Generating a Sphere

I need to generate a 2" diameter 1/2 sphere in a block of aluminum
to create a mold. I have a Milltronics Partner 3 axis cnc mill. How
do I go about programing this. I assume I need to use a ball end
mill (3/4"?) and make a series of decreasing concentric circular
passes until I reach of a depth of 1".
