New YorkCNN — Many 23andMe customers signed up to the genetic testing service in hopes of learning fun or interesting information about their past. But consumer advocates are now urging those users to request the deletion of their accounts and data from the site, to prevent their genetic information from ending up in unexpected hands. San Francisco-based 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Sunday and said it would pursue a sale, after years of struggling to find a sustainable business model. That means the company — and the genetic information of its 15 million customers — will likely soon be up for grabs to the highest bidder. At least while the company goes through the sale process, it says it won’t change how it manages or protects customer data. And 23andMe board chair Mark Jensen said in a statement that “data privacy will be an important consideration in any potential transaction.” more at https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/25/tech/23andme-bankruptcy-how-to-delete-data

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A man in the Netherlands ended up suffering serious pneumonia after being infected with a bacteria strain not previously reported in humans. According to a March 2025 research letter published by “Emerging Infectious Diseases,” the patient was a healthy 74-year-old man living in a coastal town. He lived a “socially withdrawn lifestyle,” but he regularly fed wild aquatic birds during the winter. Part of his feeding routine included hand-feeding, and he occasionally would get bird droppings on his clothing. Researchers said the patient was admitted to a hospital in the winter of 2021 after suffering from a fever of about 102 degrees Fahrenheit, confusion, and shortness of breath for four days. The letter noted that he was a nonsmoker and was vaccinated against influenza and COVID-19. Eventually, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit as he went into respiratory failure, requiring him to be placed on a ventilator. more at https://www.wfla.com/bloom-tampa-bay/bloom-health-and-wellness/man-ends-up-in-icu-after-getting-chlamydia-from-bird-feeding/

my name isn't google and i don't do homework assignments.

they are not "unknown" the link below has the names listed

something seemed odd to me about all of this, so i did some digging and this is what i found: so the two main points i get out of the above link are: 1. this is a temporary thing: come to the U.S. for a period of two years to live and work lawfully 2. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) grants DHS the discretion to temporarily allow certain non-U.S. citizens to enter or remain in the United States if they apply for admission but lack any legal basis for admission in short, it is temporary and it is at the discretion of DHS. that translates to it has an expiration date and the government can cancel it away at any point. it appears that the the biggest driving factor behind it being cancelled is the abuse of the program: in the staff report (linked in the above article and also direct linked below), there is even more interesting revelations (bolded portion by me): • USCIS has approved CHNV supporters who admitted to receiving means-tested public benefits as part of their income listed as evidence that they can support a CHNV alien.19 Thus, American taxpayers may actually end up supporting CHNV aliens despite Biden- Harris Administration claims that those aliens will have supporters in the U.S. • USCIS has refused to tell the Committee whether it has any mechanism or remedy to ensure that CHNV supporters fulfill their agreement to provide the CHNV alien financial support during the time for which the alien is paroled in the U.S.20 If the approved supporter does not financially support the CHNV alien, that burden will fall to American taxpayers. • USCIS has confirmed CHNV supporters who are aliens in the United States on a short- term basis and who are subject to removal from the U.S. at any time, such as aliens on temporary visas, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients, and even parolees themselves.21 As a result, CHNV is a supercharged chain migration program in which foreign nationals in the U.S. on a temporary basis can sponsor additional foreign nationals to travel to the U.S. on a temporary basis, who can then sponsor additional foreign nationals to enter the country, and so on. • USCIS has approved CHNV applications to allow aliens into the country who do not even reside in one of the four CHNV countries.22 • Sex traffickers have potentially used CHNV to exploit women and girls. A fraud analysis of CHNV applications revealed that some applications that were sent from the same IP addresses were submitted on behalf of a high proportion of female CHNV aliens. In one such case, 21 supporter applications were submitted from the same IP address on behalf of 18 females and only three males. At least six of the females were under the age of 18. The DHS analysis, which was completed in May of 2024, documented substantial evidence of fraudulent activity in the Biden-Harris Administration’s CHNV program. For example: • The same Social Security Number was used on at least 20 different CHNV supporter applications. This happened more than 3,200 times. • The same phone number was used on at least 20 different supporter applications. This happened more than 3,300 times. • The same email address was used on at least 20 different supporter applications. This happened nearly 2,000 times. • The same 184-word text response to a question on the supporter application was used on more than 1,800 such applications by nearly 190 different CHNV supporters. • More than 460 nonexistent zip codes were used on supporter applications on behalf of more than 2,800 CHNV aliens. more eyebrow raising points at https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-11-20 The Biden Harris Administration's CHNV Parole Program Two Years Later - A Fraud-Ridden%2C Unmitigated Disaster.pdf my thoughts are: this was a poorly designed and poorly executed fiasco from the start. blaming trump for ending the abuses listed above (and in the linked articles) isn't where the blame should fall - it instead should fall on those who took advantage of the program to ruin it for those with a valid case.

"Big" George Foreman, one of the most influential and recognizable boxers of all time, died Friday, his family announced on his social media account. He was 76. Foreman, who captured an Olympic gold medal in 1968, was a two-time heavyweight champion and Hall of Fame boxer. He's perhaps best known for the historic Rumble in the Jungle bout with Muhammad Ali in 1974 in Zaire, a fight Foreman lost in an upset via eighth-round KO. It's arguably the most famous fight of all time and the "When We Were Kings" documentary that chronicled the fight won an Oscar for best picture. more at https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/44350851/two-heavyweight-champion-george-foreman-dies-age-76

PORT EVERGLADES, FLA. (WSVN) - The U.S. Coast Guard offloaded approximately 45,600 pounds of narcotics worth more than $517.5 million at Port Everglades. The crews of U.S. Coast Guard cutters Stone and Mohawk, along with the assistance of other agencies, intercepted 14 shipment of illicit narcotics in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. An operation of this magnitude takes quite some time, so the teams were deployed at sea for four months. “Here at Port Everglades over 22.5 tons or 45, 000 pounds of cocaine, and 50 pounds of marijuana are valued at over half-a-billion dollars are going to be off-loaded and taken out of circulation.
