Colorado State University Libraries has been involved in multiple digitization projects since 2000. with the growth of the number of projects (and project managers) and the development of an Institutional Repository, the Libraries decided to develop a data dictionary, including input guidelines of core metadata elements that would guide project managers at CSU Libraries in metadata planning for their specific projects.

Our review of 35 states indicates that there is more activity now than ever before in the MMIS procurement and implementation space. MMIS solutions have evolved steadily since they were first mandated and funded in the 1970s. During the past four decades, Medicaid data, system processes and architecture, and transaction specifications have been standardized to allow for improved program management and broader health care IT interoperability. The State's current MMIS is over 20 years old, with components that are over 30 years old. The current MMIS needs to be replaced.

Recycled energy, also known as waste heat to power (WHP), is the process of capturing heat discarded by an existing process and using that heat to generate electricity. In Colorado, the term recycled energy is more commonly used and qualifies under the states Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) as an eligible resource. Under the Colorado RES, recycled energy systems must have a nameplate capacity of 15 megawatts (MW) or less, convert the otherwise lost energy from the heat from exhaust stacks or pipes to electricity and not combust additional fossil fuel to be eligible. In addition, recycled energy does not include energy produced by systems that use waste heat from a process whose main purpose is the generation of electricity. In the industrial sector, most recycled energy streams are generated by kilns, furnaces, ovens, turbines engines, and other equipment. Waste streams suitable for recycled energy can also be generated at field locations including landfills, compressor stations, and mining sites.
Positive youth development is an approach, not a program, that guides communities in developing and implementing services, opportunities and supports so that young people can be engaged and reach their full potential. It is a conceptual and practical lens that can enhance prevention, intervention and treatment models. What makes this approach unique is that it emphasizes the many positive attributes of young people and focuses on working to develop inherent strengths and assets in youth to promote healthy behavioral development. Positive youth development depicts youth and young adults as resources to cultivate, not problems to fix, by incorporating the following guiding principles into programs.
