A California judge has ordered an online, for-profit university and its former parent company to pay $22 million in penalties, saying they mislead students about the costs of their education, among other things, the state's attorney general announced Monday. The San Diego Superior Court ruled in favor of the state of California in its 2017 lawsuit against Ashford University and and its then-parent company Zovio, Inc. The University of Arizona has since acquired the university and rebranded the online school, the University of Arizona Global Campus. It is an independent university that is operated in affiliation with the University of Arizona.

A shot of Curiosity was captured on a terrene known as Mont Mercou, which sits on the northern fringe of Mount Sharp, near the center of Gale crater.

Scientists are pulling inspiration from Noah's Ark in a new lunar proposal that they call a "global insurance policy." They hope to send an ark to the moon, filled with 335 million sperm and egg samples, in case a catastrophe happens on Earth. Instead of two of every animal, the solar-powered moon ark would cryogenically store frozen seed, spore, sperm and egg samples from some 6.7 million Earth species. The team's model for the underground ark includes solar panels, at least two elevator shafts and cryogenic preservation modules. University of ArizonaBuilding a "modern" Noah's ArkBased on some "quick, back-of-the-envelope calculations," Thanga said that transporting about 50 samples from each of 6.7 million species — totaling 335 million samples — would take about 250 rocket launches.

Underneath the stands of the University of Arizona’s football stadium, engineers with the school’s Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab manufacture the world's largest and most lightweight telescope mirrors. The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) project has started crafting another mirror segment. "The spin-casting is undeniably the most spectacular part of the manufacturing process," Buddy Martin, polishing scientist at the mirror lab, said in a statement . That bare-bones GMT will be bigger than any telescope operating today, Giant Magellan Telescope Organization (GMTO) project manager James Fanson said during Friday's call. In the end, the GMT's vision will be about 10 times sharper than that of the famous Hubble Space Telescope, project team members said.

Linebacker Treshaun Hayward announced Monday via Twitter his decision to transfer to the University of Arizona, where he’ll have one season of immediate eligibility. “I want to say thank you to the coaches (at) WMU for giving me an opportunity to play college football,” Hayward said in a Twitter post. I will now be a graduate student athlete (at) the University of Arizona.”Hayward went on to thank new Arizona coach Jedd Fisch and new defensive coordinator Don Brown for the upcoming opportunity. Hayward became the eighth WMU athlete to earn the Defensive Player of the Year from the MAC, and he also garnered All-American honors from the Sporting News (Second Team) and Phil Steele (Fourth Team). Arizona went 0-5 and allowed 39.8 points per game in 2020, which was Kevin Sumlin’s final year with the Wildcats.

Don Brown will have a familiar face working with him at the University of Arizona. He was the 10th and final assistant coach hired by Jedd Fisch, also a former Michigan staffer under Jim Harbaugh. He was also with Brown at Northeastern in 2002 and 2003, UMass in 1998 and 1999 and Brown in 1996 and 1997, the final two stops when Brown was defensive coordinator. Evans joined a previously committed list of Michigan players that includes receiver Nico Collins, cornerback Ambry Thomas, fullback Ben Mason and long snapper Camaron Cheeseman. A GOODBYE: Last week, after Michigan announced the hire of Mike Hart as running backs coach, Hart gave a public goodbye to Indiana University.

(AP Photo/Mark Baker)CANBERRA, Australia — Australia is advancing the start of its coronavirus vaccination program to mid-February, with plans to inoculate 15% of the population by late March. Mexico’s vaccination effort continues at a glacial rate, with about 7,500 shots administered Wednesday, a rate similar to previous days. John Bel Edwards and public health officials said Wednesday that efforts are being made to speed up vaccinations for the coronavirus. So far, state officials have administered 126,602 of the 522,550 doses the state has received. More than 329,000 people have been vaccinated in Florida — or about 1.5% of the population — almost all of them either health care workers, residents in care homes, or people over the age of 65.

A NASA spacecraft has really made a mess of things on the asteroid Bennu, and scientists are thrilled. Two images taken by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft show the sampling arm touch the surface of asteroid Bennu. The views from OSIRIS-REx showed a successful touchdown, a puff of rocky particles and a smooth departure from the asteroid Bennu. Mission scientists are hoping to collect 2.1 ounces (60 grams) of asteroid Bennu for return to Earth. A series of 16 images show the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft's view of its sampling maneuver on asteroid Bennu on Oct. 20, 2020.

A NASA spacecraft is preparing to land on an asteroid Tuesday to collect a sample. Spacecraft OSIRIS-REX is descending toward an asteroid named Bennu to suck up rubble as a sample for closer study back on Earth. OSIRIS-REX descended Tuesday toward the surface of the asteroid, which is 200 million miles away. The spacecraft dropped out of orbit around asteroid Bennu right on time, beginning a 4 1/2-hour plunge to the rough, boulder-covered face of the ancient space rock. Bennu’s gravity was too low for the spacecraft to land — the asteroid is just 1,670 feet (510 meters) across.

This undated image made available by NASA shows the asteroid Bennu from the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. After almost two years circling the ancient asteroid, OSIRIS-REx will attempt to descend to the treacherous, boulder-packed surface and snatch a handful of rubble on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020. “Sampling is in progress.”Confirmation came from the Osiris-Rex spacecraft as it made contact with the surface of the asteroid Bennu more than 200 million miles away. Bennu’s gravity was too low for the spacecraft to land — the asteroid is just 1,670 feet (510 meters) across. Japan expects samples from its second asteroid mission — in the milligrams at most — to land in the Australian desert in December.

Update for 6:58 pm ET: NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has successfully performed its asteroid Bennu sample-collection attempt, though it will take up to 10 days to determine if samples were actually captured.

This image shows sample site Nightingale, OSIRIS-REx’s primary sample collection site on asteroid Bennu. At Nightingale, OSIRIS-REx will spend about 15 seconds attempting to gather material before rising into space again, Buck added.

College students threatened to revolt if universities put another semester of classes online to avoid spreading the coronavirus but that's increasingly what campus leaders are considering doing. For Ryan Sessoms, a marketing student at the University of North Florida, the transition to online classes has been rocky. A slimmer 5% of colleges have committed to online classes for the fall semester. The fall semester may seem far out, but for higher education, its basically here, said Wendy Kilgore, director of research at the association. What gives her the most anxiety is the lack of clarity for what the fall semester will bring.

(Reuters) - Arizona on Tuesday said it would provide coronavirus antibody tests for 250,000 health-care workers and first responders in the largest such testing in the United States to date. Were going to be the largest and certainly the first to undertake a statewide testing of all healthcare workers and first responders, Dake, who is overseeing production of the tests, said on a conference call. First responders and healthcare workers are the first wave of testing, which may move onto other areas of the population, Dake said. The University of Arizona has pledged to give antibody tests to all 45,000 of its students and 15,000 faculty. Antibody testing is not a cure-all, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey said in a statement.

One-third of all animal and plant species on the planet could face extinction by 2070 due to climate change, a new study warns. Researchers studied recent extinctions from climate change to estimate how many species would be lost over the next 50 years. "When we put all of these pieces of information together for each species, we can come up with detailed estimates of global extinction rates for hundreds of plant and animal species." Instead, researchers found that many species were able to tolerate some increases in maximum temperatures, but only up to a point. "But if humans cause larger temperature increases, we could lose more than a third or even half of all animal and plant species, based on our results."

Millennials who implement "proactive financial strategies" tend to be happier and more satisfied with their lives, according to the new research. "People who save money report better overall well-being, including less psychological distress," Sabrina Helm, study author and associate professor tells CNBC Make It. "And people who buy less and consume less show less depressive symptoms, so there's a positive mental health effect." Although many people have been socialized to see products as solutions, simply reducing the number of things you use or buy might be the better strategy for your mental health, Dr. Luckily, there are concrete tips people can use to "step back from the consumerist approach" and feel happier with their lives, Dr.
