There have been bans on plastic straws and bags, but what about the plastic rings that hold canned drinks together? Well, that could be next. Since the 1970s, six-pack plastic rings have been a symbol of harmful waste in the ocean. However, the rings have been a staple for beverage companies to hold canned drinks together. At MillerCoors, one of the oldest beer brewing companies, the plan is to get rid of plastic. "What we are trying to do is get away from the plastic and get more into the biodegradable, recyclable and bio-friendly solution," says MillerCoors brew master Jeff Nickel. The company has teamed up with Footprint, an environmentally-friendly manufacture of recyclable material. "Their goal is to remove most plastics from the environment," says Nickel. Together, the companies are creating new rings, made out of compostable material. It’s much sturdier and better for the environment. The new rings aren’t cheap, but Nickel says it’s worth it. "It's not necessarily money saver,” Nickel explains. “It will cost more money, but it makes sense environmentally long term." MillerCoors is still in testing mode with the new design, but they hope to roll out the new six-pack of recyclable rings in the near future. "Hopefully if we start setting the bar and people will follow," Nickel says. 1330

The University of Phoenix settled a legal battle with the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, by agreeing to eliminate 1 million in student debt and pay million to the FTC, the FTC announced. The settlement marked a record for the FTC."This is the largest settlement the Commission has obtained in a case against a for-profit school,” said Andrew Smith, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Students making important decisions about their education need the facts, not fantasy job opportunities that do not exist."The FTC sued the University of Phoenix for deceptive marketing to potential students, leading students to believe that the university worked with employers such as Microsoft and Adobe to create job opportunities. An example the FTC showed was of a TV advertisement that claimed that the University of Phoenix had a "growing list" of 2,000 partners while displaying logos for various large companies. In reality, these companies did not provide special job opportunities for students. The FTC will use its share of the settlement for consumer redress. The remaining 1 million will go to cancel student debt owed by former students who were enrolled around the time they were likely exposed to the university's deceptive advertising. The University of Phoenix said in a statement that it denies any wrongdoing. "After cooperating fully with the FTC’s inquiry, the University is pleased to have reached this settlement agreement and resolved this matter, which principally focused on a marketing campaign that ran from late 2012 to early 2014," the statement read. "The campaign occurred under prior ownership and concluded before the FTC’s inquiry began. The University continues to believe it has acted appropriately and has admitted no wrongdoing. "This settlement agreement will enable the University to maintain focus on its core mission of improving the lives of students through career-relevant higher education, and to avoid any further distraction from serving students that could have resulted from protracted litigation, as well as the time and expense of the litigation itself."Here is what's next for those former students affected by the settlement, according to the University of Phoenix:As determined by the terms of the settlement, a certain designated population of students who first enrolled between October 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016 are eligible for relief from accounts owed directly to the University. Other debts, including, but not limited to, federal student loans, are not covered and remain due pursuant to their terms.The University will automatically release outstanding account balances for this designated population of students. These students do not need to take any action. The University will notify them and manage the processing of their debt forgiveness.The University will ask the credit reporting agencies (Experian and Equifax) to delete the official record of debt for outstanding account balances for this designated population of students. The credit reporting agencies will then be responsible for processing any updates to the affected students’ credit reports.To the extent that access to diplomas or transcripts was restricted for these students because of the previously outstanding balance, the University will lift that restriction and will make official transcripts available upon request for this designated population of students at the cost of the published transcript fee. This will allow these students to more easily pursue further higher education if they choose. 3578

The US Food and Drug Administration approved a drug to return sexual desire to some women with low libido, the agency said Friday.The drug, bremelanotide, sold under the brand name Vyleesi by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, is an injection to be taken before sex. It's intended to treat women who are premenopausal and have hypoactive sexual desire disorder, where a lack of interest in sex may cause significant distress in a woman's life.It will be available in September, and the company has not yet determined pricing or reimbursement information, according to AMAG spokeswoman Sarah Connors."Most women who come into my office have no idea that there's this condition ... and that they are one of millions," said Sheryl Kingsberg, division chief of Behavioral Medicine at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center. Kingsberg was involved in the drug's clinical trials and has served as a paid consultant for the companies responsible for its marketing and development, AMAG and Palatin Technologies.Kingsberg, a clinical psychologist, said that "the impact of sexual dysfunction on a woman's self-esteem, on her body image, on her self-confidence and on her relationship is profound."Experts say the diagnosis is the most common type of sexual dysfunction among women, estimated to affect between 1308

This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. While the astronauts were the stars of the show, the flight controllers back in Houston has a supporting role. The Apollo 11 Mission Control Center at NASA was a historical landmark, but it wasn’t being treated as so.Four years ago, NASA chose Sonya Yungeberg and her team at Ayuda Companies to lead the restoration of the Mission Control Center.“We have been working on this project pretty diligently, starting at the research phase for about three years now,” Yungeberg says.The control center hadn’t been used since the 90’s and needed a lot of work. A team of over 100 people began restoring 50 years of history. Month after month, they sifted through photos, film and artifacts.“As you can imagine, when people go and take pictures or video, they are not looking at the stuff on the desk or under the desk,” she says.To recreate the past, they needed to go on the hunt for items that were no longer made, including old ash trays, coffee mugs, headsets and so much more. They spent months on eBay to find old replicas of the items. One huge component of the room they didn’t have to search for were the original consoles used by the flight controllers, like Director Gene Kranz.“Mr. Kranz came in one day and had been doing interviews and he turns and says, ‘Where’s my foot pedal?’ And all of us stood there dumbfounded for a second like, ‘Oh, there is a foot pedal,’ and so we went to find foot pedals,” recalls Jennie Keys with Ayuda Companies.One of their greatest accomplishments were the renderings on the big screen. “These were not available. They were not original,” Yungeberg says. “We had to recreate them and the detail in them from looking at footage, again frame by frame.”Attention to detail was mission critical. From uncovering the numbers on the walls, scraping the gum off all the chairs, matching the carpet that doesn’t exist anymore and even having the same bouquet of roses that were in the room for every launch. For the items they couldn’t track down, the team used a 3D printer to make them. After three years, the project was complete.“The plan was to have it open by the anniversary of the Moon landing, and we barely made it,” Yungeberg says.The seal of approval came from the original flight controllers who were over the moon about seeing the massive fragment of space history restored.“Gene Krantz said he didn’t quite cry, but he got a rush of emotion and he really, really loved it,” Yungeberg says.NASA congratulated the accomplishment by saying, “This is what happens when American’s come together and work hard.” 2635
