(The Hill) – Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley says former President Trump could die in prison if convicted on just one count after being indicted by the Justice Department last week on dozens of charges related to his handling of classified documents. “The problem is, he's got to run the table — he's 76 years old,” Turley, a former opinion contributor for The Hill, said of Trump during an appearance on Fox News. “All the government has to do is stick the landing on one count, and he could have a terminal sentence. You're talking about crimes that have a 10- or 20-year period as a maximum.”Turley said the evidence laid out against Trump in the indictment revealed last week is "quite strong." Trump tops DeSantis by 38 points in new poll after news of indictment "Now, we have not heard their other side.

The 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials will be held at Target Center, a source said. An official announcement is expected from Minnesota Sports and Events at 11 a.m. Tuesday.The news has been hinted at for weeks, starting with an Instagram post from Gov. Tim Walz featuring local gold medalist Suni Lee on May 3. The last gymnastics trials, put off a year because of the coronavirus pandemic, was held June 24-27, 2021, in St. Louis.The event will be of particular interest to Minnesotans if Lee, a St. Paul native who won the all-around gold medal at the Tokyo Games in July 2021, can compete. That, however, is in question since Lee announced in April that a kidney issue had ended her college career at Auburn.Former University of Minnesota gymnast Shane Whiskus also competed at the Tokyo Games and is a member of the five-man U.S. team competing this month at the Pan American Games from Oct. 20-Nov. 5 in Santiago, Chile, and is expected to be a contender for 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris....

How AI is beginning to play a part in personalized nutrition

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 05:34:39 GMT

Have you ever done an internet search for health or nutrition advice? You probably received one-size-fits-all recommendations. The fact is that everybody is different and there’s no one best diet for everyone. Now science is one step closer to helping us better understand how to personalize nutrition recommendations based on individual factors.The field of personalized nutrition, sometimes referred to as precision nutrition, is making important advancements thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).AI uses computers to perform human-like decision-making and problem-solving. The NIH Nutrition for Precision Health (NPH) study will use AI to create and validate algorithms to predict individual responses to foods and eating patterns. This study is part of a larger All of Us research initiative to better understand how individual human biology influences the effects of diet and environmental, behavioral and social factors on hea...

Rebecca Wang was just 7 years old the first time it happened.She remembers vividly her teacher’s panicked face, and her urgent voice telling Rebecca and her classmates to keep quiet, hide behind their desks and stay calm.They were barricaded in a Northern California classroom for four hours until police found the man who’d run across their campus with a gun. Wang didn’t understand what was going on, but when they finally walked outside, her entire family was waiting — and they looked terrified.“It was pure chaos,” said Wang, now 17. “We didn’t really know what was going on, but we knew the teachers were scared out of their minds.”After 10 years of waiting for things to change, Wang — a rising senior at San Jose’s Gunderson High — decided to take things into her own hands. This summer, she and three friends will be refining SIREN, an artificial intelligence device they’ve trained to detect gunshots and instantly communicate with all students, staff members and teachers at an affected...
