Today we have a few blog entries of interest, enjoy!

• Tiebin Mi is opening a mirror site for Nuit Blanche so it can be read in China.
• Hao talks about Summary of Block Compressed Sensing on Image
• Zhilin mentions that Andrew Ng is at UCSD today but also mentions the different CS related sessions at ICASSP 2012
• Meena talks about a presentation on Medical visualization frontier application
• Greg shows his latest phased array system using Wifi antenna
• Vladimir mention Imec Demos 100-band Hyperspectral Sensor and a 1M fps CCD Camera
• Brian wrote an introduction to compressive sensing.
• Bob finds Faults in the Tzanetakis Music Genre Dataset
• Danny reports about LexisNexis ML library - Advisory Panel: to PCA or not to PCA?
• John talks about the connection between mechanics and thermodynamics.
• Tomasz talks about connecting Matlab and GaphViz tools.
• and finally Andrew gives his views on a Suggested resolution of the Bem paradox. I like his description:

" Before going on, perhaps it’s worth briefly reviewing who is hurt by the publication of flawed research. It’s not a victimless crime. Here are some of the malign consequences:

- Wasted time and resources spent by researchers trying to replicate non-findings and chasing down dead ends.

- Fake science news bumping real science news off the front page.

- When the errors and scandals come to light, a decline in the prestige of higher-quality scientific work.

- Slower progress of science, delaying deeper understanding of psychology, medicine, and other topics that we deem important enough to deserve large public research efforts..."
