<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>To be fair—while it’s a bummer if it moves off the mall—the reason is b/c of the effort to restore the Mall, which is in complete shambles. What they should probably do is keep it on the Mall this year and tie in awareness and fundraising for the restoration effort. I bet a lot of the visitors would pitch in. John Stewart is part of the restoration program—part of the proceeds from their Fall March to Restore Sanity went to it.<BR>

THE 20 TEAMS OF THE SOLAR DECATHLON 2011 NEED YOUR HELP.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
This international solar home design/build competition is now homeless, as the traditional venue for the competition, the National Mall, is suddenly no longer available to host this event. The change of location, one year into the process, may seriously and negatively impact the ability of all Teams to successfully compete in the competition.<BR>
