Event: $50K Top 5 Finalist Business Plan Presentations and Awards Ceremony

What: Free food and drinks (sorry, coffee or soda only). And also: Top 5 Finalists for the UCSD $50K Business Plan Competition will pitch to a round of judges live on stage. There will be a lunch session and the top 3 will be selected while judges are eating their specially selected food which stimulate their judging ability. Award ceremony to the top 3 will follow. There will be a bunch of people who have more knowledge and experience than you can ever imagine about business. You can talk to them.

When: Sat. May 31st. 9AM - 2PM

Where: CalIT2 Auditorium, Atkinson Hall. The map is pretty useless. It’s here because CalIT2 use it as their map link. Just go to the (Sony) Stone Dog Bear in Warren college at 9 AM on 5/31 and you will see a bunch of people in suits and you know you are at the right place.

Cost: Free

RSVP: Here

I’ve been in $50K for almost two years now, and this is going to be one event that I strongly recommend people going. Forget about the workshops that teach you how to write business plan. Forget about the mixers that introduce you to a network of entrepreneurs. This is about the selected few individuals that worked their way through three rounds of judging and present their ideas in a professional manner. Unless you’re thinking about working in a VC firm, how often do you see that?

短短幾行的 pseudo code 卻要看一堆書畫一堆圖看一堆 slide 再喝幾杯咖啡並原地走了快一小時才寫得出來，不過寫出來時候的那種成就感是非常充實的。Bioinformatics 真是個有趣的領域，Pavel Pevzner 的書和課實在是★★★★★沒話說。

有可以期待的未來，日子過得特別快樂。不過被整了，會確實的整回去的，嗯哼。

歐，房子算是找到了，沒意外的話應該會住在[這]。

It’s been dead for a while, but nevertheless, it’s back up now. The Project UCSD is at http://project.ucsd.edu/, and currently it only has the old UCSD Professor, and CampusCalendar (I think Jason just made that name up). There are ideas, but we shall see how it will play out. All these student organization stuff looks like a busy 2007-2008 to me, not even including the two hypothetical research papers that hopefully will materialize.

Quite a huge list of todos, and I wonder if it is even possible. Dream Big.

This week is hell.

Given permutations π and σ, a breakpoint between π and σ is defined as a pair of adjacent elements π_i and π_i+1 in π that are separated in σ. For example, if π = 143256 and σ = 123465, then π₁ = 1 and π₂= 4 in π form a breakpoint between π and σ since 1 and 4 are separated in σ. The number of breakpoints between π=01432567 and σ=01234567 is three (14, 25 and 67), while the number of breakpoints between σ and π is also three (12, 46 and 57).

Prove that the number of breakpoints between π and σ equals the number of breakpoints between σ and π.
