Ortiz Brothers To Square Off In Kentucky Derby

It doesn't happen often. The most recent set of siblings in the same Derby were Eddie and Sam Maple in 1984. The others were Chris and Greg McCarron in 1976, and Milo and Angel Valenzuela in 1960. None of the brothers won the race in the year they competed against each other, although Chris McCarron is a two-time winner and Milo Valenzuela won once.

Oscar Pistorius Trial Witness Heard Screams Then Shots

Michell Burger, who lives about 180 meters (196 yards) from Pistorius' house, said the screams woke her in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14 last year, when Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp by shooting four times through a toilet door. Pistorius, 27, says he killed Steenkamp by mistake thinking she was a dangerous intruder. Prosecutors, however, say the world-famous athlete shot his girlfriend after a fight. As soon as the trial started they used Burger's testimony to hint at a loud argument before the fatal shots....

Shoddy Arsenal reach unwanted milestone Despite being level at half-time in Wednesday’s Champions League last 16 first leg tie, the Gunners capitulated in the second half to leave on the brink of elimination. Alexis Sanchez had given the visitors hope as he cancelled out Arjen Robben’s impressive opener but the tie completely swung in Bayern’s favour in the second period. Four goals without reply, from Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller and two from Thiago Alcantara, means Arsene Wenger’s side are facing a monumental uphill struggle to stay in the competition....

Outrage Over Man Asking Fiancee To Use Inheritance To Pay For Brother S Ivf

According to the Pew Research Center, 33 percent of U.S. adults have either used fertility treatments or know someone who has. However, when it comes to treatments like IVF, money talks with the same study also finding 48 percent of people exposed to fertility treatments came from families with incomes of $75,000 or more. Just 19 percent were from families earning less than $30,000. With the National Conference of State Legislatures putting the estimated cost of a round of IVF at $12,000 to $17,000, the unfortunate reality is that money is crucial for any couple facing complications while trying to conceive....

Outsmarting An Illness

HMOs don’t trumpet their excellence at managing chronic conditions–they’re afraid of attracting a disproportionate number of expensive members. And excellence is by no means the norm. Only 16 out of 96 plans in NEWSWEEK’s 1998 HMO ranking won the highest grade for adult disease-management programs. To spot a topnotch program, check to see how well it does in each of these areas: Screening. Chronic conditions are easier to manage if they’re recognized early....

Over 30 States Legally Allow Forced Sterilization Opinion

The horrifying truth is that Britney’s experience under guardianship and its legality is just the tip of the iceberg. Quietly embedded in legal codes across the country, many state laws grant courts a draconian power: the power to order disabled people to be permanently sterilized against their will. I recently authored a new report that exposed just how far-reaching these threats to disabled people’s reproductive rights are. The report, released by the National Women’s Law Center with contributions from the Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network, detailed how the majority of states—31 states in addition to Washington, D....

Overexposed

Doctors could not agree more. The incidence of skin cancer has been on a worrisome upward trajectory in this country, affecting more than 1 million Americans a year. Melanoma–the least common, but most deadly form of the disease–strikes at more than twice the rate (14.3 cases per 100,000 people) it did three decades ago. Like Reagan, John McCain has struggled publicly with melanoma. He was first diagnosed in 1993; last year, in the middle of the Republican convention, doctors found a recurrence, removed the lesion–and McCain returned to the festivities with a bandage on his head....

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink tried to intervene but he did so half-heartedly. The Dutchman could understand his forward’s fury. On an infamous night of high drama at Stamford Bridge on May 6, 2009, Chelsea saw four separate penalty appeals waved away by referee Tom Henning Ovrebo during an enthralling Champions League semi-final second-leg clash with Barcelona. Ovrebo had ruled that Dani Alves’ foul on Florent Malouda had taken place outside rather than inside the area, and the Norwegian official had not seen Eric Abidal’s subsequent tug on Drogba....
