A 28-foot beam weighing more than 1,000 pounds was raised into place on the new Darla Moore School of Business Monday (Feb. 4), signifying that the apex of the University of South Carolina's most ambitious construction project has been reached.
University President Harris Pastides, members of the Board of Trustees and benefactor Darla Moore joined Moore School students, faculty and staff for a "Topping Out" ceremony to honor the construction crew as the structural or "steel" phase of the building nears completion and the enclosure phase begins. The celebration took place on the patio of the Koger Center of the Arts, across from the new building.
On the beam, signed by members of university community, was a Pindo palm tree, a symbol of growth and good fortune and reflective of one of the building's signature features, the Palmetto Courtyard. It is often customary for iron workers to place a tree or a flag at the highest point of a structure at this stage of the construction process. A second beam, signed by Moore School students last week, was erected on the northwest side of the upper level earlier in the day.
President Pastides praised the dedication of the workers for reaching the milestone.
"Today, we mark the impending completion of the structural construction phase of the Darla Moore School of Business, Carolina's most ambitious project to date, and take the opportunity to thank these talented iron and steel workers for their lasting contribution to the university and the Columbia community," Pastides said. "I am proud of the approximately 1,600 jobs that have been created as a result of the construction effort and equally proud of the Net Zero rating we are pursuing. As we raise the steel beam with the Pindo palm tree, let's all remember that the palm appropriately symbolizes growth and good fortune – something I envision for each and every student who will soon study within these walls."
Dean Hildy Teegen conveyed the pride felt by the greater Moore School community in seeing their new future academic home take form.
"The students, faculty and staff of the Moore School are thrilled to mark this important milestone in our project– one that will enable us to teach and learn in new ways, to break down disciplinary silos and to engage ever more fruitfully with colleagues on campus and in the business and policy communities on matters critical for advancing economic development in the Palmetto state," Teegen said.
The contractors working on the new Moore School, many of which are based in Columbia, were recognized by Jeff Lamberson, USC's director of campus planning and construction. Gilbane Co., Cumming and Brownstone Construction Group, responsible for managing the project, are bringing the iconic designs of Rafael Viñoly Architects to life.
"It's been a privilege to be part of such a great team of architects, engineers and builders, and we're honored to be building such a significant project for Ms. Moore, the Darla Moore School of Business and the university," Lamberson said.
The university began construction on the new Moore School in December 2011; the building project is on schedule for completion this December with use by faculty, staff and students beginning January 2014. Located at the corner of Assembly and Greene Streets, the building promises to transform business education at the university, serve as the front door to Innovista and usher in a new era of green building in the state.
Rafael Viñoly Architects said inspiration for the building's design was the state tree, the Sabal Palmetto, and describes the concept as a "natural structure that appears to grow naturally out of the ground and at its heart encircles a 'Palmetto Court.'"
Its open and flexible design is intended to foster interaction and collaboration among students and faculty in new ways, and be a hub for community engagement. A 500-seat auditorium has been designed for musical performance as well as lectures — the result of a partnership, and support from, the School of Music.
The new Darla Moore School of Business is the university's most ambitious sustainability project to date. It is on track to become the largest LEED Platinum building in South Carolina, with the university pursuing a Net-Zero rating through a partnership between the Moore School and the U.S. Department of Energy.

CakeSpy Note: Since it had been a while since I sampled the cupcakes from Common Ground, I was delighted to see a new review on their current offerings via this guest blog post from Cake Gumshoe Roxanne Cooke. Check out her website here!
Common Ground Coffee and Cupcakes in Renton offers a variety of interesting cupcake flavors and uses fresh, local ingredients—the perfect recipe for a small downtown cupcakery.
Mini cupcakes cost $1; large are $2; and "Special Occasion" cupcakes cost $2.50 to $3. The shop produces its homemade cupcakes on-site and uses locally produced cream and sweet butter, according to its Web site. Common Ground uses Caffe D'arte in their espresso offerings—and even makes a Caffe D'arte cupcake with latte-flavored frosting. Smoothies and bubble teas are other tasty options, especially the avocado bubble tea.
Inside Common Ground, there's plenty of seating and even a corner with children's toys. Though it was usually full, there was never a long wait to order. The décor and atmosphere seemed hip and yet homey. Baristas were friendly and prompt but not pushy. The mini cupcakes sit on a tray near the main display case, where the large cupcakes are presented neatly and labeled clearly.
On my first visit, I went for one of my favorite combinations: chocolate and mint. Once I took a bite of the Peppermint Patty cupcake (pictured top), I savored everything about it. This was one of the most delicious I've had. It felt heavy in my hand, and the cake was very dense, moist, and flavorful. The frosting wasn't too sweet, but instead complemented the cake well, with just the right amount on top. I could have done without the nonpareils, though they look cute.
My second visit took place on a very warm day. I bought a Strawberry Fondue cupcake and "The Smoothie" cupcake to go. Unfortunately, the beautiful strawberry banana frosting on The Smoothie didn't fare well in my hot car, so I won't be reviewing it. However, the Strawberry Fondue cake fared just fine. The frosting was a tad too sweet, but the cake was still moist and yummy. On a later trip I noticed real strawberries on these cupcakes—I bet that would have added an extra oomph.
On my final trip to Common Ground, I tried the Sweet Sixteen and Double Dutch. The Sweet Sixteen, covered in pink frosting and flaked coconut, had a great texture, but the frosting was too sweet for me. The white cake was fine, though a bit plain compared to the topping!
Dutch chocolate frosting and chocolate cake—how could you go wrong? Well, I was spoiled by the Peppermint Patty, and so I was slightly disappointed that this cake wasn't as rich and dense. It was still good and chocolaty, though, with flavorful frosting.
Since this shop offers seasonal cupcake flavors, I plan to go back and check them out this fall. It's a cute place with nice staff and a wide variety of drink options and cupcake flavors. Hard to resist when it's only a few miles from your office!

My students come from diverse Hispanic countries and have only been in this country a year or more. Often, some of the lessons that most general program classroom teachers would present are out of reach for my students, as they have not lived the experiences that many native-born American children have enjoyed.
A writing activity that I love to do this time of year takes me a few extra periods than it would in the classrooms of my colleagues. I call the activity "My autumn eyes behold". It can be done at any time of year, but I like to do it in the fall when the changes outside invite so much discussion and inspiration.
However, I work in an inner city school where most of my students live in apartment buildings or 2- and 3- family homes. Most of the trees near my school are scraggly and skinny, held up by string and stakes. The few leaves that manage to hold on, change colors, and fall to the ground are ignored, I think, and become just part of the litter that blows through the street. So, before I ask my students to "describe what you see on an autumn day," I invite them to join me for a "walk".
Imagine my students' amusement when this morning, as it poured rain and thundered furiously outside our window, I announced we would go for a walk. "But we'll get wet!" and "It's too cold!" they complained. "We're going to pretend" I said, as I turned on the LCD projector and shared a slide show (on Power Point) of the most beautiful fall images I could find on Google. I played Aaron Copland's Rodeo – Four Dance Episodes while we toured golden mountains, trudged through leafy yellow forests, sailed on a crystalline blue river that wove through a toffee-colored canyon, and picked orange and (surprise!) white pumpkins in a field where a scare-crow stood guard.
Accessing prior knowledge is an important part of good teaching. In my case, I often have to create and simulate experiences so that my students may have a bank from which to retrieve information. I cannot assume that they've seen the glorious colors of autumn, that they've sipped a cup of hot chocolate after raking leaves, or that they've jumped in to a pile of leaves and stared up at the sky.
After our "walk", I asked the students to make a list of all of the things they saw. After a few minutes, we brainstormed a list of the colors we saw. I expected they would say "red, orange, yellow, etc." as other color words are not yet part of their vocabulary. Next, I provided a list of color words that would broaden their personal word banks, as well as more closely describe what they saw.
Then, I did one of my famous "mini-lessons"; I read Under, Over, by the Clover by Brian P. Cleary. This fun book is about prepositions, which my fourth grade students need exposure to in order to develop proficiency in English. After a shared reading, we created a list of prepositions, and posted those at the board as well.
Finally, I posted the following pattern:
(color) (object) (where you saw it)
I asked my students to develop several of these phrases, using the lists we created. Tomorrow we'll revise, rewrite, and edit as needed. I'll also conference individually with several of the students, and have them tell me about their writing.
This poetry-writing activity is a painless way to facilitate vocabulary and word-order skills.

This is lovely. Thanks for sharing it.
I wonder if people truly understand the amount of time and thought it takes to weave together meaningful lessons like this EACH WEEK, EVERY DAY so that children will get excited about what they are required to know.
Lessons like this are my passion in regards to this job. Love it, love it!

I sure wish I had a teacher like you who made me love writing when I was in school. My senior year I got an AWESOME English professor who definitely encouraged my writing, but before that - not so much.
I tagged you over on my blog. I love yours!!

The Home Automation and Networking Association (HANA) the sponsor of one of the largest home networking conferences in the industry, has joined forces with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).
CEA will assume the sponsorship of the Electronic House Expo, a trade show and conference for installers, builders, contractors and distributors, starting with the spring show March 6-9 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. The show, which is in its third year, is recognized as the fastest-growing event in the home automation industry.
"The Spring 2001 Electronic House Expo grew about 35% in both exhibit space and attendance," said John Galante, vice president of EH Events and Education, the producer of the Electronic House Expo. "For the Fall Expo, we tripled our exhibit space and doubled our attendance."
HANA, a 12-year-old Washington, D.C.-based trade association, became Arlington, Va.-based CEA's new Home and Networking (HAN) Division when the two associations merged on Jan. 1. HANA's president, Duane Paulson, will serve as the chair of the HAN division. HANA's 500 members will all benefit from the merger of CEA and HANA and will have more access to market research, Galante said.
"The home automation and networking companies are going to have an organization with more resources and expertise behind them," he said. "It should mean higher quality programs and faster development of the market for those products."
Galante said the merger allows the two associations to draw on their strengths and work together to promote the home networking industry.
"The primary constituency of HANA has been automation and networking companies both at the manufacturing and at the trade level," Galante said. "CEA has strength of membership in categories such as audio and video. All of that is coming together in the home ultimately so the industry sectors should be able to cooperate more effectively in this context."
Previously, CEA merged with the Mobile Electronics Association and the Home Theater Industries Association. CEA President and CEO Gary Shapiro said both mergers helped grow important industry segments, and that the merger with HANA will also strengthen the home automation industry.
"Joining our strengths and expertise with HANA's will truly make CEA the home for all parties interested in this exciting sector and position this category for explosive growth," he said.

Want your Travellers to start exploring the Great Rift? Great Rift Adventure 1: Islands in the Rift is just what you need and you can grab your own copy right here: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/227 ... te_id=7242
Alternatively, you can pre-order the printed editon (due to appear in the next two months) here: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/rpgs/ ... -rift.html
In Great Rift Adventure 1: Islands in the Rift, the Travellers are sent to Amondiage in the Old Islands subsector to pick up a starship. Their mission is to take it to Zuflucht for transfer into Imperial space 'behind the claw' in Deneb or the Trojan Reach. However, the task is not simple; the ship is not sitting on a berthing pad at Amondiage - it is in fact on an entirely different world and not in a flyable condition.
Once the Travellers manage to reach the ship they can finally begin their voyage across the Islands subsectors. This, too, is not a simple matter. The Islands are prone to tension at the best of times and, at present, worlds in the region are on the brink of war. The Travellers risk being mistaken for spies – and not without cause, for their ship is an Imperial intelligence-gathering vessel. The Travellers will need to make a detour to collect a hidden stash of data before transit to Zuflucht, and there are those who want to get their hands on it first.

Fledgling Iraqi Military Is Outmatched on Battlefield
On Eve of Elections, Demoralized Army Is Losing Fight Against Islamist Militants
QARA TEPE, Iraq—Even as an al Qaeda-linked militant group celebrated a major victory in Western Iraq last month, militants from the same jihadist group launched another operation clear across the country.
In coordinated predawn attacks, gunmen blew up two bridges in a village outside the eastern town of Qara Tepe. They detonated a fuel tanker at a police base close to nearby Injana, shot 12 soldiers and incinerated their bodies. By afternoon, militants had attacked four other police and army checkpoints....

Summer Makeup: Go Blue or Go Home!
Summer Makeup: Go Blue or Go Home!
Thank goodness it's Friday! 🙂 I am a big fan of blue eyeshadow, and I really do think everyone should try a totally, full-on blue (I totally wanted to say Bang On Blue!) look at least once in their lifetime, even if they never wear it outside of the house.
I will say a couple things about this look: Atlantic Blue makes this look. Haight gets lost in it. I listed it, because I did use it, but I don't think you need it to recreate this look at all. You could also go with a cooler, pinker blush — sometimes all the coolness on my naturally warmer skin tone can be odd, so I wanted to try it with a bronzey cheek instead. I also went very heavy on mascara, since I wasn't going to apply false lashes, to make my lashes visible against the blue.
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), Urban Decay Aquarius Eyeshadow (light aqua-blue), Urban Decay Dashiki Eyeshadow (medium sky blue), Urban Decay Haight Eyeshadow (teal), MAC Atlantic Blue Eyeshadow (dark blue), MAC Femme Fi Eyeshadow (highlighter), MAC Blue Herizon Liquidlast Liner (blue), MAC Electric Eel Eyeshadow (bright blue), Make Up For Ever #7L Aqua Eyes (turquoise), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (translucent)
- Cheeks: MAC Get-Away Bronze Blush (reddish bronze)
- Lips: MAC Beachbound Lipstick (peachy melon), MAC Splashing Lipglass (pink)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Femme-fi = Shroom; Get-Away Bronze = Format; Beachbound = Melon pigment; Splashing = Flusterose
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Aquarius eyeshadow on the inner half of the lid and pull upwards along the inner crease. Lightly blend Dashiki eyeshadow on the outer half of the lid with the 239. Next, apply Haight eyeshadow into the crease with the 226, lightly blending outwards and upwards to fade to the brow bone. Define the crease with Atlantic Blue eyeshadow and the 226. Blend Femme-fi eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying #7L eyeliner on the lower lash line and blending Aquarius eyeshadow underneath. Line the upper lash line with Blue Herizon liquidlast liner applied with the 208; then pat Electric Eel eyeshadow on top to lighten. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Get-Away Bronze blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply Beachbound lipstick first, and then layer Splashing lipglass for a complementing lip.

MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, HALL 8, Booth 8B91, Barcelona, February 15, 2010 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), the global leader in flash memory cards, today introduced the new SanDisk® iNAND™ Embedded Flash Drives (EFD) with support for the e.MMC 4.4 specification. Based on 3-bit-per-cell (X3) NAND flash technology, the drives offer up to 64 gigabytes (GB)1 of capacity in a single device, and can be used for boot, system code and mass storage functions.
An increasing number of mobile phones offer a wide array of applications and storage-intensive content such as movie and music playback, imaging capabilities, gaming, GPS map data, business applications and more. SanDisk iNAND EFDs are specifically designed for these advanced smartphones and provide high capacity and reliable storage in a power-efficient package with a small footprint.
SanDisk's X3 Technology Enables High Capacity Embedded Storage
SanDisk's advanced X3 technology enables the development of high capacity embedded solutions that are robust and power-efficient with minimal package complexity. The successful development and wide distribution of many X3-based products through OEM and retail channels in recent years demonstrates both the technology's maturity and SanDisk's ability to bring to market reliable yet innovative solutions.
SanDisk's memory management expertise and X3 controller technology allow for the continued cost-effective growth of mobile storage solutions. 64GB iNAND EFDs meet the reliability and performance requirements of OEMs for mobile system grade storage. The new 64GB iNAND EFD is based on an eight flash die stack design using SanDisk's advanced X3 32nm flash, and is offered in a 16x20x1.4mm form factor with a standard ball grid array (BGA) for quick integration into smartphone designs.
"The maturity of SanDisk's X3 flash technology together with innovations in flash management are what allow us to continue making higher embedded storage capacities, such as 64GB, a practical solution in the market," said Oded Sagee, director, mobile product marketing, SanDisk. "We understand the highly competitive environment in which our customers operate. By leveraging the substantial experience gained with our X3 NAND and significant advancements made in flash management technology, we offer our customers a very high return on their investment."
Optimized For Maximum Efficiency
SanDisk iNAND EFDs consolidate system code and user storage into a single embedded device in order to conserve precious board space, simplify smartphone design, reduce power consumption and save OEMs the cost of an otherwise needed separate boot device. In addition, the drives utilize a unique state-aware architecture that grants the mobile host additional degrees of control over the storage device, enabling optimal resource utilization and improved system responsiveness.
iNAND devices based on X3 technology fully comply with the e.MMC 4.4 specification and range in capacities from 4GB to 64GB.

LOS ANGELES - After scoring three ninth inning runs to send Wednesday's game into extra innings, the UC Santa Barbara baseball team made sure to utilize the bonanza stanzas in defeating USC in a non-conference game, 5-4, in 12 innings.
Peter Maris' two-out single in the 12th inning scored Brett Vertigan as the Gauchos snapped a three-game losing skid and won its fourth midweek game of the season. UCSB improves to 18-17 overall while USC falls to 20-15.
While Maris' heroics sent the Gauchos home happy, it was a wild ninth inning that allowed the freshman from Laguna Niguel, Calif. to provide the winning hit.
With UCSB trailing 4-1 in the ninth, Steven Moon led off the inning with a single and Vertigan followed with an infield single. Lance Roenicke's single brought in Moon to make it a two-run game.
Maris, who came into the game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, tried to bunt but lined it back at pitcher Martin Viramontes, who tried to double up Roenicke at first. The throw got away and Vertigan scored with Roenicke moving up to second.
Marc Venning pinch hit for Ryan Palermo and lined an 0-2 pitch into center field to tie the game, 4-4.
Greg Mahle, who took the loss in the Gauchos' 14 inning defeat at Long Beach State on Saturday night, pitched four sparkling innings, allowing just three hits while striking out four to pick up his first collegiate victory.
Kevin Gelinas started the game for UCSB, but was on a strict pitch count as he was starting for the first time since February 24. The left-hander went 2.2 innings and struck out four before giving way to Jared Wilson.
Wilson went 2.1 innings and Matt Vedo added 2.0 more. The Trojans scored their runs off the pair of right-handers, but all four runs were unearned. An error by Moon and two by Brandon Trinkwon allowed USC to take a 4-1 lead as all four runs came in the sixth inning.
Santa Barbara's pitching staff was aided by four double plays from its defense.
The Gauchos had runners in scoring position in both the 10th and 11th innings and less than two outs, but were unable to push the winning score across.
UCSB had 11 hits on the night with six total - three each - coming from Vertigan and Roenicke.
UCSB continues its road swing by playing at Pacific for three games starting Friday at 6 pm and then picking up a game at Saint Mary's on Monday. All four games on the road trip will be broadcast live - click here to listen.

Customer Reviews
I recently found a job through the velvetjobs site. My overall experience with the site has been great over the last 6 months or so! I like the way the site is designed, very user friendly and I've made great contacts through the site as well. Overall, great experience! Even though I have recently found a job, I will continue to use the site as a resource.
I used Velvet Jobs and found their quality of service and products to be superior in the marketplace. When I had a question, they were always quick and helpful! The time & resources were well used. I highly recommend them and wish more companies gave the service and products that they encompass.
A friend of mine told me to use VelvetJobs to look for a gig. Within two weeks I was hired. Here's how it worked: I applied on-line for the job but I also used my contacts to see who I had on the inside to help me out. Turns out I did have connections and it helped speed along the process. I say VelvetJobs was integral in my job search because I wouldn't have known there was an opening at the company I wanted to join. There is no doubt in my mind that I found this job because of VelvetJobs.

In 9.10 Karmic Koala, there's the same problem with acer_wmi as in 9.04.Original Post:
However, your 9.04 fix causes instability in the kernel, in 9.10. That's because the blacklisting should be done by editing the existing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
conf. And not by creating a new file named blacklist.
Blacklist.conf by default already contains a list of blacklisted kernel modules. You can simply add the following lines for acer_wmi:
# switch the wireless chipset on
blacklist acer_wmi
The new kernel in the beta release of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope provides better support for netbook hardware including that of my Acer Aspire One, but it still has a few wrinkles that are fairly simple to iron out.
The first thing you're likely to notice is that the wireless connection doesn't work correctly out of the box. It should automatically load the open source ath5k driver and give you the option of using the proprietary madwifi driver (unnecessary in my experience), but you will get no signal and network-manager will have all of the options grayed-out/disabled.
To fix this, hop onto a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistand add the line
blacklist acer_wmiThis should fix your wifi access (and possibly fix your wireless indicator LEDs[!]) in one fell swoop, once you restart.
Next, there is a known issue with the SD card readers stemming from Jaunty's version of the Linux kernel that causes the left reader to fail with this error:
mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD cardThe left-side SD reader is otherwise not acknowledged, i.e. it doesn't create a /dev/ entry when cards are inserted and hotplug doesn't mount the disk (this problem also exists on the Dell Mini 9, so you guys can benefit from this too). To correct the situation, type into a terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/optionsand add (be wary of line breaks; I recommend copy/pasting instead of manually typing):
options sdhci debug_quirks=1
ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
Package: linux-image-
2.6.28- 6-generic 2.6.28-6.17
ProcCmdLine: User Name=UUID=
e309fb14- 05db-4e9a- b137-c6bf63eeb6 a4 ro quiet splash elevator=noop
ature: Ubuntu 2.6.28-6.17-generic
SourcePackage: linux
Reboot and most everything should work properly, hotplugging and all. Also to be aware of, the right-side reader does not work properly if there is not a card in it at boot. In this case, it won't show any trace anywhere that you even have a right-side reader.
For both of these fixes, all we've done is created a text file that the system loads as it boots. If you wish to undo these fixes, you can just delete the text files and it'll go back to normal.
Finally, ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't kill the xserver anymore in Jaunty because people were apparently pressing it accidentally...? You can supposedly re-enable it (if you like) by installing a program called dontzap:
sudo aptitude install dontzapand then typing into a terminal:
sudo dontzap --disableUnfortunately, this did absolutely nothing on my system. Maybe you'll have better luck. In the meantime, you can either restart your entire system, or hit ctrl+alt+F1 to drop down to a console and type:
sudo /etc/inti.d/gdm restartA scary blue and red error screen will pop up notifying you that there's already an xserver running, to which you can just hit OK and it will restart with the new one.
I've been using the netbook remix, which is really attractive and easy to use. Its launcher menu is incompatible with Compiz-fusion, but it looks nice enough that I don't even miss compositing.
Also of note, suspend actually seems to work now instead of totally borking my system, and the integrated mic/webcam seem to work much more reliably now.
Let me know if you have any issues and I'll try to help resolve them.
