Richardson, 45, was one of five men—all of them black or Hispanic— who were wrongly convicted of the 1989 rape of a white woman jogging in the famous New York City park. Following their arrests, Trump took out full-page newspaper ads calling for the men, who were teenagers at the time, to be hanged. Now known as The Exonerated Five, Richardson, Korey Wise, Raymond Santana, Yusef Salaam and Antron McCray all had their convictions vacated after each spending years behind bars when DNA evidence linked a serial rapist to the crime....
But will Merrill’s board give him as long as 4 to 5 years to show results? Perhaps, but he’d still better hit the ground running. According to an annual Booz Allen Hamilton study on CEO turnover published in May, boards are “quicker than ever to replace underperforming CEOs.” When the study originally published in 1995, one in eight chiefs were forced out of office. In 2006, nearly one in 3 left involuntarily....
A broken neck is a big deal because it is the central nervous system’s main, some may say only, connection between the brain and the body. It runs through the vertebrae. This is why an injury to the cervical vertebrae has serious consequences. In fact, any damage to the spinal cord can result in paralysis or death. Injury to the spinal cord at the level of the cervical spine can lead to temporary or permanent paralysis of the entire body from the neck down....
It was a rainy afternoon in Kolkata as the Red and Gold Brigade took field against a strong Peerless side who were also on a two matches winning streak. The conditions were not really favourable for either sides. The muddy and slippery ground did not allow the teams to play quality football. Nonetheless Trinidad and Tobago international striker Willis Plaza scored his maiden goal this season to give the home side the much needed lead in the 29th minute from Brandon Vanlalremdika’s corner....
The two clubs are vying for the Kolkata league title with the pressure being on Mohun Bagan as they haven’t won the competition for the last seven seasons. “Is there anyone who can stop Al-Amna? Let’s wait till Sunday,” was Jamil’s response. “This is my first derby as a coach. This will be my first experience of the derby as I never played in one. For us, this match is nothing less than a final....
Luxenberg–a pseudonym–is one of a small but growing group of scholars, most of them working in non-Muslim countries, studying the language and history of the Qur’an. When his new book is published this fall, it’s likely to be the most far-reaching scholarly commentary on the Qur’an’s early genesis, taking this infant discipline far into uncharted–and highly controversial–territory. That’s because Islamic orthodoxy considers the holy book to be the verbatim revelation of Allah, speaking to his prophet, Muhammad, through the Angel Gabriel, in Arabic....
There were two games, but no classics. And there appeared to be few champions involved. Michigan State, Duke, Kansas and Kentucky have made eight Final Four appearances and won two NCAA titles since they started this event at Madison Square Garden in November 2011. The Spartans were the only team that appeared to be headed in that direction at the end of Tuesday night — but, of course, there still is time for the other three to deal with the issues apparent on this night....
SIGN UP for a free 30-day trial of DAZN to watch the Champions League final in Canada He arrived at Liverpool FC last summer expected to do great things in Jurgen Klopp’s attack after scoring a combined 29 league goals in two full seasons at Roma in Italy’s Serie A.

Now, Robertson is a Champions League winner, an automatic starter on one of the best teams in the world. Robertson’s rapid ascent is a product of his own perseverance, his underrated skill and a bit of serendipity. He found the ideal home at the perfect moment in his career. He found that home, though, because Jurgen Klopp found him. And it’s ideal for him because Klopp is the man in charge....

From Sebastien Haller becoming only the 14th player ever to record a four-goal UCL performance to Thibaut Courtois’ monstrous campaign between the sticks, The Sporting News has dug into the data from across the season with all the key stats and facts below....
Arsene Wenger’s side sealed its place in the first knockout round with a 3-0 win over Olympiacos in the final group game but has been handed the daunting task of taking on Luis Enrique’s side.

Because the very last match revealed for the upcoming Champions League round of 16 was Real Madrid vs. Paris Saint-Germain. Does anyone really think UEFA would want to stick it to the team that has won this competition more times than any other? It’ll be great television to see Real Madrid in another meeting with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, their fierce rival from his 17 seasons at FC Barcelona....
Don’t expect to see either player take a backwards step when Madrid left-winger Vinicius Jr faces up to Liverpool’s right-back and creative fulcrum Trent Alexander-Arnold. The midfield battle between Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara - providing the Liverpool duo can get close to full match sharpness following recent fitness setbacks - and pass masters Luka Modric and Toni Kroos promises to be intriguing, while on the left-hand side of Madrid’s defence Ferland Mendy must repel a fired up Mohamed Salah with revenge in his nostrils....
The Gunners did well to recover from a poor start to the previous stage, but their failure to top the group has seen their odds drift from 20-to-1 to 40-to-1 after drawing the favorites in the futures market.

Now I ask you, would you like months to make this decision or days? "It's never a perfect time," says USC athletic director Pat Haden, "to do these things." You better believe it is. If change is imminent, get it out of the way so you can focus on the one thing every president, administrator and coach publicly says doesn't happen, but is the foundation of mid-season firings in college football....
