ArsDigita University ADU was a one year, intensive post baccalaureate program in Computer Science based on the undergraduate course of study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT . It was financed and supported by the ArsDigita Foundation, a non profit organization begun by ArsDigita Corporation . The majority of the instructors were professors from MIT and the program was tuition free. After running from September 2000 through July 2001, seeing the first class to graduation, the dissolution of the ArsDigita Foundation forced the program to shut down. Most of the course lectures were videotaped. The tapes and other course materials are available free under the Open Content License from http www.aduni.org aduni.org , a website maintained by alumni of the university. That site exists to carry on the school s mission of supplying free education, and streams 150GB month of lectures to thousands of people around the world.

A sustainable community energy system is an integrated approach to supplying a local community with its energy requirements from renewable energy or high efficiency co generation energy sources. The approach can be seen as a development of the distributed generation concept. Such systems are based on a combination of district heating , district cooling , plus electricity generation islands that are interlinked via a private wire electricity system largely bypassing the normal power grid to cut transmission losses and charges, as well as increasing the robustness of the system . The surplus from one generating island can therefore be used to make up the deficit at another. United Kingdom In the United Kingdom the first sustainable community energy system was pioneered by Woking Borough Municipality Council , starting in 1991. The system uses traditional and a Phosphoric acid fuel cell phosphoric acid fuel cell http www.woking.gov.uk html queensaward W 19.pdf co generation plants, thermal store thermal storage , heat fired absorption cooling and photovoltaics over 9 of the UK s small capacity , to supply both residential and non residential customers, as well as the Council s own facilities. By end of 2005 there were over 60 generating islands in the Borough. Despite the investment in the plant, the system delivers cheaper energy than can be supplied from the traditional brown energy suppliers, helping to tackle fuel poverty . It is part of a plan to cut local carbon dioxide emissions by 60 by 2050 and by 80 by 2100. Their initiatives won the Council the Queen s Award for Enterprise in 2002 http www.woking.gov.uk news archive?item 988025744 .

The CRS was implemented in 1990 and the http www.fema.gov library viewRecord.do?id 2217 National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 codified the CRS within the NFIP.

There are 10 CRS classes Class 1 requires the most credit points and gives the largest premium reduction Class 10 receives no premium reduction. The CRS recognizes 18 creditable activities, organized under four categories numbered 300 through 600 Public Information, Mapping and Regulations, Flood Damage Reduction, and Flood Preparedness. As of October 1, 2010, there are 1,148 communities receiving flood insurance premium discounts based on their implementation of local mitigation, outreach, and educational activities that go beyond minimum NFIP requirements. Although premium discounts are one of the benefits of participation in the CRS, it is more important that these communities are carrying out activities that save lives and reduce property damage. These 1,148 communities represent a significant portion of the nation s flood risk as evidenced by the fact that more than 67 of all flood insurance policies are written in CRS communities. Communities receiving premium discounts through the CRS cover a full range of sizes from small to large, and a broad mixture of flood risks, including coastal and riverine.

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date May 2007 The Houston Community College System Foundation was founded in 1976 to provide scholarships to Houston Community College students and to support the college s efforts to attract and educate Houston area students including many non traditional students and those facing barriers to higher education. Like virtually all community college foundations, for most of its existence the HCCS Foundation functioned primarily as a clearinghouse for scholarships, accepting funds from donors and awarding them to eligible students. It was not expected to engage in large scale solicitation of funds. Much has changed since the HCCS Foundation s establishment. Higher education has become a requirement for earning a stable living, and businesses have begun clamoring for a more educated workforce. At the same time, tuition and fees at four year institutions have skyrocketed, and Houston s demographics have shifted, with the majority of the city s young people now coming from backgrounds historically unlikely to receive higher education . Like community college foundations around the country, the HCCS Foundation recognized the need to expand its role and develop more sophisticated fundraising strategies to support HCC and its students. A new executive director was hired, along with a development team who have begun reaching out to Houston foundations, corporations, and individuals to support student scholarships and selected HCC capital projects throughout the city. In 2007, the HCCS Foundation launched a http www.hccsfoundation.org.new website , Houston Community College students can now apply online for all scholarships offered through the HCCS Foundation. Also in 2007, the HCCS Foundation was reclassified by the Internal Revenue Service as a Section 509 a 1 and 170 b 1 A vi publicly supported charity under section 501 c 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. coord missing Texas Category Universities and colleges in Houston, Texas Houston stub ... more details
