The Crucible
by Arthur Miller
Analysis: Genre
The Crucible is a four-act dramatic play, produced on Broadway and later made into a film. It uses pure dialogue to convey the tension, resolution, and themes, with a few directions for action. It was intended to be performed rather than read. Though most people nowadays experience the play on the page, it really works best as a stage production.

The fungus that causes European canker, Nectria galligena, survives the summer as mycelia in shoot
and branch cankers. Cool, wet weather in fall and winter stimulates the formation of spore-bearing structures
on cankers. Spores are moved by splashing rain and commonly infect leaf scars on young shoots and spurs.
Leaf scars are most susceptible to infection during the first hour after leaf fall.
Once infection takes place, the fungus slowly penetrates
bark tissue. Lesions become apparent 2 to 3 months later.
Cankers are formed and may encircle and kill twigs and small
branches. The fungus may cease activity when the weather
warms up and then resumes development when conditions that
favor it return.

Did interplanetary dust seed life on Earth?
Aug 10, 2001
Low-energy protons in the solar wind could have transformed space-borne carbon compounds into the seeds of life on Earth. A simulation of the young solar system suggests that the interaction of protons with interplanetary dust containing anthracene produced biological molecules called quinones, which exist in most living organisms. According to Lubomir Gabla and co-workers of Jagiellonian University in Poland, this suggests that the precursors of life are more likely to have reached Earth in the form of dust than during a comet impact (M Tuleta et al 2001 Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 078103).
The simple organic compounds that exist in interstellar space and the solar system are thought to originate from late-type giant stars. Anthracene is one such compound, and contains 14 carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen atoms arranged into three rings. Micrometre-sized dust grains in the solar system often contain frozen anthracene and water.
To simulate conditions in interplanetary space, Gabla and colleagues cooled a thin layer of anthracene to 150 kelvin and placed it inside a vacuum. The sample was bombarded with 3.5 keV protons, a similar energy to those in the solar wind. A stream of water vapour directed at the sample mimicked the effect of the evaporating water.
After the anthracene had received around 1017 protons per square centimetre - equivalent to around 100 years of solar wind, under current conditions - Gabla's team found that a yellowish-brown crust had emerged on the previously white surface. Mass spectrometry revealed that the crust consisted of a wide variety of quinone molecules.
"To our knowledge, this is the first time it has been shown that biological molecules can be formed from the interaction of low-energy protons and non-biological molecules", Gabla told PhysicsWeb.
Low-energy protons such as those found in the solar wind can only penetrate a few hundred nanometres into the surface of a comet. This means they would have a negligible effect on the overall composition of the comet. But interplanetary dust particles - usually debris from collisions between comets - are typically just a few micrometres across, and these react readily with protons because of their large surface-to-volume ratio. Gabla and colleagues point out that over three thousand tonnes of dust enter the atmosphere every year, and that such small grains of organic matter could enter the Earth's atmosphere without burning up.
However, astrophysicist Chandra Wickramasinghe of Cardiff University in Wales remains cautious. "This shows that biochemical monomers can form under solar-system conditions. Although this process must occur, its contribution to the origin of life remains conjectural." Wickramasinghe and colleagues recently suggested that fully fledged microbes may have initiated life on Earth.

- Furthermore, the jump in oil prices is reflected in the trade deficit - an indicator of the unsatisfactory level of competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy.
- The most reliable scale is the Global Severity Index, an indicator of general stress level.
2.1 [usually with modifier] A gauge or meter of a specified kind: a speed indicator
More example sentences
- Surely something as simple as an electronic speed indicator, coupled with a 30 mph zone sign, would have effectively targeted the worst offenders.
- The ship's speed indicator jumped forward, as did the ship, leaving the dimmer-witted fighters behind.
- My last recollection was noting 120 mp/h on the air speed indicator, then I ploughed into trees.
2.2British A turn signal.
Example sentences
- Conventional car lighting has a number of elements - headlamps, indicators, brake lights - in set positions.
- Clumsy indicator / fog lights upset the purposeful, shark-like nose and bling-bling chrome filler cap allied with red brake callipers also look out of place.
- Flashing direction indicators for motor vehicles, which will be legal in this country from Friday, were pioneered in Bradford, where they were fitted to some trolley-buses over a year ago.
3 Chemistry A compound that changes color at a specific pH value or in the presence of a particular substance and can be used to monitor acidity, alkalinity, or the progress of a reaction.
Example sentences
- The color change in acid-base indicators is due to a chemical reaction between the indicator and the hydronium ions in the solution.
- This absence of correlation should warn against using CO temperature coefficients of chemical shifts as indicators of a hydrogen bond acceptor.
- Trace elements and oxygen isotopes are useful geochemical indicators of the chemistry of the waters from which the chert precipitated.
4 (also indicator species) An animal or plant species that can be used to infer conditions in a particular habitat.
Example sentences
- The calanoid copepod Lucicutia grandis is an indicator species for this habitat.
- Research indicated the owl is an indicator species whose decline indicates the imperilment of the old-growth forest ecosystem.
- The minnow is an indicator species that suggests the overall health, or sickness, of the entire river ecosystem.

QUOTE (Winry Chan @ Jun 29 2010, 10:49 AM)
My point being that even though Father was a mass-murderer and power-hungry, there was more than that to his character.
You mean, that he was also a pathetic coward?
I'm not sure what I felt was exactly sympathy per se. Rather, I feel the scene provoked pity. Now it's our turn to look down on him, he is a being worth of loath and disgust... and he is very pitiful. Your comparison to a child feels pretty accurate; he is very selfish and childish in his ways of thinking, he only cares about himself, he'll do anything to get what he wants, and he doesn't care or even stops to think about others. But when put in front of parent/authoritative figure/someone bigger than himelf, and threatened with punishment, he is reduced to crying and begs for his own life, apologising for his deeds.
(Some violent people are like that; they gladly subject others to pain and suffering, but when they themselves are subjected to it, they break down and beg for mercy. Which annoys me. It's so selfish, and feels very hypocritic. Like they don't even realise what they've been doing to others all along, like they don't understand, until now (if they even do so). Very much like a child, before he/she learns. This may be because they're psychopaths who lack the ability to empathise with other people. But I believe some bullies and bad (or even evil) people are sometimes in fact really just big, egocentric children, who don't truly understand.
Some baddies
care, they don't have the capability to. Some baddies don't
. And some baddies just
care, even when fully sane. I think Father is a combination of all three, really. Since he isn't human, he doesn't look at things the same way most of us do. He doesn't
any human compassion, he doesn't
it, and he doesn't
Anyway, I didn't mind the way Father's "serving of justice" scene was handled. (By the way, it feels really odd calling him Father now that he is that black ball thing again, and espacially after his pathetic ending. I wonder what the homonculi, who obeyed him and respected him without question (except for Greed), would think of him if they saw him in this sorry state.) There wasn't really any specifically "sad" music if my memory serves me right? They used that wonders-and-mysteries-sounding piece that also played when the Ishvalans put all their transmutation points in place? I thought that was a nice choice. Father returning to his unknown origins; the lid that was once opened a long time ago and allowed the thing that that started it all to be born, is put back on, and the mysteries remain mysteries, the evidence erased from the world.
I could imagine that maybe in terms of getting full satisfaction out of seeing Father punished, desperately crying in fear, it could have worked even better with another track, or possibly withouout any music at all, during this scene. I like it how it is though.
EDIT: Okay, there was actually some sad music when Father was defeated, and when he was sucked into the Gate. But, maybe it isn't enirely unfitting. Evil is a really sad thing (cheesy line of the day).
And, I was reminded, I would have really liked Thrisha's Lullaby to play when Ed starts crying, rather than the song we got. We haven't heard the original verision of it since early in the series I believe, it would be nice to hear it again as things are concluding. No to mention, I think the song in use is the same one as when Envy dies, and really, this feels a bit undignifying to the series main protagonist, in a really emotional and gripping moment of his, sharing melody with one of the most gruesome and pathetic homunculi XP I hope we get to hear Trisha's Lullaby before the series is over, at least.

Apart from avoiding discussing Episode 64 please be reminded;
-Do not spam.
-No Spoilers
-Do not go off topic
-Do not fight
means one line posts that contain little content. "OMG that ep was so cool" would be an example of spam. If you enjoyed the episode please specify what you enjoyed so much, was there anything you didn't like? If you ant to have a conversation with someone, do so via PM. Please also avoid clogging up the pages with replies that involves you quoting someone and adding "I agree" or similar.
mean anything you know (or guess) will happen in the upcoming episode. Not everybody reads the manga and you may reveal something they didn't know. For for episode 64 discussionpredictions, please go to the
relevant topic.
If you are unsure how to use spoiler tags, please ask.
off topic
means discussing a characters actions outside of the episode, or talking about the artwork, or upcoming episodes etc. I know this can happen easily so don't be upset if I move your posts or guide you in the right direction. Double check the forum for the right place to take your post, or if required, start a new topic.
Everybody can voice their opinion, and nobody is correct just as nobody is incorrect
. Because none of you will spam (right?) people will justify why they didn't like something. You are welcome to say "well I like that part because..." but you CAN NOT say "no you are wrong because..."

I agree with BrokenChouChou on the point about Father's fate. I think "pity" and not "sympathy" is the correct way to express our general feeling for the character's end. In the end, Father deserved his punishment.

I think "Trisha's Lullaby" should be used again too. It's the closest song
has to something like "Bratja" from the first anime. I'd like it if they played it over the credits for the final episode.

^ just realized we haven't heard that track in a LoOONG time.
Here's a fun note, I was watching this ep and my cousin looked over my shoulder and said "That blonde kid is just wailing on that guy. Ha, rape"
in regards to the beginning when Ed is just punching Father to crap.
Made me giggle, thought I'd share.

thought this ep was really niiiice <3 The Hoho montage at the end was so nice, I felt a lot sadder that he died in this than in the manga actually, I'd say the only thing that actually bugged me was ling and ed's expressions when Greed died, in the manga they were pained and made me feel really tearful XD In the anime, they wernt drawn to capture the same emotion, Ed in particular, I didnt feel the sadness like I did in the manga, they just seemed a little expressionless in a way, part from that little detail great ep, Truth's expression at Ed's little speech was epic XD hahaha

It's a very solemn song, I'm not sure that would be right for the credits since this is in fact a very happy ending. Which is why I would have liked them to play it in episode 63 during the Ed's sad moment (which I think had the potential to be a bit more emotional than Brotherhood made it).
Buuut I really don't know, just turned the song on, I'm listening to it now and maybe it would work, against a black, cinematic credit roll. Even if it hasn't been used that much, it really feels representative for Brotherhood, as you say it's the closest thing it has to Bratja. It makes me feel nostalgic and look back on the series, the brothers many hardships and all the somber times, but also on how they overcome them. It feels like the song speaks of sadness in the past, and of healing your wounds, rather than of hopeless despair in the present. It's sad, but not ALL sad, It has a feeling of in positivity in there, too, I think.
And, we all ARE sad to see FMA go, after all, even after such a happy ending ^^
EDITL: Watched the episode again and the Hohenheim scene sent shivers through my body, and I teared up again. This was the third time I watched it, and it's still just that powerful. When Pinako gasps and realises he's dead, her reaction to it, and Hoho papa's smiling face. And Rain playing *sniffle* Wah.
Another powerful moment the first time I watched the episode, mostly because I wasn't expecting it, was Mei crying when she hugs Al. You expected her to sob a bit and then you thought it'd be over with, but then she breaks out in full wail. She's just letting herself go. It sounded so real and genuine. I felt with her there. As did I in the manga. I think this scene, and the one where she cries when she helps Al sacrifice himself, is what made me really feel AlxMei to be more than a comical crackpairing, for the first time.

I liked how Ed's Truth's voice was more so Romi Paku this time. >w< It was fitting.
The extended Hohenheim death was very emotion-provoking.
I disliked that they cut out Alphonse's reaction to the handshake. But in a sense the expression he had on his face while Mei hugged him made up for it.
Ed crying was well-done, the movement was nice. However, I still sort of prefer the panel that was used in the manga for immediate emotion-provoking.
The ED sequence was neat. The montage of clips from both the OP's and the actual Episodes were a good choice. I especially liked how they included the scene of when Hohenheim was in Resembool and was looking over Ed as he was in the bed.
I'm rather happy Hohenheim and Trisha and finally together again. <3
As most have said on this forum already, "Looks like.. It's started to rain."

Father, while not coming of sympathetic, nevertheless comes off pitiable, because he wanted to be free of that which binds everyone and stand above it all. Of course, he did terrible things to accomplish it, so we shouldn't feel bad that he was defeated, just that he was so desperate to obtain that goal and so arrogant. I think Hohenheim finally understood why it was the Dwarf in the Flask felt that way in this episode, thus the extra scene with him standing where Father had been pulled in by "God".
Anyway, despite it not revealing what the nature of "God" is or really what Father's true nature is, it was an excellent episode. I especially liked Edward's cleverness in figuring out to sacrifice his Gate. He's always been more of a thinker than a fighter, and ultimately it proves to be what turns tragedy into success.
My review is up on my blog!
Fullmetal Alchemist is over! Thank you, Hiromu Arakawa! ;_;

So...with my second viewing of the episode I noticed some changes they made with the manga-to-episode animation that really stuck out to me, anyone else have ones to add to the list? :
Alphonse woke up instead.
They changed this scene from the manga to having Alphonse wake up on the battlefield, already lying down under coats and being surrounded. So pretty much Brotherhood showed the manga scene, but with a slight change of a time period.
Al's Reaction to Hohenheim's hand shake.
I honestly wish they would have put in Al's reaction, it was comedic and rather essential in my opinion, being that it really made it stand out that Al was finally able to feel through his own body.
Sig hugging Alphonse
was deleted from the episode as well, I could see why, being that Al is so frail at that point and time, and in a sense if Sid had really hugged him with his full might, there would be some explaining needed as to how this didn't injure or at least cause Al some pain.
Ed giving Mrs. Bradley the live remains of Selim
was altered to being an "after-direct-battle" time frame. This being proven due to Ed not having a totally ripped up-shirt on any longer. Ed had been wearing bandages (more than just the arm-bandage Brotherhood gave him.)
Roy after battle, his talk with Marcoh was moved not only from the manga's timeframe, but moved to Episode 64, since the preview of it showed him and Marcoh conversing in a hospital setting, Roy also in a patient-attire. I'm guessing this was done to keep a better flow as to where 63 cut off at. I'm hoping that Riza's minor surgery/recovery will still be included. The manga pages:
I would assume this would take place prior to the scene of Marcoh and Roy in 64, if it is at all included.
What irked me most was that BONES seems to have skipped over the direct recovery/bandaging/surgical events that in the manga occured directly after the battle. They also moved around the time frame "conveniently" to place Hohenheim's death as the end of 63, when in the manga his death does not even take place until after Ling and company bid farewell to Ed and Al.

I was saving the last eps so I could watch at the same time, that's why I'm so late.
Greed looked like a beanie. But it was sad, so sad.
<Insert intelligent musings about Father here> I really don't remember anything from Father!Battle/Death (it was less important for me), so I don't know what to say. Although, I DID pity him. He wanted something. But he was doing it wrong. So very wrong.
All I can say about the rescue-Al scene is that I wish I was there. Edward's tears. And the look on his face when he slowly and carefully drew the circle. Pefect.
Oh, and extra-super-cute eyecatchers!
Also, I'm not glad they cut out Roy's absolute convincion that Ed will not sacrifice himself. That he have learnt something. Oh ,well. There was the "promise not to use the PS to bring our bodies back!".
Ok, the scene inside the Gate...Dare I say it!? It was better than the manga! I loved Thruth's D: and *facepalm*! And Ed is so beautiful right when he says (sth like) "Even if I lose alchemy, I still have my friends". And shoot me if the last "Edo" wasn't Winry. Well, other than that it was like the manga...SOME added dialogue maybe...
Then the animation-quality went down for a half minute, but I can deal with that!
Al. Finally. He is perfect. I can watch the scene where he opens his eyes like, a million times! He looks so content! His voice fits him so well! I wish he wouldn't cut his hair!
It was Hoho who made me cry, though. When he really didn't wanna die. It breaks my heart. And when he told Trisha Ed called him "Dad". Heartbreaking. He was one of my favorite characters.
(I had wierd, strange feeling that when Hoho was talking to himself, he was gonna say that he wanted freedom just like Flask!Father as they were basically the same person, because Father was brought from the Gate and given substance thanks too Hoho's blood (?!?). But Hoho's freedom was death, but that clashes with his "I really didn't want to die"...And he would blame himself for...everything. Ignore me.)
(And why he said "Thank you" to Alex. First I thought it was like every parent, he was immensly proud over his sons and everyone who praises them are deffinetly intelligent, clear-minded people! XD But that would be foolish since he very much know he had little to do with their upbringing. Then I thought it was because he then knew his life wasn't completely in vain, and he was thankful for that. ...But now I like my first theory better! Just look at his face when Al apologizes to Mei!)
>.> Another long one.

Is episode 63 Brotherhood finale?:The last episode of FMA Brotherhood
So I just watched the last episode (or what appears to be the last episode), and I find myself horribly disappointed in the ending. [adult swim] aired this tonight, September 18 2011, 1:00am US Pacific standard (just for clarification of airing episode and time).
Series final spoilers ahead! ->)
Father had been defeated (epic happy party time sweet lol), Ed gave up his gate for Al, and then Hohenheim went back to Trisha's grave. I'd seen and read stuff about how the ending was supposed to have some bonus stuff in the credits, including a picture of a much older Ed and Winry holding their children joined by an aged Al and May, and a few other cast members. Not to mention the ending of the manga that showed Ed towering over Winry at the train station, and how everyone else goes along successful in their own paths (Ling becomes emperor, the chimera start their own journey to become human again, etc. Anyone that's read the manga knows the ending well). But none of that appeared to be a possibility of ever being shown in a dub. It honestly ticks me off that Funimation could screw this up so bad.
Could someone that knows more about this please explain what's going on here? I really hope that there's at least another episode
catching everyone's endings coming along next week, but from what I saw tonight, it seems as though Funimation just screwed up another good ending in dub.
I hope this doesn't seem like a pointless topic or anything, I just find myself really disappointed and looking for answers as to why the ending was the way it was. Thank you to anyone that can provide answers.

Welcome to the forum,
IronBlood Alchemist
. They have episode 64 "Journey's End" next week, and that will be the last episode of this series. I'm watching ep 63 on Adult Swim (repeat) as I write this, and looking forward to watching ep 64 next week.
Our moderator will probably move this Q&A to appropriate thread later, but meantime, I'm going to add spoiler covers and the spoiler warning on your post.

Thank you, for both the welcome and the answer.
Yeah, this is my first post, so I'm pretty new to the forums, so I do apologize for the spoiler thing.
I'm glad to know that this isn't the end to it, it had me really offset.
Quick question: Is there any way to adjust the spoiler warning label thing? I don't want to remove it or anything, because I understand what the issue is, I just feel that there's some of it that you blocked out that wasn't necessary to cover, as I think some of it wasn't spoiler-worthy (but if I'm mistaken, please correct me or edit it yourself, I'm just expressing my opinion of my original post). lol But again, thank you very much for you help, I greatly appreciate it.

It seems that I have something in common with all of the kids I went to high school with, or at least all of those kids who were in my graduating class (OK, so they were kids then!).
Turns out that this is the year when we will all be together again, probably for the first time since we all walked together in graduation ceremonies on the front lawn at Los Gatos High School.
And while that spirited march in June of 1967 marked the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, so does this. Because the members of the Los Gatos High class of '67--in fact the members of all of the classes of '67--are officially senior citizens, and this is the year we all sign up for Medicare.
Medicare! Are you kidding me? Didn't we all just go down to the DMV to sign up for drivers licenses? Didn't we all just turn 21 and symbolically and legally share our first beer? Didn't we all just celebrate our 40th birthdays?
This just can't be. We have to be too young for this. Our parents sign up for Medicare, our older brothers and sisters, but not us. And really, if we've signed up for Medicare, can Social Security be far behind?
Greg Fowler and Todd Hunter? Jim Zanardi and Jeff Lawrence? Wasn't it just yesterday that we were running out onto the football field for a Friday night game?
Amy Wagner and Terry Schwaderer? Cheri Evans and Margie Dains? Wasn't it just yesterday that you were cheering and pom-poning at the pregame prep rally?
Jack Dougan and Howard May? Kathy Ryan and Sue Lynott?
Weren't we all just at the all-night grad party together?
OK, I get it. We're all getting a little older, and the years have passed by faster than Chuck Hawthorne running through our defensive secondary on Thanksgiving Day (yeah, I'm not too old to remember Campbell killing us 28-0 in the Turkey Day game).
But, seriously! Medicare? Believe me, when I think of Jeannette Gonzales and Sue Knopf, I think of the cute girls I had crushes on in my freshman and sophomore years. The last thing I think about is a national insurance program for older Americans.
I guess the realization is just setting in. We were the flower children of the '60s, and now we're in our 60--actually, well into our 60s.
"You know," said my wife, scolding me for naming some of my female classmates, "those girls are not going to like the fact that you mentioned their names in connection with Medicare."
"Well, that's OK," I said in my defense, "I never mentioned how old we all are."
"I'm pretty sure most people know how old you have to be to get Medicare," she explained. "And we girls go to very great lengths to fight off the effects of aging."
"Oh, I know," I said, "and I have the bills from all the hairdressers who've colored your hair to prove it. And I thought you ladies, as you mature, prefer to be called women, not girls?"
She just glared back at me and didn't say a thing (you know, I should have known better than to use that m-word ... and I don't mean Medicare!).
Trouble is, "mature" is a nice way of saying we're all getting older, and while I can feel it in my bones, I certainly can't believe it's gotten here so soon.
I made the mistake of sharing my disbelief with my youngest son.
"Can you believe it?" I asked Kevin. "I just signed up for Medicare."
"Uh, yeah," he replied. "Frankly, Dad, judging by the way you limp when you walk and by your hair --or should I say lack of hair--I thought you must have signed up years ago!"
Oh, the honesty of a child ... a child that's just been cut out of the will, I might add.
But the truth is he's right. The years are catching up with the class of 1967 (even if the girls don't look much older than the day we walked across that front lawn of the high school on graduation day), and if you don't believe it ... hey, have you looked at Zanardi lately?

2012 Annual Report
Significant progress was made toward several of the objectives. The goal of the project is to identify biomarkers of muscle fat combustion. This overarching aim is driven by the fact that poor insulin sensitivity and frank type 2 diabetes typically occur in the setting of reduced or inefficient muscle long chain fatty acid (LCFA) catabolism in mitochondria. Dr. Mary-Ellen Harper's laboratory at the University of Ottawa is evaluated plasma metabolite patterns (metabolomics) in genetically-modified mice with altered muscle LCFA metabolism, with or without a training regimen to improve muscle fitness and increase fat combustion. It was found that in trained animals, muscle tissue burns fat more efficiently and in turn the levels of certain metabolites called acylcarnitines are reduced in the bloodstream. Further studies in isolated tissues suggest that more efficient fat combustion and lower acylcarnitines are associated with less oxidative stress in the muscle, indicating that strategies such as increased physical activity and nutritional interventions that improve the efficiency of fat combustion will improve overall metabolic health. The PI and cooperator exchanged information and results via email regularly, and the cooperator provided edits on manuscripts and presentations, as well as assistance with results analysis. In addition, approximately quarterly teleconferences were utilized to exchange information and coordinate studies.

WATERFORD - The tough stretch for Waterford continues as the Wildcats fell 61-54 to Wahama Tuesday night at Waterford High School in a Tri-Valley Conference matchup.
The loss was the seventh straight for the Wildcats, who are now 4-8 on the season. Wahama improved to 5-8 with the win and has now won three straight.
While Waterford held a 21-4 advantage in the turnover margin, the White Falcons outrebounded the Wildcats 42-22 and hit on 17-of-21 free throws to 5-of-6 for Waterford.

JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Waterford boys' coach Tom Simms, left, discusses strategy with his team during a timeout in Tuesday night's game against visiting Wahama. The Wildcats lost 61-54.
Overall, Wahama was 19-for-47 (40 percent) from the floor while the Wildcats were 23-for-69 (33 percent).
"We had a lot of shots that didn't fall," said Waterford head coach Tom Simms. "We had shots that were in the cylinder and rimmed back out. We need to get a few more shots to fall but at the same time we can't let somebody score 61 points."
Wahama head coach Mike Wolfe was thrilled with his team's effort.

"We talked about guys playing their roles," Wolfe said. "We put eight guys out on the floor tonight and eight of them played their roles to a tee. I couldn't be more proud of them."
Wyatt Porter, who had a game-high 23 points, scored the first six points of the contest for the Wildcats to give them a 6-5 advantage. Wahama's Austin Jordan hit a 3-pointer to put the White Falcons on top before Austin Shriver responded with a trey of his own to put Waterford back on top 9-8. Shriver and Dakota Sisk then traded three-point plays before a jumper by Porter made it 14-11 Waterford at the end of one quarter.
To start the second quarter, Porter hit another mid-range jumper off an assist from Shriver to make it 16-11 before Hunter Rose and Jordan hit back-to-back 3-balls to put Wahama up 17-16.
Porter answered with another basket off an assist from Brian Moore to retake the lead.
After Rose and Moore traded buckets, Porter hit a pair of free throws to give Waterford its largest lead of the game at 24-19. Hunter Bradley hit a jumper and Sisk hit a layup before Porter made a layup off a behind-the-back pass from Eli Strahler to make it 26-23. Sisk would convert another layup to make it 26-25 at halftime.
Wahama opened up the second half on an 8-0 run, paced by 3-pointers from Jordan and Preston Hundall, to go up 33-26. Wolfe said he talked to the team about keeping its composure coming out of the break.
"The only thing we said was to continue playing composed and they did," Wolfe explained. "We didn't get excited or anxious and just let the offense click. Defensively, we made a lot of great plays getting to loose balls. We got to the rim. We quit settling for the outside shot and got to the rim and that helped us a lot."
Waterford got its first second half points on a layup by Shriver, but Wahama quickly answered with a putback by Sisk. Trystan Crawford then made a bucket followed by a pair of foul shots by Strahler to cut it to 35-32. Wahama would extend its lead to 43-38 by the end of the third quarter.
Porter drained a jumper to open the fourth quarter to make it 43-40, but Jacob Ortiz and Bradley hit four straight free throws to extend the lead 47-40. Strahler then made a strong take to the basket but Ortiz responded with a putback layup to keep it at a seven-point game. Porter then connected on a 3-pointer to make it 49-45 before Wahama four straight points to make it an eight-point game.
The Wildcats were not out of it yet, however, as Moore hit a 3-ball to make it 53-48. Later, a jumper by Porter made it 54-50 before five straight points by Sisk and Ortiz put the game out of reach.
Jordan led Wahama with 19 points, while Sisk had 15 and Ortiz added 12. Joining Porter in double-digits for Waterford was Shriver with 16.
Ortiz hauled in a game-high 12 rebounds while Shriver led the Wildcats with eight boards. Strahler and Bradley each led their respective teams with five assists apiece.
Waterford will look to end its losing streak Friday when it hosts Miller.
"We're getting better," Simms said. "We're doing a lot of things right. We've just got to keep moving up and we've just got to get a stop."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - Just like UK football coach Mark Stoops last week, Louisville Cardinal quarterback and heisman hopeful Teddy Bridgewater making the rounds on the ESPN campus.
While appearing on College Football Live, amid the off-the-field headlines made by Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel, Bridgewater was asked about his image and how he represents himself, as well as the University of Louisville.
"You have a lot of followers, you have a lot of people looking up to you. You're a role model in a lot of people's eyes," says Bridgewater, who is projected as a top-5 pick in next year's NFL Draft. "I just constantly remind myself that every one of my actions is seen by someone. Before I ever make a decision to do something, I remember that I'm representing the University of Louisville, my family, and myself, and I don't want to bring that image unto myself."

Weather can be a watcher's best friend
|A scarlet tanager. Credit: Mark Szantyr
The most exciting event at this time of year is a fallout of nocturnal passage migrants. These are the unforgettable mornings when birders talk about warblers, tanagers, orioles and grosbeaks dripping off the trees.
They usually happen when birds heading north in numbers on a clear night with southerly winds encounter bad weather. A cold front, a line of squalls or some other hinderance forces birds down in a small area. This isn't always good for the birds, but it's great for anyone watching them.
At mid-week, we broke out of a long run of weather of the opposite kind. A ridge of high pressure wouldn't budge, producing beautiful sunny weather but also northeast winds that weren't conducive to heavy migration.
Some birds were moving, but they were primarily migrants that breed locally. Instead of heavy movements of passage birds in parks, cemeteries and other concentration spots, we found new arrivals scattered in places where they nest.
This was clear on Monday, when four of us visited River Road in Kent. This forested dirt track along the west bank of the Housatonic River is famous for spring migration, but it also holds a rich variety of breeding species.
We found lots of birds, but every one of them could be accounted for as a local breeder. A few individuals might have been passing through but every species we saw was known to breed at River Road.
The specialty bird at this site is the cerulean warbler, a species near the northern edge of its range and very sparsely and unevenly distributed in Connecticut. Away from Kent, most other known breeding sites are east of the Connecticut River.
We found two ceruleans high in the riverside trees, along with nine other species of breeding warblers. Some, such as black-and-white and yellow, were all along the road in good numbers.
Warbling vireos were everywhere, along with several Baltimore orioles and rose-breasted grosbeaks plus a couple of scarlet tanagers. Thrushes were scarce, but we heard the call notes of one veery and heard the fluting song of a few wood thrushes.
Heading into this weekend, changing weather should bring many more birds of passage.

You aren't giving Sony $400 to wait. Well, you have to wait a few more days to get your hands on the PlayStation 4 this Friday, but after that, waiting is for suckers.
Instead of wasting your time, Sony wants the PlayStation 4 to serve gamers what they want instantly or with as little delay as possible. That's why the next-gen console enables them to play games while they're downloading.
Sony sat GamesBeat down for a demonstration of how this works for a title like Call of Duty: Ghosts. For the shooter, developer Infinity Ward was able to split the PS4 download into a single-player campaign and multiplayer mode, and it's up to gamers to decide which one they want to start playing first.
"[PlayStation 4] just needs to download a fraction of the game, and once it reaches that certain point, you can start playing that mode," Sony Network Entertainment senior director Grace Chen told GamesBeat. "The system will then automatically download the rest of that mode and then the other mode."
For games that have different modes, you have to choose. Thankfully, even if you choose multiplayer and decide to jump right into a match, the system will continue to download the game in the background. That's opposed to something like the Xbox 360 that pauses downloads anytime an online game starts using the network.
Sony also enabled remote purchasing using the PlayStation app, which launches Friday for iOS and Android, to further eliminate waiting.
"If you make PlayStation 4 purchases from a mobile device or through the web, if your PS4 is in standby mode, it will wake up and start downloading that content," said Chen.
The PS4 defaults to that standby mode and is always listening to the network in case it needs to power on for the app or connect with a PlayStation Vita for remote play. We haven't tried any of this in the wild yet, but we'll have hands-on impressions of the PS4 and all of its features later this week.

This morning, Fawnia declared the return of the classic '90s slip dress, which I'm really into (especially in this dastardly heat! Yeesh!), except that they're kind of hard to wear without looking like you're wearing a nightie.
Mary Green Georgia Maxi Slip, $198, freepeople.com
It can be done! First, let's start with the dress. Here are 10 that I love:
Sophia and I both love the idea of going whole-hog '90s with a pair of grunge-y boots. I also really like the idea of some solid white Chucks or Bensimons. It pretty much goes without saying that I also really like the idea of wearing one with a pair of Birkenstocks... Anyway, here are some cute shoes to go with the dress.
If you're more of a girly girl, I'd wear a chunky heel instead of the boots or sneakers. You want something to kind of "anchor" the flimsy dress so it doesn't feel so...boudoir.
I like to wear my slip dresses with a chambray shirt either unbuttoned, tied at the waist country-girl style, or tied around your waist. I like to wear a chambray shirt with everything to be honest though. An army jacket or denim jacket would also be super cute! I also like to layer mine with light, creamy cable-knit sweaters at the office in the summer.
Finally, I'd keep the jewelry and makeup modern and light so you don't err too far on the side of '90s grunge.
Ta-da! You've got a lingerie-inspired dress that nobody will mistake for your nightgown.
How do you wear a slip dress in the summer?

Happy May Day, everybody! I'm positively glowing with excitement that May is here because it's such a spectacular month: Spring has sprung, Mother's Day is around the corner, the sun is out, we're almost to full-time sandal season. But, my friends, the BEST part about May is that all month long...
So until it's May 31, tell your friends.
Oh, and one more thing:
That is all.

The project was at a preliminary stage, he said, adding he had discussed the project with his Qatari counterpart. The Qatari energy minister, however, did not appear very hopeful during a recent meeting and had cited technological problems and non-availability of gas as main areas of concern.

In actions in the Superior Court a change of venue may be ordered by the Assignment Judge or the designee of the Assignment Judge of the county in which venue is laid or by a judge of such county sitting in the Chancery Division, General Equity, or the presiding judge of the Family Part, or the designee of the Assignment Judge for the Special Civil Part, (1) if the venue is not laid in accordance with R. 4:3-2; or (2) if there is a substantial doubt that a fair and impartial trial can be had in the county where venue is laid; or (3) for the convenience of parties and witnesses in the interest of justice; or, (4) in Family Part post-judgment motions, if both parties reside outside the county of original venue and application is made to the court by either party to change venue to a county where one of the parties now resides.
(b) Time; Form of Order; Filing. A motion for a change of venue shall be made not later than 10 days after the expiration of the time prescribed by R. 4:6-1 for the service of the last permissible responsive pleading, or, if the action is brought pursuant to R. 4:67 (summary actions), on or before the return date. If not so made, objections to venue shall be deemed waived except that if the moving party relies on R. 4:3-3(a)(2) the motion may be made at any time before trial. The order changing venue shall not be incorporated in any other order and shall be filed in triplicate. If a mediator has already been appointed, the party moving to change venue shall serve a copy of the motion on that person prior to the mediation date. The moving party also shall promptly serve on the mediator a copy of the order entered on the motion.
(c) Ex Parte Orders. At any time prior to the filing and service of the first answer by any defendant to the complaint, plaintiff may apply ex parte for an order changing venue to any other county in which venue may be properly laid. The application shall be granted unless it appears that there is good cause for its denial. An order of denial shall state the reasons with specificity.
