Squatters fill most of human DNA
The Washington Post reports a detailed analysis of the human genome showing humans use less than 1 inch of DNA for human construction while most of the genome hosts microbial and parasite DNA. These foreign elements, once considered junk, are widespread and shaped by millions of years of evolution, making the genome a dynamic ecosystem rather than a simple code.

Independence sought by quadriplegic Ken Kendall
Ken Kendall a 27 year old quadriplegic from Waterloo fights to move from Harmony House to independent living. He filed a civil rights complaint against Iowa with the federal Office for Civil Rights arguing the state violated the least restrictive environment mandate. Kendall seeks to use over 7000 dollars a month in funding for independent living rather than nursing home care and notes his case follows the 1999 Supreme Court ruling. Officials would not comment on the investigation.
