Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] why does --rankfile need hostlist?
From: Ralph Castain (rhc_at_[hidden])
Date: 2009-06-21 18:23:19
Had a chance to think about how this might be done, and looked at it
for awhile after getting home. I -think- I found a way to do it, but
there are a couple of caveats:
1. Len's point about oversubscribing without warning would definitely
hold true - this would positively be a "user beware" option
2. there could be no RM-provided allocation, hostfile, or -host
options specified. Basically, I would be adding the "read rankfile"
option to the end of the current allocation determination procedure
I would still allow more procs than shown in the rankfile (mapping the
rest bynode on the nodes specified in the rankfile - can't do byslot
because I don't know how many slots are on each node), which means the
only change in behavior would be the forced bynode mapping of
unspecified procs.
So use of this option will entail some risks and a slight difference
in behavior, but would relieve you from the burden of having to
provide a hostfile. I'm not personally convinced it is worth the risk
and probable user complaints of "it didn't work", but since we don't
use this option, I don't have a strong opinion on the matter.
Let's just avoid going back-and-forth over wanting it, or how it
should be implemented - let's get it all ironed out, and then
implement it once, like we finally did at the end with the whole
hostfile thing.
Let me know if you want me to do this - it obviously isn't at the top
of my priority list, but still could be done in the next few weeks.

I'm trying to understand why the Laplacian operator is used in blob detection in image analysis. I must admit that in trying to figure out why the Laplacian is useful in this application, I've really confused myself with the different uses of the word 'Laplace.' For instance, Wikipedia has many articles on this, and the ones I'm having trouble unifying conceptually are the Laplace Transform and the Laplace Operator.
From co-workers and some reading on the internet, I have come to very shallowly think of my Laplacian convolutions on images as performing something similar to the second derivative, where the most quickly changing areas on the image are what become highlighted in the new, convolved image. From the page on the Laplace Operator this makes a lot of sense. This doesn't make sense to me from the page on the Laplace Transform. My question then, I think, is how are the Laplace Operator and the Laplace Transform related? If I can see, from the definition, that the Laplace Operator is basically doing the second derivative, I would think I should be able to see something similar from the Laplace Transform. But I don't. Am I mistaken in thinking that the Laplace Transform and the Laplace operator are the same thing? How are they related?

WHEELING - Republican John Raese, candidate for U.S. Senate in West Virginia, believes it is time for a "capitalist revolution" in West Virginia, and the time for a new generation of industrialists to put the Ohio Valley's natural resources to use.
Raese was the featured speaker Wednesday at the "Penny for Your Thoughts" political forum hosted by the Ohio County Republican Party at the party headquarters in the Centre Market area.
"I would like to see the entire state of West Virginia have a West Virginia revolution about what we do best," he said. "Wouldn't that be nice? I would call it a capitalist revolution. How could we do it? The first thing we do is look at what we have."
West Virginia has more natural resources than just two other states - Texas and Louisiana, according to Raese.
The state also has ample river transportation opportunities, making for cheaper costs getting a product to market, he said.
"Can we have steel again in the valley? Oh, yeah," he said. The jobs "aren't coming back if you let government control us. Weak people breed weak nations. And if we're going to be weak in this country, we're going to have that problem. I choose not to be weak."
Raese faces Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin and Mountain Party candidate Bob Henry Baber in the Nov. 6 general election.
"The other two candidates - I won't mention them, but I call them socialists - when they talk about solutions, 100 percent of the time their solution was government-based," Raese said. It wasn't "about personal responsibilities - which I believe in - but it was a government-based solution for all the problems we have. Is that sort of what has been going on this country for the past 25 years?
"That's not a Democrat or Republican issue. It's an American issue. Where have we gone Joe DiMaggio?"
He noted the abundance of coal and natural resources in the Ohio Valley, and called them "the elements to build America."
"If you start at Weirton go all the way through Follansbee and Wheeling ... what's happened here?" Raese said. "I go through downtown Wheeling and it look like a bomb went off. Why? We've had all these wonderful career politicians - Arch Moore ... Jay Rockefeller ... the Manchin family ... the Mollohans. Career politicians? There might be an issue here. I think there is."
The area still has the natural resources it needs to survive, Raese said.
"Those are the resources we need to make the right kind of comeback," he said. "We don't need government. What we need are industrialists."
Past industrialists came to the Ohio Valley because they knew they could make money here, Raese said.
"Make a 'profit' - is that a dirty word today to our president?" he said. "I hear him all the time. He says it's a dirty word. I don't think it's dirty word. I think it's the greatest word in the world.
"When you generate a profit from a company, what do you do? The first thing I do is turn it back into the company - I reinvest. What happens when you reinvest? You get real good real quick."
And jobs are created by profitable companies, not the government, Raese noted.
The "Penny For Your Thoughts" forum scheduled for next week with Rep. David B. McKinley, R-Wheeling, has been canceled due to a scheduling conflict, Ohio County GOP Chairman Elgine McArdle announced Wednesday.

Does anyone know of a good place to find already-done bibtex entries for standard books in advanced math? Or is this impossible because the citation should include items specific to your copy? (I am seeing the latter as potentially problematic because the only date I can find in my copy of Hartshorne is 2006, whereas the citations I can find all put the publication date at 1977.)
I recommend using the AMS website MREF, located here.
EDIT : Another remark about your question. Don't worry too much about getting things like the printing date for a book correct (it changes every time they make a new printing run). Just make sure that you have the author, title, and edition in some standard format (and for papers, the journal, date, and page number). Every journal will reformat things into their house style and verify that your bibliographic entries are correct. Make those copy-editors work for their money!
About 10 years ago I wrote a perl script called "bibweb" which uses MathSciNet to produce bibtex entries for references. If you have access to MathSciNet and you run
then one of its answers is
It's not perfect, but it works for me. Download it at https://github.com/jhpalmieri/bibweb. It's free, so satisfaction guaranteed or double your money back.
Google Scholar will produce BibTeX entries if you turn on Show links to import to BibTeX in Scholar search preferences.
MR Lookup is also a good tool and seems to be free.
The best thing about using MathSciNet for bibtex entries is that it is standard and universally accepted. No need to reinvent a bicycle.
The Courant Centre has a useful webpage which produces nice BibTeX entries for arXiv preprints, if you input a paper ID or an author ID.
Random fact: The K-theory archive has a loooong BibTeX file on the K-theory literature available for download.
Zotero is a nice plug-in for firefox that produces a database of your favorite publications. Every time you are on a website like arxiv, math-sci net or the homepage of some journal, it offers you to save the publication into your database. It gathers all the relevant information automatically from the page, and it does that amazingly well. Once you've got all your publications in your database, just hit the export to bibtex button and you're done.
Another way is to use google with option "filetype:bib". Something like this.
If you use a mac, BibDesk is fantastic: among other really nice features, it lets you find your book/article/etc on your choice of free sites (ACM, arXiv, CiteULike, Google Scholar, HubMed, SPIRES) or subscription sites (IEEE Xplore, MathSciNet, Project Euclid, Zentralblatt Math) and then once you've found the item, it takes one click to import the citation into the database. The database can also store electronic copies of articles (if available) referenced to the citation.
So for example, I would open BibDesk, click on the icon that says Web, click on "MathSciNet". Within the program I see the MathSciNet page (assuming I'm at work where I have access). Type in the search terms Hartshorne and Geometry, and up comes 8 citations I could import. One of them is Algebraic Geometry from 1977, so I would click on the button that says "import". BibDesk does all the other work.
While writing a paper, just drag and drop the citations onto your LaTeX document to embed \cite{blah} with the appropriate cite key (at least if you're using TeXShop).
When you're ready to stick a bibliography into your paper, select the relevant articles in the BibDesk database and export them into a BibTeX file. It's super easy.
I prefer the Zentralblatt database because it provides bibtex entries with DOIs.
There's also Lead2Amazon which can export in a variety of formats.
Try http://www.ottobib.com/. It is a ISBN to Bibtex (or other formats) converter.
I wrote a script using AutoHotKey that allows me to highlight the title of a reference (e.g., in a PDF article). It then looks up Google Scholar based on that title using Google Scholar's "allintitle:" key word. I have Google Scholar set to export BibTeX. I can then easily drag and drop the BibTeX into JabRef. I posted the details on my blog: http://jeromyanglim.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-get-quick-access-to-full-text.html
Hi, i have had problems with this earlier, and i agree vidh Olivier, that Zentralblatt's database is pretty good, i've even created a simple program wich loads them easily to JabRef or any BibTex files. It works properly, try it out if you are interested. You can find it at https://sites.google.com/site/jabrefzentralblatt. No install or anything needed. Regards, A.
I also use JabRef. In addition, there is an easy to use JabRef plugin for the Union Catalogue (GVK) of several German federal states participating in the so-called Common Library Network (GBV).
For JabRef see http://jabref.sourceforge.net/.
For downloading the JabRef-GBV-plugin see http://jabref.tempelb.de/.
Since it's not been mentioned, I'll chime in with Mendeley, which provides BibTeX citations for papers on the site (minus the linebreaks, unfortunately). They also have a freeware reference manager.
Check out http://www.bibtexsearch.com - it has several million bibtex records.
Google books also gives bibtex references and at least once I found a reference there for a math book not on Mathscinet for some reason. To get the bibtex you go to the bottom of the "about this book" page and click on "Export citation: Bibtex" (you can also get Endnote and Refman references... whatever those are).

Here's a look back at some of the highlights of 2012 at the University of Colorado Boulder, including important accomplishments in research, athletics, the arts and student service, among other top stories:
Another Nobel
CU-Boulder lecturer David J. Wineland, also a researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, won the Nobel Prize for physics this year. Wineland – whose groundbreaking research includes using lasers to trap ions – is the fifth CU faculty member to be awarded a Nobel Prize.

CU researchers found, in two cases, that what Americans think about political systems may not align with reality. First, researchers in the psychology and neuroscience department found that Americans overestimate political polarization while a professor in the political science department found that Congress works better than many Americans think.

Two rare solar events drew thousands of people to the CU-Boulder campus this year. On May 20, an estimated 10,000 sky-gazers showed up at Folsom Field to watch the partial solar eclipse, when the moon crossed between the sun and the Earth, apparently taking a "bite" out of the sun. Hundreds more visited the Fiske Planetarium and the Sommers-Bausch Observatory on June 5 to watch as Venus made its trek across the face of the sun, an event that won't be seen again for a century.

Researchers from institutes and departments across CU highlighted our warming world with research related to melting. Scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center observed a record-setting low for sea ice extent in the Arctic, faculty at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences found that the Greenland Ice Sheet may be sliding into the ocean more quickly than before thanks to massive releases of meltwater from surface lakes, and a team led by the physics department found that glaciers and ice caps outside of Greenland and Antarctica are shedding 150 billion tons of ice annually. CIRES scientists also found that Alaska's iconic Columbia Glacier may actually stop retreating in 2020, reaching a new equilibrium.

Atmospheric scientists at CU-Boulder discovered that the Earth's vegetation and oceans continue to soak up about half of the carbon dioxide being emitted in the world, even as those emissions go up. Other CU-Boulder researchers developed a new monitoring system that can tease out which carbon emissions are connected to the burning of fossil fuels and which are related to biological processes.

Aunque supongo que sera lo de siempre, no creo que estos resultados sean únicamente por el CLA, yo creo que es una unión de dieta, ejercicio y cremas. si se toma solo creo que es inútil ver resultados, no es milagroso. De todos los CLA, esta marca es la que mas cantidad ofrece por ese precio. Ah! las pastillas son enormes y no se pueden partir.
No veo ningún cambio de momento

He tomado estas cápsulas de CLA por un mes. Es poco para hacer una valoración tan estricta. A mi no me ha sido útil, aunque debo decir que soy una persona delgada y que sólo quería bajar un par de kilos. Hago ejercicio entre 4 y 5 veces a la semana, sesiones de una o dos horas. Como bastante sano, excepto los fines de semana. Quizás para una persona que tenga sobrepeso le puede ayudar, para mis intenciones de esculpir un poco quitando grasas que no puedo quitar con el gym creo que no es suficiente. Aunque insisto que sólo he tomado un mes la caja. A otras personas les ha funcionado en tres semanas, pues al menos en mi cuerpo no veo cambios.

After taking 2 capsules daily for 3 days, I developed quite serious GI problem. Even I stopped consume this product, my diarrhea still kept continuous for more than a week. I hope I can give zero mark here. Never use it anymore!

I have been using cla far a couple of months and I started seeing results. Some stubborn pounds that I just couldn't get rid of are finally melting away. Will continue buying this product.
I still have no idea
Posted by Reviewer2827171 on Mar 18, 2009
I've been taking this for the better part of a year and I still can't tell you if it's working or not, I'm not terribly overweight (maybe ten pounds or so) but I don't have terribly good muscle tone (a situation I've been remedying for the last few months), so I figured anything that might metabolize fat would be a good idea, but I keep taking it and maybe when I finally get where I want to be I'll be able to tell if it's working or not

Read a review about Tonalin CLA. So far it is totally ineffective. Perhaps it has not been long enough to have any effect... Just a month or less. SIGH....

Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon
In memory of Aaron Swartz, and in coordination with a world-wide effort, Noisebridge will be hosting a hackathon starting Friday, January 25th, and continuing through Sunday, January 27th.
Aaron was a hacktivist and friend of many in our community. He helped create RSS 1.0; contributed to Creative Commons; was an early builder of Reddit, where he's often acknowledged as a co-founder; created the web.py framework; and more recently, became a data liberator, first with PACER and then with scholarly articles from JSTOR, both of which got him into trouble with the law.
Aaron's Demand Progress project helped stop SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act in the US, which threatened to have far reaching unintended consequences.
Aaron Swartz committed suicide on Jan. 11, 2013, but his work on making the world a better place should not die with him. Join us for two days of understanding his work and contributing to keep his memory and projects alive.
(This section adapted with permission from the Bangalore hackathon.)
Event Details
When: Roughly Jan. 25-27, exact times TBD
What: Come learn new skills and work together on projects that Aaron would have liked. Themes include open information access, sharing and preserving human knowledge, hacking for social/political justice, and techno-activism.
Remote collab: mailing list
The event is free, but we'll have donation boxes for purchasing food and project supplies. BYO-snacks-and-energy-drinks.
There are a bunch of project ideas here. Most of them need someone to volunteer to be the point of contact.
TBD. If you want to give a talk or a workshop, add your info to the workshop/talks list.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm unable to find a clear set of instructions.
I'm currently using LogMeIn Hamachi to enable Windows 8's Remote Desktop feature on my home computer (running Win8 Pro x64). Unfortunatley, I can't use this method to access my home computer from my Surface Tablet, as I can't install in the Hamachi client.
So how can I set up Remote Desktop without using LogMeIn Hamachi? A link to a noob-friendly tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find anything that I understand (and I am pretty technical, router stuff just stumps me for some reason).
EDIT: And I don't want to use a third party service like TeamViewer, in my experience those tools are laggy and quite horrible. The Remote Desktop feature has been excellent.

Map of California Cable Car
Ride on a historic cable car over San Francisco's famous hills and past many must-see attractions

Riding the famous San Francisco cable cars should be at the top of the list for any visitor to San Francisco. These historic cars have been around since the year after inventor Andrew Smith Hallidie tested the first line in 1873 (he gained inspiration after witnessing a cart sliding backward down a slippery hill, dragging five horses with it). Today, tourists can ride the rail through many interesting San Francisco districts, including Union Square, North Beach, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Lombard Street and Fisherman's Wharf.
You can hop on and off the car as much as you like, but be aware that the next car that comes by may already be full.
This line runs through the Financial District, Chinatown, over Nob Hill and ends at Van Ness.
Tickets cost $6 each way for adults and children 5-17. You also can purchase passes for multiple days: $14 for one day, $20 for three and $26 for seven days.
You can board from either end of the line as well as on every stop along the route (when there is room available). If boarding in the middle of a route, wait on the sidewalk and wave to the gripmap (driver) so that he knows to stop. Wait for the car to completely stop. Remember that there are poles for you to hold onto, leaning outside of the car, but be careful and watch for objects outside as you zip down the hills.
The Financial District
The Financial District of San Francisco can be one of the busiest places during the week, but it becomes oddly quite on weekends. You will know you are in the Financial District by the skyscrapers that seem to surround you. The old Financial District went only as far as Battery Street, where the coast used to be, but it has since been filled in to make more room for construction.
Today it is home to many corporate headquarters, including Visa, Wells Fargo, Charles Schwab and Barclays among others. To see the "Wall Street of the West" head over to nearby Montgomery Street where the Federal Reserve building is.
Old St. Mary's Cathedral
Old St. Mary's Cathedral appears somewhat suddenly and slightly out of place at the corner of Grant and California streets. Originally built in 1854 and rumored to be the first cathedral in California, the church amazingly survived the 1906 earthquake and fires that followed. Today it sits beween modern high-rises and detailed Chinese architecture. The church is open to visitors and has a rich history and gift shop in the basement.
Nestled in prime real estate between retail-happy Union Square, the bustle of the Financial District and the beatnik funkiness of North Beach, Chinatown beckons to tourists and locals with its irresistible green-tiled gate at the intersection of Grant and Bush streets.
Once inside the gate, the entrance and first block are really peaceful. Deeper into Chinatown, visitors will find anything but peace on the bustling and energizing streets, where the produce, meat and fish markets seemed to buzz all day long.
Chintown offers a bounty of shops, including restaurants, Chinese grocery stores and delis, bakeries, tea and herbal shops, clothing stores, galleries, souvenir haunts and more.
Chinatown Guide on EveryTrail
Grace Cathedral
Grace Cathedral is a landmark in downtown San Francisco, home to one of only seven Episcopal men and boys cathedral choirs. The original chapel was built in 1849, but was destroyed in the fire after the 1906 earthquake. The interior is ornate and neighboring Huntington Park is a great place to sit during a nice day in San Francisco.
If you get off the cable car here, be sure to check out the famous Ghiberti doors (the Gates of Paradise). It is believed that they were removed from a Renaissance church in Florence, Italy.

Senior Event Coordinator for Prime Time Events, Chad Delpont, says: "Prime Time Events is a non-profit organization. We've been funded by the city and the county for the last seven years."
So what does Prime Time Events do? They put on events like the Chocolate Festival for Hospice. They also work on the Junior Achievement Corvette Classic, Scotty's Sand In the City, The U.S Bank Balloons Tunes and BBQ, The Medical Center 10K Classic and Houchens Winter Lights.
Delpont says: "Prime Time Events fills that void where nonprofits have a lot of short staff sometimes. There's not a lot of money in non-profits and Prime Time Events really steps up and takes that burden away from them."
Prime Time Events was created because special events in Bowling Green were in danger of not happening. Now they may be in risk again.
Delpont says: "At this time, without funding from the city, Prime Time Events will have to close its doors."
City Commissioners voted Saturday to cut funding for Prime Time Events for the 2005-2006 fiscal year. Delpont is currently the only employee at Prime Time Events and says the funding they receive from the city helps pay for his salary, rent for the building and insurance.
Prime Time Events does charge their organizations a nominal fee for the events they plan.
Delpont says: "However that isn't enough to sustain a budget so without the funding from the city we will certainly have to close the doors."

"Bill W." tells the story of Bill Wilson and the organization he co-founded, Alcoholics Anonymous. What is most remarkable about AA is that for many alcoholics, it works; its current U.S. membership is estimated at 2 million. It has no leadership, it charges no money, it's just rooms of former drunks, and a great many people find it helps them stay sober for (as the program says) one day at a time.
Alcohol is an addiction. Most people can drink moderately. Some cannot. They don't choose to get drunk, but they learn again and again (to quote) that they are powerless over alcohol. To help them, AA uses not drugs, not psychiatry, not expert theories, but group meetings. There is a crucial moment in this film when Bill W., stranded in Akron, Ohio, after a business deal falls through, paces a hotel lobby with his eyes drawn to the cocktail lounge, and in desperation hears himself saying on the phone, "I need to talk to another drunk."
That leads to his historic first meeting with Dr. Bob Smith, an Akron surgeon whose drinking was endangering his career and the lives of his patients. They began with some of the principles of the Oxford Group, a non-denominational Christian fellowship popular in the 1920s, and found they could stay sober by meeting with other alcoholics for mutual help. From their early experiences they distilled the "Twelve Steps," which have since been borrowed by countless recovery programs.
This documentary is an assembly of styles. It incorporates such film footage of Bill as is available, and then uses actors to re-enact chapters in his story. The actors never speak; the voices heard are from tape recordings made by Bill W.; Dr. Bob; Bill's long-suffering wife, Lois, and others. The period re-creations are detailed and convincing. We also see some current AA members, their faces in shadow, some of whom knew Bill before his death in 1971.
Bill was not a saint, and the film doesn't hesitate to deal with his flaws. He cheated once on Lois, for example. He also notoriously experimented with LSD in the earliest days of that drug's history, when it was legal and was thought to be a possible cure for addiction. He stopped, realizing a cure had to come from within.
Judging by this film, neither Bill nor Bob seems to have been particularly religious. The second step of their program calls for alcoholics to call on "a Higher Power as we understand him," but the power is never identified, and the idea seems to have been realizing the power was not their own willpower. Some complain that AA requires members to believe in God, but it doesn't, and that objection is sometimes joked about as "choosing to stay drunk for theological reasons."
Bill was a tall drink of water, a craggy man from Vermont who had a knack for business but kept drinking himself out of success. Ironically, he was to found an organization that was once studied by the Harvard Business School as a model of nonprofit, self-perpetuating functionality. He probably could have made a lot of money by commercializing AA (the movie shows John D. Rockefeller as one of his early backers), but he never did. When members got together, that was a meeting. No dues or fees. The program was carried by oral tradition.
A key part of AA was anonymity: "Who you see here, what you say here, let it stay here." Bill Wilson himself was not anonymous — that horse was already out of the barn — and his fame was such that Time magazine named him as one of the 100 most influential men of the century. Told he should be on a postage stamp, he said: "They'd have to show the back of my head."
"It's a madhouse!"

Can the Tide Keep Rolling?
College football isn't supposed to lend itself to dynasties any more. Like the pros, with its salary caps, and player drafts throwing the best young prospects to the worst teams, college football discourages one-team domination.
The players move on after four years or less. Top teams win, then often go on probation for how they got there. Administrators gnash their teeth about academic standards. A chorus of critics calls for reforming a system seen as exploiting student-athletes, casting off many with battered bodies, little education and no future career.

So how to explain the Alabama Crimson Tide? Head coach Nick Saban's team, the defending national champion, appears to inhabit a parallel universe. The team is favored to roll over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Monday night's championship game. That would give Alabama its third national title in four years, an unprecedented accomplishment in the current era of college football.
On the surface it's an odds-defying prospect, but Saban's arrival in 2007 after two years in the NFL sparked a perfect marriage between coach and team. Saban functions not as a backslapping golf buddy of university boosters, but as a CEO. And his school provides him the perfect conditions for winning.
"It's a machine," said Shannon Terry, an Alabama native who founded the college-sports websites Rivals.com and the 247sports.com. "These things can be cyclical, but it's Alabama's time right now and who knows how long it can last."
Today, nearly every other major power in college football operates under a microscope. Ohio State and USC have each spent time on probation in recent years. Penn State is reeling from the sexual abuse scandal. Other universities struggle to compete with professional teams that share their markets.
Then there's Alabama, a football paradise. The Crimson Tide are the pre-eminent institution in a state with no major professional sports team and just a single Fortune 500 company. They play in a conference that has evolved into the closest thing to an NFL division in college. In Alabama, there is little grumbling about Saban's highest-in-the-nation pay package—a contract that will pay him some $5.6 million this year and some $45 million through 2019.
Saban, who declined to be interviewed for this story, landed in Miami with his team Wednesday with his usual businesslike approach.
Alabama: Something to Brag About

Keys to Victory
"Michael Jordan always said it doesn't matter how many game-winning shots I've made in the past, all that matters is the next one," Saban told reporters at the airport. "And that's really what matters to our guys."
Nearly all football coaches are tireless workers and control freaks, but Saban ups the ante. He has been known to keep a motivational expert on the sidelines to help him with his pregame and halftime speeches. He drives assistant communications directors as hard as his assistant coaches. In an era when more head coaches are switching to pass-dominated offenses that mimic NFL teams and make the quarterback the game manager, Alabama is still built around a conservative running game that grinds out yards.
His power also derives from the backing of the most important people in the state and the university, many of whom have a personal connection to the team. The president pro tempore of the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama System is Paul W. Bryant Jr., son of the legendary former coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. Gov. Robert Bentley has two degrees from the school and is a rabid fan. A dermatologist who for years treated the team's coaches, Bentley said the football team helps make Alabama a "nationwide school" where students can also get a good education.
"So many positive things in this state are because of Alabama football," Bentley said.
Judy Bonner took over as president of the university in November after serving as provost, the school's chief academic officer, since 2003.
She noted that the recent gridiron success has coincided with more than 26,400 high-school students applying for a seat in the 2012-13 freshman class, up 19% over 2011. "And the quality of our students, based on ACT scores and high-school GPAs, has never been higher."
Saban's compensation is justified, Bonner said, because the university athletic department pays for itself. According to studies, each Crimson Tide home game pumps $24.3 million into the state's economy. For the 2011 season, the university reported $82 million in total football revenue, with a $45.1 million profit. In 2006, a year before Saban's arrival in Tuscaloosa, the program generated $53.2 million, with $31.9 million in profit. (The University of Texas has the country's richest operation with more than $100 million in annual revenues.) Alabama has invested some $200 million in its sports facilities.
Last year Alabama athletics, which essentially means the football program, turned over more than $5 million to the rest of the university, including $1 million for faculty support, $3.2 million for academic scholarships, and $825,000 in other academic support.
The school's athletics infrastructure is unrecognizable from what it looked like in the 1990s, said Ben Sutton, chief executive of sports conglomerate IMG's college division, which represents Alabama sports. "They were 20, 25 years behind their peer set," he said. "They were living on fumes and selling on the smoke and mirrors of what had been there." The stadium had rundown locker rooms, aging training rooms and free-weight equipment dating from the 1970s.
Saban's first trip to the national championship game with Alabama in 2009 generated an extra $2 million in royalties from the sales of licensed merchandise, Sutton said.
There is no more likely place for this sort of dynasty to spring from than the Southeastern Conference, which has remained rock-solid and dominating, while other conferences morph into confusion pursuing TV money.
The SEC collects more than $200 million a year in television rights fees, and is now in talks to launch a national sports cable network featuring its games in the style of the successful Big Ten Network. The Crimson Tide would give the network a national following: Only Texas sold more licensed merchandise than Alabama last year.
But Alabama separates itself from the rest of the football-crazed SEC because it doesn't have to compete with a major professional sports team, has a head coach with the NFL chops that the best high school players are looking for now, and is steeped in a rich tradition of winning that makes future championships seem inevitable—even in a relatively small and poor state.
It's all about the players, of course, but college football coaches deal their own hand. Tom Lemming, an analyst with the CBS Sports Network and widely recognized as the country's leading expert on college football recruiting, said in his 34 years of covering the process he has never seen a more relentless or effective recruiter as Saban.
"The great ones, recruiting is their hobby," Lemming said. "We all know college football coaches love to play golf, but you show me a good golfer and I'll show you a bad recruiter."
Unlike Texas or Florida or USC, which can home-grow much of their rosters, Alabama must go out of state for as many as 70% of its recruits (Texas takes 10% from elsewhere). Last fall Lemming was watching game film with Leonard Fournette, a junior running back at St. Augustine High School in New Orleans who will likely be the country's top recruit in 2014. In other words, Fournette wouldn't appear in an Alabama uniform for another two years. Yet in the middle of the film Fournette's coach reminded him he had a 4 p.m. phone call scheduled with Saban.
Cooper Bateman of Salt Lake City, considered a top high school quarterback this year, committed to Alabama last May.
So far this year Saban has 21 commitments from high school seniors. Six are from Alabama, and two have received five stars, the highest ranking, from the country's leading evaluators. (Each year there are about two dozen five-star players in the country).
Saban doesn't just pick teen phenoms. Few colleges took notice of offensive guard Chance Warmack in 2008, when he was a senior at Westlake High School in Atlanta. Warmack was a three-star player struggling to drum up major-college interest. Yet he has started every game the past three years for Alabama and is now considered a likely NFL first-round pick. Time and again, Saban has gone into the country's leading football hotbeds to pluck their best players.
Last January, Anthony Averett, a three-star defensive back from Woodbury, N.J., was beginning to field offers from Rutgers, the University of Pittsburgh and a few other schools in the football-challenged Northeast. Then Alabama reached out to him. No one was more surprised than Averett, who has always wanted to play in the Southeastern Conference because it is the main talent pipeline for the NFL. Averett committed to Alabama and Saban on April 14.
"He really focuses on developing the defensive backs and developing them for the NFL," Averett said of Saban.
Indeed, Saban's status as the top supplier of NFL talent is a major attraction. He isn't shy about touting his experience working as a defensive coordinator for New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, when Belichick was coaching the Cleveland Browns, or his two years coaching the Miami Dolphins.
Though his Dolphins never made the playoffs, players know his stamp of approval carries weight with NFL evaluators,. Playing well and working hard for him is currently the surest route to making a living at football. NFL teams selected four players from Alabama in the first round of the 2012 draft, more than from any other school. They chose another in the second round, and eight overall, also the most in the country. In 2011, Alabama also had four first-round picks, including two of the top six.

Typing in the link to the drive in the location field does not work either.

Is it wrong to use BOC items for stocking stuffers?
I have been hoarding the assorted carp I've received in BOCs and from grab bag deals offered by other sites. Between these items, the "pay 99 cents more and get a random goodie" deals, and the things I've ordered that just weren't what I wanted, I have several boxes of hoarded carp. I am doing some pre-Christmas cleaning out (we have no room for a tree if I don't!) and started putting things aside for the next Wootizen BOC exchange, and I've suddenly realized that nieces and nephews might appreciate an extra pair of earbuds, DD's boyfriend might be glad to get a knife sharpener, and nearly everyone could find a use for a ShamWow.
I should explain that DH's family traditionally fills Christmas stockings with useful items rather than the fruit and candy my (overweight) family always included. My family soon adopted that tradition. Including these things in stockings won't seem TOO wierd, and I can put together small stockings for everyone!
Is this frugal, or just cheap? Ho! Ho! Ho!

Am I on your list? I want some carp!
Frugal? Nah. Cheap? Nah. Smart? Yeah!
I think it's perfectly acceptable!! You paid for your BOC, so it's not like the stuff was free or a re-gift (and even if that were the case, I'd still think it woud be fine!!) It's the thought of the gift, not the price or where you got it, and if it feels right, that's all that matters. :)
Damn reply box. Had a reply typed out, went to click submit, hand slipped, clicked outside the box and POOF! it's gone.
You are just going to have to wonder what I wrote now.
This friggin reply box sucks!
That's pretty much what I'm doing. But not just stocking stuffers, actual gifts too!
I also have a bunch of stuff ready for the next user BOC exchange....which I may even break down and offer another soon as I have just too much stuff and no where for it to go!
As long as nobody knows you got it for nothing (or close to nothing), all's fair in gifts and crap.
Just leave out the bedbugs
Whats a BOC? Haven't seen or heard of one of those in a couple months...
BoC items make great White Elephant gifts.
@bill7718: LOL! I'm sure it was brilliant! Is it the clicking outside of the box that deletes your comment? I keep doing that and hadn't figured out what I was clicking to cause my comment to disappear.
And, BTW, the duffel you included in my Wootizen BOC has been appropriated by DH, dang it! I think I'll wait until he goes to sleep and re-appropriate it!
Stocking stuffers? Heck, I'm using a few things as full-on gifts!
Haha, I re-gifted BOC stuff on three separate occasions as birthday gifts. One each to my niece and nephew and the other to my sister.
You have nothing to worry about using BOC stuff as stocking stuffers. There is no eternal damnation waiting for you.
About useful stocking stuffers: My brother-in-law's family puts socks and underwear in their stockings, it quickly spread to my sister and now I can expect new boxers and socks at Christmas-time. It's actually a great and frugal idea.
P.S. Hmm. It's a good idea that my sister isn't on woot...at least I think she isnt...
Good god, that's practically what they're for!
@curtisuxor: On the topic of useful stocking stuffers, I laughed when I first saw my (then, future) in-laws put a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, deoderant, shampoo, razors and, yes, socks and underwear in their kids stockings. Then I realized that, as a poor college student, these were things I needed and had to budget for! I carried the idea to my family and we've carried it on from there. In addition to items such as those listed we include non-candy food favorites such as jars of olives, marinated artichoke hearts, etc. When my kids were younger (pre-digital camera/camera-phone days) we topped each stocking with a disposable camera. Santa left the stocking at the foot of their beds and they were allowed to dig through those goodies before we all dashed (together) to the tree to see what Santa had brought. They were also encouraged to record the day with their disposable cameras.
Now that I think of it, I believe I've gotten some tiny digital cameras in BOCs. Hmmmmm.
Perfectly acceptable for stocking stuffers, as long as you are gifting useful items that the average person would use.
@meadowlark: Then I guess I shouldn't gift those random gadget cables that have accumulated. (sigh) DANG!
Nothing at all wrong with using BOC items. You paid for them, they aren't used, and it seems like you are giving some though as to what people may find useful or enjoy. Really, its the same as shopping for the person specifically.
I'm actually not sure what else you are supposed to do with them.
If you put BoC items in a stocking, would that make is a SoC?
In my family this is what stockings are for, trinkets and such. Real gifts are for under the tree.

Does a microSD adapter exist that doesn't stick out of the MacBook Pro SD card slot? I don't want to live in fear of breaking the SD card off while carrying around my laptop.
I know this is an old question but I just found it via a Google search. Check out the Nifty MiniDrive which is exactly what you are describing.
Check out this low profile micro SD card reader for the Raspberry Pi computer: http://www.adafruit.com/products/966
$6 versus $25 for the Kickstarter polished Nifty Drive (I actually bought one for a friend).
I think the Nifty MiniDrive might be exactly what you're looking for:
Are you looking for something like a half-length SD card->microSD adapter? If you want to use that slot, the card is going to stick out--you're probably not allowed to license the SD spec without making the card that size.
However, there are some incredibly small USB drives/card readers that are bigger inside the port than they are outside. This microSD card reader's slot is inside the usb port, and this is a USB drive with a similar form factor.
there are tons of sd/micro sd card readers that usb but they have the same danger. the only alternative is to use a usb extension to plug one of those in, but it still sticks out like any usb cord and can still damage ur usb port. i recommend just sticking to a micro sd to sd adapter and just use caution when using the card

Loyola University Chicago chooses students who will become physicians that care about standards of service, excellence, and dedicated patient care. Stritch students become good physicians not only because of what they have learned, but also because of who they are. Our application process allows students to express their personality, interests and abilities, as well as demonstrate their academic accomplishments. Members of the Committee on Admissions, which includes faculty, residents and students, are devoted to selecting a diverse class of capable, multi-talented individuals who will be able to work well together as they begin their life-long study of medicine. x
The first step in applying to Stritch is to complete a standardized application, which is provided by the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) beginning in early April. Students submit this application electronically to AMCAS and designate which medical schools are to receive a copy.
Association of American Medical Colleges
2450 N Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20037-1126
(202) 828-0600 or (202) 828-0400
Admissions officers at Stritch review AMCAS applications to determine which applicants will be sent the Stritch Supplemental Application, which includes short-answer and essay questions that allow students to present their personal experiences and insights. As part of the Supplemental Application, prospective students must also have letters of recommendation submitted on their behalf.
Stritch accepts applications from June 1 through November 15 each year. We accept supplemental applications through December 11. Since the school uses a rolling admissions process, however, those who submit their AMCAS application and all supporting materials in the summer and early fall will enhance their potential for being offered direct acceptance into the class.
First-time applicants who are unsuccessful in gaining admission to the Stritch School of Medicine may reapply. Third applications, however, are not encouraged. Stritch's Committee on Admissions will consider these applications only if significant improvement is evident in a letter requesting permission to submit a third application.
Letters of Recommendation are accepted through the AMCAS letter service. In order for your file to be reviewed by the Committee on Admissions at the Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM), letters of recommendation are required from the following sources:
1. Either a packet from your Premedical Committee (A single committee letter without complete corresponding letters from faculty does not constitute a packet)
2. Two science faculty letters and one non-science faculty letter. If option 2 is selected, a letter from your premedical or academic advisor is optional.
3. If you have transferred during your undergraduate career, please request at least one letter from a faculty member at each school you attended. These letters may fulfill part of the requirements stated in number 2 above, or they may be submitted in addition to those requirements. If you feel the faculty members at some schools can no longer supply meaningful evaluations, please explain this on your supplemental application.
4. If you are or were a graduate student, please request a letter from your graduate advisor and any appropriate professors. These letters should be submitted in addition to the requirements stated in 1, 2 and 3 above.
If your school has a system for premedical advising and evaluation and you do not submit material through the system, you must explain your reasons for not doing so. Also, if you are unable to submit any one of the required letters, explain your reasons on your supplemental application.
Although confidential letters of evaluation are of most use to the Committee on Admissions, it is not required that you waive your right of access to these letters. It is necessary, however, that you inform all appropriate parties of your decision to waive or not waive your right of access to letters of evaluation written on your behalf.
You may submit a maximum of three letters in addition to those required. If you request additional letters, you should make sure that the authors will be able to submit them within the same time frame as the required letters of evaluation, since all letters must be on file before your application to Loyola-Stritch is considered complete.
Completed files are reviewed to determine if the applicant is eligible for interview. Interviews take place at the medical school from early September through the end of February and allow prospective students to speak with faculty members and students. Applicants also tour Loyola's facilities with a current medical student who can describe the educational experience and what it's like to attend the Stritch School of Medicine.
Earliest Date: October 15
Latest Date: Until class is filled
Orientation for new students usually takes place in late July and classes begin the first Monday in August.
Basic Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree
- 1 academic year of general chemistry, general biology, general physics, and organic chemistry--all with laboratory (biochemistry can be substituted for part of the organic requirement) Please note: Advanced Placement credits are acceptable to fulfill requirements, however, we recommend applicants to complete additional science courses to maintain their science knowledge.
- Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Oldest MCAT considered is 4 years prior to anticipated entrance into Stritch School of Medicine. Please note that beginning 2016-2017 cycle MCAT scores more than THREE years old from the year of anticipated entrance into medical school are not accepted.
- Applicants must be U.S. citizens or hold a permanent resident visa, or be eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at the time of application.
- Applicants enrolled in advanced degree programs must expect to complete their degrees prior to matriculation.
- Although first-time applicants who are unsuccessful in gaining admission may reapply, third applications are not encouraged and will be considered only if significant improvement is evident.
- The applicant's academic record should exhibit a continued interest in learning and an ability to successfully tackle intellectual challenges. Any undergraduate major can prepare students for the rigors of medical school. We strongly recommend, however, that a student's undergraduate years include liberal arts and science courses, as a broad education will serve them well throughout their life. We also require that students possess basic computer skills, as much of their course work at the Stritch School of Medicine requires these basic skills.
Personal characteristic
Just as important as academic achievement is the applicant's character, desire to serve others, and understanding of the medical profession. Our application essay and admissions interview allow prospective students to demonstrate these qualities. Ideal candidates possess maturity, integrity and the ability to work with a diverse patient population. In keeping with our Jesuit heritage, we look favorably upon candidates who have shown the capacity to work and care for people from different social and economic groups, as well as learn from them. Involvement in community service is an advantage in that it demonstrates a concern for others and an ability to manage time efficiently. Of course, the Committee on Admissions recognizes that some people have limited opportunities for community service due to responsibilities at work and home.
Prior to submitting their application, prospective students should explore the medical profession to learn about some of the ethical, social, and economic issues confronting physicians today. Such an exploration will provide students with an awareness of the rewards and limitations of medicine. It can take many forms, including shadowing experiences and conversations with practicing physicians and other health care professionals or a hands-on experience, such as volunteering at a home for the developmentally disabled or caring for an aging relative.
The MCAT
Applicants must submit scores from the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), which is given nationally several times a year. We recommend that candidates take the MCAT in the Spring, but no later than September, of the year of application. Files with pending MCAT scores are withheld from review until scores post, therefore we advise taking the test as early as possible. The Stritch admissions committee does NOT have a cutoff for consideration based on MCAT score. Please note that beginning 2016-2017 cycle MCAT scores more than THREE years old from the year of anticipated entrance into medical school are not accepted. Registration materials can be obtained online at https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/mcat/

I am looking at the proof of Bishop's Theorem on pages 122 and 123 of Rudin's Functional Analysis. The following quote is from the the last two sentences of the proof on pg. 123.
"Every continuous linear functional on $C(S)$ that annihilates $A$ also annihilates g. Hence $g\in A$ by the Hahn-Banach Separation Theorem."
I understand the first sentence but I don't see why that and the HBST implies $g\in A$.

However there are more than a few guys out there that have no problems with this. You will also like the fact that these are Leather Lined. The combination of the VitalizeT Insole and the AG7 Outsole, along with the heel that has a Heel Height of 1 5/8 inches and a 915 Toe design make walking all over the place and working pretty comfortable. Part of the purpose behind the AG7 Outsole's design is to give you guys that are wearing these boots as much traction as possible. It seems that the heel height of 1 5/8 inches is perfect for just about any terrain you are on. Available Men's Sizes: D 7 to 14 and EE 7 to 13.

1. doplStatus is incorrectly placed inside curly braces: '{ doplStatus: ...'
2. In your function calls, 'this.data' will do nothing. To access a property of the model you passed as the arrgument: value.someProperty.

I'm sorry ... I do not know much yet to learn ... Could you give me the code my mistakes ... I would be very grateful to you.
23 Oct 2013 1:31 AM #13
The mistakes are:
1. Curly braces around your function names are only around the 'doplStatus' function. The closing curly brace should be after your last function
2. The way you reference data in your function is incorrect, I gave an example of how to correctly reference a value in my previous reply

7 Weeks to Summer-
Over the next seven weeks Christine Avanti, celebrity nutritionist, chef and author of Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads will be giving you slim down tips as we count down to an ULTRA LEAN SUMMER.
FAMILY DINNERS CAN HELP YOU SLIM DOWN! According to research, eating dinner as a family on a regular basis has some substantial health benefits. While dining together family bonds become stronger, children are more secure and confident, family members eat more nutrition packed meals, and everyone is less likely to be overweight. Given these positive benefits, I must encourage everyone reading this blog to PLEASE make an effort to cook and dine together as a family as often as possible. For the last 30 years, we've stopped having family dinners and we've eaten many of our meals on the road or from take out. And look what has happened to our country - we've got an obesity epidemic. A recent study showed that families that didn't sit for dinner together were at much higher risk for obesity. The time is now to get back to the family dinner. The number one complaint I hear from clients is that they are too busy to have dinner as a family. My response: PLANNING AND TEAMWORK!
1) Grocery shop for your favorite healthy staples at least once a week. (see shopping list on last week's blog post).
2) Enlist the entire family to help in the meal and kitchen preparation. Prepping the food, setting the table, washing the cooking utensils as you are preparing the meal. Become a delegator; maybe your son or daughter can't chop vegetables but they can help you by washing the veggies before you chop them.
3) Prepare quick and simple meals by grilling or using frozen seafood such as frozen shrimp (takes only 2 minutes to defrost).
4) Say grace before you eat. This will help slow you down and put everything into perspective. Prayer before meal time helps us to shift the focus from feeling rushed to feeling grateful, peaceful and self controlled.

Welcome to NYU London! We're delighted that you'll be spending your first year with us and can't wait to greet you in London. In the meantime, this page will guide you through everything you need to get ready for your term abroad.
Please note that the British government requires that your passport be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned return from study abroad. The government retains the right to deny you entry into the UK if your passport is not valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned return (December 2017), so make sure to renew it now.
US Students who need to renew or get a new passport should have it expedited. To review procedures for having a passport expedited, they should refer to this government website. They fall under the category of needing a passport for a foreign visa within 4 weeks. If necessary, Liberal Studies can produce a letter to assist in expediting the visa. To secure the letter, email email@example.com.
Students who have already submitted their passport--without having already asked for it to be expedited--can still request expedited processing by contacting a customer service center.
Below you'll find instructions for getting your visa, along with sample visa applications and supporting materials. Information is tailored for US students, and incoming students who are not US citizens are best served by getting information from their local consulate.
Please note: students cannot begin the UK visa application process sooner than 90 days prior to the beginning of their academic program. For Fall 2017freshmen, the EARLIEST you can begin your visa application is May 30, 2017.
Bear in mind that NYU does not have the ability to change visa requirements, nor does it help if we call consulates or embassies on your behalf. Though we're happy to help you in whatever way we can, the decision to issue you a visa rests solely with the consulate or embassy.
NOTE: The Tier-4 Visa is required for all students spending a full year in London. Obtaining a Tier-4 Visa requires a Confirmation of Acceptance for Study (or "CAS") Number. In order to obtain a CAS Number, you must complete your Visa Survey (available May 1st) by the deadline (May 8th). Failure to meet this deadline might result in your inability to obtain a Tier-4 visa.
We absolutely cannot, by law, under any circumstances, obtain a CAS Number less than 6 weeks prior to your arrival in the UK. This means, if you haven't completed your Visa Survey, selected the Tier-4 visa, and been assigned a CAS number before July 15th, 2017, you will not be able to obtain a Tier 4 visa for your freshman year at NYU London and may need to defer your admission to NYU a full academic year.
Please be sure to click on the link below and submit your visa and summer address information through the Liberal Studies Visa and Summer Address Form by May 8th. Keep in mind that the information included on this form is very important so the sooner you return it to our office, the better.
To access the form, students will need to log in through NYUHome using their netid and password. Some students may also need to download the VPN client and Webproxy offered through NYU.
Please update your contact information through NYUHome to ensure that all materials get to you promptly.
In addition to the online forms, we also require two paper forms. These are simple to complete, but will require your time and may require a visit to your physician, so please plan ahead.
New York State law and/or New York University requires that all newly admitted students (graduate, undergraduate and transfers) complete several health related requirements before August 1, 2017. Please visit the Student Health Center's website for more information about the full set of requirements.
A Note about Immunizations: It is critical that students, especially those outside of the United States (where many of these immunizations are already required) make appointments with their doctors now to be immunized for MMR or Meningitis, as per University guidelines. Though the Student Immunization History Form will be mailed to you in your Summer Acceptance packet, these vaccinations may need to be given over the span of several weeks and should be started at the earliest possible date. Questions about whether prior or current vaccinations will bring you into compliance--or any other questions about immunization or other health requirements--may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Two-year Core Program students should submit the Academic Profile Questionnaire for the Core Program through a secure online form. GLS students should submit the Academic Profile Questionnaire for GLS through a secure online form.
This information will assist Liberal Studies in registering you for your courses in the fall semester. Any additional questions about submitting either Academic Profile Form may be directed to Beth Haymaker, Director of Global Programs at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To access the form, students will need to log in through NYUHome using their netid and password. Some students may also need to download the VPN client and Webproxy offered through NYU.
All students are required to submit a combination of paper and online forms. These forms are used to collect needed information for your upcoming year like housing preferences, immigration preparation, and arrival itinerary.
For more information about required forms and relevant links please see the Freshmen in London blog.

Video: Another great moment in nominating Obama donors as ambassadors
posted at 9:01 pm on February 6, 2014 by Mary Katharine Ham
Granted, it's not as if this is a new practice or solely the practice of Democratic administrations, not by a long shot. But I don't recall seeing so many grossly ignorant nominees put their gross ignorance on display so readily.
First, there was Norway.
Then Sen. Max Baucus, who is not a donor per se, but certainly benefits from a sort of chummy patronage in his nomination to the China ambassadorship (and should know better than to drop the ball in a Senate hearing).
Now, Argentina. This is nothing a backpacking trip or a perusal of Wikipedia, at the very least, couldn't solve. These guys are super-rich! Take an educational tour before you take questions in front of the Senate:
But, really, who's going to stop them? What price is there to pay? The Secretary of Defense gave one of the most woeful confirmation performances in the history of confirmation performances and the entire press corps decided it was the height of obstructionism to suggest that meant anything about whether he was fit for the position and took to the fainting couch when he had to wait a week to be confirmed.
So, who's worrying about an ambassador to a Latin American country of emerging importance? I hope the ambassador enjoys his first visit.

Jennifer Hudson's Oscar Dress Hits The Runway
The Oscar de la Renta Fall 2007 fashion show at Tuesday's Saks Fifth Avenue Colleagues' luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire featured lots of dresses paired with boleros, but honoree Brooke Shields kept it simple in an LBD and heels by the designer. Perhaps she recalled the beating Jennifer Hudson took when she showed up to the Oscars in one of Oscar de la Renta's shiny cropped creations. In fact, J Hud's bolero and brown dress actually made an appearance at the luncheon. No, not on Molly Sims and Angie Harmon, who showed up in more demure dresses from the designer, but on the runway, where it garnered a far more favorable reaction – there was actual clapping as people gasped at the idea that this was the much maligned dress. Another fashion déjà vu moment: the fuchsia gown worn by Jessica Biel. Note to Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley, who infamously styled Hudson for the Oscars: just because a look works on the runway doesn't mean that it'll work on the red carpet.
