 innings and allowed four runs on seven hits, including a solo homer by Hamilton, and three walks while striking out five. He threw 106 pitches, 64 for strikes.
Bottom of 6th: Red Sox 7, Rangers 4
Wow How else to describe the manner in which Lackey extricated himself from that mess? With one out and runners on first and and third, Lackey got Yorvit Torrealba to hit a comebacker to the mound. Lackey fielded the groundball between his legs, dropped to his knees as he spun around and fired to second baseman Dustin Pedroia for the force out on Mitch Moreland. Pedroia then turned the inning-ending 1-4-3 double play by throwing out Torrealba at first.
Bottom of 5th: Red Sox 7, Rangers 4
The Rangers got one back when Josh Hamilton unloaded on a 0-and-1 pitch from Lackey and sent it rocketing 396-feet to the bleachers in right field. Lackey has now thrown 80 pitches, 43 for strikes.
Bottom of 4th: Red Sox 7, Rangers 3
Lackey, even in this oppressive weather, seemed to give new meaning to the term "a little high heat," after he struck out Endy Chavez (swinging) on an elevated 92-mile-per-hour cutter to end the inning after getting Yorvit Torrealba (swinging) on an 87-mile-per-hour slider. Through four innings, Lackey has allowed three runs on four hits while walking two and striking out four. He's thrown 73 pitches (43 for strikes).
Top of 4th: Red Sox 7, Rangers 3
Aching neck? What aching neck? Adrian Gonzalez's neck certainly didn't appear to be causing any short circuit in his power swing after he homered for the second time in the game (and 20th time this season). Gonzalez powered a 1-1 pitch from Lewis that traveled 402 feet over the fence in left center. It was Gonzalez's 12th multi-homer game of his career and second of the season after hitting a pair of homers May 10 at Toronto.
Bottom of 3rd: Red Sox 6, Rangers 3
Lackey began to labor in the inning when he loaded the bases on three consecutive singles then walked in the Rangers' first run with a free pass to Elvis Andrus, which left the bases loaded for Josh Hamilton, who lofted a sacrifice fly to center that scored Endy Chavez from third. With one out, DH Michael Young then lofted a sacrifice fly to right that scored Ian Kinsler from third, making it 6-3. Lackey got out of the inning by inducing Nelson Cruz to ground to short. That makes it four sac flies, two apiece by each team, so far in the game.
Top of 3d: Red Sox 6, Rangers 0
The Sox tacked on two more to their run total. Josh Reddick snapped an 0-for-8 hitting skein with his sharply-struck lead-off single past Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler. He went from first to third on Jed Lowrie's single to right and scored on Crawford's RBI sacrifice fly to right. Lowrie scored from first on Ryan Lavarnway's RBI double to center, prompting Lewis to receive his second mound visit of the game from pitching coach Mike Maddux. The visit did the trick as Lewis got Saltalamacchia to fly to left for the inning-ending out.
Bottom of 2d: Red Sox 4, Rangers 0
After retiring the first five batters he faced, including two on strikeouts, Lackey allowed his first baserunner to reach when he walked Mike Napoli. But he got out of the inning on a 3-4-3 defensive gem by Dustin Pedroia, who stopped short as he moved to his left and spun to reach to his right for a groundball by Mitch Moreland that caromed off Adrian Gonzalez's glove. Pedroia fired to a laid out Gonzalez to make the put out.
Top of 2d: Red Sox 4, Rangers 0
The Sox tacked on two more runs against Lewis in the second. Jed Lowrie got things going with lead-off single. Lowrie beat out a soft groundball down the line to first for a basehit. Carl Crawford, batting in the No. 7 hole, followed with a single to right. After Ryan Lavarnway struck out swinging, Jarrod Saltalamacchia rapped an RBI double to right, making it 3-0. After Lewis issued an intentional walk to Ellsbury to load the bases for Marco Scutaro, the Sox shortstop responded with an RBI sacrifice fly to center, scoring Crawford from third.
Bottom of 1st: Red Sox 2, Rangers 0
John Lackey, looking to redeem himself for his 9-3 loss he absorbed here vs. the Rangers April 2, looked strong and in his element in the searing Texas heat as he recorded a 1-2-3 inning on 13 pitches.
Top of 1st: Red Sox 2, Rangers 0
Adrian Gonzale, who last hit a home run July 30 at Chicago, got his 19th of the season with a towering two-run shot to the right field porch here at Rangers Ballpark off a 2-and-0 pitch from Colby Lewis. Gonzalez drove in Jacoby Ellsbury, who reached on a lead-off single to right, stole second and advanced to third on Marco Scutaro's sacrifice bunt.
Pregame: Greetings from Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, where the game time temp is 103 degrees. Earlier this month, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area snapped a streak of 40-consecutive days of 100-degree heat. Looks like they're working on another streak. Let's see if the Red Sox, on the heels of a 4-0 shutout loss Monday night, can heat it up as well.
