Suez canal making a profit

Tue, 17/08/2010 - 22:09 by Prince damin

Cairo -- Egypt's Suez Canal authorities said they netted their largest daily income since the global economic crisis in 2008 making more than $18.7 million in profit.

Development work on the canal and the passage of 65 ships on Friday carrying loads exceeding 3 million tons contributed to the boost, the Egyptian newspaper al-Masry al-Youm quoted members of the Suez Canal Authority saying.

The canal is one of Egypt's most important sources of income and is also perceived as an indicator of the status of world trade, the newspaper said.

Construction work on the canal this year increased the water depth to more than 62 feet, officials said, thereby facilitating the passage of ships carrying heavy loads, the report said.

Rules on for-profit colleges published

Sat, 24/07/2010 - 09:18 by Rakhi

Washington -- An association that represents for-profit colleges is calling proposed rules to end federal aid for schools whose graduates don't repay loans "unwise."

The Obama administration Friday published regulations that would require for-profit colleges to have at least 45 percent of their former students paying the principal of their loans for the institution to be fully-eligible to receive student aid. Schools with less than 35 percent of former students paying down loans would not qualify for federal aid for new students, The New York Times said.

The Career College Association, which represents for-profit colleges, issued a statement calling the proposed change "unwise, unnecessary and unproven."
