Iterative Reweighted Algorithms for Sparse Signal Recovery
I am curious about $ell_p$ minimization for $p<1$ especially for the case $p=0$ which seems to be NP hard. However, the non-convex optimization via iterative reweighted least squares can offer a viable suboptimal solution with reasonable computational cost. The regularization … Continue reading

Sharapova won Australian open
I think that she deserves it. Her championship speech is also very touching.

Good luck or bad luck?
I just realized that when people say good luck most of the time they actually mean that you can try your luck but it probably will be a bad one. When I had a traffic accident, the state police wrote … Continue reading

Caught a bad cold today
Still feel chilling and almost got shaky during the group seminar. I guess that the accident took a few days if not longer to get over with. Anyway, I will take the evening off for watching the golden globe ceremony.

车祸后续
警察20分钟后赶到,看了车祸现场,取走了我的驾照保险和车注册记录,问我为何会失控,然后给我写了张罚单,speed too fast on conditions。我的车被拖到了Sulphur的Wrecker Service,拖车司机说车基本报废了,他可以帮我处理掉。当晚我只能住在附近的Econo Lodge,回想车后备箱里从修斯敦中国城买的美食,如今只从公路边捡回两个小南瓜,拿微波炉热了随便对付当晚餐了。后备箱被撞开时很多物品都飞了出去,所幸是没有和其他车辆相撞。第二天老婆请假开车来接我回家,我在Econo Lodge等她时和前台的Angel, Malisa聊起对人生的看法,她们都觉得我应该为能从这样的车祸中幸免于难而感谢上帝,可我却为陪伴我这些年走南闯北的丰田佳美报废而感到难过。回家后晚饭直奔玫瑰园,吃的当然没有修斯敦好,但是我的fortune cookie却写着Every burden is a blessing。没有什么比经历车祸而神志清醒更能理解这句话的意义。

出车祸了
从修斯敦中国领事馆申请更换护照回来的路上,车流一直很繁忙,我在上I-10之前加满了油,然后打算一口气开回家。在5点多钟快进路易斯安娜州时雨下得大了起来,我关了CD,远远地跟着前面一辆车,路上积水不深,我的速度大约在60-65之间。到路州Marker 17附近过一个公路桥时,我在最左边车道行驶忽然发现前面有辆车离我距离很近但没开车灯,我轻踩刹车方向盘突然就失控了,之后车子开始打转并冲向高速路中间的水泥墩,几个摩擦反弹之后我的车横在了高速路最左边的车道,我目睹后面的皮卡由远而近最后终于停在距离我两米远的地方。皮卡司机很快把车停到隔离带并打上了紧急灯,他来到我车子的驾驶室外,问我能否打开车门,有没有受伤。我爬出车后脑子里出现了短暂的空白,感觉自己象007 Casino Royale里面的特技表演,车子里的气囊都没有弹出,而我似乎也没有受伤。雨一直在下,打了911之后我有点耳鸣听不到对方说什么,还是皮卡司机帮我描述了事故地点。我的衬衣已经湿透了,而皮卡司机是个中年男子,似乎很有经验,从车里取出毯子披上,让我不要担心,他会陪我直到警察来。

Killing me softly
Not with this song, but Kaige Chen’s only foreign film. A creepy chiller that aspires to greatness but doesn’t achieve it. It’s got: Heather Graham seems to have unsimulated sex with Joseph Fiennes.
