週末的校園，夜來張燈結彩，擴建後的【普萊斯活動中心】(Price Center) 被彩绸與看板裝飾一新。UCSD校長普拉蒂霍斯拉(Pradeep Khosla)親自主持星期六(11月 15日)晚的授獎晚宴, 向五位護獎者表達崇高敬意。大廳裡巨幅屏幕依次放映與五人有關的短片以及同事，友人對他們的高度評價。錢煦教授被第一個介紹給全場將近300名嘉賓， 他的得意門生，華裔博士滕大愚在短片中稱頌錢煦教授治學嚴謹，誨人不倦。

校長霍斯拉則強調錢煦是創辦UCSD生物工程系的功臣，指出該系在錢煦的領導下已經穩居全美同行之首，為國家及世界培養出眾多生物技術領域的頂尖人才。霍斯拉還說，錢煦的傑出成就，使他成為美國國家科學院等多個高端學術機構的院士。2011年更為他帶來護總統頒發美國國家科學獎章的殊榮，他不愧為科研工作者的楷模。

12月6日南加州科工学会举办云计算和大数据科技讲座

【大紀元2014年12月15日訊】（大紀元記者張岳綜合報導）近幾年媒體一直在喊雲計算時代來了，大數據時代來了。雲、雲端、雲計算、大數據，這些名詞到底是什麼意思？讀完本文，您應該會有一個更清晰的認知，意識到我們的工作生活已經和雲計算與大數據緊密的聯繫在一起。

歷史回顧：發明家愛迪生落敗於交流電網

雲計算被業界人士廣泛認為是第四次信息技術革命，如果您還沒有意識到這句話的份量，不妨重溫一下第二次技術革命即電力革命中輸電方式之爭，可一見端倪。

愛迪生先後發明了電燈泡、電流表、發電機等，構建了一套完整的供電系統，並採用直流電輸送。在當時和之後相當長時間內，沒有技術支持直流電實現長距離輸送，雖然交流電可以解決遠距離輸電問題，但愛迪生固守直流電，並鼓勵每個社區自己發電，於是分散的小型電廠遍地開花。
