SUMMARY: 23andMe has been sold in a bankruptcy auction to its co-founder Anne Wojcicki and her nonprofit, TTAM Research Institute, ensuring customer genetic data remains protected. This nonprofit acquisition prevents profit-driven misuse of genetic information from 13 million users. Following a lawsuit by North Carolina and 26 other states, the sale includes consumer protections like independent third-party security audits and two years of free monitoring for customers. Importantly, users retain the right to delete their data. Wojcicki emphasized that TTAM will continue 23andMe’s mission to help people understand and benefit from human genome research.

Anne Wojcicki’s bid to buy 23andMe, the genetic testing company she cofounded nearly 20 years ago, has received the court greenlight.

SUMMARY: Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of more serious counts like racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, which could have resulted in life imprisonment. Despite the convictions, his attorneys called the verdict a victory. Combs remains in jail awaiting sentencing, as the judge denied bail citing a 2016 hotel surveillance video showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, evidencing a propensity for violence. Prosecutors expect a maximum sentence of five years, while defense seeks two years due to his clean record. Ventura, the key witness, accepted the verdict despite hoping for harsher charges.

Combs was found guilty on two counts, but acquitted of the most serious charges.

SUMMARY: Wednesday’s severe storms caused heavy rain, flooding, power outages, fallen trees, and multiple traffic crashes across the Triangle area. A tree fell on a family home in Ash Street, rendering it unsafe but fortunately causing no injuries. Rain and poor visibility contributed to crashes on I-87 and I-440, though no serious injuries were reported. Despite muddy conditions, the annual fireworks show in Wendell went on as planned, with attendees enjoying the celebration despite the wet weather. More rain is expected later this week, and residents are advised to monitor the WL weather app for updates on the forecast.

From flooding, to power outages, to fallen trees, we saw a little bit of everything.
