One of you readers recently let me know of the February Fourier Talks (http://www.norbertwiener.umd.edu/FFT/FFT11/index.html) being held on February 17 and 18 at the University of Maryland Norbert Wiener Center for Harmonic Analysis and Application (http://www.norbertwiener.umd.edu/).Thank you anonymnous reader.

Recent entries I'll probably be re-reading include:

• The Dip
  
• Reading the Donoho-Tanner Diagram
  
• Compressive Sensing Landscape version 0.2
  
• "...I found this idea of CS sketchy,..."
  
• Islands of Knowledge
  
• CS: Just throw away your lenses .. but not before you perform some calibration.
  
• CS: "..how come your browser can't read JPEG-2000 ?.." , Q&As and some papers
  
• CS: Teaching Compressed Sensing (Part 1)
  
• CS: SMALL Workshop posters and Videos of the Talks
  
• CS: SMALL Workshop slides
  
• CS: Low Rank Compressive Spectral Imaging and a multishot CASSI

And remember these series of random measurements, they rotate in a randomized carousel .....
