DERRICK ROSE LAWSUITLOS ANGELES -- NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends were cleared in a $21.5 million lawsuit that accused them of gang raping his ex-girlfriend when she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol.Jurors in Los Angeles federal court reached the verdict in less than four hours after concluding there was a lack of evidence to support the womans claims and dismissing her account as unbelievable.Rose remained stoic as the verdict was read and later thanked jurors and posed for photos with them in the lobby, draping his left arm around each one who wanted a souvenir of the Knicks point guard as one of his lawyers snapped photos on their phones.The case was X-rated at times with testimony from the men about poolside group sex at a mansion Rose rented in Beverly Hills in the summer of 2013 and multiple sexual encounters throughout the night and into the next morning.BAYLOR SEXUAL ASSAULT INVESTIGATIONWACO, Texas -- Baylor University is under federal investigation after its former Title IX coordinator filed a complaint over sexual violence on the universitys Waco campus.In a statement, a spokeswoman for the federal Office for Civil Rights said the investigation opened after the agency received a complaint from Patty Crawford, Baylors former Title IX coordinator.As Title IX coordinator, Crawford was entrusted with enforcing federal standards meant to prevent discrimination based on gender at Baylor.Crawford resigned as Title IX coordinator early this month.

In Newtons case, the team physician and an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant asked the trainer for video of the hit, but a technology glitch delayed the video.After getting the replay and observing Newton on the sideline, the physician and neurotrauma consultant said no further evaluation of the quarterback was necessary.Under the new protocol, the trainer in the booth would be able to stay in contact with doctors on the field until receiving word that a concussion evaluation has occurred.Cheap Jordan From China . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night.

Cheap Air Jordan 11 .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season.Test rugbys most potent sibling partnership will start together for the All Blacks for the first time.After five impressive bench appearances, dynamic flanker Ardie Savea is in the run-on side to face South Africa in Christchurch on Saturday, replacing the injured Sam Cane.It is the only starting change from the side who roared away late to a 57-22 win over Argentina in Hamilton last week, extending the unbeaten All Blacks lead in the Rugby Championship.Openside flanker Cane suffered a hamstring injury which will sideline him for at least a month, opening the door for 22-year-old Savea to show his prowess from the opening whistle.He will do it alongside brother Julian, the 46-Test, 42-try winger who is four years his senior.With Julian returning to his best form in a patchy season, the Saveas represent a twin ball-carrying threat which is the envy of other international teams.They became the 44th set of All Blacks siblings in the first Test against Wales in June but this week will join just nine others in starting a Test together.Ardie Savea has been earmarked for higher honours since starring at schoolboy level and touring with the 2013 All Blacks to Europe as a non-playing apprentice.He has made a late impact in all five Tests but coach Steve Hansen last week said a starting role would test the mettle of the Hurriccanes dynamo.dddddddddddd.Hansen says the flanker is relatively light for Test forward at 102kg and will probably need to beef up to become more effective, especially on defence.His promotion creates room on the reserves bench for three-Test flanker Matt Todd, called into the squad when Cane was diagnosed.Injury has forced another bench change, with Aaron Cruden (groin) making way for Lima Sopoaga.Hansen has rarely altered his squad through the Rugby Championship and says he expects a fierce challenge from a Springboks side coming off two losses on the road.With South Africa having their backs to the wall, we know nothing but our best will be good enough. Accuracy with intensity will be paramount, he said.Whilst we have been reasonably happy with our three games to date in the Rugby Championship, we are always striving for improvement.New Zealand: Ben Smith, Israel Dagg, Malakai Fekitoa, Ryan Crotty, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (capt), Ardie Savea, Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Joe Moody.
