Medina Spirit, a Bob Baffert-trained horse, won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 1, but a failed drug test surfaced on Sunday, May 9, casting doubt on the legitimacy of Medina Spirit’s victory in Churchill Downs. Baffert, though, is maintaining his innocence throughout the ordeal. On Monday, he said that Churchill Downs’ statement was a product of “cancel culture,” and now the controversial horse trainer has revealed why the horse failed a post-race drug test....

The Better Call Saul star, 58, updated fans from his makeup chair and said he was back enjoying life after his earlier health scare. “Back to work on Better Call Saul!” he captioned the photo on Twitter. “So happy to be here and living this specific life surrounded by such good people.” He added: “BTW this is makeup pro Cheri Montesanto making me not ugly for shooting!” In July, the Breaking Bad star collapsed and suffered a “small heart attack” while filming the prequel series in New Mexico....

This would redound in favor of Japan’s opposition leader, Ichiro Ozawa, if he were not seen as equally inept. Though Ozawa’s Democratic Party won a landslide victory in last month’s parliamentary by-elections, Ozawa is not a clear front runner himself. According to a recent opinion poll by Mainichi Shimbun, Ozawa bests Fukuda by a mere four points. Experts say Ozawa has hurt his standing with hard-line tactics he’s used against Fukuda—such as voting down a string of nominees for the Bank of Japan’s governor post—and his inability to present convincing alternatives to Fukuda’s policies....

In Winter Park, police responded to a call about a disturbance on February 19, in which Daniel Knight, now identified as the bride’s uncle, was allegedly “assaulting guests at the wedding reception,” the police department stated the following morning. The police bodycam footage, which was released on Wednesday and shared by local news source WESH, shows one of two police officers approaching a man and a woman outside of the Winter Park Events Center....

The former national security adviser for President Donald Trump refused to cooperate with House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, and he threatened a court fight if he was subpoenaed to testify about Trump’s effort to have Ukraine aid his re-election bid. Senate Republicans rejected Democrats’ demands to call him as a witness during the trial, even though Bolton was willing to publicly spill the beans on his former boss. Democrats say that information about an American president courting foreign election assistance is critical for voters to know, particularly in an election year....

MORE: Prosecutors may soon rest Hernandez case Courthouse employees were allowed to return to the building when the threat was lifted shortly before 1 p.m. Other details, including the nature of the threat, were not disclosed....

In a Tuesday interview with Fox News, Suarez noted a brief history of U.S. involvement in overturning foreign leaders. His history mentioned the U.S. airstrikes in Kosovo during the country’s 1999 humanitarian crisis. “Are you suggesting airstrikes in Cuba?” Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum asked Suarez. “What I’m suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored and cannot be just simply discarded as an option that is not on the table,” Suarez answered....

Currently the Clinton administration is focusing its efforts on tightening economic sanctions against Serbia. It also wants the U.N. Security Council to pass a resolution to finally enforce the no-fly zone over Bosnia. One important roadblock to the measure fell last week. White House officials told NEWSWEEK that Russia has agreed not to oppose the no-fly plan if the Serbs fail to sign the Vance-Owen pact by April 1. The Bosnians signed last Thursday....

Reasons for Bone Marrow Transplant Bone marrow is found in larger bones in the body, such as the pelvic bones. It is the manufacturing site for stem cells, also called hematopoietic stem cells. These are pluripotential, meaning that they are the precursor cells that can evolve into the different types of blood cells, such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. If something is wrong with the bone marrow, or the production of blood cells is decreased, a person can become very ill or die....

At Calgary, she won the 500-meter speed-skating race in a record time of 39.1 seconds. It was a bold performance; she took the ice just moments after East German Christa Rothenburger had thrown down her glove, having set her own world record. As George Bush might have said, it would not stand. At Albertville, Blair will be the United States’ only returning gold medalist. Abroad she is a revered champion, whom European fans have serenaded with “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean....

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the pharmacy aisle. In our quest to find a balance between providing our children relief when they are sick and avoiding medications that have unfavorable side effects, there is a huge boom in the “natural and medication-free” market. One such product comes to us from the makers of the popular Boogie Wipes. This product is called Boogie Mist. It is a kid-friendly packaging and version of nasal saline spray to help relieve congestion in children’s nasal passages....

GUIDED TOURS OF HELL, by Francine Prose (Metropolitan. $23). These two buoyant novellas describing dark nights of the soul in Prague and Paris are among Prose’s most winning works. In the title story, a nebbishy American playwright lugs all his petty miseries along on a tour of a concentration camp. Death-camp culture doesn’t normally inspire satire, but Prose mingles the horrific, the funny and the poignant with perfect pitch. “Three Pigs in Five Days” tracks another tourist as she searches Paris for clues to her emotional disarray....

“My daughter was so worried,” Knapp says. “She didn’t know how she was going to be able to pray for a whole minute.” If necessity was the mother of Knapp’s invention (it’s selling steadily in Christian bookstores and to church groups), she credits Texas lawmakers for creating the need for her book. She offers a “special thanks” to the 78th Texas State Legislature on the book’s dedication page and prints an excerpt of the law in the back....

‘Medicus’ by Ruth Downie It’s such a pleasure—because it’s such a rare experience—to come across a completely well done piece of commercial fiction. What a pro Ruth Downie is, and this is only her first book. I don’t know if she closely researched her story (set in Britain during the Roman occupation in the time of the emperor Trajan). I do know that everything about the story, its setting and its people seems compellingly real....

Busts can come in a variety of forms, from the guys you avoid at all costs to the guys who are simply being being drafted too early. Sometimes avoiding a certain player pays off (like Terrelle Pryor last year); other times, you pass on the wrong guy (turns out Keenan Allen’s injury history was nothing to fear last season). Either way, it’s important to recognize red flags and identify players who might not produce as much as other owners anticipate....

Johnson posted a letter to Twitter addressed to the “Armed Forces Community,” and said those who served in Afghanistan should “feel immense pride.” He added has been “lost in admiration for the heroic efforts of everyone engaged in Op PITTING,” the country’s military operation to evacuate British nationals, and Afghans from the country. “There has been nothing like it in speed and scale, certainly in my lifetime,” Johnson wrote....

The latest blow to Yeltsin’s reputation stems from the serious allegations of corruption. In early July Swiss prosecutors announced that, at the behest of their Russian counterparts, they were launching an inquiry into whether Swiss contractors hired to renovate government buildings paid kickbacks to Kremlin officials, who laundered the money through Swiss banks. Then last month Italy’s Corriere della Sera reported that investigators had linked Yeltsin’s family to the renovation scandal....

The 20-year-old has scored 14 goals and added five assists in 20 appearances for SV Steinbach so far this season, attracting interest from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund. Man Utd set new 22-year low Dortmund brought in the youngster on trial last month, but Arsenal look to have entered the race to sign Hanslik after he posted a photo on his private Instagram page with Germany internationals Ozil and Mustafi at Arsenal’s training centre in London Colney....
