President Joe Bidens fitness to stand trial and his fitness to serve as president are not comparable standards, the forensic psychiatrist who led the movement to oust Donald Trump from the presidency via the 25th Amendment contends.

Dr. Bandy X. Lee, who edited The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, first released in 2017, said earlier this month that she did not judge Bidens cognitive decline to be a danger to his service as a president.

Last week, several Republican lawmakers responded to her comments, with many alleging a double standard for judgments of Trump and Biden.

In a detailed email sent Friday to The Daily Signal, Lee responded to both GOP lawmakers comments and The Daily Signals coverage of her comments in what she called too many misconceptions by lawmakers and in the news story.

The investigative report that special counsel Robert Hur released on Feb. 8 looking into Bidens mishandling of classified documents said Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen at his home and office.

However, Hur said he would not seek charges because Biden would appear to a jury to be an elderly man with a poor memory and because his diminished faculties make it less likely he intentionally violated the law.

Robert Hur is not a mental health professional, and he commented on capacity to stand trial, not capacity to serve, Lee told The Daily Signal in the detailed email.

Several Republican lawmakers have made the comparison of Bidens capacity to stand trial and his ability to do the job of president.

Among those lawmakers, Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., argued, Either President Biden is fit to stand trial, or he is unfit to serve as president. There is no middle ground.

Lee, who has worked for Yale, Columbia, and Harvard, responded, On the contrary, fitness to stand trial and fitness to serve are two different standards.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a Republican, made a similar comment to Tenney, to which Lee said, Actually, you can [compare fitness to stand trial versus fitness to serve as president], because they are two different standards.

Lee insisted that she and other mental health professionals conducted an evaluation of special counsel Robert Muellers 2019 report and determined Trump was not fit to be president. Mueller investigated allegations of a conspiracy between Trump and Russia to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

Lee disagreed with a statement from a previous Daily Signal story on Wednesday that Neither Trump nor Biden were evaluated by medical professionals for mental fitness, which was meant to convey that neither man was personally examined. She contends the review of the Mueller report counted as an actual evaluation.

Again, there was a formal mental capacity evaluation done by a panel of the nations top mental health experts, for which Donald Trump failed every criterion, Lee wrote about her colleagues and her review of the Mueller report.

While the Mueller report did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities, several aspects of the report indicated temperament issues with Trump.

The press release that accompanied Lees and her colleagues 2017 evaluation said, Without diagnosing, these top experts on mental health demonstrate, through a standard procedure, that the president clearly poses a danger to the nation and the world in his role as commander in chief.

She also responded on Friday to several Republican members of Congress who said there was a double standard among the people who called for ousting Trump for supposed mental health reasons but who apparently have no problem with Biden.

In extended comments in her email to The Daily Signal, Lee was also dismissive of a cognitive test that Trump took in person while in office. She said this was a 10-minute screening.

He [Trump] passed a 10-minute cognitive screen by his personal physician who did not have proper qualifications or the training to do a fitness test, Lee told The Daily Signal.

Lee is the co-founder of the Violence Prevention Institute and is the president of the World Mental Health Coalition, a coalition specifically created to critique Trumps mental health, and author The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.

Last week, Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., told The Daily Signal, There has been a glaring double standard. The same people who questioned President Trumps mental stamina after he passed a cognitive test are now defending Bidens mental acuity.

Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., told The Daily Signal, The only reason youd refuse a cognitive test is if you cant pass it.

Lee scoffed at this presumption.

If he [Collins] is referring to the one Donald Trump passed, there is another reason: it would be an insult, if not a grave concern, for a president to have to take that 10-minute screen (not a full test), Lee wrote in the email.

Referring to another lawmakers comment, Lee wrote, Again, Donald Trump did a 10-minute screen, which if he did not pass, he would be in a nursing home. She also noted, That was a 10-minute screen, on which hospitalized psychiatric patients get perfect scores.

Lee expressed that she was not happy with how Wednesdays Daily Signal news story came out. The story included comments from several GOP members of Congress.

I was told that a publication by The Heritage Foundation would at least be intellectual, she said (Heritage is the parent organization of The Daily Signal). There were just too many misconceptions, I had to respond.

She took exception to the storys reference that she defended Biden.

A psychiatrist does not defend a president; she detects (or not) signs of unfitness, regardless of person, Lee said.

She also disputed the previous Daily Signal stories that said making an assessment of either Trump or Biden without an in-person evaluation could violate the Goldwater Rule. Lee countered that it actually fulfills the rule.

The Goldwater Rule prevents psychologists from offering a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement. The American Psychiatric Association adopted the rule after a group of partisan Democratic psychology professionals declared that 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater was psychologically unfit to be president.

Lee said her previous evaluation of Trump didnt violate the rule. Rather, it fulfills the ethical guideline that precedes 7.3 (the Goldwater Rule), which is 7.1: Psychiatrists are encouraged to serve society by advising and consulting with the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches of the government.

Specifically, the 25th Amendment to the Constitution allows for the vice president and a majority of presidential Cabinet secretaries to determine whether a president is physically or mentally unfit to carry out the duties of the office. If the president is deemed unfit, the vice president would become acting president on a temporary basis.

Under the amendment, Congress could remove the president from office permanently with a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate. That is a higher bar than for impeachment, which requires only a simple majority in the House to vote for impeachment and a referral to the Senate for a trial and possible removal from office.

A new VR startup wants to make a fitness-focused glove, and eventually a fitness-focused headset too.

Vi is being founded by XR entrepreneur Cix Liv, who previously cofounded the VR livestreaming tool LIV and the VR fitness tracker YUR. Liv was working on a mixed reality esports game called REK since 2022, but canceled it last year citing low audience interest as well as the technical and practical issues inherent in using headsets outdoors.

Joining Cix at Vi is engineer Eugene Nadyrshin, who designed a VR glove with haptic feedback back in 2018, and product designer Marcus Kane, who has experience with consumer electronics and previously produced renders of Quest Pro and Quest 3 before they were announced based on leaked CAD schematics.

Vi fitness glove prototype being tested with Apple Vision Pro.

The Vi glove is designed for resistance training. It features a pressure sensor that can sense the weight of dumbbell you're lifting, and an IMU (a chip with an accelerometer and gyroscope) that can sense the number of reps. Vi claims the goal is to be able to track resistance bands, push ups, pull ups, dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, and more. It will support Apple Vision Pro first, communicating via Bluetooth as demonstrated in the video above. Vi says it's exploring Quest support, but that it may not be possible due to how Meta has locked down the Bluetooth stack.

The Vi headset on the other hand seems more of an aspiration than a solidified plan, at least for now. Liv tells UploadVR that it will based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 reference design headset, with a (non-lenticular) front display and a small battery in the rear strap to achieve a slim and balanced design. Vi is targeting 60-90 minutes of battery life, matching what Liv claims is the maximum typical VR fitness session. Liv tells us the headset shouldn't be expected until late 2025 or early 2026.

Vi's plan is to sell the hardware at cost and make the money on a subscription to its fitness service, which the headset will boot into, and the only application it will support at launch.

As always, we should note that mass producing and shipping consumer electronics is extremely challenging, and many (if not most) startups fail to deliver.

Vi Is A VR Glove For Fitness, And Eventually A Headset - UploadVR

Doctors say people who use smart devices to track their health and fitness need to be aware of what the technology can and cannot track.

The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning that any smart ring or smart watch claiming it can measure one's blood sugar levels without piercing the skin is unable to do so.

Those devices have not been approved or authorized by the FDA.

The concern is that patients will rely on these devices and receive inaccurate measurements and errors, which could be life-threatening.

However, doctors say some smart watches and devices can effectively track other important health and fitness information.

"There's some trackers that only check your step count. Then there's others like watches that can tell you how much sleep you're getting and the quality of your sleep as well as your heart rate, which can be important with someone with a potential underlying heart conditions," says Dr. Laxmi Mehta, a cardiologist with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Dr. Mehta says because people have their smart devices on them the majority of time, the devices can sometimes resister potential issues that are not caught by tracking and testing set up by doctors.

"I've had some patients that we've put monitors on them for a whole month and we can't find anything because it's just infrequent, too infrequent. And when they have these devices, we're able to find out like, gosh, you know what they're experiencing is real. It's not anxiety, it's not something in their head. There's something real, but we just can't capture it on our monitors because the monitor is not worn too long," says Dr. Mehta

Cardiologists say smart devices have not been shown to help alert people to a potentially dangerous abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation.

If the condition goes undiagnosed for a prolonged period, it increases one's risk of having a stroke.

Local fitness coach joins team of all-women rowing from California to Hawaii - News-Press Now

Vice President Kamala Harris said in a recent interview published this week that as doubts grow over President Joe Bidens ability to continue to serve as commander-in-chief amid questions about his mental fitness, she is ready to step up and be president.

The remarks from Harris come after Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded in his criminal investigation into Bidens handling of classified material that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials, but no criminal charges were warranted, adding that prosecutors also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a juryas a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.

The report said that Biden could not remember basic details about major events in his life, including when he served as vice president in the Obama administration, and he could not remember within several years when his son died, even though he talks about his sons death often.

Biden then held a press conference to demonstrate his mental fitness for office and ended up yelling at reporters and forgetting numerous key details.

The report and the subsequent press conference ignited alarm bells among top Democrats who are privately panicking over Bidens electability, as a recent poll found that 86% of Americans believe he is too old to be president again, and 76% have concerns about his mental fitness.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Harris was asked if voters concerns about Bidens age and mental fitness meant she must convince them that she is ready to take over.

I am ready to serve. Theres no question about that, Harris responded. She claimed that everyone who sees her on the job walks away fully aware of my capacity to lead.

Jennifer Palmieri, who worked in the Obama and Clinton administrations and for Hillary Clintons failed 2016 campaign, told the Journal that Hurs report has really brought Harris ability to serve into the spotlight as she could be needed sooner rather than later.

There was always going to be a lot of scrutiny and pressure on her in the 2024 campaign, and that moments here now, she said. I think that the special counsels report has sort of accelerated that moment.

A recent Harvard CAPS / Harris poll found that if Biden decided not to run again, Harris would be the top choice among Democrat voters at 15%. After Harris, 8% of voters wanted Hillary Clinton, 7% wanted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), 7% wanted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), 5% wanted California Governor Gavin Newsom, and the list thins out from there.

An NBC News poll from last year found that Harris was the lowest-rated vice president in the history of the survey, with a -17 rating. Other vice presidents that were rated included Dick Cheney (+23), Al Gore (+15), Biden (+1), and Pence (-4).

The Abdulhamid Han Mosque is starting to attract fitness-conscious faithful from other houses of worship - MDJOnline.com

Whether you are an artist or a fitness freak, it does not matter. What matters is whether you have tried wall exercises yet. We are all surrounded by walls. Some walls are physical structures and some are metaphorical created by us also known as boundaries. Today we are going to talk about wall exercises you can do while you are at home if you do not want to invest in equipment.

Five ways to make your fitness routine more fun and engaging - The Mountaineer

550 miles separate UO junior Lexi Stevens from her home in the Bay Area. Like many first-year students, Stevens struggled to find community at UO when she arrived two years ago. That changed when she came across CHAARG, a club committed to combining friendship and fitness for college-aged women.

There are more than 110 chapters of CHAARG, or Changing Health, Attitudes + Actions to Recreate Girls, on college campuses nationwide. The organization's mission is to unite women through a wide variety of workout classes, as well as social events and small groups.

CHAARG members will participate in one workout class a week, trying out local studios from Glow Yoga to the Downtown Athletic Club. Additionally, members will join a small group of eight to ten women that will meet for coffee, go for walks or hit the gym. There are also multiple socials a term, with activities fit for that given season. Last term included a cookie decorating event.

Stevens and her friend Natasha Carrillo, a fellow UO junior, joined the group together in 2021. The two now serve as vice president of media and president & ambassador, respectively.

Stevens is responsible for running all of CHAARG's social media channels, which includes creating graphics and edits. Carrillo acts as the liaison between CHAARG's UO chapter and Nationals.

"It's just been an amazing experience to not only grow it with her and grow it with all of our other amazing exec members but to just be a part of something so moving and such a warm and welcoming community," Stevens said in reference to working with Carrillo.

Anna Carpenter, a sophomore at UO, discovered CHAARG at last year's Flock Party. Carpenter, who always had a passion for fitness, was immediately drawn to the community that CHAARG offered. When a spot opened on the group's executive board, she ran for and won the position of vice president of membership.

"I've met some of my closest friends through CHAARG," Carpenter said. "Every time I go to a workout, I'm just so happy to work out with the people next to me. Everyone is so positive. We do CrossFit sometimes, and I mean, it's hard. But having everyone to motivate you and give you positive feedback is really helpful."

Carrillo said that while going to the gym at UO can be intimidating, CHAARG has helped create a welcoming and inclusive space for her and others.

"My favorite part of CHAARG is creating that safe space for girls, Carrillo said. My freshman year, it was hard to find clubs that I was interested in, and now I feel like we've established ourselves pretty well known on campus. Hearing so much of the positive feedback from some of the girls is the most amazing aspect of it."
