This is the first boulder that is recomended to anyone new to the area and looking for an afternoon session. Located right off of first street about half a block north/east of Whopee Wall, this erratic has a few good lines from V0 to V6ish. Landings can be protected easily with pads and the walk off is nice and mellow. As with all urban areas is Duluth, glass and bums can be an issue...
Getting There
Just north/east of Whopee Wall on First Street West (about 1400 West First Street).

Featured Route For First Street Boulder
Chump Unknown V5 6C MN : Duluth Rock (Duluth) : First Street Boulder
Start on Stump Chump (or just stand using the bomber undercling and huge left sidepull). Work up a move or two, then use that core strength to press into a wicked double gaston. Fancy footwork bring one into the shallow wanna-be dihedral to the right of the arete, and perhaps another gaston. Either stay in the shallow area, or utilize the arete on the left. Both exits make this semi-traverse the most classic line on the First Street Boulder (in my silly opinion). ...[more] Browse More Classics in MN

Recently, we discussed apparatus positioning for truck companies at the scene of a working fire, and we approached this topic with considerations towards operating in an offensive mode; that is, crews were going to be assigned specific areas of the structure and perform assigned tasks with the engine companies working inside to find the seat of the fire. This month, we take an alternative view and discuss some of the same topics taking into consideration that operations will be strictly defensive, or from the exterior of the structure. While many people feel that this is an overall safer approach to fighting the fire, there have been many instances where operating in such a manner has resulted in a significant line-of-duty injury or death. Our discussion this month will provide some points of consideration to keep you and your crew members safely protected on the fire scene.
Why Defensive?
Much to the distain of many firefighters, many times we find ourselves outside the confines of the structure attempting to extinguish the fire raging within. It is in our nature to be aggressive and efficient; however, this is a trait that can land us in significant danger, sometimes with catastrophic results (see Photo 1). Progressive officers and incident commanders must evaluate the "bigger picture," and have the wisdom to make the defensive call when the need arises. In my years as a fire officer and an incident commander (IC), there are a few "clues" that almost always scream Defensive:
Buildings that have burned before: For some reason, somebody, somewhere, wanted that building to burn. Usually when responding back the second (or third) time, the fire is larger and much more developed during the previous alarm.
Buildings under construction: Structures that are still in the early phases of construction are nothing more than stacked lumberyards, and in today's construction practices, are filled with larger open void spaces and engineered structural components (i.e., lightweight components). Open void spaces will result in rapid ventilation and fire spread, making the defensive posture upon arrival the most prudent decision (see Photo 2).
Buildings that are abandoned/under demolition: While this may seem like a common sense decision, many times firefighters are injured or killed risking their lives for no sustainable life hazard or property (see Photo 3). The building is coming down, no matter how aggressive the attack.
Adding to the list of clues, there are some significant construction issues that should cause concern in the mind of the IC:
Cornices:These ornate decorative moldings originally were designed to throw rainwater away from the front wall of a structure, but they also serve as a significant collapse hazard. Whether they are eccentrically secured to the front wall, or designed to be freestanding, they can come crashing down with little or no warning (see Photo 4).
Parapet Walls: A freestanding extension of the front wall of a building, they can also have coping stones around the top edge of the wall, compounding the total weight of the assembly. Connections made from the parapet to the structure are limited, and usually are exposed to the elements, resulting in deterioration of the connections. Furthermore, heavy fire will begin to distort the lintel the parapet rests on; the twisting of the steel span will result in the assembly failing as an entire unit.
Tension Rods: These rods can be cable or threaded materials, and are utilized to hold parallel masonry walls together. At each end of the rod, there is a protrusion of the rod through the wall where a connection is made to a spreader plate, which is used to distribute the load throughout the wall. Many times the original plans for the structure included tension rods in the construction process; in this case, the rods will look symmetrical in nature, orderly and aligned throughout the structure. An alarm should go off when these rods are located throughout the structure in various sporadic locations (see Photo 5). Furthermore, these assemblies have been proven to fail at around 800°F, leading to total wall assembly failure.

Top Ten Comic Book Debuts of 2012A column article, Top Ten by: Danny Djeljosevic, Nick Boisson, David Fairbanks, Chris Kiser, Nick Hanover, Shawn Hill
Hi. Only a couple pieces to go in our 2012 comics lists. This one's the Top Ten Comic Debuts of 2012, where we cover our favorite comics that began in 2012. A bunch of y'all got mad because we left a bunch these out of the best ongoing lists -- that's because we were saving them for this list. Cool? Cool.
- Danny Djeljosevic
(Michelle Fiffe)
Copra managed to sneak in two issues at the end of 2012, but Issue #1 alone was enough to ensure its place on this list. A self-published, monthly follow-up to his bootleg Suicide Squad comic Deathzone!, Copra takes Squad analogues (and analogues of characters who aren't even remotely related to Suidide Squad) and puts them on the run, throwing more characters than an episode of Game of Thrones at us in a given issue -- but we can keep up because we read comics and keeping track of too many characters is what we do.
There's so much about Copra that excites me. The singular vision of Michel Fiffe with his striking color palette and fearlessness in going crazy with page layouts. The fact that it's a self-published action comic that straddles the line between art comics and action comics -- remember, this is pretty much a superhero comic, just one that's rendered in a very distinct style. The fact that it's a self-published action comic that isn't dogshit. Copra is a comic that exists not because somebody thought it'd be marketable or an arbitrary quota needed to be filled, but because the person who's making it wanted it to exist in the world. Which sounds obvious, but in comics it's pretty hard to tell sometimes.
Here's a telling fact: I was paying $2.99 month for Stormwatch and couldn't take it anymore. I'm paying $7 a month for Copra (including shipping) and hardly bat an eyelash. It's that good.
- Danny Djeljosevic
Mind MGMT
(Matt Kindt, Dark Horse)
Now, I have already said a bit about the first issue of Matt Kindt's first monthly series, Mind MGMT, but it never hurts to say a bit more. Especially when it comes to such a beautiful, unique debut as this book had. From the opening page -- where you see a man and a woman approaching each other as lovers, but begin brutally attacking one another until they fall off a building -- you are sucked into Kindt's world of mystery, intrigue and mindful discovery. And, believe me, that is far from the best scene in that first issue.
What Mind MGMT does phenomenally well is pull the reader in. Both Kindt's well-crafted plot and beautiful watercolor artwork make for a story that you cannot help but completely delve into and wonder, "What's going to happen next?!" You immediately care for what happens to Meru (the series protagonist) and her search for Henry Lyme, who may be the key to it all; to what she has been aimlessly searching for lo these many years.
Honestly, nothing quite grabbed me the way Mind MGMT did in 2012 and I'll be hard-pressed to find a debut comic to do the same in 2013.
- Nick Boisson
Manhattan Projects
(Jonathan Hickman, Nick Pitarra, Jordie Bellaire; Image)
When we first reviewed Manhattan Projects, I wasn't the biggest fan. I thought it was okay, but it didn't really blow me away. Despite the fact that we've only seen seven issues of the series this year, my opinion has clearly changed.
Hickman and Pitarra started off with a bit of a slow burn, and while I liked some of what they were doing, I wasn't sold on it until probably the second or third issue. That was around the time that we discovered just how sinister Hickman's Einstein is, just how intriguing his Feyman is, and just how unbelievably intense the series would become.
Now I point to Manhattan Projects and Prophet as evidence that Image is producing some of the best comics in existence right now, but also that it is entirely possible to do some pretty heavy sci-fi stories and still have a significant readership.
It feels like Manhattan Projects houses every idea that Hickman wanted to use in Fantastic Four and FF but was too "out there" for Marvel. It is this wonderful blend of science fiction and history and I simply can't wait to see where it's headed for 2013.
- David Fairbanks
Conan the Barbarian
(Brian Wood, Becky Cloonan, James Harren, Vasilis Lolos, Declan Shalvey, Dave Stewart; Dark Horse)
With the notable exception of our resident Conanhead Zack Davisson, many of us here at Comics Bulletin never gave a Crom about Conan the Barbarian. Prior to 2012, I personally never considered picking up a Conan comic or novel, and I certainly wasn't keen on ever watching the movie version where an Austrian politician walks around showing off his muscle boobs the whole time. I like superheroes and sci-fi, and on those rare occasions where I dip into fantasy, I mostly prefer stuff with wizards in it. But that was all before Dark Horse Comics decided to actively target me and my ilk, roping newbies into getting excited about the publisher's most prominent licensed property that isn't Star Wars. Needless to say at this point, the plan worked really well.
Writer Brian Wood is a pretty attractive lure to comics of any genre, mostly because of some great stuff he's written starring women or men who keep their shirts on. In Conan the Barbarian, he brings an accessibility to a title character I once thought completely unrelatable (at least to folks who can't bench more than 300 pounds and have never severed a human head with a sword) and has given him a personality and voice I can understand, all the while keeping him true to the unique morality of his warrior code. Becky Cloonan, too, is worth a gander any time she puts her pencil to paper, and her unique design for Conan has been both attractively sleek and strong. Even after she made way for other talented artists' contributions to the book, Cloonan's influence has continued to shape this iteration of Conan the Barbarian into something both inviting and creative.
Reading comics as extensively and for as long as I have, efforts to reach new readers can often come across as tedious and watered down. In Conan the Barbarian, it's great to experience the world of an established character with fresh eyes through the pages of a comic that in no way surrenders its depth.
- Chris Kiser
(Brandon Graham, Simon Roy, Giannis Milonogiannis, Farel Dalrymple; Image)
Back when he first kicked around the idea of Fear Agent, Rick Remender's mission was to get himself noticed with a new kind of old pulp hero, rugged and ill-tempered and drunk but intellectual and well-read to boot. It would seem that Brandon Graham gave himself a similar mission when he was brought on to revive the long dormant Extreme Studios title Prophet, except in this case the pulp he pulled from was the druggy intellectual pulp of Philip K. Dick and his latter day acolyte Jonathan Lethem, a pulp of Dalieseque bipedal sapphic creatures and questionable futures and horrible fortunes. Working with a fleet of scarily talented artists, including Simon Roy and Farel Dalrymple amongst others (including Graham himself), Graham's Prophet "debut" heralded a new Moebius-infused future for pop indie comics even as its story heralded a broke down future Earth and beyond.
Where Graham has previously been associated with the world of art comix thanks to his epic King City, Prophet ably proves that the creator has a knack for developing rich, highly detailed and unusual worlds that savvy readers can't help but be sucked into, occupying a terrain somewhere between easily digestible paperback sci-fi and intensely cerebral exploration. Graham, in essence, skipped the accessibility debate altogether by showing how his kind of cosmic fuckery could be just as easily immersible and addicting as anything mainstream, but with a much higher level of risk taking. Graham in the process also found a way to circumvent the modern day problem of artist delays and switchovers by utilizing a team structure, where he and his three artist collaborators handle different versions of the titular "Prophet," showing off the scope of the world Graham has developed and the uncanny vision he has for the character.
These kinds of debuts are usually few and far between, but in 2012, Graham and his collaborators felt like especially vital pioneers at the front of a full on movement, as his fellow Extreme Studios reinventors Joe Keatinge and Ross Campbell did similarly excellent work onGlory. The two series couldn't be more different, but what they shared was proof incarnate that reboots and remodels don't have to be stagnant and hollow, that risks can pay off and yield exciting, unusual successes.
- Nick Hanover
(Matt Fraction, David Aja, Javier Pulido, Matt Hollingsworth; Marvel)
Hawkeye could have been a very cynical piece of entertainment. Surely it exists because Hawkeye was in the Avengers movie and HEY SYNERGY, but the comic itself feels like it couldn't be further from that mentality, considering it's about Clint Barton doing everything except avenging things -- which is exactly the appeal of the book.
While it features a character from the biggest superhero movie of all time, Hawkeye is more in the spirit of Marvel's fringe books, where creators are generally allowed to cut loose and do things that they might not be allowed to do in the marquee titles. That's because the creators behind Hawkeye are Fraction/Aja/Hollingsworth, who collaborated on another fringe book, Immortal Iron Fist, nearly a decade ago. And so we get an amazing sense of playfulness from the title as the team offer a great design sense, bonkers sequential storytelling and jokes -- all told in self-contained issues or the odd two-parter, so anyone can pick up Hawkeye and join in on the fun.
Call it "this year's Daredevil," the critically beloved mainstream superhero comic that offers an entertaining, beautifully illustrated bit of counterprogramming to the rest of the superhero comics world -- a world we can visit where we don't have to think about decompression or countless crossovers. It's hard not to be excited about comics again after an issue of Hawkeye.
- Danny Djeljosevic
Adventure Time
(Ryan North, Shelli Paroline, Braden Lamb, Mike Holmes, lots of backup creators; BOOM!)
I was one of those people who didn't quite get the appeal of the Adventure Time TV show at first. I don't think I had seen a full episode, but what I did see made me think it wasn't for me. After giving the comic a shot, however, I went back and saw just how amazingly strange and surreal the series is.
Ryan North's writing feels right in line with Finn and Jake, with more than enough humor and the constant edge of darkness underneath it all, and I don't know that I've seen a series have more indie comics stars flock to it for variant covers and backup stories.
More than that, it is evidence of kid-friendly comics that adults love, much like the cartoon is adored by children and adults alike. It can be tough working in a comic shop and having parents come in looking for something for their young child, because so much of what is produced by Marvel and DC is just not suitable for young kids.
While Adventure Time tends to do four-issue story arcs, it feels like you can really jump in at any point, and unlike many comics these days, it's tough to spend less than 20-30 minutes on it because it is just so dense with both text and ideas.
Readers wanting to give the series a shot but still not convinced that they can just jump in on any issue, issues 5 and 10 were one-shots, with the latter being an interesting choose-your-own-adventure tale.
- David Fairbanks
(Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips; Image)
There's a simple reason why Fatale is clearly one of the best debuts of 2012: it's "high-concept" done right. Brubaker and Phillips have impressed before with more straightforward noirs, and on the other side with stunningly good superheroics. But Fatale is a mish-mash of pop culture nightmares, a little bit like Doctor Strange in his 1970s Lovecraftian days, if he'd abandoned New York for Hollywood and run headlong into Robert Evans. The burgeoning naturalist renaissance in American cinema, yes, that's it! Last time I reviewed the title, I reached (graspingly) for a comparison to the old Goldie Hawn/Chevy Chase vehicle Foul Play, mostly because it also had serial killers, assassins, devil-worshippers and that funky West Coast vibe. But what Fatale has almost none of is comedy, so let's go for a better New Hollywood source: Bonnie and Clyde. Fatale is the story Arthur Penn might tell were he to remake Kiss Me Deadly with Peter Fonda and Farrah Fawcett; it's got whiffs of the Manson family, of Roman Polanski, of a me-decade of freaky excess and counter-culture weirdness, grounded in the older standard of film noir pulp reality, of hard choices and desperate fatalism.
It's a nearly impossible mix to pull-off, a believable detective story mixing with a scary horror story and not seeming silly, mawkish or just overwrought. But Brubaker has grounded his main characters in the immediacy of pressing human needs, not least of all anti-heroine Josephine, the femme who is so fatale to generations of men, including cops, actors, writers, all in thrall to her irresistible, inexplicable (even to herself) allure. When the cultists and the octopus-faced demons come, the violence is rash and gory, the fear not silly at all. It's a delicate balance, and it wouldn't work nearly as well without Phillips' ability to keep the main characters interesting (even the beautiful, vacuous women; even the seedy, aging men), and to fill out the canvas with memorable character roles who work just like Hollywood's stable of thankless supporting players always used to, coming in for a ready quip or a short spotlit moment that suggest worlds yet untold.

MonkeyBrain Comics -- The Whole Damn Thing
(Grace Allison, Allison Baker, Nick Brokenshire, Kurt Busiek, Kevin Church, Colleen Coover, Jason Copland, Dennis Culver, Rachel Deering, Steve Downer, Eamon Dougherty, Rich Ellis, Dan Goldman, Mike Henderson, John J. Hill, D.J. Kirkbride, Adam P. Knave, Josh Krach, Steve Lieber, Jennifer L. Meyer, Michael Montenat, Ruiz Moreno, Ron Riley, Chris Roberson, Brandon Seifert, Matthew Dow Smith, Zack Smith, Paul Tobin, J. Torres, Joshua Williamson, Lauren Vogelbaum)
It's not fair to lump all these comics in one blurb, but MonkeyBrain Comics debuted in early July with a stable of new, affordable and diverse digital comics by, established pros, on-the-cusp talent and people working in the mainstream that you might not have been paying enough attention to. It's been a long-ass while since we've had a huge debut like this.
Overall MonkeyBrain's output so far has been great. Amelia Cole and the Unknown World tickled the part of my soul that years for things that remind me of Veronica Mars in even the most abstract ways, and offered great art to boot. Edison Rex managed to find a new, fun approach to the "Superman analogue with a twist" subgenre, which I didn't think was possible. Masks and Mobsters gave readers who missed the Justice Society a place to go for Golden Age superheroics. Bandette is the cutest, most fun thing. Even more whimsical stuff like Aesop's Ark and Action Cats might not seem like they would be my thing, but in digital form I'm willing to gamble a buck or two to find out.
Twenty years ago, a startup like this would come out strong, expand too fast, then implode. But these days, with digital comics being the thing to do (as they should be), MonkeyBrain can put out stuff as soon as it's done, bypassing the very stupid distribution system of print comics while reaching a much bigger audience that might be more interested in what the publisher has to offer than the weekly comic shop crowd. And, knowing what they're putting out this year, it's hard not to be excited for what comes out next.
- Danny Djeljosevic
(Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples; Image)
There may be plenty of pleasant surprises here on our list of the year's best new series, but Saga sure ain't one of them. All of us here in the comics-reading world may have resigned ourselves to the fact that Brian K. Vaughan, the best new writer of the twenty-aughts, had turned out to be the love-'em-and-leave-'em type, abandoning panel-based storytelling for the glitz of Hollywood, but we all knew that if he ever came back to us, it was going to be great. And when the Image Comics solicitations that promised such a return finally hit the 'Net, we were more than ready for another dose of the strong wit and characterization that made books like Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina instant classics.
But while Saga may have been coronated as king long before its debut ever occurred, there's no denying that the book itself deserves commendation for actually living up to its hype. From issue one, this comic felt like it contained a fully realized alien universe, one infinitely ripe for the picking throughout what will hopefully be a long, long run. Saga no doubt utilized the familiarity of its more obvious influences -- Star Wars and Romeo and Juliet being the most overt -- to draw its audience in, though it's Vaughan and the razor-sharp art of Fiona Staples who have given the book a heart all its own. Saga is a beautiful comic with an unmistakably powerful narrative voice. It's about love, it's about war, it's about magic space aliens, and it's about as great as you could expect any of those things to ever be.

|On the Other Hand — Happy New Year!
|Saturday, December 28, 2013 9:00 PM
Well, here it is that time again. The pressure's on. Time to make a New Year's resolution.
The top 10 most common New Year's resolutions are:
1. Lose weight
2. Stop smoking
3. Stick to a budget
4. Save or earn more money
5. Find a better job
6. Become more organized
7. Exercise more
8. Be more patient at work/with others
9. Eat better
10. Become a better person
This sounds like what we try to do just about every day in our normal lives. So, why is it so hard to keep them?
Getting fit and healthy is the most common resolution. Every January, people resolve that this will be the year they get back into shape and sign up at a gym. But a month or two later, that resolve slips away.
Statistics indicate that two-thirds of Americans will break their New Year resolutions by Valentine's Day. The main reason is that many people set goals that don't work with their lifestyles, are too challenging or not based on something they really enjoy.
Who comes home from a hard day's work and thinks, "Boy, a nice salad would be great!?"
I personally am thinking about drowning my troubles in ice cream or munching through the blues on cookies. Comfort foods — the downfall of every one of my diets. Broccoli just doesn't have the same effect as a nice chewy brownie. I don't get that "aaahhh" feeling from crunching my way through celery, either.
I will again attempt to cross No. 2 off my list permanently. I know people try three, four and even more times to quit before they are successful. I know I need to. That's all I've got to say about that.
Sticking to a budget and making and/or saving more money seem to go hand-in-hand. The budget looks a lot better when there is more to work with. Who doesn't want more money?
Organization is in the eye of the beholder. My mother used to have a sign on her desk at Marathon that read "Don't touch my desk, I know where everything is!" Same seems to apply here. Every time I clean off my desk, I can't find what I want.
So, what is my New Year's resolution? Not to make one. That way, I can't fail. If I work on a few things on the top 10 list throughout the year, I'll be much better off than making a single decree and failing, like two-thirds of the rest of America.
Happy New Year!

Arizona Cardinals Patrick Peterson announced as NFC Pro Bowler
A nice achievement for a rookie, he said he hoped to one day make it back because of his skills covering wide receivers.
Peterson's done exactly that.
It was announced Wednesday that the second-year pro was selected to represent the NFC in the 2013 Pro Bowl.
With one game left to play, Peterson has tallied seven interceptions to go along with 53 tackles. He's been consistently matched up with some of the NFL's best receivers, and at one point had picked off a pass in four consecutive games.
An excited Peterson tweeted his reaction to the news on Wednesday night.
Peterson is the only Arizona player to be selected to the Pro Bowl, while both linebacker Daryl Washington and receiver Larry Fitzgerald have been selected as alternates.

After reading this terrific piece by Scott Schroeder, I started thinking about Cory Higgins. Early in the season, I didn't really care. I mean, cool, there's some nepotism going on, but it's not that big a deal. I also didn't care about Cory Higgins at all until just a little while ago. However, once it was brought to my attention he was on a unguaranteed contract, I started actually using my brain. What exactly does Cory Higgins bring to our team? As I thought about all I've seen from him, I decided he brings absolutely nothing to our team. He has nearly no upside and his current game isn't exactly racks on racks on racks. So now the nepotism gets a little grating. On a team so devoid of talent, why should he be given a chance over guys like Manny Harris or Ben Uzoh? I'm under no impression these guys are ever going to be very good NBA players. I just don't see it. But I am under the impression I'd be far more inclined to give them a chance to be good NBA players than Cory Higgins, because I don't see him ever being part of our future. Right now, my Higgins anger is at a 6, mainly because in the end it's probably never going to matter and I have more important things to be worried about. However, c'mon FO, please cut Cory Higgins before his contract becomes guaranteed make it a revolving door for 10 day contracts. If you do this, our collective health as a fan base will be much better.
If for some reason the FO doesn't, I don't want to hear about it. I swear to God if someone feels the need to bring it up every time we talk about our FO I will probably get way angrier than I have any right to get. Sure, it's pretty obvious neptotism, but in the grand scheme of things, Cory Higgins not getting cut isn't going to make or break this franchise.

Our cabin stewardess Elisa was from Mexico and was wonderful , she was always asking if there was anything she could do for us. I felt like saying, yes , make me a towel animal , as in 4 cruises I have never had one .
We eat only in the Horizon self service as we don't like the pomp and ceremony that go with the waiter service . We found it much better now it has the sweet station. My only gripes would be that the food still needs to become more British if they sail from Britain . One lunchtime we had both Shepherds pie and plain roast chicken. 2 of my favorites , I would have preferred them in the evening. On the whole the food was good but I do think there is still room for improvement , maybe more plain food that the ordinary Englishman would like. If you like fancy food , use the restaurants . The other thing was the lack of people gelling their hands before entering.Hardly anyone was doing it and I felt we were sitting targets for bad tummies. One night I watched a teenager go straight in without gelling , then put his hand into the bread rolls, grabbed 3 and put the on his plate without even using the tongs provided.
Our shore stops were lovely , although why they changed Gibraltar and Malaga round we never did find out. Herculaneum was wonderful , much better than Pompeii . Pity we didn't have time to see it all.
Naples was the worst place , A lot of people were telling me that they got off the ship to walk round and felt so threatened that after 5 mins they were heading back to the ship as fast as they could. There was dog mess everywhere and the sea in the harbour was filthy. Pant liners and condoms were some of the sights I saw. On the way to Herculaneum we had to go along the motorway and I could not believe that I saw a shanty town built of wood and plastic bags , with sky dishes on the top . Where did they get electric and TV , if they can't afford a house to live in how can the afford Sky TV.
The entertainment was mediocre to say the least , the jokes were the same for each comedian and the ships dancers and singers were like beginners.
One thing I will say is that we were stopped by Customs and I had tobacco . We found out that we were allowed 10 packs of duty free between us and unlimited as long as we had bought it from the Tabac shop in Spain and had paid Spanish duty on it.We could mix the two . Apparently the duty free shops in Spain had been telling everyone they could take back as much duty free as they wanted , which was wrong and some people in front of us had a suitcase full of cigs , the last we saw of them was as they were taken to the interview room. All in all I would say that we had a wonderful cruise. The people were friendly, the food not bad , Only a couple of things to moan about but they didn't ruin our time on the ship. Another thing I would like to add , in case Princess are reading this , we went to book next years cruise last Saturday and there was no OBC offered , we said we wouldn't bother till there was as it makes a big difference to the cost of a cruise. The people in front of us booked with P&O and got £799 OBC .Also , on our first cruise we had 9 ports of call now it's just 7 . So we may look at changing ships for next year.

Amity man injured in Highway 99W crash
Mar 1, 2013
News-Register Staff
AMITY — An Amity resident was injured about 5 p.m. Thursday in a single-vehicle crash south of Amity on Highway 99W at McKee Road.
Eric E. Calhoun, 22, of 1208 S. Jellison St. was transported by Life Flight helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. A hospital spokesperson said today she could not comment on his condition.
Calhoun, driving a 2001 Hyundai Sonata, was southbound when he failed to negotiate a slight left turn, according to the Oregon State Police. The vehicle left the highway and struck a utility pole, bringing down power lines.
A Portland General Electric crew responded to repair damage to the pole. The highway was closed for several hours and traffic was detoured by an Oregon Department of Transportation crew at Yampo Road to the south of the crash site and at Nursery Avenue/Amity Road to the north.

The New York Times' Claire Cain Miller wondered if that was allowed. "It is questionable whether that follows the game's rules," she wrote.
Computer security legend, Bruce Schneier, decided it isn't allowed.
"Questionable? Questionable?" He wrote today on his blog. "It just like using a computer's dictionary while playing Scrabble, or a computer odds program while playing poker, or a computer chess program while playing an in-person game. There's no question at all -- it's cheating."
Schneier then pointed out, "We're seeing the birth of a new epithet, 'glasshole.'"
Urban Dictionary, keeper of all things meme, already has a definition for it. "Glasshole" means "a person who constantly talks to their Google Glass, ignoring the outside world."

(WMC-TV) - The Shelby County Commission will vote Wednesday on a resolution to capture Tourist Development Zone dollars that are now designated to be used by the City of Memphis to develop the Mid-South Fairgrounds.
For the first time, city leaders are speaking up about where the funds are going.
Commissioner Steve Basar says if the money goes to the city, it will divert $2 million per year away from schools.
The city contends the county will get money for schools either way.
The state allows either a county or city to apply for TDZ dollars. In this case, the city had already applied to turn part of the Fairgrounds into a sports complex.
Basar says the development would compete with nearby Cooper-Young and Overton Square entertainment districts, but the city contends it will enhance tourism in those areas.

Thompson Talks More TrelawneyMovies
Having taken a snippet from a Telegraph article, Contact Music has a short article with Emma Thompson discussing Trelawney. The scene she seemingly describes as part of PoA is pretty much something that happens in Order of the Phoenix:
"I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn't much of a stretch."Update: I hadn't noticed this before, even while reading the Telegraph article but - it seems Contact Music willfully changed the Thompson quote. It says in their version that Thompson says "I have a nervous breakdown in the film." Here's what it says in the Telegraph.
In the next Harry Potter film, she will be playing Professor Trelawney, the professor of divination. "I get to wear huge, googly glasses and I have a nervous breakdown and I get to stand at the top of the stairs, waving an empty bottle of sherry," she says gleefully.
We probably won't see Trelawney break down in the PoA film. It's much more likely she's just talking about the character in general, even showing her knowledge of her through OotP. Looks like someone took what the reporter said in the Telegraph and attributed it to the interviewee - bad journalism at its best.
Thanks again Sue, for the link! Click below for clips from the Telegraph article.
Here are excerpts from the long Telegraph piece:
"The crust of consumerism over Christmas is so hard now that I don't see
how anyone can successfully break through it, except within the confines of
the family."
She pauses. "I'm sorry to be so political, but I just hate what's been done to it." Her shoulders perform a sad shrug.
"It was very difficult for me to have a child, because I had miscarriages
and things," she says. "Gaia was IVF and it's the best thing I've ever done
and the best thing anyone could ever do.
"For me, having a child was an everyday miracle that transformed the landscape as completely as death transforms it, and it was as profound an experience as death, which was the only thing I had to compare it to.
's extraordinary. It's like a thunderbolt. It's like a meteor hitting your world. Nothing's ever the same again and there's this bloody great crater of motherhood out of which you are never going to climb. And, you know, it's fabulous. It's the best thing."
"My child teaches me everything about being human. People say that children
can be cunning or naughty, but I don't really think they can. Children are
remarkable and incredibly balanced and unbelievably just and
extraordinarily kind. And if you can preserve that, they are liable to grow
into human beings that have some sort of chance of being fully human. You
just have to try not to interfere too much and to allow their humanising
influence on you to take its course."
In the next Harry Potter film, she will be playing Professor Trelawney, the professor of divination. "I get to wear huge, googly glasses and I have a nervous breakdown and I get to stand at the top of the stairs, waving an empty bottle of sherry," she says gleefully.
"My daughter is not quite into Harry Potter yet, but, of course, I am doing it for her so that later she will be impressed. If she only watches Howards End, she will say, `Mum, it's so boring!'"

As I See It
Jack Garvey
---- — What do the Mayan calendar and Mitt Romney have in common?
No, they did not both end this year.
That fabled, feared calendar only seemed to expire — for a reason so obvious that only the Internet echo chamber could hide it:
Dec. 21 was the winter solstice, a day when peoples around the world since the beginning of calendared time have stopped chopping the stone.
And started chopping another. So a stone starting at Dec. 22, 2012, will someday be unearthed in time to worry our descendants huddling in high-rise oceanfront shelters in Ohio and Utah.
Yes, I already hear the hackles of those who still insist global warming is a hoax — and those who say that arming teachers is the only "constitutional" way to keep children safe from psychos with multi-round automatic rifles.
A simple click of the mouse will deliver you into the echo chamber of their evidence. Then hit the remote to hear it all amplified on Fox News.
Thomas Frank recently noted this dynamic in "Pity the Billionaire," an analysis of the extremist Tea Party takeover of the GOP since 2009.
Examples of distorted science and history fill the book, some of them hilarious, all of them fabricated by websites with American flag backdrops and names such as "Freedom Works" and "Americans for Prosperity."
To research these subjects, you have a choice:
Either read the scientists and historians who dedicate years of their lives to their work — and offer lists of their own sources.
Or type a few words into a search engine that lists links with those words — beginning with websites gaining the most traffic that day or week.
For example, historians — much like grandparents — tell us that the New Deal brought us out of the Great Depression, put us back to work, made us prosper.
Conversely, numerous new, rabid websites, fueled and fanned by those who make no secret of wanting to privatize the New Deal's every public commitment, tell us that FDR didn't just fail but made the Depression worse.
They do this with any and all subjects, real or imaginary. Kenyan birth, anyone? Death panels? Jeeps from China?
On Nov. 1, a letter on this page claimed that Democrats intend to double Medicare deductions from seniors' income.
An editor's note added that this had "no basis in fact" though it was "widely posted on Internet sites."
Quoting the AARP, the claim was "an attempt to scare older Americans" — as if FDR's admonition against "fear itself" was not a cry to rally us, but a blueprint for how to trick us.
That editorial note is called "fact-checking," something lost on those who prefer the convenience of "widely posted" claims.
Hence, a Romney staffer's open declaration: "We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers."
Result? A never-before-seen strategy: The Romney/Ryan campaign expected voters to disbelieve readily accessible evidence.
Doctored quotations kept tripping off Romney's tongue, something with which Newt Gingrich bitterly confronted him during a Florida primary debate.
By summer, the GOP embraced the tactic with their convention's indignant theme — adapted from Romney's warp of Obama's reference to public infrastructure into a reference to private business:
"Yes, We Built It!"
If bearing false witness were a crime, the site of the Republicans' next national convention would be a choice between Leavenworth and Sing Sing.
With unchecked Internet sites for support, however, false witness is now "balanced" opinion, and the Grand Obstructionist Party figures to "romney" the future.
Consider a romneyed past:
The Gettysburg Address romneyed into a wish to have government "of the people, by the people, for the people perish from the earth."
The Declaration of Independence romneyed into a groveling concession that "dissolves the bands of liberty."
The Lord's Prayer romneyed into a travel brochure for Las Vegas: "Give us our trespasses, lead us into temptation, deliver us evil."
Give me one hour and a pint of Guinness and I'll romney the Sermon on the Mount into a synopsis for "The Art of the Deal."
One stone may be full, one political career finished, but both the Mayan calendar and romneying will continue through 2013 and beyond.
One chopped onto another stone, the other clicked from thin air.

vacation rental description
Welcome and thank you for considering our property! Heights Hacienda is a fantastic three-bedroom, two-bath (1600 sf) vacation rental home in the beautiful Travis Heights neighborhood, just a couple of blocks from vibrant South Congress ("SoCo") and its many restaurants, boutique shops, and premier live music venues. You're also minutes by car, bike, cab, bus, or foot from the center of downtown and the 6th Street, Warehouse (4th Street) and 2nd Street entertainment districts, the Texas State Capitol, and the University of Texas. The Congress Avenue "Bat" Bridge, which marks the edge of downtown, is just over a mile away and the Long Performing Arts and Palmer Event Centers, the hike-and-bike trail, Barton Springs and Zilker Park (site of the Austin City Limits Music Festival and the Trail of Lights) are at your doorstep. Heights Hacienda is across the street from Stacy Park, a Travis Heights landmark that practically connects the house with Lady Bird/Town Lake, and which has a great year-round free pool.
Heights Hacienda is a Spanish-inspired stucco garden home with beautiful brick, iron, and tile work in the spacious entrance courtyard with fountain and in the manicured backyard. (Although technically a duplex, the home shares no common areas - the courtyard and backyard are reserved for your exclusive use.) The hacienda "feel" continues to the interior, with tile and hand-scraped hardwood floors throughout and a great room with vaulted ceiling. The furnishings are elegant but were selected with comfort in mind -- this is Austin, after all! (Much of the art in the house was acquired at Art From the Streets, a volunteer-run program that supports and benefits clients of the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless ("ARCH"). A portion of rental proceeds will also go to support their work.) The Hacienda sleeps 6 guests in its three bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, and 2 twins) and can accommodate up to 4 additional guests on two queen sleeper sofas. The master bedroom has an en suite bath. With two living and dining areas inside and additional seating in the garden, Heights Hacienda is equipped to handle even large groups comfortably. IF YOU NEED MORE ROOM, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT HEIGHTS HIDEAWAY, LISTING # 84638, WHICH CAN BE RENTED TOGETHER WITH THE HACIENDA TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO 16 GUESTS.
Whether you're coming to experience the "Third Coast's" world-class music and art scene, participate in Austin's abundant outdoor activities, or simply explore the great restaurants, shopping, and funky vibe that make Austin a top-rated travel destination and place to live, Heights Hacienda is your perfectly-Austin "home away from home."
We look forward to your visit!

A Dose of Nuance: Walking away from Alice Walker

Anti-Semites come and go. Walker is not the first, nor will she be the last.

All Quiet on the Western Front
, was asked whether he missed Germany, he is reported to have said, "Why should I? I'm not Jewish." Remarque's comment was an edgy swipe at those formerly German Jews who never lost their infatuation with the Fatherland or its culture. Even after Germany became maniacally genocidal, many German Jews could not help themselves but love it.
It's an oft-repeated Jewish pattern. The Jewish belief in the value of human creative genius often reigns so supreme that we refuse to draw lines in the sand; we resist calling something evil even when there is no other way to describe it. Now we're seeing it again – not with Germany, but with the United States. It's reappeared not with Richard Wagner, but with Alice Walker, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
The Color Purple
Walker, as is by now well known, recently refused to allow her novel to be translated into Hebrew. In a letter posted on her website, she explained her reasoning as follows: "… last Fall in South Africa the Russell Tribunal on Palestine met and determined that Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories. The testimony we heard, both from Israelis and Palestinians (I was a jurist) was devastating.
I grew up under American apartheid and this was far worse. Indeed, many South Africans who attended, including Desmond Tutu, felt the Israeli version of these crimes is worse even than what they suffered under the white supremacist regimes that dominated South Africa for so long."
When a person of Walker's obvious intelligence utters such drivel, what we have is not a matter of ignorance. It is a matter of hate. Everyone knows that the condition of Palestinians in the West Bank is far from ideal; we also know that Israel could, and must, do better. But Walker writes as though the Palestinians are identical to the blacks of South Africa; they suffer only because of the color of their skin (or their ethnicity, in this case), not because of anything they have done. She writes as though Israel is the only obstacle to their "freedom," as though Israel is, as a matter of policy, committed to perpetuating their second-class status without end. But no reasonable reading of the Middle East justifies any such claim. There is much to critique about Israeli policy; but the notion that the Palestinians are stateless solely because of Israel, or that they suffer at Israeli hands only because of their ethnicity, is obviously rubbish. Deep down, Alice Walker must know that.
Lest we imagine that what Walker really objects to is the occupation, she even makes a point of saying that Israel is guilty of apartheid inside the Green Line as well.
Really? Again, it is true that Israeli Arabs do not get a fair share of Israel's social bounty, and that must be fixed. But name a single country in which some minorities do not get the short end of the stick. Is every country on the planet therefore guilty of apartheid? And if so, why boycott only Israel? It can't be because of Israel's social policies, which are far better than those of many other countries that Walker is not boycotting.
Why just Israel? In apartheid South Africa, were there blacks on the Supreme Court? (Justice Salim Joubran, an Arab, serves on Israel's highest bench; nor is he the first to do so.) In apartheid South Africa, were there recognized black parties in the parliament, legally pressing for their rights? The list could go on, almost endlessly. Anyone who knows anything about apartheid South Africa and about Israel knows how utterly different the two are.
Alice Walker also knows. But Alice Walker doesn't care. Because this is not about Walker's concern for the Palestinians; it is about her attitude to the Jews.
Yet, à la Remarque's bemused comment about Jews their abiding infatuation even with cultural icons who hate them, there are Jews across the US still wondering how to "bring her around." What can we say to Alice Walker, they ask, to get her to re-think, to understand? Though these questions come from a place of deep goodness, of belief in reason and decency, they also reflect our inability to draw a line in the sand and to demand that hate speech (which is precisely what Walker's letter was) simply be banned from any circles in which we will take part.
We can especially understand those Jews who do not wish to cut their ties with Alice Walker, of all writers. After all, we sympathize with the plight of African Americans, which she evoked so brilliantly in The Color Purple. Her cause was our cause, and rightly so. But our cause, sadly, is not hers. Our ongoing attempt to assure a Jewish future by assuring a vibrant and secure Jewish state is a cause Alice Walker utterly rejects.
Walker, who joined a failed flotilla that had planned to sail from Greece, who openly supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and who has called Israel "the greatest terrorist" in the Middle East, compares Israel to South Africa and to the American South because she hopes for the same outcome – she wants Jewish sovereignty to go the way of apartheid, a rich Jewish future to go the way of the old American South. She does not want the Jews to have the revitalization that the Jewish state is meant to foster.
The real issue, therefore, is not Alice Walker, but us. Anti-Semites come and go. Walker is not the first, nor will she be the last.
There is nothing we can do about that. But there is something we can do about our own reactions. Can we learn to stop coddling cultural geniuses, even though we revere their craft and talent, when they cross certain lines? Can we remind the world that what is truly abhorrent is not a conflict that Israel does not know how to end (though again, Israel could certainly manage it better), but the tarring of all Israelis and all Jews with one brush, as boycotts such as Walker's invariably do? Anthony Julius, in his magisterial
Trials of the Diaspora
, a history of British anti-Semitism, says this about boycotts: "What happens when people are boycotted? The ordinary courtesies of life are no longer extended to them… The boycott is an act of violence, though of a paradoxical kind – one of recoil and exclusion rather than assault… It is a denial, amongst other things, of the boycotted person's freedom of expression… The boycott thus announces a certain moral distaste; it is always self-congratulatory."
Nazi Germany, we should recall, began with boycotts of Jewish businesses, with the boycotting of Jewish intellectuals and professionals.
By and large, German Jews said nothing. Will be we silent once again? This will be our test: Will Jews across the spectrum come to the defense of their people, or will they continue to wallow in their fawning over cultural icons? Will J Street's Jeremy Ben-Ami publicly repudiate Alice Walker? What about Peter Beinart, who continues to insist that he is a Zionist? What about the many American rabbis who have made social activism a cornerstone of their rabbinate? Do they care about Jewish civil rights, too, or is it only other victims who arouse their sympathies? We are going to learn a great deal in the weeks to come. We know what Alice Walker is made of; now it's time to find out what we are made of.

Aiken and Crisco each had about 40 percent of the vote, trailed by licensed family counselor Toni Morris of Fayetteville in Tuesday's primary race in the 2nd Congressional District.
Aiken's first political campaign drew an unusual amount of celebrity buzz thanks to his singing career and a second-place finish on "Celebrity Apprentice." Crisco spent four years as the state's top business recruiter under under former Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue.
The primary winner will challenge incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers in November. Ellmers, first elected in the 2010 tea party wave, handily defeated her challenger in the heavily Republican district.
Aiken has said reporters are the only people asking whether being a gay man could impede his campaign to represent such a conservative district. Both he and Crisco touted themselves as centrists.
"We need to stay out of people's bedrooms," Bob Finch, a 57-year-old Democrat from Lee County, said Tuesday.
Crisco is a former secretary of the North Carolina Department of Commerce and has emphasized his ability to help create jobs for North Carolinians.
The district includes parts of southwest Wake County, sweeps down to Dunn and parts of Fayetteville and then includes a wide swath to the west, including Southern Pines, Sanford and Asheboro.
The district, though, has a heavy Republican majority, meaning any Democrat will have a tough task against Ellmers in the fall. Ellmers ousted Democratic incumbent Bob Etheridge in 2010. In 2012, she received 56 percent of the vote in beating Democrat Steve Wilkins.
Ellmers was dominant in Chatham, Harnett, Randolph and Moore counties and essentially split the vote in Wake County with Wilkins.
Despite the fact that there are many more Democrats in North Carolina than Republicans – roughly 2.8 million to 2 million – the GOP has a big advantage in Moore and Randolph counties, which aided Ellmers.

Creighton falls in Big East debut at Butler
NDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Michelle Sicner had a double-double and became the sixth player in Creighton history to surpass 1,000 career assists, but it wasn't enough as the No. 22-ranked Bluejays fell in four sets at Butler on Friday in the program's first match in BIG EAST history.
Scores in favor of Butler were 24-26, 25-20, 25-17, 25-22.
The preseason league favorite, Creighton fell to 9-4 (0-1 BIG EAST) with the loss. Butler (14-3, 1-1 BIG EAST) was picked sixth in the preseason poll conducted by league coaches in August, but returned all six starters from a 17-win team and entered the match with a No. 53 RPI ranking.
In the closely contested first set Creighton would build a 13-7 lead after a 5-1 run, only to see the hosts answer with a 7-1 surge to tie the score at 14-all. The set featured eight ties before Butler took its first lead at 22-21. Creighton handled the pressure with a kill from Melanie Jereb to knot the score and Jereb then dealt consecutive aces to get CU to set point, 24-22. Butler scored the next two points to tie the score for a 11th and final time, only to see CU win the set on a kill by Leah McNary and a BU attack error. CU won the set despite .368 hitting and 19 kills from Butler, led by five kills in as many swings from Erica Stahl.
Butler rode the right arm of Stahl to win the second set, 25-20, to even the match. Stahl had six kills in 10 swings, and during a key 4-0 run had two kills and a stuff to help BU take a 17-12 lead. Butler had 16 kills on .216 hitting in the frame, while CU was limited to .162 hitting. Kelli Browning topped CU with five kills in the second set.
The Bulldogs continued that momentum into the third set, pulling away late for a 25-17 win to take a 2-1 lead in the match. Butler used a 4-0 burst to build a 21-17 lead and would consistently sideout down the stretch. Creighton hit .083 in the set, while BU hit .294 in the third frame.
Creighton fell behind 12-6 early in the fourth set, only to battle back to knot the score at 15-all. With the score deadlocked at 16-16, the host Bulldogs strung together a 5-0 run to build an insurmountable lead. CU held off two match points before BU got a combo block by Morgan Peterson and Stahl to close out the match.
McNary led Creighton with 15 kills on the evening, while Jereb finished with 10 terminations. Sicner led CU with 42 assists, 14 digs and four blocks. Creighton had 49 kills, 54 digs, four aces and eight blocks on .157 hitting.
Stahl paced BU with 13 kills and .500 hitting, while adding five blocks. Stephanie Kranda had 11 kills and Belle Obert and Mary Streidl each added 10 kills. The Bulldogs had 59 kills, 64 digs, one ace and 9.5 blocks on .275 hitting.
Creighton returns to the court on Saturday at 3 pm Central with a match at Xavier (9-6, 2-0 BIG EAST). The Musketeers beat Seton Hall in four sets on Friday night and also picked up a road win at Butler last Friday.

Don't forget about our "HSH in the News" pageby Tim Manni
If you haven't checked it out recently, be sure to visit the "HSH in the News" section of the blog (at the top-right corner, just below the search box).
Premier media outlets across the country contact HSH.com on a weekly, if not daily, basis, to quote our mortgage rate information and our experts in their news items.
The "HSH in the News" section is just another facet of our overall website which offers readers the latest commentary and information on what's happening in the mortgage and housing markets.
Here are just a few examples of our latest mentions:
October 8, 2010 — "3 Signs the Mortgage Market Has Hit Bottom," a SmartMoney.com article by AnnaMaria Andriotis, quoting HSH.com:
October 7, 2010 — "Fed's $2 Trillion May Buy Little Improvement in Jobs," a Bloomberg article by Craig Torres and Scott Lanman, quoting HSH.com:
Lower home-loan rates may fail to spur additional refinancing because lenders are reluctant to give loans to people who are unemployed or have low credit scores, said Paul Havemann, vice president at HSH Associates, a publisher of consumer-loan data in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.
October 1, 2010 — "Mortgages Are About to get More Expensive," a SmartMoney.com article by AnnaMaria Andriotis, quoting HSH.com:
September 30, 2010 — "Congress holds mortgage limits at nearly $730K," an Associated Press article by Alan Zibel, quoting HSH.com, also appearing on OregonLive.com:
In December 2008, borrowers who wanted a jumbo loan were paying 1.8 percentage points higher on their mortgage rates than convential government-backed loans, according to financial publisher HSH Associates.
That gap narrowed as the crisis eased. As of last week, borrowers who receive jumbo loans were paying a premium of 0.8 percentage points, according to HSH. That's still above a pre-crisis level of 0.25 percentage points.

Sanity Checking By Extrapolation
It may be tempting to dismiss last week's problem as trivial, and argue that one should simply be able to construct a bunch of test cases and be done with it. However, it may not be easy to determine the correct results.
Security Blanket
If your fitness-tracking device has a GPS, you might not appreciate people being able to find your whereabouts.
Open Propeller
The guys over at Parallax (the people who became famous for making the Basic Stamp) rolled out an innovative CPU a few years back called the Propeller.
Why Testing Isn't Enough
Last week, I stated that software is hard to develop. This week, I would like to concentrate on two of the reasons why.
The First TV
Unlike fixing a TV that used to work, if you have a fresh PC board with a new design, anything could be wrong.
Working with Java's BigDecimal
I've found
BigDecimal a bit harder to use than either Java's
double primitive type or
Double class.
Why Is Software So Hard To Develop?
Software is hard to develop for many reasons: We must figure out what to do, do it, and ensure that we have done it correctly.
A Second Try at Refactoring Dijkstra's Example
If you compare my code with Dijkstra's original solution, you will see that in an odd way they are nearly logical duals of each other.
Simple Digital
It seemed a waste to put an I/O board in the system just for one switch closure reading.
CRC: The C Stands for Confusion
Because it is so often abstracted, people don't always make smart choices about selecting and specifying CRCs.

Rick Story (14-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Quinn Mulhern (18-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will be the first of an incredible six welterweight fights on the UFC 158 card tonight from Montreal, QC. The biggest 170 lbs bout of them all is obviously Georges St. Pierre versus Nick Diaz for GSP's title.
It's hard to believe that Rick Story finds himself on the Facebook prelims for the 2nd time in 3 fights. Mulhern is making his UFC debut following several fights in Strikeforce. Their fight will close the Facebook broadcast, which starts at approximately 6:40 PM ET/3:40 PM PT. FX has the rest of the prelims at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT.
How do these two stack up?
Story: 28 years old | 5'10" | 71" reach
Mulhern: 28 years old | 6'3" | 75" reach
What have these two done recently?
Story: L - Demian Maia (SUB) | W - Brock Jardine (UD) | L - Martin Kampmann (UD)
Mulhern: W - Yuri Villefort (SD) | W - David Hulett (UD) | W - Danny Davis (SUB)
How did these two get here?
After Story lost his UFC debut to John Hathaway, "The Horror" won six consecutive fights over the likes of Dustin Hazelett, Johny Hendricks, and Thiago Alves to vault himself into title contention. Story then made a huge choice to fight Nate Marquardt on short-notice in June 2011, only a few weeks removed from his victory over Alves. When Marquardt was pulled and then released from the UFC, Story fought Charlie Brenneman instead and lost by decision. Counting the Brenneman loss he's just 1-3 in his last 4, and was stopped for the first time in his career when he was submitted by Demian Maia at UFC 153.
Mulhern was the #8 ranked welterweight on the 2010 BE Scouting Report. At the time of the report he had recently defeated UFC veteran Rich Clementi by TKO. In June 2011 he debuted in Strikeforce, losing to Jason High by decision. He's since won his last three, and made it to the UFC as part of the move from Strikeforce once they closed operations.
Why should you care?
It was only two years ago that Rick Story was one of the bright talents in the UFC, and now he's possibly fighting for his job. Can he resurrect himself or will Mulhern pull off the upset? You have to care and watch to find out.

Dontae Morris is on trial in a Tampa courtroom for the murder of Rodney Jones in May of 2010. The murder happened outside of the Cotton club as people were leaving from a night of fun and singing. Prosecutors say Morris was out for revenge that night and killed Jones during a robbery.
Assistant State Attorney Scott Harmon says Morris was also out to settle an old score with Jones and was looking for him that night. Harmon told jurors," You will see from the evidence in this case, this wasn't just an attempted robbery, this wasn't just an attempt to rob Rodney Jones, this was premeditated murder." Harmon says Jones was flashing a lot of cash that night in the Cotton Club and Morris noticed.
During the first day of testimony in the case witnesses told jurors, they noticed Morris at the Cotton Club that night because he stood out in the crowd. High School teacher Linda Johnson says she noticed Rodney Jones because he was holding a large wad of cash.
Johnson says when she went outside, she heard gunfire and saw people running. Morris's defense attorney says even though people saw his client at the Cotton Club, none of them can say they saw Morris kill Jones that night.
Defense attorney Byron Hileman told jurors, "None of them could say that they saw and could identify who shot and killed Rodney Jones." The state says Morris texted a girlfriend after the murder to try and establish an alibi. Jurors are expected to see those texts during the course of the trial.

Laconia High junior, Francis Wayland Parker Scholar of the Month, looks beyond the books
"Shedding conventional tools and books, teachers have developed their own techniques and methods," Pond wrote in her winning essay. "They make learning interesting, engaging students."
Pond, a junior who is second in her class, said she was thrilled to be selected.
"Oh I was shocked," she said. "I didn't expect to be a finalist at all and didn't expect to win."
Pond said she is interested in studying either science or English when she goes to college. Her selection as the Scholar of the Month may have inspired her to pursue writing or teaching, she said.
"Seeing that I can write something and be acknowledged like this is really encouraging," Pond said.
The Francis Wayland Parker Scholar program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Association of School Principals, in cooperation with the New Hampshire Union Leader, Lifetouch Studios and the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Northern New England.
Other nominees for February were:
Amy Sharpe, Hopkinton High School; Jacob Parzych, Campbell High School; Gergana Alteva, Lebanon High School; Sabrina Tedeschi, Plymouth Regional High School; Sara Topic, Manchester Central High School; Keegan Caraway, Mascoma Valley Regional High School; Christian Leefmans, Exeter High School and Noah Cote, Manchester High School West.
