Over the past 50 years, the data storage industry has changed rapidly while introducing different types of memories such as Hard Disc Drives, CDs, DVDs, and more recently, Flash memories. Eitan Yaakobi will give an overview of the different types of memories. Flash memories have replaced hard disc drives in many of these applications because of their high data-transfer rates, mechanical durability, and low power consumption. However, on the other hand, these memories still suffer from several drawbacks and challenges. We will discuss some of these problems and show how coding solutions are employed with spectacular success in order to achieve performance trade-offs and improvements.
Programming for seniors ages 65 and better

Climate Conversations
Date: April 25, 2011
Time 5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Despite twenty years of diplomacy the world has made essentially no progress in stopping global warming. Professor David G. Victor argues that the recent string of failed conferences, such as in Copenhagen and Cancun, are forcing governments to get a lot more serious about this looming problem. Based on Professor Victor's recently released book Global Warming Gridlock, the program will conclude with a book signing. The book will be available for purchase.
This interactive lecture series is designed for high school students to adults.
This program is free but pre-registration is required. Please RSVP to (619)238-1233, ext 847.
