In California, the weather service extended a flood watch into Saturday for areas north of San Francisco.

Have you ever noticed how refreshing it feels to take a deep breath in a natural setting? It turns out there might be more to that feeling than just the absence of air pollution, Study Finds reports.
When we think about nutrients, our minds usually go to what we consume in our diets. But an in-depth review of scientific studies reveals strong evidence that humans can also absorb certain nutrients directly from the air we breathe.
Study Finds reports that a recent article in Advances in Nutrition introduces the term “aeronutrients” to describe these airborne nutrients, distinguishing them from “gastronutrients,” which are absorbed through digestion.

The Illinois Supreme Court has overturned Jussie Smollett’s conviction for falsely reporting a hate crime to Chicago police in 2019, citing prosecutorial missteps.
In a decision announced Thursday, the state’s highest court concluded that the actor should not have faced charges after entering a nonprosecution agreement with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.
The court acknowledged the widespread public scrutiny surrounding the case, with many considering the initial outcome to be inequitable.
