FORT HOOD – After the initial confusion of Thursday's mass shooting, even the youngest Fort Hood residents offered support to their community.
Students at Clear Creek Elementary School decorated thank-you cards Monday to deliver to soldiers injured in the mass shooting on post that left 13 dead and 38 wounded.
Third-graders in Julie Beasley's class sketched American flags, hearts and Army tanks on their cards. It was part of a school-wide effort for students to show their appreciation to soldiers.
"I'm saying thank you to soldiers for serving our country," said 8-year-old John Gibbons, whose dad is currently deployed to Iraq.
Nearly 2,700 students at 10 Killeen ISD schools remained trapped inside their campuses for five hours Thursday until Fort Hood officials said the danger was contained.
Clear Creek, located at Fort Hood, was about to dismiss its students when Principal Maryann Ramos received a phone call to pull everyone inside, including the hundreds of parents who arrived to pick up their children.
About 1,200 people were locked inside the building.
"All I could think of was to take care of the kids and the staff. They're my priority," Ramos said.
Many of the military parents volunteered to guard the halls and campus entries.
"It was almost an immediate reaction," Ramos said. "They came out and said, 'We can help.'"
Beasley said she played games with 11 adults and 37 students in her classroom until the lockdown ended.
"The kids were calm, but they really didn't know what was going on for a long time," she said. "At first they thought it was a drill."
Keyna Ramos, 9, said she didn't find out about the shootings until the lockdown ended, and she returned home.
"My mom and dad told me what happened. ... I got very scared," said Keyna, as she wrote a letter thanking soldiers for their bravery. "I wanted to sleep in my mom's room."
KISD officials reopened their doors Friday morning and students returned to class as scheduled.
"They (the students) haven't talked about it much in the classroom," Beasley said. "I think they talk about it more at home."

ARSONISTS have targeted a pigeon fancier for the fifth time in 10 years leaving him devastated.
Police said 50 racing pigeons, worth thousands of pounds, were killed in the blaze which destroyed a wooden cabin.
The birds were the "pride and joy" of Geoffrey Williams, 74, who has been keeping pigeons at his allotment in Padiham for 50 years.
Two fire crews from Padiham tackled the blaze at Mr Williams' allotment, in Quarry Street, at around 5.30pm on Wednesday.
Mr Williams was too upset to talk yesterday.
He was previously targeted in November 2006, when he lost 60 birds in an arson attack and a similar incident in March 2008 which killed 100 birds and two pet rabbits.
His daughter Julie Williams blasted the arsonists as 'senseless morons' while the North West regional president of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association said it was 'very sad'.
She said that her father was 'physically sick' when he saw the burnt out shed.
Miss Williams, 46, a manager at the nearby Hilton Residential Lodge, said: "This is his life. He never takes holidays, even on Christmas Day he's down here tending to the birds.
"He's lost thousands of pounds before because of the previous attacks.
"He's won hundreds of prizes with them. They are his pride and joy.
"He built the fencing around the place himself, and he used to have a dog for security but was told he couldn't have one any more when new houses were built."
Mr Williams, a former miner and slaughterhouse worker, lives in Partridge Hill Street with his wife Sheila, 70.
He has kept pigeons at the allotment since 1962.
She said that after the previous incidents the family had taken turns in keeping a watch on the sheds as they feared another attack would happen. She said: "We're hoping dad will start again but he's very down at the moment. He doesn't know what to do and he still in a state of shock.
"We won't be able to start working on clearing up and repairing the area until the weekend."
Proven racing-stock pigeons cost more than £100 each.
Miss Williams estimates the cost of damage from all five incidents is around £50,000.
Brian Tattersall, North West regional president of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association, said: "I can't believe people would take this sort of action against someone enjoying a healthy pastime. He's not a young man and the sport gives him something to live for."
Duncan Barker-Brown, watch manager at Padiham station, said: "We are treating it as deliberate and we'll be helping the police with their investigations.
"The shed is wooden and has suffered 100 per cent fire damage. It is likely to have been targeted from the outside on purpose."

THE SUPPORT OF TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IN IMPERFECT COMPETITION (SELECTED ASPECTS FOCUSED ON SMEs IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC)
The phenomenon of globalization affects a lot the reality of imperfect competition and it influences its forms. The imperfect competition includes two extreme forms and each from them is connected with specific problems. An enterprise generally disposes of reasonable resources for an implementation of technology development in the monopoly position but practically it does not have any motivation to implement it. The monopolistic competition, represented by SMEs, is motivated to implement technology development. However, financial resources are usually missing. In this situation, the role of state or "supra-state" (the EU) support can be considered as irreplaceable. The support of SMEs in the Czech Republic reflects the EU-framework. In the period 2007-2013, the most of the finances from public resources, affecting SME competitiveness, flow into the Czech Republic from the EU structural funds, namely through relevant published operational programmes. The platform of "technology centres" was made in the previous period and it was allocated in separate regions. Their significant role is the support of technology development and innovation focused on SMEs. Research results show that these technology centres differentiate by founder, as well as by their capital power and operational performance. As a result, it presents a different rate of the fulfillment of their main role: to support innovation trends of SMEs effectively. Simultaneously, the research presents – in the framework of the analysed problem – a connection between the support of technology development and indicators of wealth in regional context.

|Current Tour:
|The Party
|First Album:
|Chris Brown (2005)
|Official Website
YouTube Channel
The often-controversial Chris Brown was born in 1989 in Virginia. He was discovered at age 13 and later signed to Jive Records. Brown released his debut self-titled album in 2005 to great fanfare. His debut single, "Run It!", was the first debut single by a male artist to reach the top of the singles chart since 1995. The next year saw the first Chris Brown tour, entitled "Up Close and Personal," as he ventured out to promote the album.
After a period of touring with artists such as Beyonce and Ne-Yo, as well as a couple acting gigs, Brown returned to recording and released his second album, Exclusive in 2007. Another big success for Brown, it has sold over 2 million records to date. Brown embarked on his second major tour, The UCP Exclusive Tour, to support the album.
While in production on third album Graffiti, Brown was charged with felony assault after injuring then-girlfriend Rihanna. The charges eventually led to a series of legal repercussions for Brown following future incidents of violence, but ultimately had little effect on his career as a whole. The album was released in late 2009 to less than stellar reviews, but still managed to do moderately well commercially.
Brown's next album, F.A.M.E. (2011), saw some improvements in commercial fortunes despite receiving mixed reviews, becoming his first number one album in the United States. Particularly successful songs from the album included "Yeah 3x," "Look at Me Now," and "Beautiful People." The album was followed up by the F.A.M.E. Tour. His fifth album, Fortune, was released the following year to mostly negative reviews. Brown released his sixth album, X in 2014. It received a significantly better reception than the previous two albums.Brown released his first collaborative album, Fan of a Fan: The Album with Tyga in February 2015. The album, which debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 was met with mixed reviews and produced the popular hit, "Ayo."
In 2015, Brown toured the country with Trey Songz on the "Between The Sheets Tour" and will be embarking on the "One Hell of a Nite" tour later this year. On the tour, Brown will be accompanied by Fetty Wap, Kid Ink, Omarion, and Teyana Taylor.

A NEW scheme is to launch at a Yorkshire Dales school to give students top careers advice from high-profile employers.
Current and ex-pupils of Sedbergh School, aged between 14 and 25, will be able to take advantage of the Next Steps Show which launches on May 23.
Exhibitors at the event will include Ernst & Young, the BBC, York University, Newcastle University, University of British Columbia, New College of the Humanities, Camargue Chambers LLP and Impact International.
Headmaster Andrew Fleck said: "There is a national drive to improve the standard of careers advice in schools.
"It is something we have been delivering successfully through time-tabled lessons and guest speaker events, and through one-to-one contact with teachers who have industry experience.
"But with the increase in competition for university places and jobs, we identified a need to create more networking opportunities and to ensure pupils and old Sedberghians think about and plan their next step from a position of knowledge."
In March 2014, Ofsted's chief schools inspector Sir Michael Willshaw highlighted the need for a national drive to improve the standard of careers advice in schools.
A survey carried out by the Government showed that three out of every four state schools visited had not been delivering an adequate service and the Confederation of British Industry director John Cridland said last year that careers advice in schools was on 'life support'.
Sedbergh School also recently launched its second vocational course for sixth formers this year, a BTEC Diploma in Agriculture – a new route into Veterinary Medicine and Engineering.
The Next Steps Show will take place during the day and will be followed in the evening by a networking social gathering for sixth formers, recent graduates, exhibitors and parents.
Skills workshops and seminars will include: 'IT… it's not just for geeks', 'Getting into Law', 'So what's so special about you?', 'Life in front of and behind the camera – getting into the media sector', 'Preparing for Interview' and 'A Doctor's Lot'.

Ken asks:
Over the last several months, I've had trouble finding ammunition at my usual carriers. I use popular calibers (.45acp and .223rem) and live in the SF Bay area, so it could be due to small market/high demand forces. In either case, I've recently started thinking about reloading–not just to potentially save money, but limit my dependency on the supply chain. I think this might be of interest to other readers, too. Could we see a "Fundamentals of Reloading" installment?
With apologies to the dozens of other Ask Foghorn articles waiting for response, let's talk about rolling your own . . .
It's true: reloading can save you a ton of money. It can also render unto thee match grade ammunition precisely tuned to your specific firearm or purpose. The process is relatively simple.
Modern self-contained ammunition is composed of four main parts (from left to right): the primer, the case, the powder and the projectile. These components come together to form a single round of ammunition called a cartridge. But only three of these components are "used up" during the firing process: the primer, powder and projectile. The case can be re-used over and over again. The process of turning that used case into a fresh round of ammunition is called "reloading."
When you pull the trigger on a firearm, the firing pin strikes the primer at the rear of the case. When it's struck, the primer is emits a small spark. That spark travels through a small hole in the rear of the case to the main chamber. Smokeless powder waiting in that main chamber reacts with the spark and begins to burn, producing expanding gases.
These gases are trapped by the projectile (a.k.a., bullet)— which is seated in the top or "mouth" of the case and held in place by friction. When the pressure overcomes the force of friction keeping the projectile in the case, the two separate. The bullet heads down the barrel. The gasses dissipate. All that's left is the spent brass case.
The spent brass has lost two of the components in the firing process (the powder and the projectile) but the primer remains. (You can see the indentation the firing pin made in the primer here.) Primers are self-contained components. We can swap out the used one for a fresh one. But first we need to get the used one out of the case.
Brass is a fairly malleable metal; given the right pressure it will readily expand or bend. When the gunpowder starts burning the pressure inside the cartridge forces the case to expand and even stretch slightly, changing the case's dimensions. Before we can add fresh powder and projectiles we need to resize the case back to its original dimensions so that it will fit in the gun (magazines and chamber).
So, in short, to reload this cartridge we need to do the following:
- Remove the spent primer.
- Resize the brass case to the original dimensions.
- Insert a fresh primer.
- Add gunpowder.
- Press a new projectile into the mouth of the case.
- Apply the finishing touches.
These steps require some specially designed tools. So before I dive into the play-by-play of the reloading process let's talk about the equipment (don't worry — there's a shopping list at the bottom of the article).
The first thing on any aspiring reloader's shopping list: a reloading manual. I use Hornady's. It provides a great overview of the reloading process and offers page after page of handload "recipes": how much of a specific powder you should use in a specific cartridge with a specific bullet weight. Hornady's manual also lists "ideal" loads for reloaders looking to create the best balance of speed and accuracy for a given cartridge for a given application (hunting, self-defense, target shooting, etc.).
WARNING! The proper (i.e. safe) powder charge will differ based on the weight of the bullet you use. Heavier bullets have a lower maximum charge than light bullets. While the reason is fascinating and complex (and scheduled for an upcoming Ask Foghorn) the bottom line is critical for new reloaders.
Pay attention to bullet weight so that you never exceed the recommended maximum charge for that bullet weight.
Failure to comply usually forms a direct line between your shooting bench and the emergency room. You have been warned.
The first required piece of equipment: a press. A press makes most of the tasks associated with sizing and pressing the ammunition easier. This is a Lee Hand Press (or Thighmaster, as I've come to call it). It's unique in the reloading world. Most of the presses mount to a counter or workbench. The Hand Press, well, you know. Considering the device's low price, it's a good place to start before you invest in a monstrosity of a reloading press (especially true for apartment dwellers like myself).
Next on the list: reloading dies. A set of dies includes three bits: a deprimer / resizer, a seater and a shell holder. We'll get into these a bit more in a second, but all you need to know right now is that dies are standardized across the industry. So no matter which brand you pick they will work with any other brand of press.
Just be sure to buy the set of dies for the caliber you want to reload (you'll need a new set of dies for each new caliber). I recommend you get "full length" sizing dies; they do a better job of sizing the entire case. [Note: this article assumes you have full length dies.]
Also of great importance: a scale. We're working with gunpowder in a confined space (the chamber of your firearm). Getting the weight of that charge of gunpowder is essential not only to the accuracy of your ammunition but also your personal safety.
If you put too much gunpowder in a cartridge your gun could explode in your face, possibly killing you and/or someone you love. It has happened before and it will happen again Don't let it happen to you.
A good scale is the best step you can take to keeping yourself alive and your rounds on target. It will allow you to accurately—and thus safely—measure out each and every load. Digital scales are fine for reloading, but a simple beam balance scale is the best tool for the job.
Next up: a case trimmer. Remember how I said the case stretches as well as expands when it deforms? This tool will precisely trim-down the case back to the factory specifications.
The last piece of equipment: a set of calipers. These precisely measure the size of the case and the length of the finished cartridge. This is an important measure; a good set of calipers is a must.
Now that we have the required equipment we can start collecting brass and reloading ammunition.
This is where the process starts—a box full of spent cases. After every range trip I pick up my spent brass and put it in a pocket on my range bag. I sort it into a set of boxes back at home based on caliber. This box holds 7.62×51 NATO brass.
Heads-up! Only certain types of brass can be reloaded. "Boxer" style cases have a single central hole for the primer vent that allows the machinery to remove the primer. Other types of primers may have the hole on one side off-center. Steel or zinc cases are also not considered reloadable due to the forces required to form them back into shape. Be aware of the kind of brass you are picking up and whether it can be reloaded.
Check the manual or phone a friend. If in doubt, don't.
As you empty your brass into the collection box (or bag or whatever) inspect every piece of brass. You're looking for signs that the brass has begun to degrade, including cracks and holes in the side of the case. These will most likely appear near the base (head) of the cartridge where the pressures are greatest. If you see any stress marks on your cartridges discard them immediately.
Before we can start adding new components we need to remove the last remnants of the spent ones from the cases, specifically the primers. Your die set should include a sizing and depriming die (one single die that does both, often also called a "decapper"). It will remove the old primer by pushing it out and resize the brass to the proper dimensions at the same time.
Look for a small metal rod coming out of the sizing / depriming die. This metal rod will travel through the small hole in the base of the case (where the spark from the primer travels when the gun goes off) and push the primer out of place. The primer will fall through a hole in the shell holder and into a small tube in the bottom of the press. Remember to periodically empty that primer catching hole.
Let's take a second to setup the press with the sizing die.
First, position the shell holder plate, which should come in the die kit. (If not you can order them individually online.) These plates grip the rim of the case—much like the extractor on your firearm—and hold them in place. They will also pull the cases free of the dies once they have been pressed.
The plate slots onto the bottom of the press. The rod is held in place by friction, applied through the nut at the top of the die. If you ever need to adjust the length of the rod (if it stops pushing out primers, for example) all you need to do is loosen that nut, re-adjust the rod and tighten it back down.
Notice that the die is threaded, and there's a nut on the outside of the die. To begin, move that nut up and out of the way as you thread the die onto the upper portion of the press. Screw the die into place far enough where the bottom of the die contacts the holder positioned on the bottom when the die is closed. Then turn it 1/4 to 1/2 turns further. Once in place tighten the nut all the way down on the die to hold it in place.
Now that the press is all set up (yes?) we can start running brass through it.
Lightly apply lubricant to the exterior of the case to keep it from becoming stuck in the die. (I have three dies sitting behind me with cases stuck in them.) Lee makes a wax-based lubricant that comes in a paste tube. I highly recommend it; you can see when you have enough or too much lube on a case. The case should be slick, but you shouldn't be able to see much lube visible on the case. There are other "quicker" ways of lubing your case but I like the slow and steady method. Try to keep the lube away from the neck (the skinny part at the top) of the case.
A properly lubed case can be positioned on the shell holder and run through the press easily. Slow and steady pressure is the best method, making sure that the bottom of the sizing die touches the top of the shell plate. This can take significant force, but the mechanism of the press is doing most of the work for you.
With necked cartridges (e.g., 5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62×51 NATO, 300 AAC BLK) the sizing process as well as the firing process has slightly extruded the case and made it longer than it was when it started life on the factory floor. This extruding process causes the wear that we looked for when we poured the brass into the collection bucket back at home. Take a second look; an unhealthy case could lead to an equally unhealthy situation on the range. It happens with straight-walled cases as well (e.g., .45-70 government, 45ACP, 9mm para) but not as quickly.
Anyway, because the case has become longer we need to trim the neck down to the proper size.
We determine the proper size for a case by looking it up in our reloading manual. There are three measurements which are extremely important on this page: Maximum C.O.L., Max Case Length and Case Trim Length.
Maximum C.O.L. or Cartridge Overall Length is the maximum allowed length of the entire completed cartridge (including projectile) to fit the cartridge into the magazine and chamber of your gun. COL also has an important role to play in velocity and chamber pressure, but that's another story for a more advanced look at reloading. All you need to know right now: never exceed the listed COL, measuring from the tip of the projectile to the rear of the case.
Max Case Length is the maximum length of the case for the cartridge to fit in the chamber. If the case is too long then it could get stuck or potentially cause the chamber pressure to rise to a dangerous level (see a theme here with the death and destruction?). You do not want to exceed the maximum case length, as measured from the back of the case to the top of the mouth.
The Case Trim length is the ideal length to which you should trim the cases once they exceed the maximum case length. Somewhere between the max length and the trim length is good enough. But be aware that trimming too short could lead to accuracy issues.
How do you trim the case so precisely as to not anger the reloading Gods? Using one of these, of course!
What we have here is a miniature hand-cranked lathe. It can be precisely tuned to trim off exactly the required length of brass. In other words, it's my favorite tool of all time. This one is produced by RCBS; there are other versions available. It takes some trial and error to set up a mini-lathe (expect to throw away some brass). Once it's been locked down you can happily trim for hours on end.
After trimming, the case is usually ragged around the freshly trimmed mouth. This piece of kit—a chamfering and deburring tool—smooths out the edges. It's not required equipment, but it helps make things nice and shiny. Check the cartridge length once you're good to go.
The last step of the prep process is completely optional, but I like to do it. The brass comes out of the reloading process a little dirty (second to right). With a little polish the rounds will look factory new and probably feed better in your gun (right). Brass tumblers are available from a number of different manufacturers.
Congratulations! You now have a "prepped" piece of brass. The most time consuming and annoying parts are over. Now we can actually load a fresh round of ammunition. As we go through this section I'll throw in a little something about the consumables you'll need to purchase at each step, starting with the primers.
Primers come in all shapes and sizes; you need to figure out which ones are right for your ammunition of choice. The reloading book (well, Hornady at least) will happily tell you the primers they used in their loads. Primers are usually sold in lots of 1,000 for small primers or 100 for large primers.
Putting a new primer into cartridge = inserting it into the empty "primer pocket" at the rear of the case. Here you can see the primer pocket, and the flash hole where the spark enters the main chamber as the gun goes off (also where the deprimer rod punched out the primer). The primer is held in place by friction. The new primer needs to be "press fit" into the hole.
Before fitting a new primer check to see if there's been a crimp fitted around the previous primer hole. [NB: military ammunition usually has a primer crimp.] Look for a recessed ring around the primer pocket.The crimp makes fitting the new primer slightly more annoying, but certainly not impossible. You'll need to remove the crimp before the new primer can be seated. Otherwise, the primer may not function properly. Extract the prime using what's called a primer pocket swage (or something similar).
Now that the primer pocket is ready we can press-in a new primer. I like to use the Lee hand prime, which allows me to prime lots of brass quickly. Be aware that the hand prime needs its own special shell plate to work. Also: wear safety glasses.
NEVER prime brass which already has gunpowder in it. That could end very, very badly.
Speaking of gunpowder, that's the next step in the process.
There are a number of different types and blends of powder, and it can be a little overwhelming choosing the right one. never fear: Hornady is here! Well, their book at least.
The reloading manual will describe a number of "recipies" of powder charges for the given bullet weight and type you're using. Naturally Hornady has hand crafted their book to fit their own bullets. But as long as the weight is the same the charges indicated will be safe to use. As I said before, the powder charge will vary depending on the weight of the bullet, so be sure to pick out a bullet weight and stick with it for that specific run of ammunition.
A little powder safety first:
- Never place the powder near an open flame.
- Never mix powder from different bottles, even if it's the same company and the same name.
- NEVER exceed the maximum indicated charge (shown above in red) for a recipe.
- Never use pistol powder in a rifle cartridge unless specifically instructed to do so by a trusted source (like a reloading manual).
Now that we've picked a powder and charge we can start loading-up some primed cases. Powder weights are usually given in grains. The RCBS scales are calibrated in grains as well. Be sure to zero your scale before you start using it. Be wary of any air conditioning or fans in the area as the breeze will throw off your measurements. No, really.
You now have a primed and charged piece of brass. It's time to cap off the reload by pressing the projectile into the mouth of the case.
The first thing we need to do: swap out the die on our reloading press. The sizing die has done its job and can be unscrewed. The seating die can now take its place.
The bullet seating die installs the same way as the sizing die, only this time once the die is screwed-in to the point where it contacts the shell plate back it out 1/4 turn. After adjusting the die position and locking it into place with the nut, back out the seating adjustment knob (at the top of the die). This thingie will precisely seat the bullet so that you get the right COL on the cartridge. But we need to start way back so that we don't accidentally seat a projectile too far.
Once the press is set up simply pop a primed and charged case onto the shell holder, balance a new projectile on top and then close the press. This stage requires some finesse; you don't want to pound the thing home. Apply just enough pressure to pop the bullet into the mouth, then stop pressing when you feel the press starting to give resistance. Check to make sure your round meets the right COL, adjust and re-press as required.
Congratulations! You've made a single round of ammunition! Now to do it again and again and again and again…
Reloading 300 AAC BLK is only slightly more complicated, but the basic steps are the same. Here's a video I did a while back illustrating how to reload.

Caveat Lector: I'm not a pro; use this data at your own risk.
.45 Auto: Remington case, Winchester Large Pistol primer, Suter's Choice 185gr LSWC, 5.6gr of Unique, 1.19″ COaL. Makes major for USPSA/IPSC, shoots to point-of-aim out of my Kimber, easy on the wrist, easy on the cases. I've yet to recover one of my cases that needed trimming.
Have you chrono'd your load? It might run faster than what you need to make major. Depending on how many standards of deviation you're looking at.
230gr lead round nose (Mo Bullet Co or Roger's Better Bullets) and 5.4gr of Unique and CCI primers do 730-750 fps out of a 5″ bbl Kimber.
On your typical spring day here in Minnesota, these average around 920-925 fps. As I need 892 to make major with a 185gr pill, I think this gives me a nice cushion should the weather on range day be unusually cold.
Ahhh, I haven't found Unique to vary too much in velocities from 50-90F.
Probably true. However, my local club has a match called the "Blizzard Blast", usually held end of February or beginning of March. It's the official start of the season for us. I'm told that they've been shooting at temperatures as low as -20F. At the other end of the season is a 3-gun match, in October. You'll forgive me if your 50-90F data does not match my situation. 😉
Haha, yeah I know… I used to live in the UP. So I'm well aware of the winters. 😀
This may sound unusual but I collect and crack black walnuts in my vise, very difficult . I was looking online for nut crackers and thought what about my RCBS Rock Chuck-er. With different screw in top die and bottom die made in machine shop, do you think this would double as a nut cracker ? Don't yell at me. I worked as a Millwright all my life and know a good thing when I see it. I just wanted your opinion. Don
For some great reloading info and quality videos check out:
You mention brass tumblers, but you aren't recommending tumbling the entire cartridge after it is complete, right?
I usually do this with the brass cases before the whole reloading process, or put them in the tumbler before storing the spent cases.
You want to be careful with tumbling completed cartridges as it can cause the powder to "break down" inside the case (although it's not very likely). This can cause erratic and potentially dangerous burn characteristics when fired.
Yeah, like Adam points out, tumbling the loaded rounds is generally considered to be a bad idea.
The explanation that I've heard is that the powder grains in the loaded round might change geometry (e.g. grains of a "stick" powder might break into smaller sticks).
Anyway, great post Nick. I always enjoy the Ask Foghorn installments. Keep 'em coming.
You want to tumble/clean brass before reloading. As it can break down the powder, causing a change in burn rates. And as Nick likes to emphasize can lead to injury or death.
There's another method you can use, like ultrasonic cleaners (using a liquid solution). The idea behind cleaning is to not only make the brass pretty, but to remove carbon fouling and dirt. Which can scratch and ruin your dies. Using the ultrasonic method and solution can cause powder fouling, resulting in no bang, and bullet lodged in barrel.
Expanding on recommended reloading gear and the bullet puller is good to have. Whether it's a collet or inertia/hammer type. Which is great for when you seat a bullet too deep, or forget to charge a cartridge with powder.
"or forget to charge a cartridge with powder."
There are two types of reloaders: those who have forgotten to charge a case, and those who will. Thankfully, I don't know of anyone who has done it more than once. Having to clear your barrel of the result usually leaves a distinct impression on the reloader.
Haha, I'll admit to doing it. From time to time. Usually when setting up a new load/caliber on my AP press.
Usually happens when I short stroke my press, and don't seat a primer. And put it back under the wrong turret. Powder check/lockout dies are great for preventing this.
Powder check/lockout dies are great
Using progressive presses, emphatically yes. The powder cop die has saved me several times.
I use RCBS's lock out die. Keeps you from advancing the press if over/under charged. That way you don't have to look at it. Only downside is that it's primarily for handgun calibers.
My favorite .308 "Match" load is as follows. It has shot well in EVERY single .308 that I've shot it out of.
– Lapua brass
– Fed 210M Primers
– 168-grain SMK (Sierra MatchKing)
– 43.5 grains of IMR 4064
– TTL=minimum
– Primer pockets cleaned and uninformed.
About how many rounds per hour do you think you crank out with the hand press?
What are the other options for presses?
I'm planning to get into reloading when I get back from basic and this article was excellent in getting me more informed.
I use an RCBS Partner press, and it was/is my first and only press. Got it used for about $40. It works well if you have a bench to mount it to (I used an old workbench I built and don't use for woodworking anymore). I am not sure about the handheld presses, but I find the basic single stage press to work fine for my needs. I don't think you need a progressive press to start (in fact it may lead to mistakes if you aren't careful), and I can load about 100 basic handgun (.38 spc) rounds per hour and a half or so. Then again, I take my time at every step to minimize the chances of a mistake. I really enjoy the process of doing it and find it relaxing. YMMV depending on your scale, powder dispensing method, and pace…
I just did some follow up after asking the above question…
It seems most of the internet concludes tumbling loaded ammo is fine.
I was just curious because I never thought about doing it that way. Are there any benefits, or is it because you load your rifle rounds with case lube and want to get that off?
Great article, thanks.
Great starter article Nick. I've only just joined the ranks of reloaders, but instead of baby steps, a Dillon XL650 somehow found it's way into my apartment.
Since I was starting from basically 0 (except for a few thousand pieces of range-pickup), I did have to make a major cash outlay to get really going. I'd cry i did the real math, but using "kentucky" arithmetic, I'm at about $1800 including 2k bullets, 7k primers, 5lbs of various powder to run test loads.
It may sound like a lot, but since I'm shooting mainly .45ACP, and cases of even bulk ammo are easily $400 + shipping, I'll start saving money right around 8-9k rounds.
Given that I've shot 3k since the beginning of the year, I'll be about even by 2013.
What makes it even more affordable is getting a couple shooting buddies to kick-in on the consumables (either buying components or cash donations). If my loads meet their standards, I can easily expect to be even on $1800 by summer's end.
What goes without saying is that the calculus of satisfaction of developing, testing and scoring your *own* loads is a HUGE return on investment; I don't believe I've ever had so much fun shooting at static targets.
After reading this I realized there isn't yet an "Ask Foghorn" on making Bullets. I think it would be a good idea for a future Ask Foghorn.
putting my shopping list together to heading to the store!!!
I will never buy ammo again!
Oh one question..
Will ranges get upset if you are picking up brass off the floor that isn't yours? I mean if you put together a ton of 9mm and sell it to friends it could fund your trips to the ranges at minimum.
Yeah yeah I know lots of laws regarding ammo sales and such, but I won't go there..
Depends on the range. Some ranges won't let you pick up brass, even if its your own. As they resell it. Also, some ranges won't let you fire reloaded ammo. It doesn't hurt to ask the rangemaster if it's ok. But if not, and it's on the ground… Fair game is a safe assumption.
With picking up range brass do so at your own risk. You don't know if it was factory loaded, how many times fired, etc. I like to keep track of how many times I've fired my brass, because of wear from extraction.
Also if you're trying to squeeze every bit of accuracy out of a cartridge, you'll be more discriminating with brass. You'll only use brass that's been fired from a particular chamber. This is more prevalent with rifles than handgun cartridges. Where the case will form to the chamber eliminating "play." In place of using a full-length sizing die you'll use a neck sizing die.
picking up range brass do so at your own risk
Some folks feel that this is especially true for .40 S&W. Glocks, or at least older Glocks, don't support the brass completely leading to the dreaded "Glock bulge." Full length sizing dies are supposed to deal with this.
Some ranges get pissy, but most won't. One range I go to encourages you to pick up after yourself (it's a sportsman club), one prefers you sweep up but leave stuff in their buckets, one indoor one has brass catchers that ferret your brass away in the first place. So just ask around.
Thanks for the feedback. I am assuming you could also ask to buy brass too and then hand pick rounds, and buy them by weight. I do understand about being picky and agree! For those who do this as a business I could not imagine that they only reload rounds they fired themselves, or had a complete history on. None the less I am sure if we as individuals do this our rounds could potentially be much better. Plus if you collect lets say you and your friends go to the range, pick up all 200 + rounds, you know it is fresh ammo, and then you can track it's history so you know the casing is clean.
This was exactly what I was looking for Nick, thanks! I've already got a reloading manual on the way.
One other question. Do you tumble your brass post primer removal pre rebuild? I know it was mentioned as a last step but I would figure you wouldn't tumble live ammo.
In Nick's setup, and most others that I'm aware of. You tumble with the used primer(s) still in place. If you were to remove the primers and then tumble what can happen is that media (what cleans the brass – often corn cob or walnut shell based) will clog the flash hole. This of course will depend on the size of the media.
Yup I totally didn't think about that, so get back from the range, pop the box of rounds into the tumbler and watch some baseball or hockey while they clean up..
Then relax and De-prime everything.
Put on some smooth jazz and start lubing and resizing lol
The process sounds as much a meditative hobby as it is a cost savings!
Put on some smooth jazz and start lubing and resizing lol…..
Are we still talking about reloading?
You get a better reloading experience after wining and dining…
I know with the setup I use (Hornady Lock and Load Auto Progressive press and dies) the handgun dies use a titanium nitride finish; which don't need lube. I don't know about other brands of dies though. But dies for rifles or anything that isn't a straight wall benefits from using some lube.
Nick doesn't mention it, but I've found that using a dry lube like mica powder for the case neck will help prevent a mess from being made when charging. What happens from liquid case lubes is they become "gummy" and causes the powder to stick to it preventing all the powder from going into the brass. This really becomes a problem with smaller diameter calibers.
Tumbling with stainless steel pins, a wet process, is supposed to totally clean the insides of the case and the primer pocket. Unfortunately this is also a messy operation and more expensive to buy into.
That sounds really interesting… But I'm skeptical on how it won't shot-peen and harden the cases.
I use a little Dillon Square Deal B pistol caliber only progressive press and will use the depriming/resizing stage and then clean and polish the deprimed brass. Sometimes a little help is needed from a primer pocket brush. If the range brass is just too dirty to get near my dies, I will do a quick clean then deprime and a full clean and polish. I use walnut media due to the issues Ken mentions regarding corn cob media.
Bravo Mr Leghorn I requested a post like this a few months ago you pretty much covered everything in this post, good job. I have been "rolling my own" for a few years now and nothing makes you feel more independent from "the man" than this hobby….well making your own beer is right up there also but that's a different story (and blog site)
So if you are reloading, brewing and throw in wine making to boot then you are independent? 🙂
Nick, great timely article. An older friend of mine is getting out of reloading and has agreed to sell me his two presses (one is a Lee and the other a RCBS Rock Chocker, I think) plus three sets of dies ( 45ACP, 44, and 9MM) and all of the stuff that goes with it for $250.00. I'd love to have a progressive like a Lee or Dillon, but the cost is out of my reach. So, once again thanks for the info.
Progressive presses, aren't that expensive. Yeah, there's more outlay versus the thighmaster. But a 3 station press from Lee starts at $150 on Midway. I have a Lock-n-Load from Hornady which is comparable to a Dillon 650 but less expensive. When I bought mine, there was also $100 in bullet rebates.
To me the extra turrets are great. As it lets me run other dies as well, instead of trying to get it all done in 3 stations. I use a powder check and lockout die, separate crimping dies, collet puller, etc.
Ken, I'm only going by info the guy at a very reputable reloading store told me. I was looking at the Dillon which was around $399.99, and asked him about cost outlay, and he said that by the time you bought everything you needed, it would probably end up around $800.00. Which if true, I'd rather know the total cost upfront, then get shocked after I bought the initial press and found I needed all this other stuff. Hopefully he was being truthful, for I am just getting interested in this, and don't have all of the info.
That $800 figure is probably a little high, but not by much. Back when I started, I had to spend about the same amount as the progressive press for all the support accessories needed to reload: Scale, flip tray, case gauge, calipers, tumbler and media, etc…
If you start with your friend's single stage kit you can still upgrade to a progressive later and probably only need to buy the press itself since you will already have the dies and many other needed accessories.
Mike's pretty spot on with his comment. The only additional cost you'll probably have with an AP setup is needing the press specific plate. But it really depends how complicated of a setup you want to get. Most of the things that come with a starter kit will be pretty good at producing a consistent product. Especially if you're only loading one type of round and aren't continually fiddling with things. Things might start getting expensive when you start getting more things to make changing over to different setups easier. But things like super fine metering inserts may be overkill depending on the powder, and tolerance.
When I got my LnL AP press I ended up getting $150 in free bullets from Hornady. I think I spent maybe 500-600 in reloading stuff to get setup (press, .45 dies, .45 plate, tumbler, caliper, scale, inertia puller, and flip tray). So it's not too bad.
Just a heads up for those living in apartments, check first.
In some place (example:Maryland) it is illegal to store and have bulk powder (including black powder) in a rental property. Other places it may be express forbidden by your lease or condo association, so unless you want your stuff on the curb, quietly check first.
Yeah, explosives are forbidden in my lease, so no reloading for me unfortunately. I'm trying to talk my brother into going halves on a reloading press so we could keep in his basement. We'll see if he goes for it.
I stumbled upon this site and approve! Heartily!
Having reloaded my first .45 Auto round in 1980, and having continued to do so ever since (plus another 18 calibers), I will have to say Your article on the beginner's reloading process is perhaps the finest I have ever read in so few column inches. Well done, Sir!
"Loading in the shadow of the Alamo ennobles the pursuit of ballistic perfection!"
Nice article. I appreciated it and the comments.
I had a friend who had a deluxe reloader in his basement; but it was for shotgun shells.
Nick, something of a nitpick here: Early in the article you list bullet point items which you expand upon later and one of them could be dangerous if taken at face value as written: "Fill the case with gunpowder." You fully explain the correct process later on, but that one point might be better if written along the lines of: "Add the proper amount of powder." /end nitpick
Great article, Nick! I have been reloading since 1977, both pistol and rifle cartridges.
I use a Lee Turret Press (Progressive 3-dies) for Pistol and RCBS "Rockchucker" (single stage) for Rifle.
New reloaders should check online with RCBS, Dillon and Lee, as they often have package deals where you get a Press, Dies, Scale, Powder Measure, Dial Caliper and so forth at a good price (cheaper than buying the equipment piece-by-piece).
I use Lee Carbide Sizing Dies for pistol, as they do not require lube. Many manufacturers make Carbide Sizing Dies and they last for years. Rifle cartridges (except in pistol calibers) require lube because of the case shoulder and neck down.
I strongly would advise against Tumbling loaded rounds. Due to powder degradation, friction and the wild chance of somehow igniting a round, this could be very dangerous. Even a .223 round igniting inside a Tumbler with other loaded rounds could cause a life-changing disaster.
Reloading is fun, money-saving, and relaxing. I think the best part is that you CAN tailor cartridges for optimal performance to each Pistol or Rifle you own and the results are satisfying and sometimes surprising. Specifically, a firearm that does not seem to shoot well with whatever manufactured brand you can find in the stores or online suddenly becomes a great-shooter with the right handload. I have seen this happen for myself and others I have shot with over the years.
For all who decide to take up this great pastime, best wishes and ENJOY!
RCBS offers 'second' presses for half off.
These are presses that have painting flaws,
a nick on the handle ball and things like that.
Purely cosmetic.
Got my Rock Chucker for something like $85.
Works great.
I've tumbled my brass as the first step in the process of reloading.
This keeps the dies cleaner and prevents them from becoming scratched inside due to any grit that may have been picked up along with the brass.
Ultrasonic cleaners anyone?
There is a long thread on the M1911 board about tumbling finished rounds.
I Love My Country!
Excellent basic article.
Couple of points I'd add:
In addition to bullet weight, composition changes the recommended powder load. More important in pistol calibers, but loads for jacketed bullets do not transfer to plain lead slugs or vice versa.
You explain the process for a typical bottle neck rifle cartridge. Straight wall ammo whether rifle or pistol is a tad more complicated and requires belling the case mouth slightly to prevent case or bullet damage during the seating process.
I always recommend that a new reloader start with a heavy duty single stage press. Many want to leap straight into high end progressives, but I really want them to get a full understanding of each step in the process first.
You can still get a solid press, beam scale, and set of dies for under $200. Sure, you're going to spend a lot more on tools and other goodies that make the process better and easier, but it's best to get the basics under your belt first, then you'll know what you really need to enhance the experience.
+1 for a solid press to start with. My first press was an RCBS Rockchucker and 25 years later I still have and use it exclusively.
For those who would like to hand deprime a brass case before cleaning, & without using a press I whole heartedly recommend the Harvey Deprimer. Another advantage is that you do not have to send a dirty case into your resizing die possibly scratching & damaging it, which will shorten it's useful life. I have used the Harvey Deprimer to hand deprime my current crop of 12 calibers .380 ACP to 300 WSM, along with many other calibers at the range to show interested people.

Note: I do not receive any money or benefits from praising this product, nor am I in business with or related to Mr. Harvey.
One thing that can never be said often enough: never overcharge a cartridge with powder. Don't trust your process. Know what a properly filled case looks like and do a visual check before seating a bullet. Especially on progressive presses.
I got lucky. My 1911 is equipped with steel reinforced rubber grips. When a case breech occurred from unnoticed overfilling, the gases were vented through the mag, not my hand.
Every remaining cartridge I had made to that point was weighed and about half disassembled and rebuilt.
Eyeballs work better than lockout or powder check dies. They're cheap and readily available too. Use them.
"do a visual check before seating a bullet"
+1,000. That can't be emphasized enough.
Great article, I've just started reloading so this was a good read. One thing I wonder is you and others online mention to look for signs of cases degrading, and I have also heard of looking for signs of high pressure. Any chance you can post some photos of what those coditions look like?
On straight wall cases, they will eventually get thin. Fortunately, they're small enough that you'll likely lose them before they wear out. You should inspect them for flaws all the same. Look for cracks, deep scratches, dents that won't come out in the sizer, etc. (you'd be surprised what the sizing die will fix)
Get the Hornady Reloading Handbook if you want to see horror pictures with bottle-neck cases. Cracking is the usual problem. The neck gets thinned down and eventually splits. I'm not yet loading bottle neck rounds, so I can only report third hand.
Oh, and to comply with the request above, I use the following recipe for 45ACP:
– Winchester case, deprimed, ultrasonically cleaned and inspected
– Winchester Large Pistol primers
– Winchester 231 Powder, 4.5 gr ± 0.1 gr
– Hornady 230gr FMJ-FP bullet
Mix in your favorite Hornady LNL AP or other progressive press and you get 100 rds in about 40 minutes to an hour depending on setup. Yes I read about people assembling rounds at higher rates than that, but after the aforementioned case breach, I'm persuaded to be slow and careful.
For what it's worth, I'm saving about 7 cents a round over Winchester White Box at Wal Mart which is roughly the same round. It's not much, but if you shoot 3000-4000 rounds a year, it adds up.

Hi Guys,
New here and have tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm after.
Basically I want to create a registration form for a website using PHP and MySQL. The form needs to have all the standard fields like:
But I also want to have a couple of extra questions in the form, these are:
Gender - Now am I right in thinking I should use ENUM for this with the values ('m','f') ??
My next two are the ones that I'm totally stuck on, I want to have one question in the form that has a drop down box as the choices, for example:
Q. How often to you exercise?Then the answers: 1 a week, 2 week, 3 a week, 4 or more a week
The other one is I'd like to have check boxes as the possible answers.
Now, I'm struggling to figure out where to go here, I have my page built with PHP and the form inside it, and I'm happy to build the table in MySQL but I don't know what to set the values for those two answer categories as? Am I right in thinking that the answers need to be selected from a different pre-built table with the choices defined? If so, how do I do so and then save the selected choices in the "users" table that will store the data for my new registered user?
I hope I've made sense?
Many thanks in advance guys!
Welcome to SitePoint!
The question I'm going to ask to better answer you is this;
What do you want to be able to DO with the data?
Hi StarLion,
Thanks for replying!
Ok, so for the one that is (in my head) a drop down selector, once the data has been submitted by the user and they've registered. I essentially want to be able to run queries and select only the users who chose "2 a week" or run a query that selects only the people that chose "5 or more" etc
Does that make sense?
I guess I'm just wanting to know how the best way to use PHP and MySQL to record information selected from a drop down box, into my "users" table so that I can in future, run queries based on their responses.
I hope I'm making sense!
Thanks again.
If you expect to have multiple selections for the checkox question I would recommend keeping the values in an array, receive that array on the other end and loop through it to save into your database..
I don't understand why you want to provide check boxes for a question that can only have 1 answer. Surely, radio buttons or a drop-down would be preferable. Unless I've got the wrong end of the stick??
Hi, sorry - yes that's the one that I want for a drop down but am struggling to know how to do it??
The one with check boxes I'd like to have a choice of answers for example favourite sports and they then select from a list by putting a check in the box.
But it's the drop down with the exercise habits that I'm really stuck on.
Is this what you mean? The selected value will be parsed with the rest of your form data:
<select name="exercise_habits">
<option value="Once a week">Once a week</option>
<option value="Twice a week">Twice a week</option>
<option value="Three times a week">Three times a week</option>
<option value="Four or more times a week">Four or more times a week</option>
or.. you could just give the values as 1,2,3,4 and not parse them other than to check if they're an INT

KEENE, N.H. – The first ever Little East Conference Field Hockey Championship belongs to Keene State College.
KSC's Ally Huetz, named tournament MVP, had two goals to lead the Owls to a 3-1 victory over rival Plymouth State College in the LEC Championship game Sunday afternoon at Owl Stadium Complex.
The top seed in the tournament, KSC advanced to the championship after a 2-0 win over Southern Maine while the Panthers, the third seed, shutout second seed UMass-Dartmouth, 4-0.
"Everyone on our team played really well in the tournament," said PSC head coach Abby Burbank. "I thought both teams played well Sunday. They beat us to the ball a few times, and they converted their chances."
All four goals in Sunday's title game came off of penalty corners. Keene State got on the board first when Huetz scored on a rebound four minutes into the game. Amy Wallace got the eventual game-winning goal, her 11th of the season, midway through the half off another corner opportunity.
Plymouth State, which finishes the season at 8-9 overall, fought back to get within one (2-1) on a second-half goal by freshman Katie Dodge (Sanbornton, NH). It was just the second goal scored against KSC on the Owl Stadium turf this season. But KSC would come back with an important insurance tally when Huetz was at the right place at the right time to knock in another penalty corner rebound.
"There were times in the midfield when they stepped up better than we did," said Burbank. "Keene State is fine tuned on its corners, and they did a nice job with them."
The Owls had plenty incentive entering the game. Still in the hunt for a NCAA Tournament bid, KSC was also looking to avenge an early season 3-1 loss to the Panthers. It is the second straight year PSC's season has ended with a post-season loss to Keene State.
Three Panthers were selected to the LEC All-Tournament Team – senior Sarah Mello (Oak Bluffs, MA), junior Jill Sutherland (Rockport, MA) and freshman Nicole Lauriat (Greenfield, MA). Sutherland scored three goals in PSC's 4-0 semi-final win over UMass Dartmouth, and added an assist in the title game. She finishes her junior year in 13th place on PSC's all-time scoring list with 54 points (22 goals, 10 assists.)
Plymouth State's victory over UMD in the semi-finals avenged a 1-0 overtime loss at the hands of the Corsairs last Saturday (October 24) that cost the Panthers the outright regular season championship and the top seed in the tournament.
The Panthers scored twice in a span of 19 seconds midway through the first half. Sutherland made it 1-0 on a tip in, and Katie Dodge (Sanbornton, N.H.) gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead. Sutherland added two more goals in the second half for her hat trick.
Junior Chris Perruzzi (South Portland, Maine) and freshman Leia Bridgham (Plymouth, N.H.) combined for PSC's third shutout this season.
Sarah Tuxbury – Back (UMass-Dartmouth)
Alexandra Wildes – Forward (UMass-Dartmouth)
Tara Giroux – Back/Midfield (Southern Maine)
Alison Drury-Forward (Southern Maine)
Jill Sutherland- Forward (Plymouth State)

Sting has once again updated its Evolution 2 page, this time with some sketches of the game's characters. As someone who holds a great appreciation for all things cute, let me tell 'ya, these babies are cute and then some!
Also revealed by Sting is that the game will feature full voice acting, something that was lacking in part 1. Among the voice actors are Miki Takahashi as Linear, Akio Ootsuka (who also worked on Metal Gear Solid and Mobile Suite Gundam) as Gre, Kikuko Inoue as Pepper Box, Shouji Satou (who also worked on Doraemon, Metal Gear Solid, and Pokemon) as newcomer Karuka, and Souichirou Hoshi as newcomer Yuruka.
Expect a full preview of the game soon, but be sure and check out the character sketches, as well as all the other pictures of the game we've put up over the previous weeks.

NEWLY ADDED TO OUR READ SECTION: In commemoration of the god Rakim's upcoming birthday (January 28th), close friend and longtime egotripland contributor Michael A. Gonzales has been so kind as to bless us with a brand new preface to his excellent profile on the R, which was originally published in ego trip magazine issue #11 back in 1997. The respected journalist, who is the contributing editor of HYCIDE , the co-editor of the erotica journal Open and a regular blogger at blackadelicpop , caught up with Rakim shortly before the release of the The 18th Letter album and got the MC to open up about early childhood memories of rhyming, his working relationship with Eric B and his experience collaborating with DJ Premier. It's a compelling read, to say the least.
P.S. To read more from Michael A. Gonzales, check out his recently completed essay on Bad Boy Records for the forthcoming One More Robot #9 HERE .

Research is under way to better control mycotoxins in grain crops.
According to researchers at Biomin, a two-pronged approach is needed to deactivate the toxic effect of these organisms:
The mycotoxins must be absorbed.
And their fungal metabolites must be biologically degraded.
Therefore, the researchers are working on the next generation of products to control and/or prevent the adverse effects of these organisms, especially in corn.

Energy, Environment, Security: Can We Have It All?
MPS Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Steven Koonin, Chief Scientist of BP
October 27, 2008 10:00 AM
October 27, 2008 11:00 AM
Stafford II-555
The world's demand for energy will grow by some 60% in the next 25 years. Satisfying that demand in an economical and environmentally acceptable manner is one of the most significant challenges facing society. New technologies will play a central role in meeting this challenge, albeit conditioned by the economic, social, and political contexts in which they are developed and deployed. The presentation will focus on the major forces shaping the world's energy future and the technologies required to respond to them.
Steven E. Koonin was born in Brooklyn, New York and educated at Caltech (B.S. in physics), and at MIT (Ph.D. in theoretical physics). He joined the Caltech faculty in 1975, becoming a full professor in 1981 and serving as Provost from 1995 to 2004.
Koonin left Caltech in March 2004 to become BP's Chief Scientist. BP is the world's second largest independent oil company. It refines and markets petroleum products in more than 100 countries and serves more than 13 million customers each day. Among the well-know BP brands in the US are Arco, Amoco and Castrol. In his capacity as Chief Scientist, Koonin is responsible for BP's long range technology plans and activities, particularly those "beyond petroleum."
In 1975-76, Koonin received the Caltech Associated Students Teaching Award and in 1985 the Humboldt Senior Scientist Award. In 1999, he received the prestigious E.O. Lawrence Award in Physics from the Department of Energy. Dr. Koonin has served on a number of advisory committees for the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense and its various national laboratories. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research interests include theoretical nuclear, many-body, and computational physics, nuclear astrophysics, and global environmental science.

Hanoi (AFP) Sept 21, 2012
Three high-profile Vietnamese bloggers, including one whose case has been raised by US President Barack Obama, are set to go on trial Monday for "anti-state propaganda", a lawyer told AFP.
Nguyen Van Hai, alias Dieu Cay, who has been in detention since September 2008, will go on trial alongside Phan Thanh Hai and policewoman-turned-dissident Ta Phong Tan, lawyer Ha Huy Son said Friday.
"They will be tried under article 88 of the Criminal Code", which covers conducting propaganda against the one-party communist state and carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, said Son, who will represent Dieu Cay.
The trial has been repeatedly postponed, most recently in August after Tan's mother committed suicide by setting herself on fire in front of a local authority building to protest the detention of her daughter, who was arrested in 2011.
Phan Thanh Hai, who blogs under the name Anhbasg, was arrested in 2010.
Nguyen Van Hai was arrested in 2008 and jailed for 2.5 years that September for tax fraud.
Experts said his closed-door trial was likely punishment for his criticism of the government's handling of tensions with Beijing over the South China Sea.
The trio are all accused of posting political articles on the banned Vietnamese website "Free Journalists Club" as well as writing on their own blogs, denouncing corruption and injustice and criticising Hanoi's foreign policy.
In May, Obama said "we must not forget (journalists) like blogger Dieu Cay, whose 2008 arrest coincided with a mass crackdown on citizen journalism in Vietnam".
Human Rights Watch on Friday urged Vietnam to drop all charges against the three and immediately release them.
"Vietnam needs to hear the message that silencing critics and locking up bloggers is not going to help the country solve its problems," said Brad Adams, Asia director at HRW.
Communist Vietnam bans private media -- all newspapers and television channels are state-run. Charges of spreading anti-state propaganda are routinely used to prosecute dissidents.

Jessica Simpson Losers
March 14, 2012 by staff
Jessica Simpson Losers, This week, "The Biggest Loser" (Tue., 8 p.m. ET on NBC) lost a half hour of its running time so NBC could premiere a super-sized episode of "Fashion Star." And to commemorate the premiere, because they plan these things in advance, Jessica Simpsons pulled double-duty on the night. The clearly pregnant Simpson was part of a prize package on "Loser" in anticipation of her "Star" debut.
In a white elephant challenge, Jeremy gave up his first place prize of a celebrity shopping spree to his sister Conda in exchange for a goldfish. Conda took Kim with her, which created an interesting shift in the visible alliances in the house. Emily and Kim were clearly on the outs with everyone else, but then Conda reached out to Kim, so does this mean Conda isn't as solid with everyone else? If not, that would put Jeremy in play as well.
The biggest shift of the week came after Cassandra was voted out last week. At that moment, Alison revealed that they were going to singles. Trainers would stay the same, but it was every man and woman for themselves on the scale. The episode put a pretty notable emphasis on Kimmy conquering her fear of heights and finding herself as a woman, and Emily's struggles to figure out who she wants to be and find a belief in herself.
So it wasn't too big of a surprise when it was these two women who fell below the season's first yellow line. As this is a season where the focus is on getting rid of potential threats toward the top prize, it was a no-brainer that Emily would be the one sent home. Kim's vote to save her was expected, but once again Conda threw a bit of a surprise by throwing her support Emily's way as well.

Asus is bringing three ZenFone 2 models to Europe, all running Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.
First we have the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML, which is the series' flagship, offering features like a 5.5-inch 1080p display, a 64-bit quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor clocked at 2.34 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, 5 MP front-facing camera, 13 MP rear camera, and 32 GB of internal memory. For a limited period of time, Asus France will sell the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML for just €299 (its regular price will be €349).
The second ZenFone 2 model, the ZE550ML, also comes with a 5.5-inch screen, but its resolution is of only 720 x 1280 pixels. The ZE550ML further features a quad-core 1.8 GHz Intel Atom Z3560 processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of storage space. The handset costs €249.
Finally, the cheapest ZenFone 2 is the ZE500CL, which offers a 5-inch 720p display, a dual-core 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z2560 processor, 2 MP front-facing camera, 8 MP rear camera, 2 GB of RAM, and 8 GB of internal memory. Asus will sell the ZE500CL for €179.
We assume that Asus will soon launch the ZenFone 2 in other European markets, as well as in North America (where the 5-inch ZE500CL model is already available, though not directly from Asus).

Jessica Biel: Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful
Jessica Biel appears on the cover of next month's Allure magazine, looking as hot as ever.
And guess what? She's sick and tired of being judged for her good looks, which she claims are hurting her career! She says, "Yeah, it really is a problem. I have to be blunt."
"I'm in there with everybody else, fighting for the good parts. Yes, The Illusionist has made a difference — but a huge, massive difference, so I can pick and choose what I want? No. I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, don't hire me! But if you don't want to even see me — that's hurtful. And why? You know nothing about me!"
Her last movie Powder Blue, where she plays a stripper, is going straight to DVD, and lately she's been known for relationship with Justin Timberlake more than anything else.
But she reveals that she has things to do before she gets tied down. "I have no idea if I want to get married," she says. "I have a lot to do careerwise."
Readers, have your say: Does it bother you that Jessica Biel is complaining about her looks?

Fantasy Five Link Friday: April 1, 2011
Overnight, it snowed in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic US. Luckily enough for many of us, 20 MLB teams are taking the field today for Opening Day 2011 in much warmer locales. If you're lucky enough to be in one of these warmer climates, enjoy the day's games!
If you're in a snowy area and still find yourself going to the ballpark today, bundle up and make sure the usher towels off your seat for ya… even if it is just a $10 seat.
Every Friday during the season, the plan this season is to share a smattering of baseball links from around the tubes. I'd like to think that all of them will be fantasy baseball related to some degree, but I'm not going to guarantee that. Thanks to the crack editorial staffs at places like Yardbarker and Five Link Friday…

Over the summer, JOB complained that he couldn't win because he didn't have good defensive players.
Larry Bird went out and got him Watson, DJones, and Solo.
When Murphy and TJ were injured, the new defensive players, much needed in order to win according to JOB, got lots of minutes and went on a five game winning streak, the longest in JOB's career as the Pacers coach.
The last few games, JOB has decreased the minutes of the defensive players he asked for over the summer to win games: Watson, DJones, and Solo.
For me, JOB does not back up his talk with action.

How could anyone not know that Anna Nicole Smith, semi-iconic something or other, died suddenly last week, just a few months after giving birth to a baby girl and losing her 20-year-old son to a drug overdose? And was she actually married to her lawyer, Howard K. Stern? Was he the father of her baby? Or was it a photographer ... or Zsa Zsa Gabor's current husband, the Prince? Or was she inseminated with her dead billionaire husband's sperm? Would Anna Nicole, or her estate I guess, be entitled to any of her late husband's fortune? And finally — who exactly was Anna Nicole Smith?
She was Vickie Lynn Hogan from Mexia, Tex. She was a ninth-grade dropout, then a single mom who worked as a waitress and topless dancer, and ultimately became Playboy's Playmate of the Year. She danced her way into a lucrative marriage with a really old Texas oil billionaire and inherited a fortune — and a big court fight — when he died less than two years later. She was blonde and bosomy with a blank expression and a red-carpet smile.
If she was brunette, flat-chested, and had a college degree, would so many of us have cared quite so much?
I don't mean to sound harsh — a woman is dead, her young daughter is motherless — but the attention paid to this tabloid star's demise is embarrassing.
It's a vicious cycle; does the attention and hysteria make the attention and hysteria more valid?
Are we watching because we're interested, or because that's what we're being fed?
I can see the newsroom frenzy: Let's see, there's the war in Iraq, but that's a downer; nothing's new in New Orleans; and Scooter Libby's trial —what is that all about anyway? Back burner that. We'll go live to Florida. Any video of Anna Nicole's body being moved?
It's the sad result of what Newsweek calls the "Girls Gone Wild Effect." Maybe it's time to stop rubbernecking the human train wrecks, and pay more attention to people who actually contribute something positive to our lives.
If every generation gets the celebrities it deserves we're in trouble — with all due respect.
