WASHINGTON (AP) — College programs that leave graduates underpaid or buried in loans would be cut off from federal money under a proposal issued Wednesday by the Biden administration, but the rules would apply only to for-profit colleges and a tiny fraction of programs at traditional universities.The Education Department is calling it a significant step toward accountability for the nation’s colleges. With more students questioning the value of a degree, the measure aims to weed out low-performing programs and assure students the cost of tuition will pay off in the long run.“The rules proposed today are about helping ensure that when students invest in a postsecondary education, they get a solid return on investment and a greater shot at the American dream,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement.Opponents, however, say the scope is too narrow to help most students.Known as gainful employment, it revives an Obama-era policy that was dismantled by the Trump admi...1,100-year-old Hebrew Bible sells for $38 million at NYC auction

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. envoy for Yemen expressed “cautious optimism” Wednesday that the country’s warring parties will return to U.N.-led negotiations to end their deadly eight-year conflict. Hans Grundberg told the U.N. Security Council he is confident last month’s prisoner releases agreed to by the government and rival Houthi rebels will “build further confidence between the parties” and support an environment conducive for dialogue.The conflict has claimed thousands of lives and further impoverished the Arab world’s poorest nation.Grundberg said he was encouraged by positive and detailed discussions he had recently with officials from the government and the rebels, as well as with senior regional and Yemeni officials in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh and the United Arab Emirates capital Abu Dhabi, and with senior U.S. officials in Washington.The parties “demonstrated an understanding of the immensity of what is at stake and displayed willingness to constructively engage on...Spieth says wrist is feeling good enough to play ‘nasty’ Oak Hill

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Jordan Spieth finished nine holes of practice at Oak Hill on Wednesday and said his left wrist felt good enough to play in the PGA Championship, and good enough that he’s won’t rule out his chances of a career Grand Slam.That’s a big leap from a week ago, when he wasn’t sure he could make it to New York.“I wouldn’t play if I didn’t think I was in good enough shape to play,” he said after playing the front nine with Justin Thomas and Tom Kim. “I just don’t have the reps I’d like to have going into a major. But I’m happy I’m able to play because I surely didn’t think that a week ago.”Spieth missed the cut at the Wells Fargo Championship and then withdrew from his hometown AT&T Byron Nelson in the Dallas area because of a wrist injury that required rest.He did not say how he injured his wrist, calling it random, but that it was on the ulnar side. His left wrist is taped, with kinesiology tape r...What’s pitch tipping, what’s sign stealing, and when are they illegal?

Start with a couple sideways glances by New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge toward the first-base line.Mix in a massive 462-foot homer a couple pitches later.And voila! Major League Baseball has its latest cheating controversy.The latest kerfuffle started on Monday, when cameras caught Judge oddly diverting his eyes away from the pitcher just before smashing a long homer against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jay Jackson. The Blue Jays weren’t happy.“It’s kind of odd that a hitter would be looking in that direction,” Toronto manager John Schneider said.Jackson — demoted to Triple-A a day later — has since said he believes he was tipping pitches during the Judge at-bat. He thought a Yankees coach could tell what pitch he was about to throw and was signaling that info to Judge before the pitch was delivered.Even if that’s true, though, the Yankees weren’t necessarily cheating.There is no prohibition on teammates or coaches using the naked eye to study pitchers and r...ViaSat: Fiscal Q4 Earnings Snapshot

Hospital professionals at Kingston General Hospital held another rally in protest of the Ontario government’s plan to shift some surgeries to private clinics.While much smaller than the demonstration seen in Kingston at the beginning of the month, local unions and others throughout the province are continuing to protest the steps being taken by the province.Ontario passed Bill 60 last week, dubbed the “Your Health Act” by the Ford government, despite pushback from healthcare unions and supporters in the public.The passed legislation aims to “recognize the value of a healthcare system that collaboratively integrates publicly funded, community-based health services with local and regional health system partners” and “expand access to publicly funded community-based health services to improve patient wait times, patient experience and access to care.”The Ontario government says it’s attacking the 200,000 surgery backlog in Ontario, but he...Latest news
