I was calmed down from the fantasy of winning this season when we ended with a draw at the boxing day. Now the fantasy comes up with an ironic winning on our side and an ironic lost of the rival. I do not care about how ManU lost the game and how arsenal won the points. It does not matter. So many years that we play beautiful games but we lose the season. What we need is a victory with not only "music and waltz" but also a victory with blood and guts. Now we have it. We stood up after boxing day and we firing back right away. And also ironically, gunners win without my witness. Maybe I should never watch your game so that you can always win. Come on, arsenal.

Although I am a 200 percent gunner fans, I always witness lose or draw of arsenal. Yesterday, gunners does not play as smooth as they used to be. They faced a tough host after christmas and I have to say that it is a fair draw. Even if ManU is ahead by one now, I am still not disappointed. I did not anticipate such a successful season since the King of Highbury left to some stupid spanish team, which by the way sucks a lot. I was impressed by the extraordinary performance of the young gunners and also the old gunners. It is Sol, our huge tower once, that stopped us going ahead. It is old gunners who challenged the young arsenal. I am seeing a bright future of these young guys with all these spirits. And also, ManU has a wonderful season too.

Breakthrough: High-throughput sequencing techniques are bringing the cost of genomics down to a level that 1000 dollar personal genome story is not only a fantasy but at a reachable position. As human genomes are closely looked at individually, not only difference found-scattered SNPs, repeats, deletions, but also increasing numbers of genes are recognized to be associated with disease risks. Will all these techniques and our incentive to understand ourselves better, it is not surprising that in the next five years, we will know what makes me me. Runner ups: 1. Very strong breakthrough: reprograming somatic cell with defined factors into pluripotent cells. It is a breakthrough in the field of human stem cell in two steps: first, it provided a method to manufacture personalized stem cell that can be used in future regenerative clinical without immune rejection. Second, it takes a major step towards ending controversy over embryonic stem cell research. 2. tracing cosmic bullets: cosmic particles smaller that a atom hitting the early with high energy as a golf ball hitting a fairway. Now, we can trace these invaders. 3.receptor. 20 years of efforts to draw a picture for you 4. beyond silicon: Transition metal oxides new semiconductors for future computers 5: electron take a new spin 6: Divide to conquer: After primering by dendritic cells, Dividing T cell inherit different molecules from the mother. Some fight with the invaders while others keep silent but memorizing what the invaders look like. 兄弟不同命，留得青山在，不怕没菜烧。 （ To Shuang, I think it must be a very interesting paper that you should read) 7: 8:Back to the future: remembering the past helps picturing the future. In our brain, history talks with future. 9: Game over. Chess always results in a draw if you do not make any mistake. So, chess is a boring game theoretically. Another game that human can not beat computer. enjoy~

我不是很喜欢读书的人，尤其是小说——一来耐不住想知道结尾，于是会很快的翻到后面去看，二来不喜欢看到很罗索的语言描写和描写环境的句子。现在觉得这样不好，倒不是附庸风雅，实在是觉得不读书不看报，知道的东西也比较的少，人有时侯会象个傻瓜一样。虽然我实在不知道为什么大家对谈论local的车祸或者谋杀案很有兴趣。所以，我决定看一些杂志。 我看的最多的还是一些paper.一些果蝇的review都看过5篇以上了，每次看都觉得很有意思，（打破这个纪录的可能就是“friends”）了。还有就是一些很短的发现性很强的东西，不需要知道很多，就可以了解他回答了一个什么样的问题，有时侯问题很简单，但是自己却也不一定能够想到。最喜欢的是感觉系统的东西，很真切的知道我在感受着这个世界，能看到东西，听到东西，闻到香味，品尝人生的酸甜，却不知道为什么我能感觉到这些，感觉到这些的原理是什么。我的嗅觉一直不是很灵敏，所以我就看它看的多一点。 不过有时候很忙，真的连看看书的时间都没有了。paper一个礼拜也看不了几篇，而且有时侯也是不得不看的那种。恩，趁这个节日，抓紧时间。刚刚下了一个和听觉有关的review, 在看之前我对听觉除了生理学课程上的三块听小骨以外一无所知。不知道看了以后是云里雾里，还是毛塞顿开。 我定的杂志还没有来，等了好久了......

在现实中挣扎的人很容易记不得什么是梦想，因为现实总是很残酷很捉弄人。所以，为了不受打击，干脆忘掉梦想也许会更开心一点。就当我以为，我也会慢慢的变成这样的时候，今天下午，至少在这两个钟头里面，让我感受到了，有时侯哪怕是最简单的梦想，哪怕就是那么稍微的接近一点点，也许自己脑子很清楚是不会实现的东西，也会很开心。 下午，几个踢野球认识的几个球友打电话给我说去踢球。外面虽然是冰点以下，操场上是冻土，我也穿着短库过去了。让我很惊喜的是，他们几个准备组织一个室内足球的league.和当地的几个league一起，周末踢联赛。我也被邀请参加了。虽然我很清楚这个是很业余很业余的比赛，但是不知道怎么的，从来没有参加过很正规的联赛的我居然还是比较的激动。我想足球也不算是我什么梦想，但是也算是我生活中很重要的一部分。除了吃饭，睡觉和学习以外很重要的一部分。一直孜孜不倦的看比赛录象，看足球bbs，总以为自己喜欢上足球比较的晚，这辈子和足球是大的缘分。就算是一直开玩笑的梦想是要和我的偶像，Henry吃一次中国菜，也觉得很搞笑。所以，生活中对足球比较主动的态度可能就是在电脑上下个TV-ants周末看看比赛了。 没有想到几个球友（我都不怎么能说上名字的）能都主动到去组织一个队参加比赛。我自认为自己还是很有梦想的人，没有想到有时侯很清醒的知道自己和足球无缘的时候，还能有这个小小的东西能让我的心得到安慰。 面对生活，不管多困难，就算是已经忘掉的梦想都能给你带来很大的快乐

佛可能是世界上最聪明的神。他的一句“不可说”描述了这个世界的状态和生活在这个世界上的人面临的无奈。当人慢慢长大，就会发现这个世界，真的没有办法说他是什么，而且真的有很多事情，不知道怎么说。 但是就是这个不可说，让很多人退却，让很多好事请没有变成现实，让好多心灵得不到沟通。也许，鼓励和勇气真是很重要的。

第一次来湖区，在chicago待了一个晚上就赶车去安娜堡，一个有着美丽名字的地方。虽然在芝加哥的风中等久久不来的megabus是一件很痛苦的事情，但是一上了94高速，坐在暖和的双层bus的顶层，看着外面宽阔的湖区的农田，草地，好心情马上就来了。天气一直很好，四个小时很快，车就停在了离umich校区不远的地方。等一了会，就看到戴薇同学开着她的漂亮豪华的“小阁”。然后就是在密大的校区逛了三个钟头。校区倒并不是很大，但很有味道。来来往往的都是学生，有走路的，有骑车的。戴上了有蓝色M的帽子在校园里走一点也没有局外人的感觉。也许是很久没有在一个是学校的校园里生活过，那种感觉真好。感受最深的是他们的Michigan union，一座很有特色的多功能活动中心，顶上飘着很有主人感的M.走进去，一边是动，有club,有cafe；一边是静，学生在读书管看书。听人说围着火炉在冬天里看书是很快乐安逸的事情，在那边果然是有火炉的，虽然已经不再有人用了。 不过最开心的事情还不是这些，看到了有时间没见到过的老朋友是最大的收获。还有就是很幸运的吃到戴薇妈妈做的好吃的扎肉和毛豆干；第一次亲眼看到斑马鱼；听戴薇同学聊很有意思的research project的感想，还有老刘和他的室友发明的一种听上去诡异，玩上去无聊的游戏。一切虽然就发生在24个小时以内，但印象就象是我去安那堡故地重游。
