    ARCADIA — Santa Anita Park officials said Monday, June 17, its newly concluded winter-spring season, along with last year’s fall meet, combined to give the track a 99.97% racing safety record for horses, ranking it as the safest track of similar size and activity in North America.

    DENVER — As expected, Dodgers star Mookie Betts was officially placed on the injured list on Monday with a broken left hand.
    The 31-year-old shortstop was hit by a 97.9 mph fastball from reliever Dan Altavilla in the seventh inning of Sunday’s 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
    Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that he didn’t know how much time the seven-time All-Star would miss but said the injury would not require surgery.

    By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer
    SUNRISE, Fla. — Paul Maurice made the short trip from his home to the Florida Panthers’ practice facility on Monday morning in a pretty good mood and rightly so. The sunshine was bright, the temperature was warm and his team was one win away from claiming the Stanley Cup.
    That’s the glass-half-full outlook. The glass-half-empty perspective would be how his Panthers were coming off a seven-goal loss – tying the second-worst defeat by any te

    Democrats’ cynical crime package is backfiring
    With supermajorities in the Capitol and control of every state constitutional office, California Democrats often display their arrogance and ideological myopia. Sometimes, however, they go too far and spark a backlash. We’re seeing that play out now as the Legislature considers a package of anti-crime measures.
    The bills mostly are reasonable, but the Democratic leadership’s political approach has left Republicans, media outlets and even some moderates within their coalition crying f

    The crisis of low testosterone and what doctors advise patients
    Men’s testosterone levels have been declining over the last few decades, and no one knows exactly why. But South Florida doctors and researchers offer new ways to combat the problem.
    When a man’s level falls below normal, his sex drive, energy levels, body hair, and muscle size are affected. Low testosterone also can be a trigger for depression.
    A simple blood test  — at home or in a lab — can reveal whether testosterone levels are low.

For the batter, instead of flour, salt, baking soda, milk, butter, and some kind of sugar, it’s simplified by using fewer components — self-rising flour, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and melted butter. Easy, indeed.
