Peter Konz Center from Wisconsin
Why SF should draft him: Konz provides depth and versatility on the O-Line. He will start at RG and move in to the Center position as Jonathan Goodwin's contract slowly wicks away. Konz is a natural center with tremendous production.
Why SF should NOT draft him: In front of SF in the draft order are the Baltimore Ravens and Green Bay Packers. Both these team have aging Centers and will likely draft Peter Konz before SF (Baltimore moreso than GB). I don't see SF giving up future picks to move up to 27 (New England).
Coby Fleener Tight End from Stanford
Why SF should draft him: Fleener is a matchup nightmare for any team and is a step in the right direction when attempting to resolve SF's offensive Red Zone concerns. Having Fleener will make SF's schedule less intimidating. Drafting him also means we don't have to cover him...at least in real games.
Why SF should NOT draft him: As a tight end, Fleener is not much of a blocker. He gets in the way of defenders more than he blocks. Tight end is not a position of need for SF and would be a reach at #30 if viewed from this lens. With Andrew Luck as his QB, Fleener did not get as many receptions as you'd like in a 1st round-rated tight end. Over the past 3 years he accumulated 83 receptions, which is average at best for tight ends.
Kevin Zeitler Guard from Wisconsin
Why SF should draft him: Kevin Zeitler is the most proven guard behind David DeCastro and fills a need for SF at pick #30. Kevin Zeitler played in a run first offense and has tremendous production in college. He is also a gym rat that has the type of strength and power that translates into his plays on the field.
Why SF should NOT draft him: Zeitler does not provide much versatility in that he will only play the Guard position. If the aforementioned names are available SF will likely select a Center with versatility or a tight end with dangerous potential. If Amini Silotolu is available at #30 as well as Zeitler, SF will be tempted to trade down into the early 2nd round. Though Silotolu is less developed, he has a higher ceiling than Zeitler, but also has more potential to be a bust.
Stephen Hill Wide Receiver from Georgia Tech
Why SF should draft him: Stephen Hill is an athletic specimen at the WR position combining size (6'4" 215 lbs) with tremendous in-line speed 4.36 sec, 40-yard dash. Hill showed dependable hands and body control at the NFL combine and would add depth and competition to an already accomplished pool of WRs in SF.
Why SF should NOT draft him: Stephen Hill produced small scale results at Georgia Tech compiling only 45 receptions in 3 years of football at the collegiate level. Hill's best attributes are his height and speed, which already exists on SF's roster, Ted Ginn Jr. and Randy Moss. Hill has limited YAC (Yards After Contact) ability that is necessary in the West Coast Offense.
Janoris Jenkins Corner Back from North Alabama
Why SF should draft him: Janoris Jenkins is an every down player, that has the great ball skills and even better anticipation. Jenkins has the physicality to play press and support the run on early downs. In the past 3 years, only 2 CBs have been able to consistently shutdown AJ Green and Julio Jones at the college level. One of them was Patrick Peterson drafted 5th overall by the Cardinals. The other player was Janoris Jenkins.
Why SF should NOT draft him: Jenkins is undersized, measuring only 5'10" and will struggle when defending taller WRs in Red Zone scenarios as demonstrated in the Senior Bowl. Jenkins brings with him a lot of question marks about his character and extracurricular activities. Though Jenkins will be an upgrade to the secondary, it is not a position with tremendous need.

By: CollinDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 6:25 PMComment: Here's to the draft!! I'm looking forward to watching Alex play this season. He's got everything to lose. With stakes so high, he's gotta be better than last. Been a fan since the beginning. His uncertain future with the Niners is no joke though. Any other team and he'd be unemployed right now.
By: JakeDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 6:16 PMComment: Hey Bob, why crows?
By: Bob JarmanDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 4:29 PMComment: Well maybe I was seeing something different with T. Brown and since he's our guy I hope you all are right and I'm wrong... seems to be the consencus. But, with Alex, He had different scemes and coaches etc etc, I don't think he was ever comfortable or completly knowledgeable due to all the changes he had every year. We'll see what happens this year, but I feel pretty good you all are going to eat some crow when it comes to alex. I'm trending forward on what happened and Jasper you are trending back which is always the easier road to take. Go alex and go niners!!!! Remember what I said about alex cause I'm gonna remind ya at the end of the season.Response: I'll remind you in an updated article about how Kaepernick was the future QB all along.=) Thanks for reading the article and for your comments.
By: kaneDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 4:12 PMComment: I'm totally digging this article. I don't want go against any of the guys in this article. I want them on our team!
By: JasperDDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 4:04 PMComment: To Bob: I think it's a bit of reach to say that Alex will do better this season and the next. Lucky for him, the Niners are still willing to embrace his lack-ofs and invest in the (debatable) skills he may have. I predict this is his last season as starter unless magic happens and we win a championship under his leadership. I don't doubt him. I'm critical because he's had way too many chances to grow and display. And yes, T. Brown was freaking awesome last year.
By: Bob JarmanDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 3:16 PMComment: You make some good points and naturally you seem to be more knowledgeable on 49er issues than I am. Harbaugh has spoken on competition being important at all positions this year and perhaps that's what his plan is with Johnson to put the onus on the other Qbs. All players give up plays on defense, but I thought Terrell gave up more than his share. Niners were still vulnerable in the air last year. But I might have to conceed the CB issue to you since the niners seem to agree with you more than I by the moves they've made. We'll see. But, I'm still standing strong with Alex being the guy the next 2 and probably 3 years. I read a story by Troy Aikman, he stated how Alex had a better second year than he did and they both had Norv Turner as their offensive coordinators. Only difference was alex in his third year had the coaching revolving door begin and Troy had Norv there as his OC through their superbowl winning years. Troy thought if perhaps alex had kept Norv as his OC we might have seen a different Alex. With Alex I tend to go with the new trend I'm seeing and that is he's flourishing under Harbaugh rather than the old trend most would take Alex having problems winning.Response: I was one of the biggest defenders of Alex Smith for the first 6 years he was in SF. I still like the guy and believe he can be a good QB, but to me, his problems are with decisiveness and accuracy. To me, those two things have nothing to do with the playbook. I think he's gotten a lot better, but I don't trust that his skill set will take this team to the Super Bowl. I can say more about Alex, but I think this is a good point to agree that we disagree.
By: Bob JarmanDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 2:26 PMComment: In response to my last. I thought I might be reaching with Kaepernick, I want to see the niners do something aggresive because now is their best time to win a superbowl. Most everything is in place. I think they will make a move somehow and not stay pat at pick 30, what I don't know. Niners need to make moves towards winning now. I don't agree with you, I think alex is the niners starter for certain the next 2 years and perhaps three. I see Alex having a better year than last year and I feel just about 100% certain of that. Johnson got a 2 million dollar contract for 2 years and he will make this team. If he's to be the third string QB, which I agree, he won't pass Kaep on the QB rank. I think the niners made a mistake. That money could of gone towards a more immediate need. That's why I thought the niners might not have as much confidence in Kaep. But, not only you, many others tell me I wrong with that assumption on Kaep. Also, I don't think niners shored up their CB position enough. Tarrell brown will be a bit of a weak link I think. I could be wrong on that, but don't feel real good about one CB spot.Response: I agree with you with regards to a push for a super bowl ring. On paper, it doesn't appear that SF has many holes that could not be filled up with a few strong picks in the draft. I disagree with you about Alex Smith. I think Alex will be the starter the remainder of this season, at best and will play backup thereafter if he is willing to take a reduction in pay. Just take a look at Alex's contract that he signed for 3 year $24 million (which doesn't include $9.5M in incentives). Alex is making 8 million guaranteed in 2012. If we assume he puts up the same numbers as last year, he's likely to earn $1.25M in incentives. However, SF can release him in 2013 and only owe him $1M dollar if they wanted to. The contract doesn't provide any security for Alex beyond this season. By the way, the only way Josh makes all 2 million dollars is if he becomes the eventual starter. Right now, all SF gave him was a 350k signing bonus. In the event that SF does not keep him, we don't owe him anything more. Why do you feel Tarrell Brown is a weak link? I thought he played brilliantly for us last year. There's very few shutdown CBs in the league, the rest all play to a defensive scheme. The CBs on our roster excel in Fangio's defense.
By: bob jarmanDate: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 11:43 AMComment: Niners should trade Kaepernick to move up to somewhere early in the first round who'd be interested in taking Tannehill. Niners got Johnson and 2 million is too much fora third string QB. Trade up with Kaep, then trade down once or twice and package to get quality players who can play NOW! The iron is hot and we need to strike now for the superbowl. RG, CB, RB, Safety and DT. We could package to possibly get these 5 players in the first four rounds and all would be quality players. May end up giving up a 2nd, 3rd or 4th rd pick or picks next year, but will pay off now with strong depth in the draft at several of the afore mentioned positions. Superbowl NOW!!!! Bold moves, but it could work!Response: I am a huge Kaepernick fan and perceive him taking over the 49er offense midway through the 2012 season. Johnson signed a practice squad -like contract and still has to compete to make SF's team and Johnson is 3rd on the QB depth chart, not Kaepernick. Keep in mind, SF traded up to grab Kaepernick in the 2nd round last year. Safety is not real deep this year, but a steal would be Blake Gideon from Texas in the 4th/5th round. A DT can be taken in the 2nd/3rd round if SF sees this as a need. I think we can improve at RB, but would not be upset if SF didn't draft a RB until after the 4th round. As for CB, I'm comfortable with the group of DBs on our roster. With Rogers returning and the addition of Perrish Cox, SF has fortified that secondary.
By: Inspector ClouseauDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 4:55 PMComment: While I agree with your assessment here, it would be surprising if any writers were able to predict what this current group of coaches is planning. I predict the 49ers select RB Doug Martin. Do the 49ers really need a new RB this year? No. Is Doug Martin awesome? Yes.Response: I'm proud to say that I had Doug Martin rated on my top 5 RB list before Mike Mayock.
By: MikeDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 4:40 PMComment: Zeitler and Jenkins are the only players from this list that make sense. Stephen Hill has done nothing and Fleener is a luxury pick. If we strengthen the O-line, that plus another year under Harbaugh would improve the offense a lot. If you draft defense, you strengthen the unit that got you this far in the first place. There are a lot of quality WR's we can get in the middle rounds that will strengthen that unit and provide plenty of competition. I personally would love to see us draft Missouri TE Michael Egnew in the 4th if he is still available. Look at his numbers from two years ago when Gabbert was there. Prior to last season he was being talked abouit as the best TE in college football. The quarterback play at Mizzou dropped off, not Egnew.Response: I like the approach to draft a WR in the middle rounds. Egnew in the 4th round is right where I have him rated. Here's a 6'5" TE who ran a 4.53 sec, 40 yard dash. He's a pass-catching TE (90 receptions in 2011) that excelled when Gabbert was QB. In 2011, he still had above average production with 50 receptions. The real question is whether he will provide value in the Red Zone. I see that he has a 36" vertical, but his college career has only resulted in 8 TDs. For comparison, Fleener caught 10 TDs in the 2011 season and 18 TDs in 3 seasons with Stanford. The real question you have to answer is whether you are trying to resolve the red zone concerns with Egnew, because SF already has plenty of WRs, TEs, and RBs to deliver the football to.
By: NapoleonDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 4:03 PMComment: I'll admit, i see the offensive line as the most important part of an offense, a bad o-line ends a drive down field real quick. but the niners have been drafting o-linemen in the first and second rounds for the past few years now (Staley, Davis and Iupati in the first) and i have never seen a drastic improvement come from their addition. also our o-line isn't broken (needs improvement definitely) but our red zone efficiency and scoring in general is down right laughable. a fast first round TE to compliment our most productive receiver (Davis) is the only decision that makes sense, then maybe a center or right tackle in the 2-4th round.Response: I think last year was the first time that SF showed some fight on the offensive line. We would have had a stellar OL had SF not let go of David Baas. However, to address your point SF has made some moves in free agency to address the Red Zone woes (e.g. Randy Moss, Mario Manningham, Brandon Jacobs, etc.) SF has done absolutely nothing to address the void at RG, in fact we lost the two starters we had last season. Even if we shuffle guys around on the OL, we wouldn't have much depth there. Also, despite SF's silly red zone efficiency, we went 13-3 and was 1 good play away from the Superbowl.
By: MattDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 3:47 PMComment: I've seen a couple defensive players mentioned at this pick. Most recently Reyes...why were they not included? Do you feel it is a forgone conclusion an offensive player is the pick?Response: I've seen Reyes at #30 as well. He played very well at the senior bowl and was one of the standouts from that game. He has good power at the point of attack and uses his hands effectively. He has good quickness off the line to beat trap blocks and can disengage from blocks with relative ease. One of Reyes' downside is that he accumulated only 7 sacks in 3 years at Connecticut. I think he would be a great fit for SF's DL, but with more pressing need and better prospects on the Offensive side of the ball, I would be quite surprise to see SF land a DL here.
By: NapoleonDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 3:40 PMComment: the niners are garbage in the red zone, we protect alex well enough that adding a new lineman in the first round would be silly to say the least. Fleener lining up opposite to Davis is a combo that will make the top teams in the league piss themselves. if Fleener is on the board at 30 and we don't take him... well it'll be Smith vs Rodgers style mistake all over againResponse: SF was really lucky that Snyder played as well as he did last season otherwise we would have a much higher draft pick this year. With Snyder gone, there's really no telling that Alex will even have the same amount of time in the pocket he had last year. We all know from previous seasons how a poor OL can ruin the entire season. I don't think it is ever silly to fortify an OL, especially one that is so highly dependent on the run.
By: StevenDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 3:32 PMComment: I would go none of the above in the first round. I would go DL for sure. The DL is aging, thin and an injury away from problems. Keep the line solidResponse: I think SF will address DL in the 2nd/3rd round. As I wrote in previous articles, SF was fortunate to not have any significant injuries at the DT position otherwise we would be in trouble. I don't think the RJF project has been successful, he'll really need to compete his tail off to make it on the team this year.
By: Nick S.Date: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 2:39 PMComment: Give me Stephen Hill over Coby Fleener every day of the week.Response: I beg to differ. I will take Fleener over Hill any day. Heck, I would take Ted Ginn over Hill any day, at least with Ginn you are guaranteed 2 return for TDs every time you play the Seahawks.
By: e de mexDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 2:29 PMComment: jenkins is an every down player?? i never heard of a CB who could only play on 1 and 2 but had to come out on 3rd down or who could only play on 3rd down.. crack me up with this experts.Response: There are CBs who only play on third downs. They are called nickel backs. Some CB are excellent in run support, but are liabilities in coverage (Nate Clements is an example of this). Some CB are excellent in coverage, but lack run support (Deion Sanders was an example of this). My point is that Jenkins can cover and support the run. =)
By: willDate: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 2:24 PMComment: ..so basically the only options are the guys the beat writers have written about.Response: There are a lot of options for the 49ers. I tried to provide a strong rationale for going in any direction based on available prospects at pick 30. If there are players you'd like to hear about please let me know and I will provide an addendum to this article.

Obituary For My Friend
You don't know true sorrow until you lose a dog
It was early on the first day of the EAA Northwest Regional Fly-In at Arlington, Wash., and Marlene called me at the exhibit. She sounded strange, so I walked away from the booth for some privacy and stood in the middle of a wide and grassy fire lane with lines of exhibit booths on both sides. Then a voice I knew said words that I understood, but that my brain refused to comprehend: "Budd, Nizhoni died about an hour ago."

Is there a solution to skyrocketing fuel prices?
I did something incredibly stupid the other day. My fuel is on an open account, and the price is always buried in a seldom-seen monthly statement. So, I asked the price. The nice young lady said (with a perfectly straight face) that because I'm a tenant, I get a discount. I'm only paying $3.88.

Remembering Curtis Pitts
Some losses are extremely hard to accept
I had just parked in front of my insurance agent's office and was cursing myself for forgetting to bring the premium check when it hit me. It was as if someone way down at the end of a long, gloomy tunnel had whispered, "Curtis just died." I looked down and saw goose bumps on my arms.

The Derelicts
Are airplanes ever so far gone that they're truly dead?
I've mentioned them before—those long-dead, thoroughly baked carcasses I taxi past each day that at some time in the past, were airplanes. Now they're aeronautically shaped mounds of dust and bird droppings that occupy the last tie-down spots on the ramp. It's as if they're purposely quarantined away from "real" airplanes, those that fly, so as to not pass on the lethal disease they may carry. Out here, we refer to those kinds of airplanes as roaches. Don't ask why. It just seems to fit.

Whether real or imaginary, these obstacles keep us in and others out
Yesterday evening, a friend and I were flying across the desert a few miles south of Phoenix, when my fellow pilot asked, "Hey, wanna look at the horses?"
A wing dropped, and I found myself looking down at 30 horses that ignored us as we spiraled down around them. They were in a loose bunch in the sagebrush. Some were grazing, others were lying down, while a couple chased each other around in what appeared to be an equine game of tag. Every color and pattern was represented and spring had obviously arrived, as a number of colts frolicked about.

Time Flies
Tomorrow has a way of becoming yesterday entirely too quickly
As I'm typing this, my little red airplane is in the hos-pital for a 100-hour inspec-tion that is going to cost nearly 1⁄5 of what the air-plane is valued new. Every time the phone rings, it's another one of those $1,000 calls. Yesterday, I was in a funk when I figured out that I would have to fly it another 100 hours just to pay for that inspection and then it would be time for yet another inspection.

Young Geniuses
When do you get too old to be a prodigy?
The other night, at the urging of a friend, Marlene and I did something we rarely do: We went to see a band play at a local watering hole (I would have said "dive," but didn't feel it necessary to be that accurate). The actual reason we went was because we kept hearing about Nick Sterling, this unbelievable local guitar player that everyone, from MTV to Gibson Guitar, was falling all over. We weren't disappointed. He was an experience not to be missed, and this was just weeks after his 14th birthday.

Fear Of Flying
Conquering it may just be a matter of control
Am I the only person in the aviation world who has ever gone through, and still goes through, periods of apprehension when it comes to flying? I can even go so far as to say that I'm maybe even a little afraid. In my case, I don't mean ready-to-soil-myself scared. I mean, I'll be chugging along at about 4,000 feet, and for the briefest of moments and for absolutely no reason, a little twinge of fear sneaks a quick jab to my confidence. Then, it's gone.

No Offense
Keeping quiet may be the safest tactic, but it's not always the best
Exactly what part of the brain controls our egos, anyway? Since I'm not a shrink and simply apply what I've seen over a lifetime, I'd have to say that the part that controls our aviation ego is also tasked with the management of our sexual ego. This has to be the case and the reason for our egos because you get exactly the same reaction when you insult, degrade or, in any way, question a guy's ability in either of those areas.

Recovering From The EAA AirVenture

We had just returned from Oshkosh, Wis., late last night, which is another way of saying that today, I'm going to be nearly useless. There are lots of things to be done, but I don't have enough energy in order to cope, so screw 'em. That stuff will get done tomorrow.

Serendipitous Encounters
Sometimes, being in the right place at the right time is a spiritual experience
We were in the pattern and just in the process of turning downwind from crosswind when the tower said, "Eight-papa-bravo, you're number two to a Liberator that will be crossing over the airport to join downwind in front of you. He'll be doing a low pass."

Useless Aviation
Just because you don't do it doesn't mean it shouldn't be done
Useless aviation. Now, there's a term you seldom hear. It popped up in an e-mail that was addressed to me last week. The writer, a longtime pilot himself, was explaining that because I've chronicled various battles with off-airport individuals, he thought it was important that I understand that as you get older and can no longer fly, you lose patience with those involved in "useless" aviation—those who make noise and aren't accomplishing anything.

Gréyjà Vu
Clouds happen—even in Arizona
Wow! I just returned from the airport where I had to cancel a hop because the clouds were down around 700 feet and it was raining. This is spectacularly unusual for me. In fact, in 12 years of flying here in Arizona, it's only the ninth time weather (usually it's the wind) has stopped me from flying with a student.

Flying Is Exercise
Being a hangar potato is actually hard work! No, really!
Until recently, I was convinced that the only exercise I get is pushing a computer mouse around between trips to the refrigerator (it's a rule that periods of procrastination can only be interrupted for fridge trips).
Last week, however, while defending myself in a conversation with a student who insisted golf was good exercise, I arrived at a startling realization—I actually do exercise, but it's disguised as flying.

Setting The Record Straight
I'm not on the outside, looking in. I'm just on the outside.
Lyn "I'm the boss?" Freeman, Plane & Pilot's leader (a scary thought, at best) challenged me to put my flight-instructing skills to the test by checking him out in my airplane for an article. I figured, sure. It ought to be fun. I mean, it's just a little article, right? And we'll have a good time flying. But, the flying aspect turned out to be nothing compared to the talking part and the aftermath when the article came out.

ABBA were a merger of two married couples - Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad and Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Bjorn Ulvaeus - who not only went on to become the 1970s' biggest pop phenomenon, but captured the imaginations of succeeding generations. They first made it big winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo, as memorable for their outrageous costumes as the incessantly frothy music. They confounded those who dismissed them as one-hit wonders with a string of brilliantly crafted Number 1 hits, including S.O.S, Take A Chance On Me, Super Trouper, Knowing Me Knowing You, Thank You For The Music and Dancing Queen, written by Benny and Bjorn. Tensions within the band arose as both marriages collapsed and, though they never officially split, they stopped working together in 1982. Benny and Bjorn wrote the Chess musical with Tim Rice and the ABBA legend was cemented by the Mamma Mia stage show and movie, which introduced their music to new audiences.

The Tampa Bay Rays announced a three-year contract extension for manager Joe Maddon today that should keep him as Rays manager through the 2015 season.
Maddon is one of the best managers in baseball, and has completely transformed the Tampa Bay franchise since taking over in 2006. Before Maddon became the Rays' skipper, the highest win total in team history was 70. Maddon's lowest total over the last four seasons has been 84, en route to leading Tampa to three playoff bids, two AL East titles, and one AL pennant.
Generally thought of as one of the game's brightest minds, the 58 year-old Maddon was expected to be a hot commodity this offseason for teams in need of a new manager. With a variety of managers possibly on the hot seat in 2012, and a few managers whose deals are expiring after this year, the eccentric Maddon could have been a good fit for many of them. Instead, he'll continue to call Tampa Bay home as he looks to continue to guide the young Rays to success.

If you have a collection of mailing list archives from Mailman (example here) is there a good way to make them searchable from a web-based interface?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
i've used htdig for this task with several different mailing list programs - majordomo, ecartis, and mailman.
htdig can be used with Mailman's own pipermail, but i find the combination of mhonarc (to create a nice browsable archive - IMO far better/more flexible than pipermail) and htdig to be particularly good.
Make it public, and then just let google index them. You can even make a google custom search that will search just your website.
Google do search quite well, and it's completly headache free.

This year there has been a slide in the proportion of food produced in the UK for British consumers. We're calling on government, the food industry and shoppers to put British farming - and feeding the nation - at the heart of their decision making. We're now just 60% self sufficient - despite British farmers being geared up to produce more, sustainably, for the long term.
David invited us to his farm to video the tragic events unfolding. The result is an emotionally charged yet shocking video. We make no apologies for that. This is the distressing reality that farmers like David are having to face as bovine TB continues to devastate farming families across large parts of the country.
HS2 raises the prospect of an unacceptable treble hit. Firstly, essential farmland is being lost to the line; secondly, larger areas which have been highlighted for habitat creation and tree planting will take valuable food-producing land out of production. And thirdly, far more new habitat is being imposed than is being lost on a questionable 'bigger is better' principle.
Back in the UK one could blame the farmers but the real culprit is our government and their ideology of scrapping environmental regulations in the absurd belief that a free market will hold back the waters. Whether through corruption, ideological dogma or an obsession with self-serving headlines rather than finding lasting solutions, both governments fail their people.
The concerns about GM biotechnology are, it seems, similar to those engendered by nuclear accidents: after the immediate devastation comes the anxiety about the long term effects. The fallout associated with genetic engineering is involving us in a something which could be even more far reaching than radioactive pollution.

Rumer Willis Rocks Retro-Inspired Bikini in Hawaii
Rumer Willis showed off her toned and tanned bikini body while vacationing in Maui, Hawaii, Nov. 3. The actress wore a white, high-waisted, retro-inspired two-piece while soaking up the sun with pals.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hottest bikini bodies
The 24-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore is currently dating actor Jayson Blair, who plays Clay Clemmens on NBC's "The New Normal."
"We're homebodies," Blair, 28, told Us Weekly in mid-September, detailing their exhaustive TV-watching habits. "She was apprehensive, but I got her into 'Downton Abbey' and 'Homeland.' She watched the seasons in a day!"
Explained Willis, "I remember hearing all about 'Downton' at the Globes, and I was like, 'Oh, I don't know.' And then I stayed up until 4 a.m. watching the season!"
PHOTOS: Stars' favorite date night spots
Blair added that it's important to make time for themselves when they're not filming. (Willis recently wrapped production on the movie "Six Letter Word.")
PHOTOS: Will these couples last?
"We really like to hang out and be together, maybe cook dinner, some wine potentially, and watch TV shows or movies," he told Us. "We're having a blast getting to know each other and it's more intimate than doing all the Hollywood stuff. It's one-on-one time and it's great. It's amazing. She's amazing!"
Do Willis' actor parents approve? "I think they do," she laughed.

Workers brave the winter elements this week as construction continues at the Los Alamos Middle School.
Thanks to a new technology initiative going on at the high school, students can no longer say to the teacher, "my dog ate my homework." In fact, they can't even say they lost it due to a computer crash or a virus. A program from Google allows everyone — students, teachers and staff — to be on the same page, so to speak.
Officials from Los Alamos High School, as well as members from the district's tech staff, recently gave a presentation to the Los Alamos School Board about how students are using and adapting to the system, known as "Google Apps for Education."
The ultimate plan is to have every student in the district using Google Apps for Education.
The program is actually a suite of free, web-based programs by Google, which can all be accessed by opening up a free account on Google. Email, document and spreadsheet creation, calendar and a blogging platform are just some of the applications that have become available.
University of New Mexico-Los Alamos hosted a home-school college day Wednesday.
Wednesday was a moving day for part of the staff at Chamisa Elementary, as teachers and staff helped put their classrooms back together again after flooding damage three weeks ago sent water down through the ceiling and walls of the some parts of the school, damaging several classrooms.
The damage was caused by a "perfect storm" of snow melt followed by freezing cold. The school's main drainage pipes became blocked with ice, backing up snow melt from the roof, which caused water to enter through the ceiling.
This week, students and teachers started moving everything back into the classrooms located in the school's "primary pod," which bore the brunt of the damage.
"Most of the kids have done pretty well. For some it was a little challenging," second grade teacher Megan Lee said.
Lee shared the library with another second grade teacher until repairs were completed.
"The library was a great place to be, because then the kids could just pick up a book after they were done working," Lee said.
Chamisa Principal Debbie Smith said the school will be put back together soon.
After 42 years of helping children as well as her fellow educators rise to their full potential, Los Alamos Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Paula Dean is retiring.
"It will be very nice to have some time for other things," she said. "As I told Gene (Dr. Gene Schmidt, LAPS superintendent) it's like starting in a new life path. In my letter I also said I will be looking over my shoulder to see how the Los Alamos Schools are doing."
She said her immediate plans are to take a brief time out before looking for the next opportunity, whatever that may be.
Dean came to New Mexico in 1998 and started her career with LAPS as the director of Curriculum and Development.
She then spent a brief stint in Santa Fe as an assistant superintendent. She then became principal of Barranca Mesa Elementary for four years before becoming assistant superintendent for the past three years.
"I worked in many districts over a very long career (Dean was a teacher and principal in Illinois before coming to Los Alamos) and this is the best functioning district I was ever in," Dean said of the Los Alamos School District. "I was very happy to get back to Los Alamos."
State Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard, (D-Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Sandoval and Rio Arriba), may be new to the legislature, but she's managed to get everyone's attention with a proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to adequately fund New Mexico's schools.
The amendment would reduce the number of children per classroom in all New Mexico school districts by the 2020-21 school year, a task that may take about $800 million in new construction and new hires to accomplish, according to an impact report prepared by the Legislative Finance Committee.
Since it is an amendment to the constitution, that means that if it passes the legislature, it will become a referendum that will go before voters.
"This is why I'm interested in putting this forth as a constitutional amendment," Garcia Richard said. "It takes it to the people that should have a part in this decision-making process. It takes it to the parents; it takes it to the educators, bottom-line, to all the taxpayers. It's for them to make the decision."
If it passes that test, then the amendment will be gradually phased in, starting in the school year 2015-16.
Though 2020 may seem like a long way off, Garcia Richard said serious commitment to funding New Mexico's public schools need to start now.
'Topper Revue emcees (not in order) Orli Shlachter, Gary Cooper, Monica Poston, Cassidy Reeves, Dallin Parker and Daniel Hill, all Los Alamos High School seniors, hosted the annual talent show. Those who missed it will have to wait until next year, as the last show was at 7 p.m. Saturday. This year's show featured musical talent, dance, vocalists, skits and poetry, all performed by LAHS students.
They went to Santa Fe's capitol to do battle, but they ended up making friends instead.
A delegation of education officials, which included the Los Alamos Public Schools Superintendent Gene Schmidt, Assistant Superintendent Paula Dean, the district's Chief Financial Officer John Wolfe and School Board Member Judy Bjarke-McKenzie, took a trip to Santa Fe's Round House in order to try and kill a proposed amendment to the Public School Finance Act that would, potentially cut the Los Alamos Public School District off from a million dollars or more of annual funding meant for certain special programs and personnel.
While the amendment seeks to introduce "performance-based school budgets," "clarify classification of special education students and ancillary staff and to modify and update the at-risk factor in the funding formula," Los Alamos school officials are afraid the changes may mean an abrupt cutoff to this crucial funding, long before the district can find alternative sources to make up for the loss.
McCarthy Construction has been making steady progress in setting up the framework for the new middle school as these recently taken photos indicate.

One snowy December morning in an old European city, an American man leaves his shabby hotel to meet a local woman who has agreed to help him search for an apartment to rent. THE APARTMENT follows the couple across a blurry, illogical, and frozen city into a past the man is hoping to forget, and leaves them at the doorstep of an uncertain future-their cityscape punctuated by the man's lingering memories of time spent in Iraq and the life he abandoned in the United States. Contained within the details of this day is a complex meditation on America's relationship with the rest of the world, an unflinching glimpse at the permanence of guilt and despair, and an exploration into our desire to cure violence with violence.
A novel about how our relationships to others-and most importantly to ourselves-alters how we see the world, THE APARTMENT perfectly captures the peculiarity and excitement of being a stranger in a strange city. Written in an affecting and intimate tone that gradually expands in scope, intensity, poetry, and drama, Greg Baxter's clear-eyed first novel tells the intriguing story of these two people on this single day. Both beguiling and raw in its observations and language, THE APARTMENT is a crisp novel with enormous range that offers profound and unexpected wisdom.

Through this strange city
An unnamed narrator spends a snowy pre-Christmas Saturday in an unidentified European city. He's in the company of a young woman, a native who's helping him find an apartment so he can abandon the cheap hotel where he's been living. That's a fair summary of the action in the foreground of Greg Baxter's slim first novel—so you may guess that plot is not its strength. But if your taste runs to novels that deeply and methodically explore the workings of one character's mind amid an intensely realistic atmosphere, add The Apartment to your reading list.
Saskia, the narrator's companion, works at an economics research institute by day and "takes a lot of pills and goes to gigs and attends parties that last three days." She's someone with whom he's "fallen into a swift intimacy of pure circumstance," but there's nothing sexual about their liaison; if anything they've transcended that to connect on a deeper plane.
Although Baxter's novel is rooted in the streets of the gray, urban setting, his narrator, in his early 40s, spends almost as much time rooting through a past he says he tries not to think about as he does describing his intermittent success at acculturation. At the midpoint of his life, he's served as a submarine officer, moving on from there to service in Iraq, where he had "assigned death from a distance," only to return to Baghdad as a private contractor, engaged, he says, in a computer surveillance business that "made me a fortune." All these experiences fueled his "hatred of the kingdom of ambitious stupidity, of the loud and gruesome happenstance of American domination." The novel features effortless time shifts, including one especially moving encounter with the mother of a deceased high school friend. Sandwiched between the narrator's encounters, present and past, are discourses on subjects as diverse as Renaissance architecture, perspective in art, Bach's "Chaconne" and the history of the violin, all of which add texture to the story.
In an interview, Baxter observed that he "wanted to write . . . something profoundly simple in its conception but that could achieve a level of complexity, suspense, and purpose through details, subtlety, and suppressed intensity." He's succeeded in doing that here. As hushed as the snow that blankets the city through which its characters move, this meditative story should find an audience of thoughtful readers.

0845 Numbers
Benefits of 0845 numbers
- Compromise between cost for you and your customer.
- Adds an air of professionalism to your advertising and can increase the number of calls you receive.
- Protects you against the hassle of regional code changes.
- Supports Basic and Advanced services.
0845 numbers, also known as BT local rate numbers, are often associated with trusted and long established businesses. When a caller dials an 0845 number they only pay the BT local rate. If you have a national business and want to offer your customers local rate numbers to contact you on, then 0845 numbers are a recognizable way for you to do this. When you get an 0845 number you are compromising with your customer on the cost of the call.
With a Callagenix 0845 number you get free, unlimited inbound minutes with free access to call data and call management. What's more, if you use our Basic routing service there is no charge to divert your incoming calls onto a UK landline number (01 or 02 numbers).
How are 0845 numbers used?
0845 Numbers with Basic Service (Number Direct)
The 0845 number is programmed to "sit" on top of your UK landline number so any calls to the 0845 number are simply redirected to your own landline. Your UK landline number is not affected in any way. Although 0845 numbers can be diverted to any landline, they cannot be diverted to international numbers or mobile numbers.
0845 Numbers with Callagenix Advanced Services
Integrate your 0845 number with our Advanced, Intelligent Routing services. These may include one or more of the services below. You can mix and match them to create the optimum phone solution for you. Services include: Call Forward, Call Diversion, Group Divert, Company Information Line, Answerphone, Fax to Email and Virtual Switchboard (illustrated below).
Once you have created your preferred combination of services, you can use your online control panel to manage how calls to your 0845 number are handled. This may involve something as simple as an Answerphone service or Recorded Message, all the way up to a sophisticated phone menu, diverting calls to call centre hunt groups. It really is up to you, and we're here to help, should you need any advice.
Typical Uses / Users
- Established businesses with a national presence which want to offer a local rate to callers
- Businesses running information lines
- Anyone wanting to divert calls to an existing landline (or mobile / International number with Advanced services)
- Customer Service and Support lines
*PLEASE Note* If you are considering using an 084x, 087x or 09x number for post-sales support (such as a helpline, customer service, billings or complaints) please be aware this is now illegal in some circumstances.

On a day when Mitt Romney surrogates and vice presidential contenders were spread out all over the country, Tim Pawlenty showed two very different sides of himself as a possible running mate.
Dressed in a blue checkered shirt and jeans, he first held a small roundtable with "sports parents" at a local ice rink in Cary, before holding a much larger rally opening a campaign office in Raleigh.
At the Polar Ice Rink, he listened to voters about their concerns and pledged to take them back to the presumptive GOP nominee.
At the rally, it was a much more revved up Pawlenty, one rarely seen during his television appearances on behalf of Romney, attacking President Obama's record.
"I don't know about you, but I'm tired of hearing his teleprompter speeches and no results. His big fancy speeches from four years ago and since, those speeches, those words, they don't put gas in our cars, do they?" Pawlenty asked the crowd, to screams of, "No!"
He continued the back and forth: "And his teleprompter speeches don't pay the mortgage, do they? And President Obama's teleprompter speeches don't pay our health insurance premiums, do they? And they don't get our loved ones, our friends and our neighbors, a job in the country, do they? We've got a problem, because we've got a president who's all foam and no beer."
At the ice rink he was much more subdued, listening to the parents as a next door neighbor would, not the fiery politician usually required of a running mate, but at both events he spoke about his past struggles.
"I grew up in a meat packing town," Pawlenty told the parents, but again repeated it during the rally. "My mom died when I was in 10th grade and my dad lost his job soon after."
He added that he understood what it's like when a family is focused on, "Am I going to have a job?"
They were brief mentions, but it's a family life that stands in stark contrast to Romney's wealthy background.
During the roundtable, one of the parents, Christine Godeaux told Pawlenty she needed to hear more from Romney. In an almost pleading tone she told him because "he's not Obama" is good enough for her, but not enough to make others vote for the former Massachusetts governor, especially those "afraid of change."
"I want to know specifically what his plan is," Godeaux said, adding she wanted to know what Romney was going to do on day one.
ABC News asked Godeaux after if she had seen Romney's series of "On Day One" ads and she said she had, but it wasn't enough detail for her.
Pawlenty described his tax plan briefly, but said he didn't want the crowd's "eyes to glaze over" before the hockey fan took to the ice for a quick spin. He spent much of his time in the rink coaching some children on ways to stop and giving tips.
ABC News asked Pawlenty afterwards if he agreed with Godeaux that Romney needed to give more.
"His message is a strong message and his story is a good story," Pawlenty said. "There are certainly voters who want a lot more detail and there's different ways they can get it. Got to strike that balance when you are only given 30 seconds to respond in media interviews or a brief time to speak on TV shows, but for those who are interested in more detail there are ways to do that and I think the campaign is, particularly when they get into debates, will have an opportunity to get into even more."
Democrats have consistently accused Romney of not giving enough details about any of his policies throughout the campaign.

Free VS Premium wordpress themes
WordPress is a wonderful blogging platform used by wide range of audiences around the world. The very first thing one can see in WordPress blog is the theme. I opine that the theme plays an important role in success of any blog. People will not return to your blog if it looks ugly and unresponsive. In the other words beauty of a blog can relate to colors used, the order in which items placed, navigation, items on header and cleanliness. Newbies are often doubtful about the info about Free VS Premium wordpress themes. This article discusses about self hosting wordpress themes. So let's get started.
Free vs Premium wordpress themes
Generally, wordpress themes are categorized into 2 categories: free and premium. You may come across several websites which offer both free and premium themes. The very first question flashed in my mind is that why should one offer the free theme. Designer can benefit in two ways i.e. backlink and source of design. You can find hyperlink of the designer or service site at the bottom of the footer. In some peculiar cases you can locate ads on the header or sidebar. Theme designer urges users not to remove the hyperlink. Everyone accepts that it is a courtesy given for the designer. Where as in the case of premium themes you don't find any credits.
WordPress suggests simple,clean and responsive theme to its users. But one should accept the fact that we can't do much with free themes. The appearance and functionality are very simple when compared to premium themes.
Image credit : WordPress
Disadvantages of free themes
1. In most of the cases you don't get technical support.
2. In some cases the designers follow black hat SEO techniques like hiding keywords. Sometimes the links are spammy and it makes hell for newbies when he/she tries to remove the hyperlink in the footer. The site may suddenly stop functioning. The problem could probably be fixed but it is a waste of time for bloggers.
3. The themes are less attractive than premium ones.
Image credit : Copyblogger
Why should one choose Premium theme over free WordPress theme
1. Premium wordpress themes are compatible with any browser.
2. Premium themes comes with customizable features where a user can change the appearance easily. Even some free themes offers customizable features but users can't utilize them to the fullest.
3. Designer or designing company offers 100% support to the premium users. They will fix any issue at earliest which in turn saves user time.
4. Some companies offer users to select multiple elegant theme designs. You need to check it personally.
5. The theme would be absolutely free from ads, credit links and spammy keywords.
In the last it is the content which matters the most. Even Search giant Google loves simple themes. One should not bother much about theme if the blog content is great and informative. I don't stress you to ignore the appearance completely. Make sure that your theme looks simple, responsive and easily navigable.
Final conclusion: Free themes suits well for personal and company blogs. If you are big or want to establish your identity (brand) in the internet world then go for Premium theme.
I hope newbies find this article Free VS Premium wordpress themes helpful.
Try StudioPress Themes for WordPress for best optimization.

Great post, I used to use free themes when I first got started online. Especially since some premium themes are so expensive. I now use Woo themes and I love them. I have used other themes like Elegant themes. Are there any premium themes that you just highly recommend?
Hi Susan,
Thanks for stopping by my post. I'm glad you like it. Themeforest is a great alternative to Woo themes and Elegant themes. But, I strongly recommend Studiopress as all the themes are stunning responsive and search optimized. The technical support is really good. I wish you great success.
Free things are not always the best. Sometimes it may cost you a little to get a premium theme but see it like an investment and not just spending.
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for the comment. I completely agree with you. One must see it is an investment.

Adam Hills and Comedy Gives Back Support Hope & Cope Today as Part of Just For Laughs Festival 2014
The positive power of laughter will be on display today, July 24, 2014 at 2:30 p.m. at the JGH Hope & Cope Wellness Centre thanks to the combined efforts of Australian superstar Adam Hills and Comedy Gives Back, in association with Just for Laughs.
In town for the Just for Laughs Festival, Hills and a few of his comedy buddies including Judy Gold, Alonzo Bodden, and The Boy with Tape on His Face will perform free of charge for cancer patients who, through their participation in the special programs at the Hope & Cope Wellness Centre, are learning not just to cope with the challenges of cancer, but also to live well in the face of illness.
Hills is no stranger to Hope & Cope, having performed at the Wellness Centre twice before. In 2011 after a chance encounter with a Hope & Cope staff member at the Just For Laughs Festival, Hills graciously offered to entertain patients and their families. In 2102, Hills summed up this meaningful experience by noting that "it was the most fun we've had the whole festival."
This year's show is being produced by Comedy Gives Back (CGB), the social benefit company that leverages comedy and technology to raise funds and awareness for various charities and causes. CGB creates groundbreaking initiatives that help transform the world through the power of laughter. The content created and distributed drives awareness and donations to our charity partners. CGB delivers the best A-List comedy talent, social media engagement and monetizing the content, creating new revenue streams that some charities don't have the bandwidth or manpower to exploit.
"We are grateful to Adam, to the other comics, to Jodi Lieberman of Comedy Gives Back and to Just for Laughs for giving our patients the rare and wonderful opportunity to forget about their cancer for a while and to experience the feel-good benefits of laughter," says Hope & Cope Executive Director Suzanne O'Brien.
Comedy Gives Back co-founder, and former program director at Just For Laughs, Jodi Lieberman commented: "I am thrilled to bring our award-winning organization to Montreal for the first time. We created Comedy Gives Back to help the world heal through laughter and I have come full circle with this upcoming event. We are bringing amazing comics to Hope & Cope. Our goal is to help elevate the spirits of cancer patients and raise awareness for this wonderful organization in my hometown."
About Hope & Cope: Hope & Cope is a volunteer-based, professionally managed organization that provides support to cancer patients and their families from two locations - its home base at the Jewish General Hospital's Segal Cancer Centre and at the JGH Hope & Cope Wellness Centre / Lou's House, which focuses on cancer wellness and recovery. Hope & Cope's comprehensive and innovative programs offer support, information, practical resources and guidance to patients at all points along the cancer journey.
About the JGH: Since 1934, the Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital, a McGill University teaching hospital, has provided "Care for All," serving patients from diverse religious, linguistic and cultural backgrounds in Montreal, throughout Quebec and beyond. As one of the province's largest acute-care hospitals, the JGH has achieved a reputation for excellence in key medical specialties by continually expanding and upgrading its facilities for clinical treatment and teaching, as well as research at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research.
