The Portuguese endured European disappointment with Chelsea and Real Madrid on this date during his coaching career, but also clinched domestic success in his second stint with the Blues. Derrick Rose would also be forgiven for having bittersweet feelings, considering it marks the anniversary of a personal milestone achieved before injury issues struck. Take a look back at some of the momentous moments in sport that have occurred previously on this day....

Even if that’s true, victory for Fujimori and his supporters in the presidential and congressional elections on April 9 is still far from ensured. For the first time in his spectacularly successful career as a politician, Fujimori faces a serious challenger: Alejandro Toledo, 52, the director of a business school in Lima. With the dark skin and Indian features of a rural cholo, Toledo is as far from the urban, Spanish-descended mainstream as Fujimori himself....

The survey, conducted by VTsIOM, found that 35 percent of Russians agree with the statement that “the Sun revolves around the Earth.” Sixty-one percent of respondents disagreed with the statement, with the remaining 4 percent saying they were unsure, according to Forbes Russia. In total, 1,600 Russians, spread across the country, were polled for the VTsIOM survey titled “Why Enlightenment Is Necessary, or Again About Common Misconceptions.” Over the past 15 years, according to VTsIOM data, the proportion of Russians who wrongly think the sun revolves around the Earth increased by 7 percent....

The poll, conducted of 1,732 adults in the UK on Friday, revealed that only 3 percent of women thought they could get one past the 23-time Grand Slam champion. Responses to the informal poll were mostly humorous: “Oh to have the confidence of a mediocre white man,” tweeted one reader. “If she trips and falls, maybe,” another joked. “It’s the same 1 in 8 men who reckon they could outplay Megan Rapinoe in a wee game of 5 a side,” tweeted another....

A look at the details is, in a word, terrifying. Clinton, despite his neoconservative rhetoric, appears from his policy blueprints to be a programmatic liberal. He proposes at least two dozen new tax and spending programs, including national health insurance, welfare reform, national education reform and universal job training. The Clinton campaign hasn’t estimated the cost of its national health plan and says the other three programs should total about $20 billion a year....

DaMarcus Beasley, Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez and Brad Evans appear to be the current first-choice back line, at least based on the number of starts in the hexagonal. Aside from Besler, though, no spot is really safe. Gonzalez started 8 of the 10 hexagonal matches, but his slip-ups against Mexico last month prompted Klinsmann to declare open season on the center back competition. The LA Galaxy man must prove himself again during the next three weeks....

This has happened on various occasions before, so Oda’s decision to illustrate the fight, it came off as a pleasant surprise. The fight between the two members of the Worst Generation is still ongoing, and it is quite difficult to call a victor, but the upcoming One Piece chapter should shed more light on it. It would be unwise to rule out Law, but Blackbeard’s Yami Yami no Mi can nullify the power of any devil fruit, so that gives the Emperor an edge....

The main reason of my gleeful grunt was Mr. Ian Holloway. Ollie’s lines seem to come straight out of a well thought Guy Ritchie script. Add maybe, a bit of Quentin Tarentino for good measure.

It is also, paradoxically, his most humane and compassionate book. Father and son are genuinely affectionate toward each other. Each would give his life if it meant the other could live. This is as far as McCarthy has ever gone to acknowledge the goodness in people. And in the light of that relationship, the question that the novel implicitly poses–how much can you subtract from human existence before it ceases to be human?...

“Words can’t really define it. No words, really. We came up short,” Parker said following Duke’s upset loss to Mercer in the 2014 NCAA Tournament round of 64. “We can say a lot of stuff that we didn’t have, but we just didn’t take advantage of what we did.” This likely was the end of his Duke basketball career, his college basketball career, after one season and first-team All-America status....
