The container was screw-top and had slipped over the young bear’s head, stopping it from eating or drinking. Images of the cub’s rescue show it climbing up a tree in Wears Valley, Tennessee, with the container jammed on its head like an old-fashioned space helmet.

After a hungry bear went viral in 2017 while begging for fresh-baked brownies outside of a Connecticut home, the same wild animal returned once again on Thursday—this time, bringing her baby cubs for backup. The new video shows the bold bear and her yearlings going for a walk on an Avon property right across the street from the original “brownie house” the mom targeted four years ago. Megan Witcoskie wrote into her local WTNH news outlet with photographic evidence that the bear had returned to the neighborhood for a visit....
Reports linking Bayern to Real Madrid star James have intensified, while Goretzka – who starred at the Confederations Cup for Germany – only has one year left on his contract with Schalke. But Rummenigge thinks confirming the German champions’ interest in the pair would hinder them in any transfer negotiations. He did, however, praise the international performances of Goretzka, the midfielder who has been regularly linked with a Bayern move, and stressed his side were keeping their transfer market options open....

And Bayern announced on Friday that Mai - who joined the club in 2014 - has agreed a three-year contract until 2021. “I am very happy about this great opportunity,” the teenager said. “It has always been my dream to play for Bayern.

A 3-0 defeat at home to Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday extended Bayern’s winless run to four games across all competitions and leaves them sixth in the Bundesliga, four points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.

Hoeness, however, has made it clear he is backing Kovac to come through the rough patch....

It was only after Rivers received assurance from the league that swift and drastic action would be taken that Rivers decided to stay on — and not only stay on, but rally the rest of the organization to maintain its focus. But before Rivers, there was Elgin Baylor. And if Rivers can claim he was blindsided by the behavior and attitude of Sterling — an iffy claim, as Sterling’s history is well known — Baylor certainly can’t, not after 22 years working for Sterling as the vice president for basketball....
Dayton’s Obi Toppin was compelled to enter the NBA Draft, aware he’d be selected in a prominent position, and the Flyers entered a rebuilding season. Kansas center Udoka Azubuike was out of eligibility, and the Jayhawks followed with a fine season, just not extraordinary. Gonzaga All-American Filip Petrusev chose to turn professional in Europe, but the Zags this year were great without him, as they were the year before (Elite Eight), the year before that (Sweet 16) and the year before that (Final Four)....
However, any Bayonetta fan can confirm that it’s the mechanics, not the lore, that’s worth getting excited for.

The most notable pair of new additions to Bayonetta’s arsenal were named in a PlatinumGames blog post after the trailer capped off its Nintendo Direct....
While Chaudhary did acknowledge the popularity of Indo-Pak cricket which brings in huge revenues to the ICC, Chaudhary sounded skeptical about whether a bilateral series between the two sides is viable in the present political context. “In any world competition or championship, if say 20 teams play, it is not possible to play each team against each other. The problem in not having a series between India and Pakistan is something which affects international cricket to a large extent....
