It's cold and rainy in Washington DC today, but the heat is definitely on!

The winner of the Solar Decathlon will be named tomorrow (Friday) at 8 am EST. It's turned into a real nailbiter with only a few points separating the top four teams. Team California is currently in second place, but anything could happen with tomorrow's announcement of the engineering contest (100 points) and the net metering contest (150 points).

The Today Show will be on hand tomorrow to tape a segment on smart homes that will run the second week of November. We will keep you posted on air date and time.

eARTh: Opening November 6

"eARTh" is a celebration of art created from elements derived from the earth -- glass, clay, stone, and plaster. While the exhibit will showcase techniques taught at The Crucible, it is not limited to art done at The Crucible. Submissions for this exhibit are welcomed from staff, faculty, students, and any Bay Area based artists working in a medium applicable to the theme (glass, stone, plaster, clay). The exhibit will run six weeks and include an artist reception and media coverage.

The television show Important Things with Demetri Martin, which airs on Comedy Central, is coming to San Francisco in November for three days to tape live studio shows. CCA students are invited be a part of the live studio audience—free.

The location and exact dates are being confirmed, but students can now sign up to be audience participants.

Sign up!
