Medicare Now Covers Less Invasive Colorectal Cancer Tests
(NewsUSA) – Expanded Screening Coverage Can Reduce Needless Deaths
Colorectal cancer deaths are declining, but shocking regional, racial and ethnic disparities remain. Ac-cording to the American Cancer Society, Latinos in the United States are more likely to die from colorec-tal cancer than those in many Central and South American countries, and death rates among Black men and women are 40% higher than their white counterparts. Rural residents are also far more likely to die from this often-preventable disease than those in urban areas. Much of this is due to lack of screening.
Colorectal cancer care groups, minority healthcare advocates and doctors have long held that virtual colonoscopy, or CT Colonography, can overcome cultural stigmas and anxiety associated with this screening.

Governor Ron DeSantis Welcomes SpaceX’s Starship Operations to Florida
TALLAHASSEE Fla.—Today, Governor Ron DeSantis welcomed SpaceX’s decision to bring Starship launch capacities and processing operations to Florida. Starship will be the first rapidly and fully reusable launch vehicle in history, designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
In support of these missions, SpaceX will construct new launch and landing infrastructure for Starship at multiple pads within NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, pending environmental approval, as well as a new integration facility, called Gigabay, which will have more than 40 million cubic feet of vehicle processing space. The project includes at least $1.8 billion of SpaceX capital investment and will bring an estimated 600 new full-time jobs in the Space Coast by 2030. Continue reading

AI processes information that you feed into it. It will process things that it was taught. So we need to teach AI about religion and GOD in a logical sense. It is always dangerous to talk about religion and especially writing about it but here I go! Now remember I’m not a religious scholar. I am trying to get people to think about the future and AI.
Our belief in God is taught to us as history of our creator through the Bible. Without Adam and Eve taking a bite of an apple man kind would not exist. Reverse psychology has worked for years, “Don’t bite that Apple”. Remember man and woman have to eat to survive. There was no fire to cook with. It was a hard life to be born into. Continue reading
