Database on Houston area housing trends to be compiled by UH
By SHAYLA LAMOTTE
The National Science Foundation announced on Nov. 19 that it is giving the University of Houston Center for Public Policy a $49,500 grant to create a database to reflect Houston's stagnant housing market.
The Regional Real Estate Database, a fused project with the UH Institute for Regional Forecasting, will be used to enlighten researchers and policy makers on the causes and complexities of foreclosures, slow housing sales, declining home prices and the economic crisis.

UH women's basketball head coach Joe Curl will have his first chance to obtain career victory No. 300 tonight when the Cougars host Texas Southern at 7 p.m. at Hofheinz Pavilion.

The semester is wrapping up right along with the year. Some of us will be here in the spring, and some of us will have moved on. Wherever life takes you, know that UH will always be a part of you.

With limited space each week, it was impossible to answer everyone, but I did the best I could in choosing topics everyone could relate to.
